The Thirteenth Hour
Minute 1~Thoughts~
As the sun began to set, it's glowing rays shone down on castle Oblivion. Roxas sat staring at it's beauty for the first time in many days. As the light dissapeared Roxas stood up and headed for the main lounge. A loud noise startled him as he passed the room occupied by the slightly insane Vexen.
'He's probably conducting more experiments like usual,' Roxas thought.
As he entered the lounge he noticed everyone was in their usual places. Saix staring out the large glass window, Demyx on the couch playing his Sitar and Zexion reading in his chair. Axel was off on a mission with Xion, Xigbar and Xaldin were most likely playing poker with Luxord, and Marluxia and Larxene were most likely off arguing like usual. The whereabouts of Lexaeus and Xemnas were unknown to Roxas.
He sat down on the empty couch across from Demyx and wondered what causes people to act the way they do.
"Hey, Roxas. You look a little distracted today. Everything alright?" Demyx asked putting his Sitar down beside him. Roxas simply nodded and stood up. More heartless had been appearing in the worlds and it was making Roxas feel uneasy. he wasn't in the mood to talk with Demyx right now. He decided to head back to his room. Maybe some peace and qiet would calm his head.
As he sat down on the bed a lot of thoughts were running through his mind. A loud laugh from the hall made yet another thought crawl its way into his mind.
Axel was back.
Roxas leaped off the bed so fast he nearly tripped on his own feet. He opened the door only to bump into the black haired Xion and falls back against the wall.
"Oh, Roxas! I'm sorry, are you okay?" Xion asked helping him stand properly.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Hey, where'd Axel go anyways?" Roxas poked his head down either side of the hallway hoping to see sight of the flaming red hair. Xion tapped him on the shoulder and pointed towards the kitchen.
Roxas bolted for the kitchen hoping to catch Axel before he began his 'sandwich phase'. He entered the kitchen just as Axel sat down with a plate of-what looked to be-four ham and cheese sandwiches.
"Hey, Roxy! Man, you missed a good mission! After Xion and I got rid of the heartless in Twilight town we watched some kids play a game called Struggle! This kid in camoflauge nearly fell off the stage!" Axel laughed as he picked the crusts off of his sandwiches.
"Struggle is a big sport in that town. That kid is always playing. No matter if he wins or loses, that girl and her friend always seemt o cheer him on." Roxas smiled, thinking about how it's sort of the same way with him and Axel. He took a seat across from Axel, sneaking one of his sandwiches while he wasn't looking.
Roxas heared a loud thud, and a crashing noise as the door to the kitchen opened to reveal Marluxia wearing a pink bath robe and a towel around his head.
"Why does Larxene insist we keep a vase outside of the kitchen when she known I'm terrible when it comes to glass objects?"
Roxas laughed and gave his shoulders a light shrug.
"Anyways, Axel, I need to borrow your hair dryer. Larxene stole mine and refuses to return it until I confess to stealing her boots."
"Sure Marly...I'll catch you in the morning Roxy."
Roxas started to clean up the table, until a thought occured to him.
"AXEL HAS A HAIR DRYER?"
