Leon paced back and forth as Aerith checked on the unconscious boy in front of them. Leon sighed as he continued his pacing. Running options through his head. Aerith looked at him.
"Leon is something wrong?" she asked him worried about him. Leon stopped pacing and shook his head.
"Nothings wrong. I was just thinking." He told her. Aerith raised an eyebrow.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked him. Leon pointed at the unconscious boy in front of them.
"Should we really help him? He part of the organization isn't he? There must be survivors from the organization and he must be a spy." He told her. Aerith shook her head not believing Leon.
"So what if he's from the organization? Look at him Leon." She pointed in the direction of the boy she was treating. "He's just a kid Leon. What are we suppose to do? Leave a defenseless and vulnerable boy out there where it is infested with heartless?" she asked him. In no way was that happening. Not on Aerith's watch. This strange boy hadn't woken up yet but Aerith felt some pull in her heart to protect this frail looking boy. Leon began pacing.
"But what if he's a spy?" Leon asked. Aerith shook her head.
"Then don't tell him anything that might be useful. And I doubt the rest of the organization is alive. Sora and his friends took care of that already." Before they could further discuss this they hear a tiny noise erupt from the unconscious boy.
"R-roxas…" the boy whispered before he became silent again. Aerith looked at the boy.
"Roxas?" she asked even though there was no way the boy could hear her. Leon rubbed his chin with his head.
"Didn't Sora say something about a Roxas?" he ask as he thought. Aerith seemed to know something.
"Maybe that was Sora's nobody." She concluded. Leon nodded. Aerith brushed the boy's hair away from his eyes and rubbed his cheek affectionately. The boy seemed to relax under her touch and tried to get closer to the warmth. She smiled. Leon couldn't help but smile too. Aerith was right. You can't leave a defenseless kid out to get fed to heartless. Leon wasn't that cold hearted. He was just.. cautious. But the boy was no harm while unconscious.
"He seems fine now. He should have wake up by now. It's been days." She said worriedly. "I HOPE he wakes up." She mumbled. Leon sensed her sadness and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Don't start doubting him now. He will" He told her. Although he didn't exactly believe his own words. Aerith smiled and nodded.
"You're right Leon. He WILL wake up." She said determined.
"When he wakes up I have some questions for him." Leon said as he crossed his arms and tapped his foot. "I still don't trust him." He told Aerith. Aerith sighed and shook her head as she got up from her seat.
"Just don't scare the poor boy." Aerith said as she left the room. Leon started at the boy on the bed. Who was he? And how did he end up here? More importantly, WHY is he here and what did he want? Such questions made Leon start pacing again.
"Is he awake yet?" asked a voice. Leon shrugged.
"News travels to you fast doesn't it?" Leon asked as he faced the blonde. The blonde rolled his eyes.
"Why are we helping an organization member?" he asked as his eyes flicked over to the unconscious form on the bed. Leon shrugged.
"Aerith can't leave kids alone, you know that Cloud." Leon told Cloud. Cloud scoffed.
"Neither can you." He said frowning. Leon rolled his eyes.
"Watch it. I know deep inside you wouldn't either." Leon said. When Cloud didn't retort back Leon smirked. Looks like he won.
"But I wonder how he got here. He just appeared out of nowhere. I saw a flash of light when I was walking around. I went to investigate and found him."
Cloud looked at the boy weirdly.
"So he's part of the organization?" he asked. Leon shrugged.
"Well he IS wearing a organization cloak."
"True… but he is kinda weak looking." Leon shrugged.
"Maybe he's just a spy." Leon looked at the bed. "Or maybe this is where the phrase "Looks are decieving" comes into play. "
"So what do we do when he wakes up and you bombard him with questions?" Cloud asked the red head. Leon shrugged.
"I don't think Aerith will let him leave." A groan emitting from the bed caught their attention.
-Destiny Island-
Roxas and Axel sat on their chairs as they awaited the news their superior had for them. They spoke to each other.
"What do you think he has to say?" Roxas asked Axel. Axel just shrugged
"Probably something about something. I don't know. Maybe a mission for us all?" he guessed. Roxas shrugged and sat straight as the superior, Xemnas, cleared his throat, silencing everyone.
"Alright everyone. We have a new organization member joining us today. Could you please step out?" asked Xemnas directing his hand in a motion to come over. A clocked body came out seemingly out of nowhere and looked around quietly and shyly.
"Remove your cloak boy." The young boy did. He had a head full of messy short black locks with a single purple streak. He fiddled with the front of his shirt under the cloak, and looked around. Uneasy at the eyes around him.
Roxas knew how it felt but couldn't help but look at the new member. He felt a connection. When their eyes met he was certain the young male felt it too as their eyes met.
Sora woke up. That dream. Chiro was in it! Sora was sure that dream had a connection to his past with Roxas. No. he was certain that it was a fragment of their past.
What was that? He seemed to ask Roxas. Roxas stayed silent. Ever since that time Sora found out he could talk to Roxas in his head. But Roxas refused to say a lot, still grieving over Chiro.
After a few moments of silence Roxas spoke.
Sorry…You weren't suppose to see that. His way of saying just leave it alone. But Sora couldn't. He was now strangely involved with Chiro and wanted to know more of their past. Sora felt ashamed.
But I want to know. Please Roxas. I want to help you. Sora thought. Roxas stayed silent as if debating on telling Sora of not. Sora spoke again.
You can't help yourself without letting other's care. Sora heard Roxas sigh.
It was the first time we met.
Did anything happen at that time?
No. We were great friends.
Were? Roxas ignored that and Sora knew it. He decided not to say anything about it and play dumb.
What happened?
I don't want to talk about it.
But-
I don't want to talk about it now.
When?
When the time is right. And with that the topic was ignored by Roxas. Sora sighed and went back to sleep.
-Back in Hollow Bastion-
A groan emitting from the bed caught their attention. They looked towards the bed to see the boy stir and start to wake.
Chiro heard voices talking. [Who's there?] As he made himself open his eyes, Chiro groaned at how bright the lights were. He weakly put his hands up to block the light from his eyes. Too bright. [I've been in the darkness too long.] The light hurt.
Leon sensed that the light was disturbing the boy on the bed and made to turn off the big light while Cloud,also suddenly psychic, turned the bed light on. This seemed to please Chiro as he finally opened his eyes and let his eyes adjust to the small amount of light. When he looked around he flinched when he saw that he was't the only one in the room. Wait room?
Chiro sat up quickly regretting his action for the blood rushed thought his head. Chiro winced as his head hurt. Leon helped hold the kid in place so that he won't fall off the bed from the sudden movement.
"Woah there kid. You just woke up from a 4 day nap. Don't get up sp quickly." He said firmly. Sure he wanted questions but the kid was pushing himself too much. The kid stared at him with his big innocent eyes.
"What's your name kid?" Leon asked. Chiro looked at the bed.
"Chiro." He said in a small voice. Well at least Leon knew the kid wasn't a mute.
Chiro opened his mouth to say something but then clamped it shut. He looked away. Leon suspected this.
"Is there anything you want to tell us?" He said. He tried to keep authority in his voice while coming out gentle. Chiro didn't meet his eyes nor did he say anything. Then the door opened.
"I heard noise in here. Is anything- Oh!" Aerith exclaimed as she saw the boy had woken up. She rushed to his side.
"Are you alright?" she said affectionately as she reached up to check his forehead for any signs of a fever. Chiro, not use to anyone, besides Roxas, touching him flinched and shuffled away only to edge himself off the bed. Leon caught him before he fell.
"Kid be careful." He said cooly, regretting it somewhat when Chiro twitched. Chiro inched away from Leon's touch and back in the middle of the bed. He was uncomfortable with strangers growing up. He still was now. Having 3 pairs of eyes stare at him did not help. He looked down at the sheets.
"Are you okay?" Aerith asked in a nice voice. It was soothing to Chiro as she rubbed his back in a motherly fashion. When was the last time he was touched him this and felt safe? [Roxas…] Chiro's eyes narrowed at the thought of Roxas and his grip on the sheets tightened but he said nothing. Cloud got enough of the kid's silence.
"Hey kid don't give us the silent treatment they just saved you from certain death." He said coldly. Aerith frowned at Cloud. Leon shook his head at Cloud.
"Typical." Leon said.
"Cloud please! He's just a kid!" she scolded. Cloud scoffed.
"You saved him from dying on the streets. The least he can say is thankyou."
"You should have left me…" came a small voice. The three heads turns towards the boy on the bed.
"Did you say something?" Cloud asked the boy. The boy looked at his sheets.
"You should have left me to die out there." He said more firmly but till only above a whisper. Leon narrowed his eyes.
"Well we found you and saved you. You're lucky to be alive now Kid." Leon said. Chiro frowned.
"I already considered myself lucky when I died." He said. No one said anything. Aerith pat the boy on the back.
"What do you mean died?" she asked him. Chiro looked away.
"I don't know how I lived, but I remember thrusting the keyblade where my heart is suppose to be." The three looked at him in shock. Keyblade?
"Who's keyblade?" Cloud asked eyes narrowing. Chiro looked him in the eye for once.
"I was fighting 3 kids, then overcome with the sudden urge to end it all I took one of their keyblades and killed myself with it." He told them. Aerith looked at him sadly.
"Why would you do that?" she said softly. Life was to be treasured. Why did the boy wish to throw it away? Chiro opened his mouth.
"So I wouldn't have to see him again." He said to himself, but they all heard.
"Him? You mean Roxas?" Leon asked. When Chiro stiffened at the name Leon knew he hit the mark. Cloud looked at the boy.
"What do you mean where your heart is suppose to be. You're a nobody working with Organization X11 aren't you?" he asked eyes narrowing. Chiro looked at him angry.
"So what if I was?" he retorted. Leon furrowed his eyes. He was right. This kid was from the Organization.
"Just to tell you they're all dead." He informed the boy. The boy met his glaze.
"I could careless for them. That organization has no meaning to me."
"Then why did you attack Sora and the others?" Cloud said coldly. Chiro smirked.
"It was my way of saying goodbye." He said. Leon raised an eyebrow.
"Attack them and then try to kill yourself with one of their keyblade?" he asked. Chiro shook his head.
"I know I died. I was surrounded by darkness." He concluded. The three were confused by the boy's words.
"Then how are you alive in this room?" Aerith asked softly. Chiro shook his head.
"I don't know. This voice said that it wasn't my time to die and I saw a flash of light."
"What voice?" Leon asked. Chiro shrugged. Who's voice was it?
"I don't know." He said softly. He really didn't know.
"You probably weren't dead then. If you're still here." Cloud said rolling his eyes. He didn't have time for this. This was confusing his head. Aerith bit her lip.
"You can't be an organization member." She said softly. Chiro, Cloud and Leon turned to look at her as if she had two heads.
"What are you talking about? Look at his clothes." Leon informed her.
"He even admitted to being in the organization and to being a Nobody." Cloud said backing Leon up. Aerith shook her head.
"His heart beats. He has a pulse."
TBC.
Kitty: review please? It would make me so happy.
