Disclaimer: Like every Kingdom Hearts fan, I wish I owned it, but I don't. And I don't own the song "21 Guns".

21 Guns

Roxas walked down the dark street of The World That Never Was. He knew that he had no feelings, they were fake...

Do you know what's worth fighting for?

When it's not worth dying for?

Does it take your breath away and you feel like suffocating?

Thunder roared overhead. He looked up, as the rain came down.

Does the pain weigh out the pride?

And you look for a place to hide?

Did someone break your heart inside? You're in ruins.

He laughed humorlessly as the familar song ran through his head. He didn't have a heart... But he was in ruins. It matched him.

One, 21 guns", he sang without thinking. "Lay down your arms, give up the fight. One, 21 guns. Throw up your arms into the sky. You and I."

He thought about Namine. He "missed" her. It wasn't fair...

When you're at the end of the road.

And you lost all sense of control.

And your thoughts have taken their toll.

When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul.

Everything he felt was a lie.

Your faith walks on broken glass.

And the hangover doesn't pass.

Nothing's ever built to last

"I'm in ruins", he sang, adding his own words. "One, 21 guns. Lay down your arms, give up the fight. One, 21 guns. Throw up your arms into the sky. You and I..."

"Did you try to live on your own", he heard a voice behind him sing. "When you burned down the house and home? Did you stand too close to the fire, like a liar looking for forgiviness from a stone?"

Roxas turned and saw his best friend, Axel. His arms were crossed and he was leaning against a wall. He looked over at him. "Roxas, Roxas, Roxas...", said the Flurry of Dancing Flames. A small smirk crossed his face.

Roxas grinned back. "When it's time to live and let die. And you can't get another try. Something inside your heart has died. You're in ruins..."

"One, 21 guns," they sang together. "Lay down your arms, give up the fight. One, 21 guns. Throw your hands into the sky."

Roxas looked at his friend, smiling. He gave him a quick "man hug". The rain stopped. Axel handed him a bar of sea-salt ice cream, keeping one for himself. They walked down the street together, eating ice cream, talking about their next mission.

One, 21 guns. Lay do- your arm-, give up the fig-

One, 21 guns. Thr- up your hands int- the sky.

You and I-

He beamed inside as the words were slowly erased from his memory.

Heeeeeey! I know this chapter's short but I haven't heard this song in a while. And I couldn't really decide between Roxas or Riku... I picked Roxas cuz I thought that Riku could have a more depressing song, or one that'll annoy the hell outta him. Either one will work for me ^^

Thank you, heartless-lover12, for reviewing and giving me the idea for this song. You rock and you get to have some of my ice cream ^^ Come down to Texas and claim your prize! (Just kidding. You don't have to.)

One word for new readers: REVIEW! And I put that in all caps for a reason. I need more reviewers. Pleeease. I will get down on my knees and beg if I have to.

Give me more ideas for songs and for people singing those songs. Peace out y'all!
