Warning: Violence... I guess? Yeah. Violence.
His hands gripped the keyblade, his body shaking from exhaustion. His head rolled up, and with the crack of his neck, his shadowed face was visible. The man stopped laughing. His eyes became wary, as he scrutinized Roxas.
Roxas's mind was empty. Except for one thought. This keyblade isn't mine.
And then he moved. It was as if someone has pushed the fast forward button. One moment, his motionless body had stood there, his arms hanging limply, keyblade in one hand, the other hand loosely clenched into a fist. The next moment he moved.
With a shriek of rage, he swung the-keyblade-that-was-not-his toward his attacker. Surpised, but not unprepared, the man swung up his weapon. It appeared as thought the darkness itself had come together to forge itself as a weapon. One momentt it appeared as a sword, the next, it reformed to be a scythe. Roxas swung again, his keyblade slahing through thin air. The darkness broke into a mist, and then reformed. The man was no where to be seen.
"Not in the best of shape, Roxas?" his harsh breath whispered into Roxas's ear, and the blonde swirled. Without stopping, he slashed and slashed, missing each time. Blood trickled down his cheek from a cut, dripping crimson into his mouth. A single drop hit his tongue. As if someone had flicked a switch, his the tension in his body vanished. His labored breath evened out. His mouth quirked itself into a manic grin, and his eyes lit up with a psychotic gleam.
"You want to play, ?" he whispered, darting forward. His hand shot out, lighting quick, piercing the man's chest with his keyblade. Shock barely registered on the man's face before his features slackened and his heart's pulsing ended. Roxas pulled the blade from his chest, dripping blood. It vanished from his hands, and for the second time in days, Roxas had killed someone.
Without looking back, he left the alley. And his sanity.
A/N- Okay, so my chapters are still pretty short. I hope to make them longer. That's my goal for the next chapter. Reviews would also be nice. Yeah, there isn't any AkuRoku yet, but I hope to guide Roxas on his journey to finding the unknown as of yet Axel.
