A/N: I have to think of more ideas if I'm actually going to continue but here's some more to the story. Axel and Xion are going to have some drama if I do continue and that might be interesting. Review and give me some ideas if you like it. I own nothing but the storyline. Enjoy.


"Xion? Come on please wake up. I don't want to lose you again." Xion stirred in her sleep. She rolled over and opened her eyes slowly. Xion couldn't help but smile when her gaze met Axel's.

"Hey." Xion greeted still sounding tired. Axel couldn't stop the smile from forming on his lips.

"Hey sleepy head. How are you feeling?" Axel asked sitting back relieved in his chair. Xion sat up and noticed she was in Axel's bed in the Castle That Never Was. "I feel a little better. I still don't know how I got here though." Xion shook her head and sighed. When she looked up she was surprise to see the look on Axel's face. He looked so guilty and almost a little sad. "What?" She asked staring at him surprised.

"Are you…When we fought…last time…" Axel looked up at her searching her eyes. "Are you mad at me?" He blurted out suddenly. Xion blinked and leaned back away from him even more surprised. She opened her mouth to answer but just didn't know how. "Axel…no." Axel looked up. "Of course not. I'm the one that should be apologizing." She looked at him and he was confused when he saw her angry expression. "But I…" Xion stopped Axel's protest with a glare and a harsh sigh. "Don't even think about it! I left and it ruined everything. Roxas is gone now and I've come back to find that I disappeared for nothing, absolutely nothing. Stop blaming yourself and just please try to forgive me." Xion's voice was a little too loud and she was starting to cry.

"I forgive you." Axel replied standing from the chair and moving to the bed to sit by her. He felt all his frustrations towards the girl deflate when he saw the tears streaming down her face. She turned into his chest and tried to stop crying while he held her. She didn't cry long and afterwards she just sat with him in silence. They were interrupted by a knock at the door that caused both of them to freeze. "Wait here." Axel whispered into her ear before standing and walking to the door. He opened it cautiously and stood in the doorway so whoever it was couldn't see past him into the room.

Xion jumped when she heard Saix's voice. "The Superior wishes to speak with everyone." Saix stated sternly before turning to leave. Axel held his breath waiting for the man to turn the corner but before Saix was out of view he turned back to Axel. "And the Superior wishes for you to bring number fourteen as well." He smiled cruelly and disappeared around the corner.

"Damn." Axel cursed and let the door swing open as he turned back into the room. Xion sat on his bed and smiled at him encouragingly when he turned to her. "It will be alright. I'm sure of it." Xion promised. She stood and walked to the door where he stood. He glared at nothing in particular as he followed her to the meeting room.


Axel couldn't help but growl as each member sat in their seats calling to Xion. "Hey look whose back? What have you been up to poppet?" Xigbar called mockingly. "Did you enjoy your side hopping youngling?" Xaldin scoffed. "It seems she couldn't handle the risk of the gamble." Luxord called. Xion sat in silence ignoring them and simply watching her hands. Axel gripped the arm of his chair and prepared to stand and attack one of the men but the appearance of Xemnas stopped him.

"Calm my brethren. Xion's return is a gift to us. We have our keyblade wielder and if she is willing to pledge her allegiance to us we must accept her with open arms." Axel watched Xemnas carefully and almost wished Xion would deny him. He turned with everyone else waiting for Xion's answer.

"I will if you'll have me, Superior." Xion replied. Axel wished he could spit in disgust. Xemnas simply nodded. "You will stand as our thirteenth member. You are all dismissed." Xemnas declared giving everyone a warning glance. Everyone grudgingly disbanded and Axel sat frozen in his seat staring at Xion. She in turn was staring at the spot Xemnas had last appeared.

"But Roxas is…" Xion whispered. Axel slammed his fist on the arm of his chair causing Xion to jump in her seat.

"They can't just replace him!" He shouted forgetting to acknowledge Xion. She gave Axel a pleading look.

"I'm sorry Axel." She whispered cringing at his harshness towards her.

He turned on her sharply. "How can you just sit there when he wants you to replace Roxas? He's trying to erase him. How can you do that?" Axel demanded with another slam of his fist. "I'm not!" She shouted back at him.

Axel glared at her furiously. "Are you even going to fight this?" He asked straining to keep his temper under control. She looked down at her hands. "How can I? What am I suppose to do?" She whispered almost hoping he hadn't heard her. "You're not Roxas!" He stated viciously not holding back the angry growl that escaped his lips. Xion felt hot tears come to her eyes. Axel turned on her so quickly that she just couldn't handle the stinging betrayal of her only friend. He wasn't even fazed when he saw her hurt expression. He was too focused on the argument at hand

"It's just a number." She replied lamely, hoping to calm him before he pushed her over the edge. "But it's not yours." He growled back at her. Xion didn't know what to say. She wasn't going to be able to convince Xemnas to change her number and she knew that. What she didn't know was why Axel was reacting this way and why it made her insides hurt the way they were now. It just didn't seem fair to her.

She left in a portal quickly, appearing in her old room instead of Roxas's. Axel was left sitting there fuming over the incident while Xion went to bed and cried herself to sleep.


A/N: Um...I'm not sure how I feel about this. If you have any ideas or suggestions then feel free to tell me. I kinda want to bring back the other members from Castle Oblivion if I continue. Whatever, if you like it yay, I'll see what I can do to update.
