Summary: Roxas merges back with Sora; Axel doesn't like that. So he decides to act, and now the destiny of one Keyblade Master changes. // "This isn't good," Mickey mumbled before shaking his head. // AU // Yaoi // AkuSor/AkuRoku // Mild Lang. //

Used
Well...This Isn't Good

Donald was the first to wake, the pod he was in snapping open at almost the exact same time his eyes snapped open. With a wide yawn he jumped down and turned, spotting Goofy still asleep within the next pod.

"Goofy!" Donald yelled. "Wake up! GOOFY!"

With a hiss and a snap the pod opened and Goofy tiredly made his way out, yawning.

"Gwarsh Donald, no need to yell," Goofy said.

"Yeah, yeah," Donald mumbled, tapping his foot impatiently. "Where's Sora?" he asked after a minute.

"Dunno," Goofy replied. "Maybe we should look around?"

"Sure," Donald agreed and they started off.

It took fifteen minutes before the two finally gave up.

"He's not here," Donald growled.

"Well maybe he woke up before us an--" Goofy started but Donald shook his head.

"No!" Donald snapped, paused, and then amended, "Alright, maybe he did. But it'd be really irresponsible of him!"

"Why?" Goofy frowned. "It's not like he ran away or somethin'."

Donald sighed, shook his head, before saying, "C'mon Goofy; let's go look around town. Maybe Sora's there."


"Sora! Sora!" Donald and Goofy were calling. There had been no sign of Sora this entire time. They'd even enlisted the help of three teenagers, Hayner, Pence, and Olette.

"Dude, I don't think your friend is here," Pence said after they'd checked by the sandlot for the fifth time.

"He has to be!" Donald snapped. "Sora wouldn't run off without us!"

"With the way you're yelling I wouldn't be so sure," Hayner mumbled.

"What was that?!"

"Hayner!" Olette reprimanded.

"Calm down Donald; maybe Pence's right!" Goofy stated, placing a restraining hand on Donald's shoulder. "Sora coulda wandered off."

"He's not that stupid!" Donald counteracted.

"Gwarsh Donald, we've looked everywhere!" Goofy sighed. "He's not here!"

"Grr!"

"Look, I'm sorry about your friend, alright?" Hayner interrupted. "He's obviously not in town. Maybe he's at the beach or something."

"That's right!" Olette grinned, slamming a fist into her palm. "Maybe your friend went to the beach! It's the last day of break after all."

"Yeah!" Pence inputted. "Why don't you head to the station? There should be a train heading there sometime soon."

"Hmph." Donald turned and stalked off in the direction of the station, arms crossed.

"Thanks guys," Goofy said, and waved in parting before racing after Donald. "Donald! Wait up!"


Mickey watched from the shadows as his friends arrived at the station, a visible frown crossing his face.

'Where's Sora?' he thought, staying in the shadows for another five minutes, thinking that maybe the brunette was lagging behind.

When Sora didn't show Mickey decided to question Donald and Goofy on the matter. Surely they knew where Sora was.


"Your majesty!" Donald cried, eyes lighting up as Mickey jumped down in front of him and Goofy.

"Your highness!"

"Shh!" Mickey hissed, shaking his head. "Not now, guys." Donald and Goofy silenced. "Where's Sora?" Mickey asked, once he was sure he had the two's attention.

"He's missing," Donald growled.

"We were told me mighta went to the beach, hyuk," Goofy said.

Mickey frowned and said, "Impossible. He was in the basement asleep."

"No one was there besides us!" Donald stated.

"Are you sure?" Mickey pressed. "He wasn't in the basement? At all? You checked everywhere?"

"We sure did!" Goofy nodded.

"This isn't good," Mickey mumbled before shaking his head. "Well you'll have to go looking for Sora. Someone must've taken him while he was asleep."

"Taken him?!" Donald and Goofy cried.

"It's the only explanation," Mickey stated. "Take the train and go to Master Yen Sid. He'll help brief you on the current situation and maybe have an idea as to who took Sora. I have my own guesses but...I'd have to check. Now go!"

"Yes sir!"


Axel stepped back into the flat with a sigh, running his hand through his spiked hair in slight annoyance.

"Damn women," he muttered under his breath, walking into the living room. Sora was sitting on the couch staring at a book Axel had tossed at him before he left in boredom.

"Oi! Here!" Axel called, tossing the bag at Sora. The brunette caught it in surprise. "Clothes," Axel said simply.

"T-Thanks..." Sora mumbled.

"You can change through there," Axel pointed to a door. "That's the guest room. You'll be staying there as well until you're better."

Sora nodded his head and shakily got to his feet.

"Feel free to use the walls until you're more steady," Axel told him before turning around towards the kitchen, mumbling, "I need another beer. Damn women," under his breath.

Sora just blinked at Axel's back before shrugging and unsteadily making his way towards the door the red head had indicated earlier. When he entered the room he wasn't all that surprised to see it done in the same colors as the living room. Shrugging Sora shut the door behind him and moved over towards the bed; he overturned the bag upon the dark sheets and stared at all the clothes there.

"He didn't have to get this much..." the teen mumbled before shaking his head. "I'll pay him back."

With that in mind Sora began to pick out from the pile what he wanted to wear.

Of course he didn't expect another red head to slide open the window and jump down into the room just as he was about to pull on his boxers.

Shocked, Sora did what most people would do in that situation.

He let out a yell of surprise.


Axel had just grabbed a beer from the fridge when he heard a yell come from the guest room. Cursing he dropped the can and ran across the kitchen and living room, shoving open the door and promptly freezing at the sight of a familiar figure waving his hands frantically in an 'I come in peace!' gesture.

"What. The. Fuck?" Axel said and the man promptly froze, turned, and grinned.

"Bro!"

"Reno?"

"Who else?" Reno asked, moving to sling an arm around Axel's shoulder.

Axel punched Reno in the face in response.

"That's for sneaking into the guest bedroom," Axel growled as Reno held his nose.

"You didn't have to hit so hard, yo!" Reno mumbled. "Ouch."

"A--" Sora started but Axel interrupted.

"Reno, living room," Axel snapped before turning to Sora. "Sora, sorry. I'll...leave you to get dressed."

Axel turned on heel, grabbing Reno's ponytail as he did so and dragging the older man out of the room.

"Ow! Damn it Ale let go! That fuckin' hurts man! OW!"

"SHUT UP!"

The guest room door slid shut, leaving Sora to stare at it in shock.


"Where have you been, bro?" Reno asked after Axel shoved him into the couch, went back and grabbed his previous dropped beer, and sat down on a chair nearby.

"Around," Axel replied with a scowl.

"Well Tseng wants ta see ya, yo," Reno shrugged. "Laney said she saw ya in the store."

"Blonde bitch," Axel grumbled under his breath at the mention of Elena before saying, "Don't you mean the crazy blonde wants to see me?"

"Err...I don't think Rufus would like ta here ya call him that, yo," Reno mumbled.

"Reno, I fuckin' don't care," Axel said, gritting his teeth. "Hell, I would be happy not to see your face!"

"Oi! Is that any way to speak to the person who practically raised you after ma died giving birth?!" Reno demanded.

"You're the one who named me after your favorite damn drink!" Axel growled.

"What? Ale's a perfectly good name!" Reno defended.

"Sure it is," Axel mumbled.

"So where ya been?"

"Around."

"Damn it Ale just answer the fuckin' question, yo!"

"I've been busy!"

"That don't matter to Rufus! 'Specially not after ya up and disappeared, yo! And who's the kid?"

"Someone I'm taking care of!"

"You never took care of nobody before."

"Reno, leave!" Axel snapped.

"Can't! I got orders!" Reno practically sang.

"GET OUT OF MY FUCKING FLAT BEFORE I LIGHT YOUR GODDAMN HAIR ON FIRE!!!!"

"Shit! Alright! I'm leaving! Don't blame me when Tseng comes by though, yo!"

"GET OUT!!!!"

"Bye lil' bro!"

"FUCK YOU!"

"Axel...?"

Axel turned his green eyes towards Sora and sighed. Now how was he going to explain this...?


end chapter.

ONTO THE AUTHORS NOTE!

I know this chapter doesn't really make any sense, and trust me I don't really know how to explain it either, however chapter three will hopefully clear up the mud that this chapter has created. Now I'd like to go on with this note.

First off I want to thank all my reviewers...all four of my reviewers. You have increased my lifespan a bit.

Those who didn't review...those three of you who alerted yet didn't review...you have decreased my lifespan a bit.

Think on that.

So, I would like to thank my lovely challenger Inumaru12. I loved your review and am glad to find another fanatic for this pairing. I would like to thank Hikari Kaiya for the nice praise and Jayrin Paige. Yes, AkuSor is uncommon; I wish it were loved more.

The final addressing I have for this chapter is to my most recent reviewer. Mizukithepanda.

First off, unique name and thank you for the nice start at the review.

Second off, I know about everything you said, and frankly I dislike the way you said it.

By saying "I feel I should warn you..." you imply that I don't know shit about Kingdom Hearts II. I do know about Kingdom Hearts II. I own the fucking game. I've played the fucking game. In fact my AkuSor obsession GREW from the fact that I just passed the point where Axel dies and have now reached Never Was.

So I know Axel's mannerisms on using "Got it memorized" and I know Sora's quite a bit naive, slow, slightly gullible, and curious but not to the extent that it's damning for his character. I know Sora is more observant than a lot of people give him credit for, that's he's smarter than most people say, however I'd like to point something out.

The summary says this is AU meaning everything you know everything you believe about Kingdom Hearts II...you can shove it out the window. Nothing will be exactly like the game.

This doesn't mean that Sora's a dumb little shit. Quite the opposite in fact; he's very observant otherwise this fanfic wouldn't work with the directions Inumaru12 had given. I would like to say though that Sora had been sleeping for one year and that he just woke up.

The key words there: he just woke up meaning his mental faculties aren't going to be at 100 percent right now.

Also, while Axel was spouting lies they weren't complete lies either.

Axel did know Naminé; Naminé is considered a witch; Naminé did put Sora and co to sleep; Naminé did disappear; Axel doesn't know Donald and Goofy--he knows of them but he doesn't know them--and Axel did learn where Sora was sleeping through a "friend"

Our favorite fiery Nobody just left out a lot of details, however he kept the key information.

Now, when Sora's more awake, and not shaking off the effects of sleeping for one year (which I must say it's odd that Sora wasn't feeling anything like muscle atrophy from his year long sleep however I suppose the pod he was in counteracted that) he may pick up on the lack of details Axel seems to dish out.

There's a "he may pick up" there. So it's not 100 percent that he'll realize Axel's lying right off the bat. He'll notice things, but it won't be glaringly obvious to Sora like it shall be to us writers/readers because we saw Axel before Sora did, we know Axel unlike Sora who has forgotten ever meeting Axel since Sora has forgotten Castle Oblivion.

Now, I know this might seem a tad harsh response to your review, however the way you worded the main body of your review tee'd me off. A lot. It seemed very combative to me, and I would've sent you a private response however you weren't signed in, or don't have a FFN account and didn't leave an e-mail so a chance at a more personal and less public response was cut off.

Thank you though for the review, I did enjoy the beginning and end of it, even though the middle sections annoyed me.

That's all I believe I have to say for this chapter. Review please, it increased the author's lifespan.

For every reader who doesn't review an author loses lifespan.
