Pitch black…
It was perfect for this day, so convenient. The rain pellets shot to the ground as I stare at the blank carcass, the red blood splattered all over the kitchen floor. Tears formed in my eyes and dropped silently to the ground. My dad was always so happy so cheerful, at least whenever I TRULY got to see him, but seeing him now, like this? In so much pain and guilt, it hurt me… it hurt me the most.
"You dumb ass…" I murmured as I picked up my father's armless, top half of a body up. His bloody stained my white bed shirt as I pulled him closer. I loved my dad, more than anything. It seemed now, that I should just DIE. I heard the sirens and the ambulances and police cars screech into the parking lot of my home. There was yelling and rushing coming from the door.
I dropped the body and scoffed. My tears subsided as I opened the door, revealing men in white suits carrying a flat bed. "Where is he?" One man roughly hissed.
"No use… he's already dead." I said in a monotone. The men ran past me as five police rushed right up to me along with a bunch of news reporters. I shrugged as they approached.
"Can you tell me what happened?" A woman asked holding up a mic at my face. A camera was hidden behind the crowd as I sighed at their ignorance. "Who murdered your dad? Are you OK?" "Tell us!" "We need to know kid…" "C'mon!" The voices rang back and forth. The questions hurt me as I backed up only to be cornered by more. I just couldn't take it…
"SHUT UP!" I yelled. Everyone stopped and stared at me. Why, why? "Nani? N-nani?" I mouthed my thoughts. The whole crowd looked at me as I broke down and cried. "Why don't you all just go away?" I snapped rudely.
"YEAH, BITCHES!" I heard a loud and rough feminine voice yell. I watched as a few of the crowed members were pushed aside as a blonde haired girl in a kimono stormed up to me. "Mind telling me, WHY PEOPLE ARE RUSHING TO YOUR HOUSE AT 1:00 IN THE DAMN FUCKING MORNING YELLING ON TV THAT SOMEONE WAS MURDERED!" She was so stupid sometimes… she just answered her own question. Her long blonde hair was put up into a bun, two chopsticks creating an 'x' in her hair, she wore a blue kimono with a flower decoration sewed on and light blue ribbons tied across her waist matching her deep blue eyes.
"Naminé, may I ask WHY you are wearing this stuff?" I saw her blush then giggle, but that subsided pretty quickly. "STOP CHANGING THE DAMN SUBJECT YOU BASTARD! TELL ME WHATS GOING ON!"
The crowd started retreating due to Naminé's burst of anger. Naminé was NEVER the one to wake up in the middle of the night, or early in the morning. I laughed a bit then saddened again. She gave me a curious eye and I shuttered a bit. "What happened, Roxas?" She asked calmly. I turned away from her.
"No-nothing, nothing you need to know…" I sighed while re-entering my house. To my discomfort, she followed me in.
"Roxas, did you forget that we were best friends? C'mon! You--- you have to help me here… tell me what's wrong!" She begged from behind me. I rolled my eyes as I heard her stumble forward trying to catch up. I truly did wonder why girls wear those slippers, or so more walk in them. I ignored her rants and headed for the bloody kitchen. I just glanced back once to see her kicking off her slippers and running towards me. "Roxas!" She begged. I pointed forward to the dead body that the men in white where putting on a white flat bed and studying. I heard her gasp. "Ro- Roxas I-I'm so sorry! I-I never thought--- and---" She trailed off and looked downward guiltily. I turned around and placed my hand on her frail shoulder.
"Don't worry, it--- it isn't your---" I saw tears dripped wildly from her face. She looked back up at me then within a swift second hugged me. "eh…?"
"This is so horrid! Why? Why?" She kept repeating why and sobbing into my chest. I sighed as she looked back up at me. "Even though I've barley met your father…" she choked" I'm sure he was a nice man…" I stared at her in disbelief. "I'm sorry."
"Naminé, stop it. It isn't your fault… and… just stop it…" She pulled away from me and looked again at the armless and legless man on the white bed. A police man idly walked up to me holding a tiny notebook and a pen. He had three badges on his blue coat and his hat was put on sideways covering his short auburn hair. "Can you tell me exactly what happened to you, who were these murderers, how did they get away?"
Naminé stopped sobbing immediately examined the police and scoffed something about 'stupid questions' and 'bastards' quietly to herself. I giggled in a 'boyish' way then turned to the police. "Well, I woke up after hearing a gun shot so I put my ear to the door and---" I continued explaining while I guess he was jotting the whole story down on his notebook.
"Men in black, eh? We've gotten seven murders from them so far…" The police said after stuffing his notes and pen into his pocket. I looked at the man curiously. "Seven? Why isn't it on the news?" I asked him he sighed at me.
"It was gonna be, till you scared all of the news people off…" I saw Naminé scratch the back of her head sheepishly. The police man saw the doctors in white approaching so he walked off. The bed was hauled past by me and Naminé. In it was my father. Dead. Afterwards a doctor walked up to me and sighed. "I-I'm sorry…" I smiled at him.
"S'ok…" I said. I really didn't feel like smiling but I just didn't need anyone worrying about me. The man nodded and left me and Naminé standing there.
"Hey, are you sure you're OK?" Naminé asked me. I turned to her and pat her back.
"Course, now go home before Seifer finds out you hugged me…" She punched me in the arm and laughed playfully.
"MUU! OK, fine but I'll be back…" She smirked at me and left with a "Toodle-doo Roxy-kun!" I watched her as she put her sandals back on and walked away disappearing into the rainy night. The rain fell to the ground, flooding the streets as she left. Thunder crashed a boom as the rain fell, lightning hit as fast as the speed of light. The Dark of the night matched on to this and created a true nightmare when you're not asleep. I felt tears fall out of my eyes as I stared at the men putting my father into the car.
I felt arms wrap around my waist and a head lay upon my messy dirty blonde hair. Wait a min--- "Hey, are you OK?" I pulled away and turned around breathing fast and uncontrollably. There, standing was Axel, red hair spiked backwards and his emerald eyes staring down at me. But this time he put on a face painting, upside down tear drops below each eye of forest green orbs.
I twitched then snapped, "Who invited you!" He walked closer to me and laughed. He traced his hands over my face and smirked. He lowered his face so his nose was just inches from mine; I felt his red hot breath on my face.
"I just saw you on the news…" He said pulling me closer. "and decided to help…" I quickly pulled away and glared at him.
"Go away!" I yelled. He pulled me into a hug and smiled.
"And you're not sad about your father's death?"
"I---I am… but… It pisses me off when you're around!" I snapped. He let me go and gave me sad eyes. I could tell he was hurt by what I just said.
"…" I heard him sigh. "I'm sorry…" He apologized as he began to walk off. I just stood there and stared as he left into the rain just like Naminé… but… in a more depressed manner. He was slumping forward, hands stuffed into his coat pocket… and I was standing here letting the rain hit me down, bloody white shirt and grey shorts clinging onto my legs. To my surprise I felt a tear run down my face. "rrrr…. " I snapped at myself while turning my back on the area he disappeared to. My mind was made up, and probably his too, our meeting was just a bunch of bullshit.
I ran over to the ambulance and they warned me to stay here and wait. Though I thought, what are they doing? He's DEAD there is NO way you can revive him. But I nodded to them anyways. The ambulance vehicle disappeared around a corner leaving me here… I sighed then head back to my house only to find a man in a black cloak messing inside. "Hey you!" I yelled. He jumped upwards and squealed a bit.
"Heh heh!" He laughed nervously. I gave him a death glare… he laughed nervously again then pushed past me and out the house, quickly I grabbed an umbrella and tripped him. He squeaked then scurried away again. I was about to call him back when I noticed he dropped something. It was a picture.
There were twelve people… all had their cloak hoods pulled over their heads so you couldn't see their faces. Immediately I noticed the two that murdered my father were there. I scowled, they we're both to the left of the picture… holding hands? I looked closer and yes indeed they we're holding hands. I gasped then looked at the others, indeed each had their hands attached to someone, except for two. One was on the right corner playing with cards and the other was leaning on a brick wall next to him. His body shape looked faintly familiar. He was skinnier than the rest of them and was blankly staring at the sky. I pondered at the picture a bit more then put it into my pocket. I looked at my house one more time before looking to the ground and turning around.
"Roxas!" A familiar voice called to me. I winced then looked up to see four figures approaching. One had gravity defying brown hair and was running towards me. Another was just about a half a foot taller and had long silver hair, he casually walked following the hyper active one. The two other figures behind them where both girls, the first one I noticed as Naminé (the kimono is kinda obvious). The second one had long auburn hair and a school uniform on.
The brown haired one finally got to approaching me and jumped a hug on me pinning me to the water covered ground. I looked at him as he looked me straight in the eye. Blue orbs of the exact same color clashed. "S-Sora…?"
Sora smiled sweetly then got up helping me up too. "Hey, cuz'…" His expression immediately saddened. "S-so uh, where is… he?" My smile I never noticed that crawled on my face subsided. I didn't answer as the other three finally caught up.
I looked at Naminé and the other two. Naminé smirked at me. "So… do you remember these two?" Yes, Naminé lived on the islands with me, and surprisingly, we moved together. Anyways, I studied the two 'other people' curiously. The silver haired one gave me a smirk and the auburn haired one gave ma a cute plead. "C'mon Roxas! You know you remember me!" She begged.
I stared for a while then they started changing… the silver haired one got a bit shorter and his hair became shoulder length. Then it hit me hard, Riku! I continued pondering on the other Girl. She grew a bit shorter too. Her auburn hair got much, much shorter and her clothes changed into a short shirt showing her belly button and a purple skort. The name rushed to my head, Kairi! They gave me pleading eyes (Riku only hiding it behind his smirk) as I stared at them. I tapped my chin with an index finger then said "Yeah… Don't ring a bell, at all…" I smirked.
Kairi slapped me and Riku grabbed my head and gave me a rough noogie. "OK, OK, fine, how are you guys doing, Riku, Kairi?" Riku let go of me and just smirked.
"Fine…" Riku said punching me playfully. Sora laughed at me as I scratched my rain dripped hair. My mind re-pondered to the men in black. I stared at the ground as everyone else were laughing in their little reunion.
He huffed out in one last breath. "Th-Those men in black… they killed your mother… please… Roxas… I want you--- to deliver my vengeance!"
"I will, I will…" I whispered to myself. "Hey, uh, guys… can we take a walk around?" I asked my friends. Sora nodded curiously while everyone else just simply said 'yes' in their own little way.
I nodded back then headed somewhere in this rainy night. I felt the others follow close behind me, except for Sora, who easily kept up beside me. "Something wrong?" He asked me. I shook my head then fixed my head on the pavement of the ground. "Um… Gomen… Roxas…. You're father and all…" I heard him sigh. I smiled up at him.
"S'ok… It's not YOUR fault…" My voice snarled at the end as I added silently (it's someone else's…) My eyes pondered forward again, heak I didn't even remember where I was going. Then there was a faint yell in the distance. The voice sounded so… familiar.
"Wonder who that was…" Sora said. I rushed forward as I heard him call from behind me. "Matte, Roxas!" I ignored his calls and dashed straight forward. The darkness started clearing up as I approached the man who yelled. On the ground laid a man, yes… but not just any man…
"Axel…?" I shook him. He was knocked out completely. I heard my friend's footsteps as they approached us.
"Hey, Roxas… what's…" Everyone looked down at the unconscious man.
"This---this was my fault." I cried. I laid my head down on his chest.
"R-Roxas…?" I heard my cousin say. Through the words my brother said I heard a heart beat. Immediately I jumped up and tried pulling Axel up. "Guys, help! We have to get him back home! He's alive!" They looked at me weirdly, then Riku easily picked him up and threw him over his shoulder.
"Lead the way…" He said. I looked at him in fright. They grew so much since the last time I saw them… I looked at Sora who was giggling at Riku's side… hmm… I wonder…
TBC…
