Hello everyone, and welcome to chapter three...Err...Two!
Or something like that.
Anyway, just before I start, I'd like to thank the three of you who reviewed! They are as follows~
I want pie (you know who you are XD),
Cori shadowfang and Meryypoptartslover.
Thank you all for reviewing, it means a lot to me!
And with that, ON WITH THE SHOW!
Xion and I walked through the dark portal and came out of it in twilight town. This was the world I knew the most about so far, because it is the one I had been to most often. I also had my first mission here, with Axel. It was a good thing he was there, or I would have gotten lost in those tunnels long before I completed my mission.
I glanced up at the sun- the glowing ball of fire was lazily sitting in the sky, never rising, never setting. The town was forever trapped in twilight- hence its name.
I looked down and brought out the folder again, opening it up to see our mission requirements.
'So what is it that we have to defeat again? A darkside? Great... that sounds powerful...'
Putting the folder away, I sighed and started to walk towards the sandlot to start searching for this thing.
"Roxas."
Xion's voice stopped me. I turned around and looked at her.
"Yeah?" I asked.
She paused for a moment, then did something that surprised me.
She took of her hood.
Underneath was jet-black hair that went down to just below her chin- it was parted to the side so that some of it dangled in between her eyes. And her eyes! They were like endless cerulean crystals that seemed so perfect on her delicate face- I couldn't tear my eyes away. She then looked up and we locked eyes for a moment, but for me it lasted what seemed like an eternity.
Xion cleared her throat, which jolted me out of the trance that I was in, and back into the real world.
"Good luck out there today."
"y-yeah." I stuttered and looked away, embarrassed. Wait? Embarrassed? Wasn't that an emotion? Oh well, that doesn't matter- I have to put thoughts of this aside for now and think about them later; we have a mission to complete.
Seemingly satisfied with my answer, she turned around and started to walk towards the sandlot. I stared at her for a few seconds, and then hurried to catch up.
-Till November-
40 minutes later, we had almost gone in a full circle, and were now standing at the bottom of Station Heights. We had looked almost everywhere; including the Usual Spot, and in the woods. We had encountered a few heartless along the way, and I'd suggested to Xion that we take a quick break, and she almost instantly agreed.
We leaned against the side of the brick wall, sipping bottles of water for a while to cool down and catch our breaths, while admiring the beautiful sunset/rise. (1) Xion broke the silence by asking me a question.
"So," she said, taking another sip of her water before continuing, "how long have we been looking for this thing again?"
"About 40" I sighed, taking the last sip of my own water, and then tossed the empty bottle into a nearby trash can.
"Really? It feels like it's been forever!" now finished her water, she attempted to throw her bottle into the same trash can, but missed.
"Darn, I thought I had it! She started to walk towards the trash can to pick up her bottle, but I stopped her midway.
"Don't worry, I got it." I went and picked up the bottle for her, earning a confused look from Xion.
"What was that for?" she questioned, crossing her delicate arms.
"Nothing" I said, giving her one of my signature toothy smiles. "Just being a good citizen."
She narrowed her eyes then smiled. "Okay then, Mr. Good citizen, where do we look next?"
My smile faded and I frowned. "Well, there is only one place left to look and that is the Station Plaza at the top of this hill."
"Another one! Great..." she groaned, then turned around and started to walk up the incline.
I caught up and walked alongside her. "I thought you just said you didn't like hills?"
"Well we have to get them over with sometime! And besides," she said, now starting to pant. "If the Station Plaza is the only place left to look, our target has to be up there!"
"You do have a point there."
"Damb right I have a point there! That heartless better is stinking' worth it for all this shit!" she shouted, now almost speed walking towards the Station Plaza.
I watched her walk ahead of me a bit. 'Note to self,' I thought, stifling a cringe. 'Do not get on her bad side.' Sighing, I ran to catch up with her. Again.
-Till November-
A now enraged Xion was running around the Station Plaza shouting: "where the hell is that thing?"
"Uh, Xion?" I called, trying to get her attention.
"WHAT?" she shouted, turning towards me and giving me a dirty look.
"I think you should be a little quieter..."
"QUIETER?" she shouted, running up to me, grabbing me by the collar and looking me in the eyes. "I can be as stinking loud as I want thank you!"
Those perfect cerulean orbs were sucking me in again, and I unintentionally blurted out the first thing that came to mind.
"Your eyes are beautiful..."
"Huh?" she squeaked, letting go of my coat. Xion was clearly surprised by my over the top statement.
Before she could respond, I heard a noise behind us, and turning around I saw the biggest heartless I've ever seen. Ever.
"What the hell it THAT?" I screamed, summoning my kingdom key keyblade.
"I take it that's our target..." Xion said with a gulp, summoning her own keyblade.
"I hope you are ready for this!" I shouted, charging towards it.
"Like hell I am!" she said following suit. "Let's kick some ass!"
-Till November-
The darkside had a variety of moves, and we had suffered a good chunk of damage, but with a few well-placed blocks and hits to the creatures head, it was close to defeat.
I dodged another energy ball, and then blocked the next one, sending it spiralling back to our attacker.
Unfortunately for me, this only made him mad.
Rearing a huge black fist, it knocked my keyblade out of my hands and across the plaza before I even had time to block.
"Shit!" I yelled, frantically looking around the plaza for my keyblade. It was on the steps a good 10 feet away.
I started to sprint towards it, but tripped half way there. I was about to get up when Xion screamed: "Roxas look out!"
I only had time to look around and see a huge black fist slam strait into my head.
I blacked out instantly.
"Roxas look out!" Xion screamed desperately, trying to get his attention. However, it was already too late, and he didn't have time to react. The darkside's fist struck him head-on, shooting him towards the clock tower and he slammed into it, causing the wall behind to crack slightly. He seemed to fall in slow motion, falling, falling forever. She flinched as he hit the ground with a sickening thud.
"ROXAS!" she screamed as a tear rolled down her face. "n-no, he can't be..." she started to sob.
One of the darkside's little shadows struck her in the leg, and with a quick and aggressive swing of her keyblade, it exploded violently into black smoke.
She turned and gave the darkside a furious look that would put even Larxene to shame.
Quickly wiping her tears away, she held her keyblade in a battle- ready pose and snarled.
"It's on now bitch."
Yes, I know you can't see the sun from the bottom of the hill. Imagine for me will you?
Anyway, here is a bit of a cliffhanger for you so that makes it more interesting, and if you didn't find it interesting, don't worry! This is going to get better I promise!
"Okay then Xion, since rox is out of commission this week, why don't you say the disclaimer?"
"Right then. Kay, the author does not own me, Roxas, or kingdom hearts as a whole."
"Thank you Xion."
"AND REVIEW!"
