Disclaimer: Nope, I don't own Kingdom Hearts. I only own the things that are rightfully mine. Like Kaysie (I'm thinking of putting DJ in here… If you don't know him, he's in my other ficcy 'Hoping To Happen Again' but that's on hiatus) and my plot notebook.

A/n: Yay! Thanks for the reviews guys! Love you to bits! Thanks a lot to angelofsweetness, xXRoxasGoesQuackXx, junebug21946, IcyPirateChic, weixuan18, Kairi and Cloud and Typical Sundays for the reviews!!! –Smile smile- I'm glad you liked it. Hehe… Oh yeah, I was checking around the internet and found out that Axel's eighteen. I'm not sure (Neither is the site I checked out) but still! If he's not 18, I'm gonna make him 18. Now that that's over with, on with the show!!!

A fifteen-year old red head focused her two beautiful blue orbs at a person in front of her. He was a handsome eighteen-year old with long fiery red hair and soft deep green eyes. He was wearing some kind of white, gray and black outfit .His whole body was tickled by black flames and smoke and somehow, he wasn't getting affected by any of it. The little girl's heart raced and her eyes widened as big as watermelons. Her petite hands grew cold and trembled with fear and her head turned light and dizzy, as if she couldn't think. Her body just froze there and her eyes were able to look around the place, and everything was just black. No ceiling, no walls, no floor and no nothing, except for the hopes of a girl who wants to stay alive. She shifted and gazed on the other redhead in front of her.

"Kairi…" The boy told her "Join me…"

"What?" she asked feeling very confused. What was he talking about?

"Join me, you will have another chance to meet our parents again" he said as he extended his arm, still touched by black flames and smoke which danced on his arm and body. The girl was feeling a lot of things right now. She was happy, sad and everything in between and yet, Kairi wanted to see her parents again so badly, but…

"What will happen to Roxas?" Kairi asked, even though that she and Roxas don't get along much, she just had to ask. "He's our brother too, you know,"

"Roxas is a grown-up now. He can take care of himself"

"But—"

"Kairi, don't you want to see your parents? Don't you want to see OUR parents?"

"Axel, I have to take care of Roxas" Kairi said to her older brother

The red haired boy just smirked and two figures appeared behind him. One of them was a male with blonde hair neatly placed on his head and small spectacles on the bridge of his nose. His body was well-built and his skin was sun-kissed. Beside him was a woman who was a little shorter than him and who looked like Kairi's splitting image. She had long red hair and her eyes were cerulean blue like Kairi's was. Her thin body was wrapped with her clothes which moved freely around her and her skin was white, just like Kairi's was.

"Mom?" her head turned around and looked at the blond man "Dad?"

The two of them nodded and smiled at their living daughter. Kairi let a tear roll off her eye and was happy that she could still remember how her parents look like. Even though she had a reunion with her parents and her older brother, she was scared to death now and she couldn't think, move or even breathe. She was getting suffocated by the black flames and smoke which used to trickle Axel's body. She was able to scream "Axel! Help me!"

"Don't be afraid of it. Accept whatever comes your way"

She could feel her spirit exiting her body and things flashed before her. How Axel and her parents died, how Roxas will be when she was going to leave the human world and go to the skies and how her after-life would be like. She couldn't take it. She kept on kicking and struggling to get free but with no avail. She had to try. The redhead kept on moving and shaking, making the flames loosen a little but getting stronger with every kick, punch or move that Kairi made. Her body was getting bruised and streaks of flames hurt her delicate skin and she just kept struggling to get free.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Kai?!" a familiar voice said "Yo, KaiKai!"

The red head just groaned. She moved her body around and shook her head forcefully. Sweat trickled down her forehead and her hands were wobbling forcefully as if they wouldn't stop. The person beside her grew worried and continued to shake her.

"Kai, you better wake up or else I'm gonna call a mental hospital!" he shouted and looked around for something to wake her up and in the corner of his eye, he noticed little Marshie cuddling her pillow in her little bed. He grabbed her and dug her furry little stomach into Kairi's face. Kairi was starting to breathe heavily followed by short brisk breaths until she couldn't take it anymore. She was REALLY getting suffocated!!! Out of desperation, she woke up and Marshmallow fell off her bed, and stood up on her small pink paws.

Kairi stood up on her feet and picked the white little cat from the floor "Aww, Marshie. Are you okay?" she asked in concern and the cat just mewed at her cutely. The teenage girl smiled and patted her nose and looked at her brother with a glare. "Roxie, are you trying to kill me?!"

"Hey, I didn't know what to do!" He answered "You were shaking a lot! You're lucky that today's a Saturday or else you would've missed school!"

"Oh, I didn't know," Kairi said as she sat down on the foot of her bed and Roxas followed suit and sat down too.

"What happened?" he asked "Did you get drunk, took drugs and slept with some random guy?!"

"WHAT?" she shouted "No way!!!"

She shuddered at what he said and tried to get it out of her mind by stroking little Marshmallow's soft white fur. Roxas' smirk slowly turned into a concerned frown and knew what was bothering her right away.

"Did you have a nightmare about mom and dad?"

She looked at the floor, still stroking the cat's fur. Tears bunched up in the middle of her eyes and rolled down her cheeks, wetting her face. She couldn't talk but instead, she just nodded.

"Kai, don't be sad. I miss 'em too," the blond said and decided to give her a cheer-up talk "Besides, you've got Aunt Kel, Marshie and more importantly…"

He stood up and placed his clenched fists on his hips and puffed out his chest "Me!!! Roxas the Great!" followed by a giggle from Kairi as she wiped away the left over tears in her blue eyes and a growl from Marshmallow. Roxas bent down to her short height "As if you would know if a hero was right in front of ya!"

Kairi just giggled some more and hugged little Marshie again. The blond grabbed his skateboard and made his way out of the room when he stopped and looked back at his sister.

"Hey, Kai," Roxas said "I'm going to the park to practice. Wanna come? It might take your mind off Axel, mom and dad"

She liked the offer but instead, she just refused. "Nah, I'll just stay with Marshmallow"

"Suit yourself"

Before Roxas could even open the front door to the outside world, someone knocked on the door. The blond twisted the knob and saw a blonde girl in front of him, carrying a few books and her shoulder was lifting her bag. "Naminé?!" he shouted, his eyes widening and if they got any wider, they'd fall off his eyes "What are YOU doing here?" he said as he jabbed his finger at her face

"We have to finish our stupid project, idiot"

She let herself in the house, not minding what Roxas was doing and let herself sit down on the white couch with a mahogany-colored coffee table in front of her. Roxas followed and sat beside the blonde as she took out some stuff from her bag. "Okay, the sooner we finish this, the sooner I can leave"

"Like I even wanted you here anyway,"

She rolled her eyes and showed him her notebook with a little diagram "So, I was thinking that we could—, "before she could go on, she noticed Roxas getting drowsy "Am I boring you?!" she screamed

"Sadly, yes"

"Roxas, c'mon," She said in her trying-to-be-nice kind of tone "We gotta finish this"

"Umm… Excuse me?! It's Saturday! It's one of the two days that we get to spend AWAY from school! That's the whole point why they gave us a load off working!"

"You're so immature…"

"At least I have a life"

Naminé stood up and placed her hands on her hips "That's because YOU don't know how MY life is like! I have to work twice as hard just to get a scholarship!"

"Again with school…" Roxas said as he rolled his azure orbs "Nam, You're such a perfectionist.No one is perfect, you know"

"At least I pay attention to school! And I'm not the shallow one!" she fought back

"Hey, I am not shallow"

"Okay, fill in the blank: The most important thing in Roxas Sonoda's life is?"

"Skateboarding is my hobby. That hardly makes me shallow"

"Okay then," Naminé said as she lightly stroked her chin "Then I guess the second, third and fourth things which are most important in Roxas Sonoda's life is Skateboarding, skateboarding and oh my God, skateboarding"

Roxas just gave her a death glare and he looked like he wanted to get a bloody knife—no. Dagger and stab her in the heart repeatedly and make her fall in the fiery depths of hell, watch her burn in the flames and see her spirit go out of her body. Instead, he just rolled his eyes.

"And I guess the fifth is girls but I guess you're too busy skateboarding to notice"

"Yeah, you're so right" Roxas said sarcastically "I love you, Nam. I love you, I love you, and I love you forever. Now come over here and give Roxie a kiss," the blond said as he puckered up his lips and started making kissing noises and Naminé just shifted away from him, giving a disgusted look.

"ROX!" she screamed "That's just sick!"

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Aunt Kellie!" Kairi screamed "Have you seen my bag?"

"No, Hun! Maybe it's in your closet!"

"Okay"

Kairi zoomed to her room and was greeted by little Marshie again "Marshmallow, have you seen my bag?"

She knew animals couldn't talk, but it was worth a shot anyway. The white little kitty mewed and tilted her head to the right a little. Kairi giggled. "Okay. But I hope you help me find it!"

She rummaged through her whole room and noticed a small frame in her drawer. She pushed away the other things that were inside and took a good look at the photo. It was a picture of her family while she was still ten. Little Kairi was on top of her 10-year old brother and she dug her fist into Roxas' spiky gold locks with glee and her brother couldn't do anything but lift her up. Even though he had a very hard time lifting up his sister, he still managed to show off his white teeth. Axel was beside them, crossing his arms on his chest and smirking and his green eyes were focused on his two younger siblings. Behind the three kids were their parents, their mother, Aya, and their father, Kenichi who were both smiling at their kids and Aya was giggling with a hand over her mouth while their father was just smiling at them. A tear rolled off her cheek and on the glass frame, staining it. She carefully turned the frame around and took out the picture of the Sonodas and remembered that she wrote something at the back. On it was different handwritings of each member. She looked at the upper right corner and saw her mother's handwriting.

'This is a picture of me, my lovely husband and my three beautiful and handsome children. Wherever we may go, this will always be a reminder that we will be there for one another.

Love, Aya Sonoda'

The red-head shifted her eyes and looked on the lower right corner and saw Roxas' handwriting. She always noticed that he always wrote his name before he drew a drawing of a skateboard.

'Hi! Whoever's reading this, I'm Roxas! When dis pikture was taken, KaiKai and I over there (The one who's beating up the blondie who happens to be me) are ten and Axel's thirteen! I hope that we won't change when we grow up!

The future Tony Hawk, Roxas'

Kairi smiled at her brother's silliness (as if he wasn't silly in the first place) and looked at what Axel wrote. 'Hey, this is Axel. I dunno what to write in here, since Roxas already took what I was going to write but, anyway, I hope that we would stay as one big happy family! Whoa, that sounded a lot like Barney… I guess that's what happens when your two younger sibs are hogging the TV and plan to watch DVD's of Barney the purple dinosaur who poisons the minds of children… Oh well.

Axel'

The red head showed off her pearly white teeth and forgot all about looking for her bag. Marshie stroked her side against Kairi's arm and purred and placed her body on the bed and was busy lazing away while the teen was reading what she and her other family members wrote. Then, she noticed her own handwriting.

'If someone reads this, I'm Kairi, but my older brothers just call me KaiKai. Anyway, if you look behind this pic, I'm the redhead over there that's squishing Roxie's head. Beside us is Axel and behind me are my parents! I love you all very much and I hope that we will be together 'till the very end!!!

The little-est one, KaiKai'

A wet tear rolled off Kairi's eye and fell on her pink top but she didn't mind. Her eyes shifted and looked at the center, with her former dad's writing on it.

'For those who are reading this, I know that many people want to go back in time and I know that I am one of those people. Aya and I are not getting any younger and sooner or later, Axel has to take care of Roxas and Kairi. I know I expect too much from him, but he is the eldest and he will take over when we are gone. I hope that all my dearest children will live on and be happy. Your mother and I are proud to have loving kids like you three and I hope that you all choose the roads you pick and just chase your dreams.

Kenichi Sonoda'

Her heart ached with pain as she read every single word that her father has written on the back of the photograph. A tear quickly turned into tears which turned into rivers. She never saw this picture in a long time already and even though writing it was fun, reading it just made her body ache in pain. Marshie saw this and gave her cutest face by whimpering and widening her eyes which started to sparkle and shine under the florescent light above them. Even though Kairi tried her best to cheer up, for Marshmallow's sake, reading what her dad wrote was too much for her to bear, especially when she was the one who killed them.

"Murderer…" Her mind repeated over and over again. Her thoughts were consumed by just that word. "Murderer…" it said, this time more deeply and slowly "You can't change what has been done. You're a murderer and that's that."

She couldn't bear it anymore. She couldn't live her life labeled as the one who killed her parents and her brother…

"I'm not a murderer"

Am I?

OoOoOoOoOoO

Little Kairi was busy playing around with her brother, Roxas in the backyard. They were playing around with a bright beach ball. Summer just started and the two of them couldn't wait to go to the beach to keep on playing with it. They pushed it up and when it fell, they pushed it up again. Both of them were smiling and chuckling until a certain redheaded teen came. He pushed back his flame-like hair and his fir green eyes twinkled with a mischievous look.

"Playing with the ball again, I see"

Kairi giggled and grabbed the ball from Roxas' tanned hands and shoved it into Axel's. "Hey, wanna play?"

Axel smirked at her and gave it back "Love to but I can't. I have to go with mom and dad so we can get something at the store"

"Okay," She replied "Hey, can you buy me a sea-salt ice cream?"

"Hey! Gimme one too," Roxas hollered from behind them

"Okay. Lemme ask dad first"

"Oh, Axie, can you also buy some cookies?" Kairi asked him "Little Roxie and I are going to have a little tea party!"

Roxas practically fainted "Aww… Not again! And this time, I don't wanna wear a frilly white skirt and a pink floral tube top!"

Kairi kept on giggling, remembering the last tea party that they had. Roxas was wearing… uh… something a GUY wouldn't even think of wearing. His outfit was a skirt and a pink shirt, complete with fake make-up and he even had his hair down, fake breasts, a flowery bonnet and everything! The reason why he was wearing something like that was because she paid Axel to dress him when he was sleeping and the blond never noticed until he sat down on the table, along with Kairi, Axel and some stuffed teddy bears, who were already giggling in their seats until Axel burst out of laughter and told Roxas everything. "I knew I should have taken a picture of that…" Axel whispered to himself

"Okay fine, Mister Roxas-no-fun. You can bring your skateboard if you wanna…"

He was going to jump for joy until something stopped him "Wait. Do I still have to wear the dress?"

"Maaaaybe," she said while she showed off a smile and folded her arms on her chest

Axel butted in "Okay. You two have fun. I'll go and grab those cookies"

"AND THE ICE CREAM" The two ten-year olds hollered

"And the ice cream…"

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Okay, lets go home," Aya said to Axel and her husband "I bet Roxas and Kairi are worried sick by now!"

Axel was struggling with a few brown paper bags and only his tanned face popped out of all the stuff "Don't worry. They're gonna be fine" He said as he remembered what he promised "Oh! I almost forgot! Kairi was asking if you could buy some cookies for her tea party with Roxas"

"Oka--… Wait. Roxas agreed?" his father asked while carrying a few bags too

"Uh… Kairi has her ways"

"Okay then"

The young little thirteen-year old looked at the grocery store, not far from the mall that they went to "Look!" he pointed at it "Maybe they sell some there!"

They placed the brown bags filled with their stuff into the back of their car and Axel started running over there while his parents soon followed afterwards. His heart speeded up like it was going one hundred miles per hour and he pushed open the overly sized glass door with the silver handle. His red hair was moving around since his head was looking for some cookies for the party (and he even thought of tagging along, in case Roxas would wear another dress or better yet, a two-piece!) until he found some and even grabbed extra, in case they'd get hungry. Of course, he thought of getting the sea-salt ice cream. He got five; two for his sibs, two for his parents and one for himself.

Once he got to the counter, his parents were there and they were going to give the munny to the cashier when the strangest thing happened.

Black smoke emitted from the back door and the people inside could smell the distinctive aroma. Axel smelled it too and the doors flung open, the smoke becoming wider and spreading all over the whole store. Sweat trickled down his forehead and he felt the heat which started to become hotter and hotter with every moment. His mother couldn't move and so couldn't he, his father, on the other hand, was tugging on their arms, hoping that they would move again. People evacuated from the store but Axel stayed put. He could see the stuff on the shelves move like waves and he just kept on feeling the heat.

Red, orange and yellow flames started to fill the place. It started to spread, and spread, and spread. Axel couldn't think or anything else, but his father's cries helped him regain consciousness. "AXEL! AYA! GET OUT OF HERE!"

"Huh?"

Their skin was already touched by the burning flames, making it burnt with every touch that the fire and their skin made contact. Axel could hear screams and his green eyes shook a little and started to run. They were on the second floor and all three of them ran and ran, the blonde's foot getting stuck on the wooden stairs and he winced in pain "Dad!" the young red head screamed as he helped his father get out. Splinters were on his ankle and he couldn't move easily and Axel hurriedly placed his arm around his shoulder and helped him walk. Aya was on the other side helping him too. They stumbled over a few times and the older female red head kept on praying for someone to save them. Tears fell down from her blue eyes and she continued to help her husband out of the building.

Flames continued to tickle their bodies, Axel still wondering why they were still alive. Loose floorboards fell off the ceiling and—

Fire entered their bodies. This killed them with every seductive dance.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Where's Axel?" Kairi said while looking out the window "Mom and dad aren't here too"

She continued to stare outside and all she could see was the sky which was pitch-black dark which was lit with a few stars. Some light posts were around, shining a light on the paved street. "Rox, I think something's wrong"

"KaiKai, don't worry. They'll come"

"When will they come back?" she asked worriedly "It's really late in the evening already!"

RING! RING!

The phone rang. RING! RING! "Rox, check if mom and dad are home… I'll get it," Kairi said as she made her way to the phone which wouldn't stop with its infernal ringing.

"Hello?" said the red head as she placed her ear into the receiver but no one answered "Hello? Anyone the--,"

"K-K-Kairi… It's awful…" said a female voice on the other line. Turns out to be Aunt Kellie; some people were crying and wailing in the distance

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Kairi could hear Aunt Kellie's sniffles from the other end and she tried her best not to cry "A-Axel and your parents…"

"What happened to them? They haven't come home yet… Is something wrong?"

Aunt Kellie had a hard time telling her "Kai, there isn't any easy way to say this but… T-They're dead,"

"What?" The small red head whispered, tears falling down rapidly as she continued to hear each word she said

"I'm sorry Kairi… I'm truly sorry"

She couldn't find the right words to say. Her mouth was dried up with what her aunt just said. Instead of saying anything, she just gently pushed the receiver on the phone again. Roxas noticed Kairi's soft cries and turned around, not paying attention to the window anymore. "Kai," He asked worriedly "What's wrong?"

Instead of answering, she just crashed her body into his and wrapped her arms around him and cried on his clothes, wetting them with every single tear she shed. He heard her wails and mourns and couldn't take it anymore. He rubbed her back up and down and whispered soft calming noises into her ear "Its okay… I'm here…" he said in his most brother-like tone. His sister just crushed him with her tightest bear hug she could muster. Even though Roxas tried his best to calm her down, she just continued crying. He started moving back and Kairi started removing her arms around him. She pushed away the tears from her eyes with her sleeve and tried to stop crying, but with no avail.

"Kairi… What did the person say?"

"Sh-she said that Axel and mom and dad…"

"What happened to 'em?"

"They moved on…" She couldn't bear to say that they were dead. She hadn't admitted it yet

Roxas felt like he was stabbed on the heart, followed by a few tears which came out of his eyes. He sniffled a little and gave her sister another warm embrace, the two ten-year olds cries were heard all throughout the house. "I-I can't believe it…"

"You're right, Rox," she pushed away the tears again and put herself together "Maybe, Aunt Kellie and the others are just playing a trick on us!"

"I highly doubt that,"

"You highly doubt EVERYTHING,"

Roxas stayed as quiet as a stump as Kairi just brushed away the red locks which fell in front of her pale face. "They aren't dead…"

"Kai, I know it's hard to understand but they went to the skies already. It's God's will. If he wants them to die, then he'll make them die. It's probably good for us"

Kairi wanted to slap him on the check as hard as possible but she was numb because of what he said. 'It's probably good for us… Or maybe, it's teaching me a lesson. I've been a bad person… I've killed my own parents' she thought over and over again…
