A/N: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of their characters. :3 Also, it's a little late for this, but thanks PenguinObsessed and JayDex for the reviews X3.
It was nighttime. Ven had gone to bed after their dinner. Even though he said he was completely recovered, Roxas could still feel the slight exhausted tone in his words. Which made him send Ven off to bed soon after dinner and let him clean the rest.
He waited and waited.
It was 11 at night when he heard a beep from his cellphone. It was a text from Sora.
[Meeting at Rooftop on 12. See ya guys!]
Roxas quickly let the phone slid into his pocket before he checked Ven's condition. His twin was deep in sleep. He smiled gladly at that, and then left secretly without making any noise. He locked the door and then quickly left the dorm.
"I'm here." He said as he reached the rooftop. Naminé was the first one to greet him. Almost everyone was there, only Riku and Eraqus were absent.
"Riku and the master are in the base. You remember, right? The one at the library." Terra explained as Aqua filled him in. "Riku is researching Ansem's reports, so he don't help us often. Me and Riku often change shifts. So you won't see us very often. The master had to stay, because he's monitoring everything."
"Apparently there are more hidden writings than the one I showed you this morning, Roxas. So Riku is staying in the library in case there are more hidden ones." Naminé said as again she held his hand. "Good luck, Roxas." She said to him.
"Naminé, how come you never say good luck to me?" Sora said, protesting as Roxas blushed. "But, Sora, don't you have Kairi to…" She wasn't able to finish her words when Kairi butted in. "Naminé!" She pouted, then looked at Sora with a murderous look.
"I-I'm sorry, Kairi! I was just joking! No! Stop that! That's a keyblade! Kairi!" Sora shouted as he ran away from Kairi's chase. Terra and Aqua just chuckled, commenting on how they looked adorable together.
"…That reminds me. Kairi also hold a keyblade, right? Why didn't she join the fight yesterday?" Roxas asked. The other blonde looked down. She seemed like she was about to explain, but she refrained herself from doing so.
"It's…because of me…" She muttered. Her voice very quiet that Roxas had a hard time to listen to her. "It's…because I'm…" Again, she was unable to finish her words.
"It's because I want to be with her." Kairi stated, behind her was a half-beaten, half-burnt Sora. She approached the blonde and head-butted her on the head. "I'm here because I want to be here, Naminé. You're precious to me, and to everyone else. That's why I'll always be by your side. So… don't blame yourself." She said with a smile. "Besides, I believe that without me, everyone will do fine. Right, Sora? You have my charm after all." She said as she smiled to Sora, whom smiled back at her.
She then looked at Roxas and gave him a murderous look. In which Roxas wondered what he did wrong.
"I won't forgive you if you make her cry." She stated before looked away.
'Wha? What's that? A declaration of…war?' He thought before he saw Sora approaching.
"Naminé has a special ability. She can tell where the heartless or nobody will come. However, she is unable to wield the keyblade. That's why Kairi stayed with her, in case anything happens." Sora whispered to him. That makes sense now.
"There's something I forgot to tell you." Naminé said, right before Roxas returned to his class.
"Don't tell anyone about this. Not even your brother." She stated as she wrapped up the lunchbox. "And… look at your cellphone tonight." She said, ending their conversation before returning to her own class.
"Say, Sora." Roxas called as he watched the starry night. "What are we supposed to do here?" He asked, still oblivious to what's going to happen.
"You'll know soon enough." Sora said with a grin. And he was right. Naminé has detected something coming from the sky. It seems to be getting closer and closer.
"Get your keyblade ready, Roxas!" Sora yelled in excitement as he drew his Kingdom Key while Roxas his Oathkeeper and Oblivion. As he shouted, three figures appear at the shine of the moon. Each carrying a similar figure without wings with them. As they reached the school, each of them dropped the figures they were carrying, revealing them to be Heartless.
"Here they comes, let's go everyone!" Sora yelled as he charged into the heartless. Naminé and Kairi had secured themselves far behind and close to the stairs. Aqua backing them up with her spells and Terra, being Terra, just charge on his enemies like some kind of rhinoceros or something.
Roxas, being a more collected fighter than Sora decided not to get too close to the enemy and strike them from behind. So far, his strategy was doing well. That was until the three flying heartless called for their friend. Five more air soldiers came with each carrying their cousin, the soldier with them.
Again, they dropped the reinforcement to attack.
"If we don't do something about those flying heartless, it won't end!" Aqua shouted as she casted her spell on the flying heartless. Too bad the flying heartless were faster than her magic. The air soldier then hovered, before quickly flew down and strike on Aqua.
"Aqua!" Terra shouted. He quickly dashed to her aide. Blocking the next air soldier aiming at her. "I'm okay. Heal!" She shouted as she casted a magic to heal herself.
They have managed to defeat all of the soldier heartless, however, none of their attacks can reach the hovering soldiers. And they seem to be mocking them. Which angered Sora even more.
"If only he's here…" Aqua muttered. In which caught Roxas's attention. "Riku?" He asked. Aqua suddenly panicked and answered his question. "N-no, It's… the Master! Yeah! Master Eraqus. I was hoping for Master Eraqus, right, Terra?" She asked as she looked at him with a begging face. Terra, also hesitating nodded with a slightly panicked look.
"Y-yeah! Of course!" Terra replied. Roxas was about to question them further, but he was wise enough to let them go. The fight still goes on and he didn't want to abandon Sora just like that.
"Damn it. We can't win if we stayed on the ground…!" Sora stated as he realized something. He started yelling and then threw his keyblade into the air. Performing a strike raid move. Surprisingly, it hits, although barely. "Hey, it works!" Sora shouted as he caught his keyblade back.
"Nice move, Sora!" Kairi cheered from behind before she noticed a change of expression on her senior's face.
Both Terra and Aqua stared blankly at Sora, as if remembering something. But then they quickly broke away from their thought and continue their attacks. With Aqua casting thunder at the sliding down air soldiers and Terra charging at whoever got electrocuted by Aqua.
"Roxas! You should try throwing your keyblade to the air too! Trust me, it works! And besides, you got two with you, so it'll double the damage…" He quieted down. Roxas was staring blankly at the sky where the air soldiers were panicking. "Roxas? Are you okay?" Sora called with a worried expression on his face.
But the blonde replied with a smile.
The air around him started to move. It's as if Roxas was controlling them. He smiled kindly at the change of wind and then threw his keyblades. The movement was similar to Sora. However, they didn't return immediately.
Instead, the wind was carrying his keyblades. They spun around and beat the heartless until nothing is left.
When the keyblade returned to him, Roxas returned to his senses. "Huh? Wh-what just happened?" He muttered to himself as he examined his keyblades. The wind no longer linger around him.
"Ama~zing! Roxas! How did you do that? That was amazing Roxas! Brilliant!" Sora yelled as he ran to him and glomped him down. Kairi and Naminé soon approached them with smiles on their face. "There are no more Heartless, we can rest now." Naminé stated as she made another check with her ability.
Everyone was happy. But not Terra and Aqua. Both of them wear the sorrowful face. However, they managed to hid their expression before anyone noticed.
Eraqus soon appeared with Riku tagging along and thanked them for their hard work before they were all dismissed.
"You should go back. I thought I'd explain you everything tonight, but you're tired enough. I'll explain tomorrow in the art room… Oh…with the bento…as well." Naminé said with a shy face before she disappeared along with Kairi and Aqua to the girl's dorm. The girl's dorm were on the other side of the boy's dorm.
'What was that power?' Roxas thought as he clenched his fist. He can still feel the flow of energy coming from him. The flow that controlled the wind. He didn't know where it came from, but it was there. It was definitely there. He just didn't know how to control it.
"Well, see you later, Roxas! Terra!" Sora waved goodbye as he entered his and Riku's room. Terra went to the room next to his as Roxas entered his own. He quickly get changed and then slumped into his own bed after taking another check on Ven. Which seemed to be still sleeping peacefully.
He smiled at the solitude.
Roxas woke up to find Ven already gone. He heard sound from the bathroom so he might be still in the shower. Just as he walked out from the room, Ven also came out from the shower. His face looked sad.
"Ven? What's wrong?" He asked as he approached him. His older twin looked surprise hearing his voice. He was too deep in thought that he didn't notice Roxas was already up. "Ah, Roxas, good morning." He smiled before returning to that sad face. "It's nothing, actually. I just… had a bad dream." He said to him as he chuckled lightly.
"Bad dream? Like, nightmare?" He asked. But his twin only looked down. "…No, I think it's a bad dream, but… I can't seem to remember it." He chuckled again before walking to the refrigerator to check on their supplies.
"Well, don't think too much about it. It's just a dream after all." Roxas suggested before he went to take shower. "Oh, and Ven? You don't have to make bento for me today." He added as he went to the bathroom.
"…? Well, if you said so." His older twin replied with a confused face as he prepared everything for school.
Today was the last day of the orientation session. It's during this day that the seniors collected the junior agendas and checked if there's anyone lacking off. He was glad that Ven was able to finish his. Terra had actually taken his junior agenda, and completed it for him. Those who don't complete their agenda shall receive punishment. The punishment varies. It can be cleaning the toilet, squat jumps, or run for 10 laps.
The next activity is to have a tour of every clubs in the school. This school was big enough that it takes a lot of time visiting every clubs. Terra was in the Kendo club. What's more, he's the captain of it. It seems like no one is stronger than him in the club whilst Aqua is the captain of the archery club, adored by both boys and girls. Sadly, no one can approach her whenever Terra is around.
Sora and Riku has decided to join the blitzball club while Kairi signed up for the cheerleading team. Naminé, being Naminé has found her place in the art room.
It seemed to him that he was the only one who doesn't have a club. Even Ven has found his place in the library. For some reason, he has a thing for books, and has already got signed up as a committee.
"Hey, Roxas? Have you decided on any clubs yet?" Hayner asked with a grin, a struggle bat on his hand. "No, have you?" He replied as he chuckled. It's obvious that the boy has just joined the struggle team. And Roxas was right as he saw the boy grin and swirl his bat.
"Whaddya say, Roxas?" He asked as he pointed the handle of the Struggle bat at Roxas. The blonde smirked and pulled the bat from him. "Sounds fine to me." He smirked. Then the two laughed. Unknown to him that Ven was watching him from afar, smiling as he watched Roxas laugh.
'He'll do fine… He'll be alright.' Ven thought as he walked away.
