Chapter Three: 'Guess Who's Back?'
Chapter Three. Woohoo!
"So, you're saying that you think Zexion did this?" Xemnas asked.
"Yes! They've been getting into a lot of fights lately!" Axel tried to get Superior to understand.
"But I don't think that Zexion could do anything this brutal." Superior said.
"Come on. This is bad, but Zexion could still do it! You even know how Zexion has been lately! You've been avoiding him." Roxas argued.
"Who's been avoiding me?" Zexion walked in the room, eyeing everybody.
"Nobody." Axel and Roxas replied together.
"What happened to you?" He eyed Demyx's black eye, broken nose, swollen lip, and multiple bruises over his body.
"Like you don't know!" Demyx winced.
"Don't move Demyx." Axel said.
"What do you mean?" Zexion looked at the way Roxas was eyeing him suspiciously. "You think I did this?"
"You're the last one that saw Demyx!" Roxas said. "And he even said that it was you!"
"Is that true Demyx? You think that it was me?" Zexion looked so innocent, that Axel almost believed him. But they all knew it was an act.
"Yes." Demyx winced again.
Zexion eyed everyone, and then walked through a portal.
"Do you believe us now?" Roxas asked.
"I think I do." Superior said. "But when did you two join forces?"
"We didn't!" Roxas was quick to say. "We just both care about Demyx so we went to look for him."
Superior nodded and walked through a portal.
"Why don't we take him to Marluxia or something? He'll know some weird herb or something that will make him heal faster." Roxas asked. When there was no answer, he looked up and saw that Axel had left. "Great."
Axel sighed. The sky outside was pitch black, except for Kingdom Hearts, the heart shaped moon.
Axel smiled. Peace.
"You son of a bitch!" Roxas bursted into the room.
Well, that was fast. "Story of my life?"
"Yeah! You left me there to take Demyx to Marluxia!" Roxas's face reddened, signaling that he was getting mad.
"You know, I never really noticed how short of a fuse you have." Axel said.
"I do not have a short fuse!"
"Uh, yes you do. You're sitting here arguing with me about having to carry Demyx, when you could have just TELEPORTED!!"
Roxas had an 'O' expression on his face. "Riiiight… sorry bout that…"
"Yeah. Whatever."
Roxas rolled his eyes. "So how many days you got left?"
"Starting tomorrow, 5." Axel answered.
"So, it's not going by too fast." Roxas shrugged.
"Yeah, and you know what's really weird?"
"Huh?"
"You're actually talking to me without yelling."
Roxas looked around. "I guess you aren't half bad when you're not being a complete asshole to me."
"Yeah."
Roxas yawned. "I'm beat. See you tomorrow."
"Yeah. Night."
"Night."
When Roxas left, Axel flopped onto his bed. He pulled his pillow under his head and closed his eyes.
The next morning, Axel sat up in his bed. 5 days. He stood up. He walked over to his dresser to grab a clean cloak. But on the way, he tripped over a small blonde-headed lump. Axel caught himself on the ground.
"Roxas? What are you doing here?"
The blonde yawned. "Yeah, sorry about that. Marluxia couldn't store Demyx in his room, and when Demyx moved in with Zexion they turned Demyx's room into like storage or something. So he put him in my room." Roxas yawned again. "I didn't want to wake you up. I didn't think that you'd care, you owe me anyway."
"I don't care, but do you really think that sleeping in the middle of my floor was the best idea?"
"Ahh, you'll get over it." Roxas stood up.
"You wanna go see Demyx?" Axel asked. Roxas nodded. They both made portals and walked through them.
Demyx was on Roxas's bed, staring at the ceiling. When he heard Axel and Roxas come in, he looked over at them and smiled. "Hey guys. Thanks for everything."
"Yeah. Anytime." Axel sat on the end of the bad. Roxas did the same.
"Was it really Zexion, Demyx?" Roxas asked.
Demyx shifted a little. "Yeah. I wanted to leave him, because of everything he's been doing to me and other members. He apparently didn't like the idea."
Roxas nodded. "Don't worry. He'll get what's coming to him."
Demyx shook his head. "Zexion gets away with everything. Nothing bad ever happens to him. It drives me crazy! He murdered a family member once, and got away with it?" Demyx's eyes widened. "You guys, you aren't supposed to know that! Uh-oh. Zexion is really going to kill ME now."
"Zexion? Murderer?" Roxas tried to contemplate these thoughts. "How do you know this Demyx?"
"I'm not supposed to know. I heard him talking about it with another organization member. When Zexion found out that I knew, he made me swear not to tell anybody." Demyx's eyes were full of fear. "Please don't let him know that you know that."
"Don't worry Demyx. He wont know." Axel tried to calm Demyx. "But knowing that does make me worry."
"Me too." Roxas agreed.
"Who was it that he was talking about it with?" Axel asked Demyx.
"It was either Xaldin or Xigbar." Demyx thought. "I was listening through a door, but I know that it was either of them."
"Did the person sound like a retarded surfer?" Roxas asked.
Demyx was confused. "No, why?"
"Then it definitely wasn't Xigbar." All three boys laughed.
"You've got a point." Axel laughed.
"It's nice to see you two finally get along." Demyx smiled.
"Yeah, yeah." Roxas smiled. "But I'm still glad that you're leaving." He said to Axel.
"You know you'll miss me." Axel teased.
"Yeah, about as much as I will miss being woke up at 7 am." Roxas countered.
"You have to be thankful about that time that I woke you up, and you almost missed departing for your mission though, right?" Axel hoped.
"You dumped three full buckets of COLD water on me!" Roxas snapped.
"But I still woke you up!" Axel retorted.
"And off goes the old married couple…" Demyx laid his head back on the pillow, trying to tune out Axel and Roxas.
"You are such a-" Roxas heard a slight snore. "Demyx?" Axel looked at Demyx as well, and they both noticed that he had fallen asleep.
"Let's get out of here." Roxas said. Axel nodded, and they both walked out the doorway.
"It's really early in the day. What do you want to do?" Roxas asked.
"I don't know. Hey, how do we even know that it's early in the day anyway? There's always the moon outside. And a dark sky. There isn't ever a sun." Axel wondered.
"Since our moon is shaped like a heart, if we had a sun, I wonder what it would be shaped like…" Roxas pondered.
"A brain?" Axel guessed.
"That could make sense. In a twisted way."
Demyx opened his eyes. He felt another presence in the room.
"Hey Demy." A figure walked out of the corner.
"Zexion?"
"Pick one!" Axel pushed.
"Have ice cream shoved in my face." Roxas said.
"Really?" Axel asked.
"Yeah. Your turn." Roxas thought for a moment. "Okay, would you rather wear girls clothes for a week, or wear girls makeup for a week?"
"Makeup." Axel said. "You can make that look like your not even wearing any."
"Good choice." Roxas agreed. "I agree."
"This is boring." Axel said flatly.
"I agree."
"Your very agreeable today." Axel looked at Roxas.
"You caught me in a good mood." Roxas smirked.
"Roxas?" Superior walked in the room.
"Yah?" He turned around and looked a Xemnas.
"Mission. Come with me for briefing." Superior motioned for Roxas to come with. "Axel." He nodded, acknowledging Axel.
Roxas walked over to Superior and out of the room with him. Axel heard their voices get fainter.
"Well, this completely sucks." Axel sat on his bed.
"You said it."
Axel swiveled around. Zexion was standing in his doorway.
Axel's eyes narrowed. "What do you want?"
"I want to know why I'm being accused of doing that to Demyx!" Zexion sat down next to Axel.
"Because, considering your track record, your basically the number one suspect. And the fact that Demyx says it was you." Axel informed him.
"My… track record?" Zexion eyed him suspiciously.
"Yeah. Being a complete asshole to everyone in the castle… and wait… didn't you give Vexen a black eye last month?" Axel asked.
"He asked for it." Zexion crossed his arms. "But I would not do something like that to Demyx. I love Demyx, Axel."
"I know, but everyone knows that you can get a little angry sometimes." Axel immediately regretted what he said. He could see anger ride up in Zexion's eyes.
"I. Do. Not." Zexion said through clenched teeth. He drew his arm back, hitting Axel's right eye with such force that it knocked Axel unconscious.
Chapter Three: DONE!! YAHOO! I don't even know if you can get hit hard enough in the eye to lose consciousness, but if you cant, then I said you can. Just for the sake of my plotline. I was having troubles getting the borders inbetween each part. But they are there now. Yay.
Coming NEXT in 'One Week'
Chapter Four: 'Roxy Cares??'
Does Roxy care that someone that he was beginning to become friends with just got punched in the eye? And what about Zexion? What's going through his head?
