I'm on a fucking roll this week! Two chapters! Hell yes! They are going to get to their destination in this chapter. And sorry chapter 3 was short.

9:00pm\

"Where are we going?"

"It's not my usual place to get ice cream."

I watch Axel adjust himself next to me. We had been on this train alone for three stops and he hasn't given me the slightest of clues. I should have studied this place when I had the chance. I wondered how long Axel had been here, if he had seen me walking around for the past six years he must have memorized the main attractions. Maybe more than that. I had no idea how smart he was, he certainly wasn't stupid I knew that much.

I studied his face some more, Bright green eyes, smooth skin that wasn't too pale. The triangles under his eyes added some character and so did the mess of spiky red hair. The jacket he wore was more like a trench coat, knee high boots, and gloves in the same black color. There was a definite magic property to them otherwise a normal person wouldn't be wearing head to toe black in the middle of summer. Or maybe it was one of those high fashion things, like wearing a scarf year round.

I tug at my scarf that was now undone. Axel is looking at me now his eyes transfixing on my red neckwear. He reaches for it, the leather from his gloves runs over my collar bone. The feel of warn leather raises goose bumps on my skin bringing color to my face. My breathing slows down; blood rushes through me quickening my heart beat. It felt like my heart was burning as he tucks the red cloth around my shoulder. His face was just inches from mine. There was no way he couldn't feel the heat my body was producing. Our foreheads pressing together, noses barely touching, I could feel his arm around my waist. The train comes to a slow but loud stop; the announcer separates us. His lips barely brush mine. I could see a devious look on his face. He takes my hand as he did before.

10:15pm

My hands where both holding something, my left has a frozen blue Popsicle, my right was holding Axel's hand. He had taken me to a beach; it had never occurred to me that there had been an ocean on this world. This was my first time seeing one.

Back on my home world all we had in our area was a huge lake in the center of our villages. Our leaders would go there with a select group of warriors every full moon. They would pray to the gods, receive advice or even talk to the death guardians that resided there. I had never been to that island in the middle of the lake. I was never a real warrior; I'm not even one now. All I could do was protect myself from the regular human thug.

I looked to Axel again and wondered if he could handle a weapon. He's nimble enough to be fast but not enough to be weak; He had after all pulled me over a metal railing. If we got in a real fight he could surely kill me with only minimal problems. Axel wouldn't hurt me, I'm sure of that. We had stopped at the end of "Board walk" (As he called it) and sat down together. Most of the other people had moved down to the beach where there was more room. They all seemed to be waiting for something.

"Axel what are they waiting for?"

He pulls me closer to him. I can feel the natural fire that was his body. "They are waiting for the show."

I was about to ask what the show was until I was cut off by a loud crack. The sky was lit with color. We were at a fireworks show; it was like being a child again celebrating the coming of spring. Tears rolled down my face again. Not tears of pain, Tears of joy. I kiss Axel's jaw line and nuzzle my head into his neck. I dropped my ice cream to hold onto both of his shoulders. He was so warm I instantly fell asleep.

10:45pm ~ Axel~

I lay her down in her bed. It's occurred to me that I didn't even bother to ask for her name. Something feels like she wouldn't give it to me any way. I examine her apartment. Her bed was out here in the living room while the two back doors were locked. Now why would someone sleep out here when you have two perfectly good rooms back there? I don't know the answer; all I do know is that I'm not going back there without her permission. I didn't care about my mission. For some reason or another all I cared about was how she was getting along in this world.

I had seen her many times over my nobody years. I would go to the clock tower and see her red scarf from afar, sometimes seeing black swirls of darkness. I never thought of interacting with her until the day I saw her trying throw herself into a train. Demyx had been my partner that and had gossiped about my heroic efforts in saving Race track. (That's what he calls her, I don't like it.)

It was at that time I was required to submit a detailed report of what I knew about her. All I could say is that she was a girl who wore a red scarf. An occasional swirl of darkness here or there but normal. Boss man didn't agree with that. He thought she was something different and demanded I begin to watch her every day. That was creepy to me, I'm not a stalker nor do I plan to become one.

Instead I decided to go ask her the following day. She seemed lonely enough. Everyone needs a companion once in a while. At least that's how I thought it would turn out. At that moment when she woke up from that chair I didn't want to boil her for answers. I wanted to see that tired looking face smile. I'm sure that's my reasoning for taking her to the fireworks and it worked. My hand slides to the spot where she had kissed me. I really wanted to kiss her on the train, she probably wanted it too but to me it didn't feel like the right time. It's time for me to go now. I'll leave out the trip to the boardwalk and make up some other uneventful story.

I steal one last glance at her. Xemnas had been right about her not being normal. Darkness was heavy in this area, mostly surrounding her. It never touched her. It couldn't touch her. That much he did know about her, and that secret he would keep for her.
