I don't own Kingdom Hearts


A silent wind blew the world around him. Zexion reached for the shiny gold handle on the entrance door to the basketball court. His hand touched the hard metal and a chill ran up his spine leaving his cold. He gave a slight pull and the door squeaked slightly. Zexion pulled the door open all the way and was welcomed with the smell of fresh floor wax and buttery popcorn. Zexion gave his ticket to the men at the entrance of the building and looked around for seat 138 section four. He walked on the concrete floor looking at signs to help him find his seat. Finally he came to section four. He climbed up four rows of stairs and turned to the right. There was seat 138. Zexion sat down and sighed. He rolled up his sleeve and checked the time. 4:55. Five minutes till the game. Zexion leaned back. He was lucky enough to have a chair with a back to it. He listened in on some of the conversations around him.

"I hope they win this game! If they do, then I win fifty bucks!" Someone from behind Zexion called out to his friends across the aisle.

"Man. Today's going to be a tough game. They are first best but these competitors are in for second." Another person said from below him. Zexion looked down at the court. The floors were a beautiful bright yellow wood with red, blue, and green lines painted indication the three-point lines, sidelines, and half court. There were many other lines that meant other things but these were most noticeable to Zexion. The basketball hoops were painted a shiny red with snow white nets. The backboards were clear with a white square in the middle sitting on top of the rim. On top of the backboards were shot clocks which read in bright red numbers. The team stands were on the right of Zexion was a bunch of metal benches were pushed next to each other. On the wall across from Zexion was a giant flat TV mounted on the wall. At the moment it was full of ads. He guessed that they would show the game when it started.

Just then, a loud buzzer went off and an announcer's voice boomed through the whole court. It started off by telling how great the weather was for a cold day. Then it switched on about telling about the team. Zexion absorbed it all. Then, the TV switched and showed a picture of the whole team. It was full of tall guys in red, blue, and green uniforms. There was only one short person. It looked like the team was somewhat picking on him in the picture. He didn't seem to mind. Zexion then remembered something. He cocked his head to one side and tried to remember. This boy looked very familiar to him. Zexion looked closer in the picture on the screen. He couldn't help but notice the tallest member. He had bright flaming red hair and strange tattoos under his eyes.

"Ugh! Why do they look so fucking familiar?" Zexion crused under his breath to himself making sure he was unheard. Then, his eye caught a medium height guy with brown hair styled into a mullet type of style with longer hair in the back. Not to long though. He had the same ocean blue eyes as… as…

"UGH! What the Hell! I know I've seen them… Somewhere…"

Why couldn't he remember!? He had a great memory! Zexion squeezed his eyes shut and tried to remember. He could picture them perfectly just… couldn't remember where he had seen these three characters. Then, he finally got it.

"Lunch today. The redhead kept poking me with his hair." Zexion snapped his fingers. That group that didn't notice him sitting at the table… Were basketball members? Interesting. Zexion watched the TV screen. They were showing the starting group along with a short profile. The first one they mentioned was the red head. They said that his name was Axel and he was 7, 3". He was really tall… The next person they mentioned was the blond. His name was Roxas and he was 5, 4". Zexion watched through one person and then they finally mentioned him. The brunette was named Demyx and he was 6, 6". They mentioned one more person and the role call was over.

"Axel…Roxas… and… Demyx. Huh." Their names burning into his memory. Then cheerleaders came running out screaming and waving their arms in the air doing stunts and basically cheering the team on. Then they ran off court.

The basketball players of both teams set up their positions. They matched up against other players by height. The ref threw the ball into the air only to be swatted at by the redhead and the other team's tallest player who wasn't nearly as tall. The ball was caught by the blond who dribbled the ball up the court and made a quick perfect lay-up. He smiled in triumph and was high fived by the redhead and brunette. They ran down the court as the opposing team got the ball. They passed it among each other, calling out plays and then shooting for the basket. Unfortunately it worked and they scored. Now it was our team's ball. The brunette brought the ball up dribbling slowly as he walked down the court. When he passed half court, our team started running around trying to get open for a pass. One of the other members set a pick and Demyx ran quickly for the basket. Before he ran into one of the other team's member's, he passed it off to another team member who tried to make a shot. They missed and the rebound was caught by the red head who threw it up like it was nothing. It went in with a quick swish. The crowed cheered and whistled.

"Our team's got this one in the bag." Somebody on the side of Zexion cheered. A quick time-out was called and they played a short little shooting game between crowd members.

"Wow, this game is more enjoyable then I thought…" Zexion said under his breath. Zexion didn't care too much for sports. He was more of the reading type. He didn't despise sports he just never got into them.

The buzzer went off again and the teams ran back onto the shiny yellow wood. The opposing team tossed in the ball and it was passed off between their team once again. This time, the one called Roxas remembered the play from before. He stole the ball in mid air and ran a dash for the basket. He was very fast. He shot from under the hoop and in it went after a small bang on the backboard. The other team got the ball and passed it in once again, their sprits lower then when they started. This time, they wasted no time and threw a shot up. It was swatted out of the air by Demyx, who jumped extremely high, and landed in Axel's hands. He dribbled the ball up the court slowly letting his team set up on the other side of the court. Axel then passed the Demyx, who passed it perfectly to another member of the team and they passed it to Roxas. Roxas then shot it up. It leaned on the edge of the rim. Axel jumped up and pushed the ball through the hoop. The crowd cheered.

"That guy was right. Our team has a win." Zexion said smiling slightly and narrowing his eyes and raising his hand to hold his chin in a way it looked as if he was thinking.


The game ended on time with a last score of 79 to 56. They killed the other team. Zexion walked down the sidewalk past the main building heading to his dorm. The fall air cooling his warm breath that left his lips in a puff of white air. The moon shined brightly untouched by the night clouds. No stars shone in the sky still. There were too many campus lights on. Zexion sighed. That basketball game was one of the best games he'd seen while he was in collage. Zexion yawned slightly. He walked up the stairs and into the entrance room of his dorm building. Four people sat in the chairs reading and doing homework. Zexion ignored them and walked into the stair well area. He climbed the two flights and then into the hallway. He stopped at his room and took his ID card out of his pocket. He opened his door and walked in.

The door shut behind him and Zexion dropped his coat on the floor again. He kicked off his shoes while walking and collapsed on his bed. It was only 7:30 and he was drained of all energy. He closed his eyes and sighed. He couldn't go to sleep like this. He had to get his cell out of his pocket, turn off the light, change into night clothes. He moaned and flipped over onto his back which cracked slightly. Zexion melted off his bed and stood up, his eyes half closed. He reached in his pocket and grabbed his cell and ID card and placed it on his nightstand. Zexion then, walked in his closet and took his day clothes off and changed into a pair of gray sweat pants and threw on a blue baggy short sleeves T-shirt. He walked out of his closet and into his bathroom. He brushed his teeth and quickly washed his face with warm water. He then clicked off his room light and wandered in the complete darkness. He was careful not to trip over his shoes this time and he tripped on the bed anyways. That was okay. He wanted to be on the bed anyways. He pulled the top blanket out and shuffled under the sheets that made a hissing noise as he got comfortable. His eyes shut instantly and he fell asleep quickly.
