Chapter 4

Waiting


The blonde walked the hospital hallway till he got to room 113. The blue eyes stared through the glass, and watched the people inside. As he reached for the door handle he stopped and turned to leave. He would come back after everyone left. Sora wasn't going anywhere, and he was going to be late for the meeting anyways. He knew what the meeting was about. His failure to recruit Sora, and if he was late he'd be in more trouble than what he was. Reaching the lobby he noticed the familiar set of red spikes smiling at him.

"Did they send you to pick me up Axel?" The blonde said with a look of interest.

"Can't a guy be there to support his friend when his brother is in the hospital?" Axel replied solemnly.

"Not when that friend is going to help pass my punishment." The blue eyes staring intently at Axel, as he stepped closer and put his arm around him.

"Roxas, I'm hurt. You know I won't help pass it. Now get in the car. We'll both be late, and this is supposed to be an important meeting. Besides Larxene could be the one punished. After all she put your brother in a coma, and you know our boss wants him in the Organization." Axel cheerfully said as he and Roxas got into the car. "Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day Roxas." The red head said starting the car and driving off.

Roxas didn't reply to Axel as he started to daydream of a certain someone. After the meeting was over he'd stop at one of the shops and pick up a gift for Seifer. Although being in the Organization took much of Roxas' time, he always spent the rest of his time and anytime he made with Seifer usually. He and Seifer had been dating for a few months now, and things were beginning to get serious. Roxas' thoughts were interrupted as they pulled up to the main headquarters. It certainly did stand out amongst the other buildings, a castle it could be called in a sense. Roxas got out of the car and gazed up at the doors. Inside the other members were in the meeting hall, waiting on him to arrive.

"Are you scared Roxas?" Axel's voice said from behind him.

"I'm not scared I can handle anything they decide." Roxas stated still staring at the entrance. In his mind he was scared, and wanted to be with Seifer, rather than facing the other members. But he shook it off. "Come on Axel. Let's get this over with." Roxas said looking back at him.


Namine stared intently at Riku from across Sora's hospital bed. She didn't know why he jumped in during the fight, or what he was up to. But she was determined to find out. Riku noticing her staring at him, and looked up at her. "What is it Namine?" Riku breathed out before turning back to Sora.

"Riku why did you help in the fight earlier?" Namine asked as soon as he stopped speaking. "Not that it isn't appreciated, because it is, Larxene would've hurt him worse." The girl added.

"I jumped in because Tidus and Wakka walked up to Sora because of me. Because I was mean to Kairi." Riku stated, not taking his eyes off of Sora. "She has told the school we're dating."

"Yea, me and Sora was discussing that when the fight started. So you aren't dating I assume?" Namine deduced.

"Correct. I like someone already. Except it has been hard for me to believe it in a way, I mean it caught me off guard." Riku shook his head, and they sat in silence for a bit. "When Ms. Lockhart sent me to find Sora, I was confused a bit." Riku stated to break the silence. "But it did make sense. If he was in the bath room you wouldn't have been able to go in to see if he was okay."

Namine let out a noticeable "ugh". "I would've walked in. Honestly Riku I'm not the same girl you once knew." Namine sharply said, turning to Sora hoping he'd wake up. "Sora is my best friend, and doesn't deserve the shit he goes through."

"I know Namine. Sora has back bone though." He chirped, thinking back to the scene in the bathroom and hallway. Although it hurt him Sora acted that way towards him, it also made him happy that Sora had some fight in him. "He showed it when Ms. Lockhart sent me to find him, and again when I stopped him in the hallway. He was very harsh, and it hurt really badly." Riku sighed out. Namine looked at him, waiting for him to continue instead of asking questions. She knew Riku would give her all of the answers she wanted from him.


Roxas stood in the middle of the meeting room, dubbed Where Nothing Gathers by Axel. He looked up at Axel then at the rest of the members. Stopping on the leader of the Organization, Xemnas. He was scared, and he knew it was showing on his face. He held his breath as Xemnas began the trial.


Namine sat down next to Sora and tried to get comfortable in the chair she was sitting in. Riku left an hour ago and Sora still had made no improvement. Namine started to fall asleep after a few hours of watching the overhead TV. As her eyes closed she thought she saw a figure in black stand over Sora. But being so worn out after the fight and being at the hospital, she couldn't stop herself from falling asleep.

"He is paying dearly Sora. Death is falling on Twilight Town, and your role will be crucial." Was the last thing she heard before going into unconsciousness


That was chapter 4. Reviews are always loved

I'm sure there are questions about this chapter. How it's set up and stuff. I'll answer them.

The next chapter will most likely about Roxas' trial and the Organization. Delve into the villains and some of their goals.
