This is actually the longest chapter I've pulled off in quite a while so I hope you enjoy it guys. On other news, I will be starting driving lessons in a few hours and won't have the same amount of time as before to upload the next chapter but I'll try and have it up as soon as possible.

Chapter 4: The Call of the Horn

"Come on Roxas, we're late!" Riku called form down stairs.

"Hold your horses Mop-Hair!" Roxas shouted form his room before running out with his small suitcase and leaving it next to Riku who stood by the front door. "Give me a moment; I'm going to get my skateboard"

"Hurry up!" Riku growled. If the angel could, he would bash his head against the door but Axel stood net to him to make sure he didn't "Is he always like that?"

"Noticeable you've never gone camping with him" Axel said.

Riku rolled his eyes in annoyance before Roxas came back running, with a white skateboard in his hands gasping for air.

"Ok, I think that's everything" Roxas said.

"Are you sure you don't want to go have a swim at the lake, or maybe jump off the roof of the house or roll on the snow" Riku huffed, dragging Roxas' luggage out the door and to his car.

"Shut up Mop-Hair" Roxas said picking up his back pack and looking at Axel.

"Sure you don't want to come?" Roxas asked.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine" Axel said. "You have fun in the mean time" he leaned down and pecked the blonde in his lips before Roxas hugged him.

"I'm gonna miss you" Roxas said.

"And I'll miss you too" Axel said with a gentle smile, brushing a bang away from Roxas' face before kissing him again. "Now, go, before Riku blows his brains out calling you again"

Roxas laughed before squeezing the redhead one last time.

"Hey, have you seen Aerith?" Roxas said, "I haven't said good bye to her yet"

"Roxas!" Riku called again.

"I'll say goodbye to her for you" Axel said pushing the blonde outside the house. "You better go now"

"I'll call when I get the chance" Roxas said with a sigh as he walked out to the snowy driveway.

"You better" Axel warned.

By the time Roxas threw all his stuff in the back seat Riku was already sat in front of the steering wheel drumming in it with his fingers impatiently. Roxas gave a sigh.

"Do we have to leave so soon, can't you just give me a few hours to make sure everything we really need is set?"Roxas said.

"I have to go and pick up someone before we leave" Riku said, setting his car in reverse and driving into the driveway in a rather impatient manner, barely giving Roxas time to wave Axel goodbye.

With a sigh Roxas opened his back pack and brought out his iPod, plugging one of his earphones in his ear and turning up the volume of his music before reaching for his PSP. Riku only stared at the road as Roxas tapped the buttons of his entertainment device. A few minutes later, he was bored and he turned his PSP off to look out at the passing by trees and houses before they reached Twilight Town. Roxas gave a sigh; it had been a long time since he had last been there and he wondered if that was where Riku's friend lived, because if she did, then he would bite Riku's head off for rushing him.

"Is this where your friend lives?" Roxas asked.

"No, I told you I was going to pick someone up" Riku said as he parked in front of one of the many houses in Twilight Town.

Roxas looked at it, it was white and much smaller than his, and he wondered if it was because he lived at the section of Twilight Town that was up in the mountains and there was more space that he felt cramped. Maybe it was because he wasn't used to seeing so many houses next to one another. Back at the cabin where he, Axel and Aerith lived, it was a short walk before he could get to the next house, here they were all next to each other and there were barely any trees at all.

"Stay in the car, I'll be back as soon" Riku said, getting out of the car and leaving the ignition on.

Roxas locked the doors as soon as he got off; a thing Aerith had gotten him accustomed to doing, she always said it was for his safety in case someone tried to steal the car and he was inside. Roxas shuddered, feeling his fingers become cold and turning up the heat. He couldn't believe how Riku could deal with such a cold weather outside ad travel inside his car with the AC on cold instead of in heat.

Minutes passed and Roxas continued to sit inside the car, waiting for Riku to come back but nothing. He looked up at the cloudy sky, noticing snow flakes starting to fall. He smiled to himself, before opening the car and stepping out to the freezing weather outside to watch the falling snow.

It was his first time actually watching it fall for the first time, lately snow fell while he had been asleep during the night or he had watched it fall from the tree branches as they rocked back and fourth; but today things were different. Snow was actually falling from the sky and he felt them land on his face where they melted and left small drops of water in his warm skin.

"Hi there" a voice called and Roxas looked over to the house where now a black haired girl with red eyes stood, waving at him as she walked to Riku's car tugging a suitcase with her. "You must be Roxas…Riku's kid right…his son"

"Pretty much" Roxas nodded. "Though we don't exactly look like it"

He had gotten used to people saying Riku was his supposed father though they looked different, but Riku was the one who had taken him in before giving him over to Aerith for some strange reason, Roxas still couldn't decipher. However, Roxas doubted that, what kind of father would actually give his son away to some friends, to be take care of? Not that he was against it, Riku visited him and that was all that mattered. Riku also was the one who paid for most of Roxas' stuff, like clothe, medicines and a videogame or two, Aerith and Axel worried more about his eating, entertainment and comfort, Roxas never needed money cause Riku always gave him every month, like a child support. He cursed himself for being unable to remember, the only thing he knew was that Riku had taken care of him before he had lost completely all memories in a supposed car accident.

"Tifa Lockhart; I'm a friend of Riku's. He's talked to me about you" the woman said as she stopped in front of Roxas and they both shook hands. "He tells me you love videogames and it just so happens I'm a I work with them as a designer"

"Awesome!" Roxas said, watching her reach inside her purse and pull out a small case.

"Don't faint" Tifa said with a smile, handing the blonde the small case and she watched his eyes widen.

"Dissidia! No freaken way!" Roxas said, "This game isn't supposed to be out until next month!"

"I worked in it, so I snatched a copy for you when Riku told me you were coming" Tifa said, opening the back door. "Don't tell anyone cause I might get in trouble if they know I gave the game away before it was released to the public here"

Roxas quickly got back in and pushed his stuff to the side to let Tifa have a comfortable place, a videogame designer such as her didn't deserve to travel in such a cramped space and with stuff all over her, she deserved better in Roxas' opinion.

"Thank you" Tifa said with a smile, setting her stuff in.

"No; thank you!" Roxas said, closing his door as Riku came back and Tifa got in, still staring at the game case in his hand as if it was an illusion and he was waiting for it to disappear to protest, but that never happened. He quickly brought out his PSP and switched the disks, turned it on and began his game as Riku began to drive.

"Ok, where did you tell me she was again?" Riku asked, looking at Tifa through the mirror.

"She'll be waiting for us at Traverse Town, First District" Tifa said, "that's where I called her too"

"Very well, what I expected to be an hour or two trip has turned into one hell of a trip of four days" Riku mumbled.

Roxas looked at him shocked.

"Four days!" the blonde nearly chocked on air.

"Yes, so sit tight and at the firs that you ask "Are we there yet?" I'll pullover and leave you there" Riku warned and Roxas sat there silent; smirking.

How he enjoyed teasing Riku with the traditional "Are we there yet?" Riku glared at him and Roxas laughed, enjoying the reaction he received from the silver haired man.

"Do you sense Roxas anywhere in the house?" Sora asked, his black eyes looking down at the cabin as he stood on a tree branch. "I can't sense anything"

"They left" his older brother said and Sora looked up to the tree branch above him to see a Roxas look-alike. "I didn't expect them to be stay around. And they must have split up too, to confuse us"

"What now Ventus?" Sora asked. "Were could they have taken him thins time?"

Ventus only stared at the house.

"There's only one place I know they could have gone to at a time like this" Ventus said "and with some luck maybe they left that meddling redhead with Roxas" Sora looked at him for his answer "They must have gone to cower behind Xion like they always do when we're at their tails"

"You'd think they would have made it more entertaining, but they're really just boring" Sora said with a sigh of pity.

"And they have now idea how much that bores me" Ventus smirked, looking down at his smaller sibling. "I trust you can catch up to them Sora"

"What do you want me to do then?" the brunette Evertos asked.

"Jut stick with him and don't let him out of your sight" Ventus said, "when I get there I'm going to make sure none of them make it out alive…not even those meddlesome angels"

Sora gave a sigh.

"Whatever you say big bro" like that Sora disappeared in a quick blur, his older sibling following him by air.

"Finally!" Roxas said running out of the car and leaving his stuff behind, making a run for the bathroom.

Riku laughed as he watched the blonde go, leaving him and Tifa behind to laugh at him.

"Run Roxas, run, the toilet has legs!" Riku shouted after him.

"Shut up Mop-Hair!" Roxas yelled at him from the bathroom door before disappearing behind it.

Tifa coughed a few times before looking at her purse.

"Why don't you check if any of the Evertos are after us? I'll go get some snacks for the road" Tifa said,

"Sure thing" Riku said, unlocking the doors so that Tifa could get out.

Once she was gone he brought out his small mirror and stared at it an image of a running Sora appearing in it. With a sigh Riku looked at Tifa go over to the vending machines. He should have expected Sora to be the one to come after them, he was the Celeritas Evertos after all, and he looked at it again, tracing his fingers over the image of Sora running through the trees, his legs almost invisible. He still couldn't understand how someone so innocent looking could have such a demonic, cold and dark heart; but then again, he was an Evertos, he was supposed to look like that to fool everyone else.

"You know, next time put it up on the news paper so everyone will know I have to go to the bathroom" Roxas said as he opened his door and sat back in, not expecting to find Riku staring at himself in the mirror—a weird mirror he thought, it had strange patterns, almost like clouds. "Did you hear me?" the silver haired man didn't answer yet and it was then Roxas noticed Riku's eyes were a golden-walnut color instead of the aquamarine eyes he was used to seeing. "Riku" he shook Riku out of his trance, "what's with your eyes"

Riku looked at him and he noticed that his eyes had gone back to their aquamarine eyes.

"What's wrong with them?" Riku inquired, ready to cover up his slip.

"They changed color all of a sudden, they were a weird shade of gold right now" Roxas said, "and what's with the mirror?"

"I was just thinking" Riku said, "and I have no idea of what you're talking about, they've always been aquamarine, they've never changed"

"Well they did just now" Roxas said, not being fooled by Riku's attempt to cover up what was going on, he had seen Riku's eyes change colors.

"You must have imagined it" Riku said, "My eyes can't change colors"

"Well they did" Roxas insisted, "I didn't imagine it"

"Whatever you say then" Riku said turning off the car before going out, "Wait in the car, I have to talk to Tifa"

Roxas growled. Riku always got his way! He couldn't believe it. He had seen Riku's eyes go form golden-walnut to aquamarine right before his own eyes; it couldn't have been a mind trick, he had seen them changed; but now Riku had planted the seed of doubt on him with one simple phrase "You must have imagined it"

"Tifa, I need you to summon Xion to the next town we're headed, too; we're in deep trouble right now and we can't wait to reach Traverse Town" Riku said.

"Why?" Tifa asked, taking out a bag of potato chips form the vending machine.

"They sent the Celeritas Everto after us" Riku said, "We're going to need her with us now"

"I can't summon her here, there're too many people around. We'd have to get somewhere else" Tifa said.

"Follow me then" Riku said, walking off towards the other side of the pit stop where there was a dense forest that stretched around it before the entry and exit to the pit stop cut through it.

"Stay in the car, we'll be back in a few minutes" Riku said as he opened the door to retrieve the keys from the ignition and giving them to Roxas, "If we take long and you get cold then turn it back on"

"Where are you going?" Roxas asked, turning form his video game to the two adults, watching as Tifa opened her door to drop of some bags of chips and grab her suitcase, opening it and binging out a wooden case In which she could have stored a trumped or probably another wind instrument.

"We won't be long; we just have to do something" Tifa assured before closing her door.

"Roxas, if you see a guy with spiky brown hair with blue or black eyes; make a run for the woods, we'll be there" Riku said.

"Wait! What for?" Roxas was left without an answer, Riku shut the door close instead of answering and that annoyed Roxas to no end; he was acting so strange!

Roxas huffed, turning off his PSP annoyed and opened the door before stepping out of the car and back into the cold weather outside; following Riku and Tifa.

Riku heard footsteps behind him and turned to see Roxas approaching him and gave an annoyed sigh.

"Roxas get back in the car" Riku ordered.

"Forget it, I'm going with you" Roxas protested, running past Riku and the silver haired man ran after him before he passed Tifa and ran inside the woods.

"I don't think you'll make him go back that easily" Tifa said as Riku ran past her.

"I'll drag his ass back to the car if I have to, you just worry about Xion!" Riku said as he chased Roxas into the woods.

He forced himself to run fast, but he remembered Roxas had always escaped him when they were running and when Roxas was still an Everto. There was no point in hiding any more, Roxas was going to find out soon anyways and Riku jumped into the air, shoving off his jacket as he did and he left it fall in the snowy forest floor

Roxas stopped running when he heard the distinct sound of clothe being ripped apart and he looked back just in time to see Riku ram onto him and tackle him into the snow. Once they were still he looked up shocked at Riku before looking at the white wings in the silver haired man's back in horror. And his eyes, he knew it, it hadn't been a trick, and Riku's eyes had turned golden-walnut!

"I told you to stay in the car" Riku said. "It was better if you had, cause I wouldn't have done this, but I guess its better this way"

Roxas swallowed hard before Riku got up and pulled him up.

"What are you?!" Roxas said, backing away from him scared, feeling his heartbeat in his throat.

"Isn't it obvious?" Riku said flashing his white angel wings to Roxas. "I'm an angel"

"Did you have to do that to the poor kid?" Roxas heard Tifa's voice coming from behind a tree as she appeared carrying her case and Riku's jacket.

"It was the only way to stop him" Riku said walking over to Tifa who tossed him back his jacket as his wings disappeared in a cloud of feathers that were blown away by the wind and then faded into nothingness.

"Don't worry Roxas, we're not going to do anything to you" Tifa assured him, "we're just trying to keep you safe"

"Safe?" Roxas inquired, still keeping a distance from where the two angels, looking at Tifa's eyes that had gone from their red color to the same as Riku's. "From what?"

"Tifa don't say anything else, we don't have much time if they sent Sora after us" Riku rushed and Tifa nodded, setting the case down on the snow and opening it.

Sora…that same sounded familiar to him, but Roxas couldn't remember from where. He couldn't think much of it, he was distracted by the ivory horn Tifa had brought out from her case and was holding with both hands.

It looked majestic, and it had the same pattern of clouds that were on Riku's mirror.

"You better cover your ears Roxas" Tifa said.

Roxas did so and watched as Tifa took a mouth full of air and blew the horn. His ears screamed in pain when she did so, its loud wail echoing all around the trees. He couldn't believe how loud the thing was; its wail pierced his eardrums and drove him nuts. It was so strong and so powerful Roxas had never heard anything like it. Then it stopped and he looked at Tifa shocked. That girl either had a good set of lugs or that was the way that horn was supposed to sound like…though he was sure it was the later one; Tifa didn't look dizzy from blowing the horn after all

"What was that?" Roxas said, un plugging his ears, remembering he had had his earphones on and was surprised that even his those and his hands on his ears he had nearly been left deaf. "You nearly blew my head off"

"We're calling a friend of us Roxas, you'll meet her soon" Riku said as he helped the blonde up. "But right now we need to go; we'll explain everything in the car"

"I guess that's why you're used to cold weather" Roxas said as he watched Riku put back his jacked over his shredded shirt.

"Not really," Riku said as he closed the front of his shirt. "I really can't feel cold or warm"

Roxas gave a sigh, knowing there was going to be a long explanation on their way to Xion's house.

Whoa, Riku just showed what he really is to Roxas, now we'll have to see how he'll react to his little brother Sora. If you haven't figured it out or incase I did a mistake and explained it wrong or backwards, Sora is the smallest one between Roxas and Ven and Ven is the oldest of the three, so that leaves Roxas as the one in the middle.

Well, we have the last brother….now Sora is after Riku and Roxas and things will go down hill from here on in, wonder how thing will turn out in the end now.

Tell me what you think guys, I really appreciate that.
