The three boys looked at the grey house that police cars were swarmed around. They saw there Uncle being dragged out of the house, he was screaming to know what the charges were, when he sent a death glare at Roxas and Sora. They gulped. Roxas hoped desperately that he had life in prison, so he could never get in their way again. They knocked on the door when Kairi answered it with the said duffle bag in hand.
"Forget this," she said tossing it to Roxas who insictively caught it. Sora blushed madly looking at the ground. Kairi smiled when see saw the reaction. Roxas again bit his lip as Hayner was trying to put two and two together.
"Thanks Kairi," Sora mumbled.
"Hi, I'm Kairi," she said holding her hand out for Hayner to shake.
"Hayner," he told her shaking her hand.
"I see that you finally did something about your Uncle. Where you guys staying," Kairi asked as if it was a every day question, well technically it was. They pointed at Hayner and she nodded.
"We've got to go, mom will be having supper soon, and she'll be made if we aren't home by that time, well, let's go," Hayner said pulling Sora as Roxas followed. They waved good bye to Kairi as they walked down the dust road.
"What's your moms name anyway," Sora asked after they were in Twilight Town and headed back to the house.
"Alice," Hayner answered.
"What's going to happen when we can't stay with you any more," the youngest twin asked not looking Hayner in the eye.
"I can't predict the future, nut I do know mom won't just kick you off on the street. Didn't you say you had a brother," Hayner asked thinking about it.
"Riku, sure, but we don't know where he is," Roxas reminded him. Then there was a silence.
"Who' the oldest out of you two again," Hayner stunned the two brunette's with that random question.
"I was, by two minutes why," Sora answered giving the boy a funny glare.
"You two are named after each other," Hayner explained. That completely confused the brother. "Think about it, the letter S-O-R-A is also in Roxas only with an X added," Hayner explained again. The twins looked at each other. They never thought of it that way.
"Mom told me I was named after dad even though I didn't get how you got Roxas out of Xemnas, guess it was the X thing," Roxas thought out loud. They rest of the way to the house was in silence. After that little discovery it made Roxas think more about hi name. Riku was the one who looked more like their dad than either of the twins. So why was it that the one that Roxas, the one that looked least like their father was named after him?
"Get what you needed," Alice asked as they walked through the door.
"Yes," Hayner told her..
"You boys wash up for supper," Alice told them and they headed toward the bedroom.
After they ate Alice told them they had to get in the bed. Like a real mom, A REAL MOM! Roxas lay there staring at the dark ceiling. Sora and Roxas had figured out a secret about Hayner, he snored.
Great, I'll never get any sleep with these two around, Roxas thought. He started thinking about where he and Sora would go tomorrow, they probably couldn't stay around here, and maybe they could go back to their mother, if she was able to take care of them.
"Roxas," Sora was the one who pulled him out of his thoughts.
"Yeah,"
"Do you remember what Riku said the day that he got sent away again?"
"Sure, he said that he would come back for us as soon as he could,"
"So, do you think that they'll find him and he'll come and get us,"
"Maybe, we just have to figure something out. I don't know how long they will keep Uncle in jail but we can't be around here when he gets out." Roxas thought about that scene for a second and he shuttered. He would kill them for sending him to jail. Roxas knew that they would want them for the trial. He was walking evidence that his Uncle was evil. Oh, goody. Roxas felt his eyes slip slower and slower down until he was asleep, listening to the wonderful orchestra pf snoring.

"Roxas wake up," The distant voice told Roxas he just ignored it.
"Don't make us use force," another voice warned. When Roxas ignored this one he heard footsteps leading away from his bed. He smiled, that is until he heard the two boys scream a battle scream. Roxas' eyes flew open and when he saw that Hayner and his brother was only a few feet away from away form his bed he jumped out of the bed. He winced as he had forgotten about the bruise on his back. He landed on the floor and stumbled to keep up on his feet. He turned to see Sora and Hayner had hit the wall instead of him. He couldn't help but laugh; until he saw the blonde and his twin stumble to their feet and charge after Roxas again. He shot toward the stairs, slid down the rail, and landed…right in front of a woman tapping her foot. Sora and Hayner's footsteps seized half way down the stairs when they saw the blonde woman.
"Roxas, you don't need to be running around like that, your still hurt," her tone surprised the twins. They had expected to get yelled at, but her tone was soft and caring. "Lets go take a look at those cuts, Sora, Hayner, there is some breakfast in the kitchen," She told them. They nodded and headed off toward the kitchen. They walked down the hall back into the painful white room.
"I thought that this was Hayner's cousin's room," Roxas thought out loud.
"Yes, well it is, but only when she comes to town. She normally lives on Destiny Islands with here mom and dad," she explained as Roxas fell back on the bed. The bruise had healed a great deal since the day before. The cut looked like it was going to heal in about five to six weeks, if he was lucky, but it was going to leave a scar. The bruise on his shoulder didn't look as bad either. After Alice told him to take it easy, she sent him to the kitchen to eat with the others.
"Well, you good," Hayner asked taking a bite of cereal. Roxas got him some and sat down by them.
"What was with the Calvary trying to wake me up," Just as Roxas asked that a wide grin spread across each of their faces.
"We weren't planning on you moving, and us running into the wall," Sora said rubbing his forehead. It was a little red from were they had hit the wall, and Roxas had not been a part of it. He was the one being attacked in this case.
"More like slamming into the wall," Hayner corrected.
-x-x-x-
"Let's go meet up with Axel and Demyx," Roxas suggested as they headed down the walk Sora nodded but Hayner got a hard look on his face.
"What's the matter with you," Sora asked the blonde.
" Axel and Demyx aren't my two faveritate people in the world," Hayner shifted his gaze to the ground.
"What do you mean," Roxas told the boy. He looked a little bit more relaxed.
"Come on their not bad guys. Sure, Axel is a little obsessed with fire, and Demyx bit me one time when I tried to take his cookie, but they're nice guys," Sora reassured him Which it earned a smirk from Roxas, he remembered when Demyx bit him, Sora and Demyx was on one the worst things in the world for them, a sugar rush. Sora wanted a cookie and mullet head had ten. When Sora tried to swipe the last one, Demyx bit him. What a colorful past they had.
"I'm not going, I'll meet up with you guys at the house tonight. I have to go meet Pence and Olette" Hayner said with a little enthusiasm. When Seifer turned the corner and ran straight into Sora. Well, this day is already going well.
"Watch it, shorty," Seifer told Sora who was rubbing the back of his head (amazing no one in this story has gotten a concuction yet) and he stumbled to his feet.
"Why don't you," Sora retorted. The hit hadn't even shook Seifer.
"You going to do something about it," Seifer asked with an evil smirk.
"What if I do," Sora was furious. Where in the crap had that came from?
"You couldn't if you tried. You always got to hide behind big brother Roxas," Seifer teased
"He's older moron," Roxas shot at Seifer.
"I heard that the police showed up at your house last night. Mommy bail you out," Seifer barely got that out before Sora was on top of him, punching him as hard as he could. Seifer couldn't dodge any of the punches and everyone there was except Sora himself was shocked. Roxas wasn't shocked at his strength, he had seen it a thousand times, but it was how quick his brother had just picked a fight, started it, and it looked like he was about to finish it. Roxas heard sirens and realized that they had been fighting for about ten minutes and someone had most likely called the police. Roxas drug the brunette off Seifer, but not without getting punched in the face first. He was going to get Sora for that later. They ran down an alley and headed towards where they knew that Axel and Demyx would be. The Junkyard.
-x-x-x-
"Where were you two. Everbodies saying that the police was at your house last night," Axel said as the twins walked through the entrance to the junkyard. Man was everybody thinking that they had got sent to jail. Hopefully not.
"Well," Demyx chimed in.
"Our Uncle go in trouble," Sora told them, hoping that they wouldn't dig deeper into the subject.
"With what, drugs," Demyx asked looking over the two boys.
"Sure,"
"Let's go with that,"
"What are we going to do, since we're out of school then we can't do anything to upset big head in the office. So what else is there to do," Axel asked changing the subject.
"Well, I don't have any ideas," Roxas told them sitting on top of an old car.
"Why don't we go to the one place I've always wanted to go," Demyx offered.
"Where would that be, Cookie Land," a wide sirk spread across Axel's face.
"No, well yes, but that's not the place I was talking about," Dmryx thought for a second
"Fine, we give, where are we going," Roxas said with a shrug.
"Destiny Islands,"
