**Just in case you are wondering what story you are reading, this story formerly holds the title 'The Little Merman'
CHAPTER 6
-Roxas's POV-
My jaw fell to the floor, pass through and went into the core. I can't believe this… it was when I went to the lowerland alone, and saw Sora talking to Kairi outside her house like… like friends! No offence but, when the heck they get to know each other, without my notification on top of it? And Kairi seems so happy with Sora, laughing at every lame joke he made (I don't remember laughing at any one of them.). The point is, he hide from me, the master! You're so going to get it, Sora. I walked over to them and let out a small cough.
"Oh, Roxas, when were you here?" shoot! Sora, not my name! Sora jumped, "uhh, I can explain-"
"Roxas?" Kairi raised an eyebrow, "you don't mean-" oh my god I am on fire.
"Of course NOT!" I slapped Sora at the back so hard that he flew and crashed to a nearby tree. "I am not Prince Roxas from Kingdom Hearts, that's just plain stupid." Haha, very funny.
"Um… yeah…okay, he can't have the possibility of coming down anyway." Kairi laughed and help Sora up. "You should have told me you have a friend named Roxas, Sora."
"Sorry, Kairi. You've got my greatest apologies." Sora chuckled and bowed. Sora, two words: you're fricking helpless…
"Geez, Sora. You sounded like a noble." Kairi commented, with me shooting dagger eyes at Sora.
"Anyway Kairi," I found myself asking without knowing it myself, "is Axel home?"
"Oh… nope. He's with Riku, over at the clock tower at Twilight Town. They are staying there for a while."
Damn… now I feel like going over, not that I have something to do at the palace anyway. I looked over at Sora for a while. What? Am I interrupting their dates? Sora seems to be able to read my mind as he gave me a small nod. EXCUSE ME?
"Sorry Roxas, I might be going home a bit… late today. Please tell Demyx about it when you get home, 'Kay?" Great… now I am a messenger…
Twilight Town is really something… this is my first time here, and it was… a very interesting town. Okay, how do I end up here again? Ha, who knows, I was sure going towards Kingdom Hearts but my feet doesn't listen, not my fault. I walked around for a bit, checking out something in the town, and arrived at a station plaza. I looked up and saw a very tall tower soaring towards the sky. A big clock implanted in it. So this is the clock tower…
It took forever for me to get up to the top floor, but it was worth it. I mean, by the time I reached up, the sun has already begun to set; leaving it in the reddest colour it is in. I wondered if anyone realized I was missing from the palace, since I sneaked out at dawn when Leon is still asleep so he won't be able to spy on me. I planned to return by sunset so it's not a big deal. I walked and turned at a corner, and quickly pulled myself back, almost falling off from the high altitude. It was him, Axel with another silver haired man who Kairi said it was Riku, I think. What should I do? Just look at him from here and quickly ran down when they decided to call it a day? Sounds like a plan! Whoa!
"Who're you?" A man grabbed my collar from behind. Not… good. Riku and Axel both turned their attention to the man's voice and well, Axel spotted me, just great… I turned around to curse at whoever that grabbed and revealed me. It was a man with brown hair, wearing a black pant, and a white tank top, with a red rose tucked behind his left ear.
"Uhh… I-"
"Ro?" Axel called. "Is that you?"
"Hi Axel." I tried to make it as casual as possible, but my voice ends up being a bit shaky.
"Told you guys he's is real!" Axel stood up and went over to me, while handing some money to the cursed man. "Terra, you know what to do."
"Yeah, shoo, shoo…" Riku waved his hand, motioning for Terra to go away. Terra took the money, gave Riku a small peck on the face (which Riku quickly rubbed it off with his sleeve), and went away. Axel gets me to sit down beside him, enjoying the setting sun scenery.
"Hey Ro, do you know why the sun set is red?" Axel asked, that was completely out from nowhere. I silently shook my head as he continued, "Because among all the colours, red travels the furthest."
"Know it all, don't you?" I laughed, followed by Riku then Axel himself. Terra come back a while later, bringing 4 bars of blue-ish colour stuff. It was very cold, I wonder what it is. We don't have these in Kingdom Hearts…
"Hey Ro," I turned to Axel; he was licking it for god's sake! "It's melting, Ro. What were you waiting for?"
"Uhh… this is edible? You lick it?" I asked, earning strange looks from everyone.
"Ro… you never had ice-cream before don't you?" Axel looked at me like it was the strangest thing ever, "Get a life…"
"Sorry for being such a loser there…" I spat. Axel put his hand on my shoulder, ""Sorry, no offence… but we're friends now, right? I could show you around at things you don't know about, since I am much older than you."
"Really? But you're wearing school uniform."
"I am the most famous student in my school-" I choked on my cold bar. "-at repeating a grade. Riku and Terra here are in the same grade like me, except I am three years older. "
"O...kay..." I was out of words to say. I mean... Lea had always passed his studies with top grade. How could the one that resembles him, Axel, is a repeater? Wait... did the sun just set? Oh, gosh!
"Sorry, Axel, I am going to go now, thanks for the cold bar and I will come back some time soon." I called as I stood up and run all the way down. We'll meet again, wouldn't we? With that thought on my mind, I ran all the way back to Kingdom Hearts smiling like idiot.
### (Meanwhile… in the palace of Neitherland.)
"Ahahahahahahahaha! Too easy, too easy!" Larxene exclaimed, her evil high pitched voice sent Ienzo's and Isa's tea cup onto the ground. Larxene was staring into her magic mirror that she use to spy on Roxas. "The little prince Roxas is in love with a lowerlander, is that the only challenge you had for me, cloud?"
"What should we do, Queen Larxene?" Ienzo asked. She shot him a glare then lost in thought for a while. "Well, time to get you kids work out. Find a way to bring Roxas to me."
"You are not going to get him yourself?" Isa asked. "After all, he is your-"
"Silence or I will make you." Larxene turned so her back is facing Isa and Ienzo. "I wish not to step back into that cursed land of Kingdom Heart, until my fourteen members gathered. Now go."

-Back to Roxas's PoV-
Humming, I went all the way into my private base, planning to place my newly treasure there, the remaining stick of the cold bar I ate, with 'winner' printed on it. I don't know what it means, but I guessed I will ask Axel if I meet him again.
"What's the meaning of this?" King Cloud called, I turned and gasped. What? How did dad know about my secret base? It must be Leon... now what am I going to do? Maybe I can-
"I ASKED, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF ALL OF THIS?" Dad called again. I shivered, but didn't back down. Leon was behind Cloud, head facing the ground, accompany by his son Demyx. Things are getting worse when I saw the key blade is in Dad's hand. "This is... I can explain..."
"No, you can't. You had been collecting too many junks from the lower land and I heard that you even rescued a lowerlander from dead!"
"But dad! He could have died!"
"One less lowerlander to worry about!"
"You wouldn't understand! Those miners are working so hard for us just because of a puny sum of munnies they are able to receive. They even mine in the night." I know because I stalked on them, I had seen it with my own eyes how hard Axel works…
"Listen Roxas, you are not in the position of able get out from Kingdom Hearts and you are NOT allowed to give a damn care of those lowerlander! You got me?"
"But daddy, I love him!" I gasped, backing away; I had let it slipped out of me. Dad stood there, motionless, until he raised his keyblade and pointed it towards the poor little fragments with name tag on them, my treasures…
"Roxas, you may find this cruel, but it's the only way for me to get you out from all this madness."
"No daddy, please. No!" a jolt of lighting shot out of dad's Keyblade and straight towards a loud crash. I run over to dad and tried to stop him destroying all my precious collections but as most part of the base is destroyed, dad now had his attention on the portrait at the back of the wall. I realized this, but it was… too late. He scattered it with a lighting spell. No…. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Unable to believe my eyes, my legs gave out as I slid to the ground. Tears rolling out freely from my eyes and I don't care. None of this matter anymore, none!
Dad seems to trying to comfort me as he put a hand on my shoulder but I shake it off, I don't need comfort form the one that makes me feel like this in the first place. He took one last glance at me and left the room.
"Roxas?" Leon walked over to me. "I-"
"J-just go away." I hiccupped. Leon left, Demyx stood at the doorway, unmoved. He didn't know if he were to follow his dad and go, or find ways to make me feel better. My world feels so betrayed. By now, the only thing that is left in that room is me with a snapped cold bar stick in my hand. I wished, Axel is here now, with the cold bar he called sea salt ice-cream extended out from his hand for me… where are you when I need you… Axel…?
