" There is nothing more I can do for him, I'm sorry," the healer said

" There is nothing more I can do for him, I'm sorry," the healer said. Axel slumped his shoulders in defeat. They had been there for 3 days and Axel had made the healer try everything from smelling salts to jumping out of nowhere and yelling BOO to try and get Roxas to wake up.

"Just take him home, Prince Axel," the woman said as she turned to walk off. Axel widened his eyes in surprise. "You know who I am?"

"I visited the castle once, about ten years ago, and you are the only child I know to have bright red hair," the woman said, slightly smiling. Then she walked down the hallways to her room.

Axel chuckled and turned back to Roxas' room. He walked inside and sat down beside Roxas' bed and sighed. "Well Roxy, looks like it's not going to be a happily ever after, after all."

--

The next day Axel thanked the healer and got into the carriage, where Roxas laid inside. As the carriage started to move, Axel sighed. The trip took almost two days because they stopped to rest for the night.

During the time, King Ansem and Roxas' personal servant, Auron, arrived at the castle of the Silver Kingdom.

"Old friend, I'm glad you made it safely," Sephiroth said, greeting Ansem.

"Have you heard any news?" Ansem asked as they walked to the parlor.

"Not yet, but I have sent messengers to the next two towns in every direction," Sephiroth said.

"How did I not foresee this? I was so wrapped up in what was right for my kingdom, that I could not see my own son was in pain," Ansem said.

"No one could see that this was going to happen. We both have been ignoring our sons," Sephiroth said, sitting down in a chair.

"How have you ignored your children?" Ansem asked curious, and sitting down as well.

Sephiroth sighed. "I knew the arrangement made Riku unhappy. He's been trying to get me to call it off ever since he found out about it. I think it's because he's fallen for his best friend."

"Him too eh?" Ansem asked, chuckling slightly.

Sephiroth nodded and then said, "I don't know why it never occurred to me that Axel cared about Roxas so much."

"I'm sure we could come to a new arrangement," Ansem suggested.

Sephiroth grinned.

As they rode through town towards the castle, Axel dreaded facing his father. When they arrived at the castle, the sight Axel saw made him shrink back in fear. Auron was waiting outside the castle doors.

The carriage stopped and one of the guards opened the door.

"Good afternoon Prince Axel," Auron said.

Axel recomposed himself and stepped out of the carriage. "Auron," he replied, nodding his head.

As soon as Axel stepped out of the way, Auron pushed past him and looked in the carriage.

"What did you do?" Auron demanded, as he turned around to face Axel.

"I didn't do anything," Axel stated, backing away.

Auron glared and quickly turned around to gather Roxas in his arms. Auron walked past Axel, not even giving him a second glance. Axel sighed and followed. As soon as they entered the castle, Sephiroth, Aerith, and King Ansem were in the hallway. Aerith ran to Axel and hugged him.

"Oh Axel, I'm so glad you're safe," Aerith said.

"It's okay mom," Axel said, hugging his mother back.

Aerith pulled away and then yelled, "Never do that to me again! Do you have any idea how worried I was?"

"I'm sorry?" Axel said, as a question, as he cowered away from his mother's wrath.

"You better be young man, now tell us what happened," Aerith said, calming down to her normal self. Axel quickly recapped what happened since he and Roxas had left the castle.

"And I don't know what else to do," Axel finished.

"I'm not sure either. Maybe Riku could help when he gets back from looking for Sora," Sephiroth stated.

Ansem quickly looked at Sephiroth at the sound of his dead son's name.

"What do you mean looking for Sora?" Axel asked confused.

"I'm not sure of the details, but Cloud, Leon, and Riku went looking for Sora. He's been missing for a few days now," Sephiroth stated.

Axel sighed deeply.

"Do you know something son?" Sephiroth asked.

"It's possible that he ran away because…" Axel stated, feeling worse as he went on.

"Because?" Sephiroth asked, in a demanding tone.

"I told him about Roxas being Riku's fiancée and Sora knew nothing of it," Axel finished, looking at the ground.

Sephiroth sighed. " That wasn't your fault Axel. It was Riku's choice on whether or not he told Sora."

"I know, but…" Axel started to say, when Sephiroth held up his hand to stop him from speaking.

"It doesn't matter now. I'm sure Riku has found him and they're on their way back. Besides, King Ansem and I have come up with an alternative arrangement," Sephiroth finished.

Axel looked at his father confused.

Leon rode with Riku quickly through the forest. When he ended up at the road, he realized they were at a different location than where they had originally started. It seemed that because of the magic in the cave, it moved around and everything within the close vicinity of the cave went with it. Leon guessed it would probably be a two days ride to the castle. He sighed and grabbed a potion out of his pack. He gave it to Riku, since the trip was going to take much longer than what was originally planned; then he took off in the direction of the castle. As they were riding, Leon's thoughts kept drifting to his lover. He had a feeling Cloud didn't do what he was told. 'But when has he ever?' Leon thought. Riku started to mumble, delirious.

"Sora…" Riku mumbled.

"Riku, it's Leon. Can you hear me?" Leon asked the prince.

"I'm sorry, Sora," Riku mumbled again, a look of pain flashing across his face.

Leon sighed and said, "It's okay Riku."

Riku smiled slightly and said, "Love you."

Leon wasn't really surprised because he knew Riku always had a thing for Sora. 'But it will sure be good information to use in the future,' Leon smirked.

Cloud tracked Sora to the road and then he could no longer see the trail.

'Which way did he go?' Cloud asked himself. 'Well, one-way leads back to town and the other leads to the Gemini Kingdom. I'm going to a chance and go to the next kingdom.' Cloud started down the road in hopes he had chosen the right way.

'What light? What are you talking about,' Sora asked.

'I'm talking about you. The real you. The you who used to accept people as they were, even if they were mean to you. The you who loved life, not this, this soldier that was created,' the voice stated.

'How do you know so much about me anyways?' Sora asked, suspiciously.

'I'm in your head remember. And why are you even listening to that maniac anyways?' the voice asked, somewhat angry.

'Because he showed me the truth. Riku lied to me and then he forgot about me to marry that…that ugh! Again, remind me why I'm speaking to you?' Sora asked, frustrated.

'For entertainment, you're bored,' the voice stated, sound like it was smirking.

'Meh,' Sora said, 'I can find other sources of entertainment besides talking to you.'

'Oh yeah? Prove it,' the voice said.

Sora thought for a moment and then said, 'I would, but we've arrived.'

So I know that people were out of character, but that's mostly how it's been the whole time...so forgive me plz. Please review and again I'm sorry it took me so long to post. Later!
