Idina looked down at the list of 'Casualties' here younger family members had created. All of which would be very expensive. In the Leonhart house hold, each adult was in charge of some aspect. Liza was in charge of cooking, Amy took care of the disaplin, Mike got the kids to and from school, Alena cleaned up the house (she really just made the kids do it), Amanda and Alexis both took care of the pets, and Ana did all the in between and odd jobs. This left Idina with finances. To be honest, if it wasn't for their fund for such occasions, they would be broke, and even that was running low. Idina sighed.

"B-but I like Axel! He LISTENS!" Roxas and Pence both gave Axel very odd looks, a cross between 'wow! that's amazing!' and 'dear god, he must have been in an assylum at one point of his life.

"Listen, I would have told you to shut it, but my voice hasn't been in the best condition lately," Axel croaked out. Sora, near tears at this point, ran over and glomped Axel, who fell down. There was silent fear and panic in Axel's eyes, and Hayner and Riku rushed to pull him off. In the process, Roxas had punched Hayner and Sora latched on to Riku.

"QUITE MANHANDLING MY BROTHER!"

"WELL THEN KEEP HIM FROM MANHANDLING OURS!" The two stood glaring and Sora pulled away from Riku. The bell rang and Riku and Sora left, followed by Pence and Hayner. It was almost mutual. Roxas turned to Axel t tell him to haul ass, but noticed he was still on the ground. He was holding a lighter in his hands, looking at the flame. He sighed, put the lighter away, then began walking to the school, Roxas trailing After.
