/Roxas' Apartment, 8:30 pm/

Beep Beep Beep

"A person can't take a peaceful bath without interruptions?" Axel's husky voice said leaving the smoky bathroom with only a white towel tied around his hips. He took his black mobile from the bureau in Roxas' room.

"It's Axel." The twenty one years old boy said running a hand through his wet mane of fiery red hair, eyes fixed on the night sky reflected in the window.

"Where have you been eight?"

"Saix? To which I owe the honor of your call?"

"Answer the question." The blue haired man said flatly.

"Traverse Town until thirteen called me and said he needed my help."

"May I know exactly with what?" Saix annoyed voice said.

"He didn't tell you when you called him today?" Axel replied smartly.

"I'm just confirming if what he said is true."

"I'm helping with some issues, nothing to do with you seven"

"By the way, did you tell him about your debt?"

Axel's body got tensed, tightening the grip around the phone. "That's none of your business especially since that debt is gone. I told you Saix, the reason I'm still in this organization is because Roxas and nothing more, so what I do or not it's my problem as I'm free man, got it memorized?" He said harshly.

"You may be free but long as you are in the organization whatever your reason you still must report." Saix told him matter-of-fact.

"..."

"I know what you intend... you're playing with fire, Axel."

"How lucky to be a pyromaniac." He said cutting the call with a devilish smirk.

"I don't believe he knows still it'll be better to be cautious and tie up some loose ends." Axel thought. His green eyes showed a cold and determined glow.

The sound of the door opening distracted the redhead of his thoughts and saw a blond boy watching from the doorway.

"Hey where you've been Rox?" Axel's demeanor changed completely from unpleasant and threatening to a calm and content.

"Hunting with Namine... mind you get some clothes?" Roxas said throwing him a pair of pants that were on the floor.

"I didn't know that my hot body embarrassed you." He retorted smugly catching the jeans.

"Oh shut up!"

"So how was your hunting? Did she help you?"

Roxas breathed heavily sitting on his bed. "...She was kind of useful but she still needs more training also I'm thinking teach her how to use a keyblade."

"If you're going to lend her one of your keyblades then you surely saw something in her, maybe talent?" Axel said nudging him on the shoulder teasingly.

"Of course not! It's just annoying to have to take care of her when I'm trying to kill as many heartless also is good that she knows how to protect herself." The blond said taking off his black shirt and sneakers.

"Rox, how much time you have before the deadline?"

"Little more than three months. What about you?"

"Three months... you still have some time." Axel said evading the question.

"Why didn't you answer the question, Axel?" Roxas asked suspicious.

"It's late and you must be tired, go to sleep and we can talk tomorrow morning." The redhead said leaving the dim lighted bedroom.

"Wait Axel-"

"Tomorrow Roxas." Axel left the room abruptly leaving a wary Roxas glaring at the door.


After an emotional reunion with her parents at the airport of Radiant Garden Namine sent Roxas a quick message saying that she couldn´t train because she was going to spend the weekend with her parents. He said it was okay but she would have to train twice as long to recover the time they had lost.

Upon reaching their lovely house that was surprisingly clean and quiet Penelo swooped over the teen and refused to release her "baby" because - according to her - she hadn't seen her for two long weeks and missed her too much meanwhile Vaan was engaged observing his wife and daughter with amusement .

"Mom I love you but I really need to breathe." Namine told her mother trying to escape her suffocating embrace.

"No way! I haven't seen you in a long time Namine and I have to catch up, that's my duty as a mother." Penelo said, embracing her more tightly against her chest.

"I think your primary duty as a mother is not choking, literally, your daughter love." Vaan approached his wife and putting a hand on her arm for her to release the girl.

"Thanks dad." Namine told grateful to her father after feeling the air entering in her lungs.

"Ooh come on, I wasn't embracing you that strong." Her mother said with a pout.

"Yes, you were." Namine retorted matter-of-fact rubbing her neck.

"Okay what do you think if we go out to eat somewhere?" Vaan suggested them with a huge smile.

"Let's go to 'Seven Heaven'!" Namine exclaimed with a huge grin.

"Excellent I won't have to cook!" Penelo said with the same effusiveness as her daughter.

Namine's mother could behave as carefree as a little kid but that was one of the qualities that the blonde loved of her mother since she preferred a million times she was that way instead of a strict and boring mother.

The three left the house and went to a cafe-restaurant called 'Seventh Heaven'. The owner, Tifa Lockheart, was an old friend of her mother and father and Penelo didn't have time or just didn't feel like cooking they would eat there.

When they reached the restaurant they greeted Tifa from the entrance, walked to their usual table and ordered their food. Shortly after the family were enjoying their meal while chatting animately.

"How was school Namine? Did something interesting happen while we were off. "Vaan asked as he cut a piece of his steak.

"Umm nothing new. Classes were normal like the breaks, perhaps the most interesting thing was that Xion almost fainted while the teacher drawn some blood from Tidus finger for the practice with the microscopes in biology about a week ago but otherwise there is nothing." Namine told while a smirk made its way in the girl's face after remembering Xion's pale face.

"Poor Xion, she has always had problems with the blood. Did you remember when you cut your finger with the razor of your chalks? "Penelo said taking a sip from her Coke.

"Yeah, Xion ran out of my room and locked herself in the bathroom until I told her that there was no blood in sight!" Namine and her mom busted in a fit of giggles while Vaan just listened trying to contain his own laugh.

Suddenly Namine's phone started to vibrate with an incoming call; the blonde took the little device from the pocket of her brown jacket and saw that was an unknown number. She excused herself from the table and walked into the hallway where the bathrooms and public phones were and answered.

"He-Hello?" The blonde answered the call expectantly

"Blondie, it's Axel."

"How did you get my number Axel?"

"I take it from Roxas' phone, now I need you to listen carefully all that I say and then do it, got it memorized?"

"And why if may I know...?" Namine asked him warily. It wasn't that she didn't trust him but it was better to be cautious after all.

"Just do me this favor okay?"

"... Fine."

"I must go to a place for a while, if all goes as I planned it I'll be back in a week." He said in a serious tone.

"Where are you going?" Curiosity dripping from the blonde girl's voice.

"That's not important, what I need you to do is to tell Roxas that I went out of town for a few days and I'll be back soon also tell him that we'll discuss everything when I return."

"Eh? And why do I have to tell him? Isn't it a lot easier if you talk to him or send him a message yourself? "

"Just do what I say. See you and thanks blondie."

"I didn't... wait-" Namine began to say but Axel was gone.

"That coward bastard! And now what I'm supposed to do?" She thought sighing and keeping her phone before returning to the table where her parents continued eating.

"Who was dear?" Penelo asked worried after seeing the expression on her daughter's face.

"A friend of a... friend who wanted to do him a favor, nothing important." Namine said stabbing a piece of carrot with her fork.

The girl's parents saw her worriedly for a few moments more until eventually they returned to their conversation paying no more attention to the strange phone called her daughter received. If something was wrong with Namine she will tell them or that's what they thought at least.


"Okay now that Roxas' matter is solved it's time to move to the next thing in the list." Axel said keeping his black phone on his jeans pocket.

He was on a gas station near the freeway of Radiant Garden and since he was going to be off just a week or so the male only had a little black bag with the basic travel things like his toothbrush or spare clothes with him.

"The question now is... where do I find a blonde and crazy hellcat?" the redhead thought before climbing on his deep red motorcycle and starting the engine. "Whatever let's just pay a visit to her old place maybe she's still there."

The motor roared once he started to accelerate more and more, if he continued with this pace he surely was going to arrive to his destination in less than a day.

Axel loved two things in this whole world and they were, first the fire and its intensity, he loved it to the extent that he just wanted to fire up everything in his way but he knew too well that he couldn't, the second thing he loved was the speed and god his motorcycle gave him enough speed to satisfy him.

"Damn I love this." the male exclaimed at the feeling of the air passing through his fiery red mane.


Meanwhile Axel yelled ecstatic a girl with fair hair was yelling too but for a different reason.

"Ahhhh! How the hell I'm supposed to do this?" Namine yelled in frustration scratching her head furiously.

Since she received Axel's call she had been thinking on the best way to tell the blond demon - Roxas - that his best friend who was supposedly here to help him with her training just left the city for a week - or more - and for who knows what reason.

Namine threw herself on her bed lying on her stomach with her phone on her hand burying her head in her pillow. She knew she had three options. One: called him and explain him everything that axel told her and surely as hell got a good rant from him. Two: text him everything that axel said and finally number three: wait until Monday to tell him.

"I can't wait until Monday but call him would be... weird. I guess the message would be the safest option... maybe..." She sat cross-legged on her bed and opened her phone ready to send the message.

"But... what I'm supposed to say? Ahh damn Axel!" Namine said in frustration throwing one of her lilac pillows to the wall across her pulling the clock that hung there.

"Nami, is everything okay up there?" Penelo asked from the first floor after she heard a loud noise from her daughter's room.

"Yes mom, don't worry!" the blonde girl replied quickly with a nervous laugh at the end. "Okay Namine just let's send the damn text and finish with this already." She said determined to write it right away.

She started typing quickly on the keyboard of her little baby blue phone. On her face was a frown and she was biting lightly her bottom lip, this was a sign that she was concentrating. A few minutes passed since the girl stopped typing and now was just looking plainly at the white screen.

/Hey Roxas, Axel called me 2day & told me that he was going to be off a few days & when he comes back u & he can talk… that's all, bye./

"Isn't it a little direct?" she thought sighing tiredly. "It will be better if I tell him when I see him in chemistry." The girl said thinking in deleting the message.

Suddenly her mom opened the door abruptly startling Namine and making her pushed the "send" button by mistake. "Nami want to see a movie or something?" The blonde woman asked her from the doorframe.

"Eh?" Namine first looked at her mom with a shocked expression then at the screen that had the sentence "message sent" with bold letters and then again at her mom. "Ehhhhhhh!"

"Why did you shout? If you don't want just tell me." Penelo replied displeased with Namine's bad manners.

"I didn't shout for the movie it's that you-" Namine tried to explain her mom but she was interrupted by the sound of her phone.

"Just answer it. I'll be downstairs if you want to watch the movie with me." The woman said before closing the door behind her.

Namine held her phone for several minutes without knowing if it was a good idea to answer it or not. At the end she picked it up.

"he-hello?"

"Namine?" A certain boy's voice said at the other side of the line.

"Oh hey Roxas what happen?" The blonde girl tried to sound casual but failed doing so.

"You sent me a text, when did you saw Axel?" He was curious because when he woke up Axel was already gone.

"I di-didn't saw him actually, he called me when I was in a restaurant with my parents." The girl scratched her cheek nervously.

"What exactly did he told you?"

"Umm he-he said that he was going to leave Radiant Garden for a bit and when he comes back you can talk with him..."

"That's all?" Roxas asked her eager.

"….yeah"

"I see, that bastard is always doing what he wants." He muttered annoyed at his friend sudden trip.

"Ehh Roxas?" Namine started hesitant.

"What?"

"Is that all that you called for?"

"Yeah thanks Namine, see you at school."

"You're welcome, see you Roxas." After that both teens ended the call.

Namine sighed in relief lying in her bed face up. "That was... better than I had expected, at least he didn't yell. Well let's see that movie!" She murmured, closing her eyes before standing up and heading to the living room where her mom and dad had already begun to see the movie sitting on the couch with a bowl of popcorn.
