Aoi Hyoudou: Axel is one of the best characters in the KH universe. Or…should I say Lea now that he's back to normal and he's a Keyblade wielder? Anyway, enjoy!

Axel.
He was his best friend, second only to Larxene. While he enjoys messing around and acts like a smart-ass at times, he was the one person Xhäs could always count on and look up to for guidance.
They were 'brothers', not only in battle, but as a family.
"This brings back memories, doesn't it Xhäs?" Axel asked with folded arms.
Atop of Sunset Hill, they were gazing at the beautiful sunset in the distance.
"Yeah..." Xhäs's lips slowly curled into a small smile, reminiscing the good old days before and after he joined Organization XIII. "I can't believe it's been five years since that day when we first met." Axel smirked in amusement.
"That long, huh? I still can't believe I was able to put up with you for all those years."
"Hey! I should be the one who should be saying that! Dealing with you isn't cakewalk, either!"
They shared a laugh.
"Do you think it's going to stay like this, Axel? You know, with Roxas and Xion now part of our little group?" Axel shrugged.
"Who knows? It's hard to say. Knowing Xemnas, we only have three months left before we have to forward with his 'master' plan."
"That short, huh?" Xhäs mumbled as he fell into deep thought momentarily until an idea suddenly popped into his head. "Hey!" He immediately drew his friend's attention. "How about on our next day off, you, me, Larxene, Roxas, and Xion all head out to the beach and enjoy ourselves?" Axel grinned.
"Say, that's not a bad idea." Xhäs matched his grin.
"Then it's a promise."
A/N: A promise, indeed. Too bad, however, it never came to fruition when Xhäs betrayed the group a month later. So sad…Up next is…THAT BASTARD Saïx!
