~Roxas's POV~
Sheesh. That really agitated me. Damn Axel. That really hurt.
I walked towards my room, speeding my way through. It felt as if every step I made, more blood leaked out. Oh great. Did my wound open? That potion of Xigbar gave me sucked! Probably was one of the cheapest potion I saw in the shop while I was walking around town. Guess I'll just have to waste some of my own.
I eventually reached into my room and went in. I still had my hand on my waist supporting the leak of blood. I closed and locked the door and walked in. I had lots of tissues and bandages lying on the floor from fixing myself to go dinner. It wasn't too messy but the sight wasn't pleasing. I should of cleaned up. Just glad that we didn't go to my room to watch.
I took off my coat, which was stained again with blood along with my shirt. After that, I opened one of my drawers and took out a higher quality potion. Better than that cheapo potion that didn't give much effect. I drank the potion, gulping every second. "Blehh!" My eyes twitched. I really dislike the taste of potions. I started to bandage myself again, taking off the old bandage which was covered with blood. After I'd bandage, I cleaned my room. The effects were effective and working, way better than the other potion.
After I had cleaned my room, I sat on my bed, landing my back on the bed.. "Sigh... a tragedy, huh. That movie... was really sad. And scary." I turned side ways leaning on my left arm. I was really sleepy so my vision started to blur. I closed and rested my eyes and soon fell to sleep.
-DAY 55-
KNOCK KNOCK. KNOCK.
"W-Wah..." I woke up from the sound of door knocking. I was still half a sleep with my eyes half open.
"Roxas, ya there buddy? I'm in big trouble! Open the door!" Demyx cried out, continuously knocking on my door.
I yawned. "Ughh, alright stop knocking already! I'm getting up." Grabbing a new coat to wear, I stretched up. I felt so much better and my wound doesn't hurt as much now.
"Rokuuuuuuuuuuuuuususs!"
"Yeah, yeah I'm opening the door!" I really felt the needs for more rest. I reached for the door knob and opened the door.
As soon as I opened the door, Demyx, with his two hands grabbed my shoulders. "Ugh... so what is this 'trouble'? you speak of? I asked, uninterested.
"It's horrible! The dusks took my Sitar!"
"..." I grabbed his arms and squeezed them tightly. "You woke me up when I could of slept for 2 more hours?! It's 6 a.m!"
"W-Well... yup. I woke up and I found that my Sitar isn't sleeping beside me. I'm pretty sure it was the dusks!" He took his hands back and covered it on his face. "It's sooo terrible!".
Demyx looked like it was his last day on earth.
"Ooh, so they started to target you now? Great! Now I can be put to peace for a while." I smirked. "Don't worry, it's probably hiding around the castle. They did the same thing to me once. You'll find it soon, so just keep searching." I pushed him away from my room.
"T-Target me?! How dare they! Ohh man... alright, I'll go search for my beloved Sitar~!" Demyx ran off in search for his Sitar.
Sigh... all this made me lose my sleepiness. Guess I'll just go head off and eat first. I walked towards the kitchen and found Xemnas there already, eating.
...seriously?! I wanted to step back out but it was too late. His eyes already took sight of me.
I walked nervously. As I took out a plate, I poured cereals and milk. After that, I sat on a different table.
As I was eating, I took glances at him. My table was about 5 meters away and his back was facing me.
So this is the guy I've been training myself to kill... I looked at him with eyes full of hatred. What if I took him on right now while he's eating? Especially when his back is facing towards me, he'd have no idea that I would strike him at any moment. Would I be able to finish him...?
I took another bite, staring at his back. Ugh, I can't decide.
"Roxas." A deep voice coming from him was let out.
"Y-Yes, superior?" I was startled. A drop of sweat came onto my face.
"How are your missions going? Are you troubled with anything?" He turned his neck a bit and looked at me.
"It's... it's going alright. Fine. I'm not troubled with anything." I took a small bite, looking away.
"I see. That's good. If this keeps up, soon Kingdom Hearts will be almost complete." Xemnas stood up and left his plate on the sink. He walked towards the door. "Our dreams are coming closer to coming true. Keep up the good work." He left.
I clenched my spoon. "Tch..." I will definitely won't let you have it your way. The affliction you caused to Xion and Ren... and many other people who has suffered under your influence...! I took another bite, chewing faster.
But then again... what if I had attacked him? What if I was able to defeat him? I let that chance slip up...
As I was close to finishing my cereals, the door opened. "GOOD NEWS, ROXAS! I found my Sitar. It was hidden under the couch where we played thirteen before." Demyx came out raising his Sitar.
"Huh? Good for you..."
"Yep. Oh, I saw the superior walk pass by. Anything happen?
"Eh... not much. Just the usual heart-achievement-work lala." I took my last bite went to the sink. I placed my plate on top of Xemnas's and drank some water.
"Hahaha! It'd be hilarious if Xemnas heard you say that!"
"Well anyways, I'm finished here. See you later." I waved and walked towards my room. The thoughts are coming back to me. What would've happened if I landed a blow on him... would I have won? Or lost... "Sheesh, Roxas! I don't know?!". I think I'm going crazy. I scratched my head in annoyance.
I went inside my room and headed towards the bathroom. Since Demyx didn't give me time to brush my teeth and all... I'm going to do it now before I head off for my mission. Well, there's still an hour left so... might as well take my time.
I took picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste. I squeezed the toothpaste onto my brush and rinsed it with water. I started to brush, staring at myself onto the mirror. As I brushed, the image reflection on the mirror changed.
"W-What..." I took a step back.
On the mirror, there was a boy looking strikingly similar to me. Cerulean eyes but with brown long spiky hair. I raised my hand up and the mirror followed my action. After a few seconds, it disappeared and showed my normal appearance again.
"Wasn't that... Sora? I remember Xion looking like that... or am I just imagining things?" I stared onto the mirror, touching my face. "Maybe it's the lack of 2 hour sleep Demyx took! Oh well, what ever." I poured water onto my small glass and rinsed the water onto my mouth. After that, I washed my face, drying it with the towel near me afterwards.
"Oi kiddo, you awake?" Suddenly a loud voice came up right outside of my room.
Sheesh, I seem to have some visitors today. Now what is it now...
I walked towards the door and opened it.
"?!" I blinked a few times.
"X-Xigbar? What brings you here?" I asked, surprised.
"Well, Saix called and we have a mission together. He said we need to start now."
"Oh. What kind of mission?"
"Just a new world to explore."
"Okay, I see. Well, I'm ready. Let's go now then..." Xigbar summoned the corridor of darkness and we started right away.
"Listen kiddo, no hard feelings, alright?" Xigbar looked at me as we walked onto the darkness.
"Oh, from when we fought? Y-Yeah of course..." I was still ticked that he took the spar as if it was a death match. Thanks to that, I didn't get to spend a proper time with my best friends!
As we walked and walked, we were at the exit before we knew it.
"Hmpf, so this is another world we haven't seen yet." Xigbar looked around. I looked around as well.
There were big pillar stones and it was quite sandy. There were also huge statues holding a spears. It looked like a Colosseum. No wait actually, it IS a Colosseum as I've just confirmed it, remembering that I've been here before. Now I remember... this is a great place to sharpen your skills! I suddenly had a sudden burst of motivation of training.
We stepped out of the entrance and walked into the sandy ground. Suddenly, a figure, a small one walked towards us.
"Hey! I've been waiting for you. You're here to become a hero right? To get stronger right? Come on in!"
Small, fat belly, has horns. Yep, it's Phil alright.
"Err... right." I agreed and looked over to where Xigbar was. He disappeared. Yep, I remember this one. I had a mission with him here.
Phil motioned for me to come and went inside. I never had the chance to look at the leader board so I went to take a quick look.
I approached the big blue sign.
'LEADER BOARD'
'First place: Sora'
"?!" My eyes widened. S-Sora?! It couldn't be... THAT Sora? Or maybe it's just a different Sora...
"Sheesh, I'm pretty sure we were suppose to be stealthy on missions, Roxas." Xigbar appeared behind me, with his hands on his hips.
I'll just act my way in this. "H-Hey! It shouldn't matter too much in this case... anyway, let's go?"
"Well, you can go by yourself. They already know you and you're kinda one of them now."
"What! So you're ditching me now?"
"Don't worry. Didn't you want to get strong anyway? This is a perfect place. Just make sure you come back in one piece." Xigbar smirked. Xigbar summoned the corridor of darkness. "See you". He walked in and soon, disappeared.
"Well that was expected..." I walked through the big entrance with two huge statues holding spears beside it. There, it was Phil.
"Took you long, kid. Let's start now." Phil had a clipboard, writing a few things. Probably looking for someone to challenge me.
And so, I began fighting my way through many challenges. Some were easy and some were hard.
Sorry for the long wait guys! No, I will not do each days because that will take forever if that's what some of you are thinking!
Anyway, if you have any questions that needs answering or anything, feel free to ask.
Yes, I said before that the story will get darker but that will soon happen.
Other than that, please review~ C:
