A/N: Okay, a warning, this chapter shows just about the same scene, from different POV's and such. I'm sorry if you find it confusing, I thought it was the best way to capture everyone's thoughts on what was going on :) Thankies for reading!
Skye pulled away from Roxas with a large smile on his face, and looked over at Axel.
"I'm sorry, what?" Skye said.
"I said get away from him!" Axel yelled at Skye.
"I don't see your name on him. You can't tell me what I can and can't do, so just go away." Skye told Axel with a sneer. Axel looked completely furious, but Skye could see that underneath all that anger, he was immensely hurt.
Skye looked back down at Roxas, and he looked shocked. It looked like his eyes were about to pop out of his head. It made Skye laugh a little, but he stopped when Roxas' expression turned deadly.
"That was uncalled for. Don't be an ass." Roxas said as he went over to his piano and sat down. The bell rang and Skye followed suit.
I can't believe he said that! Hell, I can't believe he kissed me! I should not have let him do that! Ugh! Poor Axel… I hope he isn't too hurt… Roxas thought. He also thought about the Axel's face after Skye told him to go away. He was right that Axel couldn't tell him what to do, but Skye had no reason to blow up like that. Roxas didn't belong to Skye, Axel, or anyone else. Roxas was Roxas, no one else. He continued to play the piano, but his mind was somewhere else entirely. After he missed several notes in a row, and realized he was playing in the wrong key, he slammed his hands on the keys and turned his piano off. He shut the lid with a forceful thud and laid his head down on the smooth surface.
"What's wrong Roxas?" Skye asked him. Did he really just ask me that? He has absolutely no morals! Roxas thought angrily. His anger unexpectedly flared, and the more he thought about what had happened, the angrier he became. Roxas knew he was over-reacting, but he couldn't seem to stop himself. He just wanted to get up and punch Skye flat in the face, but the small, sane part of his mind was talking to the insane part of him. In the end, the sane part won, and Roxas took deep breaths to calm himself. What the hell is wrong with me? I was just about to punch Skye! But I wouldn't have… Would I?
"Roxy, baby what's wrong? You can talk to me you know." Skye said. The angry part of him flared again, and this time, it won. It coursed through Roxas' veins like hot lava flowing out of a volcano.
From where Axel was sitting, he could see Roxas getting angry at his piano and slamming it shut. I hope he didn't break it… Marluxia would KILL him for breaking one of his precious pianos… Axel thought to himself. He saw Skye trying to talk to Roxas, and try to calm him down a bit. Axel could tell by how tense Roxas was that the talk wasn't helping. Axel wished Roxas would just beat Skyler up or something. That would be amazing. 'No one is going to take my Roxas away from me.' Axel thought angrily. He began to play again when he noticed an unnaturally beautiful light seep into his vision. He looked around to see if anyone else saw it too, and it seemed no one did. He looked up towards Roxas, because that was where it seemed to be coming from. Axel was right. But it wasn't a broken light bulb like Axel had thought, or a hole in the ceiling. It was coming from Roxas. The white light surrounded him fully, and seemed to make him glow. Skye noticed it too, because his hands were shielding his eyes from the bright light. How could anyone not see that light? It's so bright… Axel thought. He found himself staring at it, and not being able to look away. He could tell the light wasn't JUST a light, but like a living thing made up of the strongest emotions present in Roxas. Axel could almost see the love, anger, and… Hate. That was the strongest one. He didn't know Roxas was capable of such strong hate towards anyone. Axel didn't like that Roxas could hate that much, but he was also glad it was directed at Skye, not him. If Roxas gets rid of Skye, then it will be just me and him. He thought gleefully. Axel shook his head to clear it of that thought. Why am I glad that Roxas would hurt Skyler? That's not me... He thought. Axel mentally pushed the green jealousy monster out of his head.
"DON'T. EVER. CALL. ME. YOUR. BABY!" Roxas yelled at Skye and lifted his hand towards his face. Uh-oh… This will not end well...' Axel thought as the light around Roxas seemed to shimmer and start to become brightest in his palm.
Xemnas watched the piano lab with detached interest. He looked away at the other rooms of the school when he felt a strong power-like thing unleash. He looked back to the piano lab because he recognized the source. It was Roxas. He would never admit it out loud, but that 15 year old boy was the strongest member of the Organization. He was the only weapon Xemnas had to get their hearts back.
Roxas had begun to glow. Xemnas could see it faintly through the grainy black and white screen. He knew what would happen if Roxas unleashed that power, and he got up from his chair and ran down to the piano lab as fast as he could.
Roxas felt a thousand times stronger than before. He looked over at Axel, and he just looked shocked. His mouth was hanging open and his eyes were bugging out of his skull. I wonder what that's all about. Roxas thought.
"Baby, you're glowing." Skye said.
"DON'T. EVER. CALL ME. YOUR. BABY!" He shouted at Skye. He lifted his hand out and concentrated all his newfound energy and power into his palm. Once he had it all gathered and centered, he prepared himself to throw it all at Skye just to shut him up. I am no one's baby! Not anymore…
Xemnas burst through the door loudly, and effectively interrupting Roxas' concentration and focus. His power dissipated until he was left with nothing. Roxas collapsed, knocked unconscious.
Skye started to get worried when Roxas started to glow. He looked amazing, but it was starting to hurt his eyes.
"Baby, you're glowing." He told Roxas. Roxas turned to face him with this look… It was almost pure hate. It scared Skye to no end. Then Roxas said something he couldn't understand, and raised his hand toward Skye's face.
After a second or two Roxas' face changed dramatically, and he took a deep breath.
The blond looked like he was about to say something, but Xemnas came bursting in the room. That broke Roxas out of his trance, and the light around him was dimming. Roxas collapsed, and Xemnas caught him and practically dragged him out of the room. The piano lab door shut with one final click.
The entire room was silent for a few seconds after Xemnas left. Skye suspected they only saw Roxas collapse and Xemnas drag him out. After lunch, everyone will know… I've got to stop them. Skye thought as he stood up.
"If anyone of you says anything about what happened in here, all of you will be hurt. Permanently. Got it?" Skye said loudly. He received nods from everyone, even Axel.
After Skye was done with his "speech", Axel looked around at all the people who were actually listening to him (which was the entire class). They all had wide eyes and looked scared. Skye looked at all of them and told them to get back to work. They all listened.
Axel caught Skye's eyes and nodded, reading the question in them. Did you see that too?
The redhead got up and grabbed the hall pass, and all but dragged Skye out with him. They were going to have a talk.
Roxas woke up feeling tingly all over, and very bouncy, like someone had injected sugar into his veins. He looked around and recognized Principal Xemnas' office. The Principal looked annoyed.
"Stop that infuriating bouncing XIII and stay still!" Xemnas ordered Roxas.
Roxas stopped bouncing and said "What did you call me?"
"XIII. It was what you were called when you were in my Organization."
"What Organization?"
"Roxas, what do you remember about your past life?"
"Okay, talk." Axel said to Skyler when they got into the boy's bathroom.
"About what?" Skye asked.
"You saw Roxas in there didn't you?"
"Yes. But I have no idea how he did that. Or why."
"What is your opinion on past lives?" Axel asked.
"I believe in them." Skye said truthfully.
"You wanna hear something funny?" Axel said, laughing slowly.
"Uhm… Sure?"
"When I first saw you in kindergarten, I recognized you instantly. I didn't know why I recognized you, or where I knew you from, but my heart knew you. That's the only reason I befriended you, ya know."
"Well I know where you knew me from." Skye said. "You may wanna sit down." He told Axel. Axel sat down and patiently listened as Skye told him all that he knew about their time in the Organization.
"What do you remember about your past life?" Xemnas asked again after Roxas just blankly stared at him.
"I don't believe in past lives." Roxas replied.
"Well you better start now."
"Why?"
"Because after you left my Organization, you lost all memories of your past life."
"The Organization? I've never been in one. I've lived in Twilight Town all my life."
"No." Xemnas said, and explained to him how he was created.
"NO!" Roxas said once he was done. It all sounded like it belonged in a video game, not in Roxas' life. Roxas didn't believe him.
"Yes. I need you to come back now Roxas. Kingdom Hearts is nearly finished, and the key-"
"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP!" Roxas yelled at Xemnas. He stood up and ran out of the room as quickly as he could.
"Damn!" Xemnas yelled as the door slammed shut behind his only hope to get his heart back. Xemnas secretly hated Roxas. He hated him for having a heart again, where Xemnas did not. He hated Roxas for having his heart belong to someone else, where Xemnas did not.
Xemnas got on his phone and called his faithful number 2. "Saix. Get me every nobody we have left. Roxas and Axel are NOT allowed to see each other. Hurry, I fear the worst."
"Yes superior."
