Of Fruits And Promises

Chapter 10

Forgotten

"Who..?"


Sora's head was pounding furiously as he woke up. The minute his eyes were open they blinded by this bright white light. He groaned and looked around. It seemed as if he was in a lab. Was he even on Destiny Island?

"You've awaken." A shadow loomed over him and the moment Sora looked up he glared.

Vexen. Great. He tied to a chair in an uncomfortable way and now he was with Destiny High's most freaky senior who thought he was a mad scientist. And he was in his lab. This was probably the basement. Of his mother's house.

Again. Great.

"Why the hell am I here? Tied up?" Sora asked, groggily. "Whatever it is, Axel did it."

Vexen laughed coldly. "You didn't do anything. Larxene dropped you off here, saying I could experiment on you freely so long as I kept you away from Naminé and Roxas." He shrugged. "I'm not one to pass on such an offer. I don't have many…lab rats."

Sora sighed and cast his eyes downward.

Naminé was such a bitch.

xXx

Roxas walked towards Vexen house, Naminé walking quietly beside him. Quiet. An amazing feat for her. All he said was 'shut the hell up' when she was protested at the thought of coming here. All he wanted was his science textbook Vexen had borrowed when Axel torched his. And here she was, actually quiet. Why the hell were they together again?

Sora's face flashed before his eyes and he paused, not knocking on Vexen's door. Roxas stared at door, half expecting it to say something. A wave of uneasiness washed over him. He didn't know how he knew, or why, but, Sora was here.

xXx

Sora tensed as Vexen pulled out needle from his arm. His vision blurred and his head started pounding again. He could make out a few words of the question Vexen asked and he became puzzled. "Who..?" A sinister smirked crossed Vexen's face and excused himself to go answer the door upstairs.

Sora shifted and yanked his hands through the now loose ropes. For a scientist, Vexen wasn't really observant. Rubbing his head, he stumbled over to the stairway where he immediately felt hands on his shoulders, moving him back.

xXx

Vexen nodded when Roxas explained about the textbook. He looked behind Roxas, where Naminé was biting her nails. So the witch could get nervous, it seemed. He quietly mumbled basement and showed Roxas to his room. As they headed up another flight of stairs, Vexen saw as Naminé yank a door open and run downstairs.

Entering his room, Vexen pulled the science textbook from his third bookcase and hand it to Roxas. As Roxas grabbed it, Vexen did not let go.

"Vexen, what are yo-" Roxas began, but was cut off. "Did you know that Sora took an interest in my studies and came to visit with Naminé? Last time I checked, he was in the basement and I just remembered seeing Naminé go down there as we went upstairs."

The textbook was forgotten as Roxas ran out of the room. Vexen smirked and placed it back on the bookshelf. He never helped anyone but himself, a certain pink haired botanist at school was his exception. He never really liked Naminé. Hopefully, with an angry male and a room full of chemicals, she would get what she deserved.

xXx

Naminé pushed Sora back. "You're not going anywhere."

Sora sat back down, rubbing his head. He still had a killer headache. He sighed but didn't protest Naminé began tying him up again. Sora heard yelling and footsteps stomping down on stairs and felt rope loosening around his arms. He looked up just in time to see Naminé get thrown against a large shelf.

xXx

"You bitch!"

Roxas ran downstairs, pulling Naminé away from his best friend and shoving her into the nearest anything. Luckily, she came in contact with a big shelf. He turned to Sora, helping the dizzy boy up. "Why couldn't I see this sooner?"

Naminé stood up and ran to him, pushing Sora out of the way. "Roxas! Please! I was trying to get him out!"

"Liar!" Roxas screamed as he pushed her back into the shelf and jumped away quickly and bottles of chemicals and liquids washed over her for knocking over the shelf. He watched in shock how Naminé blonde hair turned a greasy black and her ivory skin become red and irritated with rashes and boils. She screamed in horror as she studied her arms and touched her enflamed face.

"VEXEN!"

xXx

Vexen was walking down a dirt path heading towards Marluxia's house. He was in the middle of wondering whether Marluxia had something to eat when he felt a chill run down his spine. Perfect.

xXx

Roxas locked the basement door with a key that was already placed on the knob. He led Sora to Vexen's living room couch and cupped his face gently. Hesitantly he asked, "Sora? Are you alright?"

Blank and dull eyes met his.

"Who are you?"


Damn.

Wasn't expecting that were you?

You wanted drama and you also wanted Namines ass kicked.

How was that?

Also, If you want more drama and RoxasxSora, please check out the first chapter of my new story.

I'm still with this so don't worry. I just had an idea I wanted to write down.

Review both stories please. I'm nervous.

Later days.
