***Hey! It's Roxy! So, I'm finished with Long Lost Xion… anyways, here is your next chapter! It's a continuation of Windows and Hiding Places.***
Roxas sighed as he sat on the top of Sunset Hill.
Axel would never find him here.
Court had finished. Even with Axel's confession, the jury ruled that Riku and Sora couldn't take care of Roxas. They said "If they can overlook something like that, they are unfit guardians."
Roxas sighed and looked at the stars.
Looks as though Roxas would still sneak out every night, even if he was in a foster home.
He missed Sora and Riku.
He missed walking home to the apartment building every day.
He missed being two floors away from Namine and Kairi.
He missed his stuff.
But he could visit.
He lied to his foster parents. He said he was in a club after school and that he'd come "home" three hours later.
But actually he went to his real home.
With Riku and Sora.
And he messed with his stuff, hung out in his room, and read. Normal stuff he would do on a school night.
Sometimes he'd talk to Sora or Riku. Sometimes he'd hang out with Namine and Kairi.
And sometimes he'd stare out his window, waiting for Axel to climb through.
But that never happened.
All of this was happening on winter break. Axel hadn't seen Roxas since court.
And Roxas was fine with that.
But he missed his best friend. He knew that Axel did all he could to help him.
Roxas heard a twig snap. He dove into the bushes and peeked out.
Saix. And… Axel?
"Look Ax, I know that I treated you badly, but come on! We had so much fun together! This was where we met!" Saix exclaimed.
"Saix, let me go. I told you, I'm not interested." Axel said evenly.
"You heard the man, Xaldin. Let him go." Saix said cruelly.
Roxas heard a rope being cut, and saw a huge pair of hands for the first time. The rest of that person was obscured by the bushes.
Axel was thrown to the ground, and a huge boot kicked his stomach.
Roxas pulled out his cell phone.
Saix grinned and Roxas heard a sickening crunch.
That would be Axel's nose.
Axel screamed in pain and Roxas called 911.
"This is 911, what's your emergency?" The operator asked.
"What was that?" Saix yelled, hushing the group.
The lady seemed to sense this, and remained silent.
"Probably a cat." Xaldin grunted.
Saix nodded and Xaldin continued to beat up Axel.
"Hi. This is Roxas Hikari, I am currently on Sunset Hill, hiding in the bushes and watching my best friend, Axel Flynn, get the crap beat out of him by two assholes. Can you send a squad car? And maybe an ambulance?" Roxas asked.
There was another loud crunch and Axel screamed again.
"Okay, defiantly sent an ambulance." Roxas amended, seemingly calm.
"Okay, would you like me to stay on the line?" The lady whispered.
"Nah, I'm gonna try to help." Roxas said, shrugging.
He hung up on the lady's protests.
He froze, about to stand when he heard a zipper unzip.
Axel cried out, but the sound was muffled.
Roxas peeked through the bushes and saw a sight that he would gladly forget.
Saix was raping his best friend.
Nope, not on Roxas's watch. This wasn't going to happen for long.
He jumped out of the bushes, holding a branch that was hidden, and ran at Saix, whose back was turned. Roxas started hitting the blue-haired man's head until he fell over, knocked out.
Axel looked up, his purpling eyes wide and he tried to say something through the gag.
Roxas turned around to see Xaldin, holding a trashcan.
Roxas barley dodged the barrel and was nearly hit again by one of the huge man's swinging fists.
And then he felt a crashing blow to the side of his head, he heard Axel cry out through the gag, and there was blackness.
***Sorry! I'll continue tomorrow. Today… is a school night and I left some homework until too late.***
