Sora and Riku gave each other bewildered looks at the command that Roxas had given them. They were surprised, especially Riku. After looking out for the small teen, he had only known that the younger was far too gentle to give such a demand… Now that has changed. Riku could see it in the teens sapphire blue irises as he gave them a look of determination. However Sora gave his cousin a distracted look, "Why? We came here to help you." The brunet said a bit dumbfounded as he waved his hands in the air. The blond teen gave them a hard look, but said nothing as his attention was focused on the other oncoming airships. Crap.

"You know what; I think we should just get in our own airship and escape. How's that sound?" Riku suddenly suggested and Sora nodded, even a bit reluctantly. The brunet didn't want to leave just yet as he wanted to shed some needed blood. On the other hand, he agreed to Riku and he grabbed Roxas by his arm and dragged him as he soared after Riku towards their own airship. Roxas began to protest but he then noticed that they were completely outnumbered. Since the occupants and pilots in the airship needed to do their own thing, the three of them were helplessly outnumbered.

"Crap!" he groaned in frustration as he yanked his arm out of his 'cousins' hold and he followed after them, doing flips in order to get away faster. His sapphire eyes were glued on the airship that belonged to them, as he suddenly had the longing to go back onto Axel's lap. Not knowing the reason why, he just wanted to. This caused him to zip past Riku and Sora. "What's got you in a rush?!" Riku exclaimed but he went faster as he grabbed Sora by his left hand and tugged him behind him. The brunet let out a yelp of surprise, but he cried out as bullets whizzed past them. Roxas noticed this too.

"The hell?!" he shouted as he reached the hanger of their airship, and he zipped inside. Following him were Riku and Sora and the hanger began to shut close. Making their way towards the cockpit area, Roxas could feel that the ship was moving away from their pursuers.

"Get us to Midgar now!" Riku ordered as he came in with Roxas, as Sora was in tow with him. Ienzo and Axel looked up to see the three come in. Zexion gave them a small wave from his area, still shooting at the pursuers that were slowly becoming dots in the scene. Demyx gave them a goofy grin before monitoring the screen again. Roxas watched as his weapon vanished into thin air and he stared at his hand in shock. The blond hadn't completely registered what the weapon was, but he was sort of creeped out by it. "Roxas?"at the sound of the red-heads voice he snapped out of his thoughts. Lifting his head up, he gave the man a weak smile and waved sheepishly at him.

"I'm going to bed." He said softly as he turned and dashed out of the cockpit area to the dormitory area. Ienzo blinked for a minute before he shrugged as he concluded that he was just a child and didn't understand love; thus he had gone back to piloting the airship. Axel was a bit hurt by the teen's reaction but shrugged it off as nothing, and did the same as Ienzo. Demyx and Zexion exchanged swift glances before looking at Riku and Sora.

"It's nice to know that you decided to join us, you two." Zexion said calmly and Riku scowled. Sora let out a sheepish laugh as he took off his eye patch, revealing a normal blue colored eye, as the other was a slit. "Yeah, we kinda didn't like what Marluxia had planned out for Roxas." He admitted, and Axel heard this.

"Planned what?" he sharply said and Sora jumped a bit as he turned his head to the direction of the taller man. He gulped nervously and looked at Riku for help. The silver haired teen shook his head, and told he was on his own. Leaving it at that, he turned and left his Tuner and the others as he went to where Roxas was headed. Sora sighed and he looked at Axel, who was glaring at him expectantly.

Axel and Marluxia were enemies as well.

"Well, this is what he wanted…"

-linebreakwhee! Linebreakwhee! Linebreakwhee! Linebreakwhee!-

Roxas sighed as he pushed the door open to the dormitory area, and looked at the dozens of beds that were empty, but each of them probably belonged to someone. Yawning, he realized he was extremely exhausted. This meant he had to rest.

Skating towards the closet bed that was next to him, he then slipped off his Air Treks and climbed into the comfortable bed. He bit his lip when he remembered the hurt look on Axel's face when he didn't want to come over to him…

"Am I that selfish?" he wondered, yet he didn't think he was. Honestly, the blond didn't know why he was thinking like this… He didn't want to get too close to the red haired man. For some reason, his heart began to squeeze inside of his chest. With a sigh, he ran fingers through his spiky blond hair and fell back onto the mattress, closing his eyes. With a sigh, he began to massage his temples, groaning in the process. He felt so… Defeated. Like he didn't have a purpose. He felt no hope. No right. No wrong. No fate. No past. No future.

Why did he feel this way?

Just let it slide, wasting time. Just let it slide, wasting life. Just make it loud in your room, just make it loud in your room; no one cares.

The door opened and he could vaguely see Riku in a side glance and he wondered why the other was coming in. By the feeling of it, he didn't want to see the silver haired teen as well. Roxas didn't want to. Frustrated, he grabbed the pillow that his head was laying on, and he placed it over his face, hoping to suffocate.

That didn't work.

I need more time… Somehow I'll make it through. I just need more time…!

The pillow was lifted off of his face, and he was peering into the aquamarine eyes of Riku himself. Roxas scowled at him, rolling over on his side.

"Go away." He said and he closed his eyes again, hoping the other would go away and leave him alone. This didn't work as well, either.

"You know, you can at least talk to me, Roxas." Riku said as he felt the other's weight on the bed. The blond scowled as he opened his eyes to glare at the older.

"Fuck off, Riku. You lied to me. Namine did as well; hell she isn't even a sister to me anymore. Demyx and Zexion did. I can't trust any of you." He spat out, and the older teens face softened to a look of complete surprise. The blond across from him kicked at him, hitting him slightly in the arm, making him jump off the bed.

"Roxas, listen to me –"

"Fuck to that, Riku."

A growl escaped his throat, but before he could do anything, Sora came inside with a very angry looking Axel. Roxas didn't notice, nor did he care. The blond was trying to tune them out from everything, his eyes squeezed shut.

"You stupid brat!" harsh words and a hand grabbed at his throat, and Roxas opened his eyes wide as he was being picked up off the bed. He saw Axel's face in his vision, as Riku and Sora stayed a good distance away, unless they were getting hurt.

There is no hope… No past. No future.

Roxas growled back at Axel, clawing at the eldest's arm, as he desperately chocked to breathe. However, Axel did not loosen his hold.

Why did the good deserve to die?

Did I deserve much better?

Eyes fluttered closed as he was losing oxygen for his lungs, and he could hear Axel's angry words.

Maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged, maybe he forgot who he was. Maybe this kid just wanted to be loved.

"You fucking prick, how dare you say you don't trust any of us! We risk our fucking backs for you!"

She found love in the wrong places, it was the same but with just different faces… Too bad her daddy left her, he could have told her she deserved much better.

"And you treat us like FUCKING CRAP and we didn't have to DO THIS FOR YOU!"

His breathing slowed, but he didn't feel the grip loosen on his throat.

I'm tired of all lies…

This is how the story goes, will it ever make sense? Somebody's gotta know.

"Axel, give him some air!" came Sora's voice as he could feel his body being jerked around. He didn't know who or what grabbed him from Axel's hold, but he had passed out from lack of oxygen to understand anything.

"Come on, we're at Mdigar! We have to see Reno, Axel!" came Sora's pleading voice.

"Fuck off!" roared the all too familiar voice of the red-head.

As his senses came to total blackness, he was out when they reached the destination they were heading to.

Youth of the Nation…

We are…

-linebreakwhee! Linebreakwhee! Linebreakwhee! Linebreakwhee!-

A/N: Well then… That was short… But it got something moving. Next chapter is when they finally make it to Midgar! Um, when will I update next…? I don't know. Whenever I listen to my music, so I can get the inspiration. Plus Christmas is next week… Blergh! Anyway, Axel was fucking pissed all right. If you couldn't tell, he had been eavesdropping on Riku and Roxas. Who was driving the airship with Ienzo? Zexion of course. Lawls.

Read and review!
