Chapter 11: Betrayal

I arrived at the mansion, I felt quite nervous. Simply because I wasn't sure what Xemnas was planning. I opened the gate, it made a loud creak. I cringed at the sound, I walked into the front garden. No dusks yet…I'm not sure if that's a good sign or a bad sign. I opened the front door, I walked into the room. Suddenly something struck me on the back of my head, I fell to the floor and blacked out.

I woke up in a dark room, I was laying on something soft and smooth. Where am I? Ugh, my head hurts. I tried to get up, but was pushed back down.

"Who's there?!" I growled, I heard a faint laugh.

"It's me…" a voice purred, I recognised that voice instantly.

"X-Xemnas?" I asked, I heard him laugh again.

"The one and only" he purred again.

"W-where am I? Where's Axel and Akuma?" I asked, I felt him lean over me. I began to panic. What is he going to do?!

"They're in a different room"

"What are you doing?!"

"Just admiring your beauty"

"Okay then, do you think you can move back a bit?"

"No"

"Why?"

"Because I wouldn't be able to do this…" he said, pressing his lips to mine. He pulled away, I went completely limp. I felt like I had just betrayed Axel…I feel guilty. I got up and shoved past Xemnas, I ran blindly. Frantically searching for the door, I felt arms wrap around my waist.

"Let me go!" I cried.

"Roxy, calm down"

"No! You've kidnapped my boyfriend and my pet tiger, and you knocked me out!" I cried.

"Roxy, please calm down" he almost begged.

"I want to know where Axel and Akuma is!" I cried, he sighed.

"Why can't people look past my title and see I am just a man?" he asked himself, I sighed. I had calmed down by now, I actually felt sorry for him. It must be hard to cut off from everyone, because they can't see past his title as the leader of the infamous organisation XIII. He let go of my waist, I stood there.

"You can go" he sighed, I hugged him.

"I'm sorry Xemnas, I can never know how you feel. I can only guess. Tell you what if you take me to Axel and Akuma and call off this stupid hunt, I'll promise to visit here every couple weeks…how about that?" I asked he smiled.

"Don't run away
I can't live without you
please stay
and I learn to love you right

I was waiting for you
waiting for all my life
I've been crying for you
die for you all this time
I was waiting for you
waiting for all my life
and I ain't gonna
lose you tonight

don't run away
I never wanted to hide you
please stay
and I learn to treat you right

I was waiting for you
waiting for all my life
and I've been crying for you
die for you all this time
I was waiting for you
waiting for all my life
and I ain't gonna
lose you tonight

I was waiting for you
waiting for all my life
and I've been crying for you
die for you all this time
I was waiting for you
waiting for all my life
and I ain't gonna
lose you tonight

I was waiting for you
waiting for all my life
(oh, I can't live without you)

and I've been crying for you
die for you all this time
(I never want to adore you)

I was waiting for you
waiting for all my life
and I ain't gonna
lose you tonight

I ain't gonna lose you tonight

I was waiting for you
waiting for all my life
and I've been crying for you
die for you all this time
I was waiting for you
waiting for all my life
and I ain't gonna
lose you tonight…" He sung, I never knew he could sing that well. He crashed his lips to mine. I was about to push him away, when the door flew open and Axel stood in the door way. His face sunk, his shoulders dropped. I pushed Xemnas away…

(Axel's POV)

I felt devastated, my one and only love was in the arms of that bastard Xemnas…kissing. I couldn't believe it, I think I should just go.

"A-Axel!" Roxy cried, I just stood there. I couldn't move my body, it hurt so much seeing them.

"Axel! I can explain!" she cried, I shook my head.

"No…just, don't" I said in a shaky voice. She went to take my hand, but I just took it back. I turned around and walked out of the door, I could hear Roxy calling after me. I ignored her, I just want to get away. I transported back to our home, I could feel depression setting in. Sora and everyone was getting up, I didn't say a word. They all watched me and my expression as I walked into the house, I went straight upstairs and began to pack my belongings into a small suitcase. I walked back downstairs.

"Where are you going?" Sora asked.

"Away" I replied in a cold tone, everyone picked up that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Sora asked, I let out a hollow laugh.

"Roxy can explain that" I replied.

"When she does come back, give her this" I said, giving him a letter. With that I left.

(Roxy's POV)

I ran to my house, in a desperate hope that Axel was still there. I arrived at my house, when I got inside everyone was looking glum. Sora came up to me and handed me a letter, it had my name written on it in Axel's handwriting. I opened it, it read;

Dear Roxy,

When I first met you two years ago, I didn't believe in love. But you showed me that it was possible, I thought I made you as happy as you made me. But I guess I didn't. I'm sorry I couldn't make you happy, I hope Xemnas can make you happy. By the time you get this letter, I have collected my belongings and left. Do not try to find me, I will never interrupt your life again…

Love

Axel

By the time I had finished the letter tears were flowing freely down my face, how could betray him like that? After all he has done for me.

"Roxy, what is this all about?" Cloud asked. I explained everything and showed them the letter.

"We have to find him!" I cried, Riku shook his head.

"No, we'll find him. You need to get some rest"

"No! I need to find him! It's my fault he's out there! If only I had escaped the room when I had the chance…"

"Stop beating yourself up, it's not your fault that Xemnas kissed you" Sora tried to comfort me.

"It was my fault! I let it happen!"

Leon was on the phone to all of his friends to see if they had seen Axel, he got off the phone.

"We've found him! He's in Hollow Bastion" Leon called.

"Let's go!" I cried, racing towards the door.

(Axel's POV)

My vision was blurring, I had been drinking. In a desperate hope to forget everything, I was walking towards my small temporary home. When I got to my front door, I collapsed. I hit my head on the step, blacking out instantly.

I woke up in the familiar home, I wanted desperately to go back to sleep and never wake up again. I would rather die, than face those painful memories.

"A-Axel?" Roxy's voice asked.

"Please tell me I'm dead, please tell me I died in the bar. Please tell me I'm in hell, that's why that voice is torturing me" I groaned.

"Axel, please let me explain!" the evil temptress's voice begged.

"I don't want an explanation! I want to fade away into nothing, I want to disappear. I want to die!" I groaned again.

"Y-you want to die?!"

"Yes! I want the pain to end! Who ever is there, I'll pay you one million munny to kill me"

"Axel it's me, Roxy"

"R-Roxy?"

"Yes" she went to lean in to kiss me, I pushed her back.

"D-Don't! I'm sure Xemnas won't appreciate it"

"I'm not with Xemnas! I love you! he kissed me!"

"Okay…talk to me when I'm sober"

"How much did you drink?!"

"I don't know somewhere between five and six litres. Look, I can't even remember what I just said!"

"Axel, honey. Go to sleep for a while" she said, kissing me.

"Oooookaaay!" I slurred and drifted off into slumber land.
