Chapter 11

Xion's Awake! That's Great, But…

Xion was fast asleep as we sat on the edge of her bed. Suddenly, I was sucked into Xion's dreaming mind, and I saw the boy in red, his dragon, and a girl that similar to Xion. A light appeared from the boy's and dragon's chests, and two hearts flowed out. They both flowed into the sleeping girl's chest, giving off a shine as they did so. The boy's and dragon's eyes started to close as they glowed. They began to fall back, and then split into tiny points of light. The girl awoke and tried to grab them, but as she did, the light scatters, and she shouts their names, but the whole memory was soundless. I couldn't even tell what the girl was saying, because I was suddenly ripped out from Xion's mind as she woke up. She gasped in shock.
"Whoa! Xion…Good morning," Roxas told her as he quickly recovered from his shock.
"Morning…" she murmured.
"You startled us," Roxas said.
"S-sorry…" she stammered. She saw the seashells by her pillow, and smiled to herself. "You brought me seashells." She held one up to her ear, and listened to the sound of the waves.
"Do you hear it?" Roxas asked.
"Yeah, the sound of the waves," she said quietly. "How long was I asleep?"
"About twenty days," my blonde friend told her.
"That long?!" she yelped in shock.
"Yeah, Axel, Roxas and I were getting worried," I said. I was about to ask her about that memory she'd had that I saw, but I quickly threw the thought into the back of my mind.
"I'm sorry. I feel bad. Kind of…weird that we can't feel anything at all, huh?" Xion said. "Without hearts to feel with."
"Yeah…"
"Hey, don't you two have work?" she asked suddenly.
"Huh? Oh, we're about to head out," Roxas answered.
"Can I come, too?" Xion asked eagerly.
"But…don't you need more rest?" Roxas asked her.
"After sleeping for nearly three weeks? I'll be fine," Xion assured us. "C'mon, take me with you."
"All right…sure," we agreed. We left for the main room, and Saix approached us. Xion looked down as Roxas held her hand to give her support.
"Well, well. It lives," Saix commented. "There's just no keeping you down."
"Saix, I want to go with Roxas and Night today on their mission," Xion told Saix.
Saix shook his head and replied, "You belong in your room."
Axel joined us then, and said in surprise, "Oh, hey, Xion! About time you crawled out of bed."
"Morning, Axel," Xion greeted him.
"Roxas and Night will team up with Axel today, as scheduled," Saix interrupted. "Xion, I'm afraid I forgot to pencil you in."
"Don't keep me pent up in here," Xion begged. "I need the exercise."
"I'll look after her," Axel offered. "I promise not to let her out of my sight."
"Hmm…fine. Go, if that's what suits you," the blunette said coldly, and left.
Once he was gone Xion said, "A four-man team? That's a first."
"Let's go, huh?" Axel said hurriedly. "Before Saix changes his mind!" We departed for Twilight Town to take down two large Heartless targets.
"This should be fun, huh?" Xion commented. "Quadrupling up like this."
"Yeah, I think this is our first four-man mission," Roxas and I said.
"Just remember that it's still a mission," Axel reminded us. "We're not on a field trip, guys."
"Yeah, yeah," Xion dismissed his warning. "It sure is nice to be back on my feet."
"Just don't push it, you hear me?" Axel cautioned her. "We'll pick up the slack."
"I hear you. Thanks," Xion said with a nod. We headed out for the sandlot, defeated our first target, and headed off to the Station Plaza for the second target. When we got there, though, Xion collapsed.
"Xion!" Roxas gasped as Axel caught her. The Heartless appeared, and Roxas and I looked at Axel.
"I've got Xion. You take out the target!" he ordered with a nod of his head.
"Okay!" I yelled to him. Roxas and I quickly dispatched the Heartless, and ran back over to Axel and Xion.
I heard a faint murmur of "Sora…Shadow…" from Xion as we approached, but Roxas didn't hear it. I had no idea who this Sora and Shadow were, but I felt the names were vaguely familiar.
"Xion!" Roxas cried out as we rushed to her.
"It's okay. She's not hurt," Axel assured us.
"But Axel-" Roxas tried to protest.
"Look, let's just RTC, okay?" Axel said worriedly. We quickly RTC'd, and when walking through the castle, Saix intercepted us.
"Well, that didn't take long," he sneered. "Did it break again?"
"She's not an 'it'!" Roxas snapped at him, and I let a snarl rip out of my chest.
As Axel walked past Saix, he snapped at Saix, "Keep your mouth shut." Roxas and I followed him, not looking back.
As we walked away, I heard Saix murmur, "You have changed." Axel turned around and looked up at Saix. "Something at Castle Oblivion changed you. Does the past mean nothing to you now?" Saix said to Axel, but we continued to walk away. Axel set Xion on her bed and turned around face us.
"Are you worried about her, Axel?" Roxas and I asked him.
"Of course I am," he said quietly.
Roxas and I smirked and I said, "Doesn't seem like you."
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"You hate complications," Roxas explained.
Axel thought about something for a moment, then said, "Roxas, Night, I meet up with you three every day for ice cream, right? Now why do I do that?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, you think about it, I don't need to go out of my way, right?" Axel explained.
"I guess not," Roxas muttered.
"You wanna know why I do?" Axel asked, and we nodded. "Because you three are my best friends. The four of us…we're inseparable."
"We are?" Roxas said in surprise. I sighed and rolled my eyes at Roxas as though to tell him, DUH.
"That's right—get it memorized," Axel told us. "And you know what? Best friends are willing to deal with complications."
"Yeah...yeah, you said it, Axel," we said. I heard Xion stir.
"Heh heh…Thanks Axel. You're sweet," Xion whispered from her bed. Axel rubbed the back of his head, looking embarrassed.
"Feeling better?" Roxas asked her.
"I just got a little dizzy," she replied. "Sorry to worry you guys."
"Try not to scare us like that anymore, huh?" Axel said.
"Okay," she murmured.
"And you take it easy today," he added.
"I will, thanks," Xion assured us.
Roxas and I wrote in our journal again tonight, and we put in about how Xion had woken up, only to pass out again on our mission. We even put in there how Axel had told us that the four of us were best friends—inseparable.
