As you might have known, Dark Underworld is completed. I've started on the sequel, but I got stuck. :D So, I thought that I might as well just write Harmony. I'm sorry for the late update.

Thank you!

Enjoy!

Harmony of the Sky

Chapter 13

Back to Where He Belonged

"I am enlightened that you have delivered Roxas safely back here, Sora. Thank you for your hard work," God stated flatly. His blue eyes were calm and cold. The spiky blond haired God was sitting on his throne in his chamber, staring down at his two sons who were kneeling before him.

"I am… glad to be back, father," Roxas whispered.

Sora grinned sheepishly. "It's alright, father. I'm glad that Roxas is back here too."

"Roxas, tell me. How did you find your way to the human world?"

"I… don't know, father. I remembered being horribly tired at one point… and when I regained my consciousness, I was already at the human world… with this kind man who protected and took care of me," Roxas answered truthfully, concealing nothing but his emotions toward said man.

"You two must be tired from your journey. Please go back to your chambers and rest." There was a barely noticeable smile in God's expression.

Roxas hung his head low, smiling kindly. "Yes, Father. Thank you."

And with that, the blond angel stood up and bowed once more before flying away from where he was standing. He flew slowly so that Sora would be able to catch up to him. Sora grinned, obviously overjoyed to know that his twin was once again in Celestia, once again by his side. He silently promised himself that he wouldn't let Roxas off his eyes again. When he looked over at the blond's expression, however, he was surprised to see that look of sadness and longing that were present. He frowned a little, parting his lips, wanting to say something, but no words came out.

The two angels flew side by side.

"Roxas…"

Roxas raised his head, looking over to his twin. He forced a very natural smile, "Yes, Sora?"

Sora chuckled awkwardly, somehow having a feeling that Roxas wasn't really smiling, yet at the same time, he doubted that Roxas could force such a natural smile. The brunet decided not to question his twin. Maybe Roxas was happy and that it was merely his thoughts that misled him. "It's nothing."

Roxas nodded. "I'd like to go to the garden for a while."

"But shouldn't we head back to rest?"

"Yeah, but I…"

"Let's go rest, Roxas. I'll go with you to the garden when we're well rested. Is that okay with you?" Sora persuaded.

"Sora…" Roxas shook his head uncertainly. He really wished no more than to be left alone in the garden, hoping that it would be able to ease his heavy feelings. He thought that he would be okay after leaving Axel, but… "Alright," he nodded at last.

"Great!" Sora grinned, taking Roxas' hand in his.

The blond Celestian heaved a small sigh before shrugging and finally decided that he had better cheer up before everyone else became tired of him.

--

"Demyx! I'm bored!!!" the redhead yelled, spread out on the floor like dead meat.

"Axel…" the dirty blond growled, rolling his eyes. He was really tempted to leave the house and Axel and never came back again. However, he feared for his friend's well being—not that he really cared about it anymore now that he was annoyed for four hours straight after Roxas left.

"Dem…" the redhead growled back.

"Go to work, really. Your boss will fire you for missing work."

"And I care. That old man should rot in hell anyway. I want Roxas…" Axel pouted childishly.

"For Hell's sake, Axel. Why didn't you stop him before he left, honestly?"

"Like you wouldn't scold me afterwards…" Axel rolled his eyes, groaning, annoyed and at the same time depressed.

"And you care?"

"Honestly, I don't."

"Axel, you're acting like a big baby now. What would the Underworld think if they found you in this condition?"

"You're not supposed to say that out loud, Dem."

"I thought your father taught you to never let your emotions dominate your being."

"Enough about that moronic old man."

"He's your father, Axel."

"Please, remind me again. I might forget."

Demyx heaved a huge sigh. Axel was really acting like a big kid and he didn't think that his words to persuade him would work anytime soon. He gave up soon after.

For the whole day, Axel kept informing Demyx that he was bored.

It was a dull day.

--

The wind softly blew against his face as if encouraging him to do what he had in mind. Taking in a weak breath, he reached out to touch the pure water of the water in the stream with the tip of his finger. It was frosty. Releasing a deep breath, he sat down at the edge of the stream, hugging his knees close, wings curled out around him in such a depressing way, caught up in his silence and sadness.

The angel looked beside him. "Axel!" he cried out, cheering up. However, when he reached out to touch the redhead, he fell. The redhead was merely a ghost, an illusion of his own imagination and his intense longing. How could he feel powerful emotion over a human? He had no doubt that Father would be horribly upset if He found out. But…God was all knowing. Roxas had no doubt that Cloud had already found out. That must be why he could sense some hostility from God earlier.

The night sky looked dismayed. The children that played with the stars and the moon stopped, releasing a weak sigh to see the angel in such a state.

"Hello there, Roxas," a kind and cheerful voice could be heard ringing through the silence of the night.

"Oh. Xion…" Roxas smiled an angelic smile, standing up from where he was and patting his chest off of the clouds.

"I am really glad you're back. Naminѐ and the others are really worried about your well being. And of course, I am too," the raven haired angel tilted her head to the side. "Are you okay? Roxas?"

"Oh. Huh? I'm okay!" Roxas grinned cheerfully. "I apologize for worrying you."

Xion giggled. "What are you apologizing for? There is no need to apologize. All that matters is that you're safe and back in Celestia."

"Thank you."

"And there is also no need for thanks. What happened in the human world?"

"Huh?" Roxas choked.

"Huh?"

"Nothing happened. I was…" Roxas paused. "I was just there… and I'm glad that Sora finally came and took me back here."

"I see. …So… what are you up to so late at night?"

"Just out taking a walk. It's been a while since I see the night sky in Celestia. Still as beautiful as ever."

"Yes. So… you'll be singing again in the garden tomorrow? Most higher angels are awaiting, eager to hear your beautiful voice once again."

Roxas took in a deep breath. "Yes, I will. Thank you for informing me, Xion."

Xion yawned then. "I should head to my slumber. I'll see you tomorrow, Roxas."

"See you tomorrow."

Roxas watched as the raven haired angel flew away from sight. Afterwards, he stepped to the edge of the clouds, looking down below… down down, far below in the abysmal darkness. The human world… he swallowed. The place he belonged to was in Celestian. It was preposterous to even think about Axel when he had duties that he needed to fulfill in his own world.

--

Axel released a heavy sigh for the hundredth time that day. "Roxas…" he whispered again, as if doing so would gain him what he wanted.

"Seriously Axel… for Hell's sake… could you please stop being a goon and get back to your duties? I don't want to take care of you for another five hundred years."

"Leave me alone, Dem…" the redhead answered and waved weakly. There was no spirit nor was there energy in his voice. His usual grin was gone.

"I seriously can't. This is so unusual for you. I've told you that you wouldn't be able to stay together with Roxas. He's an angel. And please, you really should know your own position, Prince."

"I am no Prince. I don't want to be a Prince in that disgusting place to begin with, Demyx. You are well aware of that."

"Yes and that is why you never stay committed and complete your trial in order to be crowned the official ruler. And the fact that Roxas is an angel…" Demyx sighed, shaking his head. "How did it turn out to be such a mess? And for you… to fall so sickly in love. This sight is disturbing… Please don't be offended."

"None taken. Roxas is just different. You wouldn't understand. It's not every day for me to meet someone as… selfless as Roxas."

"Tell me about it. He's an angel. That should strike a thing or two in your thick head right now, Axel."

"I wonder what he's doing now… singing?"

"Axel, if you really like music that much… we have plenty of Singers, you know…"

Axel chuckled. "Yeah, and I would love for them to sing me to death. Thanks, Dem," he laughed out loud. First laugh in all day.

"

That's the spirit. Besides, who knows. When you've become the crowned ruler… you might be able to do what you want and you know…" Demyx shrugged, trying to encourage his friend and hinting the basic idea.

Emerald eyes went wide open. "You mean…" the redhead frowned.

"I didn't say anything…" Demyx whistled, walking away with his hands behind him.

Axel laughed again. "That's right. If I take after that moronic King…" he snickered.

"I might be able to meet Roxas again… and possibly…"
