Chapter 14- Waking up in Time for determined Love

Roxas started to beat down on Xemnas. He began to shake in worry. He couldn't know if Mitsumi was alive, or dead. It only fueled this hatred for Xemnas. Soon, he slashed Xemnas to his ultimate death. Roxas dropped to his feet from ten feet off the ground. He then walked to the edge.

"…Mitsumi…" Roxas closed his eyes and jumped off, eyes now open as he zoomed down and down.

He kept his eyes shut after a few minutes of being propelled downwards with eyes opened. He didn't know if he'd live thru this, or if she would, but that really didn't matter to him. He opened his eyes after what seemed to be hours, but was truly minutes. He saw Mitsumi slowly opening her eyes, floating and remaining in one place. Roxas grabbed her as he fell and both accelerated onto a new platform. The platform was split in half; One half pictured Sora with the Oblivion with an outline of black crowns and a white background. 3 circles on that half portrayed the Thalassa charm, Kairi, and Riku. The other half had Roxas with the Oathkeeper with an outline of White Nobody Sigils and a black background. 3 circles on his side had Axel, Namine, and Mitsumi.
They landed on the platform, Roxas slamming into it back first. He rolled over, wincing in pain for his stinging back. Mitsumi's eyes were halfway open as she laid before the boy, err, under him. For a moment, he remained there, breathing heavily in pain. Then, he opened his eyes, and saw her awake. He smiled, still breathing heavily. Mitsumi blinked several times until she was totally awake. As she forced her eyes open, she felt something hot and watery hit her face. She looked at her sides, left and right. Roxas' arms shook, and she was amazed his arms hadn't collapsed under the weight of his body. It took a good few minutes before he could speak.

"…Are you okay?" Roxas asked, forcing himself to sound calm.

"Yeah…" Mitsumi then asked," Are you?"

"…I'm fine, but you're…you're more important right now…" Roxas managed to say before his throat choked up on him. Mitsumi's right eye twitched slightly as the hot watery substance hit her cheeks.

She was desperate to know what was hitting her cheeks. She slid her arm closer to her body, and wiped the matter that had hit her face off. She touched it and more of it fell onto her hand. She looked at it: tears. She looked up at Roxas after a minute. He was just looking at her, smiling, as tears ran down from his face to hers. Roxas sat down finally, and wiped his face off with his arm, and then stood up.
Then, the platform began to crack. Roxas looked at the crack, and then Mitsumi.

"Hold my hand! When I tell you to jump, okay!" He told her, holding her hand tightly.

"What if I can't reach it?" She asked, holding on tightly on her end.

"Don't worry; you will!" Roxas replied, feeling the two pieces spread apart more, and more.

"You promise?" Mitsumi asked, holding on even tighter.

"On my life!" Roxas replied, glancing at the shifting pieces. After they were a good 2 or 3ft apart, Roxas shouted, "Jump!"

Mitsumi jumped, holding onto his shaky, sweaty hand as she did. For a moment, it felt as if she was just hanging there in an eternal space. She closed her eyes, with the sudden fear Roxas would lose grip of her and she'd fall. Then she felt yanked. Her eyes shot open and she landed on Roxas. Both fell to his side of the piece with a fall, Mitsumi on top of Roxas who was smiling.

"Told you…" Roxas smiled.

"…Roxas…" Mitsumi looked up at him.

"Oh?" Roxas looked at her.

"…Where are we going?" She asked.

"We'll find out when we're there." Roxas replied with a smile.

So, the duo were casted out to their next destination.
