Thanks for the reviews everyone, it's what keeps me updating
Axel: Well aren't they nice?
Axel you're back?
Axel grins: What, did you miss me?
I'm not answering that. Are you sure you're okay?
Axel: Why wouldn't I be?
Well considering you got 'skewered' last time; I thought you wouldn't be back for ages. Oh one of our readers 'Trigga Happy Saiyanayo' wants you to stop teasing Xaldin, so you won't get hurt
Axel: I learnt my lesson got it memorized?
Y-E-S
Axel: Anyways I'm back cos, I'm in this chapter, I gotta to be in top condition, you know for Rena
Saix rolls his eyes: You really think she fancies you?
Axel smirks: Of course no-one can resist the 'Axel-inator'
Saix sighs: Axel-inator? That's not even a word
Axel: Whatever. You're just jealous that I get more time with her
Saix: ...
Axel: Woah did I just shut him up? The world is going to end!
Axel runs away
Saix: You're seriously telling you're gonna pair him with Rena?
I dunno...I didn't even say anything. Well you know what to do
Saix sighs: Angel Jeanne doesn't own any of us. We apparently belong to this other Organization known as Square-Enix
But...
Saix: She owns...Rena and this person (who we still don't know about) called Raen
Thanks!
A/N (Thoughts) Are Axel's
Thoughts Are Rena's
Chapter 20-Talk with a pyro
I reappeared in the back alley of Twilight Town
Now what should I do?
I was so deeply engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't realize I bumped into someone
"Woah so-"
That someone happened to be
"Axel?"
Axel wasn't wearing his usual Organization attire either; instead he wore a black jacket with red flame design, white shirt and black trousers.
Okay so it wasn't exactly that different from the whole black cloak thing but still...
"Hey Rena, where did you think you were going?" He grinned
"Nowhere...besides I can do what the hell I like"
Axel turned to the side "Always so fiery, that's what I liked about you"
"Wh-"
"Don't worry about the others, apparently 'Sups' gave the day off, so we get to 'chill' "
I raised an eyebrow "You're telling me he actually said that?"
Axel ran a hand through his hair before turning to face me "Well you know me, I might have got the wrong idea"
I shook my head
"So what you doing in Twilight Town?"
Oh right I got to cover for Roxas don't I?
"Well I just wanted to check it out; you can't expect me to stay in a castle which is freaking white all over, can you?"
Axel smirked "You got a point there"
"So what are you doing here then?"
"Oh so we're doing the whole Q & A thing now?"
"Maybe, but didn't you say we had to talk?"
Axel frowned slightly before turning away "Right"
"So?"
"Follow me"
Axel clicked his fingers and created a portal
"Ladies first" I gave him a look before entering
Okay so I didn't know that I'd end up walking off freaking a clock tower, he could have told me that's where we going.
Fortunately, no one, mainly me got hurt
So here we were sitting in silence, on the edge of the clock tower, staring at the sunset
"This is mine and Roxas' favourite place" Axel broke the silence
"Really? It's a nice view"
"Yeah"
I laughed a bit
"What's so funny?" He asked turning to me
"Nothing...it's just so awkward"
"It...Shouldn't be"
"I know..."
"You remember now don't you?" I faced him
"Yeah...just a bit..." I looked down "But enough...How come you-"
"The memories we all shared was too important to let go, even if I lost all my feelings, that was the last thing I will lose"
Axel took my hand which caused me to look up at him
"But I'm glad...you do...I'm glad there's someone else that remembers the bond between us"
I smiled "Saix and Demyx...they don't do they?"
Axel shook his head "Nope..."
I sighed "I see...I guess we got to help them remember then, huh?"
Axel looked confused
"But...even if they still can't remember...I'm just happy you guys are still here..."
"We made a promise, we got to stick it Got it-"
"Memorised? I sure do...down to the last words you guys ever to said to me"
At that point Axel let go of my hand
"Even mine?"
He asked softly looking at the sunset
I've always liked you...
"Yes even yours"
Axel turned to face me again "Even with no heart...I-"
I cut him off by placing a hand on his chest
"I don't believe you guys don't have hearts...it's impossible for nothing not to feel...no-one can be devoid of any feeling"
He placed his hand on top of mine
(Maybe...Is that why...)
"I still do...I still..."
His jaded green eyes stared deeply into mine own emerald
(Feel...For you...But I'm not 'him' I'm not Alex...)
He pulled back leaving me wondering what just happened here
"I can't"
"Axel?"
"I'm not the same person anyone Rena! I'm not him!" He exclaimed
"Axel...I don't care..." I said softly, he stared back at me
"What?"
"I've found you...found all of you..." I turned to the side
"You may not be who you used to be, but I can see the similarities...Demyx is still the cute little brother and Saix..."
"What about him?" Axel asked slightly annoyed
"He's...still the same" I replied hesitantly
Axel smirked "He will always be my rival"
I smirked back "Rival? I thought you two we're always at it, you know fighting over me"
Axel shook his head
(Wouldn't you like to know it...but...)
I turned to face the sunset once more
(It seems I have the advantage this time...)
"And me?" He asked pointing to himself, with that cheesy grin
"You..."
I thought for moment before replying
"There isn't a word invented to describe you!" I replied laughing
"Hey cheap shot!" Axel exclaimed playfully punching my shoulder
"Oh well" I shrugged
"You're still the same..." Axel said quietly
I turned to face him
"Even though your hair is a different colour...why did you dye it?"
Oh damn should have realised that...
I shook my head
"I didn't..."
"Then how did-"
"Something happened...something happened...to me...when you three left me..."
"What?"
"A-"
A strange aura cut me off
"A what Rena?"
"Shush" I concentrated on the aura
All black...but a light in the centre...Roxas?
"Roxas...he's in trouble!" I exclaimed
"Woah what! Roxas?"
I nodded "He's fighting heartless...ALOT of them! C'mon we got to help!" I exclaimed
Axel got up immediately "Let's go, show me the way!"
I stood up and clicked open a portal
We both entered it, unaware of a figure watching us reappear on the other side
"...So you came...after all..."
Well it was more of talking chapter again, I do apologize but now we know Axel remembers Yay! And some slight fluff, if you can call it fluff cough.
I hope I didn't make it too boring, but it was quick update since I'm loaded with work I'm meant to be doing now...oops. Anyways another mysterious figure, I bet you're all getting bored of that and the fact it was a cliffy...so much for that lasting!
NEXT TIME: Axel and Rena rush to help Roxas with major Heartless extermination...but an inner struggle with Raen might change everything...
Slight spoiler (Just a teeny one!)
"Don't you remember?"
"Remember?"
"Never mind my 14...yet you are here now"
14...what...?"
Ooh I bet that's made you more confused!
