A/N: I am sorry for not updating in so long! I've been working on some other projects, because I was suffering writers block with this one. But now, I am back!

I am looking to go to about maybe 30 or 28 chapters, but don't worry, because I have special plans for this story! Any who, I hope you guys enjoy this new chapter enough to give me some reviews *cough-cough, which I don't have a whole lot of, cough*. Well….ENJOY!
Chapter19: Xion's Capture
Day 298-Fracture-
We don't know where Xion disappeared off to, but we figure she's ok. Right now, I'm walking around the town, alone. Riku is back at the mansion, sleeping off yesterdays hard work. The town is really empty today, which is very odd for Twilight Town. I was walking around the entrance to the woods, when I heard someone talking.
"I know that was Xion I saw yesterday." I recognized that voice. I crept along the wall and peeked my head around the corner to see who it was.
It was Roxas, looking as glum as ever as I listened in.
"But…who was the guy with her?" He asked himself, shaking his head. "Why didn't she try to get away from him?" I knew he was talking about Riku.
I looked away and up at the building in front of me, where my eyes almost fell out of their sockets as they landed on Xion at the top of the building.
"Huh? Hey!" I heard Roxas shout, figuring out that he saw her too.
'Dammit Xion, what are you doing?' I mentally screamed when I saw her dart off after Roxas shouted up to her.
"Wait!" I saw Roxas run off past me, not even noticing I was there. I was about to run off after both of them, when I was hit with the stench of darkness.
"Heartless…" I muttered, taking in my surroundings of several Scarlet Tangos and Storm Bombs. I summoned my Keyblade. "I don't have time for you!" I shouted, lunging at them, and slashing my way through, and darting off once more after the two. I watched from a distance as Roxas tried to attack Xion poorly. She dodged every hit, only getting hit a few times. She would teleport to a different part of the Tram Common, leaving Roxas behind to fight Heartless.
I did my best to follow after them, but I kept getting stuck with weak Heartless. Finally, I subjected to jumping up to a roof-top, following Roxas as he followed Xion, but that didn't work out so well as I thought it would. They just disappeared from my sight, making jump back to the ground, and start running after them again. I saw Roxas follow Xion into an enclosed alleyway, and jumped over to the nearest roof to see what would happen. Roxas stopped when he got close to her and stared at her back for a while. He stood there for minute, before she took off her hood, and turned around to face him.
"Xion." I heard Roxas say, shocked that he had been chasing her around the entire time. I watched as he made his way over to her. "Where have you been? Axel and I have been looking all over for you." I assumed Axel was the other guy that Roxas had been with yesterday.
"You have?" Xion asked, her facial expression turning into a guilty one. "Sorry."
"Let's go home." Roxas said, a small smile on his face. "If you come back voluntarily, Saix will let all this drop. He has to." Roxas said. I noticed someone else on the other roof-top across from me. It was Axel, listening in on Xion and Roxas' conversation intently. I was pretty positive he saw me, but I decided not to act against it. I turned my focus back to Roxas and Xion, noticing she looked even more glum than before.
"I don't care what he said to you. I'll be there." I smiled at how Roxas was such a good friend. "Me and Axel will make sure-" He put a hand out to reach for Xion, but she flinched back from it, causing Roxas to gasp at her actions.
Xion looked down and shook her head. "I really cant."
Roxas looked at her, completely confused. "Why not?" He reached for her again. "Come on…" She flinched back from his had again. It was silent for a few minutes, and Roxas put his hand back to his side in defeat. Xion looked down in thought and sadness for a moment, before turning her glance away and began to walk off.
"Wait!" Roxas shouted reaching for her again, and succeeding by grabbing her wrist, pulling her to a stop.
Roxas looked at her in a confused way, probably wondering why she was running from him. Then, Xion did something that I never expected that she would do. She summoned her Keyblade. Roxas gasped, and let her wrist slip out of his grasp, standing still and staring at the Keyblade that was pointed at him. No one did anything….that is, until a Chakram came flying out of nowhere, and practically killed Xion, who thankfully blocked it with her Keyblade, causing the thing to go flying and get stuck into the earth. It disappeared in flames as the owner came near.
"Well, hello there…Xion." It was Axel. Roxas turned to look at Axel, completely confused. Xion darted towards Axel, Keyblade in hand, causing Roxas to panic. "No, wait!"
I gasped as Xion almost chopped Axel in half. He ducked the attack in time and summoned his Chakrams, throwing them at Xion. I growled to myself before summoning my own Keyblade, pulling up my coats hood, and jumping down from my spot on the roof. Roxas watched helplessly as his two friends went back and forth, fighting. I saw a Chakram come my way, putting my Keyblade in front of me to block it. The fighting stopped, and Axel stood in his place. Xion darted towards him, ready to chop him up. I ran out and in front of them, while Roxas shouted.
"Stop!" I put my Keyblade out in front of me, letting it hit Xion's, causing her to stop from my block, and Roxas shouting. Before I could for her to run, Axel came out of nowhere and sent me flying out of the way with a strong kick, leaving Xion to turn around to look. I looked up just in time to see Axel to knock her out, and catch her unconscious form, her Keyblade falling to the ground and disappearing.
"Ngh…No!" I shouted, trying to stand up, only to fall back to the ground.
"Xion…" I heard Roxas say, and saw him dart towards Axel as he picked Xion up and heaved her over his shoulder. He looked back over at Roxas before disappearing into a dark portal, leaving Roxas alone, along with me. Roxas ignored me, and opened up a portal of his own, running in and leaving me, injured and weak, behind.
I pulled my com-link from my pocket. "R-Riku, you awake?" I said, trying my best to breath. Axel had knocked the wind out of me when he had kicked me.
"May, where are you? You sound like you're hurt." Riku said, his voice worried.
"Im at the Tram Common…in one of the enclosed alleyways. I got hit…pretty bad….I need you to come get me." I laid on my back, staring up at the sky.
"Im on my way."
I'm not sure how long I laid there, staring up at the sky. It wasn't very long until I heard footsteps running toward me.
"May!" I turned my head to see Riku running towards me. "Are you ok?" Riku said, glancing nervously at my limp form.
"How bad is it? "I asked as he looked. When he pulled my coat off, he grimaced at the sight. "That bad, huh?" I asked, a small chuckle coming from me.
"Did you get hit in the head?" He asked, carefully lifting me up in his arms.
"I got thrown into a wall. I pretty much got hit everywhere." I pointed out as he opened up a portal back to the mansion.
"What were you doing?" Riku asked as we walked through.
"Xion…they caught Xion!" I remembered, panicking slightly.
He was silent for a moment before asking me again. "What were you trying top do?"
"I was trying to stop Xion from doing something stupid. He came out of nowhere, and just knocked me out of the way." I explained the entire story as we walked through the doors of the mansion, and upstairs to my room, where he carefully laid me on the bed, quickly casting cure over me to heal my injuries.
"You just rest. I'll be right here." I heard Riku say, before I drifted off into a nice and calm sleep.
