It seemed like a dream. I woke up, it was dark, and I felt surprising warmth cuddling me, holding my belly. Dizzily I saw a mass of red hair. I wanted to stay awake, but i was really tired and fatigued. So I rested my head down and fell back asleep. I wish I had stayed awake, maybe I could have seen if the person there was who I thought it was. But it seemed like a dream.

It only felt like a few seconds but I woke up, and there was only one source of warmth, the little sunray hitting my face. I sat up and stretched my rested limbs out of their sleepy state and look on the side of me, where I thought I felt the warmth. I put my hand on the spot next to me and I felt faint warmth. Like something was there long ago. I felt the baby moving in my stomach. I looked at my stomach and saw him or her pushing. It didn't feel weird at all, it felt like butterflies were fluttering around in my stomach. I placed my hand on the spot and felt inside and out him or her pressing and pushing. It was wonderful.

Before I new it, a smile spread on my face and found myself humming a tune to him or her. The vision of us resting in the castle in the sky sounds excellent at this point, just Axel, me, and our baby.

"Rox, are you awake?" I looked up and saw a mass of brown spiky hair and blue eyes spying around the corner of the tent door. I nodded, and he stepped in and smiled at me. I sat there and rubbed my belly where the baby was resting. He came over and sat next to me. "is the baby moving?"

"Yeah," I grabbed his hand and put it where the baby was pushing, "feel it?"

He jumped back and had a look of surprise and fascination. He kept his hand there and marveled at me. I sat there and let him whisper to the baby. "Rox, this is amazing. I can't wait to see my nephew or niece." I continued my flawless smile.

"Hey-" I started then stopped. Sora looked at me with confusion.

"What is it?"

I looked at him then saddened a little. "I woke up in a daze last night and thought I felt Axel next to me, but it seemed like a dream." I looked down and kept rubbing my belly.

"Axel is-" He paused a moment, "is here."

I looked at Sora with a murderous glare. "WHAT? Why didn't anyone wake me?" I got up, but felt a cramp in my belly and sat back down. My heart pumped fast in my chest, felt as though my heart was going to suddenly explode within my chest.

Sora looked at me then smiled. "He wanted to surprise you." He stood up and put out his hand. "He is waiting for you outside..." I looked at Sora and took his hand. He helped me up and we walked into the bigger part of the tent and there he was. He sat on the floor very skinny and pale. He had his red hair down in his face and he looked up to see me and then turned away.

I furrowed my brow and started to walk to him but then quickly stopped when I heard him speak. "Don't come over here right now. I don't want you to see me right now." Then Leon entered and sat down next to Axel.

"Why not? Axel, I love you and waited long to hold you again!" I started letting the tears fall from my face. "Please let me see you, I don't care if you have your face torn, I don't care if your face has anything on it, please let me hold you!"

Axel got up and walked to the door of the next tent. "Sorry Roxas, I couldn't live with myself if your eyes gazed upon my shame." He exited and never once looked at me. Sora immediately followed him and zipped up the door.

I cried and started to the door but immediately stopped by Riku. I looked up at him on the verge of crying, trying to break free of Riku's grasp on me. Riku stood firm. "Let him go." My legs felt wobbly and I fell with a soft thump. Riku caught me and helped me all the way down on the floor.

"Roxas," He spoke to me in my depressed mode, "I was promised not to tell you why this is, but I let you know now, just accept his wishes. He'll be right out and you can be with him."

I gazed at the boy through teary eyes wanting so much to slap him. I wanted to explode all over tears and

I hurriedly stood up with Riku's help and went back into my hidey-hole. I lay on the mattress and smashed my face down into the pillow. Why doesn't vur want me to see him? What the hell is going on?

Growing tired of laying on my side, I flipped over on my back and closed my eyes to stop building tears from escaping. Then I heard someone call him. He looked over to the tent flap and saw it to be Sora. I turned my head in frustration and closed my eyes to hold back the streams of tears that tried to escape.

"Rox..." I heard Sora say as I felt his movements coming toward me. I persisted my silence and my confusion.

Sora continued and lay next to me and I felt him cuddle me and rest his head atop mine. I felt his chest move and listened as he breathed in and out for his sigh. Then he spoke, "Rox, Axel changed into his demon form. When we got him, his appearance was unusual and very weird."

I opened my eyes, stared at him, and listened to more of his explanation.

"He didn't want you to see it Rox, he wanted your opinion of him to never change." Sora rubbed my belly, "He told me that he wanted so much to hold you, to kiss you again. But not as a horrible monster."

I sat there still silent, refusing to talk even though I knew Axel's origin. Sora laid with me still and petted my head making those words sink into my head. I got them; I processed them, over and over again. My brain accepts it, but my heart screamed loud at me. 'My opinion of him would never change! I love him and nothing would make me stop loving him! My vur, my flame that burns deep within me. Nothing, not even death itself would not extinguish that fire. It burns for eternity.'

We both sat down in the complete silence once more. Damn I hated this silence, but what else could I have listened to? I wasn't looking at Sora anymore but I could tell his emotion, he was worried and scared. Only I could probably guess right why he felt that way. Because of destiny, and because what might happen to us when we have served our cause here.

I wish I could tell him. I wish I had the correct answer, but I did not, I cannot. That is what makes me even more depressed.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw it, red hair and those emerald green eyes spying at me. Sora saw him too because he nudged me a bit to ask if I wanted to see him now. Of course I did, was he crazy? I nodded at him and we got out of the cuddle.

Axel stepped in looking thin and lanky staring at me with so much happiness and sadness in those beautiful eyes. He looked worn. It made me want to cry even more. Sora stood and walked out zipping the tent door behind him. I sat up and leaned on my arms back looking at the red head and then looking away.

I knew deep in my heart I was wrong for being a bit mad at Axel for this, but I couldn't help it. Axel slowly walked over to me and I shuttered at his movement. His hand calloused from the torture he has experienced touched my shoulder. My skin tingled feeling him here with me.

If only it had been a dream. To see his face and have it disappear on me again; I will not have it. Not again.

His hand slid down the outline of my arm to my hand, and placed a gentle kiss upon my neck. His other hand had slipped pass my arm and gently placed itself on my tummy.

'My love, I am sorry for this. But I cannot help life. I am a nasty creature, Angel, human, and demon. I did not wish you to see me as what I fight to get rid of everyday. The demon blood that fills me, I do not want it. I love you, forever my love.'

Tears fell down my cheek as he whispered in my ear. He held me close to him as though he never wanted to let me go.

"Axel," I turned to him through and gazed through my soaked eyes to stare into his. "I love you. And I always will for eternity and more."

Their lips met in a sweet embrace. Their hands and arms wrapped firmly around one another not letting go or wanting to. Axel suddenly lifted up the blonde like a sweet bride and carried him to the flat bed and laid him gently upon the mat.

Sweet birds still sung sweet melodies outside the tent. Animals in all their natural state scurrying in and through bushes and trees. The sun slowly going across the beautiful sky.

Moments slowly pass for the two men, as they slowly pulled garments off, as they held their bodies pressed against one another. Quiet moans escaped only to be heard by them.

Sweet pleasure filled their body cavities as they made sweet, sweet love to one another. Their hearts beat as one entire entity; for they are not separate, but whole.

As they climaxed, the men lay down, and held each other once more. They lay awake as the sun sets red, Smiling and enjoying each other's company.

'Soon, this will all be over.

And soon you will die'
