Chapter 36

Keyna yawned as she stretched, a few joints popped as she did. She paused as her foot hit something...or someone. Keyna sat up and saw Demyx at the foot of Axel's bed, curled into a ball.

"Dem..." she sighed, Keyna moved slowly to sit next to the sleeping Nobody.

Keyna poked Demyx in the rib, which caused him to squirm. Again she poked him, but in the cheek this time; the hydro swatted her hand away and gave a small groan. Keyna rolled her eyes, then an idea popped in her head. She took a deep breath and cupped her hands over her mouth.

"Wake Up!!"

Demyx awoke with a jolt, falling off the bed in the process, landing with a thud. Keyna rolled on the bed in a fit of giggles, holding her sides.

"T-the look...your face..." she gasped between giggles.

"You're so mean.' whined Demyx a pout on his face.

Keyna leaned forward, putting all her weight on her right arm, her left was held close to her stomach. She smiled at the hydro a small chuckle escaped her lips.

"Hey, take it easy on him, beside it's my job to scare Demyx. Got it memorized." Axel walked into his room "Come on, let's get out of here."

"What?" Keyna asked with a tilt of her head.

"Just come on."

Keyna walked out of Axel's room, the pyro close behind. Axel took Keyna to her room and leaned next to her door.

"Put some warm clothes on, I'm taking you some where."

Keyna ran into her room and quickly pulled on a gray turtle neck and black cargo pants. She grabbed her Organization coat and pulled it on, leaving the zipper open.

"So where to?" Keyna asked

"You'll find out soon; here you'll need these." Axel draped a red and black scarf around Keyna's neck, then tossed her a a pair of gloves.

"Oh! Are we going to Christmas Town?!"

Axel shook his head "No where close."

As Keyna thought over where they were going Axel pulled her into a portal. The confused girl looked around at the alley they stood in.

"Any guesses?" Axel asked, pulling his hood up so it rested on top of his head.

Keyna shook her head as she wrapped the scarf around her neck, a shiver ran through her. Coping the red head she too pulled her hood up.

"Come on let's go." Axel motioned for her to follow. They walked around the building to a lard lot. Keyna quickly recognized the large space, a smile grew on her face.

"Twilight Town!"

Axel nodded "Thought it would be nice to relax somewhere comfortable for you." Axel walked to the center of the large lot. "Promise me something, stay close, and don't talk to anyone; we can't risk you being recognized, okay."

Keyna nodded, she adjusted her scarf around her neck to cover her birthmark.

"Are you hungry, you haven't eaten since last night?"

As if on cue Keyna's stomach gave a low rumble, her face grew a light shade of red.

"I'll take that as a yes." Axel said "What do you want?"

"No idea, you pick some where." Keyna said with a shrug.

Axel and Keyna walked into the main market place, a few shops were just opening for the day, others were still closed. Axel looked around at each shop looking for some kind of food.

"Stay here, I'm just going over there." Axel pointed to a man pushing a small food cart.

The red head jogged over to the cart. The man stopped and greeted his first customer of the day.

"Good morning young man, what can I get you?" he asked with a smile.

"Two hot chocolates please." Axel said.

"Two for just one?" the man chuckled.

Axel shook his head "One's for her." He pointed his thumb behind himself.

The cart owner smiled and gave Axel two large cups of the hot drink. "Six munny."

Axel paid him and walked back to Keyna handing her the hot beverage.

"This can hold you over til we get back to the castle." he said before sipping his drink.

Keyna sipped her own, giving a sharp gasp as the hot liquid burned her tongue.

"Careful, it's hot." Axel said before taking another sip.

"Jerk, you could have told me before I drank it!" growled Keyna, she punched Axel lightly on the arm "How it yours alright for you."

"Uh...because heat doesn't bother me." Axel said, dodging another punch from Keyna.

The girl rolled her eyes before walking back to the sandlot. Axel grabbed her coat sleeve and turned her around.

"Come on let's go to the forest. No one will be there."

Keyna followed the pyro to the large crack that lead to Twilight Town forest. The two sat down, their backs against a tree.

"Keyna sighed "I haven't been in this forest in so long..."

Keyna blew on her hot chocolate and carefully sipped it, smiling at the delicious taste.

"Axel...when will I be able to leave The Castle That Never Was?" Keyna asked in a small voice.

"Axel hesitated"...I...don't know."

With a sigh Keyna looked up at the sky and she closed her eyes. Her eyes snapped open as a sound met her ears.

"Hey-"

Keyna shushed Axel, she stood; closing her eyes again, listening carefully. Axel stood as well, looking at her.

"What is it?" he asked in a low voice, hearing the sound as well.

Keyna dropped her drink and ran towards the the far end of the forest; Axel ran right behind her. The pyro did nothing to stop Keyna from running straight to the mansion. The large gates that surrounded the old building were open.

Keyna burst through the doors and ran up the stairs; as she neared the door the sound came from Keyna slowed to a walk. With a trembling hand she reached for the door knob, opening the door slowly. Her heart was racing. The music grew louder, the gentle sound of a piano.

A blond haired man and woman sat on the piano bench. As the man played, the woman sat with her back to the piano. Her eyes were closed, a smile on her face; she rested her head on the man's shoulder. The song ended, the man stayed seated, his back still facing Keyna.

"I...thought...I thought you were dead." Keyna whispered, a shaking hand covered her mouth, muffling a whimper. Tears began to blur her vision and fell down her cheeks.

Roxas turned to look at Keyna; Namine stood but didn't go towards Keyna. Roxas slowly walked towards Keyna and stopped in front of her.

"You're alive!" Keyna exclaimed as she threw herself into Roxas' arms, crying into his chest. The blond wrapped his arms around Keyna, burying his face in her hair.

"Keyna" he whispered holding the girl close.

"My baby girl." Namine said, hugging the girl close.

"H-how? When?" Keyna clung to Namine, crying into her shoulder.

Slowly Namine kneeled down, the two sat on the floor. Keyna turned her head slightly on Namine's shoulder and shook as she sobbed. The blond combed her hand through Keyna's hair, murmuring calming words.

"We were brought back be Xenos, but...not Sora and Kairi." Roxas kneeled next to the two "It was about five months ago he brought the whole Organization back."

Keyna sat back, she still shook and her breathing was shaky too. Axel leaned on the doorway, watching the three.

"You knew...didn't you." Keyna looked up at the red head.

Axel nodded "Xenos didn't want you to find out about them, really her= doesn't know you're here."

"I wouldn't be so sure Axel." Roxas looked at the pyro. "With the restraints, he can easily know what world she's in."

Axel sighed "I'll take the blame okay." the pyro shrugged of the door frame and rubbed the back of his neck, then looked at Keyna "I should take you back, before things get bad."

"No! Please Axel, no!" Keyna sobbed gripping Namine's coat sleeve.

"Keyna it's alright, we'll come back with you." Namine hugged the girl "We're not leaving you, not again."

"C'mon, let's get going" Axel said, opening a portal.

With a sigh Axel leaned his head back against the wall. Demyx sat across from the pyro, a bored expression on his face.

"Man, Rox is in trouble." Demyx said breaking the silence.

"Nah, ya think Dem?!" Axel rolled his eyes

"I think I got off pretty easy." Roxas grinned as he limped down the hallway.

A large slash went across the blond's face, blood streaked down his face.

"If that's easy, then I got off with a slap on the wrist." Axel pointed to the bruise on his cheek. The red head stood and leaned on the wall.

Roxas smirked, he ran his middle and index finger over the cut as he walked. As the two fingers glided over the wound it healed, not a scar to be seen.

"Is she asleep?" he asked looking at Keyna's door.

Axel and Demyx both nodded, Roxas walking in leaving the door open. Namine stood next to Keyna's bed, Roxas wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her cheek.

"She's grown so much, heck I remember when I carried her in my arms." Roxas smiled and bent down. He kissed Keyna's temple and patted her head "Happy Birthday baby girl." Again Roxas smiled and walked out of the room Namine close behind.

Roxas and Axel exchanged glances and walked of to the side.

"January twenty-second,over a month already..." Axel folded her arms.

Roxas looked at him "We have to get her out of here, soon." Roxas sighed, he ran a hand through his spikes. "First off we need to get rid of the restraints."

"How are we going to do that?" Axel asked.

"Well we know Xenos won't take them off." Roxas rolled his eyes as he stated the obvious. "However...there is the Keyblade."

Axel thought for a moment then nodded "That's true...what's the worst that can happen..."
