Flurry of One Hundred Dancing Flames

by Timber Wolf of Purity

Some say losing your heart is a tragedy- Not so. Some say losing your best friends in less than two weeks is. Now that... is a tragedy. Who is Axel really? What happened to him before he lost his heart? What happens after he regains it? Will he see Xion again? Xion promised to always be by his side. He promised to always bring her back.

"Burn, baby!" Axel laughed dangerously. "Burn!" The Heartless twitched under his blow and curled up before disintegrating. He dispelled his chakrams, his eyes gleaming. He'd gotten a little out of hand for a bit with his adrenaline pumping.

"Xion!" he exclaimed with a start. Heading back to the spot where he'd left her, he fell to his knees beside her.

Her side was damp, but he couldn't tell if it was blood due to her black clothes.

"Hey, Xion, you okay?" he asked, lifting her head to look at him.

Her eyes fluttered open. "Axel?"

Relieved, he rested her head in his lap and to work. "Don't talk too much. I'll take care of ya, don't worry. Curaga!"

So... Axel's a little awkward at the beginning, but he's nice at the end... right?
