A/N: Wow... I am highly offended! Only one review? Fine then, thanks to Naughty Sensei, for reviewing... (crys emo tears) Gawd, whatever! I'm updating!

Ch 2- Fight For Me

"I'm still confused," Roxas ran his hand through his golden blond locks, "were you gay, also?"

Axel smiled, "Roxas, we were in love."

Roxas pulled the covers back over his head. Axel spoke quitely, "I'm gonna leave you alone for a bit." Roxas grunted in reply.

When he heard the soft click of the door shutting, he lowered the blankets and sighed heavily. 'Gay, huh?' he thought, 'Hah, who'd think I'd be a flamer, eh?'

Axel stood at the kitchen sink and washed the dishes from breakfast. 'Maybe if I hit him in the head,' Axel considered, 'it would bring back my old Roxas.'

He held a wet pan in his hands, studying it a moment. The tall male shook it off, 'Really, Ax, get a hold on life!. You're just too desparate.'

Axel put the pan down and walked down the hallway to his room, to see if Roxas had gone insane from the shock or not. He stopped outside the door, which was barely cracked. 'I just can't take that he's one.'

He pushed the door open the rest of the way and walked inside. Roxas had a picture frame in his hands. "There's you, me, and..."

"Demyx," Axel filled in the blank for him, "my cousin."

"Demyx." Roxas repeated. He looked at Axel, "Can you tell me what exactly happened?"

Axel smiled, and approached him, "Sure," he replied. He sat in a big chair next to the bed, and prepared to tell Roxas the real story of what had happened.

"You, me, and Demyx were all in the Organization. Mind you, at this time, it wasn't corrupt as it is now. It was actually like a support group, or another family, who all had the same goals, and helped you through tough times in life. About a year ago, you took a mission. We didn't see each other much then. The mission was going all well and fine until Namine was sent to restore Sora's memory. She found you were connected to him. When I heard this, I was really upset. I knew we wouldn't be seeing much of each other anymore, if ever again. I tried talking to Xemnas, but he just coldly told me to toss you into a parallel Twilight Town."

"Xemnas..." Roxas repeated, "He's in charge isn't he?"

"You remember?" Axel looked anxiously at the boy.

"Mm hmm," Roxas smiled a bit, "But just keep going."

"So, Xemnas assigned me to take you there, erase your memory, and put new ones in," Axel sighed, "The day you had to leave, we spent together, just here, in this house. Talking, and well, you know what I mean..."

Roxas blushed... He did know what he meant.

"And so finally, when it was 2 p.m., we had to go. So I opened a pathway, and we stepped into Twilight Town. You started crying then. I kissed you, and just did what I had to. I erased your memories. No one expected you to get so involved in Sora, and eventually we found out that you were his Nobody. But when you gained the Keyblade, Xemnas thought it would safest if we brought you back to monitor. So that's when I was sent back in to get you," Axel sighed, "I really wish we didn't have to fight so much. I hate it."

He paused a moment, and looked at Roxas for any sign of register. Roxas felt tears well behind his eyes, but he wasn't sure why. The Past Roxas must've been really affected by this whole situation, he concluded. "I-I'm sorry, Axel," the young blond finally replied, "for all of the pain I have caused you."

Axel sighed, "It just sucks completely. But, you know, I'm trying my best to get you back. I did manage to leave you with bits of memories of us. So one day I could try to find you again. I think talking about it helps, you know?"

"Mm hmm. And you know what?" Roxas looked at Axel and smiled, "I think I really want to come back to you."

But Roxas's smile was interrupted by a sharp, deep, burning pain in his chest. He clutched at his wound, and there was that dark pathway swirling around him in wisps. Axel grabbed the surgical scissors, still sitting on the table, and ripped through the medical bandages. A deep voice boomed throughout the room, "AXEL, YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR INSOLENCE!"

Suddenly, everything stopped. Roxas fell back against the pillows, and the room was clear again. Roxas winced, still clutching his chest, and let warm tears leak from his eyes. "Axel..." he whined, breathing heavily, "Ouchh..."

In less than a second, Axel was at Roxas's side, and held him back down by his shoulders. "Ssh, ssh, Roxas, you're fine, it's okay now!"

Roxas wrapped his arms around Axel's shoulder's and pulled him down to him. "Axel," he whispered his name.

Axel climbed into the bed, and held Roxas, his wound was exposed enough for a little blood to get on his stomach and Axel's shirt. He let Roxas cry on him, while Axel rubbed his back gently. "You'll be all right, let me see it now."

Roxas sniffed and nodded, leaning off of Axel to show him the damage. "It's fine, don't worry. I'll cover it up again."

Axel ran to the bathroom and came back with a bandage wrap. He wrapped Roxas up, then helped him back under the covers. "You know, Roxas," Axel started, "That I'll never give you up. I'll never go back to Organization XIII. Not as long as they want to hurt you."

Roxas blushed, "Thank you, Axel."

Axel smiled, "And I'm not gonna let you get away from me again!" His smile suddenly turned stern, "You got me on that?"

Roxas looked a little scared, "Sure, Axel."

Th red head male sat back in his chair and looked at Roxas, "You should be better tomorrow."

"Really?" Roxas asked, "That soon?"

"Well when you're a Nobody, you heal a lot faster than someone with an entire heart," Axel answered.

Roxas frowned, "Hey, this 'Nobody' talk is pissing me off. Stop it."

Axel was a little stunned, "Hahaha, pissin' ya' off huh?" He laughed, "Okay, fine then."

The last few hours of their day were spent by the two boys talking and sharing memories. Axel of their past, and Roxas of his Twilight Town friends. Roxas soon fell asleep in the bed, and Axel, in his chair.

"Zemnas," DiZ approached his boss, a keyblade drawn, "How are you going to fight this? Now we have two escapees. There is no way that Sora will ever be restored at this rate:

"DiZ!" Xemnas boomed back, "Shut up, assemble a team, and TAKE them back!"

DiZ nodded and ran out of the computer room, into an area where several Organization members and some dusks were standing around. He began barking orders at the dusk flunkies. "And you! Come with me!" A man with his hood down to reveal spikey blond hair replied, "The name's Demyx, dude."

The morning came too soon for Axel and Roxas. "Mornin' Sunshine!" Axel greeted his blond love with Cheerios, "After breakfast, we'll check out that rip."

Roxas gave a big smile, "Thanks, Axel." They had talked a ton yesterday, and Roxas was feeling a lot calmer about being in this situation with the red head, you might even say he was getting a crush on him.

"No prob, kiddo," Axel smiled back.

But before they could even take a bite of breakfast, they were thrown into the dark realm, and were greeted by a sight of hundreds of Nobodys and a blond male, Demyx.

"Demyx, what the hell?" Axel shouted at his cousin, summoning his chakram.

"Hey man, sorry!" Demyx replied.

Roxas, still in shorts without a teeshirt, drew his Keyblade, and took stance for battle. "No!" Axel hollered, "Roxas, just run!"

"Where!" Roxas questioned, "We're surrounded!"

Axel made a dash for the young blond, but before Axel could reach him, the dusks blocked his path. 'He's way too injured to be fighting!' Axel panicked. He heard a scream from Roxas, slicing through another dusk. "Roxas! Hold on!" he screamed back.

Axel ripped through five, ten, twenty, and suddenly, all of the Nobodies dissapeared, along with Roxas. It was only Axel and Demyx left.

"Dude," Demyx approached axel, drawing his sitar forward, "Come back to the Organization."

Axel screamed in rage, "Roxas is hurt!"

"Ssh, ssh, ssh..." Demyx mocked, "He'll be taken care of."

A scream rose from Axel's throat and he charged at Demyx, "Bastard!"

Axel slashed a hole in the black coat the blon wore. Demyx countered by smacking Axel square in the ribs with the heavy end of his sitar, sending Axel flying. Axel rose to his feet, "Dem, just let him go. We can all get out and go back to our old life," Axel pleaded.

"Hmph, life will never be the same. The Organization is my new life!" Demyx jumped into the air, "Water!" he cast his spell.

Axel was blown into the air with bone crushing pressure on his body. He dropped onto the ground. Demyx stood over him with one foot on his chest, pressing hard. Axel grabbed his ankle and flipped him onto the ground. He launched his chakram, which spun across Demyx's chest, ripping up the cloth.

"Not cool!" Demyx yelled, sending another blast of water at the crimson haired hero.

Axel jumped and dodged the attack, hitting Demyx square in the cheek. The two continued their fight for what seemed forever, but was probably only a few minutes. Finally, they were down to last blows. Axel jumped into the air, and on decent, he swung at Demyx, and nailed a spike through his side. Demyx fell to the ground, which in turn, swallowed him up. Axel was devoured soon after.

Roxas was screaming, that's all Axel could figure out. When he opened his eyes, he could see Xemnas, elbow deep in Roxas's chest. He pulled a small object out of the now gaping hole in the blond. "Hm. Hahaha! Now that I have Roxas's heart, I can finally complete Sora!"

Roxas's body went limp. "And I don't need you to help me," Xemnas spat at the young boy.

Axel quickly jumped up, and ran at Zemnas. He reached his hand up to grab Roxas's half-heart. Xemnas pulled back, leaving Axel to crash into the wall. The Organization leader dropped the half'heart into Roxas's chest and turned to Axel. Calmly, he spoke, "You want to save your love. I understand. Let us fight for him."

Axel grunted, regaining his balance, "When and where?"

"Tomorrow morning, 5 a.m. All pathways will lead to the battle ground."

The room went white, and suddenly, Roxas was asleep in bed, and Axel was wide awake in the chair.
