Note: well, remember to read and review! So, Roxas and Sora have been apart for al long time now and well…I don't want to spoil anything. This chapter sort of has spoilers about the game, kh2. You, know, how Roxas forgets he was Sora and he seeks the answers. Well, this is where it all starts. Roxas and Axel are best friends and blah! Remember to review!
Apart
I was up the next morning early. His dad was up early for work and I wanted to ask permission if I could hang out with Axel again today. I hopped out of bed and scurried down the stairs. I slipped on the shiny wood floor. I fell and hit the wall. Then, as I looked up, I saw my dad hovering over me, smiling.
" Hey, Roxas." He said tousling my hair as I sat on the floor. " What did you want to ask me?" I looked up at him and smiled. " Oh, um, I just wanted to ask you if I could hang out with Axel today." I slowly got up and followed him into the kitchen. " Well, Roxas, could I trust you?" I looked at him with astonishment. Suddenly, he came over and tickled me from behind. " Of course I can trust you, Rox." He ruffled my hair and left the house and closed the door behind him. I waved through the window and watched as he gave me a thumbs-up before driving off. I ran up the stairs and into my room. I opened my closet to find what I should wear. I rummaged through all the clothes until I found what I wanted to wear. It was a shirt with a wolf howling at the moon and sprits of wolves surrounding him. On the back it said, "Howl to the Spirits". It was his ultimate favorite shirt. Sora sent it to him through the mail for his 9th birthday. He happily put it on and looked for shorts to wear. I found a pair of Black shorts, about 7 inches below my knee. My dad told me to wear a visor every time when I go out for the summer so I slapped on backwards a black visor with blue flames. I ran down the stairs and flew out the door. I excitedly ran toward Axel, who was sitting with his feet in the waterfall lake.
" Hey, Axel!" I said with a smile. I sat down next to him. He looked up at me and replied, "Hey, Roxas." He sighed and looked back down at the water. Then as I stared at his reflection, I noticed he had two purple scars or tattoos under his eyes.
" Axel, I've never noticed those scars under your eyes. Where'd you get them from?" I asked as I looked up at him. Axel blushed. " Oh, um, you don't need to now, Roxas." He got up and looked down. I was puzzled. Axel always told me if something was wrong. I put my hand on his shoulder and asked kindly, "Axel, please tell me. What's wrong?" Just then, I remembered I had asked axel questions about Organization XIII. Could my best friend, Axel be hiding something from me? Was he hiding one or all of the answers to my questions about my connection to Sora? I had always wondered why I knew how Sora felt, dreamed about, or all of his friends. It was just plain weird. I told Axel about all of this and he just answered, " I'll ask tomorrow." He probably asked and well, it must not be good.
After about ten minutes of sighing, Axel finally spoke.
"Roxas, remember those questions you asked me about yesterday? About your connection with Sora?" A tear went down his face and landed in the water. I looked up at him with my head tilted and a puzzled look on my face. " What about those questions?" I walked close to Axel who stayed in the same place, as solid as a rock. Axel replied with sadness in his voice, " You were never meant to live on this earth, Roxas." Axel then turned around to walk away, but I stopped him. I pleaded, " Axel, please tell me." I started to cry a little. Axel then sighed and headed toward the back of the Waterfall. He moved his hand forward and gestured me to follow. I followed him cautiously. We then reached a door on the back of the waterfall. I stared at it. It read: " Sora, the keyblade's chosen one will combine with the darkness in his heart and save Kingdom Hearts" I blinked. It couldn't be talking about the young, playful, little Sora that I've known since I was little…could it?
I than found the courage to ask, " Axel, am I the darkness in Sora's heart?" Axel looked at me surprised. He looked as if he thought I wouldn't catch up that fast. He nodded, knowing I would find out sooner or later. " Yes, Roxas. You are the darkness that will help Sora save Kingdom Hearts." I stared at the door again. I stretched my hand forward, trying to touch its shiny, brass knob. Then, like a bolt of lightning, Axel grabbed my hand.
I stared at him, confused and lonely. " Roxas, do you truly want to see what's behind that door?" I nodded. Axel took a deep breath and opened the door. Inside was the weirdest thing I have ever seen. It was a dome shaped container, looking as if it could hold a human. I looked at Axel who shook his head. " Roxas, Sora is soon going to be captured and put in this particular dome. He will stay there until you fuse with him." I shook my head at these almost cruel words that Axel spoke. " How could that be, Axel?" I asked, innocently yet very concerned. Axel just sighed. It all started when you were born.
Okay, I'll update soon! Poor Roxas!
