Chapter I
A Flock of Ambition

Organization XIII gathered in the audience hall, for Xemnas had another announcement. Xion stood beside him. Her eyes looking to the floor. Roxas tilted his head left and right to try and see her face. When she finally looked up, a jolt of sharp pain aroused his chest. The pain stirred through his body and tingled the tips of his fingers. He panted heavily, and looked back up at her. She reached out her hand slightly, with a worried expression slipped over her face. He held himself up, and stood straight up. He missed half of what Xemnas was talking about, but started to listen in.

" With the second wielder of the Keyblade, Xion, we will be able to awaken the long forgotten Heart of the world-- Kingdom Hearts! " he said, patting his hand on Xion's shoulder. She slightly turned her head to him, but then ressumed staring at the floor.

Roxas' curiosity perked. Why is she so down?

" The day has finally come. " Xemnas exclaimed. " Tomorrow, we bring our battle on the shadows who have devoured many hearts. Let us gain our revenge on those who refuse to keep us. "

The sun set on the golden sea, striking a brilliant shine that reached out to Twilight Town. Roxas and Axel were perched up on the top of the Twilight Tower, eating some seasalt icecream. Roxas gazed lovingly at the scintillating ocean beyond. He enjoyed every morsel of his salty treat. Axel on the other hand, looked like he wanted to pick it apart.

His tongue layed the first touch, when he suddenly yelped. " Geez! That's awfully salty! " Roxas laughed. " Hey, don't laugh. I don't even know how you can stand this stuff! "

Roxas shrugged. " Guess it's something you get used to. " He licked away at his popcicle, then said, " Like your taste for coffee. "

" I'll have you know!... " Axel started. His face expression told him that he gave in. " ..ah. You're right. "

They both exchanged smiles and laughed together.

The poise of the tiding colors in the sky slowly came together, and the sky darkened revealing specks of light. A figure below was staring beyond the ocean at the bottom of the tower. Roxas squinted his eyes to try and see who it was. It was Xion. He smiled and got up quickly to go see her. He was stopped by a sudden tug. Axel had held of his arm.

" What are you doing? " he hissed.

He was shocked by Axel's emotion in his eyes. He seemed furious with jealousy. He hestitated on what to say. The grip on his wrist let loose, but the words that came from his friend's lips were harsh,

" Don't get close to her. "

Namine drew as many memories as she could, but none would return to Sora. The next picture just fell crumbling to the ground. She sighed, clutching the sketchpad to her chest.

" Sora... "

" Namine. " a voice called.

She turned around to find DiZ standing before her.

" How goes the process of restoring his memories? " he asked, walking beside her.

" No matter how I assemble his memories they just flow out. " she began to explain. " All of them are not able to return to their origin. All the memories have to be put back where they belong or else they won't be able to change. "

" Is that so... " he said. A troubled look peeked in his eyes. " What if his heart is missing a few memories, will his body be able to awake? "

" In that case, we would have to use the vital key so that he will awaken. "

" Namine, what do you think will happen? "

She walked over to the chamber Sora slept in. She stroked her hand over it and her head lowered.

" If the wrong memories are connected... " she whispered, her voice full of sorrow. " ...she wouldn't beable to stand it. "

" She? " DiZ questioned.

A/N - Nothing really to say. But I'm sure those who like Roxas x Axel are cheering a little right about now.
