He opened his emerald eyes and groaned, everything was a blur, what had happened yesterday. He reached a hand up to scratch the back of his head, but yelped as pain surged through his arm. His eyes then fell upon his bandaged shoulder…and it started to come back to him. Xemnas' bloodlust, his continuous attacks…that torture that's what had happened yesterday. Giving a shiver he clung to his bed sheet trying to forget the horrible torture.

"Axel something wrong?" was the voice of the blonde. Axel opened his emerald eyes, not even aware he had closed them.

Axel shook his head, "No…no…nothing's wrong" he said in a shaky tone of voice, barely above a whisper.

Roxas shook his head sadly and sat up rubbing his eye and a giving a yawn looking absolutely adorable. He let out a sigh and stood up, wearing nothing, but pajama bottoms, "I'm glad you're talking again Axel. Me and Demyx were worried about you…what happened though?" he asked praying that he would answer him.

Axel gave a small groan and looked away; he couldn't tell Roxas what happened….even though he did want to. He knew if Roxas found out, the young boy would probably go confront Xemnas, and suffer what he had though possibly much worse.

Roxas gave a sigh, "So now you won't talk…Axel…come…on what happened?" he asked once more in a concerned tone.

Axel gave a sigh, "Nothing…nothing happened" he said in a sad and distant tone.

Roxas glared, "That's not nothing Axel. Nearly dying is not nothing" he responded, getting slightly annoyed. It truly annoyed him that Axel was being…for lack of a better word…stubborn. He wished Axel would tell him what had happened. Seriously, what had happened to Axel to make him so scared in a mere 24 hours? Couldn't Axel see that Roxas was merely trying to help.

Axel gave a sigh and looked away, giving a shudder as the images of yesterday flashed over and over again in his head, "Sorry Roxas, but it's not for you to know" he said in a distant tone, almost matter of fact.

Roxas rolled his eyes glaring slightly, with piercing blue eyes and turned to leave, pausing for a moment before opening the door, his hand in mid-turn, "Sorry for helping" he responded coldly under his breathe. He left leaving Axel alone.

Axel awoke awhile later, feeling horrible. He was in great pain, nauseous, hungry merely because he needed to eat, and he felt guilty. He was regretting what he had said to Roxas, though at the moment his other needs and feelings called out urgently.

There was then a knock upon his door. Axel gave a groan, not even finding the strength to speak. Luckily the Nobody that had waited for his ok to come in, know of his condition and wasn't stupid. Thus they opened the door and walked in on Axel still lying on the make shift bed wrapped in covers.

"So Axel…how are you doing? You…ahh…feeling…better?" Demyx asked in a false cheerful tone.

Axel gave a groan once more, 'Damn Demyx to hell' he thought, 'And to think he could've put a stop to all this, some friend he is,' he continued, 'Even though I didn't let him stop me. So it is my fault and this is my punishment for standing up for my friends. Well perhaps I should stick to my own business; like I used to…before …that…blonde…brat came along. Seriously why do I care for him…am I not a Nobody, a being not supposed to exist, a being without feelings, without a purpose. If that is the case, then why do I care for him why-?!'

"I made you breakfast Axel, well it was really Xaldin…though…I did bring it too you…since I figured…you would be hungry." responded Demyx, distracting Axel away from his thoughts.

Axel gave a sigh, not exactly liking the idea of eating at the moment. It was nice of Demyx to get him some food, but why Demyx…why…Demyx…wasn't Roxas the one taking care of him. Roxas had left the room he guess around an hour ago…he couldn't have been asleep longer then that, "Demyx," he stopped, he sounded weak and he voice barely above a whisper, he hardly recognized his own voice. He heard Demyx sit down upon Roxas' bed, intending to listen to what he had to say.

"Roxas left…about…and hour ago…right? I've…been…out not much longer…correct?" he managed to get out.

Demyx shook his head sadly, "No you've been out of it for about a day now…I'm even surprised you're up…I was expecting you to still be sleeping" he explained.

Axel then abruptly sat up, "Where's-!" he started but nearly blacked out, letting out a scream as pain shot through his body, just him sitting up was too much. Demyx winced; panicking he gently set him back down so that Axel was lying down once more.

"And you're still too weak, you need some food, you haven't eaten in 2 days" he urged as he reached for the food, but Axel placed a hand on his arm, wincing from the pain, but ignored it.

"No…I'll be…fine…where's…Roxas?" he asked in his weakened voice again as he forced his eyes to remain open, for his body screamed for rest.

Demyx gave a sigh debating whether or not to tell the red-haired man, "Well last I saw him he was playing cards with Luxord…just the other day. He's getting to know the other members, getting better acquainted" Demyx lied, his voice sounding slightly unsure and nervous.

Axel gave a small growl, immediately realizing that Demyx was lying, "Liar" he stated in his weak state.

Demyx gulped, "What do you mean I'm…not…lying" lied once more. It was very true he was lying, but telling Axel the truth would worry him.

Axel gave another growl, "Shut up and just tell me the damn truth," he said raising his voice slightly, resulting in a coughing fit, "Please…please…" he begged once the coughing had finished.

Demyx frowned, he guess Axel wouldn't be so stupid as to go look for Roxas so, it wouldn't hurt to tell him right? He gave a sigh, "Alright I'll tell you. Well when he left the room, I saw him leave. Concerned I asked what was wrong, but he walked past me, seeming upset about something. I then checked on you, but you had passed out from exhaustion. He's been missing for about a day now…and no one knows where he is." He explained sadly.

Axel opened his emerald eyes wide, for he had closed them to rest for a brief moment. He then forced himself to sit up, giving painful grunts as he did, "I have…to find him" he managed to say nearly passing out from the pain surging through his body.

Demyx shook his head, "Axel…no…you can't, you'll kill yourself if try to find him now…wait for him to come back…or wait until you can walk without further injuring yourself…besides I'm sure he's fine" he tried to reassure him.

Axel gave a groan and glared at the other man, eyes filled with determination. Forcing himself to stand, he was clothed in pajama bottoms apparently someone had the decency to clothe him. Once standing, he nearly black out, and onto to Demyx's should for support.

Demyx placed a hand on Axel's chest, trying to gently push him back down, "Axel go back to bed now!" he ordered.

Axel shook his head, "No…I need to find him" Axel persisted letting go of Demyx's shoulder he made it to the doorway, opening the door he caught his breathe at the frame and left the room.

He had been walking for about 30min to an hour and still no sign of Roxas. His body was screaming for him to stop, to just fall into the sweet and quiet darkness of unconsciousness, but Axel pursued. It was true no one had seen Roxas and being Nobodies stuck to their own business, plus guessed that if they tried to tend to or help Axel. Xemnas might disapprove.

Reaching the outside of the castle, Axel tried a new method of finding his teenage friend, "Roxas!" he screamed to the dark sky as tears started to fall down his face, from frustration, pain and the though of never being able to see Roxas again, "Roxas…I'm sorry!" he screamed to the skies once more. Taking another step, he all of sudden heard the sound of ripping followed by the feeling of intense pain. He let out a blood curdling scream and fell into darkness.

Another day later and his emerald eyes opened once more, staring into very familiar blue eyes, "Roxas…you're okay" he stated weakly.

Roxas couldn't help, but manage a smile, "Yes I am Axel" he responded in a matter of fact tone, "You passed out for a day again…your wounds opened up, and when you went out to search for me, you bandages came undone, but Zexion helped with the rebandaging. Vexen gave you a potion that should help you regain your strength" Roxas explained, still in that cold emotionless matter of fact tone. Almost having no concern for Axel, perhaps he was still mad at him or disappointed.

Axel merely nodded, not wanting to talk, "Are…you still…mad?" he managed to ask. Immediately regretting the fact that he asked it, worried about what the answer might be.

Roxas gave a sigh, "I wouldn't call it mad, just upset and slightly disappointed." He responded sadly, "I just wish you would tell me what happened to you. We're friends it's our duty to protect each other and to tell each other what is needed to be heard. But I understand, you are ashamed and do not wish to tell me why you were harmed to the point of death, pardon me for feeling concern" Roxas explained his tone becoming slightly annoyed near the end.

Axel let out a sigh, he wanted to tell him the fact that he wasn't ashamed of himself, he wanted to tell Roxas the truth. That it was his care for Roxas, that prevented him from tell the truth, "Yeah…I'm ashamed" he said quietly, lying, but it was all he could do.

Roxas gave a sigh and sat on the bed, "Fine…then…I think we shouldn't be friends…since it's hard to be your friend…when you have no idea…what a friend is."

Axel gave a exasperated groan, getting slightly annoyed, "How would you know what a friend is, you haven't even known me for a month and yet you assume we're friends. Why do I even care about you Roxas, we are Nobodies, we don't feel and we stick to our own businesses!" he replied raising his voice only to result in him coughing going into a fit.

Roxas frowned, looking away he never knew Axel could say such mean and heartless things, I guess not having a heart meant you could say such things, "Fine nice being your fri-…acquaintance while it lasted." Roxas said quietly once again leaving the room.

Well there is my short chapter 6. Poor Axel and Roxas they each want to help one another but there is always something in the way. Anyway please Review. Chapter 7 will probably start going into the Chain of Memories plot line. Its when Roxas finds out about Sora ZOMG OMG xD
