Whoa! Over 3,000+ words for this one kids ;D I have tried to slow the pace down *hint* 3,000+ :L
Overall I am quite pleased with this chapter, Axel is back... I have some romance, and pittyness like you do... Also as per wish of friends I have added them (still more to add), but on that note Roxl and soon Cakmine :') I'm trying to make everyone happy, but at the same time involve the plot of Berxceca, and her love for Axel as in all my Fanfictions, and wishes of friends there as-well :')
ENJOY!

The outside was capped in snow, everywhere in the World That Never Was was white. A blanket coated the whole area. Parx was prancing down the corridors with Cakx, as Lett strolled behind rolling her eyes at the ordeal. Roxas and Aura where strolling walking down talking together, as they had grown abnormally close to each other over the past weeks. Die walked along side Lett, as he was into a book. Recently he was helping Vexen with research into Kingdom Hearts, and was sent various side quests. Today though everyone had a day off, and even Vexen was away from his lab. Axel was still missing, and Berxceca within her room sat in her window looking at the streets below. Foot prints led from the town to the castle, and then back. She thought before going from the window and opening her door, able to walk normally again but still hurt. "SNOW!" Parx smiled at Bex as she opened the door. "Yeah, I'm just nipping outside!" She said sliding past her, as she closed her door behind her. "We will come too, we have not hung around for like ages." Parx said, as she followed behind Bex, along with Cakx. "See you later guys, we are off to the Grey area. I'm not going out in that snow!" Lett said, as Die nodded in agreement. "Where of to Twilight Town." Roxas said to them. "I'm starting to get worried about Axel, so we are starting a search there. Axel should not be out in the snow it gives him a strange temperature." "I understand I will join you soon. I have to check something out for myself." Berxceca told him, as they gave each other a nod heading there own ways.

In Twilight Town in Tram Common snow was gently falling from the grey sky, starting to cover the ground. "So where should we start?" Aura asked looking around the place, as a tram passed by them. "Maybe the place we always use to meet?" He suggested, as he started to walk up Market street. Aura tagged behind him, as she felt something was wrong with Roxas. The soon reached Station Plaza, as they walked out from Market Street. Roxas looked up at the clock tower, as Aura followed. "No one there!" Roxas sighed, as Aura put a hand on his back. "Lets go up to look just to make sure." She told him, as he gave her a nod. They walked up the stairs in the station all the way to the top, as they reached the top Roxas looked around all four faces with no luck. The snow had coated all the tower, so they had to be careful of where they stepped. Roxas pushed some snow of one the ledges that over looked the town, and offered Aura a hand. She felt warm threw her cheeks, as the bitter cold swept the land. She took his hand, as he helped her sit down on the ledge, and he sat down besides her. "Its lovely up here!" She told Roxas amazed at the view over the town. "Yeah you... yeah it is." He corrected himself, as he then gave a sigh. "What is it Roxas? You can tell me?" She told him, as they looked at each other, and Roxas then looked away. "Before you arrived we had these other friends, and they all had a place here. We would always meet here after the day had ended, and well they all started to vanish. Things happened, and the group split up. As you can guess Berxceca stayed even though she made enemies here, she could not bare leaving the rest of us behind." Roxas explained to her. "That's why you and your friends are here." "What do you mean?" Aura asked confused leaning a bit to far over the edge. "AURA!" Roxas cried as she slipped from the tower. The snow started to freeze and around and around into a spiral shape, and into a sort of slide. Auraxl slid down the slide down to the ground on to a soft cold landing of snow. Roxas rushed down the stairs, and froze as he saw the person who had saved Aura. The girl had an organization coat, along with brown-pinkish base hair and pink streaks. "J...J...Jessciex? How why?" Roxas said, as he shuck of the shocking running over to help Aura up. "Well allow me to explain..."

Lett and Die slumped on the sofas listening to Demyx practicing on his Sitar. Demyx was a blond nobody, and had a mullet matching that of his party attitude. His blue eyes matched his element of water, and the color of the sitar. "Huh! I can't believe this! I think I prefer to be out on a mission... Some where warm..." Lett said lying back on the sofa staring up at the grey ceiling thinking of something interesting to do. "Enjoy the rest while you can, as I assume it will not get any easier." Die said thinking upon things himself. "Game on?" Luxord said approaching them. "After all since your the only one I seem unable to defeat, I may well spend the vacation defeating you." "Yeah sure..." Die said, as Lett sit up. "I'm in too!" She said. "Although only I game I know." Luxord rolled his eyes "Fine! Your call." He said sitting down on a chair, as he pulled his cards out shuffling them. "Rummy!" She grinned. "Fine fine!" He said placing seven cards down for each, and placing the rest on the table turning the top one over and to the side. Left of him was Die who took one of the pile and discarded, and so it went on for hours. Until... Lett put down all the sets in her hand, and having no cards left she lied back on the SOFA. "HOW?" Luxord said miffed, as Die was not surprised. "Well why us to where concentrating on each other, she was free to well win..." Die explained, as Luxord gave a huff. A laughter came from Demyx, as Luxord stood up. "Beat by a girl at your own game! Haha must be a bummer!" Demyx cried in laughter, as Luxord walked over to him. His shadow loomed over Demyx, and he stopped laughing hiding behind his Sitar looking up at him. "Now now!" Demyx said cowering. "Hey! Lay of dude." Lett said standing behind Luxord "Come on it was funny!". Luxord grumbled seeing she was being serious about it, and he was not about to argue with her. He moved on staying out of her way. "Thanks!" Demyx sighed in relief. "Don't mention it." She said, "At least you have some music sense around here." "You like it?" He said surprised "Usually its 'DEMYX STOP THAT AWFUL NOISE!'" "Nah its fine, and your cool. Laters!" Lett said, as she head on out the Grey Room having enough for the day.

Outside Bex was following the tracks in the snow, as Cakx and Parx followed behind her. "So why do you think these tracks are here?" Cakx asked the leading Berxceca. "Well I have a felling someone has been around here, and she has been spying. There where others before you, the reason why your numbers are five behind mine. They are out there somewhere, and I have a feeling I know who this one is." Bex said still following on the tracks. "An old friend?" Parx guessed. "A reason why we are all feeling these emotions, because according to Die we are not meant to be feeling them." "Yeah like that! She gives you back that part, makes being a nobody a whole lot better. That is when you can still feel, as you have no real heart to break. Even though the pain is still there you can not die from it." Bex explained to them, as her tone sadden. "And where ever Skatxre is I have a feeling she is still looking out on the new recruits, and over me and Axel where ever he is." "You will find him... I know you will." Parx said running up in front of her giving stopping her in her tracks to give her a hug. She also gained a hug of Cakx. "Thank you guys..." She said wiping a tear from her eye, as she gave a smile. "That's why we are here... I think... Well as your friends." Cakx told her. "Right." She gave a nod of her head breaking away from there hug, heading down the track stopping again, and running her hand over the prints. The two friends watched as she did, and she stood up. "A little trick Axel taught me last year during the snow fall before I was sent away to get you." She explained standing up. "I have a feeling we won't be catching them anytime soon, and besides we will freeze if we stay here any longer. We might as well help Roxas, and we will start where I could not complete my last mission, as it seems logical." They both gave a smile, as they all headed threw a portal Bex opened.

Back to the Pride lands Cakx and Parx both now lions. Parx had a more darker brownish scruff compared to the rest of her, and at the end of her tail, along with all four paws like socks. Cakx was a more grayish color with a jet black mane along with one paw, and tail tip to match. They both stumbled around trying to get use to four paws. Bex's bandages where now visible, as blood still was stained in her fur. A scratch across her nose, and a cut healing nice on a hind leg reaching from top to bottom on her lower leg. She stared across the Pride lands. "What are they from?" Parx asked shocked at the bandages just getting use to the four legs. "From trusting someone that should not be trusted, but I had no choice anyway." She said still gazing across the lands. She was not sure what Axel's lion forum was like, as a lot had happened, and some of her memories where gone from the machine. "Marluxia?" Cakx asked just use to his as well. She turned around to them both giving them a nod. "So if we are in Pride lands and its this void of life." Cakx said looking around. "Simba is not yet on the throne if I am right?" Bex gave him a nod again. "Come on lets have a look around." They looked over the place, as they split different ways to check different places. Cakx took the elephant graveyard, Parx took Pride Rock, and Bex took the jungle and oasis.

Bex entered that of the jungle, as heartless appeared around her. She could not use her weapon here, so she had to use tooth and claw to fight. Getting threw the heartless was a hard job, but eventually they where all gone. She was then pounced upon, as the two rolled threw the forest growling. She was pinned agiest the ground looking up to see a red colored lion like her, with a bright mane spiked in various places with the same color tear drops under his eyes. "You seem familiar!" She said stopping her growling, as she looked at the lions emerald eyes. "I should!" He said with a grin getting of her, as she rolled from her back standing back up. "AXEL!" She said unable to contain the name, as she ran her muzzle threw his mane. Axel gave her a lions hug. "Where have..." She started. "I was away looking for something." He said answering her question before she could finish. She stepped back from him, as she looked down with a sad glance. "What has happened?" He asked concerned seeing the stitches down her side, and various other injuries. "Stampede." She told him in a sad tone. "I thought you left!" "Would I really leave you?" He said giving her a nuzzle, as she turned from him heading into the Oasis. "It was Marluxia's doing wasn't it, for both!" "Both of what?" She sighed slumping on the cliffs edge in the grass. "No one told you!" He said standing behind her with a concern voice. "He should have done, and he should have been looking after you. I argued so much agiest it, as I knew he would try it again, but Saix tried reassuring me he wouldn't." "So what was this thing?" She asked him, as he lied down beside her. "I had to go after the person's footprints you saw in the snow, and you where right about are friend." He said giving her a smile trying to cheer her up, as she gave a short one still looking over the horizon of the now setting sun of the Pride lands head upon her paws. "I failed to find her." "No... She does not want to be found, and you know that as much as I." She told him. "Why did you not say something when you where spying upon us?" "You where gone so quick before I could." He told her, as she raised her head he place his over her paws looking up with the best cute eyes he could. She shook her head in disbelieve, but with a smile placed her head upon his soft mane.

"So this is where she has gone!" Cakx said quietly with a smile, as Parx gave a smile. "Awww its so sweet, and it seems Axel is back." Parx said. "Seems so." Cakx said, as he gave a quick look back from a noise behind them. Parx followed his gaze "What is it?" She asked him. "You two had best come out!" They both turned there heads to see Axel gazing at them, as his rested over the sleeping Berxceca. They stepped out the brushes. "How did you know?" Cakx said, as a grin came across Axel's face. "Well its natural for me, and you where making rather a lot of noise." He told them. "We where just..." Parx started to explain. "Safe it. I know you came looking for Bex, and yeah I agree we best start heading back." Axel said, as he lifted his head giving Bex a nudge. She opened her eyes slow, and lifted her head. "Huh?" She said clearing her mind. "Come on sweet where heading back." He helped her up to her feet, as he summoned a portal. Parx and Cakx where the first ones threw, as Cakx turned before disappearing threw the corridor. "Don't take to long now!" he grinned and sniggered before disappearing threw the corridor. Bex and Axel smiled at one another, as Bex licked Axel up the side of his face before they headed back.

They all arrived back within the Grey room, as Saix was stood there as if expecting them. Both Axel and Berxceca gave a gulp about the look he had on his face, as though he was not glad to see that they where seen together. Rather to the fact as if they still where not allowed. "Tomorrow night is the masquerade." He sighed. "As every year! This time it will be held at Beast's Castle." He sundered off, as the nobodies looked at one another. "So another day off?" Cakx asked. "Yeah, even nobodies celebrate Christmas, even though we can not afford gifts. So Saix intends on setting up this party like thing. I guess its like his way of showing he cares without actually showing it." Axel told them. "Either way I guess I will be seeing you all tomorrow night then! Come on Bex." He placed his arms over Bex's shoulder, as he walked her back to her room. "Good night my Berxceca, I will be seeing you tomorrow night since I have have things to do in the morning." He told her, as he took one of her one of her hands, placing something within it then placing the other hand on top of it. "For you and your friends tomorrow." "Axel..." She said, as Axel felt as though she was about to protest something he cut her off with a kiss. Before drawing off he swept some hair around her ear, "Sleep well." He whispered in her ear before walking of down the corridor. "You too..." She said watching him go.

Meanwhile Cakx walked Parx back to her room. "Night Parxsai." Cakx said giving her a hug. "See you in the morning?" "Yeah defo." She said hugging him back. "Night, see you in the morning. I will meet you in the kitchen." "Ok." He said releasing her from the hug, as Parxsai walked into her room closing her door behind. Cakx walked down the white corridor, and at one of the crossings of corridors he saw Marluxia walk past with a girl around Cakx age. She was dressed in a white dress with white hair. Cakx watched as they walked past, and not far behind was what seemed like a furious Axel. He edged his way to the corner hiding behind it to hear in. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!" The furious red head pinned the rather nervous flower boy agiest the wall. "Orders hey!" He tried getting his way out. "Not my fault she turned out a hopeless fighter." Axel's grip got tighter on his throut. "Calm down!" Marluxia struggled on the urge of choking. "You went to far! You could have killed her this time! Your revenge is getting out of control. Don't you think she has suffered enough from you." Axel growled. "So what's this? Can't she stand up for herself? Oh that's right she choices not too, and my job was to make sure she does fight. I think that turned out well." He grinned as he saw Axel's face madden. "I swear Marluxia if it was not for Xemnas and Saix I would have killed you long before now for the misery you cause my friends." He snarled before dropping him to the ground. The girl had stood there watching the whole time completely ignored by Axel, as she turned down the corridor seeing the approaching Saix. Marluxia grinned at Axel again. "To your room Axel! Otherwise I will ban you from tomorrow, as we have already dealt with Marluxia." Saix told him. "Whatever happened Isa?" He asked him calming down a bit, as he saw the glint in Saix's eyes. He turned heading back to his room, as Cakxj carried on to his.
