Chapter 3: Why Do You Love Me The Way You Do...

While walking in the city, Kairi passes by axel, leaning against a building with crossed arms and a hanging head. All of a sudden, he hears her footsteps and lifts his head. Eyes watching her every move and calls to her. Axel: Hey! His voice sounded kind of like a "can it be?" tone. Kairi pauses during her 'walk' and responds with a faint and inpatient tone. Kairi: What...Axel's 'excited' expression, now turned into a disappointed one. Axel: Never mind...it's not important anymore...Part of Kairi's 'good side' kicked in and she walks slowly to him pulling her hood down. Kairi : Your still upset about...'Roxas'...huh...Axel feels two small tears running down his cheek and quickly wipes it with his sleeve. He nods a couple times quickly, hiding the fact he was crying. Kairi's voice now sounded brace and determined. She then puts her hands on her hips and moves in closer to him. Kairi: Hey now! You can't stop everything you love doing just because of him! I'm sure he'll come back. I know it! Axel gently runs his fingers through her hair then softly sliding them across her soft cheek. Axel: You remind me of him...soooooo much…... Kairi is wide eyed with her jaw fully dropped then blushes a light shade of pink. Kairi: Th-th...thank you! Axel leans in closely to her lips and brushes his against hers and whispers in them. Axel: In case you remember all that I've done to you... I'm sorry. Got it memorized…... Axel presses his forehead unto hers closing his eyes looking depressed because he wanted so badly to kiss her but didn't for he would feel guilty. Kairi then spontaneously slides each of her hands unto each of his cheeks. Kairi now whispering back into his lips: It wasn't your fault… I will love you forever. Got it memorized…. Passionately, she kisses him. He releases her then takes a couple steps back. Kairi: Wow...just...'wow'. She touches her lips were he had kissed her then blushes. A couple moments of silence passed, and then she speaks. Kairi: So it's decided then. I will try the best of my ability to help you find Roxas. Axel forms a warm smile and grasps her hand and they both take a stroll around the city. Meanwhile, Xemnas flips his CPU screen to another focus and he sees Axel and Kairi walking together. Xemnas: Well well well...looks like it's almost time for the 'princess' to take her first test. He snaps his fingers and two Dusks appear in Namine's room where Sora is. They take him to the council room and lay him there and the two Dusks disappear. Xemnas and the rest of the organization, teleport right in front of Kairi and Axel, mid-walk. Xemnas: Nice to see Axel finally clearing his mind off Roxas...maybe now's a good time to attack his murderer. Axel shouts: Roxas is...dead! So help me I'll kill him! Where is he! He summons his weapons and flames go all around him. Xemnas: In the council room...'But'. He puts his finger on axels weapon and lowers it down. Xemnas: We want 'RIXIAK' to handle this one right now. Xemnas lays his hand over her head and obliviates the memory of her real name. Kairi's face forms into a determined look. Kairi: Yes superior. You got my promise. Then she looks at Axel. Kairi: And yours. Then out of nowhere poofs a keyblade (Kairi's keyblade from KH 2) that came into her possession. She now knew what it was that had to be done. Slay the keyblade master. She pulls her hood up and runs across the city in the pouring rain, getting closer and closer to the room that held her target.
