Chapter 14:
Shock part 4
Roxas opened the door to his old room, and looked around. Just as he expected, the room was destroyed. Riku walked silently across the room. Roxas went to his closet, and took out a little wooden box.
"What's that?" Riku asked, walking to Roxas.
"It's where I kept stuff that I got on missions, and of course it's missing." Roxas sighed, looking in the box.
"What is?" Riku asked.
"Nami's good luck charm, I kept it in here for safety, and wasn't able to come back and get it once I was captured by somebody." Roxas explained.
"Right. Sorry about that!" Riku blushed.
"It's cool, I'm just messin' with you." Roxas smiled.
Roxas put down the box and opened the door to his bedroom. It was also a mess. He went over to his bed and moved the covers around a little. When he noticed something, another crayon. It was the run down, overly used yellow that Naminé had always used for coloring his hair, half of the crayon was used up.
"Riku! Look!" He called.
"Another crayon?" Riku said after sitting next to Roxas on the blond's old bed.
"Do you know what this means?" Roxas asked, putting the crayon infront of Riku's nose.
"Ausea dropped it in your room after she went through Naminé's room?" Riku suggested.
"No, it means Naminé knew we would get to this point and is trying to tell us something." Roxas said, moving the crayon.
"You sure?" Riku asked, crossing his arms.
"She always thinks ahead." Roxas shrugged, before putting the crayon in his pocket.
He got off the bed and continued to look for anything out of the ordinary. Riku stayed in his seat, thinking. Roxas looked on his bookshelf, the books were out of order, just like in Naminé's room. Why was Ausea looking through their books? What had she been looking for in the first place?
"Roxas!" Riku said.
"Huh?" Roxas replied, not turning to the other boy.
"Did you leave anything else of importance to you here, I mean other than the charm?" Riku asked.
"Just my skateboard." Roxas shrugged.
"Where'd you keep it?" Riku questioned.
"Closet, the one in this room. Left wall." Roxas said, still looking at the books.
"It's not here!" Riku sounded excited.
"WHAT!? Why are you happy about that? That board was really expensive." Roxas yelled, running to his closet in the process.
"Obviously, Ausea wants something from you guys, why else would she do all of this?" Riku said.
"I'd never heard of the woman, before we read about her in Twilight Town that is." Roxas answered.
"We should go back there and talk with everyone about what it could be." Riku said, walking out of the room.
"Ok." Roxas followed Riku.
They got to the elevator and Riku pushed the down button by the door. When the doors opened, Roxas pushed one of the buttons, and the elevator began its descent. The two boys were silent, again.
"By the way, Roxas, I know that you told Sora and Kairi about Xion." Riku said after a while.
"How?" Roxas asked.
"The two of them were talking about it in Christmas Town, when you walked off, They obviously thought that I couldn't hear them." Riku said back.
What do you mean?" Roxas asked.
"'Remember Kairi, we can't let Riku know that we know about Xion.'" Riku said, quoting Sora.
"Stupid Sora." Roxas sighed.
"I don't mind, it's better than them thinking I'm all depressed over nothing." Riku shrugged.
"Really? Oh, ok then." Roxas smiled.
"But why'd you tell them that they couldn't tell me that I knew?" Riku asked.
"Well you know Sora, if I didn't tell him not to, he would've gone running down the stairs crying, and telling you that everything was gonna be ok, and you would've killed him right there if he got annoying enough, which he does." Roxas explained.
"True. Thanks." Riku smiled cooly.
"No problem." Roxas grinned.
The elevator was now at the main flor, so Riku and Roxas walked off of the elevator, and out of the castle. They ran through the town, not passing by any enemies on the way. They arrived at the pathway to the digital Twilight town in a matter of seconds, and walked right through it, and onto the digital computer room, of a digital town.
"Ready to go?" Riku asked.
"Yep." Roxas answered, before the two of them stepped into the portal to the real Twilight Town.

"Roxas, where are you?"
