Fall Into Your Sunlight
Chapter Seven
Sins and Lies Before the Show
多分あなたの目を閉めれば
Sora
The city that morning was very calm, peaceful, even. Roxas walked in his corner, mumbling to himself beside me. I caught a few words now and then, something that always started with Axel and ended with a very colorful word.
The others, on the other hand, were enjoying themselves quite a lot. A few families were having a picnic in the park today, laughing and playing. Children ran with their parents chasing after them, both laughing and yelling. Kairi was trying to lick her ice cream cone faster than it could melt while we sat in the shade of a tree, eating our own. Namine helped Kairi with that, Axel and Demyx were... being Axel and Demyx. And Roxas...
He was in his corner near me, licking his sea salt ice cream absentmindedly as he thought. I slid closer to him, licking my own salty treat.
"Something on your mind, Rox?" I ask him. He bites off a small piece of his ice cream, and dimly, he nods.
"Something's up." He shrugs. "I don't know what, but I have the feeling that it's not good."
"Are you still mad?" I edge closer, much so that I have to tuck my feet underneath his left thigh to be able to keep my position - which is having my knees up to my chin.
"About what? Oh, that?" He gives a grin. "Not in the least. It's a good educating adventure!" He shoots out that last part to the others. Kairi pauses, tongue halfway out of her mouth as she's trying - and failing - to eat her ice cream in time. Namine doesn't pause, however.
And Axel and Demyx just laugh. And I mean the roll-on-the-floor-knee-slapping kind of laughter.
"Sure, sure." Demyx says nonchalantly.
"More like scarring!" Axel interjects.
"Hey, don't go there. You do that all the time, too!" I grin. Roxas and I are thinking the same thing again. "Why, we're surprised-"
"-That you two-"
"-Can restrain yourselves-"
"-Out in the open!" We both finish at the same time, bursting into fits of laughter. We hadn't done that freaky twin thing in ages. We used to do it all the time to freak others out, but then Kairi and Namine came, and we both just... changed.
OMG It's a flashback! ^O~O^ (In third person)
"Later, wanna go play-"
"-on the Xbox?" Roxas smiles a very wide and goofy grin, he was very happy back then.
"Alright, listen up!" The two twelve year olds turned to face the front of the classroom. "We have two new transfer students, and I expect you to treat them both like proper people. Make them feel welcomed."
Sora rolled his eyes, making a face. His twin grinned before they turned to their attention to the two girls standing near the desk at the front.
"My name is Kairi Hatori, nice to see ya." She nods, eyeing the room with a cold gaze.
Roxas makes a face at the redheaded girl in the front - of which she kindly returns. He doesn't know why, but she irks him to an infinite end.
The slightly shorter, pale blonde-haired girl beside her bowed low in front of everyone. She brought herself back up.
"My name is Namine Hatori, it's a pleasure to meet you all." She smiles, and Sora, on his own accord, makes a face at the girl while she's not looking his way.
"Namine, Kairi, I'm sure there's someone in here you would like to show you around. Go sit next to that person, and we'll begin the lesson." Namine nods, blushing out of shyness. Kairi turns to the class a moment.
"If anyone dares hurt my younger sister, I'll pound your face in." She hisses, earning quite a few gulps as the girls walked down the rows of students.
Roxas, staring blandly out the window beside him, doesn't notice the timid girl walk up to him until he notices her standing in front of him.
"My name is Namine, could you please show me around?" She asks, smiling softly. He looks at her offered hand until she pulls it back.
"Yeah, whatever." He waves a hand, not bothering to introduce himself.
"Um, what's your name?" She asks. He sighs.
"It's Roxas."
"Yo, midget!" Kairi slams her hand on Sora's desk. He glares at her a little. "You'll be showing me around, how lucky of you, ne?"
"It's Sora." He says, straining to stay polite.
"Whatever."
End the long flashback (Back to Sora's p.o.v.)
I prod Roxas' forehead with the end of my now ice cream-less stick, earning a scowl.
"What?" He asks.
"I was wondering something, Rox."
"Hmm?" He asks, looking to the sky a moment, the sun shining magnificently in his eyes.
"Back in high school, why did you-"
"Kairi! Oh God, what the fuck?" I spin my head around faster than I would have liked, but I turn my head back around when I hear Roxas moan.
"Roxas?" I ask, kneeling in front of him now. He's clutching his head and his forehead is pressed up against the grass. My lip curls upwards without my consent, a feeling of pure hatred and despite coming to me. (A.N.: OMG YOU PEOPLE WILL HATE ME FOR THIS!)
"Make it stop!" He cries out like a five year old, letting out a scream. I can feel his pain within our bond, shaking him, shattering him.
"-Roxas, except... broken. Shattered."
I force him to sit up and I wrap my arms around him. No one did a thing around us, the families not paying attetion. But I somehow knwo that they can't.
"You'll be alright." I say, my voice shaking, since he cried out when I touched him.
Everything's wrong. It sent electicity running through me, but not the good kind. Not the one I get everytime we touch. My eyelids feel so heavy, I close my eyes, snuggling into his chest.
Never meant to exist...
"Roxas?" I shake my brother by the shoulders, but it's like if he's falling to pieces when I touch him. Litterally. His eyes a closed and I can see right through him. The first time may have been a dream, but I know this isn't.
And then, he vanishes.
Taking both my heart and my soul with him. Not even his smell, his warmth, remains.

Roxas
It's really dark, that's my first thought. Sora is gone is my second, but I'm more afraid of the darkness. I'd never thought of it, since I usually always had Sora with me in some way, but now I'm just... alone.
And I'm scared.
"Sora!" I cry out, looking all around me, hoping to see something, anything. But no, I'm standing on nothing. Shaking I wrap my arms around myself. This darkness scares me so much it's unbelievable.
"Roxas?" The reply is faint, far away, but I cling onto it. "Where are you?" His voice is terrified, he's speaking with someone as he's speaking to me, I can tell. I look around.
"I don't know, but I'm alone. And scared out of my wits." I admitted.
"Namine's acting funny." He explains. I close my eyes, imagining a different place, so the darkness is less... dark. "She's saying something strange about you."
"What is she saying?"
"She says you're inside of me. Like before, way back when, but she's not making any sense."
My head starts to pound; I let a small cry escape my lips.
"Nobodies are people born from a human who has been turned into a heartless. We are the holders of their existance, to return it or to not return it."
"To return their existance..." I whisper, and a very shaky sigh escapes my lips.
"What do you mean?" Sora asks, but belief dawns on him, and we end up saying it together.
"I no longer exist. I returned what I stole to you."

I've done some thinking, and I will prolong the series! I wasn't going to use the idea of Roxas dissapearing, but I thought "Meh, why not?" and voila. I hope you enjoy, and please don't hate me for this! I swear you'll enjoy the ending! (Though I gotta put Riku in there somewhere... bleh, he's gonna die anyways XD)
