The rain seemed to fall even harder, faster, thicker, than ever before.

The two stumbled through the watery darkness in search of somewhere safe, anywhere safe, some place to hide until everything blew over and the two gangs calmed down. As they kept moving, the sounds of the fighting were eventually drowned out by the torrential downpour and thunder, giving the couple a small sense of relief.

Being the leader, Roxas took them to an old building some ways away from the conflict. It was a few decades old; the city was planning on tearing it down soon so the space could be used as something else. Forcing the door open, the two teens stumbled in blindly, both shivering from fear, adrenaline, and the cold. Acting quickly, the blonde shut the door and locked it.

"R-Roxas…" Xed stuttered, backing away from the door, "I'm really scared…"

"I know…I am too…" He looked around to make sure they were alone, before turning his worried eyes towards her. Walking forward, he reached out and cupped her cheek gently. "We'll make it through this, I promise…"

The brunette nodded a little. "But…how?"

He sighed. "I don't know…but we will. Everything will be alright."

He kissed her, and she kissed back. They broke a few seconds later.

"Xed…we should leave. Run away from this for a while..." He looked at her seriously, his sky blue eyes full of hope. "When this all blows over, we can come back. Or maybe, we don't have to come back ever…"

She shook her head. "No…I don't want to leave Demyx and Kuxir here…"

"Forget about them, they'll be okay…they're all after us…"

"No, they won't! They know about us! They'll come after them!" She swallowed hard and forced herself to calm down. "We'll…we'll figure out something but we just can't leave them here to take the blame…"

The sound of glass shattering rapidly disrupted their conversation.

They turned quickly to see a heavy brick being thrown through a nearby window. It smacked harshly with the opposite wall and cracked. Through the broken glass they could see Xemnas, standing there with a gun in one hand and a brick in the other, looking around with a wild and dangerous look in his eyes.

"*hit!" Roxas exclaimed, grabbing Xed's hand and pushing her ahead of him. "Run!!"

The two immediately took off, running deeper into the dark, crumbling building. They could hear more glass breaking and more bricks thudding against the floor, each one making their hearts beat that much faster.

"Aghhh!!!"

A brick had come smashing through the window and slammed into Roxas' back, causing the boy to immediately collapse, groaning in pain.

"Roxas!!" Xed stopped running away and switched directions, running towards her fallen boyfriend.

Looking up, with a trickle of blood down the corner of his mouth and a panicked look in his eyes, he shouted, "Stop! Keep going!"

Out of nowhere, Xemnas was inside the building and pounced on the boy, striking him in the face with his fist, harshly, in the process.

"You little *itch…" the man growled with fierce animosity, punching him again. "You'll pay, you little screw-up…"

"Xemnas! Stop!" The brunette shouted, feeling rather conflicted. She loved Roxas but she respected her Superior. Who was she to defend?

Roxas growled and slammed his knee upwards into the man's stomach, knocking the breath out of him. Taking this small window of opportunity, he attempted to throw Xemnas off, but the man held onto him and rolled with him. The two began to exchange punches and kicks, blood and spit and sweat flying everywhere, all dirty tricks open for use.

"Stop it!" Xed grabbed Xemnas around the neck and got him in a chokehold, trying to drag him off of Roxas. But the man, fully enraged by now, elbowed her hard in the stomach, causing her to let go and double over. Equally as enraged, the blonde tackled the tanned man and punched him hard in the jaw, dislocating it.

Blood poured from Xemnas' mouth, and he glared hatefully at the boy. "I'll KILL you!" The man screeched in fury, pulling out his gun and aiming it at him. But before he could even get his finger on the trigger, Roxas grabbed the gun and obscured it with his hands. The punching and attacks stopped, as it became a struggle to see who could gain control of the gun. The two gangsters rolled around on the floor, slamming the other's head and body against the cold concrete beneath them, or into the various debris lying around everywhere.

Both were shaking and grunting from the effort, both desperate to stop the other from owning the gun. Numerous times the gun was turned between them, sometimes pointing at the man, other times pointing at the boy…

BAAAANG.

A gunshot.

The gun…went off.

Xed's heart stopped, her eyes wide with fear.

The two immediately stopped moving, each finding it difficult to breath.

Eyes wide with fear, the blonde looked down ever so slowly…to see his chest was covered in blood.

Xemnas' blood.

With a sick feeling in his stomach, Roxas scrambled off of the man and onto the floor, his chest heaving and his throat tight.

Xemnas lay there on the ground, motionless and hardly breathing, blood spurting from the bullet wound on his upper torso. The crimson was starting to pool beneath him, and he groaned at the cold pain spreading throughout him.

"X-Xemnas…" the brunette breathed, unable to move. She looked up slowly at Roxas, unsure just what to think. She found that he was staring right back at her, with the most frighteningly terrified look she had ever seen.

Suddenly, voices could be heard.

"I think they went in there!"

"I heard a gun!"

"Hurry up!"

Mortified and not thinking clearly, Roxas sprung to his feet and ran off, fleeing the scene through a previously broken window, leaving Xed alone with the dying man. Kneeling by him slowly, the girl could hardly breath as she couldn't take her eyes away from his fading body.

The man turned his flickering amber eyes on her.

"X-Xedra…Xedra…mon…" he choked out, blood slipping out of his mouth.

She could only stare at him with a strangely blank look, as her heart beat even faster.

He weakly grabbed her hand, and, with his last effort, pressed his gun into it.

"K-kill him…"

Her eyes widened.

"K-kill h-him…don't…don't…bet-tray me…"

A few seconds later, the remaining, bloody Organization members entered the building and ran towards the scene. It was pitch black, and difficult to see anything, or make out anything. They could smell blood, though.

As lightning illuminated the dark expanse, they saw that their Superior was already dead.

Ooooh chilling, eh? ^^

So, where does Xed's loyalty truly lie? Will she kill Roxas? Or not? To kill or not to kill, that is the question…

Reviews would be nice…
