Note: I really forgot about this story and was surprised at where I left off. Writers block is horrible but I fought through it. I'm really trying to finish this before Halloween but I kinda doubt that will happen. Hope you all enjoy this chapter of Dark Kingdom.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts.

"….."- Roxas and Sora's mind dialogue

'…….'- thinking

Previously….

The two started to explain the rules to them, Sora barely paying attention and Sephiroth setting his focus on the upcoming battles. The two walked past the small minions into the dark doors to where they would be spending the next hours of winning the tournament.

Pain and Panic took their posts by the trophy case at the River Styx. They sighed at the job they were forced to do. They both easily remembered Sora and how scary he was acting. They also were surprised not to see him with Goofy and Donald but that other guy. The guy was scary too.

"Hey! You two seen a boy carrying a key blade and some silver haired guy with him?" a low voice asked. The two minions looked back to see the owner of the voice. Who they saw was a tall redheaded man with spiky locks and a black hooded trench coat. He was kind of pale and had vivid green eyes that had black teardrops under them. "We have but why do you need to know?" Pain said as he put a hand on his hips.

"The names Axel, got it memorized?" the redhead, Axel, said with a smirk. Pain and Panic only looked at each other before ignoring him. They didn't really care who he was. Axel blinked a few times and raised an eyebrow at the two. He crossed his arms, having a feeling that they weren't going to tell him as easier that he thought.

"Well…your not going to tell me, huh?" Axel said as he started to make his chakarams appear. He smirked and sent sparks of flames at Pain and Panic. The two were lit on fire, screaming and running around in circles. Axel watched in amusement as the two jumped into the River Styx. "I love my work. Now to find Sora and get him to join the Organization." he said calmly as he stared at the large tournament doors.

He easily decided that Sora must have been in there. Axel sighed lightly at having to wait but took a seat on the sturdy trophy case. It could not be that long anyways. Waiting for Sora actually took four hours. The doors opened and Sora came out with Sephiroth tailing behind slightly.

Sora's cloak and upper body was covered in Heartless goo and blood. A maniacal yet gleeful grin was on his face as he hummed softly. Sephiroth stepped behind him, cleaning his sword calmly. "Wasn't that fun, Sephiroth?" Sora asked as he licked his fingers. If he wasn't so sure vampires were real, he would say that he was turning into once again.

Sephiroth gave a nod as he looked at Axel. The redhead was giving off a strange aura to him. Plus, the weapons instantly made him put his guard up. Sora tilted his head and looked to see what Sephiroth was staring at. Axel got out his seat and waved to Sora.

The key blade wielder looked at him in confusion and too Oblivion and Gatekeeper. "Who are you?" Sora asked, getting ready for another fight. Axel laughed and leaned against the trophy case instead. "That's not really that important.. What is important is the question I need to ask you." the redhead said, blinking in slight surprise once a blade tip touched his neck. "State your name and purpose. Now." Sephiroth said calmly, seeing Axel now as a threat.

Axel looked at the two and sighed. He was there to deliver a message and keep an eye on Sora. It seemed once again that he would have a hard time getting that done too. "Pushy…I am Axel and part of Organization 13. My leader would like you to join us." he said calmly, standing firm as Sephiroth pressed the blade harder against his throat. Sora stared and wondered why that sounded so familiar.

For some reason, he just couldn't put his finger on it. "Roxas. Weren't you in Organization 13?" Sora asked Roxas calmly as he closed his eyes. He waited for an answer and frowned when he got none. Ignoring the two, Sora went to the staircase that led to the Overworld. Sephiroth and Axel were too busy at being at each other throats to pay attention to him.

Sora entered the confides of his own mind once more. It had been a few days and the once sacred was dark. The beautiful stained glass was covered in blood and scattered around in tiny shards; some floated in the air and seem to suspended by the darkness. They were the only small source of light that was in the darkness. The glass crunched under Sora's boots as he looked for Roxas.

"Roxas! Where are you? I know your in here." he said simply as he looked around. He heard a shift from afar where the staircase to the other sacred confides laid. That staircase was useless since it was unstable and now missing steps in many places. Sora waited until he heard more glass shift and was followed by a gasp of pain. Grinning, Sora skipped over to where he heard the sound.

He found Roxas leaning against the now locked and broken door that led to his memories of his friends. The blond was dirty and covered in his own blood still. He looked like he had been crying in pain and trying to hide from Sora. "There you are! You were in Organization 13, right?" the key blade wielder smirked, losing the smirk once he was completely ignored.

Sora got upset and threw a piece of floating glass at Roxas that was passing by. It hit Roxas in the head on impact and let more blood trickle down his forehead. Roxas looked up and flinched at seeing his Somebody. "Yes. Please…leave me alone. You've caused enough damage, haven't you?" was the hoarse and tired voice that left Roxas.

The Somebody only blinked a few times and smiled. He didn't get what Roxas meant. "Damage? I haven't done anyth-" Sora quickly stopped at the look Roxas gave him. It tugged at his heart and made him go silent. "You've ruined my place to reside! Why should I talk to you now? You've abused me and I was the one that was always fucking there for you!" Roxas snarled, glaring at Sora hatefully.

He knew it was like hating himself but he didn't care. The Nobody had no compassion left. He had tried to save Sora and did so much for the Somebody. For gratitude, everything was shoved back in his face and destroyed. Even the small look of shock on Sora's face did not sway his glare.

Seeing that the shock of the words paralyzed the other, Roxas stood abruptly and shoved Sora off the edge of the broken glass that was once a floor. He watched Sora fall back into the darkness and shook his head. "Just leave me to fade."

Sora snapped back to realize his surrounding, loud ringing pounding his ears. He couldn't believe how he treated Roxas until he said those things. He barely even realized the sound of weapons clashing from Axel and Sephiroth. Those words made feelings that he thought he didn't need rise in him. Guilt settled in the pit of his stomach as he curled up into fetal position by the staircase.

The thought of Roxas fading away and leaving him forever made him feel scared and sick. Out of the feelings and frustrations rising, Sora screamed and felt hot tears roll down his face. "Roxas…don't leave me alone…"he whispered to himself.
