AN: Sorry if this chapter came off short ^^; It was intended to be longer and come out a different way in how I had written and you were suppose to get an Epilogue but it's been months to maybe a Year or more since I've touched this, so, my love and desire to make it an epic ending and turn of events kinda phailed...I just wanted this finish. This is yet again, just another fanfic I'm finishing up posting to but not posting anything else. Its been sitting in my laptop and I figured I owed you guys an end to this. Still looking for work, but beside this, no New Works are coming from me still till a Job is found.
If you've been reading this fanfic. Thank You and Enjoy.

Roxas took his leave shortly after his meeting with Xemnas; darkness was exuding from that man and Roxas had to escape it now and make his way to tell his brother the man was indeed a man that needed to be put away. He had seen enough of the man's dealings to know that the man was one of cruel intentions and from what he had stashed away among his things that he was starting to gather up; he was getting out of this house, tonight. Staying here much longer could mean utter death at the hands of the man he called Boss. Unfortunately for Roxas, Axel knew too well that Roxas was going to leave and it was going to mean that when Roxas turned in the findings; Axel was going to find himself pulled in with the others of the Family.
He had to change things for the better in hopes that he could get off on a lesser charge.
"So, you're mind is made up about the Boss' plans after all this time?" Axel was playing along with Roxas' actions as to make sure any of the others that could be around didn't catch on to what was going on, "You're just going to walk away?"
Roxas knew that Axel was only playing along as he looked over his shoulder to find the man leaned against the wall, staring at him, "I need to know why he kept me along for so long…why didn't he kill me off like my old Boss? What did he ever do?" his eyes turned on him with a look of utter hate, but it was also playing, keeping watch for anyone in the shadows besides Axel, "I need to know."
Axel knew the reason why the Boss wanted to keep Roxas within the Family still, but the image that he had painted of Xemnas the night that he told him his reasons, and warning him, that if he ever spoke to Roxas about it. The man would find himself ending up dead, much like Roxas' sadly departed Boss.
It was time, time to play the role, "You can't run on the Organization!" Axel shouted; he tried to reel back these words, but it was too late; he could see movement in the shadows, friend or foe? He didn't know.
"I was never part of the Organization to start," Roxas tried to keep on the track of catching the leader of this Family in the act and lead those hiding in the shadows on to what he was planning to try and set in motion to capture the Boss', "Besides, no one would miss me...besides...I'm already a dead man walking."
The sounds of shots could be heard ringing out through the street as the sound of someone falling to the ground, writhing in pain was heard among the muffled scream of another shot heard. Axel feared that Roxas had been killed upon finding the littered remains of the would-be assassin, but it was proven that he was alive. Upon the wind, dancing upon the current was a piece of paper with the words that had been in the briefcase the night that Roxas had been arrested in place of the Boss.
THE JOKE IS ON YOU
"Hmph, a kidder to the end, "Axel lightly chuckled at the joke as the sounds of a raid was sounding on the house doors were slamming open and voices were screaming in the house, "…I guess we're just a like, you and I, Roxas…we're just kidding ourselves and the World."
The note was intended as a joke, but Xemnas didn't see that way as the Police started to usher out every single member of his Family and into the waiting Police Cruisers. Axel came willingly as the Police slapped handcuffs on him, but they had orders to be not as harsh or rough with the man as they were with the others; Roxas watched from the side lines until the sound of a voice called out behind him. Roxas was nearly bowled over as he felt his brother's arms wrapping around him, rocking him in his arms.
"You stupid kid!" Cloud muffled against his little brother's head as he rocked Roxas back and forth in his arms, "…If Mom and Dad were alive…"
Roxas stopped his brother as he clung to him, "Heh…I'm just glad you're alive little brother."
"Cloud…can we go home now?" Roxas looked up his tear filled brother's face, "It's been a long night…"
"Yeah…it has, come on…" Cloud pushed his little brother on ahead of him, but Roxas kept close to his brother as they walked away from it all.
~The End~
