Well, first of all, I would like to apologize to everyone reading this story and I hope I haven't lost you guys. I have seriously tried desperately to update this chapter, but no ideas came to me when I found out which would be the place in which Axel and Roxas would be hiding. Not to mention that there was a constant fight between The Beach House and the Cabin in the Forest! I started off writing in one and then the other option would suddenly get more votes than the other, I just had to laugh at that. I really let you guys down though, so here's a nice long chapter for you guys.

Chapter 6: Thirteen Things

-Roxas-

I was tired; our trip form Twilight Town had left me drained and even though it had been Reno who was driving, I hadn't closed my eyes an inch because I had been to nervous to do so. I now lay in a new room; in a seaside cabin that belonged to Axel. He had bought it, apparently a few years ago, and had never gotten the chance to use it; but now, it was doing it's purpose. No one knew where we were hiding here, only Kairi and Granny Olette were aware for now that we had run away, but even they didn't know where we were.

Axel was still downstairs, talking probably with his sister still via telephone, while I was waiting for him to come back and fighting against my eyes that wanted to close. I tried bitting on my tongue to keep myself awake, but considering it was painful doing that, it was starting to fail. I was warm under the bed covers and considering the coast was right outside the cabin and it was almost night time, so it was relatively cold outside.

Trying to keep myself awake, I decided to get out of bed take another look around the room, still finding it difficult to believe that I was away from the castle, all alone with the person I loved the most in this entire world, staying in a cabin next to the beach. The room was pretty big, since it was made for a prince. It was made out of wood, and it smelled of pine, so it was obvious that it was pretty much new, still. A glass sliding door was at the far end of it, giving me a clear view of the moonlit beach that lay outside. It was pretty and I soon found myself thinking how nice it would be to be out there with Axel, running across the sand under the moonlight, getting inside the water with him as we kissed. Those thoughts rose goosebumps all over my skin and I shuddered.

I nearly jumped out of my skin when a pair of arms wrapped themselves around me, giving me one heck of a scare. I had been so caught up in my thinking I hadn't noticed I had wandered to the glass door and that Axel had come in.

"Is something wrong?" he asked a bit worried.

"Nah...I'm just tired" I answered with a smile, resting my hands in his arms and leaning back against his chest.

"Wanna go to sleep then?" Axel asked, planting a kiss on my cheek.

"Sleep...hm..." I gave it a thought and decided to look for the cat's fifth leg; something I like to say when I keep trying to look beyond the obvious. "I don't think I feel like it" I lied, though a yawn that I had to suppress and made my body shudder gave me away quickly.

"Yeah right" the redhead chuckled and lifted me up bridal style much to my surprise. "Time for bed brat, you need sleep"

"No I don't" I huffed as he dropped me on the bed again.

We didn't need a bath we had already taken one and were on pajama's, so all that was left was for us to go to bed. The cabin had only one room, so it was obvious the two of us were going to share the bed. I didn't mind of course, and neither did Axel. As soon as he was under the covers, I wrapped my arms around him and sighed, cuddling up next to him.

"So cute" he chuckled pressing me close to his body, before he planted a kiss on my forehead.

"Goodnight" I mumbled before dozing off to sleep.

-Kairi-

I sighed as I watched Princess Larxene pass in front of me for the third time in a row. She was anxious and while I wasn't, everyone else was. It seemed they had all caught up to the fact that Roxas and Axel were missing and while I knew, I wasn't telling. Reno had gotten back in time, before dad found out anything and had given me the clear that my brother and Roxas were fine. I was gonna miss them, as I was going to feel envy; they no longer had to deal with this witch!

"Where could he have gone off to?" Larxene whined, bitting her gloved had, her long, girly pink dress trailing behind her thin figure.

I rolled my eyes: They're laughing at you I thought, which wasn't probably far from the truth.

"Would you stop pacing around, you're making me dizzy Princess Larxene" I growled.

"Oh but Kairi! What if something happened to them!" Larxene said, "Not that I'm worried of that servant, it's Axel who I'm really worried about!"

"So? My brother's not a kid" I said, "he can take care of himself"

Larxene bit her bottom lip and sat on the armchair that was next to mine.

We were at the castle library, so it was only her and me to talk, something I didn't like at all. I liked reading, but I wasn't someone who would spend every time of her life inside the library like Larxene did. She dragged me along all the time in here where I couldn't see Reno!

I was thankful that I wasn't entirely alone, few servants were cleaning and dusting off the place.

"You know what I think?" she said and I looked at her uninterested, hoping she would shut up as soon as she realized I was bored of her talking. Luck wasn't on my side though; "I bet he ran off with that Roxas kid!" I rolled my eyes again and gave a sigh, trying to hold back my laugh at how dumb she was. "I warned him I was going to tell his father about him and that bastard!"

"Hey! Roxas might be a servant but it's not nice to insult people!" I growled.

Larxene looked at me shocked before she burst out laughing.

"Oh Kairi...you're so funny" she said, trying to hold her laughter, which failed miserably. "They're not worth anything! A servant is only here to tend to us, nothing else!"

You have no idea how wrong you are, I mentally growled, giving her one hell of a glare.

How I wished I could hit her. She thankfully didn't know anything about me and Reno and I planned to keep it that way. Other wise I wouldn't hear the end of her! I had no intentions of having her behind me telling me to leave MY Reno!

With a sigh I got up, not expecting her to follow me.

"Where are you going Kairi?" Princess Larxene asked as she followed me.

God give me patience!

-Axel-

I sighed as I walked out to the sandy balcony, looking back at the sleeping blonde that still lay on the bed. I had no intentions of waking him up, he looked to cute for me to disturb him. I wished I could wake him up though, but it wasn't in me at the moment to pry him away from his dreams; like I said, he looked to cute for me to do that.

I sighed and walked around on the sandy beach, enjoying the sound of the waves as they came and retreated again and again and I found it quite relaxing. I didn't want to sit down though. I had heard there were other people here that lived in cabins like we were, but I hadn't gotten the chance to meet any. Now hopefully I could. But the cabins were far away from each other, so I had to walk for a while before the first cabin came into view.

There wasn't anyone outside, and I knew why. It was to early in the morning. The sun had just recently gotten up so I was up very early, something I was used to since my dad always pried me off my sleep even in the middle of the night sometimes, just for work. It would be a nice change now that I could sleep until whenever I wanted. But it was going to be difficult getting used to a lazy schedule.

Being early in the morning of course, I felt cold, so it wasn't long before I turned back to the cabin where Roxas was. My walk lasted a few minutes but I hated the cold, so I didn't plan on staying any longer outside.

Roxas was still asleep by the time I got back, so I just had no choice but to go back into bed. Once I got under the covers again, I noticed how cold I was compared to how warm Roxas was. He was so warm and an idea suddenly came to my mind. I wouldn't forgive myself for doing this to him, but I was dying to see his reaction. I gently sneaked my hands around his neck and back, pulling him close, causing him to mumble. He looked so cute and innocent at the same time and I smiled. Before he could wake up I planted a light kiss on his warm lips. It came as no surprise when he shuddered and his eyes fluttered open, I was cold compared to him. He did return the kiss though, until he realized how cold I was and pulled back.

"Good Morning" I said before he could say a thing.

"'Morning" he asnwered before he gave me the question I was sure he was going to give me. "How come you're so cold?"

"I was out walking" I replied.

"Oh" he replied, his eye glazed and still tired looking. He took a quick look over my shoulder at the clock before looking back at me. "How come you're up so early?"

"I ca never sleep beyond five in the morning" I answered. "My dad has always gotten me shoved of my bed by this hour and I can't fall asleep now"

"We went to sleep barely four hours ago" Roxas mumbled. "You sure you're not tired?"

I had to shake my head, I wasn't tired at all anymore. It always happened to me. Eve if I went to sleep at four in the morning and had only gotten one hour of sleep, I would be up by five in the morning as if I had drunk twelve cups of coffee.

"We'l have to fix that then" Roxas chuckled.

"What? You plan on making me a lazy bag like you?" I chuckled as well.

"Yeah right, did you forget I was the one looking after your butt at five in the morning too, back at the castle?" Roxas pointed out.

"No" I sighed and held him tighter. "But you slacked off as soon and you were done"

Roxas scoffed in disbelief.

"Oh, thanks a lot!" he huffed and pouted and again he looked so cute, like a little kid.

"But you can slack off here all you want" I planted a kiss on his forehead again.

"Nah, I don't think I can" he yawned, lying again, but if he wanted to stay up, I wouldn't force him to go back to sleep. Not that I could in the first place.

"I'll go make breakfast then" I said, getting ready to get out of bed.

"No, I'll do it!" Roxas quickly protested.

"Not today you aren't" I said. "You've already been pampering me all the time we were at the castle. Now its my turn to pamper you"

At that I saw a blush form in his face. Damn it! He was so cute I was having a hard time keeping myself from jumping on his and eating him up in kisses; holding him so tight and leave him breathless right then and there. But I didn't want to shock him like that, I would leave that for later, I had had something on my mind for years no. Something I couldn't do while at the castle; well it was several stuff, thirteen to be more exact, and I wouldn't rest until I did all of them to him. I decided though, I would dot he first one now.

"Mind if I do something now?" I asked.

"What is it?" he asked curious, looking at me confused at why I had suddenly turned so serious probably.

My only reply though came when I crashed my lips against his barely open lips and I let my tongue slip inside his mouth, taking him by surprise. He didn't push me off, in fact, he just pulled me closer. Sure we had done this before, but it was different this time. We didn't have to worry about anyone walking in on us, no one threatening us, and no one to separate us, so we could enjoy the kiss for what well looked like an eternity. Roxas didn't let go of me for a while and I had to pull away anfd pry his hands away from my neck to get free, but not without kissing one of them? It was then I noticed something strange.

"What happened to the ring I gave you?" I asked, noticing the ring was missing. I remembered giving him one of the rings, one of the rings that had been a gift to me from Grandma Olette when I was still a kid. I saw him stiffen and look at his hand in horror. "What's wrong?"

"I tossed it away inside my room" he answered. "It's still at the castle, inside my room. I forgot all about it!"

"It's ok" I sighed. "I'll see if Kairi can retrieve it then"

"I'm sorry, I was just so mad back then I lost control and threw it as if it was nothing!" I had to wipe away some tears that escaped his eyes, he was certainly feeling bad about the whole issue, but I didn't mind, it could be replaced if Kairi didn't find it.

"I'm sure Kairi will find it" I assured him, "Now relax, I'll be right back"

-Kairi-

I was surprised when so early in the morning my phone began to ring. I hurried over to my bedside-table and picked it up. I was lucky enough to have my own phone in my room, so I could answer anyone, and the fact that it was so early and they knew my number made it obvious of who was calling.

"Hey Axel" I said casually, still struggling with my dress. "Something wrong that you're calling so early?"

"I need a favor" Axel said quickly. "I need you to do it as fast as you can, and don't let anyone see you, other wise they'll probably suspect that you might know where we are"

"What is it?" I asked.

"Do you remember the set of rings that Grandma Olette gave me when I was just a kid?" he asked.

"The ones you couldn't use because they were to big for your fingers?" I inquired.

"Yes, those same ones" Axel answered. "I gave one to Roxas a few days ago and he seems to have lost it, inside his room. You think you can fetch it for me and send it over with Reno?"

"I'll see what I can do" Kairi said, "and don't worry, I won't let anyone know where you guys are at"

"Great, thanks Kiari, and sorry if I didn't ask if you were ok" Axel said and I had to chuckle.

"No worried, I understand if you're worried about the ring. If anyone finds in it Roxas' room who knows what could happen? After all, what would a servant be doing with a ring like that. Right?"

"Yeah" Axel asked. "Anyways, talk to you later, I'm cooking right now?"

"Ok, take care and say hi to Roxas for me" I said.

"Will do" after that he hung up.

I gave a sigh, finished my fight with my dress and closed it. I still had to do my hair and I wanted to look for that ring, but I needed someone's help and the only one I knew that could help me with this was Reno. It was better that Reno looked for the ring instead of me; after all, what would people think if they saw a princess looking inside a servant's room? It would be to suspicious, especially if Larxene was the one who found me. She would make a big fuss out of it. Is not that I was afraid to be caught with servants, I just couldn't risk them finding me in Roxas and Sora's room, with Axel's ring, they would think something was up, since how could I know in the first place that that ring was there! Someone must have told me it was there so that I could find it. Reno was a servant, so there would be no suspicion if he went to the servants room area. The real trick would be inside Roxas and Sora's room. He couldn't get caught.

Well that's all for now, and sorry for taking so long. I know I've been a bad writter, but I'm tryign to catch up to this story, since I ran out of ideas. Now, I'm still missing five things Axel could do with Roxas, does anyone have any bright ideas? Besides making love to him and marrying him, those are the firsts that are on the list...just give me some romantic things to do, cause I've run out of ideas and need at least five more to finish the list!

Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed and that I haven't lost you guys and again I apollogize :(
