Roxas opened his eyes slowly, his head still feeling a little groggily he looked around the room that seemed so familiar. The light color of the room and the blue cover he was under all seemed to send signals off in his mind. He looked over to see Sora, lying on a bed across the room from him and he didn't seem to be awake yet. Roxas suddenly sprung up in his bed, realizing what had happened the day before and what had happened for him to have an actual dream. He looked around the rest of the room to see the black haired guy, Zack, leaning back in a chair in the corner of the room, leaning back in a chair with his legs propped up on a small table. It seemed like he was sleeping so Roxas crawled out of the bed and walked over to Sora and was about to help him up to get them out of whatever situation they had gotten themselves in.
"Come on, don't wake him up from the only sleep he's had in months probably, why don't you just let him dream," Roxas wheeled around at the sudden voice to see Zack in the same place he had been before but his eyes were open and staring straight at Roxas.
"How do you know us," Roxas asked turning to face him.
"What, you don't think I wouldn't know my own nephews," Zack asked with a laugh.
"What do you mean? I only had one uncle and he died years ago," Roxas told him.
"The only one you knew about anyway," Zack told him as he stood up.
"Okay, fine, whatever just tell me what's going on," Roxas told him on the verge of yelling when Zack pointed to Sora and gestured for him to be quiet.
"Follow me," Zack told him and Roxas obediently did so. They walked out of the room and down some stairs into a room where Leon and the woman was sitting. They stopped their talking once the two entered the room.
"Well, look at who finally woke up," the woman told him with a smile.
"I wouldn't have been asleep if you hadn't of made me," Roxas mumbled as he glared at the three. "Why were you even after us anyway," Roxas asked in a louder voice.
"It looked like you were in a bit of trouble, thought we might have to come and bail you out before it go too bad," Zack told him with a laugh.
"Roxas, do you remember who we are," the woman asked with a serious face. Roxas looked at each of them for a moment before thinking. They had all been in his dream, does that mean he's supposed to remember them?
"All I know is that he claims to be my uncle," Roxas said as he pointed to Zack.
"Your mom is my sister so yes, I am your uncle," Zack told him with a nod. That's when everything came back to Roxas. What they had been doing the last few days, what they were trying to do until they caught them, and one last thing popped into his head, Namine.
"Namine," Roxas thought out loud.
"Say what," Zack asked.
"Namine, my friends, where are all my friends," Roxas asked already wanting to run out that door.
"Oh, we found them hiding in an alley a little while away from where you guys were. They were waiting for you guys. We talked to them and they followed us here. They're sleeping in the back room as we speak," the woman told him cheerfully as she pointed to the door over to the left of them.
"Oh," Roxas said. "Thanks." There was a moment of silence before the woman broke it again.
"So, since you apparently don't remember anything, I guess we should reintroduce ourselves," the woman told Roxas. "I'm Riona, that's Leon, and I suppose you already know your Uncle Zack."
"And I knew you all how," Roxas asked starting to remember.
"We were friends with your parents. We've known you every since you were born," Riona told him.
"Right," Roxas said and then he thought for a moment. "Wait; if you're my uncle, then do you know where my mom is?"
"Sure, I'll take you guys there," Zack told them.
"We'd better get back. They've got a meeting in a couple of minutes and if all three of us are missing, it'll look to suspicious," Leon said as he stood up. "Later kid," he said as he put his hand on Roxas's head before turning as he walked past and down some stairs.
"Nice to see you again Roxas, take care of yourself and we'll see you later," Riona told him as he headed out the door.
"What's going on, why do I have such a bad headache," Sora asked as he stumbled in the room. "Roxas, what are you doing here," Sora asked as he wiped his eyes.
"Uh…did you hit your head a little too hard on the pavement," Roxas asked.
"Huh, what do you…oh….hey, watch it," Sora said as he pointed to Zack who was in the chair.
"Wait, Sora, he's our uncle," Roxas told him. Sora looked at the man oddly for as he walked up beside Roxas.
"Right, I need to talk to you for a second," Sora said as he jerked Roxas around to where they weren't facing Zack. "Are you sure we can trust him?" Sora whispered to Roxas so Zack wouldn't hear.
"I don't know, but I don't see any reason he to lie to us," Roxas replied.
"Okay, but keep your guard up, no matter what," he told him.
"So, are you two done whispering?" Zack asked and the two turned back around to face them.
"Yeah, but first, can we see the others?" Roxas asked.
"Sure, right in there," Zack said as he pointed to the door.
"Thanks," Sora told him with a nod as they crossed the room and walked into the room to find his friends all lying down in four beds positioned around the room. Roxas smiled a little upon seeing Namine, peacefully sleeping in the bed. Roxas walked over and ran his hand down her soft cheek and he eyes fluttered open gently.
"Roxas," she said as she looked up at him with a soft smile.
"Go back to sleep, Namine, I have to leave for a little while but I promise I'll be back as soon as possible," he told her with a smile. Namine looked into his deep blue eyes, seeing the set look she had gotten so used to seeing. He had made up his mind, and she couldn't change it.
"Just hurry back," she told him as she sat up in the bed and laid her hand on his.
"I will," he told her with a smile.
"I think I'm going to be sick," Sora said from where he was standing by the door. Roxas looked over his shoulder to glare at him but Namine laughed a little looking over at Sora.
"You take care of him to. If he doesn't come back then I'll blame you," she told him. Sora stood up straight, as if a soldier in an army.
"Yes, ma'am," he told her with a mock salute. Roxas glared as he walked toward him.
"We'll be back soon," Roxas told Namine in a sweet voice despite his glare. "Come on," he grumbled at Sora as he grabbed his hood.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Sora said as they walked through the door and Roxas closed it.
"Are you two finally done?" Zack asked from where he was leaning against the wall by the door.
"Where are we going?" Sora asked and Roxas realized they hadn't yet told him.
"To see your mom," Zack told him.
"You mean Roxas's mom, right," Sora told said.
"She'll explain everything," Zack told them with a laugh as he headed out the door.
"Okay then," Sora said as he and Roxas followed him.
