I feel sooo bad that it took me so long to update this! I was banned from my computer, and I was in London for a while, so I never got to do anything. I am still banned from the computer right now, so I am risking my life to do this.

Axel's POV

I think it was now that I realized that there was something more to this that I wasn't seeing. Something inside of Roxas that no one else was really bothering to pay attention to. So, as I walked up to my room, I came to the conclusion that maybe it was something beyond his face that I needed to take observation to. It was a particular look in his eyes that he was begging for someone to notice.

I sat back down on the couch in the same place that I had been before I left and only a moment later did Roxas enter and stand directly in front of me. I crossed his arms, popped his him and smirked at me. I simply stared and smiled my picture perfect Cheshire cat smile right back at him. I stared. And Stared. And stared.

Then I saw it; the look in his eyes. It was sad. To see the emotions I saw swimming through the eyes of a boy as beautiful as he is. The emotions were of the following: Sadness, neglect, rejection, failure, hurt, broken hearts, bad memories, but the most prominent was the saddest; self-hate. I wanted to cry for him. What could happen to make someone HATE themselves! It is just so sad.

A tear nearly slipped down my face and Roxas blinked. "Um, so, mind telling me where the bathroom is. I can't seem to find my way around here. It's like I'm just walking in a giant circle." I knitted my brows together, trying to mask my confusion and pointed to a door directly next to the entrance door to our room.

I watched mournfully after him. Now I could see it in the way he carried himself. The way he let his arms hang limply and head hang low. I snapped in the direction of his brother. "Sora? Is there something going on with your brother?" I asked, looking at the small brunette boy.

He closed his eyes and turned to sit down on the couch. "None of your business." He said, sounding, is it possible, happy? I don't know, maybe it was mockery.

"I know about Diamond Ranch." I said sternly.

He snapped his head up, eyes wide with surprise. "You do? Well, anyways, I don't think it is any of your business why he was there. You probably have figured me out by now. But he…he has been through a whole lot more than you could possibly imagine." Sora said.

"Like what!" I asked. I was really starting to worry. What could be so bad that Sora would not tell me?

"You've seen that look in his eyes Axel. I know you have." The boy sounded somewhat pleading. "What Roxas has been put through has got to be the worst thing you could imagine. Axel, I know you are starting to put the pieces together. I know Vincent told you about our family issues. You only intend to help him, but he is fine… for now."

This conversation was starting to get too deep for me.

"Well, that was awkward! And you might want to get the door; it has been making strange noises for minutes!" Demyx screamed. I don't get that lazy ass. Why didn't he just get the door? I sighed and got up off of the couch to answer the door.

PARTY TIME 11:00

"AH! I have an Idea!" Demyx shouted from the couch. He stood up on the coffee table. "It is time to play, drum roll please…BABY I LOVE YOU TRUTH OR DARE STRIP VERSION!" (A/N: me and my friends play this at all of our parties. It really is funny...only if you are willing to do ANYHTHING!)

Namine, who was sitting next to me, giggled and clapped her hands in a dumb blondish kind of way. "Totally, okay everyone! Get in a circle."

I sighed. I really hated this game; doing such profane things just because you don't want to take your shirt off. But I am Axel Valentine. I don't give in.

Everyone sat down on the floor in the middle of the room. Kairi had a smile that said she was up to no good. "Roxas." She said looking at the short boy. "I dare you, to kiss…..SORA! And you have to take your shirt off if you don't. Oh, and don't forget the baby I love you." The girls giggled. GREAT! Just GREAT! I was going to have sit and watch and round of Strifecest! I really don't understand girls…

"*sigh* okay. You can have your fun." The blonde stood up and walked over to his brother and sat down in front of him. "Oh….BABY!..I looove you." He said running his hands down his brothers torso. He grabbed his face and pulled him in for a kiss, kiss being an understatement.

"WHOOOOO!" Xigbar screamed at the top of his lungs. Demyx looked over to me, sitting next to Riku. Riku was pouting and, frankly, I was beginning to understand girls' obsession with the whole 'twins making out thing'.

"BRO! You okay? You seem like you want some BAD!" I just looked at him and shook my head in a awkward manner. I turned to Roxas, since he was up next.

"So, Sora…You are my brother. You are up next." He said before taking a bite of his Pizza and swallowing. "I dare you… To pole dance….BUT! Riku is your pole." He said maniacally. I did have to admit that was one good dare.

Everyone in the room burst out laughing. Larxene was holding her stomach. "Dude, you are TOTALLY sick! I focking love you!" She said between laughs.

A blush formed on Riku's face. I can guarantee this will end hilariously.

Sora shrugged and walked over to Riku, licking his lips sensually with a lustful look in his eyes. Riku stood up before the short brunette boy. Said boy ran his entire body down Riku, swaying his hips all along the way. He turned around and ran his backside down Riku's side. I could see a look in Sora's eyes. It said 'you are just too damn sexy and I would like to have you right here, right now.' The next thing I know, Riku is turning the small boy around and pulling his face up for a kiss. The two males fell to the floor legs entangled in each other's until Xigbar and Saix came to pull them apart.

"Well, that was interesting…" Marluxia said, messing with his mop of pink hair.

"Hey Axel, I bet Roxas wants to know if your hair is naturally red. Now, tell us, do you have proof that it is naturally red?" Demyx said. I let my mouth hang open for a moment before it registered in my head what he wanted me to do; take my pants off.

I stood up and sighed. "If I must, I must. And I will not back down from a dare." I unzipped my pants and began to pull them down to my ankles.

SHINRA

3rd POV

"Cloud, come here." Vincent said to the blonde man standing on the other side of the room. Said man looked in his direction before walked closer. "My son said that Roxas and Sora are back from boarding school. Why didn't you say anything about it?" He asked trying to hide is ulterior motives.

Cloud crossed his arms over his chest. "Ya, they are back. What about it?" He said.

The man with the raven hair turned his back so that he was looking out of a window. "Axel also said that Roxas has some issues with self-esteem. Are you catching on, my dear friend?" Vincent asked.

"Humph, what happens with me and my family is none of your business, Vincent. And it is none of your sons, either. You can tell him that he has nothing to worry about."

Vincent sighed an all knowing sigh. "And why would I lie to my son when I know the truth? Cloud, you need to understand that, if you are hurting Roxas, it is every bit my business to know. And if Axel finds out, then let him know. There is nothing that I will do about it. But just so that you know, he is at my place right now with the boys and some of their friends." He said before turning his back and walking away.

BACK HOME

Vincent walked back into the house and looked around. Everything was quiet. He reached behind him for the door knob, but found himself grabbing someone's hand. He turned around to face an angry looking blonde man. "I am here to pick my kids up if you don't mind." Cloud said in an aggressive tone. Vincent sighed and let go of the man's hand before walking up the stairs to the room that his boys shared. He knocked on the door before opening it. He peeked inside. "Roxas, Sora, your dad is here. He says that you need to come home. Say your good byes and come down stairs."

Roxas turned around and looked at the raven haired man with wide eyes. "Do we really have to go?" He said timidly. Vincent made a mental note of this.

"Yes, now come on." He said. Demyx laughed and leaned over near Zexion. "He said cum!" He whispered in his ear. (A/N: Demyx is written after my dear friend Ellie, we have one rule, no saying come/cum around Ellie)

Sora shrugged and stood up, pulling his brother up along with him. They grabbed their bags on their way out and slowly walked down the stairs where their father was standing at the bottom. "Do we really have to go dad?" Sora asked disappointed.

The blonde man smirked. "No no, you can stay Sora. But Roxas needs to come home. You can stay." He said smiling at the little brunette boy beside him.

"Why can't I stay? That is so not fair! Why does Sora always get to do stuff, and I CAN'T!" Roxas screamed at his father.

"Roxas….. Don't, worry I am coming too." his brother whispered, putting a hand on his shoulder.

Cloud crossed his arms over his chest and leaned in closer to the blonde boy. "Because I said so! You will do as I say if you ever want to come over here again! Are we in agreement!" He screamed.

Roxas looked down at his feet. "Yes sir." Roxas turned and walked out the door to the house. Followed by his father and brother. Axel stood at the top of the stairs, letting the scene that he just witnessed run through his head over and over again.

Once again, I am very sorry that it took me sooo long to update, but I will try really, really hard to get my computer back. Hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I am glad to hear that some of you understood the ending to the last one. BYEBYE!
