ROXAS

Chapter 21

I opened my eyes as I pushed myself off the ground. How many times have I don't that today?

My arm still hurt like heck, but I tried my best to ignore it.

"Roxas? You good?" Sora asked as he pulled himself to his feet as well.

I nodded, then took a glance around. We were still in Halloween Town.

"HOLY CRAP!!" Sora burst out.

I quickly turned to him, "what?!" I asked quickly.

"What in the world happened to your arm?!" He asked his eyes locked on my arm.

I glanced to my arm, it had gotten worse the colors green and yellow were there as well as purple, blue, and black. I groaned out of annoyance, "I met up with Aaron awhile ago." I simple stated, not really feeling up to tell him everything.

Sora didn't question it, as he ran in front of me, on of his spikes of hair hit me in my eye.

"Ah!" I yelled as my hand flew to my eye, "Sora! You dork! You got your hair in my eye!" I complained.

Sora rolled his eyes, as he kept walking.

"Geez, you could kill someone with that." I mumbled under my breath, while opening and closing my eye.

"We need to find the potion, so you can drink it." Sora stated as he waited for me to catch up.

I smirked, "No can do." I answered.

"What?" Sora panicked, "why?" He asked.

I laughed, "I already did, that's how I showed up to where you were." I explained.

Sora's face went into deep thought, then his face lit up, "hey! That means I wont die now! Whoohoo!" He celebrated.

"Whoopee…." I said in monotone, as I rubbed the back of my head with my good arm.

"Sora?! Roxas?!" Kairi's voice came from the distance.

"Kairi!" Sora yelled back, waving his arms around like he was in the second grade.

Kairi ran over to us, as fast as she could. She jumped into Sora's arms, and Sora hugged her. A shot of jealousy burst through me, I quickly pushed the feeling aside.

"I'm so glad you are alright! I thought you were gone." Kairi's grip on Sora tightened.

I rolled my eyes, then cleared my throat, "Yeah, I'm absolutely fine, I'm so touched that you were so worried about me and all." I stated sarcastically.

Kairi sent a apologetic look my way, "oh, sorry Roxas, I'm glad you're alright too." She faked a smile.

"Uh-huh, sure you are." I replied in a monotone voice.

Suddenly, another body slammed into me, wrapping their arms around me. I looked down to see a heedful of blonde hair. Namine.

She was obviously crying, as her shoulders shook up and down.

I hugged her back.

"I thought—I thought, you were—you were—gone." She whimpered. She slightly touched my bad arm. I flinched, she took it the wrong way as she backed away. "Roxas? You okay?" She then spotted my arm, then gasped, "it's getting worse! That needle must have hurt you bad." She commented as she tried to treat my arm.

"Needle?" Sora's head popped up, "Roxas, what is she talking about? What needle?" Sora gave me a look, that made me feel like a child getting caught.

"Uh-" I started as I glanced at Namine, who was just looking at me confused. "I—uh—remember what Aaron threatened you with awhile back?" I played with my fingers as I looked at them.

"…yes…" Sora slowly said, then suddenly gasped, "don't you dare tell me that he stabbed you with it!" Sora stood as still as a statue.

"Fine. I wont then." I turned away from him, shrugging.

"This is BAD!" Sora panicked, putting all o the pieces together. "But, you drank the potion, so that makes me so I won't die…but…you…" Sora pointed a finger at me as he trailed off.

I wanted to roll my eyes at Sora's slow reaction, but I resisted. "It's not a big deal." I assured them, "I'm not even suppose to exist anyway." I pointed out.

"You are not leaving me again." Annie's voice rang.

I turned to see her. Her eyes full of tears.

"You can NOT leave me again." Her week voice cracked.

"Annie…" My voice trailed off, I had no idea what to say to her.

"No!" She yelled, "no! No! No!" She shook her head violently.

I opened my mouth to protest, but Sora cut me off.

"She's right Roxas, you're our friend, you're probably the closet friend I've ever had. We will find a way to save you." Sora whispered.

I started chuckling.

The others looked at me in confusion.

I continued to laugh, "wow, Sora just gave a worthwhile speech, that's a once in a lifetime experience." I chuckled.

Sora smacked me in the side of my head.

"Ow." I laughed as I rubbed my head. Namine and Annie both giggled, it was nice to see them laughing again.

"I could try to talk to my brother." Annie suggested, as she put a finger to her chin.

"Anything would help." Kairi encouraged.

Suddenly, a random thought popped into my head, "Hey, what the heck happened to Axel?" I asked them.

"He jumped into the portal after Riku, remember?" Sora tried to remind me.

It was a little hazy, but I could kind of remember it.

"Gee, thanks for remembering, Roxas." Axel's friendly voice came towards us.

I turned to face him, "Axel!" I yelled to him.

"Hey buddy!" Axel greeted back.

I couldn't help but to see Kairi stiffen closer to Sora. Axel must have noticed too.

"Hey Kairi." He walked over to her, "sorry for kidnapping you… and all…of that… jazz… he…he." He trailed off.

We all laughed except Kairi, who just gave off a fake smile.

My arm shot a serge of pain through my body, making me weaker by the second. I knew my time was running out fast.
