二人の約束
The Promise Between the Two of Us
Chapter 3:
Our Promise
"Keyblade?"
Roxas recalls back about the key-like blade he wielded when fighting against the creature. He shakes off the thoughts when he felt Sora slumped into his arms. "Sora? Sora!"
Sora stirs as he opens his eyes slowly to Roxas, he gives a weak smile. "Hey, there…Roxas…"
"Are you alright?" Roxas asked in worried, by noticing the once cheerful teen so weak.
"Yeah…it's nothing…" Sora stands up slowly, but his legs wobble as he fell backwards. Roxas manages to catch hold of him. "Sora!"
"Sorry…don't know why…I feel so tired…" He mumbles as his eye lids were half closed, like he is going to fall asleep.
"You need to rest." Roxas looks around as he notices a spot where there is a tree slanted in a way where people could sit on it. (The one Riku always sits on, if you got play the game, you will know.) He places Sora's arms over his shoulders as he piggybacks him to the spot.
Reached the spot, he gently lowered Sora from his back and let him down on the ground, while his back leaning against the slanted tree. Roxas settles down besides him as he glanced at the sun set, which reminds him of the view from the station tower.
"It's beautiful."
"It really is…"
Roxas turns to his side as Sora was glancing at the scenery too. "You're alright now? Don't you need more rest?"
"I'm feeling a bit better now, by looking at this sight makes me better I think…" Sora tilts his head a little to face Roxas, "Umm…Roxas?"
"Yeah?"
"Can…Can I lend your shoulder?" Sora asked nervously, with a faint blush on his cheeks. Roxas too, blushes a little, but smiles at him. "Yeah, sure. Why not?"
Sora smiles as Roxas moves closer, allowing Sora to rest his head on the shoulder. Roxas blushes when he smells the scent of Sora's hair and how he nuzzles against his shoulder. He like this feeling, it is not like with Hayner and the others. He did not know how to phrase this feelings into words, just that he enjoys being like this with Sora.
"How I wish, that I will never wake up…" He said his thoughts out loud, without noticing he did.
"Roxas?"
"Because if I'm awake that means it's time for me to go…And…I don't know if I will be able to see you again…"
Sora shifts his body a little so that he was facing Roxas fully; he then cupped Roxas's face with both of his hands. Roxas blushes at his touch and the smile he is displaying.
"Someone once told me, although I don't remember who…that even though we were separated, we won't forget about each other. As long as the thoughts and beliefs were there, we will sure to meet each other again, someday…"
"As long as the thoughts and beliefs…"
"Roxas, even if we were really separated, for whatever reason, if we continues to remember each other, I know that someday…we will meet again."
Roxas smiles as he places his hand on top of Sora's. "Yeah, and if not…I will go look for you. I will."
"I as well. No matter how hard the journey is, how long it's gonna take, I'll look for you."
Grabbing his hands, Roxas pulls Sora into his arms, giving him a tight yet gentle embrace. He breathes in Sora's scent as he whispers into his ear. "That's a promise then…"
Sora buries his face into Roxas's shirt while having his arms around Roxas's waist. "Yeah…a promise between the two of us…"
The two remain in this position as they drift into sleep.
Roxas opens his eyes and finds that he was back in the dark dimension. "What? Why am I…? Sora! Sora, are you there?"
Roxas.
Turning around, Roxas saw the same mysterious girl standing a distance from him. "Who are you? Where's Sora?"
Sora is safe and sound.
You will see him later.
I called you here to show you something.
She raises her hand and everything starts to light up. Flashes of Sora's memories starts to flash by, his journey, his destiny, his comrades and other friends, the end of the fight. The flashbacks ended, Roxas clenches his head to a sudden pain in his head. When he looks up, the girl was just in front of him, making him jerks back a little.
"Why? Why you showing all me all of this! What is the meaning of this? You have connection to Sora?"
I...I'm the one who erased his memories
"What!" He gets into a defensive position. "Why did you do that?"
Someone orders me to...
For a certain goal.
But now...I'm trying to put all the pieces back...
"What's the sudden change of mind?"
It is to...
Her words were cut off when Diz appears in front of her, grabbing her by the arm. "I didn't know that you were doing all this here."
But if I don't tell Roxas, he and Sora will...!
"No, you are coming with now!"
"Hey! Let go of her." Roxas ran forward and was about to hit Diz when they disappear into the darkness. Follow by that, a strong force pushes Roxas out of nowhere.
ROXAS!
"Whoa!" Roxas jerks up from his place, he pants as cold sweat ran down his neck and forehead.
"Roxas?"
Roxas notices Sora was kneeling beside him, looking worriedly at him. Roxas smiles and brushes Sora's face with his hand. "I'm alright…Sorry to make you worry."
"You were stirring in your sleep, I got worried…so…"
"It's alright now…"
"What happened?"
Roxas looks from the night sky and to Sora. "Sora…I think…I know about your past…"
"Eh?"
Roxas was about to open his mouth to talk, when he had this sudden jerk of pain in his head. He clenches at the sides of his head and tries to fight off the pain.
"Roxas? Roxas, what's wrong?" Sora kneels there helplessly.
"Sora…I…"
Suddenly, a ray of bright lights shines at them causing them to lose sight of each other.
Roxas's Room
"SORA!"
Roxas had returned back to his room as he looks around. He slams his fist against the wall. "Damn, why is this always happening?"
It was when he noticed the time on his clock, it was the time he and the others would gather at the Usual Place. He quickly gets up from the bed and get dressed as he rushes out.
Usual Place
Roxas arrived at the Usual Place, but no one was there. "Where's everyone?"
It was when he went outside; he noticed the poster about the "Struggle Tournament". To his disbelief, the tournament is today! He quickly fastens his pace to the sandlot.
Sandlot
Most of the town folks have already gathered at the sandlot. Cheering loudly at the tournament. It was then Pence and Olette came to him.
"Roxas! What are you doing, coming here so late? You are next!"
"What? Who's my opponent?"
"Me." They turn to Hayner who grins at Roxas. "Let's have a good fight, Roxas."
"Yeah, you bet!"
"Next round! Is the match between Roxas and Hayner! Let's see who will win in this friendship burning match! Ready, contestants? 1! 2! 3…BATTLE!"
Hayner dashed forward for the first strike but Roxas dodges and giving a hard swing of his bat at the back of Hayner, sending him flying to the other edge of the court. The crowd cheers at his fast moves. Hayner was trying to get up, while Roxas was amazed by his speed and reaction.
'What is all this? Why am I…?'
Breaking from his thought, he saw Hayner charging towards him again. He dodges the attack by doing a back flip, the moment he landed on the ground, he charges forth and giving Hayner a hard hit on the stomach. The orbs carried by Hayner drops out everywhere. But the match was done as Hayner had lost his conscious at the last hit.
"The winner is…ROXAS!"
Roxas rushes towards Hayner as he picks him up with the help from Pence as they bring him to a corner to rest. On their way, Seifer was going for the next round against Vivi.
When they reached the benches, they lay Hayner down. He starts to stir and opens his eyes. "Gee…It hurts…What happened?"
"Roxas defeated you. You were knocked out cold."
Hayner looks at Roxas, "Since when have you become so good? That last one really hurts…"
"I'm sorry…"
"Hey, don't be like that! Well, but if you are feeling sorry, win the tournament for us! Okay?"
"Yeah, I will."
Suddenly, the crowd gasped. Roxas and group turns around and notice that Seifer was sprawled out of the court, while Vivi was left there standing.
"And the winner is…VIVI!"
"What? Seifer lost the match, and to Vivi!" Hayner gasped as he looks at Seifer who was help up by Raijin and Fujin.
"Next round, is Roxas VS Vivi! Both contestants please get ready!"
"You up, Roxas! Be careful."
Roxas nods his head as he went up to the court. Standing a distance from him, is Vivi. But somehow, it gives him a feeling that it is not the Vivi they knew. Shaking of his thoughts, he gets into his fighting position.
"Ready, contestants? 1! 2! 3…BATTLE!"
The moment the start of the battle is announced, Vivi dashed forth and gives Roxas a hard swing at the side, but hr managed to guard it. Vivi do a few back flips and landed on the ground.
'When did Vivi become so good?'
Suddenly, Vivi's bat seems to become bigger as he jumps towards Roxas and hits him at his shoulder.
"AH!"
Vivi continues his assault, as Roxas tries to guard all the attacks. He got his chance when Vivi do his back flips again, as he dashes forth and give him a rapid combo. After the last hit, Roxas jumps backwards as Vivi regains his stand. All of the sudden, the whole crowd went quiet, but looking carefully, the time seems to stop.
"What is happening here?"
He looks at Vivi who starts to glow and transforms into the white creature again. Two more of them appear as they surround him.
"Again?" His bat changes into the keyblade. "The key…blade… Darn it!" He gets into his position as he wipes out all the creatures.
When the coast is clear, he heard someone clapping. Turing around, a guy dressed in black coat was standing at a corner. "Nice move, Roxas. As good as old." The person starts to move closer.
"What…?"
"You really don't remember anything, do you? It's me." The person pulls down his hood and a guy with spiky long red hair was revealed. "Axel. Remember?"
"Axel..?"
"Looks like you really do…"
"Who are you? And what is happening down here!"
"This town is that guy's creation right? That means we have no time for Q & A. After I take you back, conscious or not, I'll tell you the whole story then."
Axel stretches out his hands as flames circles around his arms, and forms into two round wheel-like weapon with spikes around it. Suddenly, the surrounding starts changed a little.
"Oh no!" Axel looks at the surrounding and starts to panic. "Come on, Roxas!"
Roxas looks from him to the keyblade. Gripping the handle, he tossed it forward, landing hard on the ground. "What the hell is happening here?" But to his surprise, the keyblade reappears in his hand.
"Number 13, Roxas. The chosen wielder of the Keyblade." Axel said he gets into position.
Roxas looks at the keyblade and glares at Axel. "Fine! If a fight is what you want, I'll give you one!"
Before they can start, Diz appears in between them. "Stop this foolishness at once!"
"So, it really is you!" Axel shouted as he tosses his weapons at Diz, but was deflected by an invisible shield. Diz turns towards Roxas. "Roxas, do not heed what this man is talking."
"Roxas! Don't get fooled by him!" Axel shouted.
"Roxas!"
"Roxas!"
Roxas covers his ears, trying not to listen to either one of them. "Hayner…Pence…Olette…" He looks up as he shouted out, "HAYNER! PENCE! OLETTE!"
Time unfreezes as everything was back to normal, instead of Diz and Axel were there, it was back to Vivi who was lying on the ground. Roxas looks around, noticed that he had returned to the time and the keyblade had changed into his bat. Everyone was amazed at what had happened to Vivi, but Roxas was announced as the winner of the match.
As he walks to his friends who were cheering for him, he thought back about what just happened. Hayner pats his back, "Hey, Roxas, are you alright?"
"I'm…I'm alright…"
"Come on, you're up!"
Roxas walks up to the court and stood in front of the champion, Setzer. In his mind, he is still frustrated on the previous matter, he do not even notice that the match had already started.
"Hey, kid, you shouldn't daydream in a match!" Setzer smirks as he swings his bat at Roxas, who looks up and glares at him. Dodging the swing, Roxas let out his frustration on Setzer by doing a rapid combo with a final critical hit. Setzer was sent flying to a corner, everyone gasped a little at Roxas's outburst.
"Eh..It looks like this year's champion is…Roxas! Please come and receive your…Hey!"
Roxas did not bother about the prize as he walks off to the station tower. Hayner and group take the prize as they chase after Roxas.
Station Tower
Roxas stares down at his hands and sighs.
"Hey, you worried us just now."
Roxas looks back as Hayner and group came over to join him. Hayner gives Roxas the Struggle Trophy, "Here, it's yours."
"We promised to spilt the prize right?" Roxas said a he plugs out the crystal balls on the trophy one by one, and toss to his friends. He himself gets the blue crystal ball as he holds out it in front of him, letting the sunlight shines on it. 'It shines like Sora's eyes…How I wished he would be here to see this…"
"Hey guys, I got gifts too. Tada!" Olette cheers as she takes out four sea-salt ice creams.
Roxas stands up to reach for it when one of his feet slips off the edge. "Huh?"
And he fells…
