二人の約束

The Promise Between the Two of Us

Chapter 13:

To Find is To Lose

Somewhere on an island

As the waves gently hits the beach, Kairi looks at the Destiny Island. She had moved out from that island to another, which is nearby. Recently she regains the memories of Sora and about their promise two years ago. How can she forget it anyway? But she did.

"Maybe...waiting isn't good enough."

"My thoughts exactly! If you have a dream, don't wait. Act. One of life's little rules. Got it memorized?" Axel appears near her suddenly through a dark portal.

Kairi steps back. "Who are you?"

"Axel. I happen to be an acquaintance of Sora's. Why don't we go see him?" Axel holds out his hand to her.

"...Sora?" It is then she heard a dog barks, snapping Kairi back to reality, it is Pluto. The dog bounds over and barks, spinning in circles and wagging his tail. Suddenly, Dusks appear and surround them, as Pluto snarls. They hear a whistle and a portal opens. Pluto leaps towards it, stops, and turns around. He barks at Kairi, like wanting her to follow him.

"We've got something in common, Kairi. You and I both miss someone we care about. Hey, I feel like we're friends already."

The Dusks are closing in on her, as she decides to run into the portal. "You're not acting very friendly!"

Kairi and Pluto arrive in a strange abyss with Nobody symbols in every direction moving along the walls and floor.

"Hey, what is this place?"

They hear another whistle and see a bright light at the end of the abyss. Pluto runs inside it. Kairi follows him, she enters and looks back, seeing a cloaked figure. The portal of light closes before she can find out more. The next thing she knows, she wakes up lying on the floor.

"You okay?"

She groans and sits up. She looks around to see two boys and a girl looking at her in worried, Pluto is beside her. She had landed in the usual place where Hayner, Pence and Olette hang out. "What...?"

"You and that dog came flying out of a hole in the wall. You nearly gave us heart attacks!"

Back on the Gummi Ship

Sora winces as he sits up from his seat. He is still feeling daze from his dream, when he remembers what happened earlier, snaps him awake.

'Roxas…why did he do that? Is he…?'

Sora sighs as he walks to where Donald and Goofy are. "A-hyuk! Sora, good morning!" Sora only nods in reply. "Ermm…We just received an information from Chip and Dale. They said that we can go to Twilight Town now! Do you want to go visit Hayner and crew?"

"Sure, why not? Let's go Donald."

Donald nods as he pilots the ship towards Twilight Town.

Twilight Town

They enter the Tram Common when they see Vivi running past them.

"H-Help! The sandlot! It's Seifer! Somebody please help us!"

"Gwarsh! Sound like we've got trouble!"

They run to the Sandlot, to see Seifer, Fuu, and Rai lying on the ground surrounded by Dusks. Seifer tries to get up, when Sora stands in front of him, with his keyblade in hands. "We'll take it from here!"

They fight off all the Nobodies when a cloaked figure stands beside them clapping his hands. "Impressive. By the way, have you seen a man named Axel? I expect he's here somewhere."

Sora feels the same heart ache again at the mention of the name. He scowls at the man. "Like I care." Sora readies his Keyblade.

"You see, Axel's no longer acting in our best interest."

"Hmph! Not a very organized Organization..." The man points at Sora warningly. "Don't let your guard down. Axel will stop at nothing to turn you into a Heartless."

Sora places a hand on his hip. "What? He wants my Nobody or what? Gee, thanks for looking out for us, mister. But I'm sure we can take care of ourselves just fine."

The man chuckles. "Glad to hear it. Axel aside, it would break our hearts to hear something happened to you."

"Hearts? You don't have any hearts!"

"True, we don't have hearts." He takes off his hood, revealing his long blue hair and x-shaped scar on his face. "But we remember what it was like. That's what makes us special. I forget to introduce myself, the name's Saix."

A portal appears behind Saïx.

"Whaddya mean?"

"We know very well how to injure a heart. Sora, you just keep on fighting those Heartless."

Sora whispers to Donald. "Let's jump in after him!"

"How come?"

Sora looks at the portal. "I'm not sure, but maybe he'll lead us to the Organization's world."

Saïx overhear the conversation. "Don't be reckless. Do you want to end up like Riku?"

"What!?"

Saïx bows out through the portal, which disappears. Sora runs after him but he is too late. "Hey, wait! ...What did he mean, end up like Riku?"

"Hey, how 'bout you get out of my town now? You've caused enough trouble." They turns around to see Seifer and crew staring at them.

Donald stares back to Seifer. "Have it your way! C'mon, guys."

"Hold it!"

Donald stomps his feet. "Make up your mind!"

Seifer holds up the Four Crystal Trophy. "This goes to the strongest guy in Twilight Town." Sora points to himself questioningly and shakes his head. "Thanks, but...we don't really need it."

Seifer runs up and thrusts it into Goofy's arms. "Whoa!" He smirks at Sora and leaves, Rai and Fuu following. After they left, Pence runs in from the other direction.

"HHEEYY! Sora!" He pants as he stops in front of the trio. "Um...Pence, right?"

"Do you know a girl named Kairi?"

Sora jumps in surprise. "K...Kairi!? I sure do!"

"Then you better come to the station!"

Pence, Sora, Donald, and Goofy run to the Station Plaza. "He-ey!" Hayner and Olette run up to them. Sora looks at them. "Hey, so how do you guys know Kairi?"

Olette and Hayner look at each other sadly. They explain what happened to Sora.

Flashback

Kairi is telling them the adventure that Sora been through two years ago.

Olette claps her hands together. "What a romantic story!"

"If you stick around, Sora's bound to show up." Pence smiles at her.

"Yeah, he said he's coming back."

"Okay!"

"What took you so long, Kairi?" A voice sounds through the place asAxel walks in through a portal. Pluto breaks into a defensive stance. "Somehow I just knew you'd be here. I tell ya, Kairi, you've got a lot ofguts, jumping right into the darkness like that."

Axel walks out of the portal towards her. Hayner runs for a punch, but passes rightthrough him. Pence does as well. Axel grabs Kairi by the arm and drags her backto the portal.

"Let go of me! Let go!"

Pluto runs in after them as the portal vanishes, leaving the trio in shock.

Flashback End

Sora holds up the Oathkeeper keychain. "Kairi..." He pockets the charm back.

Goofy whisper to Donald. "Ya think it mighta been Axel?"

"Sorry..."

Sora looks at the group. "Hey, it's not your fault. C'mon, cheer up! Like I can even say that..." Sora sighs, Goofy walks towards him. "I gotta help Kairi!" Sora's outburst scares Goofy, who drops the trophy causing the four crystals on it spill in different directions. Hayner, Olette, and Pence pick them each of them up. "That was close!"

Sora picks up the blue one and holds it up to the light. Goofy takes a blue one out of the munny pouch and holds it up also. Hayner, Olette, and Pence hold theirs up. Sora is enjoying the view through the crystal when a vision of Roxas doing the same thing goes through his mind.

"It shines like Sora's eyes…How I wished he would be here to see this…"

"Eh?" More visions start to go through his mind.

"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."

"I as well. No matter how hard the journey is, how long it's gonna take, I'll look for you."

"Does…Does that mean…we will not be able to see each other again?"

"Just remember our promise! No matter where we are, do not forget about it!"

"Sora!?"

"Gwarsh! Sora! Are you okay?"

Looking at the blue crystal ball in his hand and back to the sunset, trails of tears start to flow from Sora's eyes.

"I…remember it now…I remember all about it…Roxas…Our promise!!"

Sora's crystal starts to glow, and it floats into the air. Sora opens a gateway with his Keyblade. After it is done, he turns around at Donald and Goofy. "Guys!! Knock me out!!"

"What?!" Donald and Goofy gasps as they look at each other and back at the keybearer. "Just knock me out!! With your weapons!!"

"But Sora, why do you…?"

"If you guys won't do it…!" Sora raises his keyblade. "I'll do it myself!!"

THUD!!

The brunette fells onto the ground as all of them look towards Donald, who has a wand in his hand. "He asked for it!!"

In Sora's dream

Sora runs across the beach. "Roxas!! Roxas, where are you?!"

He stops midway as he pants. "Where could he be?" It is then, he remembers about the secret cavern as he dashes to it.

In the secret cavern

Roxas looks up at the craving, the blur picture has become clear. It shows Roxas, that is craved by Sora. Roxas brushes his hand over it, to realise that his hand starts to become transparent.

"So…the time has finally arrived."

"ROXAS!!"

The blond turns around to see Sora standing by the entrance, panting. "Sora…" Tears start to tickle down his cheek, as Sora dashes forth and jumps into the blond's arm.

"I'm sorry!! I'm so sorry!! I'm the one who said that 'no matter how hard the journey is, how long it's gonna take, I'll look for you.' But instead, I forget all about it! And you are suffering because of that! I…I…!"

Roxas holds Sora's chin up as he covers his mouth with his. Sora entwines his arms around the blond's neck, while Roxas holds him closer by the waist. They break off for breathe, as Sora blushes and smiles at his lover, but only to see that Roxas's whole body is starting to become transparent. "Ro…Roxas!!"

"It seems that it's time for me to go…"

"Eh?! What do you mean by that?! Why must you go?!" Sora gasps as he grabs hold tight onto Roxas's shirt. "I have finally remember about everything!! Is this…my punishment?!" Sora starts to weep but Roxas leans forth to kiss the tears away.

"It's not your fault. This is my fate."

"Fate? What fate?!"

"If you remember everything about me, I must disappear…no, you can say that I must go back to where I suppose to be."

"Where?! Where is it? I'll go and find you!"

Roxas shakes his head. "No, Sora. You and I can't exist at the same place. I…I'm a person who is not suppose to exist as well." Roxas's lower body starts to disappear completely, while his upper part is transparent.

"Roxas…! Please…Don't go…Please…!!" Sora cries as he tries to grab hold of Roxas, but his hand goes through the blond's body. Roxas leans forth and places a light kiss on Sora's lip.

"I will always be here with you." He places a hand on Sora's chest. "Because…I'm your…"

With that, Roxas disperses in small particles of light and flows into Sora's chest. Sora fells to his knees as he clenches his fist on his chest.

"Why…? Why is this happening…? RRRRROOOXXXXAAAASSS!!!!!!"

End of this chapter!!

Alrighty then, guys!! REVIEWS!!!

Quite a short chappy. Don't be sad that Roxas is gone in this chapter. The exciting part will come out next as the trio returns to Hollow Bastion for the big battle!!

Todae I play the Final Mix+, and I fought with Roxas at the Town that Never was. He is DAMN strong and fast!! But he's cool, lolx, as expected from my favorite character!! The instrumental version of Roxas's theme in the background VERY nice and sad TT

Then they will show flashback of Roxas and Axel having a talk, that part very sad...You can even see Axel shed a tear.

I will include this scene in this story too! It's so nice.

Review guys!!
