Chapter 4: New Friend

Roxas new misión was with Xion again, the misión was the same as yesterday: Heart Collection in Twilight Town. Roxas and Xion gathered everything they needed and went to their misión, however, something different happened when they got there…

Both teens stood out of the Dark Corridor, but as soon as they stood out, Xion took out her hood revealing her face…

-Good luck today, Roxas. –Xion said with a smile in her face

Roxas watched surprised Xion, that was the first time he have Heard her speak, it was the first time he has seen her face too, she had blue eyes just like him and short black hair, he could even think she was a pretty girl.

-Hmm thanks... –he finally said

They continued with their mission, this time they found Heartless really fast and defeated them quickly, before lunch, they had already reached their quota. They sat on the grass of the forest for lunch time and start eating.

After lunch, they started talking at nothing in particular, it was somehow weird for Roxas talking to somebody who wasn't Axel, but he actually enyojed Xion's company. He thought in asking Xion why she has been so quiet and why she hadn't showed her face since her arrival, but he then remembered something Axel told him, and decided not to mention it.

-Thanks for yesterday, Xion. –he said with a smile

-For what?

-You gave me the half of your sandwitch, remember?

-Oh, for that? It was nothing.

-Yes it was, I was starving! That fool of Saix didin't let me have breakfast. –he said glaring at nothing in particular, Xion giggled at Roxas action

-Well, I heard you overslept…

-It wasn't my foult. I forgot to set my alarm.

-Well, I don't think Saix will be nice to you next time…

-I guess. –he said shrugging

-Well, I guess it's time for going back, Roxas. –she said standing on her foot and opening a dark corridor.

Because of their fast mission finishing, both teens had the rest of the day off, Roxas however didin't saw Xion again since they came back, and Axel was still on mission so he was just wandering off the castle all day.

Finally he sat on one of the couches in the Grey Area, Xigbar and Demyx were there too talking about nothing in particular. Roxas sighed bored.

-Hey, what's wrong kiddo? –Xigbar said

-Don't call me kiddo. –he said with his eyes set on the floor

-Alright, tiger.

-Don't call me…nevermind. –he sighed

-You're bored? –Demyx asked

-Yeah, I don't know what to do. This castle is really boring.

-Oh well, there are many forms I entertain myself. For example, I like playing my Sitar, or sometimes I read some Manga…

-Manga? What's that? –he said curious

-They are like magazines, except they contain really interesting stories, just like movies…

-Really? Well I don't think I'll like them, I hate television. –he admitted

-Come on kiddo, you have to try something new.

-Yeah, they are really interesting and entertaining. –Demyx added

-Alright, I guess I'll try…

-Good, wait here. I'll bring you one I'm sure you'll like. –Demyx said and he fastly went to his room in search of his favorite Manga

-So, why are you here kiddo? Thought you had a mission today.

-I already did it. Defeating Heartless is becoming easier as days pass by. –Xigbar chuckled

-Don't think your missions will always be the same, it seems you've never fought a giant heartless, huh?

-Giant? No, never.

-Well, soon you'll fight one. I suggest you to stay alert if you don't want that thing to kill you.

-I will, Axel always tell me to stay alert in every mission.

-Yes? Well he has been a good mentor then. When you first arrived, it was imposible to hold a conversation with you. It was really annoying.

-I know. He told me to stop acting like a zombie. –Xigbar started laughing, at that moment, Demyx came back with a magazine in his hands.

-Here you go Roxas. –Demyx said handling a comic book to Roxas

A few hours later, Roxas was eating ice cream with Axel at the clock tower, Roxas was happily telling Axel the weird but happy day he had.

-So what's the manga about?

-It's about a ninja that that lives in a village with his friends. Demyx was right, its really fun to read this thing. –he said amazed, Axel chuckled at Roxas face

-I personally don't like those things. I found them boring. –he said with a disguisted face

-Well, I thought the same at first, but look at me now. –Axel shrugged

-It's your decision. So, how was your mission? It was with Xion, right? –Roxas nodded

-Yeah. You won't believe this, I saw her face, and she even talked to me!

-Really? –he nodded again

-Yes. She has blue eyes just like me, oh and black hair.

-And is she pretty?

-What do you mean by pretty? –he said confused

-Umm, forget it. –he said finishing his ice cream, he saw at the stick with sorrow

-I'm gonna miss this.

-What's wrong?

-Since tomorrow, me and other members are going to a place called Castle Oblivion, another castle of the Organization.

-Oh. –the blonde guy said with a sad tone

-Hey don't be sad, I'll be back before you know it. But, for now I have to get ready, be a good boy now. –he said disappearing in a dark corridor, Roxas sighed

Roxas continued eating his ice cream in silence until he finished it, before he tossed the stick, he noticed the word "WINNER" in it, he looked at it confused…

-I wonder what I won… I'll ask Axel tomorrow before he leaves.

With that, he opened a dark corridor and went back to the castle. The next morning, he tried and searched Axel, but he had already left so he would have to wait for his answer.

Roxas mission was again with Xion, he actually liked having missions with the girl because she wasn't as other members, however, he couldn't help feeling a little sad because of Axel's leaving, this was something Xion noticed…

-Roxas, are you ok? –she said concerned

-Uhmm yes… why?

-You look a little…distracted.

-Oh, its because Axel left. I don't know whay I'll do after missions. –Xion giggled

-You two are very close, right?

-Yeah. He's my friend.

-Your friend? –she said surprised, Roxas nodded

-Yes. He told me we were friends the other day.

-Oh. And do you think we can be friends?

-I guess. Let's ask Axel when he comes back.

-Ok –she said with a smile

-Hey lets finish our mission, I want to take you somewhere.

Xion stared confused at Roxas but nodded. After a day defeating Heartless, Roxas took Xion to the clock tower and bought her some ice cream just like he and Axel did. The girl was impressed by the sight of the town she had from there.

She happily accepted the ice cream Roxas gave her, she then was impressed by the delicious taste the ice cream had, she had never tasted something like that.

-It's salty, but sweet too. –she said staring at the ice cream

-Yeah. That was what I first said when I taste it. Delicous, right? –The girl nodded

-So, where are Axel and the other members?

-He said he was going to a place called Castle Oblivion. Another castle the Organization has. –The girl just nodded, the two teens stayed in silence for a time just enjoying their ice creams and the view they got. After a few moments, Xion spoke again…

-Roxas… do you want to see a movie with me tonight?

-A movie? I don't know, I don't like television.

-Why? I like it. There are all kind of shows and movies.

-Well, I thought reading was boring and now I love it. I guess watching television isn't as bad as I thought. –he whispered to himself

-What? –Xion said confused

-No-Nothing… Alright, I guess I'll give it a try.

-Really? Thanks. –she said with a smile

-Hehe, is nothing. –he said scratching his head
