Chapter 14: Troubles and Solutions

Roxas and Xion returned from a mission, both of them were injured because they got distracted and a Heartless took this opportunity to damage them. Xion felt guilty for these, it had been more than two weeks since she lost the ability to summon her Keyblade, she tried everyday but it was useless and she started to feel more frustrated than ever.

Both teens went to the girl's room were Axel was waiting them while playing Mario 64 meanwhile.

-Finally, I thought you were never going to come back! –Axel exclaimed, both Roxas and Xion sighed

-You didn't appear at the clock tower! –Roxas accused making Axel shrugged

-It's not my fault, you take too much time on finishing your missions. Now quit playing around and lets play something! -he happily said, Roxas excitedly took a controller and started choosing a game, but Xion just sighed and shook her head

-No thanks, I don't feel like playing.

-What! But you always want to play! –Roxas cried

-I'm going to take a shower. –she sadly smiled walking over to her bathroom and closing the door. Axel stared at her raising an eyebrow until she disappear from his sight

-What's wrong with her? –Axel asked Roxas, he sighed

-I guess she's frustrated because she still can't summon her Keyblade. She keeps trying but…

-Oh… that's bad. You know you can't cover her forever, right?

-I have to! We have to find a way to make her able to summon her Keyblade again! –Roxas practically shouted madly

-Relax boy… I'll think in something, I promise. –Axel assured, making Roxas nod and smile a little

Meanwhile Xion was listening to her friends conversation, a little smile on her face…

-Thank you, guys. –she whispered to herself,

She undressed and opened the shower, Absent on her thoughts, she stood there leaving the water to fall off her body, thinking and trying to figure out why she lost the ability to summon her Keyblade. She thought it over for a while until she thought something…

-The last days I used my Keyblade were…when Roxas was asleep. No, I think the last time was a few days later after Axel came back from Castle Oblivion. –she shook her head trying to fade those thoughts. Trying to convince herself there was no connection between Axel's coming back and her Keyblade.

The next day, Roxas and Xion were heading to the Grey Area for them to receive their mission, Xion was still lost in her thoughts, thinking if there was a relation between Roxas' waking up and her losing her Keyblade.

They reached the Grey Area, Saix was still not there, strange in him. Roxas started talking with Axel while Xion sat on the couches with Demyx who was playing with his Sitar and Xigbar trying to read a book.

-Demyx… I can't stand it anymore! How am I supposed to enjoy my day off with you and your stupid noise! –Xigbar shouted to Demyx

-Oh Xigbar, you're so boring! –Demyx protested, Xigbar summoned one Arrow gun

-Please don't make me use it. –Xigbar said, aiming at Demyx. Demyx gulped and stop playing his Sitar for the relief of everyone. Xion giggled at Demyx fear to Xigbar. With Demyx lack of ability to stay quiet, he soon found something else to do

-You know something Xion? You've been with us for some time and I've never get the chance to see your Keyblade. –Demyx said, Xion started to get nervous

-Re…Really? –she managed to said

-Yes! Could you show it to me?

-Umm… I… I don't know… I don't like to… summon it here on the castle. –she lied, Demyx raised an eyebrow and Xigbar stop reading his book and putted his attention on the nervous girl

-Huh? Why? Don't be bad, please show it to me? –Demyx begged, Xion felt more nervous now as she noticed even Xigbar had his eye on her. Fortunately for her, she spotted Saix entering the Grey Area…

-Whoa! Its going to be another time, I have to go and get my mission! –she quickly said standing up and running towards Saix. Roxas noticed Xion running and spotted Saix …

-Looks like someone wants to go out. –he chuckled

-Hey, she isn't a dog man. –Axel joked, both guys started laughing as they approached Saix.

-Roxas, you must go to Twilight Town. Destroy the giant Heartless. Xion, you go to Beast's Castle and destroy the giant Heartless also. –Roxas, Axel and Xion gasped at Saix words

-What! Why aren't I'm going with Roxas? –Xion protested, Saix glared at her as she took a few steps back nervously

-Two giant Heartless appeared at different worlds, you can't go together. –Xion started biting her lip and set her sight on the floor, trying to contain the anger and impotence she felt at that moment.

-Well, I got an idea. Why don't I go to Twilight Town and take care of the Heartless? –Axel intervened

-You know that's not possible, you can't collect the hearts without a Keyblade. –Saix glared at him

-Well, I'll just fight it, not destroy it. That way, they can go and defeat it tomorrow. –Axel suggested again, Saix shook his head in disapproval, but finally agreed.

-Fine. But this is your last mission together. From tomorrow on, you two are working Solo again. No excuses! –Saix warned and left, Roxas and Xion sighed in relief

-Thank you, Axel. You saved me. –Xion thanked him, Axel scratched his neck

-Yes, but only for today. We must find a way for you to remember how to call your Keyblade. –Roxas said, Xion sighed

-It's useless. I've trying everyday but it just doesn't come. Maybe I should flee from the Organization since now before they turn me into a dusk. –Xion said depressed

-Actually I have one more plan. Why don't you lend Xion your Keyblade for all the day. Maybe it works on something. –Axel suggested

-I don't know Axel… What if it doesn't work? What I'm going to do? –she asked fearfully

-Well, I guess that's the only option you have now… -Roxas added, Xion sighed and nodded

-Is it ok with you? –she asked Roxas

-Sure! Now lets get going. –he said opening a dark corridor followed by Xion who sighed before stepping into it.

They reappeared at the entrance of Beast's Castle. Roxas summoned his Keyblade and hand it over to Xion, she shyly took it, was it her or Roxas' Keyblade was lighter than hers.

-Are you sure Roxas? What are you going to use as a weapon?

-It's ok. I'll use umm…. this. –he said picking a stick, Xion giggled and thank him.

They began to search for their target finding some other Heartless on the way which Xion easily defeated. They continued on their way trying no to be found by the Master of the castle. After advancing and cautiously searching on the rooms of the castle, they heard some woman shouts.

-Looks like someone else found our target… -Roxas shrugged

-Should we go?

-Yeah, but in any case put your hood on. –Roxas advice her as he covered part of his face with his hood followed by Xion and started running toward the direction of the shouts. After a little running they found a woman in a blue and white dress escaping from Heartless that were attacking her.

Roxas and Xion quickly got between her and the Heartless and started defeating them. The woman was surprised to notice the Keyblade on Xion's hands and how Roxas tried to defeat the Heartless with a stick. After some minutes of battling, all the Heartless were defeated.

-This thing is useless! –Roxas said angrily throwing the stick to the floor.

-Sora…? –the woman said walking toward Roxas, he just stood there, for some reason he felt like he already knew the woman, she removed Roxas hood revealing his blonde hair

-Roxas! What's wrong with you? –Xion gasped

-Oh! Sorry I confused you with another guy… But you do look a little like Sora…

-I have no idea what are you talking about! –Roxas replied shrugging

-Roxas! Do you remember we have a mission? –Xion asked sarcastically, Roxas chuckled

-You're right, sorry! Hey, can I borrow this? –Roxas asked taking a decoration sword

-Umm sure… -the lady replied

-Good, let's go Xion! –Roxas smiled and started searching for the Heartless, they finally found it on the dinner room of the castle.

-Are you sure you can fight with that heavy thing? –Xion asked

-Sure. Just wait and see. –Roxas confidently replied as they ran toward the Giant Heartless that resulted to be a giant dog. The dog tackled the two teens who barely defended themselves with their weapons.

Xion started running again and attacked the Heartless with the Keyblade, Roxas used the opportunity to attack also but as soon as he was going attack the dog defended itself with it's teeth and broke Roxas' weapon.

-Damn it! They don't make swords like they used to. –Roxas said angrily. He then was tackled by the Heartless. Xion managed to stay on the top of the Heartless and continued attacking it.

The Heartless started shaking its body making Xion fell from it and it then tackled her and sent her flying toward a wall. The Heartless started charging against Xion again, Roxas got between Roxas and the Heartless and tried to startle it with some fire magic, but the fire never came and he was heavily tackled by the Heartless and flied the same direction Xion was landing above her.

-Roxas, here it comes again. –she warned as he got off her. They barely managed to dodge the attack, the Heartless tackled the wall, Xion used this opportunity to give a strong hit to the Heartless and finally defeated it.

She stared at the heart the Heartless released until it disappeared on the air.

-It's over, Roxas. –she smiled at him

Roxas smiled as Xion returned him the Keyblade. Xion was afraid to try and summon her Keyblade but was afraid and decided to do it on the clock tower with Axel and Roxas. She opened a dark corridor and went to the clock tower with Roxas. They reappeared at the clock tower and started eating their ice creams, a little while later Axel appeared. After they all finish with their ice creams, they stared cheering Xion's name.

-You can do it Xion! –Axel cheered, Roxas nodding

-Yeah Xion, you just have to believe. You must have faith. –Roxas added, Xion sighed trying to relax herself, closed her eyes and finally tried to summon her Keyblade and…

-You did it! –Roxas cried, Xion opened her eyes in disbelief and Roxas was right, she had her Keyblade on her hand

-Oh my God! It's here! –Xion gasped surprised as Roxas and Axel clapped her

-I knew it was a good idea. –Axel smiled, he and Roxas were surprised that Xion hugged them both, tightly almost making them fall from the clock tower.

-Thank you guys, you're the best friends ever! –she said, almost sobbing. Axel and Roxas were blushing at the girl's action but she didn't noticed.
