Chapter three: getting there, part one
"Are you sure I look okay?" Xion asked me. We had decided to get our other clothes on.
"You look fine." I told her. She had a black and white horizontally striped shirt under a black strapless dress that flowed out to her knees. She was wearing black ballet flats. "Actually, not a lot of people can pull the layered dress look off." I mused.
I walked over to the mirror and straightened my purple plaid shirt over my dark blue jeans. I wondered if Larxene had picked out the outfit because the converse matched the dark purple in the shirt to a "t". I had taken the chance to raid my room of the possessions from my years on earth that had come with me. Meaning my iPod and my cellular mobile device, Qwerty.
I looked at Xion with an evil grin as I hooked up my ipod to the ihome and flipped on the intercom. Uso Mitaina "I Love You" by Utada Hikaru came on and I sang along, dancing around like an idiot. Xion joined in with the dancing hand hummed along.
"Kandouteki ni owaru SUTOORII hajimari wa. Ano hi kimi ga itta I love you. Machikirenai yo kouhan SUTAATO!" I screamed along with the chorus. "ENDORESU ni utagau yori saigo made. Ano uso mitai na I love you. Kiite itai yo zutto zutto!" Xion and I giggled as the song lulled and went into the second verse.
Xion and I both screamed 'I love you.' When necessary. We were having waaaay too much fun with my ipod. Whatever, fun with friends is fun nonetheless.
When that song was over, I turned my ipod volume down, letting the guys get their ears back. (For those of you curious, it switched to dark waltz, the song that I had sung earlier.)
"What the hell are you trying to do, make us go deaf?" Axel came into our room yelling. Roxas was a bit red in the face, probably from laughter.
"No, I was trying to give you Japanese pop culture shock." I shrugged.
"Next time don't do it so loud!" Axel yelled, getting in my face.
"Why not?" I asked at normal volume, barley controlling my anger.
"BECAUSE I ALMOST WENT FRIGGIN DEAF!" he exclaimed.
I snapped.
"YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO TURN THE FERKING THING OFF!" I screamed back, jabbing him with my finger. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Roxas and Xion leave to let us have at it. Fine, I didn't want to expose them to the horrible language that was about to erupt. "BUT YOU DIDN'T THINK OF THAT, DID YOU?"
"OF COURSE I THOUGHT OF THAT, BUT YOU SHOULD'VE KNOWN NOT TO DO SOMETHING SO STUPID!"
"It wasn't stupid." I muttered, feeling the tears welling up in my eyes and the stinging in my throat that I knew all too well.
"Oh, I'm sorry. What was that? I'M AFRAID I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Axel exclaimed, just being mean. Well, I'll admit, he did have the right to be a little mad, but this was just cruel.
"I SAID IT WASN'T STUPID!" I yelled at him, the tears breaking free. "I WAS JUST MESSING AROUND; YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CALL ME STUPID FOR HAVIN' FUN!"
That shut him up. Or maybe it was the fact that tears were flowing freely down my cheeks. "I haven't had a decent laugh in years." I sighed, wiping my eyes with the back of my hand.
"You missed one." Axel smirked, bending down to my eye level – a slight bend of his knees – and proceeded to wipe the stray tear away.
"Thanks, I guess I'm just feeling too many emotions at once to control them." I ran a hand through my hair, not liking how long it still was.
I walked over to the dresser, sat in front of the mirror and picked up a pair of scissors and went to work.
"I lived on Earth for the first twelve or thirteen years of my life." I told Axel. His eyes widened in shock.
"I had some pretty great friends; they were always there for me." I sighed, opening up the old wound, "it was all fine until the darkness took over earth."

"Man I hate the maths." I laughed. Sara, Sky and I had just gotten out of our 3rd period math class. We were headed off to band class and Sky was tagging along because he felt like it.
"I don't understand that probability crap!" Sara exclaimed, messing with her pony-tail of dirty-blonde hair.
"We know Sara." Sky sighed, rolling his chocolate brown eyes.
"Don't patronize me!" Sara yelled.
"You know we love you!" I exclaimed hugging her.
"I know." Sara laughed.
"Great, it is gonna be teaching the class today." I muttered. It was the (most likely) transsexual chorus teacher. I mean seriously, his first name was Ashley!
"We will be having a karaoke contest and everyone must sing once!" he yelled.
We had to draw our order out of a hat and guess what lucky orange haired female got to go first. Crap.
I flicked through the CDs and found one of Japanese pop songs. I choose Wonder 'Bout by Utada Hikaru.
Late at night I think about you sometimes
I don't cry, I wonder if you're alright
Late at night I think about you sometimes
Wonder why I wonder if you're alright
Thinking of the love we made
Ran around, out of town, now you're back again
Confusing true love and pain
Threw it down, now I'm back on my feet again
Are you asleep?
Or are you still afraid of the dark
Hugs and kisses, pictures and romances
Things that I wish I could do without
How many nights did I wander in the dark?
Counting secrets of my heart
Now and then I wonder 'bout
Who's eating, sleeping with you now?
How many times did I kiss you in the dark?
Watching memories depart
Then again I wonder 'bout
But I don't give a damn about you
Take a bite; the pleasure is all mine
Keep in mind I'll think about you sometimes
I'm alright; I'll think about you and I'll...
Turn this plight into a singer's delight
Living in a house of pain
Ran away, and I'm glad that I ran away
Rather be out in the rain
Now I understand why my mother ran away
No use asking
When did I start acting like such a jerk (you too)
Washing dishes, birthday wishes, watching baseball matches
The other future that I wonder 'bout
So many things I wish I didn't wonder 'bout
How many nights did I wander in the dark?
Counting secrets of my heart
Now and then I wonder 'bout
Who's eating, sleeping with you now?
How many times did I kiss you in the dark?
Watching memories depart
Now and then I wonder but I betcha
I betcha don't give a damn about
How many nights did I wander in the dark?
Counting secrets of my heart
Now and then I wonder 'bout
Who's eating, sleeping with you now?
How many times did I kiss you in the dark?
Watching memories depart
Then again I wonder 'bout
But I don't give a damn about you
How many nights did I wander in the dark?
Counting secrets of my heart
Now and then I wonder 'bout
Who's eating, sleeping with you now?
How many times did I kiss you in the dark?
Watching memories depart
Then again I wonder 'bout
But I don't give a damn about you
I went to sit down when this huge peal of thunder made everyone jump. Then these little demonic-bunny things appeared out of nowhere.
The class ran out, including the teacher, but my gut told me I had to stay and fight.
Fight with what? My mind screamed.
You will fight with the power of your ancestors. The powers of light and dark have been harboring in your soul, hidden until this moment. They will come free, but not without a price. A voice in my head said. It was female, and kind, but also emotionless, if that made sense.
What pir-? I never got to finish my sentence because my back exploded with pain, it felt as if my back had been shoved into a boiling pot of lava and was re-arranging itself.
When the pain stopped, I caught sight of me in the mirror.
"W-wings?" I stuttered. My shock was cut short by one of the demon-bunnies scratching my leg.
I kicked it clear across the room and into a few more of its friends. I fought tooth and nail to the front of the school where a few people had stayed and decided to fight.
I saw a familiar face and fought my way over to Sky. I was almost there when he yelled out "Behind you!"
I whirled round quickly to see a bigger version on the demon-bunnies jumping at me.
I held up my hand in a defensive position and felt a weight settle in it. It was a bow, the handle was cherry wood and the string was some odd silver color. It was already notched.
Instinct took over and I began shooting arrows at every demon-bunny I could find. Somehow Sky and I ended up fighting side by side.
"I'll never forget you, and everyone else." I told him.
"You make it sound like it's the end." He smirked
"It might be!" I exclaimed, stabbing out with an arrow then shooting it.
"I'll never forget you either, besides you still have my watch." He said.
I smiled at him, and then I noticed that everything was being sucked up into this giant mass of darkness. Sky noticed and fought harder, as did I. We both knew the end was coming.
Sky was the first to be lifted. I grabbed his hand and tried to pull him back, but I was lifted too.
Somehow we got separated. He yelled out something, but I couldn't hear it.

I lightly shook my now shortened hair, dislodging any loose or left over bits. I knew tears were streaming down my face again.
"So now you know." I turned toward Axel. "Earth must've been returned to the light, I just hope…." I trailed off and fresh tears spilled over.
I sat down on one of the twin beds next to Axel and he wrapped me in a hug. I don't know how long I cried into his shoulder, but it was long enough for me to fall asleep…..
3rd person POV
Roxas peeked through the door to see Ixchel asleep in Axel's arms and Axel looking… sad?
"She makes me wonder if it's really worth having a heart." Axel said.
"What do you mean?" Roxas asked. He opened the door wider and stepped into the girls' room.
"She's been holding in so much sorrow." Axel looked up at Roxas and told him about what happened to Ixchel.
Roxas opened his mouth to say something when the gummy ship shuddered.
"Did you happen to leave Xion in control of the controls?" Alex asked.
"Crap!" Roxas yelled and ran out of the room.
Axel started to move Ixchel but she only tightened her grip on him, muttering something.
"I guess I'm staying here then." He smirked and leaned back on the headboard.
...
"Holey crap I can't do this!" he yelled, unaccustomed to the quiet.
"Can't do what?" Xion asked, poking her head in the room.
"Stand the quiet." He muttered.
"Now that I think about it, it was never genuinely 'quiet' back in the castle…" Xion trailed off.
Axel's lips twitched up in a smiled as he remembered some extremely odd sounds he had heard over the years.
Xion was just about to ask Axel why he was smiling when Roxas came over the intercom, sounding worried.
"Um, Axel, did you re-fuel the ship before you left?" he asked.
"Shi…..oot." Axel muttered. "Stop at Destiny Islands, we can re-fuel there."
"All right." Roxas sighed, relieved Axel had a solution to the issue, even if it was by his own fault.
So Roxas flew in the direction of Destiny Islands, the drama seemingly over. But when you have 4 teens in a small space, well, earlier was a good example of what happens.
So, that's chapter three. I really have no clue how long I'm going to stretch out the getting there part, because I already have an idea of what's going to happen once they get on earth.
If you review with an idea that you'd like to see happen and if I figure I can fit it in with the plot, I may include it. If it doesn't fit in with the plot, I can make a series of one-shots after this is done.
Ps: my computer went ka-put so I have to use the other computer {which is shared amongst the rest of my family} or my step-dad's lap-top, which is, frankly, crap. It doesn't have internet. I praise the person who invented flash-drives, because without them, all my fics would be dead without it!
