I am a lazy son of a bitch... even though I'm female...

Anyway... reviewers, thanks. Three things that pretty much cover all the reviews I got: It makes me so happy that no one was expecting Sephiroth to be Roxas' uncle :P, also, there's a very good reason Roxas was never told about his uncle, and finally, my plotting never ends. Never. The things I have written out for these people, and the things I have planned are absolutely... well, :) Oh, and I think I wrap everything up quite nicely.

So, this is only being posted because I feel bad for leaving you guys with a cliff hanger... I'm still on an internet break... I'm getting a lot of writing done though :D Kinda... :D

Because I'm a lazy person, I'm not going to say anything else... maybe at the end, but...

As always, enjoy, review, and thanks for reading!

Full Chapter Title: Families are like fudge: mostly sweet with a few nuts mixed in

"Anyway, I haven't seen my precious little brother in a long time, and I really miss him. Would you kindly take me to your house so I could talk to him again?"

Ven and I were completely silent. Not only did this guy know my name, first and last, but he also declared that he was my uncle, Dad's brother, and he wanted to talk to his little brother. It was like someone was playing an April Fool's joke on me, only it wasn't April.

And this wasn't something to joke about.

"You're nuts," I finally said. "I don't have an uncle, and there's no way in hell I'm going to take you to my dad. See ya."

Not caring that Terra would probably kill me for not waiting for him, I pushed away from the wall I had been leaning against and began to stalk off. Ven called out after me, but really, I was in no mood to deal with anyone. I'd just found out that my parents had lied to me for my whole life.

I doubted my father would keep any more secrets from me.

"So, did Tifa tell you how she was such a wimp and ran away from life when it became difficult?"

I froze.

Either he was some kind of stalker, or, he was actually telling the truth. In which case, my parents lied to me. About another thing.

"What the hell are you talking about?" The guy, Sephiroth, was smiling very widely, almost like he was glaring at me in a very nasty way.

"Tifa. Your mother. Did she tell you how when she was eighteen, and graduated from high school, she took off from our house and didn't tell anyone where she was going? How about earlier, how her parents were killed in a mugging, quite near here, actually? Did she tell you that her family became a group of pathetic losers in Hallow Bastion?" He probably could have continued talking, but every question he asked just pissed me off.

"Shut up," I hissed. "What are you trying to prove?"

"That I am, indeed, your uncle, Roxas."

This couldn't be possible.

"Um, Roxas?" Ven ventured. I'd completely forgotten he was there... "What's going on?" I didn't know what was going on. But I wanted to know. Only way to figure it out.

"Fine. Whatever. If you want to see my father, then just come with me. But don't expect anything to happen." I turned to walk away, calling out to Ven, "Tell Terra if he comes looking for me, I'll get him arrested for stalking." That would keep the freak from bugging the hell out of me.

Now, I just needed to find out what was going on with my father...

"Axel, remind me never to trust my parents again."

"Oh? What's going on now? And why the hell are you whispering?"

"Because this guy who claims he's my uncle is right here."

"You have an uncle? I thought-"

"Note why I said 'claims.' I don't actually know if he's related to me, but just to make sure I'm taking him to my house so he can talk to my dad. That's what he says he wants to do."

"You do realize that he's probably going to murder your father."

"... no he's not."

"Uh huh. I'm going to be there-"

"No. You're. Not."

"Why?"

"My life, my issues. No need for you to get involved."

"You just want me to sit back while a potential psychopath is in your house?"

"Yes."

"... I'm not happy about this."

"I'm not expecting you to be."

"Fine."

"Fine."

"Roxas?"

"What?"

"I love you."

"... I love you too."

I knew Dad was going to be home. He was always home on Sundays, even if my mom wasn't. Despite the fact that I myself hadn't been to that house since I'd talked to Mom a few days ago, I was one hundred percent certain that he would be there.

And I hoped we would run into him soon, because Sephiroth was creeping me out. Really creeping me out.

Remembering Axel's warnings that he could be some kind of freak, I kept as far away from him as possible. It was hard, let me tell you. That guy was completely obsessed with staying near me, talking to me, asking me questions... it was like he was trying to learn as much as possible to use as black mail or something.

"This place is so much smaller than the house Cloud and I grew up in," the guy said, smirking up at the two story house I lived in. "Looks like he wasn't kidding when he said he wanted to live in a non-extravagant place."

I just ignored him.

"You know, Roxas, you're not a very nice person."

"Shut up."

"Oh? You have a tongue to you? How unlike your parents."

"Whatever."

"Who were you talking to earlier?" Sephiroth was being way too nosy for my liking. He wanted to know too much about me, and my parents. I once again began doubting that he was actually my dad's brother, because otherwise he would know things about him. The way he talked, it was like he hadn't talked to Dad in... well, a long time. Longer than I've been alive.

"None of your business," I answered after a moment of considering whether or not to tell him. It would certainly freak him out a bit.

He didn't press the issue, though, so I didn't say anything else. That is, until we walked into the house.

"Stay here," I told him. The guy just nodded, and leaned against the wall leading to the living room, watching me expectantly. I'd only brought him slightly into the house, away from the front door, but not too far in.

With a sigh, I headed up to the top floor, to my dad's study, where I assumed he was. I was right.

"Did you decide to give up on moving out for a little while?"

How the hell he knew it was me was somewhat of a mystery. I didn't make a single sound when I walked into the room, so there was no possible way he could know that someone had just walked into his office, much less me. Maybe he was psychic. This whole ordeal really made me wish that I could do creepy ESP-er things...

"No..." I muttered hesitantly. "Some guy came up to me and Ven-"

"Ven? Who's Ven? I would have thought you would be with Mr. Lea."

Right, Dad probably knew nothing about Ellie or her "friends" from high school. "Ven is a kid who's friends, or, was friends, with Ellie when she was in high school. He and his other friend, Terra, ran into me and Axel, who I was with in Downtown Radiant Garden, and I pretty much got... um... abducted."

Dad turned around in his chair and gave me a look of utter disbelief.

"It's true!" I protested, feeling my face flush. Dad was such a weirdo. "But anyway. This guy came up to us and said he wanted to talk to you, so I brought him here-"

"You have no street sense, Roxas."

Wonderful. My father just had to make fun of me when I was already in a bad mood from being with that creepy ass guy.

"Well sorry," I muttered. Dad sighed but said nothing else, and he stood, shaking his head sadly. Without saying anything, the two of us headed downstairs, I was wishing this wasn't happening. I mean, seriously. This wasn't fun at all. My wonderful day with Axel turned into some kind of messed up crisis. Getting stuck with Ven and Terra wasn't nearly as bad as this.

These thoughts got even more serious when I saw what happened with my dad and the weird ass messed up guy.

Dad freaked.

"What the hell are you doing here," he hissed as soon as he saw Sephiroth. "I clearly told you never to come near me again."

Yeah... more lies from my parents.

Wonderful.

"Oh little brother. Surely after thirty years you could learn to forgive-"

"Get the hell out of my house!" I was completely surprised by the fact my father raised his voice. He actually yelled. I began to think there was a reason I didn't know about this, "uncle" of mine. Well, there was definitely a reason. I just decided it was a good reason as soon as I heard my father yell at the guy.

"Um... Dad?" I asked, voice quiet.

"Get out of here, Roxas. This guy-" Dad started to say, but before he could finish, the guy interrupted him.

"Isn't dangerous at all! I'm just here to say hello to my wonderful only living relative," Sephiroth said. There was something about the way he said that sent shivers down my spine. It was creepy as all hell. "After our parents died, and you denied my existence, I became so, lonely."

Before I knew what was happening, Sephiroth had grabbed my arm, and pulled me towards the door.

"Hey!" I protested, struggling against his grip, but it tightened painfully. "Let go of me!" It was obvious that I was in pain, but he just ignored me, instead, his eyes on my father who looked like he was going to commit murder.

"How's Tifa? I was surprised to find out the two of you had gotten married. After all, she did hate you when we were younger." Again, his voice was creepy, almost malicious.

"It's none of your business," Dad hissed. I noticed his hand shaking. The rage of seeing this guy again seemed to be too much for him, especially since the guy was practically holding me hostage. Or, that's what it seems like to me.

"Oh? Touchy on the subject of your wife, are we?" The guy laughed, then released my hand, shoving me to the side. "Always been in love with her... Is she as good for you as she was for me?"

Silence. Complete and utter silence followed that statement.

I was so confused. Did this guy mean he'd slept with my mother? Why the hell would he do that if his little brother had been in love with her? Suddenly, the one thing Mom didn't really talk about when she told me her story made sense.

The fact that she blamed Dad for something... for not stopping the bad thing that had happened to her... it all clicked with what was going on here.

This guy had... raped Mom.

Just as I came to this realization, Sephiroth muttered something else, something I missed, and Dad just snapped.

"Get the fuck out of my house before I call the police!" I think his voice was the loudest I'd ever heard it before. It was terrifying. Horribly terrifying and vicious. When Sephiroth didn't move from his spot, Dad did. And it looked like he was going to hurt his brother.

I wanted to stop him, I really did, but I was completely frozen. Fear, maybe, kept me from moving.

"Cloud, wait!"

Then Mom was there, standing in front of Dad, keeping him from hurting Sephiroth. If he could, anyway. I didn't know how well Dad could fight.

"Why, hello there, Tifa," Sephiroth said in a cold, chilling voice. Mom flinched when he said her name, and she glanced back over her shoulder, eyes wide. I knew then that my theory was right. This guy obviously did things to her when she was younger, and Dad did nothing to stop it.

Damn.

"Aw, are you still afraid of me?"

Mom looked back at my dad, her head bent slightly before pushing Dad into another section of the house. I could hear him protesting, then her shushing him, but then I was left all alone with this freak of nature. Who molested my mom. And started giving me funny looks once my parents were out of the room.

"Well, that was fun," he said. "You looked shocked, Roxas. Did Tifa not tell you anything?"

"She told me a lot. You were never mentioned," I managed to mutter.

"Of course she wouldn't tell you about me." He smirked. "Cloud still hates me for everything I did to those two." Both of them? "I was hoping that after a few years, he could start to forgive me, as our parents were never able to, but I see he can't."

"What the hell did you do to my parents?" I was scared of the answer, mainly because I felt I already knew the answer. However, I needed to hear it from this guy. "Why haven't you been able to visit my parents, and why is Mom so afraid of you?"

"Oh, you already know, Roxas."

"No I don't."

"Yes you do," he said, taking a step towards me. "You know perfectly well that the reason your father, my precious little brother, kicked me out of the house." Another step. "You're not an idiot, Roxas. You can probably imagine the things I did to your parents, even though your mom has no idea what I did to Cloud. Can't you?" Step. "Surely you can imagine the things I desperately want to do to you."

Man, you have no idea how much I wished I wasn't trapped against the wall. He kept walking closer to me, his eyes gleaming, and I briefly wondered why the hell my parents would leave me alone in the same room as this... uh... I don't even know how to describe this guy. Maybe they were convinced since he did nothing to me on the way here... But that would be too rational. Dad was pissed, Mom was terrified, and she didn't even know... Plus, they knew I couldn't defend myself. They both knew that I was pathetic and couldn't fight to save my life, no matter how much I tried to learn. Five and a half years of karate did nothing for me. I guess I just didn't have the brain to fight people off, and now I was going to be-

"Touch him, and you're going to regret living."

Immediately, the hand that was closing in on me withdrew. I still couldn't breath, though, and as I turned to see who my savior was, my vision blurred. Still, I could make out the basic outline of Axel, who's arms were crossed. I slid to the floor and tried not to begin hyperventilating.

"Who are you?" I heard Sephiroth ask.

"Not someone you need to know about." Someone grabbed my arm, and I figured it was Axel. The hand was too warm to be my messed up uncle. "Come on, Roxas," he muttered, holding me up.

"Axel? What are you doing here?"

Mom was the one talking. I looked over at her. She was really pale, and her eyes were wide as she glanced at Sephiroth, but she was calm. I didn't see my father at all. Most likely, Mom had told him to stay back. It was weird. Normally he's the calm one...

"I got a bad feeling and came to see how Roxie was doing. Now, we're leaving." He pulled me along like I was some kind of rag doll. "I suggest you get this creep the hell out of here," was the last thing he said to my mother before we were outside.

"I told you-" I managed to mutter, pulling away.

"I got this weird vibe," Axel said, smiling down at me. Damn, I love the way he smiles. "I couldn't help but come see if there was something up. I'm glad I did too." It was too much for me. I had to hug him.

"Thank you. I thought... I didn't know what was going to happen to me."

"I figured." He paused a moment, then asked, "So, what exactly was going on when I showed up? You looked absolutely terrified, like he was going to do something to you."

What could I say? That he was probably going to... uh... do things to me? Though, I had a feeling he actually wouldn't have done anything because my parents were in the room next to us. But who knows. If Axel hadn't come, who knows what would have happened to me. Kidnapped, maybe.

"Roxas, it's okay now," Axel's soothing voice said. "You're going to be okay."

"Yeah, I know."

"Do you?"

I couldn't answer him.

Did I know? That guy was so creepy, and after I learned what he did to my parents...

Was I okay?

"You know what?" I exclaimed, throwing my pencil down on the table. "I fucking give up. Give up, give up, give up!" Letting out a frustrated groan, I leaned my head on the table, ignoring the chuckle from Axel and Sora. "You two can figure out where I'm going to live, because I. Am. Done!"

I knew Sora and Axel were exchanging amused glances. It was really annoying. Despite the fact that it'd been a week since I'd almost been sexually assaulted (or, I thought I was going to be) by my uncle, the two of them were being frustrating sons of bitches.

"Fine, Roxie, I'll take over," Axel said in that annoying cocky voice of his. "Sora, you can go hang out with Kairi now. The fun's over."

"Aw, that's not cool," Sora laughed. "Oh well. See you guys later." I grunted. My way of saying 'have fun,' and the two guys with me laughed again. Angered me slightly... Actually, a lot.

I heard Sora leave the apartment, then Axel lean down next to me.

"So, you don't care where you live?" He whispered.

"Nope. I just want out of here and my house."

"Hm... okay." I looked up, completely hopeful. "But first," oh shit, "I want to have some fun."

For my beta's sake, they're going to be playing Monopoly :P

Also, Roxas is an idiot. Why is he so stupid? -_-

Hm... oh well. See ya guys sometime in the next two weeks or something like that.
