Chapter XXVII

A/N: Hey, so I've recently began a new Kingdom Hearts AU. It's set in college and it's kinda like this story with the multiple pairings and dates. If you like this story, I think you'll like it. It's called Destiny University. I guess I decided to make another story to slow down production of this one. I'm a little sad for this one to eventually end even though I have a sequel planned.


Anyways, remember to comment as I love hearing your opinions.

"A date? What if someone sees us?" Saix asked. You weren't sure if he meant your coats or someone else in the organization seeing you two out together. Was Saix scared to be seen in public with you?


"We're friends, I don't see anything wrong with it." You said. "Have you ever...flown before?" You asked.


"Flying? Don't be childish." Saix scoffed. You rolled your eyes. Maybe flying wasn't such a good idea. There was still a way to get where you wanted that didn't involve flying. Maybe you'd save that feature for another time.


"Okay fine, I promise no flying." You created a dark corridor then turned to Saix. You grabbed his hand and led him through without giving him any time for protest. The two of you walked out of the portal to a familiar scene.


"A clock tower?" Saix asked. You sat down and swung your legs over the side. Saix sat next to you.


"It's a little bit different." The two of you looked up to see a normal moon. "It's kinda nice to remember what a real moon looks like." You said.


The two of you sat and stared at the sky for a while until the clock started to ding. You looked down to see that it was midnight in this world. The two of you let the noise pass until it was silent for a while again. After a whole you stopped looking at the sky and faced Saix. He didn't seem to notice you as he was in deep thought. You stared at his thinking face for a bit longer until he noticed you. He instantly looked away.


"Why..." He started to speak, still facing away from you. "Why Lea?" He asked. "What did you see in him? I was always saving you from his constant teasing."


"We were kids...I was dumb." You said. "I guess I liked him teasing me. As we grew older I never thought anything would be possible. I figured I'd grow to be the cute little old synthesis lady with stories of love that never was." You smiled a little at the thought. You wondered if you'd ever grow old as you were now. Even if you became whole again, would you age?


"[Y/N]." Saix suddenly took your hands in his. He squeezed them for a second. "Will you help me find the girl?" He asked.


"How could I? I don't even know what she looks like." You said. Saix shook his head.


"Help me find out what happened. We need to rise in the ranks. We'll be told more secrets and allowed to see more reports." Your eyes shifted away from his gaze.


"Rising means...defeating someone above us. All that's left is Xaldin and Xigbar." You winced at the thought of making another member disappear. "That's...wrong." You said.


"We don't have to defeat them, [Y/N]. Allow the keyblades of light to do their job." Saix said. You looked back up to him with an unsure face.


"As long as I don't have to hurt another Nobody. We're all here for the same thing."


"Are you sure about that?" Saix questioned you. "Do you want to be whole again, [Y/N]?"


"I don't feel much of a difference in this form if I'm being truly honest." You looked back up to the moon then let go of his hands. "It took for me to become a Nobody to find who I truly am." Saix opened his mouth but no words came out. "I had to die to realize how much you mean to me." You leaned your head against his shoulder. You sighed as he began to run his fingers through your hair.


"Nothing will change when we're whole." Saix said. "I'll still love you the same."


"Jeez, thanks. Nice to know what you won't love me more when you get your heart back." You teased. You felt Saix smile as he brought his lips to the top of your head to give a kiss. "We should go back. We have jobs to do."


Saix nodded as he stood up then lent you a hand. You took it and stood up. The two of you walked through the dark corridor that Saix made. In the portal you made a detour that would take you to your room. Saix turned in the opposite direction to return to his quarters. You left each other without saying a proper goodbye. When you got back to your room, you saw a familiar scene before you.


"Roxas? This is my room. Did you get mixed up again?" You asked. His face was turned away from you. You didn't get a reaction from him. "Hey, Roxas." You said as you put a hand on his shoulder. He slowly turned his face to you. He looked terrible. "Whoa, what's wrong?" You sat down next to him on your bed.


"Xion...left." Roxas said. "She disappeared. No one can find her." He explained.


"That's not true." Roxas looked up at you. "I haven't tried looking for her yet." Roxas tried to smile, but it immediately went back into a sulk.


"Are we...the bad guys?" Roxas asked. You thought back to the story of the girl that Saix and Axel were trying to find. Xemnas as a Somebody sounded like a horrible person. It was a little sketchy that he would suddenly be so helpful and try to find a way for us to all be whole again. He was using the keyblade to do this.


"Do you really think that Axel and I are bad guys?" You asked. Roxas shook his head. You wrapped your arms around him, expecting him to cry. "We'll find her, Roxas. She's important."


"She's our friend." Roxas said. You looked down at his face before he buried it into your shoulder. You began to wonder why Ventus and Roxas looked so similar. Roxas real name was Sora. Why does he look like Ventus, and not whatever Sora looks like? You began to ponder the face of Sora and wondered if Sora looked like Ventus. The time wouldn't make sense. Ventus or Roxas, they were both your friends.


"Yeah, she's our friend."

"Axel." You called as you caught him walking in the halls. He stopped in his tracks, but didn't turn around.


"[Y/N]. I feel you've been ignoring me." Axel said. You walked past him to be able to look him in the face.


"I've been busy. I'm being wrung out. Boss man really is taking advantage of the keyblade." You explained. Axel sighed.


"Sure. What's up?" He asked.


"You've seen Sora before. In Castle Oblivion. What does he look like? Ventus? Why does Roxas look like Ventus?" You came at him with a ton of questions. Axel put up his hands in defense.


"Whoa, whoa, whoa. One at a time. There's enough of me to go around." You rolled your eyes. "I have no idea, [Y/N]. Roxas doesn't look anything like Sora." Axel explained.


"How could that be? A Nobody that doesn't look like their Somebody." You became more confused than before. You wished that you had the answer for the dilemma.


"He's not the only one. There's another girl known to the organization that looks nothing like her Somebody." Axel said.


"What's her name?" You asked. Axel shook his head.


"Can't say. Check the reports." Axel smirked. You rubbed your temples. "Ah? Can't handle being fourth in charge?" Axel teased. You lightly punched his arm.


"I have to be able to handle it." You said confidently. "Matter of fact...as your superior I command you to tell me the girl's name."


"Letting the power get to your head, eh?" Axel tasseled your hair. "Fine, but only since you're head over heels for me." You crossed your arms. "Her name is Namine. Her Somebody is Kairi. It's another one of those things that you can't tell Roxas about." Axel explained.


"Why are we keeping so much from him?"


"You heard about Xion, right?" You nodded your head. "We need their trust or they'll leave the organization."


"Why am I so different for?"


"Roxas came to us, keyblade in hand. Xion was made to wield her own. We never thought that you could too." Axel used his fingers to count the three keyblade wielders in the organization.


"I have no reason to turn on the organization. Staying here helps my friends. It helps you and Isa. You two mean everything to me. Turning on the organization would be turning on you two." You explained.


"What would we do without you, [Y/N]?" Axel chuckled.


"Pretty sure you'd still stalk me and my shop." Axel's eyes widened.


"How did you...?" His mouth was left agape as he became lost in his own words.


"Lucky guess." You lightly punched Axel's arm then started to walk away. "I'll see you around?" You said. Axel nodded. "And don't worry, I know you're close to Xion. I'll try to find her."


"Don't try too hard for me now." You continued to walk down the hall.


"But you'd be helpless without me looking too, right?" You shouted back at him. The last thing you could hear was his chuckle as you rounded the corner. You created a dark corridor to your room where you then collapsed on your bed.


'Do they...both think that we're dating?'
