Only 4 months this time XD I think O_o Neither of us has been very interested in Kingdom Hearts lately, other fandoms have taken over our minds, so we've been unmotivated to write it. But suddenly KH is taking over again for us...Especially for me, I dragged out all my games/books/necklaces and I've been sobbing internally for a few days over how much I want a 3DS for KH3D (NEED THAT GAME SOOOOO MUCH.) Hopefully more chapters will come since this is fun to write again! XD (Also, some of this chapter is a bit different from others, or maybe not quite what you're expecting, let me just say it won't be like this all the time. I just hope your're not disappointed in it is all.) Anyway, enjoy! (I don't know why the chapter's name is this, it was what kick wrote when she sent it to me.)

The next night, everyone was in their sweet hotel rooms, while Axel was thinking over what Saix had said, who was actually staying over at Xemnas'. Demyx was lounging alone on the couch with a piece of beef jerky in his mouth.

"Do you believe in magic …" Demyx sang quietly to himself; though it sounded muffled because of the jerky.

After watching 15 episodes of Big bang theory, Axel finally came out of his room, singing the lyrics "burn all those Empires…" He noticed Demyx on the Couch and plopped himself next to the bored water mage.

"Hey what are you watching?"

Demyx lazily glanced at Axel then turned his head back to the screen.

"I'm watching…" Demyx's mind suddenly blanked out because the commercials came on. Demyx answered "Hell I don't know what I'm watching…"

Axel sighed. He was going to get up and grab a pop, but someone knocked on the door. When no one answered Luxord let himself in.

"I was knocking!"

Axel shrugged, "I was too lazy to answer…"

Luxord looked back at the door, then to where Axel was standing.

"That's like 5 bloody feet!"

Demyx yelled from the living area, which was closed off, "WHO WAS THAT AXEL?!"

"IT WAS LUXORD!"

"WELL WHAT DOES HE WANT?"

"I DON'T KNOW!"

Luxord face palmed at the sight of them yelling at each other.

"WELL ASK HIM!"

"I CAN'T WHEN YOU'RE YELLING AT ME, DUMBASS!" Axel quietly thought to himself, 'if you stand close enough to him, you can hear the ocean.'

Axel turned his attention back to Luxord, as he asked him, "So what brings you here to my hell?"

"Well I thought that you guys might want to join me, I'm going drinking with the guys."

"You mean everyone?"

"I was trying to make that sound cool but you ruined it by saying everyone…Though I wouldn't say Marluxia is a guy..." Luxord scratched the back of his head.

"Oh yes… so the guys and Marluxia are going drinking tonight?"

"Yeah wondering if you and twinkle toes wanted to join us?"

"You mean Demyx?"

"For god's sake, YES!"

Axel slowly nodded then turned around.

"DEMYX DO YOU WANT TO GO DRINKING WITH THE GUYS?"

"YOU MEAN EVERYBODY?"

Luxord rolled his eyes and yelled, "ALL THE GUYS AND MARLUXIA!"

There was a short pause before the little footsteps became louder.

"SURE LETS GO DRINKING!" Demyx exclaimed.

Axel covered his ears.

"Damn it…Please stop shouting..."

Demyx giggled before whispering, "oops sorry."

Half an hour later:

Luxord had already left 8 and 9's hotel room to meet up with everyone else.

Demyx was still deciding on which shirt to wear, while Axel was lying in bed, still bothered by what Saix had said. It bothered him so much he had changed his mind.

Axel called out to Demyx from his room.

"Demyx!"

"Yeah?"

Axel paused.

"Uh… I don't think I want to go."

Footsteps immediately came closer to the pyro's room. A head suddenly popped out from the doorway.

"But the guys and Marluxia are going to be there! You're going to miss out on the fun."

Axel sighed as he sat up. As Axel spoke he looked away from Demyx.

"Well I don't feel like going anymore; I have a lot on my mind."

Demyx shrugged.

"It's your loss then… Hey wait do you know where they were going exactly?"

Axel shook his head.

Roxas looked out his window. He too was thinking about things. He looked back at the book, which was on the table. He went back to the book and looked at all the scribbles. The pages within held memories which you could watch.

He looked closer into one, which was dated about one year and two months ago.

FLASHBACK

13 blinked a few times, the world was still blurry and he couldn't feel anything…

He felt numb.

Empty.

Heartless like the Nobody he was.

After he was taken away by this stranger with silvery hair and Orange demonic eyes, he met another stranger.

This stranger had Eyes that could literally engulf you in their twisted flames; they seemed lively, with emotions.

Yet it was all a rouse. That person was just as unfeeling as Roxas.

This stranger was…

Roxas snapped back into reality.

He truly cared for everyone in the organization but he was worried that he would lose that person who was most special to him.

That person was…

Xigbar went with the rest of the guys… And Marluxia walked into the bar that was a few buildings down.

He decided to pretend to tie his shoe and told them to order the drinks without him.

While pretending to tie his shoe, he could see Saix who was laughing at Demyx`s joke. He could see behind that disguise. Xigbar couldn't be happier.

Xaldin ordered a huge glass filled with dark amber liquid.

Vexen looked pleased with his martini.

Demyx was playing with the mixed nuts on the table, while Saix had a coke.

Xemnas started talking to the bar maid and Marluxia was getting hit on by some young lad who shouldn`t have been in the bar in the first place. Zexion and Luxord started striking up a conversation all while Xigbar sat there alone. He then had a devilish smile.

Number 2 then took out a piece of paper, and his pencil in words he wrote:

Let the Unfolding begin.

A book… And not just any book either...That book, the very same one in Roxas's hands had been the book that screwed everything up past the point of no return. Sometimes if he tried really hard, Roxas could seem to remember things that he was sure had never happened. He could remember happier times, crazier times...Different times...Almost like a different reality.

Flashback

'Return us back to the Castle...'

'Make me Superior.'

"Axel and the rest of the children grew up. But they've adapted quickly...Like they've been adults before and it's just naturally come back to them. Is there something I'm forgetting?" Roxas closed his eyes and sighed. He could almost see the foggy memories trapped somewhere deep in his mind. And yet he couldn't access them. "I wish I knew the truth," he muttered to himself as he hit his head against the back of his chair.

"I wish I knew the truth."

"I wish I knew the truth..."

I wish I knew the truth.

When Demyx had agreed to go drinking with the guys and Marluxia, Demyx forgot a very important detail: alcohol didn't particularly like him. Obviously, the rest of the Organization got a bit crazy when they had a few too many, but Demyx had taken that to a whole new level. "IT WAS ONLY TWOOOO SHOTS!" Demyx screamed at Vexen as he swung around on his swivel chair. Vexen was trying to get Demyx to calm down while simultaneously trying to look for Marluxia (who had actually left the bar hours ago with the young lad who shouldn't have been in there in the first place.) Demyx stopped suddenly and started giggling uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Saix looked around the bar nervously. He knew that everyone, with the exception of Larxene and Roxas were going to meet up at the bar. And yet Axel was nowhere to be found. Saix grew more impatient but also worried. Axel liked drinking. Where could he be?

Axel sat alone in his room. Saix's words continued to haunt Axel, though he couldn't figure out their meaning. "What are my intentions?" he said to himself as he flopped down on his bed and stared at the ceiling. "When I was Lea we were- But I'm not Lea anymore, so why does it matter? I'm Axel. My new best friend is..." Axel groaned; he was more confused than ever. What was Roxas to him anyway? Axel had a strange feeling there was more to it than either of them knew. "That's it; I have to talk to Roxas about this..."

I wish I knew the truth.

A sharp pain stabbed through Roxas' brain and he screamed. He clutched his head as he tried to catch his breath for a moment. Then Roxas remembered. He remembered what really happened. Demyx had the book. He caused this. He turned Axel and the others into children and wiped everyone's memory. This world was Demyx's fault.

But there was more...Distant memories came flooding back to Roxas. Memories of Axel.

Him and Axel together, finally.

And then forgetting.

History began to repeat. Things could have been restored.

And then forgetting, again.

Emotion overwhelmed Roxas, that so-called 'fake' emotion that didn't really exist. It felt real. "We were actually together? The only thing I ever wanted, and it was taken away from me. But...If it happened once, could it happen again?" An idea came to Roxas. "Could I change all this back? Do the right thing? But at what cost?" Roxas flipped through to the back of the book. There were only two completely clean, blank pages left. He turned his attention to the writing on the inside back cover. Instructions from Zexion on how to use it. Roxas skimmed through the text, mentally noting bugs that had yet to be worked out of the book, and what to do in case you ever met a version of yourself that claimed to be from the future...Scary... Near the bottom of the page, there was a small note in handwriting. It read:

"Sometimes when you make someone forget something, they remember another thing that they forgot. I haven't fixed this bug yet and I probably never will...Not like I'm ever gonna use this book. Unless an idiot steals it...Then we'd all be doomed. Whatever, this thing will self-destruct on Wednesday the 14th. -Zexion"

"Yeah, today is only like...Way past Wednesday the 14th...Way to go Zexion, you screwed up the self-destruct thing too. Maybe if that had worked, it would have blown up before Demyx could get his hands on it." Roxas didn't stay mad at the failed technology for long though, his mind was soon back on Axel. "I wonder...Does he actually remember us or...That's it, I have to talk to Axel about this."

"FOR THE LAST TIME DEMYX, WE ARE NOT BUYING YOU A ROBOTIC DINOSAUR! IF YOU WANT A PET SO BADLY THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE VEXEN FOR!" A drunken Demyx was being yelled at by Luxord and Zexion who were pretty drunk themselves.

"I DON'T WANT TO HAVE VEXEN AS A PET, I'LL HAVE TO FEED HIM AND CLEAN UP AFTER HIM AND BATHE HIM AN-"

"WE MEANT HE COULD MAKE YOU A PET YOU MORON. VEXEN IS ALREADY MARLUXIA'S PET!" Zexion screamed. Zexion unfortunately knew that Marluxia had indeed purchased a collar and leash for Vexen...Details of Friday happened to escape Marluxia's lips quite often, and more often than not, Zexion was the one hearing them.

In one corner of the bar Saix carefully left before anyone could notice he was gone.

Meanwhile, Xigbar was tearing apart the castle without having to leave the comfort of the bar. Towels and clothes unfolded, and frilly dresses screamed in agony as they magically burned. But Xigbar had another plan. A better plan. And it was almost time to use it. He just had to wait a little while longer. "That's right; The Cat's Eye is back!"

After trying to decide for a while, Axel finally made up his mind and decided to talk to Roxas. He was just about to make a portal to the castle when he heard a knock on his door. "Yes?" Axel asked. The door opened and Saix appeared.

'You just don't know what your intentions are yet...'

Axel gulped as he remembered Saix's words. "What did you mean the other day?" Axel blurted out. Saix sighed.

"Remember when we were human?" Axel nodded as Saix continued. "We were best friends, and...Maybe more?" Axel felt himself blush.

"No, we weren't." It wasn't a lie. But it wasn't quite the truth.

"You meant the world to me Lea. I-"

"I'm not Lea anymore!" Axel interrupted. "And you're not Isa. I'm Axel now, get it memorized! Axel! And lately, Roxas is the most important person to me. We can still be friends Saix, but we're not the same people."

"You mentioned Roxas?"

"Yes? What about him?"

Saix chuckled. "Do you know why you have such feelings for him?"

"I-I'm not sure why," Axel replied.

"He's making you."

"What do you mean!"

Another chuckle. "That reality changing book he has. He's only making you think you like him for his own selfish reasons. Maybe I did send you that note to meet you in the 7th hall, but I couldn't tell you because he was watching."

"That can't be true...Can it?" Axel paced back and forth, wondering. It would make sense, wouldn't it? Why Axel always had some strange, random attraction to XIII? The power did go to the boy's head. Axel had a sinking feeling as he came to terms with the truth. "Thank you VII," he said after a minute. "I still need to talk to you, so could you wait here while I take care of something?"

"Certainly," Saix replied. He grinned evilly as Axel left.

Roxas portaled to the kitchen, hoping to find out where that strange author conference was. He didn't want to use up all the paper in the book, so he only used it when COMPLETELY necessary. He checked the note pad on the fridge when he heard a voice calling his name.

"Roxas? Roxas? You here?"

'Axel!' Roxas' physical heart started to pound and he could swear he felt an emotional one as he ran towards Axel's voice. "Axel?" Roxas called. He saw a flash of red and the two met up in the hall.

"I have to talk to you." They both said at once. Axel started first.

"I know what you've done, Roxas," he said. He looked hurt. "I can't believe it."

"You mean you know about..." 'Us.' Roxas couldn't finish the sentence. Axel looked mad, but why?

"Yeah, I found out, unlucky for you! Dammit Roxas, I thought we were friends!"

"We are!" Roxas replied. "I just thought...Couldn't we be more?" Roxas' memory flashed back to his room, on that day. Warm memories. A smiling face. A soft kiss. Roxas could feel tears welling up in his eyes.

"You tried to control me Roxas," Axel whispered, too quietly for Roxas to hear. "No matter which way you look at it, that can never be love!" he shouted.

"Axel?" A single tear fell and slid slowly down Roxas' cheek.

"I don't want to hear anymore. The Roxas I know is long gone." Axel opened a portal and disappeared without another word.

"Axel, why do you hate me?" Roxas whispered to himself.

O_o What a misunderstanding...And the reason I thought you might be disappointed is because most of it is so serious and maybe you came here for 100% pure crack...I mean, we put seriousness in from time to time, but a lot of serious stuff is happening lately and we needed to get this out. It's still crack I swear on crystal light! The characters have developed minds of their own, they do what they want and all we can do is write down what they tell us to.

Please don't hate me for making you wait so long for this XD
