Deep Conversation
Rixa sat on the Clock Tower, waiting for Axel to get there.She had something to ask him and talk about since she was closest to him out of all the members.She thought about Riku, how fun it was to fight him and his personality.She didn't dislike him at all, thinking he was the kind of cold-hearted person that attacked anyone and destroyed for no reason, but he proved her wrong.She wondered about why he wore the Organization's coat, something that bothered her.He must have been hiding something.I'll interrogate him next time I run into him, she thought.Axel popped up and sat next to her, giving her the usual ice cream popsicle.They stayed there without saying aword, so Rixa broke the silence.
"Axel, I ran into him.", she said, "The impostor that beat Xion."
"What?", he asked, almost dropping his ice cream, "But how did you survive?"
"Do I look like the type to die easily?", she asked, "Anyways, he doesn't seem so bad.He was really nice."
"Well, what did he look like?"
"He wore our same coat, had a blindfold over his eyes, and silver-white hair.He was strong too.Not as strong as me though."
"So it's him..."
"Him?Him who?Riku?"
"You know his name too?"
"Axel...what are you hiding from me?"
"Oh uhm...it's nothing, forget about it."
Rixa smacked his leg, giving him a threathening glare.He knew she wanted to know more and that he would eventually have to break the silence.
"Allright, you win...I saw him at Castle Oblivion."
"YOU WHAT?!?!?"
"Rixa, what happened at Castle Oblivion...I can't tell you everythhing, not yet.I'll tell you what I can.Our mission at Castle Oblivion...involved the keyblade master and Riku.Riku is the keyblade master's friend."
"Keyblade master?You mean like Roxas and Xion?"
"Not exactly, but yes, in a way.His name is...Sora."
"Sora...but that's so close to...ROXAS!"
"Rixa, you see, we may have memories of our past lives...but technically they belong to the person that became a heartless.We are their Nobodies, the shells they left behind.And Roxas is...Sora's Nobody.Please, don't tell him this.I need you to keep it a secret."
"But Axel...Sora...Roxas..."
"Listen, just put it out of your mind, okay?But now that he's appeared..."
"Were Sora and Riku the ones that eliminated the members tationed there?"
"Yes..."
"Poor Zexion..."
Axel refused to say anymore about Castle Oblivion, not telling Rixa that it was he who caused Zexion's elimination.Neither one spoke, keeping the silence going.Roxas and Xion appeared giggling and laughing with one another.They noticed how serious Axel and Rixa were, so they stopped.All four of them sitting and watching the sun set, like a couple of old friends.Rixa had Riku on her mind again, eager to see him again, so she left.Heading toward the castle, she blushed when she remembered his face and replayed their fight.She didn't dare say anything to anyone about this feeling, embarrassed that they'd laugh at her and tell her it wasn't real.But to her, it was the most real thing she'd ever felt besides the comfort she had been in while sensing his aura.
