She wasn't very far from where Roxas and Joe lived right now; she was scared that if she left, they wouldn't be there when she got back. Like one of her bad dreams where no one ever saw her. She didn't know what to make of everything. It was all too confusing right now, with the Organization members around, and Riku was here, and then someone who was like her, except he looked like a young Riku ( ... )

No. No, it wasn't Roxas. It was a small girl, her face delicate--what he could see of it under the hood, anyway. Why had he ever thought differently?

Pain was like knives stabbing into his skull. If he hadn't known better, he'd have thought it was some kind of attack. But it was just her there, a strange girl wearing an Organization cloak. A girl in a coat, in the shadows, someone like Roxas, the same-- Axel groaned suddenly and clutched his head with both hands, almost falling to his knees from the force of the throbbing, piercing ache in his head and the questions slamming through his mind like bullet trains. He felt the kitten stir in his hood with a sleepy mrow?, surprised by all the jostling about.

"What are you doing to me?"

She said his name. She knew him?

"Who are you?"

Oh no. She didn't mean to hurt him, like she had hurt Roxas when he first talked to her. She didn't know everything that happened, but Joe had been worried. She wasn't sure if she should go help, to do something, or if it would make it worse. But on instinct she was already running to him.

"No! I'm not doing anything, Axel!" She came to a stop before him, a hand to reach out in case he fell to his knees. She had forgotten how tall he was compared to her, though, and she bit her lip.

"I'm. I'm Xion! I don't want to hurt you, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" She was shaking, eyes searching his. How was she supposed to know that he didn't see her?

Xion...

His legs gave out, and Axel fell to his knees, clutching at his head. It was so painful. Even more so with her standing right in front of him. It wasn't just the physical headache...he felt assaulted by desperation, regret, guilt. All the things he wasn't supposed to feel, that had plagued him nonetheless when Roxas had been gone, especially when he'd been with Sora. They were as true and painful as they had ever been when the Keyblade master had been near.

Bewildered, Axel looked up at her. This time, he could see her face, her black hair, her blue eyes. Eyes like Roxas's, or Kairi's...eyes like Sora's.

"Xion?"
