Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Day 117-119

(117)

Xengal laid in bed, relaxing. She closed her eyes and smiled a bit.

She sat up quickly when she heard the door. She looked over, seeing Saix. "Isa. What's up?" She got off her bed. "You and Axel will be going back to Castle Oblivion." "The Chamber, right? You can count on us, Isa." She smiled at him.

He stared at her, "how much do you remember?" "Meeting you guys with Ven. Roxas remembered his name. Lea doesn't like being called that though, so we stick with Axel. Bullax says Roxas, too, so I'm the only one who uses our real names." He turned around, "I see. You're off today, so you can relax until Axel gets back." He walked towards the door. "Isa? Would you like to stay?" He stopped and looked back at her.

"You're never with us, so why not spend time with me? We're friends after all. Aren't we?" He closed his eyes then went to her. He sat with her on the bed. "You hang around them too much." "You're alone too much. We need a day for the four of us. You, Lea, Ven, and I. We need to hang out like in the past." "I'll try to consider it." She smiled happily.

Bullax and Axel went to Twilight Town for their mission. They fought Heartless until they met the criteria.

They got to the Clocktower and sat down with their ice cream.

She took a bite then turned. "Roxas and Xengal are late today." "Xengal had the day off. She's probably in her room. Roxas though, hope Xigbar ain't giving him too hard of a time." She looked at him, "yeah. Right?" She looked down. "You know what, Axel?" "Hmm?" "When I'm with you guys, just talking, I feel like I had talked to others like this before. When I look at the sea, it's the same feeling." She got out a seashell. "So you mean that... you have memories of your past?"

"No... no memories... just feelings... which is weird, since we don't have hearts. I want to remember who I used to talk to..."

Xengal smiled at Isa as she walked with him.

"What we doing today, Isa?" "Vacation." "I guessed that, but..." "What do you want to do?" "Let's go get some ice cream! I can not be with the others today like yesterday." He chuckled softly then took her off.

/

Bullax stood in place, thinking about what her day today would be like.

"Oh, Bullax!" She turned to him, "Roxas. And plans for your vacation?" "No... none." "I'm probably going to go do something for myself. You enjoy your time off, Roxas." She smiled at him then walked away. He watched her, "ok..."

He left and searched for Xengal, but couldn't find her at all.

"Where is she? Maybe she's with Isa..." He looked down then shook his head. He went off.

/

Isa and Xengal sat at the Clocktower with their ice cream.

"You all come here after every mission?" "Yep. We talk about our day and eat, while we watch the never ending sunset." "I see. You all are very close." "We were kinda close as people, Isa. You should join us all next time." "I'll consider it. No promises though, so don't get your hopes up." "Alright."

They soon finished their treat.

"We should return soon." "Huh? Ok. We can leave now then." She stood up and smiled at him. He got up and took them home.

Bullax came over with her ice cream bar.

"Hey, guys. How did I guess you'd be here?" She sat eith them. Roxas looked at her, "Bulla?" She blinked, "huh?" He shook his head then looked down. "Bulla... sounds familiar." "No wonder. I thought you both looked similar. Bullax, your old self must be Bulla." "Who is she?" "I don't really know... Roxas? You remember anything?" He shook his head, "no. The name just popped into my head, I guess."

She smiled, "Bulla. We must've known each other then, Ven." He chuckled a bit, "too bad Angel hasn't remembered yet." "Oh yeah. She is still remembering her past. I guess we knew each other back then. Axel?" Axel shook his head, "no. I don't think we all knew each other back then. Just wait and ask Xengal." The duo smiled and nodded. "Yeah." "She must know."

They soon were finished.

"Oh yeah... Xengal and I might not see you guys again for awhile." Axel stood up and stretched. "Huh?" "They're sending us out on recon for a few days." "Castle Oblivion again?" "You guessed it right on the dot, Roxas. We're going back there. You both better behave yourselves." "We always do, Axel." "Well, considering your track record, I just can't count on you guys." "Hey!"

He laughed. "We can handle things just fine!" "That's right, just you watch!" The duo laughed.

Bullax sat at the Clocktower, eating her ice cream.

"You're here early." She turned to Roxas, "work qas easy today." "I guess Lea and Angel are still out on that recon mission, huh?" He sat with her and they took a bite of their sweet and salty treat. "So where'd they send you, Ven?" He looked at her, "Beast's Castle with Xaldin. You remember the master, right?" "Yeah. What about him?" "He has something to protect, something he cares about." "Really?" "Yeah, but Xaldin says that's a weakness." "It's not a weakness. It's a strength."

He stared at her, "it is?" "Yeah. We care about each other, so... we're stronger together." "Yeah, you're right. I think Lea and Angel would agree." "Yeah." They stared at the sunset. "I hope Axel and Xengal come home soon."
