Legacy of a Star Child

Chapter 6: Tarot Readings and Wishing Stars

"That's one isn't it! A shooting star!"

"Mmhm! They say, that if you wish on one with all your heart, it will come true. Even the impossible is possible if you believe."

"Do you think, if we wished hard enough, they'll love me? Just as much as they love you?"

"I don't know. I don't know if shooting stars can change how people feel. I feel like it would be wrong kind of, it would change who they are without asking them."

"I guess you are right. Would you love me if I wished on a shooting star, even if its wrong?"

"Silly, I already love you, just for who you are. Nothing will ever change that."

-A month had passed since Roxas's arrival at Organization 13, and things appeared to be going just a bit better for the boy. He had gotten to meet everyone whom lived in the castle, gone on missions with each of them, and even seemed to be slowly making friends with his superior officer named Axel. The boy was presently in the company of his loyal follower Samurai, well the one whom that had been there through his tedious time as a low cognitive half vegetable. He had come to realize at some point, that they were a woman, which baffled him since, the only woman so far he had ever met was Larxene, and she terrified the shit out of him. He was tempted to ask Axel about women, and why they were different, if all were as angry as Larxene, etc, but he didn't know how to bring it up. Besides, Samurai was good to him, he was attempting to find a name for her, so that he didn't just keep calling her "Samurai".-

So um... do you um... do you have a name? Did superior give you one?

-It had dawned on him, he had never tried to talk to her. Honestly, he only knew she was a female due to her mannerisms. No man would be caught dead trying to wipe his face if a speck were on it from breakfast, or the few times he came in and she had laid out his clothes for the day... she acted like... His brow furrowed, there was a word for that, he just couldn't... remember.-

No, and I do not remember what my named used to be. Is our arrangement not acceptable? Leader?

-Roxas stopped, his blood ran cold, startled, she talked! She... she talked... and she really was a woman. He quite confused on how to respond to that. Leader? He didn't view himself as a leader really, he just did what people told him to.-

I...Um... I don't know? There's just a lot of you all, but, your different. I know when its you, and sometimes the others just get confused.

-The Samurai nobody stood there and contemplated for a long moment, before nodding to themselves.-

Acer. Call me Acer, Leader.

-Roxas's nose wrinkled.-

Can you stop calling me that? Its really weird, just call me Roxas. Also... what's up with you um... you know, you just do really strange things, like wipe my face, and put out my clothes in the morning, also have you been doing my laundry?

-The samurai scratched the back of its head some, before murmering softly.-

I'm sorry Le--Roxas, Roxas I am sorry. I'll stop if you want me to. You just... When ever I look at you, you remind me that I have a son.

-Roxas blinked, he then frowned, he felt a tightness in his chest, it was strange, and he didn't like it. It hurt.-

What was his name?

-Acers expressionless squarish face seemed to sag, much like a frown.-

That's the problem, I don't remember what his name is. I don't remember a lot about my old life. But I know I have a son, and I am going to find him someday, hopefully, I am not too late, where ever he is. Again, I apologize um...Roxas.
