Kingdom Hearts, the Secret Files

Final Frontier

"Yeah remember those kids you wanted me to check on? Tona and Ton-ton?" Roxas whispered to her slowly.

"Oh those two didn't have much to do with me. They were friends with my alive somewhat sister, Kairi. Well, I wanted to make sure they were safe." she started sobbing and laughing together.

"Really? S-so you don't love that guy?" Roxas said smiling.

"No he's just a friend..." Xion wiped her eyes.

"Well then like I was saying- if we don't make it... I just want you to know I love..." Roxas started but found a lump in his throat.

"Ice cream?" Xion looked up at her blurry friend.

"No- I love..." he started again.

"Axel and the boys?" she whispered.

"No! I-I love..." Roxas said getting annoyed at the fact he couldn't say it.

"The beach, the clock tower, the missions, the key blade?" she kept trying to get the words out of him.

"I love you..." he finally spoke as he looked at her shocked face.

"You love me?" she tried to look at him more clearly.

"Yes I have this strong feeling of love for you. I don't have a heart- but you make me feel like I do..." he said and hugged her.

"That's the sweetest thing you've ever said Roxas... And yes I have that same sensation. The same strong feeling for you too..." she whispered and kissed his cheek.

He blushed and tried to kiss her back but a vine crept up behind her.

"R-Roxas!" she gasped out.

The vine lunged at her and sliced its way through their hug.

"NO! XION!" Roxas said and tried to pull her out of the way.

Axel walked up behind Roxas and snatched his little black hood. He felt himself being pulled and tugged away from the one thing he truly loved.

"R-Roxas help me!" she said flailing around and reaching for the back of her neck once she felt something cut into her.

Saix crept behind her and held her hands down with his scary smile still being portrayed across his face.

"You let her go!" Roxas yelled out to Saix, then he stared Axel in his blank, dilated eyes, "And you let me go too!"

Xemnas and the others watched on feeling proud of themselves and not fully understanding what was going on. Finally Xion stopped shaking and her eyes blinked. Roxas couldn't tell if she was crying or just being affected by the poison in the vines, but he knew he'd lost his- girlfriend- mentally. Axel and Saix released their grips and slowly moved behind the mob of the controlled. Gently, Xion migrated with them and Xemnas had them all leave the room, leaving only him and Roxas.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Roxas eased the words from his lips, feeling his throat hurt with emotions.

"Because I'm trying to finish my plans. I could care less what happens to those who are affected by them. My only concern is making sure everything goes the way that I want them to..." Xemnas gently shifted, moving closer to Roxas.

Roxas moved back, he didn't want any vines in his neck, slaps to the face, secrets being hidden, emotions to deal with, or pain what-so-ever. He was beyond tired and just wanted things to go back to normal. Xemnas read his face and stopped moving where he was.

"You probably want to know what these secret files are- well you will very soon." he said with his deep, dark, masculine voice.

"What do you mean? Your plans aren't finished yet?" Roxas shivered with suspense and surprise.
