Chapter 3: � a Garden

Chapter 3: … a Garden

Axel had to wonder if he was dead. Nobodies faded away right? So he shouldn’t be worrying about if he was dead if he was still there. And yet he had died once already.

He knew he was no longer on that oven of a planet. His skin was cooler, but not cold, so wherever he was had some type of temperature control. And from what he could tell it was moving. Ether that was a bad sign or a good sign. He kept his eyes closed and his breathing as even as possible, he didn’t want whoever was around to know he was awake until he was ready. Axel concentrated on listening. The only sound that came to his ears was a steady gentle beep. A Gummi Ship? That seemed likely. But who’s? If he was back was Xemnas back as well? But they why didn’t he just use a Portal of Darkness? Unless like Axel he couldn’t. He had no intention of returning to the Organization, ever.

Still, it didn’t feel like Xemnas.

It felt like…


Like…


Roxas?

Axel opened his eyes and sat up quickly. His upward moment was stopped suddenly as his head came into contact with someone else’s.

“Owww.” The youth in front of him muttered.

Axel grabbed his head but didn’t reply other then to stair in front of him.

“Sora?” the name fell from his lips surprising him.

The young Keyblade Master smiled at him slightly, “I thought you were awake.”

The red head stared clearly confused, “What where you… wait where’s the kid?”

“Kid?” Sora seemed confused for a second.

“Yeah, Kadaj, he was with me.” Wait why did he care, the kid had been company but not that great. But still…

“Oh he woke up a few minutes ago, he’s with Donald and Goofy on the bridge.” Sora told him, not really seeming to worried.

“Sora do you normally pick up strange people from planets before they get destroyed?” Axel couldn’t help but ask. Sora relaxed him, Sora was Roxas after all, or at least part of Roxas.

“Only when we pick up a distress signal.” Sora told him.

“But we didn’t have anyway to release a signal.” Axel told him confused, “Oh well at least you found us.”

Sora shrugged, “Chip and Dale picked up on something and wanted us to stop. Anyway it was on our way.”

Axel glanced at him, his words catching his ears as he had just been debating finding Kadaj, “Way to where?”

“Sora, we’re here.” Donald’s voice suddenly called via the com link.

“Come on, you’ll just have to find out.” Sora told him, and for the briefest moment he swore he saw Roxas in those eyes. He followed the brown haired teen to the transporter-thing without anymore questions, there would be time after for a shower he hopped.

Kadaj was there waiting for him. The silver haired male clearly didn’t trust the transporter anymore then he trusted his current companions, Axel excluded.

“It’s okay Kadaj, it won’t kill you.” Axel told him, placing his hand on the Remnant’s shoulder. An expression akin to ‘why are you touching me’ raced across Kadaj’s face but it was gone almost before it appeared.

“Step onto it, that’s all.” Sora told him watching the man.

A moment went by Kadaj no closer to moving.

“Like this.” Axel told him, grabbing him and dragging him onto it. Kadaj fought for a second then stopped. “Activate it Sora!”

Someone must have because a green light came out and surrounded the two.

And when the light faded…

“The Radiant Garden.” Axel muttered, releasing Kadaj.

The silvered haired male moved quickly away from Axel, not quite believing he had just been grabbed.

Axel saw his expression, one of utter confusion, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing…”

“What, didn’t anyone ever hug you before?”

Kadaj didn’t answer him. Honestly he couldn’t remember.

“Here.” Axel told him and moved in, wrapping his arms around him, a proper hug this time. Kadaj hesitated a second then responded, wrapping his own arms around the man.

Another man? Kadaj didn’t think about it.

The sound of someone clearing their throat come to their ears and Axel backed away. Kadaj was clearly blushing.

Axel turned to the party of three. Donald had a weird expression on his face and Sora seemed to be almost laughing. Goofy he couldn’t read.

“I should let them know I’m here.” Sora told him, starting up the path from the Crystal Cave to the city proper.

“Who?” Axel asked, Sora seemed amused by the whole thing, but what about Roxas?

“The Restoration Committee.” Sora called over his shoulder. “Leon called and said he wanted to see me about something.”

“Uh ha, and how are they going to be when they see someone from the Organization following you?” Axel asked, referring to his jacket.

“The Organization is gone.” Sora told him, glancing at Axel, “I don’t think they’ll mind to much.”

“If they do?” Axel prodded.

“Then I’ll tell them to give you a second chance. I mean you did help us before.”

Kadaj began to wonder if they had forgotten he was there. Would that be a bad thing? Not really. He didn’t fit here, he didn’t belong here. He knew it.

So why was he here?

Aeris… it had to be her.

Well nothing like blaming a dead chick.

“Kadaj?” he felt a poke in his arm, bringing him back to reality. He brought his eyes up to Axel’s, “We’re here.”

They were standing in front of a building, an average looking building, in an average looking town. Sora entered first then he followed.

He took in the room all at once, computer bank, someone with his back to them working on it, old guy in a blue wizard-type outfit, some guy in a black jacket standing watching the guy work on the computer.

And…

And people he didn’t think he would ever see.

Aeris…

And…

Of all people Cloud Strife.

He looked different, yet the same.

Kadaj took all of this in, in a second. None of them noticed him, they where all to busy greeting Sora.

Axel noticed however, Kadaj’s entire body tensed for a second, then relaxed still ready for battle.

“Oh yeah, and I found Axel and this guy.” Sora told them and to quickly everyone’s eyes were on the Remnant.


*~*

Note:
Aeris refers to FFVII:. AC, Aerith would be the KH version…Why? Simply due the nature of the crossover, and Chryssta is letting me barrow her copy of 7 so I’m biasing the names on that.

Please assume Kadaj is still carrying around his sword… I can’t have him losing that thing yet, there’s still many a fic to be posted with this universe, and Kadaj will need to fight at some point. Assume it’s in the holder thing he uses in AC.

And before I get the first note about Kadaj acting OOC in anyway you need to remember, he’s been used by Jenova/Sephiroth already, lost his bothers, died, came back to life, lost his entire world, and woke up with Axel, that can really make someone think and behave in ways they normally wouldn’t.

AFF.N AN: I would move this to the FF/KH crossover section but I’m not sure how…
