Chapter Five: Darkness Falls

Roxas had finally returned back to the mansion after taking a detour from Sora's dorm to do a little anger management on an unsuspecting human who had just happened to cross his path at the wrong time. Unfortunately, it had done next to nothing to ease the anger he had towards himself.
Marluxia smirked, arms crossed as he watched the blond stalk down the hall, a rather smug look on his face, "Trouble in paradise?" He asked, his smirk widening when the vampire slowed to a stop before turning to face him.
"...Whatever, not tonight." Roxas replied tiredly.
Before Marluxia could reply, the door they had stopped in front of opened to reveal a platinum blonde physic, "If you two are going to fight, please go outside." Namine said, eying the two vampires, "I don't feel like playing doctor again tonight."
"We're not going to fight." Roxas replied crossly, glancing at the girl, "Even if we were, Marluxia would win anyway." He paused, heaving a deep sigh, "Not really in the mood for much of anything." The vampire was already sure that Namine knew he had upset Sora, if not he'd have to tell her otherwise the girl wouldn't leave him alone until she knew what had depressed him so.
Namine arched an eyebrow, crossing her arms over her chest, but before she could question the blond, Marluxia let out a soft chuckle, "Aw, I don't like winning that way, I'd at least like a struggle." He said, grinning, "Did something happen to your little virgin?"
"I upset him." Roxas snorted, still angry with himself.
The physic sighed deeply, "What'd you do to him?" She groaned, looking at the vampire before she beckoned the boy to follow her into her bedroom as Marluxia continued down the hall, still chuckling under his breath.
"I might have mentioned that I felt little to nothing about that waiting for the right person bit." Roxas replied softly, not sparing Namine a glance. If she didn't know already what he had said to Sora, then looking into his eyes would surely give away the truth.
"Uh-huh?" Namine hummed, nodding her head as she walked over to her desk, sitting at the seat in front of it, "And, what else? I know there's more. You know, you can't hide anything from me, Roxas."
The blond haired vampire sighed deeply before taking a seat on the girl's bed, holding his face in his hands for a moment before looking up at the girl, "And, then maybe I told him I'd go fool around with Marluxia." He replied after a moment, already preparing himself for the verbal lashing he was about to receive.
Namine groaned softly, smacking her hand to her forehead, "What are boys so stupid!" She asked herself before looking at the vampire, "Why must you always be so blunt?!" She asked, glaring at the blond, "Sometimes I could just smack you!"
"You know I don't like to beat 'round the bush or sugar coat things!" Roxas insisted, his voice having reached that whiney quality that was oh so rare, but proof that the vampire had known he had done wrong and sought to fix it.
"None of you do! And, look at where it's gotten you?" Namine replied, her voice bordering on harsh, "You've gotten Sora upset with you. It's obvious he has feelings for you. And, you know you have feelings for him!"
"I know! I know...I have to make it up to him." Roxas replied, frowning deeply as he finally looked up at the girl, "What in the hell should I do?"
"You can start by apologizing for being such an inconsiderate ass to him." Namine replied snappily, "Then maybe actually admit to him that you have feelings for him." The girl paused, rolling her eyes, "Oh, and before I forget, keep little Roxas in your pants...at least until Sora's willing to give it up."
"You're right, Namine." Roxas agreed with a heavy sigh, "As you always are."
Namine nodded, giving the blond a grin as a comfortable silence dawned upon the two, only to be broken minutes later by the physic herself, "You wouldn't have happened to see Axel around lately, hm?"
"No, I haven't." Roxas replied, standing, "How come?"
The physic heaved a sigh, wondering whether or not she should tell the other, "That's really lovely." She whispered, looking out her window for a moment, "He's up to no good." She said, turning to face Roxas, "And, it's about to get worse."

Her anger had cooled off as she walked through the campus, taking the back way to her dorm building, wanting to be alone and out of sight of other people who'd only ask why she looked so utterly...heartbroken.

I can't believe he's gay. The red haired girl thought, frowning deeply as she wrapped her arms around herself. How could I have missed it? She sighed heavily, dropping her arms.
Her and Sora. They were suppose to be high school and now college sweethearts. They were supposed to be together. They were suppose to have a fairy tale happy ending. That's what she and everyone else had believed.
"I...can't believe this." She said softly, holding back the burning tears that threatened to spill.
"I know. It's so hard to believe, isn't it?" A certain red headed vampire said as he walked up to the distraught girl.
Kairi jumped, fear clutching at her heart as she whipped around, "W-who are you?" She demanded, "You scared me!"
"Yes, I do seem to have a tendency to do that." The vampire replied, a smirk appearing on his face, "Though, I can't imagine why. I'm very gentle." He added with a soft chuckle, "I happen to be a friend of Roxas'."
"You mean that...vampire!" The girl had practically spat the word out in all of her disgust, "Are you a monster too?"
"Depends on what you classify as a monster." He replied, grinning broadly, his fangs glistening in the afternoon sunlight. He stepped closer to the girl that was Sora's best friend. To get to Roxas...he must go through Sora...and to get to Sora, well, this girl was critical.
Kairi frowned, taking a step back, "I...should really be getting to my dorm room." She said, giving the vampire a nervous smile before turning to continue on her way.
"Aw, what's the rush?" The fiery red head asked as he grasped the girl's shoulder, pulling her back to him.
"Let go of me! I'll scream!" Kairi blurted out, pulling desperately against the vampire, "Help! Someone, please!"
"Why do they always scream?" The vampire asked, heaving a sigh as he put his hand over the girl's mouth, muffling her screams before he sank his teeth into her neck.
Kairi's eyes widened, the first initial bite causing her to grip her killer inadvertinaly before of the shock of the sharp pain in her neck. Then as he sucked, her world went black.

...This is it...I'm going to die...

When he was sure the girl was dead and wouldn't scream bloody fucking murder, he pulled away allowing the quickly cooling corpse to fall to the ground with a dull thud. A dark chuckle escaped his lips, "Ah, the sweet taste of jealousy." He stated softly before stepping over the girl and disappearing once again.

--- --- ---

It had been a number of days since Sora last saw Kairi and the brunet was growing more and more worried by the day. He sat, curled up on his couch, flipping through the channels until he met with a smiling red haired girl on the t.v. screen.
"Kairi?" He said softly, turning the volume up so he could hear better.

"The body of nineteen year old Ito Kairi was found today on the campus of the local University. Local police officials are still hesitant to admit that this girl was the latest victim in a string of mysterious deaths and disappearances to strike the area..."

"She's...gone?" Sora said softly, his body numb with shock as he the remote fell from his limp hand, "Dead...?"
"A real shame, isn't it? Oh how your heart must ache." Axel's voice crooned from the window that Sora had so carelessly left open. The red head was perched on top of the tree (the very same one Roxas and Marluxia had climbed in, only to be discovered by the Night Watch) across from the open window, his vibrant green eyes watching the news report, "Well, we have something in common now, Sora. We've both lost people dear to us." He said, giving the brunet a seemingly comforting smile as he let himself into the boy's dorm.
"Axel! What are you doing here?" Sora said after jumping at the sound of the vampires voice, his eyes darting to the elder vampire almost immediately.
Axel pouted, a look of mock hurt crossing his features as he approached Sora, "Can't a friend check on a friend after they lost a friend?" He asked innocently.
Sora's eyes narrowed, "You're not a friend."
"Now, now, just because there's bad blood between Roxas and I doesn't mean we still can't be civil." Axel tsked before chuckling softly.
"I thought Roxas told you to stay away from me." Sora replied, giving the vampire a glare.
"Obviously he doesn't care that much or else he'd be here with you know...wouldn't he?" Axel pointed out, his grin widening upon seeing the sadness in Sora's eyes, "You know, Roxas can get awfully jealous."
"What's that suppose to mean?" Sora demanded, his glare returning full force.

�Ouch. Dense, much?� Axel mumbled, scratching his head before speaking up, �Roxas killed Kairi. It�s painfully obvious. I�m surprised you didn�t realize that with how hostile the two were towards each other. Roxas did tell me and Marluxia about meeting Kairi when he returned to the mansion. I just didn�t think he�d go off and do something reckless.�
Sora's mouth feel open in shock. He hadn't even entertained the idea of Roxas killing Kairi. He could feel the tears welling up in his eyes as she shook his head, "No. You're lying. He may have been jealous of Kairi but he'd never kill her." He said, his voice wavering because of the tears, "He wouldn't hurt me like that."

"Jealously doesn't exist to Roxas. He might have been possessive, but never jealous. A trait he picked up from yours truly. He got a lot of things from yours truly." Axel said, a smirk appearing on his face as he leaned over the back of the couch, inches from Sora, "Like the trait of doing anything and everything to get what he wants."
Sora frowned deeply, a single crystal tear slipping down his cheek, "He wouldn't..." He whispered, shaking his head slowly. Roxas wouldn't kill Kairi...right? No matter how jealous...or possessive he might have been. He couldn't have felt that threatened over Kairi, not when Sora had made it clear that he held no romantic interest in the girl what so ever.
"He would...if he knew of Kairi's strong resentment towards him. Roxas told me about her jealously and how she wanted to be in his place..." Axel trailed off, looking down at the quivering brunet who choked back a sob.
"It's not true!" He cried, glaring at the red haired vampire, shaking his head in a most violent fashion causing his spikes to flop around his head. He may have said it wasn't true, but, he wasn't sure if he believed it.
"Who are you going to believe, Sora?" Axel asked, chin in his palm, elbow resting on the back of the couch, "A vampire you met a few days ago?" He paused, leaning closer, lips inches from the brunet's ear, "Or someone who's known him for centuries. Who knows him inside and out. Someone who shaped Roxas into the manipulative, clever vampire he is today?"
"Sora!"
The name was accompanied by loud banging, "Sora, open up!"
"Ah, speak of the devil." Axel said standing, "I'll be taking my leave then."
Sora turned, watched the elder vampire disappear out of his window before his eyes turned to the door.
"Open the door, Sora! Please! I heard about Kairi!"
Sora's eyes widened and his fists clenched, "Go away!" He screamed back.
The loud banging ceased, but only for a moment, "I know I was an asshole a few days ago, but I didn't piss you off that bad! Now open the damn door!"
Sora looked at the door in disbelief before standing, marching to the door before flinging it open, "It's not about that! It's about what you did to Kairi, you bastard! How could you! You know how much she meant to me!"
"Whoa, whoa. Hold on...what do you mean, what I did to Kairi?" The blond vampire asked, holding his hands up in defeat. He paused, eyes widening, "You don't think that I..."
"You killed her! You bastard! You murdered her!" Sora screamed, tears streaming freely down his cheeks, "How could you?!"
Roxas shook his head, grabbing the hysterical boy by the shoulders, pushing him back into his dorm room before kicking the door closed, "Sora, I swear to you that I'm not lying. I didn't kill her. I was with Namine and Marluxia the entire time I was away from you and all they did was remind me of what an ass I was when I said those things to you. I was nowhere near Kairi when she died. I promise."
"That's not what he said!" Sora all but growled, glaring fiercely at the blond. His yelling finally quieted, for now anyway.
"That's not what who said?" Roxas asked, raising an eyebrow, realization slowly dawning on him.
"Axel." Sora replied snappily, "He was just here."

That sorry bastard..."It's not true. Don't believe anything he tells you Sora." Roxas said, shaking his head, looking at the little brunet that had been on his mind ever since that night they met, "I didn't kill Kairi. I would never hurt you like that."

Sora stared at the blond for a moment, he looked like he was about ready to start hyperventilating, �But...he sat right there...� He turned to point out the window, �And, told me that you did! He said, �Who are you going to believe; a vampire you�ve known for a few days of me; who made him into what he is today.��
"I'll tell you this, Axel may have had a hand in shaping me into who I am, but I didn't kill Kairi. I wouldn't stoop that low, and especially when it involves someone I care about." The blond paused, biting his lip for a moment, "Some I...love." He finished, his voice just an octave lower.
Sora's eyes widened as a blush dusted his cheeks, "You...what?" He asked softly, needing the confirmation in hearing it said a second time. All of his doubts about Roxas and his involvement in Kairi's death evaporated.
"I love you." Roxas repeated, "A-and you don't have to believe me or even say it back if you do...:
"You mean it?" Sora asked, taking a step closer to the boy, hope clearly dancing in his eyes as he looked at the other boy, "You're just not saying that, are you?"
"I'm not just saying it. I mean it. Every word of it." Roxas replied softly, finally closing the distance in between him and the little brunet that had wormed his way into his heart, "I love you."
A smiled slowly made it's way onto the brunet's face, the first that day as he looked up at the blond, "I love you too." He returned, his voice just as soft as Roxas leaned into him, pressing their lips together.
