"I'll come back, I promise"
Rixa was slouching on the sofa, unable to make herself stand up and look at Roxas.He was worried that Axel leaving would severely affect her and was trying to make her feel better.Xion was having no effect either and she had given up trying to make Rixa smile.Rixa whimpered quietly and curled up into a fetal position."I don't want him to go...Why does he have to go?", Rixa whispered.Roxas and Xion sat down next to her, Xion on her right and Roxas to her left.They both put their hands on her back and patted it."We don't want him to go either, Rixa.But he has to...", Roxas answered, a hint of sadness in his answer.Xion nodded and added, "If it were up to us, he would stay and have ice cream instead of going to Castle Oblivion."Axel entered the room and saw the three of them on the sofa."Well, I've come to say goodbye to you guys...Behave while I'm gone."Rixa moaned and started crying.She's crying?But Nobodies can't cry..., Axel thought.He walked up to her and held her close to him.He caressed her hair and whispered into her ear, "Lil Sis, I'll be ok."Rixa whimpered again and hugged him tightly.Roxas and Xion joined in the hug and they stayed that way for a while."Xion, Roxas, can you leave Rixa and me alone?", Axel asked.They left them alone and the room was empty, save for Axel and Rixa.Rixa wiped the tears from her face, trying to appear like she hadn't cried, though Axel knew better."I know what happened between you and Xemnas.Saix told me.And Rixa, frankly...I'd stay here if I could.You need someone to look after you.", Axel whispered."I want you to stay, Big Brother.", Rixa blubbered, beginning to cry again.Axel caressed her hair again, feeling each strand between his fingers.He kissed her forehead and hugged her again.''Lil Sis, I'll come back, I promise."Axel smiled at her and Rixa smiled back.She sniffled a bit and stopped crying.She closed her eyes and tried to imagine something."You better come back, Big Brother." "Hey, do I look like I'm gonna die or something?I can take care of myself, Lil Sis.", Axel responded.Rixa stood up and whirled around, her long white hair slapping Axel in the face."You better.Saix is to hand around, unlike you.And who else is gonna make jokes like the ones you make?" Axel grinned and stood next to Rixa, putting his hand on her right shoulder."Yeah, I know.I'll do my best to come back to all three of you, okay?"Rixa smiled up at him and they stared there, staring at one another.Zexion entered the room and saw both of them smiling at one another."Axel, it's time to go.", he said.Axel walked off, waving goodbye to Rixa.Zexion watching him leave, then turned to Rixa."I believe this is farewell, Little Sister." "Yeah...Zexion, you'll come back too, won't you?", Rixa asked, "You're not gonna dissappear or anything?" "Of course not.I'm not foolish to have myself killed or anything like that.", Zexion said, "But for now, you'll just have to survive without me."Rixa hugged Zexion and he hesitated, but hugged her back.He bid her farewell and left her alone in the Grey Area.She watched him leave and turned to look out the window.She stared out the window, wondering about what Castle Oblivion was and decided it was best to leave things be.
