Sora let out a loud noise of frustration. " Sorry, just forget that" He mumbled.

Soon breakfast ended, and Sora's parents said their goodbye, said they'd be back in about a week to two weeks and that Sora was listen to Axel.

"Alright. I'm sorry. No need to get so moody." Riku said, his voice taking on a slight teasing tone. He couldn't help it. It amused him.

"Don't worry. I will." Roxas said, keeping the smile on his face. "Be safe." He didn't want anything to happen to Sora's parents. Even though he barely knows them, he still wants them to be safe.

" You be safe too, listen to Axel" Sora's mother told him. Then they both left. Axel waited till he was sure they were gone. " Alright, what's up, when your mom went to hug you, you flinched away, it's like your someone else" He said.

" Alright, Alright, let's just forget it, alright" He said.

Roxas froze for half-a-second before he relaxed. He put a confused look on his face as he looked at Axel. "I didn't flinch away from her. You're just imagining things." he said, before turning and heading off towards the nearby woods to take a walk.

Riku nodded. "Yeah. Alright." he said, he went back to his spot. "Get in your defensive position. We need to get your lesson done or you'll be late for your next one."

Axel rushed after him," I didn't imagine that. You know you can tell me anything" Axel said.

Sora nodded. " Alright let's go" He said. He was already for this to be over.

Roxas just shook his head. "I don't know what you're talking about." he said, wanting to be left alone.

"Okay. I'm going to hit you. I want you to block." he said, and before giving Sora a chance to respond, he rushed forward quickly and punched him in the chest.

" I think you do" Axel flat out told him.

Sora nodded, he tried to block Riku but it still didn't work out all that well. He flinched when the hit made some contact.

Roxas shook his head. "No. I don't." he said. Why was Axel being so perceptive of him? Is he always like this?

"Try again." Riku said, taking a step to the side before punching Sora in the side.

" Yes you do mister. Tell the truth" He said.

Sora tried again, and finally manged to block Riku. It was about time.

Roxas shook his head again. "There's nothing to tell." he said, speeding up his walking.

"Good." Riku said, smiling lightly. "Now block a kick." He said, sending a kick towards Sora's stomach.

" I disargee," Axel said. He sped up and grabbed Roxas arm. " Tell the truth" He said. He eyes bored into Roxas eyes.

Sora tried to block the kick, but really failed, and fell backwards. " Ow" He mumbled. He couldn't understand how Roxas could do this, he would have to sneak out and ask him.

Roxas narrowed his eyes at Axel. "What do you want me to say?" he asked, attempting to yank his arm away, but failed. He turned his head away so he wasn't looking at him.

"You okay?" Riku asked, going over to him. "I didn't hurt you too bad, did I?" he asked. He crouched down so that he was face-to-face to Sora.

" Well you can either tell me what's wrong or who the hell you are, cause your sure ain't acting like yourself" Axel told him.

Sora coughed slightly," No, I'm fine, sorry, just an off day" He mumbled, he looked away his face gathering more color, this close up, Sora noticed how acctrative Riku is.

Roxas was silent for a second before sighing. "I'm sorry. I'm just not feeling good today. I did't get a lot of sleep last night and I'm tired. And while I was out last night, I fell down and hit my head, so I haven't been thinking right."

Riku frowned lightly. "Alright. Maybe we should stop here." he said. "I think you might be getting sick. You're face keeps getting red." His tone turned worried as he glanced at Sora.

" Why didn't you just say so, why are you running out to the woods then, you should be resting" He said.

" I'm not getting sick. I'm fine" Sora said.

"I don't want to be resting." he said. "I want to take a walk."

Riku was silent for a second. "OK.. If you say so.." he said, not quite believing him.

" Then I'm coming with you" He said. Axel waited for what he knew would be a protest.



" I am really" Sora said. He stood up and dusted his self off.

Roxas shook his head. "I want to go alone." he said, still wanting Axel to let go of his arm.

"Well.. Alright..." Riku said, standing as well. He was silent for a second. "We can stop now, if you want."

" It's not safe, especially if your not feeling well" Axel said.

" Well do I still have time before my next lesson?" Sora asked.

"I'll be fine. I won't go far." Roxas said, pulling at his arm again so Axel would let go.

Riku thought for a second before nodding. "Yeah. Why?"

" But I'm suppose to be keeping an eye on you" Axel said. He let go of Roxas' arm.



" Well then, we should try again, I want to get it right, not just give up because I can't get it right" Sora said.

"Well.... What exactly do you expect to happen to me if I'm out of your sight for a short while?" Roxas asked, taking a step back from Axel.

Riku nodded. "Yeah. Alright." he said, taking a few steps back. "Get in your defensive position."

" I'm not really clear on that, all they told me was your in danger" He said.

Sora nodded and did as he was told.

Roxas raised an eyebrow. "There's no way." he said. "And besides, I can take care of myself."

Riku waited for him to be ready this time before going forward and kicking towards his stomach again. He didn't want to hurt him again.

" Well frankly Sora, I don't give a damn if you think that. You just need to accept the facts." He said. Axel mused for a few moments," Oh are you sneaking off to meet some girl is that why you keep trying to avoid me?" He asked.



This time Sora manged to block him.
