Key to the Heart - A Kingdom Hearts Fanfic!

Chapter 9: Reconnecting?

        "Breath... should I take a deep?" Ruby is shown sitting alone on the clock tower as she stares out at the sunset. "Faith... should I take the leap?" Roxas is shown in his organization thirteen cloak with the hood up. "Taste... what a bittersweet!" The two are shown walking the opposite direction of one another before they are shown looking at one another from over their shoulders. "All my, all my life!" Axel is shown walking over to Roxas and putting his arm around his neck and pulls him away. "Let me face!" Ruby is shown looking away as she stood alone. "Let me face!" Light flashes and Ruby is shown running from Nobodies that suddenly attack. "Let me face my fears!" Roxas is shown looking down sadly as he was forced to follow orders. "Let me face! Let me face! Let me face my fears!" Light flashes and Ruby is shown laughing as she sits next to Roxas as the two talk. "Won't be long!" Light flashes and Ruby is shown standing with shock on her face as Roxas is shown standing in front of her. "Won't be long!" Light flashes and Ruby is shown crying as she stood alone. "I'm almost here!" Light flashes as Sora and Roxas are shown on separate screens before Roxas is shown fading away and Sora is shown alone. "Watch me cry all my tears!" Ruby is staring at the sky as it looked like doves fly around her. "Let me face!" Light flashes as Ruby is shown floating back as she reached up. "Let me face!" Roxas, Ruby, Xion and Axel are shown laughing together as Ruby and Roxas sat beside one another. "Let me face my fears!" Music continues to play as Ruby and Roxas are shown reuniting before Ruby is shown sitting alone as she stares at out the sky and the title is shown above her.

After a few days, Xion didn't show up. Ruby was getting just as worried about her as Roxas was. Roxas asks Axel about what to do.

"No offense to the other girl in the group, but girls are complicated and there are buttons you have to avoid pressing." Axel says.

"Did I maybe press the wrong buttons?" Roxas asks.

"I feel a little offended. But I'm not going to let it bother me." Ruby says and she smiles.

"She'll be fine in a couple of days and we'll all have ice cream again." Axel says.

[A Few Days Later]

After several days, it was just Roxas and Ruby. Ruby was wondering why Xion and Roxas hadn't made up. Ruby wondered if the reason Xion was so upset is because of the vision she saw. She didn't really understand it at all but she wasn't sure how to ask about it either.

About two and a half weeks later, Ruby was busy writing in her diary that she kept that she hid right away when Roxas and Axel showed up. They been sitting there talking for a while when Roxas looked at Ruby.

"Ruby, what's love?" Roxas asks and Ruby just about drops her ice cream to the ground below.

"Uh... let's see how do I describe this... Love... It's a feeling that two people feel for one another, I guess. I'm not an expert on that emotion remember?" Ruby says.

"I'd say you are." Axel says.

"No I'm not!" Ruby says as her face turns bright red.

"Perhaps... if I help complete Kingdom Hearts and I gain a heart I will finally find out the answer." Roxas says.

The following day, Roxas told Ruby about Xion being asleep. Ruby was worried for their friend for Axel and Roxas. Ruby felt like there was something that Axel wasn't telling Roxas and Ruby. Ruby wondered if she could go see Xion but Axel and Roxas wouldn't let her. They told her it wasn't safe for her.

[Eighteen Days Later]

Ruby waits with ice cream for her friends. She spots them approaching and she waves. She gasps when she sees Xion and she smiles.
