-Chapter Five-

 

“So, when do we start this little endeavor?” Axel asked, after dinner was over and the dishes had been done. Demyx had gotten Sora back for his little joke by causing the water from the faucet to redirect itself upward and soak the younger Keyblade Master.

 

“Tomorrow morning,” Riku replied. “We could all use some rest. Assuming that the Heartless and the Nobodies that are left will let us get any.”

 

“Everyone be on your guard,” King Mickey warned. “Whoever is controlling the remaining Heartless and Nobodies might already be onto our plan.”

 

“Just one problem, there's one less bed than there are people.”

 

“That's okay,” Axel replied. “I'm staying up tonight. Someone has to keep an eye on things tonight.”

 

Sora nodded, then went into one of the bedrooms. He was about to get into the waterbed when someone grabbed him by the scruff of the neck.

 

“Mine.” Demyx told him, climbing into the waterbed and drifting off to sleep.

 

“Okay…” Sora muttered, watching as the waterbed began to ripple.

 

He walked into the next room and found Riku already in bed, sound asleep.

 

Unable to help himself, Sora walked up to the bed and kissed Riku as he slept.

 

Riku reached up and pulled Sora closer, causing the younger Keyblade Master to whimper in surprise.

 

“I love you, too, Sora,” he whispered, eyes still closed.

 

 

Sora finally found a bed for himself and climbed in. With a yawn, he lie down. His head had just hit the pillow when he heard a fight going on downstairs.

 

Rushing downstairs with a yawn, he saw Axel battling a band of ice demons. Demyx was soon there, fighting side-by-side with his boyfriend.

 

More demons came. Hot water clones. One of them attacked Demyx, sending tendrils of hot water down the water mage's throat.

 

“Demyx!” Axel cried out, casting a fire spell at the hot water demon until it vanished in a wisp of steam.

 

Demyx clutched his throat, whimpering at the sensation of the burns the hot water had left behind.

 

Axel pulled Demyx into his arms and kissed him, using his control over fire to erase the burns from within the water mage's throat.

 

Sora raised his keyblade to attack one of the water clones. At the same time, Riku moved forward to attack an ice clone.

 

Just then, one of the ice clones launched a full scale attack, freezing the four elemental warriors in blocks of solid ice.

 

Sora, Riku, and Demyx quickly fell into a deep sleep. But Axel, being a fire mage, began to slowly melt the ice around him.

 

Being the only one awake, Axel aged, though more slowly than he would have if he had not been encased in ice. His skin remained smooth and young, but his hair was now pure white.

 

After one hundred years, Axel finally melted the ice from around himself and Demyx. When he looked around and saw the other two still frozen in the ice, his eyes widened a fraction of an inch and he made a sort of strangled sound.

 

“How in the world was this possible?” Demyx asked.

 

“Beats me.”
