Radiant Destiny

Chapter 29: “The Town”
I smirked. “More like a second mother.” I responded. “Axel if you wish for me to spend the night with you, sop calling Cloud girly.” Roxy warned. “…Sorry… you know I didn’t mean it babe.” I apologized. “…Man… I never saw to gay guys show their love in public before… Father was right about this town being open-minded about sexuality…” Riku responded. I raised an eyebrow. “You make it sound like we just made out in the middle of the street…” I responded. Riku chuckled. “Sorry. Its just since I came out and even before then, guys couldn’t talk like that in front of people.” Riku explained. “Well it sounds like the places you lived had terrible people. The only thing no-one can do with sexuality in front of people here is have sex.” I responded. “Axel!” Roxy and Sora yelled at the same time. “Awe sorry loves… Did I turn you on?” I said smirking. “No, you just ran a red light pyrro!” Sora answered, blushing. “…Oh… oops.” I said. “Pull over Axel, I’ll drive.” Roxy said. … I pulled over…




“Wait, can you?” Riku asked. “Well yeah, I have my license, so does Sora. Cloud just wants us to work and buy our own cars.” Roxy answered Riku. “Roxy you make it sound like I’m spoilt brat!” I responded. “Sorry Ax. Hes not… This car use to be his moms until she got her new one…” Roxy explained. “Yeah it might be old but hell, I’ll take what I can…” I responded. “Okay Axel, out of the car.” Roxy said. “Fine…” I said unbuckling myself. I got out and went around the car, Roxas slid across the seat. By the time I got in and fastened my seatbelt Roxy already had his on, moved the seat up and started it. “Ha ha. A little excited to drive babe?” I asked. “Hell yeah!” Roxy said pulling out onto the road. We were the last ones so on- one pulled over to ask what we were doing…



Before I knew it we were at the docks and parked. “Yo what took you guys so long, yo?” Reno asked. “Roxy wanted to drive.” I answered getting out of the car. “yo.” Reno responded. I shook my head as he turned around and lead the way to the docks… “You guys will get use to him someday…” I responded to the weird looks the ‘Storms’ were giving Reno. We all walked down to the docks and I couldn’t help but notice Larxene talking to Loz and Loz alone. I wonder if she has a crush? Hmmm… That’s something I’ll have to check out later…



The docks had a wonderful feel to it, well it always had really… “Reminds me of the docks of the islands…” Kadaj spoke. “Want to go swimming?” Demyx asked. Everyone, and I do mean everyone, gave Demyx a weird look. Demyx blinked. “…What?…” Pretty much everyone started laughing then. “Dem honey, its 35 degrees!” Zexion explained through his laughter. Demyx pouted and crossed his arms. “Awe he didn’t mean anything by it love.” Vexen said hugging Demyx from behind. “I know he didn’t but it still hurts…” Demyx responded. Zexion touched Demyx’s check, getting his attention before kissing him briefly. “…Apology accepted Zexy!” Demyx said after their kiss before hugging him with Vexen still hugging him from behind…


“…As much as I like a show, we should head to the park. The park is much more interesting than the docks.” Xemnas spoke. “You’re just jealous that I have two boyfriend and you only have one!” Demyx said sticking out his tongue at him. “I, unlike you, only need one.” Xemnas responded. Demyx wormed his way out of their arms and stood in front of Xemnas. “Man Sex didn’t mean anything by that Dem, calm down.” I said getting in between them. “Why is he here anyways!?” Demyx asked. “Because hes a friend and he wants to know them.” I answered. “We only put up with mister ‘I’m better than you’ because hes Saix’s boyfriend.” Demyx said turning around. I turned quickly to stop Xemnas in his tracks. “Drop it Xem.” I said. “Sorry for that comment Xemnas, Demyx just gets… protective…” Zexion apologized while Demyx was already across the street. “I know I started it but if he keeps it up I’m going to hurt him Zexion.” Xemnas warned. “I’ll talk to him.” Zexion said before he got all of us on the move to find Demyx…



“Sorry about all the drama guys, its not like this all the time, I promise.” I apologized to the Storms. “We have drama all the time. If dad wasn’t here, we’d kill each other by now.” Kadaj responded. “Then you know what I mean.” I responded. Yazoo giggled. “Only too well.” Loz said rolling his eyes at Yazoo. I laughed as we reached the park.



We all walked into the park looking for Demyx. We didn’t find him until we found some rusted old swings. He was hanging upside down on the bar from the top. Vexen and Zexion walked up to him while the rest of us stayed behind. “They just need a minute.” I voiced to the others… I could see them talking to him and Demyx did a somewhat jump/roll off the bar to the ground. Once Demyx was standing straight they hugged him. Demyx said something and they let go of him before they walked over to us… “I’m sorry for what I said Xemnas, it was uncalled for…” Demyx apologized. “Thank you and I’m sorry for starting it.” Xemnas apologized back. “…Well now that we are all back to normal, how about showing them the park?” Saix said standing next to Xemnas. “Then lets go yos!” Reno said wrapping his arms around both Xemnas and Saix. “Must you touch me?” Xemnas asked. “Yo man I’m being friendly yo.” Reno said letting go and leading the way.



The park went better than I thought it was going to be. We showed them the old play ground, the pond, the gardens, and even the wood paths. But we only had so much time and there was still more to see…


“Okay everyone! The beach!” Demyx yelled jumping up and down. “Okay Dem, calm don we’re going…” Kairi said rolling her eyes. I couldn’t help but smile at her. She’s not a little kid anymore, still my little sis but not little… She’s in love now… “Yo Ax! Hurry up or we’ll leave you yo!” Reno yelled from the street. I shook my head lightly before running to catch up…



Again we were the last ones to get there , this time because of Sora… He begged to drive and he drove like an old woman! It must have been because of Riku… I mean he doesn’t drive fast because of what happened to their parents, but he never drove THAT SLOW! I could tell Reno was going to yell but then he saw who drove and smirked… No-one complained. “Well… the beach everyone!” Demyx said excitedly. The beach was wonderful, I’d have to admit… Light, almost white sand, a wonderful set of boulders next to the waters edge and even a big white and black tree on its side. The tree must have came from somewhere else and got over half buried in the sand when the waves brought it in who knows how long ago… We spent about an hour and a half there until it started to get cold because of the oceans wind. We all agreed to head over to the restaurant and walk around town before going in and eating… So with that, I drove us into town heading for the main drag…




With in a couple of minutes we all parked in Soul Repper Town’s parking lot. “…Soul Repper Town?…” Kadaj asked. “Yeah it’s a weird name but the food, music and hosting is wonderful!” Kairi responded. “Yo the owner and cook is Gin Kurosaki. Hes the husband of Rangiku the art teacher and the father of Toushiro, the Spanish teacher, Ichigo our brother’s friend and Orihime the nurse, yo” Reno explained. “Well lets start the tour…” I said walking ahead but turning around and walking backwards. “Roxas you mind warning me if I’m about to run into anyone love?” I asked. Roxas smiled his ‘of course’ smile…



“Okay so first we are on the main street here in town, you need to go anywhere, it most likely on this street… For the best bookstore you should go here.” I said stopping and pointing at the book store called ‘The Store That Never Was’. “Weird name yes, but wonderful! Owned by Xemnas’ dad Xandort.” I explained before starting back up walking backwards. “Okay now as you know this isn’t really a big town so there’s not that much of a variety, but recently Zexion’s aunt Maleficent opened up a store. Here it is.” I said stopping again. “Zexion.” I motioned. “This store is all about Wicca ways. I work here and do the books for aunt Male.” Zexion explained. The store was called ‘Fly-by Night book store’ *This is a real store readers. Check it out! www.flybynightbookstore.com* “Anyways next we can go down this side street.” I said turning to the right. “Now I know guys already been here. This is the uniform/clothing store, Midgar Classics! Owned by Lulu Marly’s mom, he works here also.” I announced before walking next door…



“Now we only have one flower shop. They do everything from gifts to weddings to funerals.” I explained. The flower store was called ‘Final Fantasy’. “Final Fantasy… Sounds like a porn store.” Loz responded. We all laughed. “Everyone thought that at one point! Leave my moms store along!” Demyx said blushing. Everyone laughed harder which got even Demyx to laugh. “Okay now to go back across the street.” I said walking past them and crossing the street, all the while doing it backwards. “Next we have the best ice cream shop.” I said showing the store called ‘Ducky’s’. “Next to it is the photo shop.” I showed. The photo shop was called ‘Knight Vision’. “Now we need to get back on the main road.” I said turning around again…



“Okay now we have the show store, Pegasus, owned by Meg’s dad. Across the street is our best vet Wild Hart, owned by mother! “I explained with a big smile. “Now down to the right is the hospital Radiant Ocean, the main doctor is Eric Ocean’s father Fletcher.” I explained. We didn’t go down to it at all… “Okay now follow me.” I said heading to the left instead. “First off is the auto shop Gummi Shop. Across the street here is the only grocery store in town, The Garden. At the end of this street is the local College, Radiant Academy.” I explained before heading back to the main street again. “Okay to the right are houses, same with the left as you know cause we live on that street.” I said passing those streets up. After about a mile from were we started we got to two other streets. “To the left is the elementary school, Radiant E, and to the right id the middle school, Radian Lick. I know the names suck…” I explained. “Can we go back now, my legs are starting to hurt.” Kairi asked. “Yeah the only thing left is the arm base but we can’t get on the ground anyway…” I said this time walking normally back to the restaurant…
