"She's fallen into a Sleeping Death." Axel stated and Roxas' eyes widened.

"She's dead?!" He asked with tears in his eyes.

"Not quite. She's dead but asleep."

"It's my entire fault." The blonde haired nobody looked at the palms of his hands. "If it wasn't for me, Max wouldn't be in this position, this is my entire fault!" Roxas cried.

"What are you saying?" Axel asked rather annoyed and Roxas looked up at him. "Pull yourself together, are you just going to give up so easily and it's not your fault." The blue eyed boy nodded at this.

"You're right; we need to find a way to wake her up. I'm not gonna give up on her. I love her." He stated and Axel frowned.

"Roxas, I can't help you on this. I have my own mission. What you have to do is go to Saïx and ask him where Maximum did her mission?" The red pyro got up. He raised his hand and opened a Corridor of Darkness.

"Roxas, take care of her." He mumbled and Roxas nodded.

"I promise." Axel left and Roxas stood up. He looked down at her and clenched his fist. "I'll find a way to wake you up."

The blonde haired nobody looked everywhere for Saïx. But when he asked Xigbar, the nobody with the eye patch said that he was with Xemnas. Roxas went all the way to Xemnas' room and knocked.

"Come in." The superior stated and Roxas entered the room to see Saïx and Xemnas.

"Saïx, Xemnas, Max has fallen into a Sleeping Death." Roxas declared.

"What a shame! Such a disgraceful nobody will be remembered." Xemnas said and Roxas growled at this, holding his anger inside him.

"Saïx, where did she go for her mission?" The blonde haired boy asked.

"In the Dwarf Woodlands." Saïx answered nonchalantly and Roxas turned around.

"Right!" He left the room.

Dwarf Woodlands…

Roxas spoke to a Princess called Snow White and she told him that she had once eaten a red apple which resulted into her falling into a Sleeping Death. It was a poisonous apple and was given by a witch who still lurked in the woods.

The blonde haired boy nodded at this and set out to find the witch in the woods. All he could think about was Max. He found the old woman and approached her.

"Are you the witch who gave Max that red apple?" Roxas asked through his teeth and the ugly witch looked up at him with a wicked smile.

"The girl who had bright and beautiful red hair?" The blue eyed nobody's cheeks were a faint red and he gulped.

"Y-yes. The girl with red haired and green eyes." He mumbled shyly.

"Yes, there was something about the girl. She seemed so sad and lonely." The witch pretended to sound worried. Roxas looked down at the ground and sighed sadly.

"She said that the boy she loved the most, the boy who she cared about the most didn't love her anymore. The poor thing was hungry and I wanted to end her suffering, so I gave her the apple." Roxas' Keyblade appeared in his hand and he aimed it at the old woman.

"What do I have to do to wake her up?" He asked in a threatening tone.

"True love's kiss will wake her up." He lowered his Keyblade and turned around. "You better kiss her soon, or else she will be asleep forever." She warned.

"How soon?"

"In a few minutes!" The old witch started to laugh evilly and Roxas gasped, dropping his keyblade. He had to get to her as soon as possible. He opened a Corridor of Darkness and left.

Castle That Never Was…

Roxas ended up at the bottom of the stairs and he looked up at him and her room. The blonde haired boy started running as fast as he could up the stairs. All he could think about was Max. He finally got to their room and found her lying on the bed peacefully asleep.

He rushed to her side and sat down next to her. He held her cold hands and pressed them against his chest. He leaned down closer to her and his tears fell onto her face.

"I'm sorry for everything I've done to hurt you. I love you so much and I need you in my life." Roxas whispered and pressed his lips onto hers. He kissed her with everything he had. All he wanted was for her to wake up, no all he needed was for her to wake up.

Roxas kept his lips on her and then she fluttered her eyes open like butterflies. She felt his warm lips against hers and blushed at this. He pulled away and buried his face into the crook of her neck. His arms were wrapped around her.

"I love you, Max." He mumbled.

"I love you too, Roxas…" She said ever so softly and his eyes widened. He pulled away from her and smiled.

"Max, you're alive!" He exclaimed and she nodded. She looked at the ground and frowned.

"I'm sorry Roxas, for everything." He lifted her chin and she looked at him. Roxas shook his head.

"No, I'm sorry Max, I'm sorry for making you cry and I'm sorry for everything I've done." He said and she placed her hand onto his cheek. He leaned in closer to her and kissed her lips.

"Thank you for saving me." She mumbled against his lips. He shook his head at this and his knees were by her sides.

"I love you." He whispered next to her ear. He started rubbing his lips on her jawline and he got closer to her lips. He started kissing her and she kissed him back. The blonde haired boy bit sucked and caressed her lips with his lips and tongue. She felt butterflies in his stomach.

Suddenly her stomach rumbled and her cheeks were a bright red. He pulled away from her and Max covered her face with embarrassment. "I'm sorry." She apologised and they both sat up.

"You don't have to apologise." He said ever so sweetly and picked up a bowl of food. She opened her mouth and started feeding her. There was a calm and peaceful silence between them until Roxas broke it.

"No matter what Xemnas says, I'll never stop loving you." She smiled at this and swallowed her food.

"Me neither." She said.

"Don't listen to what he says, you're not a disgrace!" She smiled at this with a tear falling down her cheek. She cupped his jaw whilst rubbing her thumb on his cheek.

"Thank you, for everything, Roxy." He placed the bowl onto the table and took her hand. He kissed it softly and smiled.

Elsewhere…

"I can never forgive myself for everything I've done to Sora and… Mai." Riku stated as he and King Mickey stood in the forest in Twilight Town. "Can you do me a favour?"

"Sure, just tell me." Mickey said.

"I have to face one or maybe even two nobodies from the Organisation soon. I might not survive the fight. And if I do, it might only be because of I gave into the darkness." Riku sighed. "When Sora, Donald and Goofy wake up, and if Mai wakes up with them, I may not be able to face them because of the guilt." The King nodded at this.

"You'll be the only one who will be there for them. The only one who can guide them when they awaken."

"Riku…" Mickey frowned.

"Please, Mickey. Promise me, you have to be there for our friends. You have to be there for Them."

"Of course, Riku! I promise!" He said. "Riku, if you don't mind me asking, did you have feelings for Princess Mai?" King Mickey asked and the silver haired boy sighed.

"Well, I was in love with her. I know I can't have her now. But I still wanna protect her... because she's like family to me."

Day 355…

"Max, you're awake!" Axel said as he embraced his little sister and kissed her forehead.

"Yeah…" She mumbled with pink cheeks and he pulled away from her with a raised eyebrow.

"How did you wake up?" He asked and she wrapped her arms around Roxas' arm whilst blushing.

"True love's kiss." Roxas answered.

"So you're…" Roxas nodded vigorously at this and placed a kiss on her cheek. His smile dropped and their faces turned serious.

"Have you found Xion and Jonathan yet?" Roxas asked.

"Like it's gonna be that easy." Axel sighed.

"Have you tried the islands?" Maximum questioned and Axel shook his head. "Where could she be?"

"Axel, have you known about them from the beginning?" Axel averted his green eyes to the ground at Roxas' question.

"Not from the beginning."

"Since when?"

"Well, I dunno…Somewhere along the way." Axel scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Didn't get it memorized, huh?" Roxas joked with a sad smile. She felt a tear falling down her cheek as she looked at her brother and saw his pain and sorrow. His smile dropped and he looked at the ground.

"Axel, who am I?" Her eyes widened and she looked at Roxas. She held her hand and gave them a squeeze. He looked so sad. "Me, Max, Jon, and Xion are special Nobodies. But the Organisation was trying to erase me and Maximum. Right?"

"Yeah…that's right." Axel muttered.

"Is it because Xion copied my power and Jon copied Max… the power of the Keyblade and they didn't need us anymore." Max sniffed at this and shook her head.

'I need you, Roxas.'

"Do you feel the same way, Axel?" Roxas asked and the pyro gasped at this.

"Of course not! You're my best friend and my baby sister." Axel stated.

"Then, who I am?!" Roxas shouted. "Xemnas said me and Xion are connected to Sora. Who is Sora?" Maximum looked down and sighed. "Am I the same as Xion?!"

"You and Xion are different." Axel replied.

"So-" But the red haired pyro didn't let him continue.

"The truth isn't going to make you feel better!" Max tilted his head to the side and raised an eyebrow; what truth about Roxas?

"The truth, what truth Axel?" Max asked.

"I have the right to know the truth about myself." Roxas said.

"He's right, Axel. He has every right to know the truth about himself." Max agreed.

"Why am I here? Why am I so special? Why can I use the Keyblade? I have every right to know the truth!" Roxas started to get tenser by the minute and the red haired nobody wrapped her arm around his shoulder.

"Roxas, calm down." She whispered.

"Roxas…" Axel trailed off.

"You're not going to tell me are you?" He looked down at this and sighed. Roxas turned around and started walking off.

"I want to know the truth about me. Who I am…I want to know why I was born. If I learn that…then I..." Max started walking behind Roxas and turned to Axel. She mouthed a 'I'm sorry' with a tear falling down her cheek.

AN Almost done... Hopefully. If my brain doesn't have an idea again.
