-Chapter Three-
"Happy Birthday, Paopuko," Queen Minnie said along with the others who were in attendance at the Princess's party.
"I'm sorry I didn't get you a present," Kajiko apologized, after Paopuko had opened her gifts. "But I don't have any money."
"Don't be silly," Paopuko smiled. "I got a new friend today. That's the nicest present of all."
This made Kajiko feel a lot better. She smiled and helped Paopuko put on a new heart-shaped locket she had been given by Queen Minnie. Inside the locket were pictures of Riku and Sora.

"Sora! Get back!"
"Hey, I'm a Keyblade Master, too," Sora griped as he fought side-by-side with his husband.
"Just try not to get hurt again," Riku told him. "I don't know what I'd do if you got hurt again."
"It was a minor injury," Sora pointed out.
"A broken leg," Riku observed, "is not a minor injury."
"Hurry," King Mickey observed. "I've traced their path. If they stay on their projected course, they'll reach their destination in two hours."
"What is their destination?"
"By the looks of things, Disney Castle," King Mickey told them.

"Dinner is served," a castle cook told the crowd that had gathered for Paopuko's birthday.
Paopuko and Kajiko stood up from petting Paopuko's new pet kitten, Shinju. They washed their hands and were about to join the others when Shinju suddenly began hissing and spitting.
"Paopuko," a voice the young Princess called out. She turned, catching sight of her papa. But before she could say anything, Riku tossed a keyblade to her.
"Sora," Mickey said as he and Sora joined Riku. "Give Kajiko Bond of Flame! Hurry!"
"Right!" Sora replied as he tossed Bond of Flame to Kajiko.
The Axel-haired girl caught the fire-key and turned to face her foes.
She and Paopuko fought side-by-side along with Riku, Sora, and King Mickey.
"Where's Kairi?" Paopuko asked as she fought off several Heartless.
"On her honeymoon," Riku replied as the battle ended. "She married a young sitarist who came to Destiny Islands a couple of years ago."
In the aftermath of the battle, a long silence permeated the room. Paopuko then ran and hugged her papa while Kajiko looked on almost enviously. Kajiko watched as the small family embraced and she felt a sinking feeling somewhere in her chest where she guessed a heart was supposed to be. As she turned her head, Sora looked up at her and said,
"Axel?"
Kajiko looked at him in confusion.
"Excuse me?"
Sora noticed the subtle differences in her appearance and said,
"Oh, sorry. I thought you were someone else."
For the third time that night, Kajiko couldn't explain something to herself. The name 'Axel' rang a bell, but she couldn't figure out what it meant to her. She decided to ask Sora who this person was.
"Um, who's Axel?" she asked.
Sora thought for a minute, then replied,
"I don't really know, but I do know someone who does."
Sora closed his eyes and touched the spot above his heart. Much to the surprise of Kajiko, a whole other person stepped out of him. At least, that's what it looked like.
"Axel was my best friend," the new arrival told Kajiko. "He was a fire-mage. And a very powerful one at that."
"What happened to him?" Kajiko asked.
"He gave his life to save mine," Sora told her. "He was a very brave man."
King Mickey reached into his pocket and pulled out a photograph.
"This is a picture of your parents," he said, handing the photograph to Kajiko.
The picture was of a young couple. A man with flame red hair that was just like her own and emerald green eyes standing behind a young woman in a wedding gown who had blue-black hair and powder-blue eyes.
"That's Axel and his bride Yuri," King Mickey told her. "That was taken on the day that you were conceived."
"What happened to them?" Kajiko asked.
"Yuri died in childbirth," King Mickey explained, bowing his head in respect. "After that, Axel kept you hidden from the others. You were the true reason for his happiness. But he couldn't show it until Roxas came along and gave him the excuse he needed. The reason for the darkness that did exist within him was his grief over Yuri's death. A grief that was, for a while, abated by the presence of the one who became his secret husband."
"Demyx," Roxas realized.
King Mickey nodded. "It was Axel's plan to raise Kajiko with Demyx after bringing down Organization XIII. But Demyx was killed by Sora,"
At this Sora bowed his head in remorse.
King Mickey continued. "And Axel, in grief over Demyx, decided he would rather die than lose another friend."
Kajiko, far from being relieved at finding out who her parents were, looked angry.
"So he wouldn't stay alive, even for me?"
At this, the trio looked at each other, wearing matching looks of uneasiness. It seemed that Kajiko had reached her own decision about her father...and it wasn't good.
