Oh this was going to hurt more than Roxas had been expecting. He'd expected retaliation to come quick. He hadn't been expecting Sora to more or less grab him by the neck to hold him for the next blow. He also hadn't expected the words that had accompanied it.

He would worry about responding to that after breaking out of Sora's grip... if he could. Here was where the difference in strength presented a problem. The best he could hope for was to try to block the incoming punch with one hand while trying to pry his way out of Sora's hold with the other.

Could this get any worse?
