Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts. I do however own my take on Ventus' backstory. This takes place between Kingdom Hearts II and Coded/Re:Coded.

Maybe it was because of Roxas. Or maybe there was just something about Twilight Town that made it a very good place to go to. Sora looked up at the sky and winced slightly. Maybe he should have waited before traveling here. It was getting rather dark. He looked around to see if anyone was still there in the streets. Thankfully, there was an old lady in the middle of the road.

"Excuse me! Miss! Do you know a place where I could spend the night?"

"Hm? What'd you say?"

"Is there a place around here where I could spend the night?"

"There is! You see those buildings over there?" She gestured to a small cluster of buildings to Sora's left. "The first one on your left is a very nice inn. They have very cheap rates there."

"Thanks ma'am!" Sora waved to her as he turned and started towards the inn.

"Anytime dearie!" She waved back at him as she headed on her own way.

Reaching his destination, Sora grabbed the doorknob and walked in. It…didn't look like a "very nice" inn. In fact, it didn't even look like an inn. It looked more like a house.

"You've got all of five seconds to tell me what the hell you're doin' in my house." The blond haired young woman with her hair in pigtails pointing a frying pan in her hand, a ticked off expression on her face agreed with his thought about the "inn".

Well, this was going to be awkward to explain.
