It was late out and Riku was on the TV Tower in The World That Never Was. The rain poured down. He gently pulled the blindfold off and looked around. There she was, the newest Organization member. Her name was Kaxet, or at least that's the name DiZ introduced her as. She had kept her cloak so tight to her body that no one really got a good look at her when she first came. All they could see even now were her eyes. Her eyes were so strange. The pupils were grey and the Iris was a vivid pink. No one had seen her skin really. All they could see was her chin and lips. Her skin was a milky pale color.
Riku watched as she approached the edge of the building. She came close and then she did what he expected. She stepped right off and turned so she was falling headfirst. The cloak stay close to her body and he still couldn't see underneath. He wanted so badly to see her face and what she looked like. But sadly, he thought he never would. As she fell, she kept her eyes closed.
"Beautiful… To bad she's with the organization." He thought watching her fall. He knew she could take care of herself so he knew she was all right. As she neared the ground she slowed almost to a stop and her body twisted so her feet gently hit the ground. He sighed and put the blindfold back on. He stood and watched as she walked up to the TV Tower. She gave him a look of 'I'm ready to go now.' Riku was assigned by DiZ to make Kaxet happy. It wasn't very hard. She liked to go to The World That Never Was. She loved to go there and just looked at every one, every now and then Riku caught her talking to herself, or singing gently.
"Alright. Lets go." He said coming down from the tower. He came down quickly and walked passed her. She followed gently. Riku opened a dark portal and they entered. When they exited it they were in Castle Oblivion. She nodded her head signaling for him to leave. She walked to her room and entered. She closed the door tightly and locked it. She pulled the hood down and looked out her window. Her mirror was covered with a sheet. She obviously didn't like to see herself. Her face was a little round and plump. Her nose was a little puffy but not really. Her eyes possessed a sadness in them that could pierce the soul. Her milky white skin was tainted with black vein like tattoos the came up her neck, cheeks, and feathered out on her forehead. She let a few tears roll down her cheek and her hair was blown by the wind coming from the open window. Her hair was a rusty blonde with pink highlights. Her lower lip quivered slightly and she bowed her head and gripped the windowsill. She was gripping it hard for her knuckles were turning white. She opened her mouth and let a small cry of pain out. It was quiet so no one could hear it. Somewhere out there, a world was diving into fear. She could feel it. She didn't like that feeling. It hurt her if she felt too much fear. She let a few more tears roll down her cheeks. She couldn't take it. Why was she cursed with this power? Why must she suffer what others suffer? Why must she feel the guilt of others who lie? Why… Why did her parents have to leave her…? She collapsed to her knees and let her tears flow ever so gently. The black on her face glowed slightly.
You must suffer for those who do not…
"Don't remind me." She thought bitterly.
But you must be reminded sometimes dear child.
"I am no longer a child."
But you are in the aspects of your mind. You do not think as an adult would.
"I am not an adult either."
Then what are you? Are you just another NoBody? Or are you still alive. It's hard to tell with you.
"I am not a Nobody. You know perfectly well. I am still alive. WHY MUST YOU DWELL IN ME!"
Because dear child. You invited me………
She let her tears flow freely now. She couldn't take it; she wanted to rid herself of 'Him'. She wanted to be free. To make decisions on her own, to be able to feel free, to spread her wings and fly, she wanted most of all to find who killed her parents…
Riku's room…
Riku lay on his bead looking at the ceiling. He had a good deal with the Organization. He helped him every once and a while and they gave him a place to stay. He sighed. Kaxet was so strange. She rarely ever spoke and when she did it wasn't even a full sentence. She was always looking out as if she could see something others couldn't.
"What is she seeing?" Riku asked himself. He had no idea what she thought about or saw. Her eyes to him held a sadness in them he had never seen before. Almost like a plea for help, or a cry for mercy.
You must suffer for those who do not…
"Not you again…" Riku complained in his mind.
You must be reminded sometimes dear child.
"I'm not a kid anymore…"
But you are in aspects of your mind. You do not think as an adult.
"But I'm not an adult. I'm not a kid either. I can take care of myself now."
Then what are you? Are you just another NoBody? Or are you still alive? It's hard to tell with you.
"I… I'm not just another NoBody. Why must you reside within me?" Riku was not really sure if he was alive. Was he…?
Because dear child. You invited me………
Riku didn't want to remember Ansem. He was still in his heart but he was stronger now and could take care of himself. He could keep Ansem from gaining control mostly. Every now and then though he felt another. He felt a second person with in him. Some one with a deep sadness, some one who bared a great pain and wished to die. But this person felt dead in a way, felt like they were searching for something, like some one else controlled them. Like-
His thoughts were interrupted by a knock at his door. He got up and went to answer it. When he opened it, it was Axel.
"What do you want?" He asked irritated.
"Have you found anything out about Kaxet?"
"No. Nothing. I even looked her up but nothing appears. It's like she never existed or someone erased her files so no one would ever know about her." Riku said stepping outside.
"Strange. Why would anyone want to erase her files? She's not much of anyone any way. No one can get close enough to her to know what she thinks and feels. I don't understand her."
"Maybe she's fighting something no one knows about."
"But why would she keep it a secret? Why would she not tell any one if she was fighting something?"
"She may have her reasons. You never know what it could be."
"Well you try and find out what she's up to. You never know." He said walking off now. Riku stood in the hall, alone. He sighed heavily. He started to walk, no where in particular, when he spotted Kaxet heading toward the courtyard. He decided to follow her. He followed her and saw her sit down on the stone bench. He stayed his distance and stood watching her. She held her hand out and a small orb appeared in it. It was a grey color and he could see something in side moving around. He watched a while and every now and then she would laugh slightly at something. He got fed up because he could not see what she was seeing. He stood and walked over and sat next to her.
"What are you looking at?" He asked. She was surprised he was there and looked at him.
"M-M-My friend…" He looked in at a boy with black hair. He looked to be his age, and a year older then Kaxet. His hair was similar to Riku's style only shorter. His eyes seemed to be the same color to. He sat on the ground some where with his head against wall. He was saying something.
"What's he saying?"
"He's listing off what he would give up to see his two best friends." She stopped a listened then giggled. "He just said he'd give up his driver license and his car to see me again."
"Why's that funny?"
"He treats his car better then his pets." Riku chuckled at that slightly.
"He sounds a bit like me."
"He is." She said smiling.
"What's his name?"
"Kuyo."
"Who's the other friend?" She bit her lip as Riku said this.
"Uh… Well… I don't want to talk about him…"
"I under stand. I feel like that sometimes." Riku said referring to Sora and Kairi. He caught her smile slightly.
"At least some one understands. No one really ever can get me."
"Maybe because your not very talkative. The people here think you're slightly strange." She sighed.
"I don't talk to any one because I don't have much to say."
"Sure you do. From what I've heard you're a very interesting person." She stood and the orb shattered into a million pieces and the pieces turned to dust and flew off.
"I have to go." There was no longer any kind of emotion in her voice. Riku looked at her wondering what he said. She quickly walked off and to DiZ's office.
"Great, when she finally starts to talk" He said once out of earshot, "I blow it and I don't even know what I said." He sighed heavily.
Kaxet quickly walked to DiZ's office with a pained expression on her face. As she walked to the office the doors blew open and banged loudly. Axel, who had been in the room, moved closer to Diz's desk.
"What world did you send the darkness to?" She demanded.
"FoxWood Why? Can you feel their fear? Does it hurt?" He asked looking though papers.
"Yes it does! You have to stop it. I can't take that much fear anymore. It's killing me!" She said starting to fall down to the ground in pain.
"It will be done. Axel, Take her back to her room." He said writing something down. Axel picked her up and brought her back to her room and set her on her bed, she quickly feel asleep after that.
You know you'll never be free… You'll never find them… You'll never cast me out… No one understands you… You'll NEVER be loved!
Riku shoot up form his bed in fear of his dream. He had been having this same dream every other night for two months… Ever since Kaxet arrived. He understood most of the dream but he didn't get the part about never finding them.
"What does it mean?" he moaned to himself while falling back down into his bed. He lay silently for a little while before he heard a cry coming from Kaxet's room, which was across the hall. He gently got up and quietly walked over and listened in. She was sobbing uncontrollably.
"I will! You'll see! YOU'RE WRONG!" She shouted in her sleep. He could hear her tossing and turning. He slid down the wall and sat there. He ran his finger though his hair pulling it out of his face. Sighing heavily he thought about all that was happening around him. His hands weren't gloved for once and he was wearing flannel navy blue pants. His blindfold was off and he was staring absently at the ground.
"What's wrong with her?" He asked himself quietly. "She seems so calm in the day but she sleeps restlessly at night. What is haunting her?" He mumbled looking at her door. Riku heard something moving inside and he quickly got up and went back to his room. But he left the door open slightly so he could get a good look at her. She came stumbling out with her cloak wrapped around her. She stumbled to the courtyard and Riku followed her. She stood in the middle and looked around.
"Why am I here?" She asked herself.
"Because in order for me to obtain my full form again I must have the other half." Kaxet said in a voice mixed with hers and another… But who…? Who was that other voice? Riku recognized it only he couldn't place his finger on it.
"Will I be free from you once you obtain a new body?" She asked bitterly.
"Maybe. You might just be strong enough to take the transfer. But then again maybe you'll die." Riku looked on in amazement.
"Why do you torment me with those dreams?" Her voice still had so much bitterness in it.
"It makes you stronger. I must have a strong body to live in!" Riku this whole time thought he heard something saying these same words in the back of his mind. It was so strange. What was going on? He didn't understand it all. Kaxet looked around still with tears in her eyes now.
"So I shall never enjoy life to it's fullest? Is that what you're getting at?"
"It may be. You never know what the darkness might use you for. If you get lucky you'll become a lifeless puppet and I will control you."
"Then I don't want to be lucky…" She said walking back towards her room. Riku crept back to his room feeling defeated in some way. He crawled into his bed and stared at the ceiling for a long time before he fell asleep.
Kaxet fell into her bed and buried her face into her pillow. Why did she have to go though all this? Why her? Why couldn't it have been some one else? Why couldn't…. She then fell into the most peaceful and restful sleep she would ever have…
