[A/N: So this is the beginning to the sequel to Dearly Beloved. I originally wasn't going to post it until tomorrow, but hey why not post it tonight? I plan on this story being a bit darker then Dearly Beloved since Juliet had her heart corrupted, but I won't give away too many spoilers. Reviews are appreciated. Enjoy the chapter!]

Erik was staring intently at Juliet while she unsteadily rose to her feet. He looked down at her clothes and frowned. "No, no that won't we're going to have to change how you dress." Erik was walking in a circle around her and reached over to tie her hair back in its usual ponytail. "Better, but the dress just won't work. It makes you look too innocent."

Darkness enveloped Juliet who was holding very still. When the darkness faded she was wearing a black tank top that crossed over her breasts and exposed her stomach, black shorts that went down to her knees, black boots that went up the rest of her leg, and a long black sleeveless jacket.

Erik walked another circle around Juliet looking more satisfied. "Much better….now show me your Keyblade."

The Keyblade appeared in her hand.

"Very good. Now let's see what you can do. Follow me." Erik opened a dark portal and walked out of it with Juliet close behind.

The fight between Akio, Clementine, Puck, and Antonia was still going on with Puck and Antonia being the ones to get tired. Akio knocked Puck away when he saw Erik, but he wasn't the one who caught his attention. "What did you do to Juliet?"

Erik glanced down at Juliet then back at Akio. "I've made a few improvements. You'll notice that her eyes are a different color."

"Its not that you changed her clothes too. Those clothes are too skimpy."

"What's the matter Akio? Afraid that your so called woman is going to attractant someone else's attention?" A thoughtful look came to Erik's face. "Oh, before I forget Akio there is something important I need to discuss with you."

Akio raised an eyebrow. "As much as he didn't trust Erik he was feeling curious about what it was that he wanted to talk about. All right what do you want to talk about?"

"You've been wondering who your user is, yes?"

"Yes."

"You're looking at him."

Akio's eyes went wide as he looked Erik up and down. "What? No, no you can't be serious. You programmed me?"

"I did indeed."

"You're lying."

"I'm not."

"Then why I don't remember you?

"Because about fifteen years ago I was in Radiant Garden and came across the computer in Ansem's castle. I was tinkering around on it when I came across a program creator and thus I created you. I spilled my guts to you about what I was doing in the other worlds and then I deleted your memories. Don't take it personally, but I couldn't really have you going around spilling my secrets to every program you came across."

Akio was still staring at Erik with a look of complete shock on his face. "You…..you son of a bitch. And I'm not just saying that because of what you did to me, but because of what you did to Juliet."

Erik rolled his eyes. "I don't remember adding nobility or swearing into your program. But now that you know who your user is wouldn't you like to come with me?" He held his hand out.

"Screw you."

Retracting the hand Erik didn't look like he was terribly surprised by Akio's decision. "Fine, I gave you an option and now you're going to have to deal with the consequences." He looked down at Juliet. "Get rid of them."

Juliet looked up at Erik like she hadn't quiet understood what he'd said.

"Did I stutter? I said to get rid of them…..now."

Clementine could feel her heart begin to beat faster as she looked up at Juliet. "Juliet, remember who we are? Its Akio and Clementine. We're your friends you don't want to hurt us do you?"

It didn't look like Juliet had understood what Clementine had said and aimed her Keyblade at the two of them. She didn't give them any time to react before she sprung at them.

Puck and Antonia who had been standing off at the sidelines were cheering enthusiastically.

Akio threw his disk at Juliet which hit her in the shoulder, but it didn't seem like she'd noticed this. "Juliet, what are you doing? We're your friends. Why are you attacking us?"

Erik had a rather smug smile on his lips as he watched. "Have you not yet figured it out? I corrupted her heart. Now she's mine to whatever I please with."

Juliet turned her attention to Clementine next and nearly knocked her off her feet. She continued to assault Clementine with blows to the head before she turned her attention to Akio.

"There should be a gummi ship around here somewhere if the two of you want to leave. I don't think you have a chance fighting her."

Akio and Clementine exchanged a look before darting off down the tower steps.

Juliet looked like she was going to go after them, but stopped and looked back at Erik for guidance.

"Let them go for now. They're of no use to use to me right now." Erik summoned a dark portal and turned to walk into it. "Come along Juliet. We have work to do."
