Chapter 1: Names
A/N: Hey everyone! Here we are with the next installment of the 'A Trail of Memories' series! Now we start the story of Hikari's nobody, and how she fits in the Organization.
Just for the record, I'm not going to write the whole game. I'll just focus more on the important parts of it. Otherwise, this will get really long and I won't be able to start 'A Trail of Memories 2'.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, just my Oc's.
Enjoy!

Pitiful Heartless, mindlessly collecting hearts.
And yet, they know not the power they hold.
The rage of the keyblades releases those hearts.
They gather in darkness, masterless and free.
Until they weave together to make Kingdom Hearts.
And when that time comes, we can truly, finally exist.

Out near Twilight Town's mansion, two lone figures stood in front of the old rusty gates.
One of them was a girl while the other was a boy.
The boy had spiky dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. He wore a black, high-collared jacket with a star like zipper. Over it, he wore another jacket that was unzipped and white with several black block designs and a grey hem on the end of each sleeve. The jacket's collar was red and pleated and folded back. He wore two different colored pants .The legs of his pants were beige with several buttons on the hem while the other half was black. His shoes were colored in shades of grey and black with red laces. To top it all off, he wore a wrist back with a black and white checkered board pattern on his left arm while he had a plain black and white ring on his left middle and index finger.
The girl next to him contrasted with him greatly.
She had jet black hair that reached her shoulders and covered the right side of her face. She had emerald green eyes. She wore a blue tube top that had a strap covering her left shoulder. She wore black baggy pants that had three belts criss-crossing her waist that were different shades of blue. She had black combat boots with light blue laces. She had long, fingerless gloves that reached to her elbows, yet one was longer than the other . The one on her right arm reached her elbow and was a medium blue while the one on her left went over her elbow and was a darker blue.
The two of them looked like they were in a daze as they stood there.
Just then, a portal opened up and a cloaked figure walked towards them.
The stranger appeared to be male, due to its body structure.
He looked at the two them.
These were to be his new pawns.
He looked at the boy first.
"You seek answers?" he asked.
The boy nodded.
The cloaked man smirked.
"I can give you purpose"
He waved his hand out in front of him and had the word Sora appeared in front of him.
The letters mixed around until the man summoned up and X and placed it in the middle of the words.
The word Sora became Roxas.
The boy looked up at the word.
"Roxas" he mumbled.
The cloaked man nodded.
"That is right-the new you" he said.
He looked at the girl.
"And what of you? Do you seek answers as well?"
She nodded.
She was looking at the ground the whole time.
The man walked over to her and faced her.
"Let me see your face" he ordered.
She did so, and slowly looked at him.
His eyes widen slightly when he saw her face.
"You're-"
An evil grin appeared on his face.
"This is interesting" he said.
He held up his hand.
"I have a special name for you"
He waved his hand and summoned up a few words.
They weaved to create the girl's new name.
She looked at the words when they were finished.
"Ankoku" she muttered.
The man smirked darkly.
"That's right" he said.
He opened up a portal.
"Axel will be your mentor for the time being" he said.
"He shall be here soon to get you"
With that, he left them to travel around town.

Roxas and Ankoku walked aimlessly though the town.
They had no idea where they were and they had no idea who this Axel fellow looked like.
Heck, they didn't even know who they were.
It was as if they had just woken up for the first time.
Ankoku was in a daze as she walked.
She looked around the area without really paying any attention to her surroundings.
As she was walking, she got separated from Roxas.
She walked around the market place and bumped into people that she passed by.
She really didn't say anything as she walked.
She really didn't know how to.
Just then, an image appeared into her head.
She saw a certain area of the town, where a red head wearing a black cloak was at. He was standing with Roxas and appeared to be searching for something.
When the vision cleared, she started walking towards that direction.
Even though she didn't know where she was at, she let her instincts kick in.
She kept walking towards her destination, not really caring who she bumped into.
At one point, she bumped into a young woman and staggered a bit.
The woman grabbed her by the shoulders to steady her.
"Whoa, easy there"
Ankoku looked up at the person that helped her.
She appeared to be in her early twenties and had long black hair that was tied into a pony tail, with two long strands framing her face. She had deep purple eyes, that they made her face almost pop out.
She wore a greenish-gray tank top with a dark brown one underneath it.
Around her neck, she wore a yellow crescent moon necklace.
She had long fingerless black gloves that reached past her elbows and had two separate dark green kimono like sleeves that were tied on with brown straps.
She wore dark grey caprice that had opening on the sides to reveal dark brown shorts.
To top it all off, she wore black and white high tops.
The woman looked at her worriedly when saw the dazed look in Ankoku's eyes.
"Are you ok?" she asked.
Ankoku didn't know what to say to that.
She really didn't know what she was feeling.
When she didn't say anything, the woman tried talking to her again.
"What's your name, honey?"
Ankoku almost spoke like a robot when she said her name.
"Ankoku"
"Ankoku" the woman repeated.
"Ok, Ankoku. Are you searching for someone?"
She nodded.
"Who would that be?"
"Roxas" she said in that same robotic voice.
The woman looked around the area.
"Do you know what this Roxas looks like?"
Ankoku nodded and gave her a description of what Roxas looked like.
The woman gently grabbed her hand.
"I'll help you find her" she said.
"By the way, my name is Tsukiko"
Ankoku looked at her.
"Tsukiko" she repeated.
Tsukiko smiled.
"That's right"
The two of them walked around the town in search of Roxas.
When they got to the place that Ankoku saw in her head, she stopped.
Tsukiko looked at her.
"What's wrong?"
Ankoku looked at her.
"Roxas. Here" she said.
Tsukiko looked around the area.
There wasn't anyone in this part of town.
"I don't see anyone" she said.
Just then, someone placed their hand on Ankoku's shoulder.
"There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you!"
They turned around to see a rather familiar red head.
Axel was breathing heavily as if he had ran the whole time.
Roxas stood a little ways behind him.
Tsukiko's face lit up when she saw him.
"Axel!" she cried.
She smiled at him.
Axel returned the smile.
"Hey, Tsukiko" he said.
"I see that you found one of my stragglers?"
Tsukiko looked at Ankoku.
"She said she was looking for someone named Roxas, so I decided to help her" she said.
Ankoku walked up to Roxas and stood next to him.
She didn't say anything to him, but she just wanted to be near a familiar face.
Axel ran his hand through his red hair.
"Well, you saved me quite a bit of time" he said.
"I might as well take them back with me before they get lost"
Tsukiko nodded.
"Take care" she said.
Axel opened up a dark portal.
"Alright you two, fun time is over" he said.
He pointed towards the portal.
"Time to head back to the castle"
He pushed them through the portal and took them to a large looking castle.
As Ankoku looked at the castle, another vision came into her head.
This time, it was about her wearing the same black cloak that Axel and that man were wearing.
As they were walking, she didn't realize how twisted her life was going to be.

A/N: I know it wasn't much, but I thought I'd introduce to you all the newest characters to the series.
I assure you, Ankoku will get better as the story progresses.
She was just 'born' after all, so she doesn't know how to react to things yet.
Please update and tell me what you think.
