A little fic I made up in the shower. :3

Own Kingdom Hearts? ME? As if.


A girl lay on the ground in an alleyway, unconscious. She stirred every now and then, but didn't awaken. She was having horrible nightmares, including her friends and horrible, horrible deaths. One of them, for some reason, also included a pickle. She was there on the ground for a few days until one of her dreams woke her up.

"Roxas... Don't do it... DON'T PRESS THE RED BUTTON!" She shot up, awakening at last. She looked around and wondered where she was. Wasn't she supposed to be dead, erased from existence? She was a bit scared. Wait a minute. Scared? How was that possible? She wasn't supposed to have a heart! She stood up and took a few steps. Her legs were a bit wobbly, probably from lack of use, but she could still walk. She left the alley and saw a large sign that said "TRAVERSE TOWN". Well, at least she knew where she was now. She wondered around the town for about an hour or so, until she heard a familiar voice.

"Dude, I swear! Frisbees really can break bones if you throw 'em hard enough!" "Yeah, yeah." The girl knew that first voice, she knew it very well. She ran over to the source of the voice, rounded the corner, and she saw him. His back was turned to her, but she knew that hair anywhere. Wait a minute. Wasn't he supposed to be much taller? And older? Now he looked about her age. He was also standing by another boy, but she was concentrating on the back of the red head before her to pay any attention to the other. So many thoughts were racing through her mind, mainly how astonished she was that he was here too. Astonished, another emotion she shouldn't have. She wondered what to do now. They hadn't noticed her, so what should she do? She figured she might as well speak up, and she could think of only one thing to say.

He was still speaking when she finally spoke up, "Really, I could probably do it if I tried-" "Axel?" It came out before she knew it. The red head stopped his original sentence and said before he actually turned around, "It's Lea. Got it memoriz-" He turned around and saw who had spoken to him. His eyes widened, as did the girl's. He finally said softly, "You're...you're...Xion... You're alive...but I thought..." There was a silence that seemed to go on forever.

They were quiet for several minutes."Awkward..." said the boy that Ax- er, I mean, Lea, had been talking to. Xion, or whatever her name would be now that she was no longer a Nobody, finally noticed the blue haired boy. She recognized him, even if the X-shaped scar was gone.

"Saix?" she said.

"It's Isa now," he said, as he began to edge away toward a random bush, "Anyway, this is a reuniting moment for you two, so I'm just gonna..." and he slid down behind the bush.

"We can still see your hair you know," Lea pointed out to him. Isa silently slid a leaf up in front of the spikes of his hair. Xion (or whatever her name is now) giggled and Lea grinned. Lea turned to Xion (I'm just putting Xion, you should know by now that thats not actually her name anymore.) and gestured for her to sit down on a nearby bench. She went over to the bench and sat down, and Lea did the same.

"So..." Lea began, "Isa was right this is pretty awkward... Um, so... what happened? One day I was wondering what you and Roxas were doing, then all of a sudden, you were erased from all of my memories... But when I awakened here in Traverse Town, I suddenly remembered everything."

"Well," Xion began, "it's quite a long story, but if you really want to know..." So Xion told him everything that had happened, about Xemnas' plans for her, her fight against Roxas, her defeat, everything. During the whole story, Isa was silently listening behind his bush, leaf still held up in front of his hair.

"Wow," Lea said when she was finished telling her story, "It sounds like it was really tough for you."

"Yeah..." Xion said. It was actually a bit painful talking about some of her memories.

"I'm sorry," Axel said, "I should have realized that what was going on was harder for you and Roxas than it was for me."

"What are you talking about?" Xion asked him. She wasn't really sure what he meant.

"I'm talking about when I attacked you to bring you back to the Organization... I should have known that you wouldn't try to leave us without having a good reason... Sorry." Lea really was sorry. Xion could see that clearly. He was staring at the ground, looking as if he was about to cry or something.

"Nonsense!" Xion said cheerily, "I wasn't surprised when you tried to bring me back. Actually, I was kinda expecting it. If you or Roxas had tried to leave me, I probably would've done everything in my power to try stop you! You have no reason to be sorry."

"Really?"

"Absolutely!" Xion smiled and gave Lea a hug. "You know," Xion said to him, "You're a lot easier to hug now that you're the same height as me."

"Shut up, I woke up and I was like this," Lea said, obviously irritated by Xion's completely true statement. Xion giggled and Axel laughed. Afterwards they heard little sniffs coming from Isa's bush. The two looked at each other and quietly walked over to the bush.

"Isa?" Lea said slowly.

"That... was so touching!" Isa said teary eyed. He dabbed at his eyes with his leaf.

"...He's not used to having emotions yet, is he?" Xion asked Lea.

"Nope, not one bit. After all those years lecturing us about not having feelings, this came as a bit of a shock to him."

Isa calmed himself down and the three sat back down on the bench. "So," Xion said, "since I'm not a Nobody anymore, what do we do about my name?"

"Well," Lea began, "what-"

"Her original name was No. I," Isa answered before Lea finished his question, "Though I'm not quite sure how we could make a name out of that."

"Ok then," Lea said, "Um...I can't think of anything, so let's just stick with Xion."

"That's fine with me!" Xion agreed happily. Honestly, she like the name Xion. It sounded cool.

The three sat on that bench and talked through the night. When it got dark, Lea and Isa showed her the empty house they were illegally staying in. She agreed to stay there since there were several rooms and they wouldn't all be stuck in one room. And that was Xion's awakening.
