Kingdom Hearts: Forgotten 4/20/14

Hi…so for those of you who read the original version of this story I'm sorry. I reread the original version and realized it wasn't anything I was planning on it being. I left out a lot I had planned on putting in the story. So I'm redoing it and I am putting way more TerAqu in the second chapter. Yep so I'm really sorry. I don't know why I rushed the first version, so hopefully this will be a lot better. Let me know what you guys think. I wanted to post this a long time ago but homework and family matters kept me from writing so I hope I get this up soon. Also this came out to be 25 paged long so I hope you like it.

Xion = Hi

Roxas' thoughts = 'Hi'

Normal = Hi

Talk = "Hi"

Forgotten

Clang

Clang

Slash

The evening sky, the place where a bright yellow, scorching red and calm orange would dance among the clouds, calm and tranquil but at the same time blazing and alive.

Clang

Clang

A clock tower towering above a train station, the place where kids would constantly come to get the renowned Sea Salt Ice Cream, a place constantly visited by travelers.

An old mansion hidden deep in the woods, its old, black, Iron Gate keeping trespassers out, the place where many ghost stories took place.

Cobble stone pathways, worn out from the constant use of the residences of the world, constantly traveled by my friends and me.

Tall orange buildings lumbering over your head, buildings that are constantly used as the residence of shops or homes, the place where the little old lady who sold the ice cream and the kind man who sold accessories spent their days.

Clang

Clang

Boom

Town kids running through the street, laughing having fun, living the lives me and my friends could only dream of. A life of hanging out, eating ice cream and spending our days meeting up on the clock tower we so cherished.

"Is that all you got?"

Memories of me and my friends having fun filled my head. Memories that hurt

Clang

Memories of Axel saying a joke, while Roxas and I laugh to the point that we would nearly fall off the clock tower.

Boom

Memories of sky blue eyes and spiky sandy blonde hair and emerald green eyes and fire red hair.

Clang

Memories that I will never regret having, even if they forget everything once I'm gone, even if the memories are erased from their minds the memories will live on.

"XION!"

Memories of my best friend, with tears rolling down his checks as he clutches to my crystalizing body whispering my name as the last of my essence fades away.

(^o^)~~~~~~~ (^o^) ~~~~~(^o^)

At first all I could comprehend was darkness. Swirling, cold darkness that seemed to cover my body like the cloak I wear every day.

Where am I? Is it over? Am I really dead? I though Nobodies didn't have anything left behind after they died, not just physically but spiritually to.

Axel once said that we didn't have souls, that only humans did and when they died their souls went some were, however Nobodies don't have souls, so we shouldn't have an afterlife. So if there is no after life for us then were am I? Is this Sora's heart?

And is this really what death is like, being stuck in a dark space with nothing to do?

I didn't understand how I could be here, where ever here was, or what I was doing here. All I knew was that I should be dead and Sora should be one step closer to waking up.

I hope this isn't some kind of punishment, did I do something wrong? I don't want to spend whatever time I have left in a void of darkness.

I looked around to find that I was alone. Nothing else was here except me; I looked all around but could see nothing else but the gloved hands I held out in front of me, and the Organization cloak that I usually wore.

I couldn't find a form of light anywhere so I didn't know why I could see myself. If this was just darkness then how could I see black clothing?

Ok this is odd, I can't find light anywhere but I can see myself perfectly as if I was out in the sun.

Eventually I tried to turn myself upright; if I wasn't upright in the first place, it's hard to tell in a place with no obvious center of gravity. My cloak just seemed to float around me so I couldn't tell if there was a center of gravity.

However just as I was starting to get the hang of moving around a blinding pain shot through my head, expanding all throughout my mind, reaching out to every corner it could get to.

My head felt like it was about to explode, I tried to scream but no sound came out of my mouth. My entire body started to curl into a ball as the pain intensified.

What's going on? This pain, I have never felt anything like this before, not even when I was having my fainting spells.

I clutched my head, pulling at my hair trying to distract myself from the intense pain. My body felt like it was closing into itself, and my cloak seamed to provide no warmth as a cold chill settled over my body.

The pain kept increasing more and more, at this rate I may just die from the pain. I kept trying to scream, yet no sound would come out.

Then slowly all the pain started to disappear and darkness suddenly faded, and a burst of color suddenly surrounded me. Dark and light colors filled my vision as if the space in front of me was a canvas and the color was paint being thrown on by an invisible painter.

The color swirled around me, flying past as it headed toward its destination.

I have the craziest life, first the whole deal with the Organization and the heartless, and now I have colors floating by me. It is official I have gone insane.

The colors continued their strange dance, many of them vanishing back into the void, however other colors increased in amount: blue, purple, red, yellow, white, silver and grey.

Eventually the color settled and started to form a picture. A city at night, rain pouring down and neon signs glowing in the distance. A giant white castle and a heart shaped moon lumbering behind it.

And it is official I am insane, why would flying colors suddenly fit together to form The World That Never Was if I wasn't going insane.

Why? Why did I have to see this? Out of all the things I could see why the world that was home to the people that had tormented me? Maybe that was it, the time I spent in Organization messed me up so much that I am now going to be tormented by the very place I have come to dread. (1)

Why can I not see Twilight Town or Destiny Islands or even Never Land?

The picture was huge, or I was just very small, either way everything was huge and made me seem like an ant. Things that I was normally taller than where now much larger than me, heck even the signs on the streets were now more than three times my size.

I was so taken up by the fact that I was so small that it took me a while to realize that the image was moving, the picture that had formed beforehand was swaying back and forth like a swing.

The picture was closing in on Memory Sky Scraper all the while swaying back and forth as is someone was holding it as they walked.

I looked all around me to see that the image was all around me as well as above and below me it was all around me. It was like I was walking down the street myself only I was too small and not physically moving. Basically I was in a giant sphere and the walls where the image.

I looked behind me and even though the image was providing light I could not see my own shadow, only the image.

Maybe I don't have a shadow, this place is already weird enough, having no shadow really isn't that shocking.

Below me was the black cement street, slick from the rain pouring down from the sky. Behind me was the same street that where once in front of me and as I turned around I saw that Memory Sky Scraper was still getting closer.

However as I turned to my left I was not faced with the other side of the street; instead I found my face staring at a full black area, and as I looked closer at this area I began to notice at different in shading and what seemed to be bumps or fold on the black area.

Eventually my vision was swung once again and suddenly the image wasn't completely black, instead I could see an end to the black area and once again see the street once again.

At that moment I realized that the black I had been seeing was actually a cloak, the Organization cloak.

The only question now was who was it? Thanks to that fact that everything seemed super-sized I was unable to judge the person's size, everything was way out of perspective.

As I continued to look at the cloaked person beside me I noticed a flash of white and yellow on their other side. Once the flash came back into my view I found myself looking at a long white and yellow colored weapon with a star shaped tip I wasn't able to spot the end of the weapon thanks to the fact that the cloaked person's body was blocking it from my view but I was pretty sure what weapon it was, considering no one else had a weapon like it.

A Key-blade!

So that narrowed it down the identity of the closed person to Roxas or Riku, but I had the feeling that it was not Riku, and the more I looked at the cloaked person the more he looked like Roxas. The curve of his shoulder, the way the person held himself, even the way he walked just seemed more and more like Roxas the longer I looked at him.

But why was I seeing Roxas right now?

Is this just an illusion or is this a vision of some sort?

And why am I so small; the ways I keep swing back and forth like the key-blade Roxas held in his left hand it was as if I was a key-blade my height was even to the Key-blade. I mean even if Roxas can wield a blade in both hands he usually uses his right hand unless the circumstance calls for his left hand.

But there is no way I could be a key-blade, I mean that is just too absurd, but then again people once thought that it was absurd to consider the possibility that people could live without hearts and hey look at all the members of the Organization.

But why would I be a key-blade? I should be rejoined with Sora right now; not in the grasp of my best friend's right hand, and Roxas can't even wield two key-blades, unless something after my death triggered his ability to wield two. After all I was always absorbing part of Roxas' power, so I guess with me gone Roxas gained the key-blade that I once wielded or something else happened.

But that still didn't explain why I was a key-blade, even if the blade was once mine I was never able to see through it before let alone appear as the keyblade its self. (2)

Before I was able to question my current situation any further the movement all around me halted.

Taking my eyes off of Roxas and the white key-blade I found myself starring at a giant hoard of Neoshadow Heartless.

Their lean black bodies surrounding Roxas in seconds; bring his blades up into a battle stance Roxas charged into the hoard.

It was weird observing a battle this way. My vision was thrown all around as Roxas slashed the Heartless into oblivion.

Oblivion

I was startled at the noise that suddenly filled my head; it was as if someone had just whispered the name within my head. I don't know what whisper meant, but I had a feeling it was important.

Suddenly Roxas started to run forward toward Memory Sky Scraper; that was now only a few feet from us. I didn't understand why, but as he started to scale the building and I saw why.

There at the top of the building stood Riku, hood down and staring down at Roxas, however he did not have his key-blade in hand.

As Roxas got closer to Riku I feat a strong wave of negativity over take me, suddenly I was feeling the emotion I had come to identify as the human emotion of hate.

Roxas. You really have gone through a lot haven't you? I wish I could have kept you from ever knowing this kind of emotions but I guess it was unavoidable with the kind of life we have.

I didn't know why but even though I didn't personally hate Riku, well not anymore. Originally in the beginning when we first fought and he called my key-blade, the key-blade that looked just like Roxas', a sham I felt negatively toward him.

However once I learned that I was keeping him best friend from waking, well even then I still disliked him, I started to think what it would be like if Roxas was put in a very long coma and the reason he wasn't waking up was someone else fault. And eventually I hated him less; he still wasn't my favorite person but I no longer had negative feelings toward him.

So I could only conclude that the feelings where Roxas'; if the key-blade is a weapon that is chosen according to one's heart then I guess that the feeling Roxas fells can be directed into one's weapon.

Coming out of my thoughts I watched as Riku jumped off of the sky scrapper, heading straight toward Roxas, weaponless. I felt Roxas' grip tighten, preparing to strike Riku down.

I knew why Riku was here, to take Roxas to Sora so Sora can finally wake up. I hated the thought of Roxas disappearing, I wish it only had to be me that disappeared that Roxas could continue to live his life, but I also knew that as long as Roxas existed the Organization would continue to come after him and that Sora needed to be woken up.

Even if Roxas could easily be the Key-blade hero, even if Roxas could easily be the one to save the worlds from darkness and not Sora; it still had to be Sora.

There was something about the boy, something that made him so different from everyone else, different from Roxas and Riku.

I didn't know exactly what, because I haven't meet him, but from the few memories of his that I have seen, even if they were his memoires of Kairi, it was because of how many people where connected with this one boy.

And if Riku was here to take Roxas back then Roxas was mostly likely here to go after Kingdom Hearts and the Organization.

I don't know why I told Roxas to go after Kingdom Hearts; I guess it was a spur of the moment thing.

I knew it would be a suicide mission, yet I set him on it anyway.

And now because of my request Roxas may die and Riku has to risk his own life as well.

Two of the most influential people in my life, Roxas being my best friend and the person I care for most and Riku being the one to show me the truth behind the Organization and my creation, may die because of me.

I always wanted Roxas to finally meet Sora; even if I didn't want Roxas to disappear I wanted him to meet the boy that allowed us to meet, but I never wanted him to meet Sora because he was forced to.

If Sora had never lost his memoires in the first place then I would have never absorbed them from Roxas and I never would have had the jump start that allowed me to form my own personality, my own self, and not just some puppet that the Organization created.

Namine once told me that I reflect Kairi and because there are memories of the girl Sora treasures, Kairi, are inside of Roxas, I became the girl treasured by Roxas. (3)

So thanks to those memories Roxas and I gained the relationship we did.

But at the same time it was thanks to the fact that we absorbed those memories that we must both be absorbed into Sora.

I wish there had been a way to extract the memories from us, if she was able to remove the memories from Sora then surly she could remove the memories from us without us having to disappear, but I guess with Diz breathing down her back and his oblivious hate for Nobodies she was unable to even consider the idea.

I can't let Roxas die here, but I can't let Riku die either.

So using Roxas' connection to the key-blade I was in I had Roxas throw my key-blade to Riku.

Still connected to Roxas for a moment after I was thrown I could see my key-blade through his eyes, black, grey and purple in color, the key-blade had a dark theme to it with bat wings for a handle and a strange pointed tip.

'Oblivion.'

The word, no name, was whispered in my mind once again and now I recognized the voice it was Roxas' the voice was so quiet the first time it was hard to tell, and now I realize that the word oblivion was the name of the Key blade that I must be right now. I don't know why but Oblivion just seemed like it was the name, it felt right.

Then I was ripped out of Roxas' mind a back to my key-blade.

I had to let Riku know that I needed his help.

So once he grabbed Oblivion I tried to connect to him the same way I did to Roxas, only this time I sent him all the memoires I had of him and hoped it would get him to remember me long enough for him to ask a favor.

Once Riku reached the bottom of the sky-scraper he turned to look back up at Roxas. From my position I could see Roxas drooped down beside him; the water on the ground splashing around his boots. Turing opposite directions the two proceeded to get rid of the remaining Neoshadows; they twisted and turned in unison. It was strange seeing them fight alongside one another; the way they fought, it was almost as if they had been fighting aside one another for years.

I wondered if Roxas' connection to Sora is the reason why, Sora would know how Riku fights since they have been going up against each other since they were kids, at least that's what Riku told me once.

So if Roxas had any part of Sora in him it may have allowed him to unconsciously know Riku's fighting style.

Once all the Heartless were defeated Roxas and Riku turned on one another; their key-blades at their sides. I felt the memories I had sent to Riku fade away.

I thought that they would have engaged in combat right off the start, considering Riku's eagerness to get Sora back, and how Roxas can get when he is angry.

I remember this one time Roxas and Siax got into a really bad argument, I think it was over something that Siax said about me, any way the argument started out in the Grey room and by the time it was over half of the room was on fire.

Siax had said a really snide remark to Roxas and next thing anyone knew Roxas had summoned his key-blade and was blasting firas at Siax. Of course it missed, Roxas isn't the best at magic, and the seat behind Siax caught fire, which caused Demyx to freak because he was in the seat at that time.

So we ended up with a very ticked off Roxas, a frustrated Siax and an on fire Demyx running around lighting the rest of the furniture on fire. The funny thing was that while all this was going on Luxord and Xigbar where making bets on how the fight would end and Axel was in the corner cheering Roxas on.

In the end Roxas got a week's worth of extra missions and had to report strait back to the castle after the mission was complete and of course Siax got off without any punishment cause he twisted it around to seam if he did nothing wrong.

That or Siax really is just Xemnas' little pet, or maybe there is a little club in the organization for yellow eyed members and we just don't know about it and because Xemnas has yellow eyes he is in the club and lets other club members off the hook.

Nope that can't be true Xemnas isn't exactly a join a club kind of guy he is a "create-an-evil-organization-and-trick-all-the-members-in-it" kind of guy. Besides if that club existed then Xigbar would get off the hook and he is constantly getting lectures from Siax for doing stuff he shouldn't.

When I finally came back to reality I realized that the two were fighting, well that's what I assumed, because I couldn't see a thing. The world around me was a complete blur. The two were fighting so fast that it was impossible for me to see what was going on.

Then everything stopped. Roxas was standing above Riku, who by the look of it had been literally nocked on his butt. Riku was losing, and Roxas didn't seem as if he was anywhere near backing down. I glanced up at Riku, slight worry filling me, don't get me wrong in the end I was cheering for Roxas but I didn't want Riku to get real hurt either.

Beads of sweat were trailing down Riku's face his, his breaths where short and jagged, at this rate he will pass out from exhausted before Roxas can strike him down. Roxas wasn't looking to great either, like Riku his breath was short and I could see sweat trailing down his chin.

His hood still covered everything except for the lower part of his head. They were both equally exhausted, but at this point it didn't matter; Roxas was the one standing up and Riku was the one sprawled out on the ground.

Raising the white angel like key-blade into the air Roxas prepared to strike Riku down, the key-blade came crashing down, and Roxas had been knocked back. Riku had been able to grab Oblivion and block Roxas' attack. The force of the block and Roxas' attack had knocked him onto the ground. Upon impact Roxas' head hit the street, and he didn't get back up.

Riku began to approach him, raising Oblivion into the air. I couldn't see his face so I had no clue what his expression was. (I couldn't feel his emotions like I can with Roxas, I guess it's because we have a greater connection to one another.)

Panic began to fill me.

Roxas can't die… he can't. If he does then everything would have been for nothing. He has to live!

Riku brought the blade all the way up, and threw it.

And to my relief I found myself looking at Roxas beside me; Riku didn't he kill him, why?

Riku didn't do anything he just stud there watching Roxas, and to my relief Roxas started to stand, granted he was gasping out in pain while doing so but the fact that he was getting up at all was a good sign. I could see the shock evident or Riku's face as Roxas stood and grabbed Oblivion.

My vision distorted once again, Roxas had slashed at Riku, but still missed as Riku jumped backwards; Oblivion just grazing Riku's coat.

Realizing he missed Roxas sliced at Riku once again, he shot up into the air and brought Oblivion down on Riku, Oblivion's crown shaped tip heading straight for Riku's skull.

Responding faster then I imagined possible Riku brought his hands up and shot out a Plasma Ball. The radiant white blast of light came into contact with Oblivion and for a moment my vision went white, as Roxas slashed right through Riku's attack.

Landing on the black street once more Roxas slashed at Riku, but once again Riku just jumped backwards once again.

'How come it's so hard to hit this jerk?'

Roxas' dislike for Riku seemed to grow greater every second; at this point it was really more like hate.

'Why won't he just quit?'

Looking up at Roxas I could see confusion and shock reflect in his eyes, and I could see his lips moving but something seamed off. The look that came across his face was different it just didn't seem like Roxas.

It was almost as if for that split second he was someone else, he wasn't the Roxas I grew up knowing. Not as if he was showing emotions he didn't show often but as if he simply wasn't Roxas.

Roxas said something but I couldn't tell what though. Riku responded to whatever Roxas had just shouted at him. And Roxas' anger spiked once again.

'I am me, nobody else.'

Roxas... That's why he is so mad. Riku must have mentioned Roxas being Sora's nobody, or something along that line. Man why can't these two just chat and get through their problems calmly. I swear these two's temper is going to get them really killed one day.

Roxas charged at Riku and this time his attack connected, and Riku was left kneeling on the ground his hands held up in front of him to block any more on coming attacks.

Roxas looked down on Riku and for a moment dread overcame me, this was it Roxas was going to strike down Riku and Sora may never wake up.

I can let that happen I can't let Riku die and Roxas has to meet Sora himself he needs to see that it is Sora we must rely on to fix our mistakes, since we will no longer be there to do that.

So in that split second before Roxas could decide to strike down Riku I spent all my energy trying to reconnect to Riku, trying to send him a message he had to receive. I tried to concentrate all my energy into one spot and then filling power actually start to build I sent it over to Riku my thought contained within the energy.

Riku you have to stop him!

There! I felt my soul, being, whatever you would it, connect to Riku and I felt my message ring throughout his mind right before I was sucked back into my place inside Oblivion.

The effort that it took to even send that one thought to Riku took a lot out of me. My head felt light and my legs weak, at this rate I was goanna pass out; beads of sweat where rolling down my forehead.

My vision started to faze in an out, and right before I passed out I could see a strange looking man above me, with an older looking face and long silver hair a large Heartless floating beside him, he had Roxas' body clenched the Heartless' hands as it squeezing the life out of him.

Roxas!

I had to let him know. I had to say good bye to him. Oblivion had faded away so my connection with Roxas was almost gone.

So once the man dropped Roxas I used the connection we had left to tell him.

I told Roxas that he shouldn't be sad, that this was bound to happen and that the memories we shared wouldn't be gone, they would continue to exist inside Sora. I looked at him one more time, this time from in front of him, he was passed out on the ground but that didn't matter. Roxas was ok and with one last smile I looked at him one last time.

And my world faded to black.

(^o^)~~~~~~~ (^o^) ~~~~~~ (^o^)

When I finally regained conciseness I found myself back in a large dark space, my body once again floating in a void of seemingly nothingness.

Why is it so quiet, where am I? Am I finally dead or is this just another vision?

Is this the place where I am goanna finally end up?

A scorching pain filled my chest. It hurts; right here in my chest it hurts so much.

Is this what Axel called heartache?

Xemnas always said that I can't feel anything that none of us ever could. But if that was never fully true was it? Roxas constantly showed anger and worry back when we were in the Organization. And if that was never really pain we felt if the anger I felt from Roxas not so long ago was fake, then why does it seem so real.

When I think back to before I was absorbed, back to when everything just seemed so easy and there were no worries I feel warmth engulf me, but at the same time I feel cold. I guess this really is what it feels like to be happy and sad.

If Xemnas wasn't lying when he said we couldn't feel then he just had no idea what he was talking about back then. He was probably so closed minded that even if he did feel emotions at one point he would probably just write it off as something else; probably as Kingdom Hearts showing some of its power.

Ha as if.

I feel happiness because I'm thinking about my two best friends and the days we spent together. The times where we would just hang out and talk like there was no tomorrow or train together

I actually feel sad because I know that those times are most likely gone forever and that I may never see them again. Roxas and Axel shouldn't even remember me and all the times we had together.

Roxas' memories should definitely be gone.

That man that was chocking Roxas right before I passed out was probably Riku, he had the same silver hair and no one else had been there except for Roxas and Riku.

So Riku most likely should have taken Roxas to Sora and Sora will finally wake up. And since Roxas would have passed out, all the effort he was putting into remembering me would disappear and the memories of me would disappear.

Even if those memories still exist, will they ever find their way back to Roxas and Axels hearts? I know those two have hearts their too special not to; maybe I have one too and that's why I'm feeling this way. I know everyone said that it was me and Roxas that where special but Axel was also special not because he whiled a Keyblade or had no memories of his past, but because unlike most nobodies Axel is one of the few I think actually regained his heart.

I hope that someday where ever they are Axel and Roxas regain their memories and maybe they might come looking for me and I won't have to be alone forever.

No, that's too selfish if they regain their memories of me, but never find me they maybe sadden. But then again maybe they won't care at all.

I love Roxas and Axel, but even if we are best friends that doesn't mean they don't hate me for what I did.

Roxas probably hates me for forcing him to kill me. I know that at that point he was sadden it didn't take a genius to figure that out. I just hope he is ok. That he finally comes to terms with rejoining with Sora, and learns at least some of the truth behind everything.

Axel, I guess he was what people would call an Older Brother figure to me and Roxas. He was always there for us and always helping us out. But if Roxas does not willingly rejoin Sora and something happens, and Axel ever remembers me and learns that it was I who asked Roxas to go to Kingdom Hearts and was the cause of Roxas being taken; he just may hate me for it.

But I don't want them to hate me it may be selfish but I don't want to lose my older brother and best friend forever. I want to hand out with them again and spend the entire time talking and eating sea salt ice cream and finally going to that beach world "Destiny Islands".

I just hope those two are alright. Maybe Roxas will meet Namine and she will help him find his way to Sora. I'm sure Namine would help him even if she does not remember my request to do so. Roxas is her brother so I hope she would help him out, even if they have never really met before. (4)

And maybe Axel will meet up with Roxas and maybe they along with Sora and his friend, Riku and that girl form Destiny Islands that looks like me, will find a way to keep Roxas and Axel from fading away, but maybe they won't. Roxas still has to join Sora in order for him to wake up. So maybe he will end up here just like me. I hope not I don't ever want Roxas to have to be stuck in a place like this. If I had to think of somewhere for Roxas to end up I would have to say maybe a peaceful place, where he can be happy.

Suddenly the darkness started to disappear and a chilling wind started to surround me. The darkness started to bleach to white and the wind started to warm up. I could start to see the outline of my cloak as the light started to disappear; heat started to flow over my body. The darkness slowly disappeared and soon I was bathed in warmth and light.

What's going on? What's happening?

The speed of the wind increased, or maybe it wasn't the wind moving but me. I had to close my eyes as the light became to blinding for me to look at.

Then all of the sudden my body stopped moving, and I was thrown forward. My feet stumbled across solid ground and I tumbled down to the ground, landing on my stomach.

A puff sound could be heard once I landed and I started to choke as small grains of some hard material filled my mouth as I breathed in. Spitting out the material I found it tasteless and annoying as my efforts to remove it from my mouth seamed futile, the material only moved around to the back of my mouth.

The light that I could see behind my eye lids slowly disappeared. As the darkness behind my eye lids returned I felt around me, my gloved hands clinching the grain like material as I felt it slip from my hand and fall back down to the soft ground below.

I sat up on my knees, the material falling out from the areas in my cloak. My hood felt heavy with the material stuck inside. I lifted my hands above my eyes to shade them as I slowly opened my sky blue eyes. The first sight I saw was the blinding color of orange.

Then slowly my vision focused and I could make out a sunset before me, a glorious mixture of red, yellow and orange. Below the disappearing sun set a sparkling sea, the dark green and blue water seamed to dance as the gentle waves washed against the shore and the sunsets' light reflected against the water. The ground below me was actually sand, I was on a beach.

Slowly my hearing returned to me and the first sound I could hear was the waves hitting the shore. As I looked up above me I could see where the sunset ended and the night began. The sky started to shift from the vibrant orange and red to a cool purple and blue and a pink color meeting them in the middle. The numerous clouds floating above turning colors that reflected the sun set. The world was on its way to night, but still had some time to go before it got there.

Twilight, was always my favorite time of day. It was the time where Axel, Roxas and I would meet up on the clock tower at Twilight Town Station. The time of day that always meant time with my friends and no Siax or Xemnas no ruin our fun. I swear those two spent their entire nonexistence ordering people around, reciting poetry about the "Great" Kingdom Hearts, or messing with Roxas or me. I never really got back at Siax for always calling me a "Broken Poppet" or "Useless Doll".

I stood up slowly testing my legs, making sure I didn't fall over because of the extremely lose ground. I wobbled at first, nearly falling down again, but I regained my balance and finally took a chance to look behind me.

I was surrounding palm trees, and old wooden structures that looked like tree houses with rope and wooden ladders leading up to the upper parts. I didn't have to look any further to know where I was. However if I had I would have seen the famous Paopu Tree that was covered in its famous yellow star shaped fruit that was said to connect peoples destinies when they shared the fruit. I was on Sora's home island Destiny Island, the world I wanted to come to so badly with Roxas and Axel.

Excited I looked around hopping to find anyone, someone to talk to. But as I franticly looked around the beach I didn't see anyone, the beach was empty, and I was alone, again.

I have to admit that it was better than being stuck in that void of darkness or whatever it was but I still wished that I wasn't all alone. I looked around to see if I could see any of the surrounding Islands but neither they nor the mainland was in site.

I guess this is another part of Sora's heart.

(The Dark area of Sora's heart is literally that; the area of is heart where is darkness resides. Xion is a being of darkness so when she started off in his heart she started in the dark area. Destiny Island is the light area based off of Sora's memories. Xion saw her vision in the dark area because Roxas is also a being of Darkness and Riku has a large amount of Darkness inside of him. I thought it would be weird if she had the vision on Destiny Island so I came up with the idea of the dark area.)

Oh great, I'm stuck on a deserted Island with no one in site in what I presume is Sora's heart.

Starting to burn up from the heat I bended over and took my cloak off over my head; the rest of the sand on the cloak pouring out. I was left in a low black tank top with black pants and the organizations' signature boots. I took off my gloves and cared them with my cloak.

Walking over to one of the many sand covered platforms on the island I sat down, placing my cloak beside me. Above me palm trees provided shade, it felt good to finally rest, I was still feeling the after affects from my fight with Roxas. My bruises and cuts may have healed, but my mussels were still sore from the fight. My arms started to feel heavy as the fights affects fully kicked in.

Looking to my left, there a small waterfall fell into a mini pool, the cool water looking inviting. Tiredly getting up I slowly walked across the sand to the pool. Once I was there I kneeled down and lowered my hands into the water; the cool water felt good against my skin. Scooping up some off the water in my hand I took a small sip to see if it was drinkable. Finding that it was indeed fresh water I proceeded to dunk my head into the pool.

I took some of the water into my mouth to help remove some of the remaining sand. Coming back up, I spat the water off to the side, finally removing the last remnants of the small graining material. My smooth, short cut black hair was plastered to the side of my face. Small streams of water feel down my face and onto my neck and tank top.

It felt so good to finally really cool off. If I had another pair of clothing I would have gone swimming, but I didn't want to get my only clothing soaked in sea water.

Sitting down by the pool I proceeded to watch the sun set. Observing the changing sky my mind started to drift off to the time before all this happened.

I started to remember this one time Roxas and I were sent on a mission to Agrabah, it was from when I was still new to Axel. Roxas had introduced us only a few days beforehand.

(^o^)~~~~~~~ (^o^) ~~~~~~ (^o^)

We were sent to the desert world to destroy a small amount of Heartless that had suddenly appeared, for some reason that week Heartless appearances had been slow and few.

When we arrived the heat had instantly hit me, it felt like a cannonball of heat had just smacked right into me. Meanwhile Roxas was fine, for some reason the heat seamed to never affect him. The town was covered in sand thanks to the resent sand storms that meant that the citizens of the city spent most of the time inside avoiding the storms, and it was less likely that we would be seen.

The sand wasn't as bad as usual and thankfully the wind was not too strong so the sand wasn't blowing into our faces. However that didn't keep the sand from getting in our cloaks. We first appeared near the gate to the city, and unfortunately there was no Heartless in sight, so that meant that we now had to search the entire city for the Heartless and maybe the Cave of Wonder too.

We split up when we reached each area of the city Roxas taking the right half and me taking the left, but even then we didn't come across a single Heartless. We went all over, on top if the canopies, under the large wooden structures that were being used for reconstruction and still nothing. I didn't want to spend all day looking for the creatures, even if I enjoyed hanging out with Roxas I couldn't stand this worlds heat.

Could I even enjoy anything? Doesn't that count as an emotion? If it did then why did I get a strange felling whenever I was with Roxas? I, we, can't feel anything, right?

Anyway we had almost gone through the entire city and still no signs of any Heartless, no destroyed platforms, structures covered in small claw marks, nothing.

If Siax's tip had been off and there really was no Heartless on this world today then I was going to be….what did the humans call it, angry? Yea I was going to be angry at Siax.

I much rather spend my day at Twilight Town, then Agrabah.

Eventually we made it to the entrance of the palace, the large stone gates loaming over the buildings below it. There in front of the gate was the swarm of Heartless, a mix a shadows, soldiers and other common everyday Heartless.

But I guess it really shouldn't had been a surprise but we found the swarm in front of the palace gates; the Heartless always seemed to have a strange liking for the gate, like something they really wanted was just beyond it. (5)

Charging at the swarm of pure and normal Heartless, Roxas and I proceeded to slice them to pieces; the hearts they contained floating away to the growing Kingdom Hearts. They swarm although large was a week batch if Heartless. They only land small hits or scratches to us, nothing a small cura spell couldn't cure.

We finished them off quickly the last one fading away. Just as the last one was gone the gates to the palace began to creaked open, the large stone structure cause a wave of sand to fill the air as it slowly unlocked.

Shooting each other a quick glance Roxas and I darted to cover, the Organization would be mad if we were seen.

We quickly ran to the buildings on the left and high jumped on top of one of the canopies and climbed up the last few feet to the top.

Hiding on top of the roof of one of the large buildings, we watched as a girl with long wavy black hair and a revealing green top and pants walked out, Jasmine.

Roxas noted how Xigbar said that the girl was royalty, most likely the one who lived in the palace seeing as how she always came from the large structure. Walking behind the girl was a black haired boy, who was wearing rags and a purple vest, Aladdin.

The two of them seemed to be talking about the sand storms that had been raiding the town.

The talk wasn't something we hadn't heard from the two of them before; Jasmine was insisting they get someone called Genie to help with the sand storms, while Aladdin kept saying that they needed to deal with the storms themselves.

Jasmine, giving up on the argument, turned to head back into the castle, however before she could leave Aladdin grabbed her arm.

He told her that he was sorry, but then asked something really strange; he said that "He was wondering if he could get a goodbye kiss."

Kiss, what was a kiss?

That's what I had been thinking at that point and I was pretty sure that was what Roxas had been thinking to.

Jasmine then leaned in toward Aladdin's face and presses her lips against his check.

Roxas and I had exchanged a weird glance at one another, we had never seen the action before and at that point didn't understand what the action meant, and I still probably didn't fully understand it today.

Aladdin started to head back out into the city after Jasmine was finished "kissing him". From above we could clearly see a large smile on his face.

"Roxas."

"Yea Xion."

"What do you think that was all about? I have never seen a kiss before, and Aladdin seemed to enjoy it. Why would he enjoy having her lips on his check?" I questioned as I looked at Roxas, who like me was lying down on his stomach, watching the seen below us as it had unfolded.

"I don't know I have never seen this before either. I guess we could ask Axel, he knows everything so he should know about kissing." Roxas replied as he sat up.

"Yea, Axel will know."

I stood up and started to jump down from the building, landing on the canopies below then jumping down to the ground. Roxas landing beside me as a small poof of sand surrounded us. We started to head back to the portal that brought us here.

(^o^)~~~~~~~ (^o^) ~~~~~~ (^o^)

Roxas and I chatted about random things as we headed back, nothing really particular just stuff about the Organization members and the different residences of the world's we have gone to. We basically did everything to keep from talking about the kiss.

Once we entered through the portal the dessert world disappeared and was replaced with a passage way made out of swirls of purple, black, blue, and green. There was no visible floor as we walked through the vast space. The lack of floor caused me to form a headache; it was a little over whelming trying to comprehend the fact that I couldn't see anything beneath me. It made my head spin.

Coming out of the Corridor of Darkness we found ourselves in the Grey Area. The area empty of any other members, either they were all still on their missions or in their rooms. We decided to go ahead and head to Twilight Town, we didn't want Siax to suddenly appear and make us write a mission report.

Roxas made a new Corridor of Darkness and we headed toward Twilight Town, this time however I grabbed onto Roxas' cloak and closed my eyes that way my headache, which faded away after we got into the Grey Area, wouldn't come back and I wouldn't get off course.

Arriving I opened my eyes and let go of Roxas, looking at him I noticed a slight red tint to his cheeks.

"Roxas, your cheeks are red!" I said in shock, getting up close to Roxas and looking intensely at Roxas' face. "Are you ok?"

"X...Xion, what are you doing?

"I'm trying to figure out why your cheeks are red. Oh, they have gotten redder." I said looking even more closely at Roxas' face his bangs brushing against his reddening cheeks. He started to stumble backwards as I leaned closer toward his face.

"It's probably from the sunset, or from the fight we just finished."

"But that was already a while ago and your cheeks weren't red then, and it's funny seeing your face such a color." I said as I leaned backwards on my heels smiling, his expression was just too funny.

"Dose it really matter, I mean if my face stays red then we can get it cheeked out but for now can we just get ice-cream, please." Roxas said nervously.

"Xion is so close, I can't take it. There is a strange feeling in my chest and my face feels like it is heating up."

"Ok, let's go get some ice-cream."

After we ordered two sea-salt ice-creams from the little old lady at the stand we headed up to the top of the tower. Sitting down in our usual spots we began to watch the sunset. The Sea- Salt Ice Cream tasted really salty for some reason; maybe the lady had just messed up a batch.

"Xion you need to eat your ice cream, it's starting to melt." Roxas said looking at me; the red color had already disappeared from his face.

"Oops!" I looked down at my ice cream to find that it was indeed melting it was almost at my glove. Reaching down I licked the melted ice cream off before it got down any further. Blah, it's still really salty.

Looking back at Roxas I saw that he was once again gazing at the sunset. He looked at peace; it was good to get away from all the problems of the Organization.

"I wonder what's taking Axel so long?" I looked toward the entrance to the tower the staircase's entrance hidden on the other side of the tower. A large ring rang through the air, then another and another and so on. The large tower bells that where behind us and off to our left and right were swaying back and forth as their sound filled the air. The sun shinned off the two bells, giving them a golden gleam. The rings where twenty in total; eight a clock P.M.; it was getting late.

"We should probably head back soon; Axel is not coming to day." Roxas said finishing off his ice cream, mine however was only half way done, and that was only because it had been melting.

"Hey Roxas before we leave… um could I ask you for a favor?" I asked my voice shuttering part way through.

"Sure Xi, what is it?" Roxas had pocketed his Popsicle stick; once again it wasn't a winner stick.

"Um... I was wondering if we could…maybe try kissing. It's just that Axel isn't here and I'm really curious as to what it's like." I asked nervously, looking down to the cobblestone street below.

I looked up to find Roxas staring at me, the redness had returned to his cheeks. I felt something wired, my stomach felt like it had little wings in it, flying around.

"OK, I guess that's ok. There shouldn't be anything wrong with it right?" He asked in a quiet tone. "No I mean it's just a kiss on the cheek and it didn't do anything bad to Aladdin." I quickly replied.

This is so weird, I feel weird and for some reason Roxas and I are having trouble talking. What is wrong with us? Is Axel playing a prank on us, maybe he cast a spell that makes it hard to talk, well there is the spell silence but you can't talk at all if you cast that spell so I guess it's not that. Maybe I should ask Demyx, he may not be the brightest but I can't ask Axel if he is behind this then he wouldn't tell me. And the others are either weird or mean. Oh, this is weird; please don't let anything weird happen.

Roxas looked away and started to rub the back of his neck, it too was red. "Well yea, but Aladdin is human, and we are not. What if it does something bad to Nobodies or something happens."

"I guess that's true, but if anything happens we can always go to Axel right?" I turned to find Roxas really close to me, too close.

How did he close that space so fast without me noticing? He is really close. My face feels like it is on fire.

"Yea Axel should know what to do if anything goes wrong."

"Yea…ye…"

We really didn't know what we were doing but we slowly started to lean in, and before we knew it our lips brushed each other. It wasn't much just a slight touch, yet it felt so different than anything I had ever felt before. The wings in my stomach were flying around my stomach and I felt a smile spread across my face.

We slowly looked at each other and suddenly both of our faces became as red as Axels hair. Separating, we both turned our heads away.

Bringing my hands up to my face I felt the heat threw my gloves.

I can't believe we just did that! Whatever that was, ok we kissed but it was completely different then I thought it would be. I never thought it would feel so good. But it was just supposed to be a kiss on the check why did we kiss on the lips!?

I hope Roxas doesn't get mad.

Gathering myself together I looked back over to see that his face was still red and he had this weird look in his eyes.

(He is kind of in shock; you know first kiss and all. Also I didn't intend for it to be a kiss on the lips, I just took a break between righting this part and forgot that it was supposed to be a kiss on the cheek till I went back and reread this part. Is this too weird I have never written romance parts before. I'm still new to writing so sorry if this isn't that good.)

"Um… Roxas you ok? Sorry that we did that I didn't mean to."

Roxas seemed to come out of his gaze. "What! No it's ok. There was nothing wrong with it. I was just kind of… shocked you know. I have never done anything like this. That's all." He started to stand up.

Following Roxas' example I stood up and finally remembered the ice cream that I held in my left hand. I couldn't let it go to waste so I finished it off and found it actually rather sweet, rather than the salty taste it had before.

We walked over to the staircase that would lead us to the train station below. I didn't really know what to say to Roxas but I knew there was something we had to agree on.

So I stopped before we fully reached the stairs.

I tapped Roxas' shoulder and he turned to look at me. So finally getting up the guts to speak I asked him. "Hey Roxas, can you promise me something?"

"Sure Xi, what is it?"

"Promise you won't tell Axel about the kiss. I have a feeling that he would tease us."

Roxas laughed at my question and I thought that I had done something really bad by asking that, but Roxas just smiled and replied, "Only if you promise not to tell him either."

Feeling relieved I put my pinky up and Roxas connected his with mine. We had seen other kids do this once when they made a promise.

And at nearly the same time we both said, "Promise."

(^o^)~~~~~~~ (^o^) ~~~~~ (^o^)

Coming back to the present I came to realize that the sun had nearly set, and it would start to get cold soon.

I would need to get inside if I wanted to avoid the oncoming cold. I remembered seeing a treehouse nearby, so I could easily us it for shelter.

But would it even get cold here, it's Sora's heart so it may not get cold. But then again everything has been just like the actual Destiny Island, so maybe it will get cold.

I got up from the small place I had made in the sand; gathering up my stuff I walked across the heated sand to the over used walk ways and ladders that lead up to the tree house. The walkways and ladders were beyond worn out, but were smooth and splinter free because of the overuse and storms weathering it out.

Walking up the ramps and stairs I came to the single ladder that went up to the last stretch of walkway. Slinging my cloak over my shoulder and putting my gloves back on me I climbed up the ladder and reached the top in no time. Once I pulled my self over and got to my feet I headed over to the tree house. This was some path way to a tree house had the people that made it never heard of just a ladder.

Getting to the hole that lead to the small room I leaned in and found that it was the same as the tree house on the actually Destiny Island the only difference was the person that was laying off to the side. He was facing the wall and seemed to be asleep.

He had this weird multiple layers on and this weird armor covering his left arm. He had spiky blond hair, but the thing that got me was he looked exactly like Roxas.

I knew that Roxas' face wasn't exactly one-of-a-kind considering Sora also had the same face, but the two always had different hair styles and personality, but this person looked exactly like Roxas right down to the few strands of sun kissed blond hair that fell in between his eyes.

Of course this wasn't Roxas; even if he was asleep I could tell that his personality wasn't going to be the same as Roxas'. He just didn't have that same feel to him, like he was more innocent then Roxas and that was saying something considering how much Roxas and I didn't know when we were born.

I didn't wish to disturb him so I went to the opposite wall of the tree house and laid my now clean cloak onto the ground. Lying on top of the cloak I looked at the wooden ceiling and drifted off into thought.

(^o^)~~~~~~~ (^o^) ~~~~~~ (^o^)

Eventually, long after the sun had set and a sky full ok thousands of stars and a full moon had filled the night sky, the boy awoken.

He didn't seem to notice me at first; however once he did he let out a surprised shout. His expression was beyond funny and left me clutching my stomach as I laughed.

His expression was just like Roxas' and when he spoke I found out that his voice was also the same as my best friend's.

"It's not funny! You surprised me; I didn't think anyone else was on this island but me. And on that note who are you and how did you get here?" he asked in a shocked and surprisingly kind tone.

I was happy that he was friendly, I had a feeling that he would be but I couldn't be sure until he woke up and it would really stink if he had been unfriendly. How unlikely would I be if I was stuck on an island with no one to talk to but a jerk?

"I don't know how I got here; I assume though that I am here because I was absorbed by Sora. As for who I am I am my name is Xion and I am a Nobody." I said as I sat up and leaned against the wall.

"Hey, there is no need for you to be so hard on yourself. You're not a nobody; I mean nobody is a nobody. Ok that sounds confusing." He said as he let out a small chuckle.

Shaking my head I corrected him, "Not nobody with a lower case n; Nobody with an uppercase n. I'm a Nobody." I stressed the N in nobody.

Seeing the confusion spread across his face I sat up and started to explain.

"Nobodies are a race of creatures that are born of darkness and don't have a heart. I'm not the only one there are several others and most of us look like odd white creatures but there are others that are human-like like me."

He still looked a little confused and slowly leaned into my face, looking me in the eye. The moonlight from outside did supply some light, but not nearly enough to see in great detail.

"So how were you alive if you don't have a heart? How does your blood flow if you don't have a heart to pump it?" He asked with curiosity clear in his voice.

It was funny how over time I came to learn about the other emotions and how to spot them yet my entire life Xemnas kept saying that emotions were beyond us.

"I am certain that I was once alive seeing as how I have memories of that time, and I don't know how our blood would flow only that it does. We aren't creatures of light so that may affect our bodies and somehow let our blood flow, I have never given it much thought before."

He back off as I realized an important piece of information that I forgot to ask him.

"Hey what's your name? It's only fair that you tell me yours since I told you mine."

"Yea, wouldn't want you to have to go around the island calling me 'you' or 'hey you' or 'guy' the entire time. My name is Ventus, but you can call me Ven." I both laughed at the thought of calling him 'guy' for the entire time we will be here, which will probably be a while.

(I'm trying to be a little funny here but I don't think I'm doing a good job. Ugh I'm too insecure I feel like Hinata from Naruto.)

"Well any way Ven what brings you here? How did you get mixed up in this whole mess?"

"Well long story short my friends and I made some mistakes and but the worlds at risk. We attempted to fix our mistakes and only delayed the damage, and our attempts to do so left us pretty messed up. My heart was greatly damaged and I had to merge it with Sora's so I wouldn't die. I don't know what happened to my friends but I assume something pretty bad, since I'm still here." His eyes had a distance look in it, a look filled with regret and sadness.

I felt bad for him, I knew that look to well I myself had experienced it in the later part of my life.

And I had a feeling Roxas experienced it to, I hope he is doing ok.

"I'm sure things will get better. Sora and his friends are doing their best to fix the worlds and in time you to will be free, maybe even someone like me will have a second chance. The key-blade hero will save you and your friends that I have no doubt about, if I wasn't so confident then I wouldn't have given up my life to wake Sora up from his yearlong slumber."

"If he wasn't what I have heard then I would have probably taken care of the worlds with my best friend. I know I'm no Sora, but Roxas he could have been in Sora's place instead and I would have stuck by him the entire way." I really would have, if saving the worlds allowed Roxas to live I would easily fought for their safety and in a since giving my life for Sora was my way of fighting to save the worlds. But the worlds need a hero of light; however Roxas and I existed in darkness, so we could never be the key-blade hero.

"Not trying to play dumb here, but since Sora is the key-blade hero and you wish this Roxas was the one instead then that means that you and Roxas are also Key-blade wielders, correct." He had this excided gleam in this eye as he asked me that.

"That is correct. Roxas wields the key-blade because of his connection to Sora and I wield the key-blade because of my connection to Roxas. We made a pretty good team."

"That's good to know, the key-blade wielders aren't almost gone. Quite some time has passed since my times as a fighter for the light. And it feels good to know that not all is lost. If your friend is still out there then I wish him good luck." Ven got really serious all of the sudden as he said this. It was as if he has suddenly aged ten years and I could see the experience shinning threw his sapphire eyes.

"Same here I miss my life before everything got complicated, but hopefully I will have a chance to visit that life one more time. And hey maybe while we are here we can spar some, I don't know if I still have my key-blade but sticks can be used as substitutes for now. And it would be best to not get out of practice."

I couldn't wait to see how Ven fought; it would be good to learn a new style. I didn't have many chances to spar with Roxas and I cherished everyone I got. Though the one time we were tricked into fighting one another I could I gone without.

Ven suddenly stud up abruptly, and started to head toward the entrance.

"Hey, do you want to know what my friends and I did every night, before going to bed? We would go out to the ledges of the cliffs near our training grounds and look at the stars. Aqua and I would sit down, while Terra would always stand up. He was always trying to be the tuff guy. He and Aqua were like older siblings to me and I think they might have had a thing for one another. I miss them."

Ven had a faraway look in his eyes as he said that, he was going through the same pain as me, having to go on knowing he may never see the people he cares about again.

"Would you like to go down to the Paopu fruit tree with me to watch the stars? It has been quite some time since I have had a friend beside me." Ven turned away from the opening of the treehouse and smiled at me as he said this.

I knew that he was suffering and trying to hide it.

Does nobody have a decent life anymore?

Ven really did have a good heart; he was already treating me as a friend even though we had just met not an hour ago.

Agreeing to join him I followed Ven back down to the beach. Before going back down I slipped on my cloak, the nigh air would not be kind to my bare skin.

(^o^)~~~~~~~ (^o^) ~~~~~~ (^o^)

The night sky really was a sight to behold. Even though I had seen many night filled skies in the World that Never Was the sky was never like this. The World that Never Was' night sky was more like darkness blocking out the light and the true sky. There never were any stars to see there only a heart shaped moon to fill the dark sky.

Twilight Town was just as the name said, always in Twilight. Halloween town and Beast Castle were always too filled with Heartless or creepy characters to enjoy the night sky.

However this night sky was filled to the brim with stars and a full moon that covered the beach in a silver glow. Without the main land there were no towns to hide the sky with lights. This place truly was amazing.

Ven and I hadn't said anything in a long while. We just sat on the tree looking at the stars above. Eventually though I decided to strike up a conversation with him; though it probably wasn't the best choice for a starter to a conversation, but I had to tell someone.

At first I thought about telling him that Roxas looked exactly like him. But I decided to tell him another day, besides this thought had been troubling me all day.

"I hope that if we ever do get out of here my friends still remember me." I told Ven as I continued to attempt to count the stars.

"Well why wouldn't they? There your friends they could never forget you." Ven said confidently looking at the constantly rising moon.

"If I'm right Roxas will show up here one day; he has to rejoin Sora eventually, and I think you guys would get along well. As for why I'm worried about my friends not remembering me... well you see my existence is technically made up of Sora's memories of Kairi, so when I died the memories of me should have disappeared from everyone who knew me minds. So if ever returned no one would remember me or any of the things we did together."

My voice became quiet sad as I imagined returning only for all my friends to turn the other way, for Roxas to not even know who I was.

"Well I'm sure their memories of you aren't completely gone. If they are your friends then I'm sure the memories are there their only hidden deep within their hearts. People say that we burry our most precious memories in the deepest part of our mind and in time those memories can be brought back out it just takes a little help getting out." Ven said looking over at me with a smile.

"Yea, I guess your right Ven. Thanks." I said turning my eyes to the millions of stars above.

No matter what if I'll always be Roxas' and Axels best friend. Even if it takes years for them to remember I'll find a way to help them regain their memories of the three of us. I will see days were peace is in our life once more, and we can laugh freely. And also go back to a world where Ven can see his friends again. And hopefully when if I do return I will find that I have never truly be forgotten by those I care for.

I hope you guys liked this. I took me around two and a half months to write and it would have been quicker but I had a lot of family and school thinks going on.

The reason why Xion was in pain in the beginning is because her soul became connected to Oblivion and doing so hurt. I didn't know if someone may question that.

Also sorry about all the author notes throughout the story, I can get really chatty. Which is ironic because I never talk at school, I'm just the kid in the background reading a book. That and I really want to know you guy's thoughts on this. I really want to write books but before I do I need to develop my writing and to do that I need people's thoughts on my writing style to change any mistakes.

I hope to hear from you guys. Oh and if anything is repeated in this story, like any thoughts or events, I'm sorry I have been working on this since the super bowl (The only reason I know that is because the night I started to rewrite this my family went over to a friend's house to watch the game and I was stuck upstairs, while they were down stairs, so I started to type this up.) And because I have been working on this for so long I have taken many brakes in typing this and may have repeated stuff by mistake. I tried to go back and fix any or the repeats I could find.

Also some words were replaced by the spell check on this, so some words may not be what I meant to put, I tried to find any of them though.

I'm going to start working on Aqua's now but it's going to take some time. I hope to have it up in the next month or two but finals are coming up so it may be longer than that. Let me know what you guys think and I will try my best to get better at this. I think I rushed the first time around because I was just too excited but hopefully this one was better than the first. Actually let me know if you guys want me to redo Aqua's I am planning to add way more into it, like what I did with this one but let me know what you guys think. And please review, I write faster if I have motivation so I might write Aqua's faster if you guys review.

Sorry for the long author's note I just needed to get this all out. And Happy Easter, I don't know if this will be up before the day changes but right now it's Easter.

The people who caused her pain are Xemnas and Siax, and maybe Xigbar. Would you count him as someone who hurt Xion in the game? Xemnas saw her as nothing but a tool and Siax saw her as a doll and treated her like trash. But Xigbar didn't really do anything except for that one time in Wonderland when he saw her as Ven, but I can't remember if he did anything, oh and the fact that he called her Poppet which is another form of Puppet so… I don't know if Xion ever realized that is what he was calling her the whole time. I need to replay the game; I have been working on Fire Emblem Awakening lately so I haven't played Days in a while.

Basically Xion is connected to Oblivion because it was once her key-blade and she is in between life and death right now so her soul needed somewhere to go and ended up in Oblivion. And since she is now the key-blade she can see everything around it. I didn't plan on doing this but I wanted Xion to see Roxas' and Riku's fight and this is what I came up with.

I think Namine is the one that said this in the novels if I am wrong and someone knows who said this please let me know.

No joke guys Roxas and Namine are twins. In the Days novels, which are amazing, Namine tells Xion that she (Namine) is Roxas' twin sister. Because both where born at the exact same time and get their DNA from the same person, Ventus. That is why Roxas looks like Ven and why Namine has blonde hair. Not trying to sound snobby here, I just found parts of the Days novel online and one of the paged I read mentioned this.

I'm referring to Jasmine; since the palace is her home and the Heartless love to eat pure hearts, they would gather outside the palace trying to get to her.
