Hoshi-sama here! My first story on fan fiction... I hope you all like it!

Yuki Aminewaru, that's my name all right. At least... I think it is... I can't quite remember anything else. You see, I'm sorta inside this place that I don't even know. Signs and flyers say that this place is called Twilight Town. For some reason that strikes me as familiar, but I can't quite place it...

-Flashback- (a/n: The story before Yuki lost her memory)

"Yeah! Take that, losers..." I grinned evilly as my fingers pounded the buttons on the controller to my PS2. Currently, I was making Sora rip through the army of heartless on the mountainside in the Land of Dragons. I love using the reaction command 'sparkle ray'. It's just fun to see a gigantic beam of light destroy everything. It doesn't even use Sora's energy! Ah, good things come in small packages...

I jumped when a sudden sharp knocking came at my door.

"Yuki, Go to sleep already! You have school tomorrow, and Shina was going to come for you at six, so be ready to get up early!" Was heard muffled through the door. I sighed and paused the game momentarily.

"Yes, mom..." I quickly went through the after scene and shut the game off. Thank goodness tomorrow was the last day of school for the week. Smiling inwardly, I got into bed and fell asleep.

"... Needed..."

I looked around in the darkness, feeling my face turn into a frown.

"W-who said that?" I spun around, feeling my eyes frantically looking for the source of the noise in the eerie shadows.

"..Your skills are needed by them."

I stood there for a moment, the person's words registering in my brain.

"...My skills? I don't know what you're talking about..." I peered around me still, searching for this mysterious person when a small hole of light appeared from under me. I blinked and shielded my eyes from the bright light; it was going to give me a headache. I never was one for the light...
"Do you remember... Your staff?"

Okay, now this was too weird... What the heck would I do with a staff?

"Okay, stupid dream... must wake up..." I closed my eyes and pinched myself, feeling pain tingle under my skin.

"... So this isn't a dream... Unless it's a very lifelike dream..." I hissed and backed away slightly as the hole of light got bigger, and soon a wide area was lit up. As I unshielded my eyes, I saw a small stone pedestal in the center of the area, a staff with a sharp blade with intricate designs on the end. In the center of the blade was a mystic-looking blackish purplish gem. I cautiously walked up to it and touched the flat surface of the blade.

"... Do you remember?"

I ran my fingers over the hard cold metal, over the engraved designs.

"... Remember...?" I mouthed to myself quietly, my brain being fried under the pressure I was putting on it to find out what this voice was talking about.

"... Saddening... Time is running out though, you must go there."

I blinked and looked up and around me. "Huh? What do you mean, 'go there'?"

"You will forget everything of this world, save for your name, age, and of the fact that your staff exists... They await your help..."

I backed up as the light below me started to grow cracks in them. I quickly grabbed the staff and jumped to the side, the floor below me breaking away piece by piece. I screamed as I started to plummet into the darkness below me.

-End Flashback-

I walked along the street, the warm air blowing my raven hair around my face. Watching children run along the street towards a small area by some steps, I can't help but let my curiosity get the best of me. I mean, isn't it at least a bit intriguing to see a bunch of people gather into one spot? I think so...

As I made my way towards the cluttered people, I saw a white ball fly into the air. I blinked as a boy jumped into the air and did a numerous amount of strikes at the ball, sending it even higher. I smiled softly; so it was a street performance... I made my way to the front of the crowd and watched the boy carefully. He seemed somewhat familiar... Just like the name of the town... I looked at the ball as it descended towards the ground.
Did I live here at some point? Oh well... The ball popped as it hit the ground, everyone erupting into a large applause for the teen. He sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck as a girl walked up to him. Of course, I couldn't hear anything, but she handed him some money. I smiled to myself as I saw the girl leave, but then the boy glanced up at me. Those eyes... They looked so familiar. A dark, ocean blue... The boy smiled and started walking up towards me, and I looked around nervously. Yep... he was coming towards me... Crap, did I ever say that I'm extremely anti-social? He reached me and held out his hand.

"Hey, I don't believe that I've seen you around town before. Are you new here?"

I nervously shook his hand and nodded my head slightly. "Erm... Good question... I guess I am sorta new here."

He blinked and tilted his head at me, a confused expression on his face. "You guess? Well, that's strange... My name is Roxas, by the way."

I smiled slightly at Roxas. "My name's Yuki..."

"Well, Yuki. I guess I'll see you later, I gotta go meet my friends somewhere."

He waved as he started to run up the sloped street. I shrugged and turned around, heading nowhere in particular.

"Sure, whatever..."

I started to walk away, stuffing my hands into the black Cargo pants I was wearing when I came to. Strange kid... Roxas, I think it was... Yeah, Roxas. For some reason, he kept on popping into my mind. Now I'm really curious as to why he seems so familiar... I know I didn't meet him anywhere. I'm sure of it... I blinked and stopped in my tracks, for I just realized something.

"Where the heck am I going to stay...?" I mentally cursed myself and ran into an alleyway that led to a large part of the town. There was bound to be a hotel somewhere in here... I sighed, finding no sign of a hotel or inn in sight... Hah, I just made a pun! I spotted a group of teens and what seemed to be a kid along a wall a little ways away from me. I sighed inwardly and mentally slapped myself. It's time I suck up my pride and start asking people for some help... I nervously walked to the group as the girl noticed me. Strange... She hade silver hair and red eyes... Interesting. She pointed at me and her stare never left me... It was getting creepy.

"Outsider..."

Everyone else looked at me and I blinked, feeling a need to run away as fast as I could. Of course, I went against my impulse and waved meekly.

"Um... Hello. D-do you now were I can find an inn or something...?"

The guy with the hat looked at me and crossed his arms. Rather arrogant, if you ask me...

"Who are you?"

I blinked and thought of numerous ways to punish him... Of course, I could probably never follow through with any imagined punishment.

"Uh, I-i just arrived from another town... My name is Yuki."

The other guy, who was rather built, put his hands on his hips. "Man, we never get outsiders here, y'know?"

The guy in the cap held out his hand and smirked. "The name's Seifer... That's Fuu," Seifer pointed to the girl with white hair, "this is Rai, and that's Vivi." He pointed to the small boy after saying his name. Yuki shook Seifer's hand briefly and looked at the group anxiously.

"Um... Well, do you know where I can find an Inn or Hotel?"

Seifer shook his head and gestured towards the town. "This town never gets any visitors, so no one bothers opening up any hotels. Your outta luck here."

Yuki sighed and slumped her shoulders, nodding and glaring at the ground. "Oh... Well, that sucks for me..."

"So I take it you don't plan on living around here?"

Yuki thought for a minute, her brain thinking of the best way to respond. Ah, what the heck, the truth never hurts!

"Well, truthfully... I don't know what I'm going to do. I can't remember anything, so I'm working off of nothing here... Well, I guess I'll catch you guys later. Gotta think of something before it gets too late."

Yuki turned and started to walk off, completely ignoring the group behind her as she racked her brain for anything. Rai scratched the side of his head and turned towards Seifer.

"Man, she was strange, wasn't she?"

Seifer nodded in agreement and they watched the depressed raven-haired girl saunter away.

Sitting on top of the station tower, I stared out at the sky with a rather peeved expression on my face. I mean, I wake up to find that I can't remember a damned thing! Unless you count my name and age... And something about a spear... Hmm, what a random piece of information to be stuck in my head... I sighed and took a deep breath, laying on my back to see four pairs of eyes looking down on me. I yelled in surprised and jumped up onto the ledge, almost losing my balance when one of the people grabbed my hand.

"Whoa! Watch it there, you're going to fall off if you keep that up." I looked behind me to see the ground dangerously far from where I was.

"Y-yeah... Thanks." I turned and saw Roxas keeping me on top of the tower, along with three other people I hadn't met before. Too many people in one day... I think I'm going to get a migraine. Roxas smiled as I hopped off the edge, letting go of his hand.

"Erm, it was Roxas, right?" I sheepishly rubbed the back of my neck. Another one of my downfalls... Bad memory. I guess that's why I can't remember anything. Roxas smiled and nodded.

"Yeah. Oh, hey, these are my friends. Hayner, Pence, and Olette."

With each name, he pointed at them, Hayner nodded towards me, Pence smiled, and Olette waved happily. I nodded my head and smiled.

"Uh, hey! My name's Yuki... Well, I guess I should be going now, don't wanna ruin your day..."

I went to walk away, but someone grabbed my arm lightly. I turned and saw Olette smiling happily.

"Oh, come on. You can stay if you want to! It's such a pretty view from here."

I looked around hesitatingly, but gave in and nodded. Sitting back down on the ledge on the left of Olette and the right of Roxas. Boy, this is going to be interesting... Everywhere I go I run into people... I mean, I thought I would be one of the only people here crazy enough to climb onto the ledge of a tower! Guess not though...

"So, Yuki... Where do you live? I mean, we've never seen you around before."

I sighed, for once again; I had to talk about my homeless status... Man, I must sound like a hobo at this point.

"Well... Truthfully, I don't remember anything past ten minutes ago... Well, except for my name and stuff like that... I must sound pretty strange, right?"

Hayner leaned back on his arms and laughed. "Well, that's an understatement..."

I laughed slightly as well, and rested my head on my hands, watching the town below me.

"Well, nothing I can do about it now. I don't remember if I even live in this town, so I don't know if I have a home or anything... Sucks to be me."

Olette turned towards me with a surprised look. "Then where are you going to stay! You can't stay out here during the night, it's not right."

I shrugged. "I don't see the problem in it. I mean, it's not like some creep would try to take me or anything."

Olette tilted her head at me. "You should stay with one of us! I can't let you stay at my house though because my parents are away..."

I shook my head and waved my hands frantically. "N-no! I'll be fine, really! I don't want to intrude on you guys or anything. It wouldn't seem right to just come with one of you guys... and plus... It would seem... awkward for a girl to just sleep at a guys house, you know?"

Pence laughed and nodded his head. "Yeah, our parents would freak out if they found out that some girl wanted to stay with us."

Hayner nodded in agreement, I sighed inwardly with relief. I surely didn't want to sleep in some stranger's house... Especially if they were a guy. Roxas leaned back on his hands and shrugged.

"You could stay with me if you want. I don't have any parents..."

I blinked and looked at Roxas, who was just staring out into the sky. I shook my head and smiled slightly. Poor kid...

"I-it's all right. I don't want to impose on you or anything..."

Roxas turned towards me and smiled. "It's okay, really. It's not like we can just let you sleep outside."

I sighed, having a feeling that this would end in their favor no matter what. I need to work on my persuasive skills...

"Okay... if you insist..."

Roxas led me towards a series of apartment complexes. All of them seemed the same to me though... bright and blinding from the twilight. I blinked back a couple of tears as we stopped in front of a door. He made a strange face as he searched for his keys in his many, many pockets.

"I Think I put it in this pocket... Okay, maybe this one...? Ahh... Got it." He grinned and unlocked his door, leading me into a dark entrance. I smiled as I saw the plain room around me. I never did like anything to showy, so this was perfect. Roxas turned
towards me and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Ah... I don't have any extra rooms... So I guess I'll sleep on the couch and you can have my room."

I shook my head and smiled genuinely. This guy just couldn't make me my usual indifferent self... "No, I'm fine on the couch. I shouldn't even be taking up space and imposing anyway."

Roxas opened his mouth to protest, but I didn't give him the chance as I plopped down on the couch. Looking at Roxas with a smile, I waved and chuckled. "Thanks for letting me stay here... It really means a lot."

Roxas nodded and started to head down a hallway that branched off of the entrance. "No problem." Roxas then left, but shortly returned, popping his head into the room. "Oh, I forgot to tell you... The bathroom's all the way down the hall, and my room is on the left. Just shout if you need anything."

I nodded as I felt my eyelids drooping on me. Geez, was I that tired...? I only woke up who knows how many hours ago... Hmm... I wonder if I'll remember anything in the morning... Yawning, I let myself start to fall asleep. Yay, darkness...

--

"Ugh..." I felt someone gently shaking me. Cracking one eye open, I saw Roxas grinning at me. I blinked back the remaining sleep and yawned as I sat up.

"... Good morning..."

Roxas smiled and nodded. He had a really excited expression on his face. "Yep. So... Have you heard of the struggle tournament?"

I blinked and tilted my head. It did sound sort of familiar... Wait! I know... All of those flyers posted all over town... "I've heard about it... but I don't know what it is exactly. Why?"

Roxas grinned at my response and started to help me up from the couch. "Oh, it's awesome! Every year people sign up to fight against each other. I entered with Hayner, so we were going to head over to the sandlot. Wanna come watch?"

I grinned along with Roxas. His smile is very addictive for some reason... It rather bugged me that I didn't feel as bored as I had before I met him. "Sure, it's not like I remember anything I was supposed to do..."

Roxas nodded and started to pull me along and out of the house at a fast pace. "Good! We have to hurry though or we'll be late."

I laughed and started to follow Roxas past the people wandering the streets. They looked at us momentarily but seemed to brush off our rudeness. Good thing too, for confrontation during a rush isn't a pretty sight... Fighting isn't exactly the way that I like to go, so I was glad that everyone seemed so... mellow? I guess that word fits... Roxas started slowing down as we came to a huge area with an arena-like structure in the middle. I spotted Pence, Hayner, and Olette as Roxas led me to them. Olette and Pence smiled at Roxas and I, saying their 'hellos' before Roxas and Hayner had to go up. Hayner seemed pretty irritated towards Roxas for some reason. Was it something from the day before? Who knows... Roxas turned towards me and grinned. "Root for me?"

I shrugged and grinned. "I dunno..."

He lightly punched my shoulder in mock offense and laughed. "Well, see you after I become the Struggle Champion!"

I nodded as Roxas watched Hayner from the side. "Don't beat them too badly!"

I stood by Pence and Olette as Roxas and Hayner made their way to the arena. Olette and Pence seemed really excited for the struggle match, so I expected a really interesting competition. Looking at the contestants on the arena, I picked out Seifer from the day before, as well as Vivi and some tall guy in... Light purple? I'm not sure what kind of a message that sends to you, but he seems to swing the opposite way if you ask me... I shook my head and focused on the current fight.

My eyes widened in surprise as I saw everyone but Roxas and Hayner leave the Arena. So they pitted them against each other... Not exactly a fair match up. I shrugged it off and watched as Hayner charged towards Roxas. Roxas only dropped a few of the orbs he was given at the beginning of the match and quickly recovered by striking at Hayner three times. He collected the various orbs and danced around the stage as Hayner tried to land a hit. He eventually struck Roxas in the back, making Roxas stumble forward. Man, it would have been the perfect opportunity for Hayner if he weren't caught up in collecting orbs... Roxas took this opportunity to jump up and strike back at Hayner four times before Hayner was sent across the arena. I heard Pence and Olette cheering beside me and remembered I was supposed to cheer for Roxas... Lovely memory 'o mine. I filled my lungs with air and yelled as loud as I could. "Go, Roxas! You can beat 'em!"
