A/N: This is just a ficcy I thought up while Rping and it sounded really cool. Yeah yeah another future story in KH. It's not the same, I hope. From Riku's POV mainly unless I change it. Riku's about… 22.

Chapter 1: After All…

Riku Sighed as he looked about the streets of Traverse town as he and an unfamiliar girl sat on a bench. He was lost in his thoughts and the girl next to him didn't seem… normal. "Riku-san… are you alright? You seem a little out of it… what are you off in lala land again??" The girl grinned as she teased the older boy. He smiled slightly. He had programmed her to act like Alex… to carry her soul on. After her death. Her death, Something that hurt Riku in his heart, for Alex had been a little sister to him. And when he had come back he had found out that she had died soon after they sealed the door.

Riku had been distraught by the sudden news and gone back to a place Alex spent most of her time. He found that she was working on something. Aside from her studies of heartless and how they came to be and what not, the girl had been making something. A robot or a humanoid or something. The being was un-programmed but it had a striking resemblance to what Alex may have looked like at about 18 years of age. He soon had given it a personality and programming and finished up the bot. It was a near perfect replica of his friend except…the ears. They weren't human ears but it seemed to be something Alex could not improve. But at least he'd be able to tell the difference.

"Riku-san… answer me," Alex said as she poked the elder in the cheek. He flinched and blinked, lost then glanced to her, "Sorry.. I was thinking again." "I could see that…" she responded, "so how long do you plan to stay here?" "Until we're ready to go find the others…" The silver-haired man replied calmly. The humanoid nodded.

Another thing to worry about. Finding his friends, which he hadn't seen since the door had been sealed. What had become of them? He sighed and stood, "Let's get ready… we're leaving soon…" The girl nodded and stood as well. They walked off.

"Take care of her…"

I didn't just mean Kairi… I meant Alex as well; after all she did love you Sora…

"I… just want to find someone… someone just for me… and the heartless can't stand in the way of that, You know what I mean?"
I know what you mean Alex… You were so young and naïve, not aware that everything you knew was going to be ripped from you. Or did you?

"There is something strange about these worlds. They're far too perfect. I will find out the truth. Where the heartless have come from and more importantly… where we came from…"
Those entries… She knew what she was getting herself into. But she didn't know she'd die from it. She was just like her dad, curious about what she didn't know and paying the ultimate price in the end. At least she died knowing the truth…

"Riku?" The sudden female voice ripped the man out of his thoughts as he looked to the seemingly 18-year-old girl walking beside him, "Yes Alex?" "Did… Did I die… for no reason?" "I… don't know…. It would help if I knew how you died…" Riku responded. She looked deep in thought then sighed heavily, "I'm sorry… I do not remember that far back. My memory database was not active then…" "It's alright Alex… We'll find out sooner or later… right now let's focus on the task ahead…" "Alright then…" With that the two walked off… One had changed much over the years while the other… would never change.
