Miyuki and the King walked into the Grand Hall. King Mickey was silent ever since they met up in the lift stop. He walked up the stairs to the platform and stopped when he approached Kairi. Miyuki followed.

"We can save her, too, right?" Miyuki asked.

"Only Sora can handle this." King Mickey said in a low voice.

"So where do we go from here?"

"Kingdom Hearts."

"Where is that?"

"The End of the World"

"What?"

"Yep. C'mon. We've got some preparations to do before Riku can get there." The King opened a portal and walked through. Miyuki walked in after him. They arrived at a desolate, snow-covered path. On the path were two extremely large, partially opened doors. The Kings eyes widened at them being open. He dashed for the doors. Miyuki wasn't sure of what to do.

"C'mon! We've gotta get in here and close these doors!" The King said calling for her.

She ran closely behind him. "What's in there?"

"Heartless. Millions. They need to be restrained." The King said.

"No problem." Miyuki said eagerly summoning her keyblade.

That's all. That is all I remember. Then next thing I knew there I was. With the rest of the Organization. I didn't remember any dark magic I might have learned, or what happened when the King and I were in Kingdom Hearts. I didn't even remember what happened to. . . him. . . .

"Hey, are you okay?"

Miyuki lay against the far wall of the circular room in the ruins of Ansem's Castle. She wore the dark Organization cloak over her usual heavy steel-plated shoes. "Yeah, I'm fine. What just happened?"

"You were talking about how this place brought back memories, even though you forgot what room this was. You touched the wall, summoned your keyblade and shocked yourself with your thunder attack."

"What? C'mon. You know I wouldn't do anything that stupid. I don't even know thunder attacks." Miyuki replied.

"Well you did. But when you did it you looked like you were forcing yourself."

"I wouldn't force myself to shock myself. If I wanted to shock myself, I would have openly done it."

"Whatever. So what kind of memories did this place bring back?"

"I was here, or somewhere close to here, when something happened. I don't really know what it was. It was really devastating. And that I was crying and someone promised me something." Miyuki said.

"You're lucky. Your memories are really yours. You aren't really a nobody."

"Your memories are your own, too. Just in a different vessel."

"Whatever you say Miyuki."

"So what's on the to do list today?"

"Nothing. I was just trying to see what you were doing."

"All I was doing was checking out the ruins of Hollow Bastion. But I'm pretty much done." Miyuki stood at looked out toward the town in progress. "I used to live there. They're rebuilding it, just like it was."

"I don't even know where I came from."

"You will. It'll all come back to you, Roxas. I promise."

"Yeah, I hope so, Hikari." Roxas said, offering her a hand up.

Miyuki grabbed his hand as he pulled her to her feet. "Hey where's Axel? Haven't seen him all day."

"I'm right here. Miss me, sweetheart?" Axel teased as he walked into the room with a handful of damaged papers. "Rox-as!"

"Ax-el." Roxas replied "What are you up to?"

"Trying to keep myself out of trouble. There's too much goin' on at HQ. What with Marluxia trying to overthrow the Organization." Axel said with a smile. "What's happening with you two?"

"Miyuki's taking a trip down memory lane." Roxas said

"It's frustrating. I have a heart, I'm not a nobody, but I can't seem to put two and two together." Miyuki said, folding her arms across her chest.

"Then why are you here?" Axel said softly.

"I don't remember. All I remember is you, me and Roxas were the best of friends." She said.

"You don't remember anything?" Axel said.

Miyuki shook her head.

"You don't? Are you sure you're not a nobody?" Roxas said.

"I remember bits and pieces. Like Xemnas, he said something, then directly after, I heard Axel, saying 'got it memorized?'. And I remember the name Xehanort."

"I guess you didn't." Axel sighed. "I told you not to forget what I told you. But I can't tell you what that was because I forgot, myself."

"Well then, it's hopeless!" Miyuki said with a smile. "But it's cool. 'Cause I'd rather be here with you guys."

"We could try to help restore your memories. Right, Axel?" Roxas said putting his arm around Miyuki's shoulders.

"I don't know, Xemnas may get wise to us just traveling around aimlessly." Axel said.

"So? If he's got a problem with it, we'll leave. We don't have to answer to him. No one is listening to anyone anymore. We can do as we please." Roxas proclaimed.

"Roxas? You can't just leave the Organization. They won't just let us waltz right out." Miyuki said.

"I'm not. We are." Roxas said.

"You are insane." Axel said.

"Yeah I know. I just wanted to see what you would say." Roxas said with a smile.

"Whatever. Hey Axel, what are those papers you got there?" Miyuki asked, trying to change the subject.

"Ansem's secret reports. There's a bunch of stuff in here." Axel said. "Junk about the heartless and Xemnas, well technically, Xemnas when he had a heart. Turns out his real name was . . ."

"Xehanort." Miyuki said flatly.

Roxas's head snapped toward her. "What'd you say?"

"Xehanort was DiZ's apprentice. He tried some tests for his heartless research on him. He ended up losing his heart. His heartless was the man who tried to take over Kingdom Hearts, Ansem the Seeker of Darkness. His nobody is Xemnas, the leader of the Organization." Miyuki said as if she were possessed.

"Are you okay?" Roxas said.

"I think so. Axel must have triggered some of my memory with those reports." Miyuki said.

"Maybe reading the reports will bring back some more." Axel said, handing her the heap of papers.

"Maybe." She said, taking the stack of paper.

"Great. She's regaining her memory and I'm still wondering who I am." Roxas said bluntly.

"You're Roxas: The Key of Destiny and my friend. That's who you are to me. And besides, maybe some of the stuff I might find out will help you to find who you really are." Miyuki said.

"Yeah but that doesn't change who I think I am." Roxas said.

"Who do you think you are Roxas?" Miyuki asked.

"I don't know!" Roxas sighed. "That's my problem."

It pretty much went on like that for the rest of the day. Once Roxas makes up his mind, there's no changing it. I really missed him and Axel too. They were the only two in the Organization who actually cared about me over the common goal, which was odd because the only common goal we had was to turn strong people into heartless so they could be in the Organization. It wasn't much of a goal, but it seems everyone was more interested in doing that than to actually make allies. As the day went on, I decided to read the Ansem Reports. I read them all. Not only did they help me understand things I already knew, but as well as the things I forgot. His writings reminded me about how darkness can be overcoming. There were things about how heartless were created, Ansem's experiments on Xehanort, how he met King Mickey, and something about a boy with a key. That's when I found who Roxas really was, or at least was a part of, and why he couldn't remember anything.

Roxas was standing in front of Memory's Skyscraper, staring up into the barren night sky. He held the Oathkeeper and Oblivion in both his hands. Miyuki walked to his side wearing a grey and silver short-sleeved hoodie cut just above her naval over a white tank top and blue denim shorts. She stared up into the sky and summoned the Bond of Flame and her sapphire kingdom key. After a few minutes it began to rain.

"Axel's not gonna like that you took his spinny things."

"He won't mind." Miyuki whispered. "Why are you just staring at the sky? In the rain."

"I don't know." Roxas sighed.

"What's wrong with you?" Miyuki asked in a low tone.

"Why am I cursed to wield these keys? You have 'em too, so tell me – that is, if you remember – why did it choose you?"

There was a pause of silence. Though she had gained back quite a few memories, not all of them were back. "Roxas. I grew up in Radiant Garden. Radiant Garden is the original name of Hollow Bastion. I grew up thinking the place was called Hollow Bastion because my older brother always said that was what it was. I couldn't stand him. I lived in a rural area near the castle. While I was there, I was given this key. Shortly after I ran away and somehow, I ended up in Hollow Bastion. If I would have stayed, one of us would have died. But all I remember was that I was given this key because I proved that I was pure of heart."

"Was it necessary to give me your whole life story?" Roxas smirked.

"Thought it was a nice touch." Miyuki said with a smile. "Though, I can answer why you have these keyblades. Do you know who Sora is?"

"No. Should I?" Roxas asked.

"Yeah, considering that you're his nobody." Miyuki said.

"Why don't I remember?" Roxas said, still focused on the empty sky.

"It's a long story. But right now, I don't have time. I gotta leave."

"Leave? I thought you thought it was insane." Roxas said.

"No, Axel said it was insane. But my memories . . . There are just too many blank spots. I need to explore and get out a little more. And there's Riku. . . ." Miyuki said blankly. "I have to find him."

"Take me with you! I don't want to stay here. I'm ready to get out of here." Roxas said eagerly.

"I want to Roxas, I really do. But I need you to stay here just a little bit longer. I'm putting you in charge. I need you to watch Axel and keep everyone away from where I'll be." Miyuki said. She began to walk away. But stopped. "When you feel like you are completely ready to know all about yourself you leave here and come find me. But not any sooner."

"How can I keep 'em away if I don't know where you're going? How do I know when I'm ready?" Roxas said calmly.

"You'll know. Just keep me close. Don't forget me . . . Roxas." She said as she disappeared behind the crashed truck.

It was hard saying goodbye to Roxas, but I had to. I have to find Riku. I need to see him again. And I gotta find the King and Kairi, too. And this DiZ, Darkness in Zero, maybe he can tell me what happened to me before I got here. What happened before the King and I were at Kingdom Hearts and maybe he can help me find Riku. But first I gotta get out of here. . . .
