Another KH drabble focusing on two characters randomly drawn from a hat. This time the characters drawn were Aerith and Xion. I'm not as pleased with this one as I am some of the others, so I would like to requests polite critiques from people who happen to find this, please and thank you.

Kingdom Hearts belongs to Square-Enix and Nomura Tetsuya-sensei.

The black-haired girl finally collapsed in her bedroom at the Castle Oblivion. She was so confused, her head was in a spin - all Xion remembered was running, running through the halls, trying to run from the memories that weren't hers. There were so many worlds, so many people, all running through her head, she thought she was going to go mad.

There was one in particular that stuck out in her head. "What kind of place... is that?" she whispered to the cool evening air - a town covered with the orange glow of street lights blinking against the dark night's sky. And such strange people... Xion had no idea that there were people like that at all in the world. The black-haired girl, much like Xion herself, in the bright yellow and green...

"I think you might have overdone it, Squall."
"Hey, ease up!"
"The Keyblade chooses its master. And it chose you."

The man with brown hair and a scar on his face...

"You know what? I really don't know."
"Looks like things are worse than we thought. A lot worse."
"They'll come at you out of nowhere... And they'll keep on coming at you, as long as you continue to wield the Keyblade. But why? Why did it choose a kid like you?"

But the one that stuck out the most was her. She was tall, and evidently liked pink. Xion had no idea who the person was, but she remembered... kindness. And a part of her felt a sort of sibling-like admiration. This woman, with her long brown braid and her soft eyes, was so familiar... who was she? Talking about scattered pages and secret worlds...

"Is this... is this because... of Sora?" Xion whispered again. The memories that were hers, but weren't hers... she had caught wind of a conversation among her colleagues that involved this Sora person... If it was because of Sora, then he obviously cared a lot about this woman. A crush, maybe? Maybe his big sister?

"I need answers," she decided. Not caring whether anyone found her or not, the young Nobody waved her hand. A dark portal appeared in front of her, and she stepped through it. She had no destination in mind - she just had to get out. Who knew? Maybe she would even run into the woman dressed in pink.

As she took the first step, a name suddenly came to her mind, and Xion had to assume that it was hers.

"Aerith... who are you? Who are all of you?"
