Remembrance

Sora stood and looked around. He was in the secret place on Destiny Island and Kairi was sleeping under the drawing of him and her sharing a paopu fruit. He felt slightly ill and decided he simply needed to get out of the tiny cave.

The moment he was out of the cave, he fell to his hands and knees dry heaving. Then he felt like his back was being torn open. He nearly blacked out and was vaguely aware that someone was now standing in front of him. Then the pain subsided and he looked up to see Roxas.

"Why do I have my own body?" Roxas asked.

"How should I know?" Sora asked standing.

Roxas shrugged and was about to walk away when he suddenly spaced out. Images of him and Axel sitting on top of the clock tower in Twilight Town flashed into his head but there was someone else there too. She was about Roxas' age and height with the same blue eyes and black hair. She wore the same black cloak that Roxas and Axel wore and Roxas could feel that she was his friend. Then the image shifted to one of her laying in his arms. She was badly wounded and the only thing he could feel was guilt. She asked him to do something but he couldn't hear her. Then she turned into crystal and faded. Lastly, images of himself fighting Riku flashed through his head. He felt pain, guilt, desperation, and sorrow in levels that he could never describe if he tried. Then it stopped and a single name appeared in his mind.

"Xion," Roxas said placing a hand over his chest.

"Roxas?" Sora asked.

"You!" Roxas said summoning his Kingdom Key and swinging at Sora's head.

Sora blocked Roxas' keyblade with his own.

"Give her back!" Roxas shouted.

"Who?" Sora asked.

"XION!" Roxas shouted.

Sora kicked Roxas back then said, "Who is Xion?"

Roxas charged and swung again and Sora just barely managed to block the attack. Sora pushed Roxas' blade away and swung at his neck but Roxas ducked under it and swept Sora's feet out from under him. Sora, out of desperation, blasted Roxas and sent him flying.

"Sora!" Kairi said running out of the cave but then froze and Namine stepped out of her.

Unlike Roxas, Namine was intangible and was only there to talk.

"Sora!" Namine said. "Don't hurt him, he's only grieving!"

"Grieving what?" Sora asked.

"The love of his life," Roxas said. "Xion."

"So that's who it is," Sora said. "Hang on, I thought Nobodies couldn't be in love."

"Normally they can't," Namine said. "But Roxas isn't a normal Nobody. No one else knew this but Roxas had two halves from two different hearts. One half was yours. The other was from a Keyblade wielder named Ventus. When he died, his heart fuzed with yours and half of his went to Roxas when he was created. That's why Roxas looks nothing like you."

Roxas groaned and tried to stand but was still disoriented from Sora's attack.

"Xion was created by Organization XIII as a puppet meant to take your memories from Roxas, killing him," Namine said. "When she found out, she left. But by then it was too late. The memories from you that transferred to her also took your half heart with them. Roxas still had the half of a heart that came from Ventus and had fallen for Xion. Xion fell for Roxas when she got your half heart. When it became too late for her memories to be given back to you, she forced Roxas to kill her, taking the memories and half a heart back. Then his memories of her faded from his ability to access."

"Oh," Sora said. "And he blames me?"

"No," Namine said. "He knows that all that's left of her is her memories. And they are still inside of you."

Roxas suddenly stood and charged at Sora. Sora smashed Roxas' keyblade away and Roxas summoned a second, Oathkeeper.

"That's mine!" Sora said.

"No it's not!" Roxas said. "It's mine. It's made out of all of my memories of Xion!"

"What do you want?" Sora asked.

"Xion!" Roxas said attacking again.
