A/N: Hey guys! This is my first story and my first RokuShi story, so please don't get angry if it's bad! I also need to mention that practically half of this chapter is from Kingdom Hearts II, so don't be surprised that the first half sounds oddly familiar. I just needed that part to introduce everything. I triple checked spelling, but i'm pretty sure that my punctuation is going to be wrong sometimes, so please if you spot any mistakes, let me know so that I may have a better understanding in the future. Thank you. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Disney or they're characters in any way. This is strictly for fun and not for profit.

Chapter 1: A Strange Encounter

"So… it is possible?" The woman asked, hopeful that the answer would be yes.

"It is possible, but it will take some time" The unknown figure replied."Are you sure you want to do this? By doing this, you're risking a life."

"I know," the woman said, "but…I need to know." She broke her gaze from whom she was talking to and stared straight at the dreamer, tears in her eyes.

Roxas awoke gasping for air, startled from the dream he had. He sat there for a minute, trying to contemplate what he had just dreamt. He placed his hand on his forehead. "Another weird dream," he presumed. Looking at his surroundings, Roxas started to stand on his two feet to figure out where he was. "Where… where am I?" He asked himself, scratching his head in confusion. He walked around, taking in everything he saw. As he passed by some egg shaped pods, he stopped and realized exactly where he was. "The old abandoned mansion!" he remarked, "I must have passed out after fighting Axel." Remembering everything that had happened, Roxas continued to walk, hoping he would find more answers as to why he was there.

As he walked forward, two egg shaped pods caught Roxas's attention. "Donald," he said, turning his head slightly to see the other pod, "Goofy?" He stared at them wondering why they were in pods. Roxas looked to his left and noticed a door. "Maybe I'm supposed to go in there," he thought, getting closer and closer.

The door flung open letting Roxas walk inside. "Him again," he angrily thought as he walked up to Diz.

"At last," Diz proclaimed, "the keyblade's chosen one."

"Who are you talking to," Roxas asked angrily. "Me or Sora?"

"To half of Sora, of course." Diz pauses and looks at Roxas. He notices his anger, but continues anyway. "You reside in darkness. What I need is someone who can move about the realm of light and destroy Organization 13."

"Why? Who are you?"

"I am a servant of the world," Diz explains to Roxas, as he laughs at his own metaphor, "and if I'm a servant then you should consider yourself a tool at best."

"W-was that… was that supposed to be a joke? BECAUSE I'M NOT LAUGHING!" He exclaimed. Roxas, filled with anger, summons his keyblade and charges at Diz. He swings his keyblade at him, but his blade seemed to just go right through him. Confused, Roxas stopped and looked at Diz with a perplexed expression on his face. Why didn't his blade inflict any damage?

"My Apologies. This is only a data based projection," Diz stated with a rather arrogant smile.

Roxas clenched his hands in anger and screamed in rage, causing him to attack Data Diz ferociously. He swung and swung until he started to tire himself out. Out of breath, Roxas stopped attacking, giving Data Diz time to disappear. Roxas stood there, breathing heavily trying to get his breath back. He was enraged at Data Diz. Nothing could come close to the anger he felt toward him. He just wanted to grab his measly head and bash it in as hard as he could.

"Over here, Roxas," Data Diz said tauntingly.

He turned around to find that Data Diz had reappeared right behind him. Still out of breath, Roxas stared at Data Diz angrily. "I hate you so much!"

"You should share some of that hatred with Sora," Data Diz suggested, "he's far too nice for his own good."

"No! My heart belongs to me!" Roxas, appalled by Data Diz's suggestion, rushes towards him and attacks him again, but Data Diz just disappears, leaving an angry Roxas alone in the room. As he tries to calm himself down, Roxas looks up to see a gigantic pod right in front of him.

The pod suddenly began to open slowly. Roxas stepped back, not knowing what was inside. As the pod was opening, he walked up with caution, waiting to see what was inside. An enemy? A friend? The pod opened fully revealing just what was inside. "Sora." he whispered to himself.

Roxas stared at Sora not knowing what to do. He knew he had to merge with Sora to do what was right for the world. He knew he couldn't be selfish, but how could you not be at a moment like this? Roxas looked down as he thought about what he was sacrificing. He was leaving his life, his friends and quite possibly, his memories. Just thinking about it made Roxas tear up. He didn't want to abandon everyone and everything dear to him, especially his memories.

Roxas let out a small smile as he looked back up at Sora. "You're lucky." he said, having finally made up his mind. "Looks like my summer vacation…is over."

Roxas began to float in the air, ready to merge with Sora. He looked at him, tears beginning to form in his eyes. He thought of the good memories he had lived and the bad ones he had survived. He had left his mark; he just knew it. Roxas smiled as a tear began to roll down his cheek, and in an instant, an unknown force caused Roxas to collide with Sora, making him whole again.

Darkness was all he saw as he fell to who knows where. Screaming as he fell, Roxas tried to look for a source of light, but failed to find one. He started to panic, wondering if this was the end for him, until he felt himself falling slower and slower. He stopped his screaming and looked around in confusion. He looked down and noticed a patch of grass right under him. As his feet touched the ground, he looked around, not knowing where to go. He stood there thinking what his next move should be. He then noticed a light just a few yards away. Without hesitation, Roxas decided to run towards the light, hoping to find some answers as to where he was and what had happened.

As he got closer to the light, Roxas could see something start to appear. He couldn't make out what he was looking at. "Is that…a garden?"

When he finally arrived to the light source, he had realized…he was right. A garden full of roses and other carnations created a pathway, leading Roxas to some unknown area. He had stopped running and walked through the pathway, amazed at all the beautiful flowers that surrounded him. The birds chirped and flew all around the garden, tweeting as if they didn't have a care in the world. It was an amazing sight, one Roxas would not forget.

As the pathway began to end, he examined what was now in front of him. A sitting area surrounded by roses and no other flowers. Chills ran down Roxas's body. "Man, this is creepy," he thought to himself trying to figure out why there were only roses and no tulips or daisies. As he thought about it for a minute, he noticed someone wearing a strange hat sitting at the sitting area, and by the looks of it, he was drinking something. Who could it be? Would it be safe or dangerous? Should he go over there? These questions arose in Roxas's thoughts while examining the unknown individual. He stared at the stranger's back, trying to make up his mind, when he noticed something very peculiar about the man. "A tail?" He asked himself, wondering why a person would have a tail. Something didn't feel right, but what other choice did he have? With that, Roxas began to walk towards the man cautiously, wondering what kind of tragedy would unfold from his decision.

Roxas, now behind the man, took one last breath before he reached his arm out to touch the man's shoulder. "E-excuse me…" he stuttered, wondering what the stranger might say. The man started to stand slowly, forcing Roxas to take his hand off of him and to step back a bit. He examined the man's hand that had a knife tightly clenched, almost as if he intended to use it. Roxas feared the worst. He decided to summon his keyblade just in case, but his keyblade was not appearing. "What's going on?" he thought to himself, baffled as to why every time he tried to summon his blade of light, it failed to appear. He then remembered something. "Didn't this… didn't this happen before?" he thought to himself, holding his head as he tried to remember. Roxas thought and thought, but seemed to not remember a thing. "Huh? Why can't I remember a thing?"

The gentleman, with the knife clenched tightly, turned around rather swiftly, pointing the knife right at Roxas's face. He was staring at the floor, to conceal his identity as he pointed, when he finally started to speak his first words. "I have a question for you." He said in an eerie voice.

Roxas raised his hands to his shoulders as if surrendering. "Yea?" Roxas responded, scared out of his mind. His eyes widened as he started to breath faster than usual. He then closed his eyes and waited for his demise.

The gentleman looked straight into Roxas's eyes with a straight face. He then let out a friendly grin and chuckled a bit. "What flavor of cake do you like?"

Roxas's eyes shot up fast allowing him to see this fraud. This man who had tricked him. The man who had almost made him soil his pants. Roxas looked at the gentleman, ready to give him a piece of his mind when something caught his attention. Roxas immediately took notice of the man's face and was in shock. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Were his eyes deceiving him? Surprised, Roxas stepped back, not comprehending what was going on. Who exactly was this man? "Who are you," he asked harshly, "and why do you look exactly like me?"
