Chapter 1 a second chance
"Kingdom Hearts… free them?" Roxas muttered.
She went on as if he agreed. "It's too late… for me to undo my mistakes."
As she said this, icy crystals crawled up on her high-heeled boots. They cracked somewhat, as if reminding her she had little time left.
"But you can't let Xemnas have Kingdom Hearts. You can't."
The way she spoke about this… did she die for that cause? Was that why she chose to die? Her eyes looked up to the looming Twilight Town Clocktower, as if presiding over this scene.
"Goodbye, Roxas." She was trying to stay strong. "See you again. I'm glad I got to meet you." Then she remembered something, and giggled slightly despite the situation. "Oh- and of course, Axel too. You're both my best friends. Never forget…" Her gloved hand touched Roxas's cheek, "that's the truth."
Axel… glad to meet you… best friends… Then it all came back to him, like an explosion in his head.
Roxas's eyes bulged as Xion's hand went slack and fell off his cheek. "No!" Roxas cried desperately. "Xion!"
But it was too late. Her hand fell to the ground, directing Roxas's eyes to her face. Her face looked peaceful- eyes closed softly, a delicate smile…
Roxas took Xion's hand again. "Who else will I have ice cream with?" he said this as if hoping that Xion would be awakened by this statement and breathes life once more. It was useless. The crystals which had started at her legs now blanketed Xion's body slowly until even her head was covered in the substance. The crystals then broke off and took to the sky, destroying Xion's body. Roxas hopelessly looked up as the shards majestically drew upwards.
His chest felt as if it were being pounded, beat up again, then torn into two cruelly. A longing for Xion overwhelmed him- he would do anything, anything at all, to get Xion back, even if it meant turning into a Dusk in the process. Roxas looked down to where her body had formerly laid, and something appeared on the ground in her place. It was a lone, small seashell. A tender yellow started at the bottom, merging into a bright Viola at the top. That seashell reminded Roxas of how she had stood vigil over him while he was in a coma..And that was only one of the things she had done for him. Xion had done so much… it wasn't fair for her to go.
A tear rolled down Roxas's face. "Xion…"
During the next night Roxas went to keep his promise, during his battle with Riku who had taken on the from of Ansem now.
"I want Xion back, I want my life back!" Roxas shouted.
"If you try and come in contact with kingdom hearts, the last thing you will get is your life back, and Xion wasn't real nothing, you are going to forget her soon" Riku stated.
"No I wont, Xion is my best friend, ill never forget her ever!" Roxas screamed.
"That's not your call, it is going to happen no matter how much you cry, yell or scream there is no stopping it" Riku replied.
"No, Xion was real, the memories and good times we had together were real, my heart tells me she wasn't fake!" Roxas stated holding his hand to his chest, right over where his heart should be.
"Idiot, you're a nobody, you don't have a heart, and you can't feel anything Xion is gone get over it she had to go just like you do".
"What wrong with you, why did you do this Xion, she was my best friend?!"
"I want my best friend back, the only way is for you two to disappear" Riku replied.
Once those words were spoken Roxas now had a destroyed look on his face holding his head down with tears falling down his cheeks but could not be known from the rain falling "What kind of heartless monster are you, Xion was my best friend and you made me kill her to get yours back!" Roxas screamed running at him, but it failed when Riku grabbed him with the black heartless monster starting to crush him.
"Let me go!" Roxas screamed at the top of his lung getting one arm free the arm that held the Oathkeeper now pointing it at kingdom hearts, he fired a blue light heading for the giant heart in the sky breaking off a tinny bit of the giant heart kingdom hearts watching the white keyblade vanish from his hand before passing out.
Once Roxas was lying on the ground out cold well DiZ walked out already knowing the truth about Riku's knew from, but let the boy have his peace acting like eh had no idea , "I can see you have defeated him" DiZ smiled.
"DiZ, his eyes were full of tears and shouldn't we all have compliantly forgotten Xion by now?' Riku asked with his hood up not wanting to show anyone he now looked like Ansem.
"That nothing will be gone soon and don't be ridiculous, a nobody is not capable of tears, they can feel nothing" DiZ said walking away well Riku picked Roxas up
Meanwhile in the darkness Xion was floating through a cold sea barely able to stay conscious" I feel it slipping away, I can barely remember anything," Xion said, washing up on a distance shore lying there as nothing more but an empty shell.
A woman that had blue eyes, her hair was also the same shade of blue. She wore a black and blue, high-collared halter top, two pink, intersecting belts over her chest, and black shorts. She wore a silver badge on her arms are white bell-sleeves and tan, fingerless gloves. She also wore black stockings on her legs which reach to about halfway up her thighs, leaving a small area of bare skin on her upper thighs. Aqua also bore two strips of blue cloth that drape over either side of her hips, along with a smaller, white strip of cloth tied around her waist, draped in the same manner.
"Finally I found it, a world stone, I can go home and I can get back to Ven and Terra!" Before she was about to use it Aqua turned and saw the girl washed up on the shore.
"Who is that?" Aqua cried rushing to the water finding the small girl, 'Who is this girl?' she questioned now holding her in her arms laying her across her lap.
Aqua cast a spell on her in order to look through her memories to try and find out how she got here, but she found very little, believing the darkness had destroyed most of her memories.
Even though she found every little she did notice her most treasured memory of a blond spiky haired boy "Ven, no wait his name is Roxas." Aqua said a bit disappointed.
After another moment she placed her hand to the girl's chest hearing slow beats. "Something is wrong with her heart, if I don't do anything she will become a heartless!" Aqua cried, casting another spell this time on her fading heart.

Inside Xion's world
"Xion looked to her left seeing that the platform she was lying on was all but gone and what she had left was fading with each passing second.
"Soon there will nothing left of me, I can barely remember anything, but at least Roxas is ok" Xion smiled.
"Hello Xion" a voice said.
"Who is there?' Xion asked turning her head seeing Aqua sitting down next to her.
"My name is Aqua" the voice said.
"Aqua, how are you here?" Xion asked shifting herself to a sitting position.
"I saw your light fading away Xion and wanted to help you" Aqua replied giving Xion a warm smile.
"It's too late for me, I have nothing left, I am fading away into nothingness" Xion cried now hugging herself in a betel position.
"You don't have to vanish; I can't repair what you have already lost, but can save what you have left." the Aqua explained holding her hand out to the younger girl.
"Why would you want to help me? I am nothing, not even a memory." Xion cried again turning her head away watching the platform she was standing on fade faster.
"I know you're scared sweetie, but I can't help you unless you take my hand" Aqua said in a calm tone still holding her hand out to Xion.
Xion paused for moment now reaching for Aqua's hand now watching a blinding light surrounding her clouding her vision. Once Xion could see again Xion could see the small platform grows bigger and take shape with what looked like a stainless glass window of Xion holding not one but two keyblade's in her hands.
"I don't feel the emptiness anymore, it's gone, and I feel whole." Xion smiled jumping at Aqua embracing her in a hug.
Aqua smiled hugging her back" Your heart is complete and will no longer hold ties to Sora or Roxas, Xion, you can be you're on person now." Aqua cheered for her.
"Aqua, how did you know my name, and about Roxas?" Xion couldn't help but ask.
"That isn't impartment right now, you need some sleep" Aqua said lying the girl down watching a peaceful look on her face like a child with out a worry in the world .
Back in the real world.
Aqua looked at the poor girl, she has been through so much pain, and "Maybe it would be better if those memories were just forgotten." Aqua said putting her index finger on Xion forehead casting another spell to seal her semantic memory that was past events.
Aqua looked at the stone in her left hand sighing "If I left her here my master would be ashamed of me" Aqua said to herself, putting the rock in Xion's hand and watched her vanish.
"Good luck, Xion" Aqua stated
A rainstorm hit Twilight Town hard. A sixteen year old girl named Roxy who had long black hair, green eyes and was dressed in a blue rain coat.
She was on her way home when she saw a young person that looked about fourteen years old, she had a black cloak covering her head, "Who is she?" Roxy wondered, rushing over to the hooded person, putting her umbrella over the kid, she then lifted up the figure, removed the hood seeing that it was a girl; she also had short black hair with only a few locks covering her forehead.
"Wake up!" Roxy said shaking her.
"The girl opened her eyes seeing the older girl, "Who are you?' Xion asked in a weak voice.
"My name is Roxy Lin, how about we talk at my house where it's less wet." she introduced herself as she was helping her stand up.
"Why are you helping me?" Xion questioned with a weak tone of voice.
"It's raining and you were lying in the middle of the street was I suppose to just leave you there?" Roxy asked, helping her walk by keeping the black haired girl's arm around her neck.
"I don't understand I feel so weak" Xion cried just before passing out.
"Hey don't you die on me I still want to know why you were sleeping in the rain in the middle of the night!" Roxy scolded.
Roxy made it to her home after twenty minuets, normally it took ten but with the exedra weight slowing her down took a bit longer.
The brunette dropped Xion on the couch in the living room noticing that her cloak was socked, so she deiced to undress her pretty sure she was catch cold if she slept in those. To her surprise when she removed the cloak she had nothing else on even underwear.
'Man who is this girl?' Roxy questioned covering her up with a blanket letting her get some sleep.
The young girl Xion opened her eyes finding that she was lying in a bed, "Where am I?' she wondered the room was pretty common with white walls a nightstand and obviously a bed that she was sleeping in.
"Glad to see your finally awake' Roxy said walking in to the room sitting down next to her.
"I remember, you found me in the rain, right?" Xion asked with a confused look on her face.
"Yeah and I wanted to ask what is your name?" Roxy wondered.
"My name?' Xion replied looking like she had no clue.
"Do you remember anything?' Roxy asked.
"No I can't remember a thing!" Xion cried in fear not yet noticing she was naked.
"Just calm down ok!" Roxy ensured her placing her hands on her shoulders.
"Why did you help me at all, you don't know anything about me!" Xion shouted but was angry that she couldn't remember a thing.
"Listen to me you just need to calm down, I think you have amnesia, and that is just memory loss" Roxy explained.
"I am sorry about shouting, it's just that I am scared, I have no idea who I am" Xion cried.
"I understand that you're scared, but I need to call you something, is there anything you'd like to be called?' Roxy asked.
"Xion" she said in a daze looking lost.
"Ok then I'll call you Xion' Roxy smiled.
"Come on lets get you some clothes' Roxy said walking over to the wall closet.
"Why do I need," but at that moment she realized she didn't have any clothes on,"ahhhhhhhhhhhh!' she screamed, pulling the covers over her body.
"I am surprised you just noticed' Roxy teased.
"Oh shut up and give me back my cloak!' she shouted puffing out her cheeks like a child.
"Oh quiet being a baby we are both girls and if I hadn't you would have a cold right now' she explained.
"Fine, just give it back already!" Xion demanded again.
"Can't. I put it on the washer and well it got ripped up" Roxy giggled.
"What no way!" Xion shouted.
"Oh come on, you just woke up be nice to me" Roxy shouted back.
"How long was I asleep?' Xion asked.
"A day." Roxy replied.
"I guess that is why I'm starving!' Xion cried gripping her stomach.
"If your that hungry than get dressed' Roxy ordered throwing her a plane black t-shirt a black pair of slacks and a pair of shoes and some underwear.
"Thanks Roxy ' Xion smiled.
"Don't mention it flaty" Roxy teased watching her get ticked off yet again.
