Where is she? She's supposed to be here. What happened to her?"
"She's gone."
"What?"
"I ran to the door to try to close it until you got here. She was right behind me but then. . . ."
"Then what? What happened to her?"
"I'm not sure. It's like she just froze. Then this guy in a black cloak, he came and took her away."
"And you let him just take her?"
"No. She went with him."
"She wouldn't have."
"I wanted to stop her but she said that she was goin' to follow her heart. And there was nothin' more I could do."
"What do you mean? Of course you could have stopped her! I could lose her forever!"
"Riku, if you care about her the way you say you do, you would trust her enough to let her make her own decisions."
"I do but I'm worried about her."
"You know that she can handle herself. She'll be just fine. Now pull yourself together. Sora should be here soon. We gotta help him close this door."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Riku?" The King said softly.
"Yeah?" Riku replied emptily.
"As soon as Sora locks this place up, we'll go look for her. I'm sure by now, she has something for you." The King replied.
"Okay." He said he didn't bother debating with the King. He knew that there wouldn't be any point
Suddenly, heartless started spewing out of everywhere.
"He must be trying to open it." Riku said.
"Where's Sora?" the King said trying to hold back the heartless.
"He'll be here." Riku said, guarding the door. He felt just a little nervous getting ready to fight with his mind like this. He watched the doors slowly open then suddenly stop. Sora, Donald and Goofy ran to the doors and try to push them closed. Riku looked back at the King. The heartless looked like they were overwhelming him. "King Mickey!"
"Riku! Help them close the door!" King Mickey urged as two darkside heartless rose up.
"I can't." Sora sighed.
Riku looked back at him. He hesitantly ran to the door and helped Sora to close it. "Sora! Together we can do it!" He said.
Sora looked at him and nodded. "Okay." He continued to push the door. Soon the door started to budge. At the same time, heartless began pouring into Kingdom Hearts.
The heartless were rapidly growing in number.
"It's hopeless!" Donald screamed
King Mickey destroyed the remaining heartless, zapped the two darkside heartless and jumped up in an aura of light.
"Your Majesty!" Donald and Goofy screamed.
"Don't worry Sora." He said. "There will always be a door to the light." He pulled out his key and held it up.
"Sora, you can trust King Mickey." Goofy said.
"Now, they're coming." Riku said.
"Donald, Goofy, thank you." The King said. "C'mon Sora, let's close this door for good."
Sora pushed against the door again. The door was near being closed. Riku figured he'd stop pulling before his fingers got stuck in the door. He stepped back and turned to Sora.
"Take care of her."
I couldn't believe what she did. I thought she would wait for me. The King wasn't taking anything but sealing Kingdom Hearts seriously. All I could think about was her, if she was okay, what she was doing and if she was thinking about me. I felt like a whole part of me was gone. I can't fight to my full potential with her on my mind like this. I think the King could tell. He seemed much more worried about me than about her. But he was right. I shouldn't have been so worried about her. She can handle herself. I guess I felt a little out of place with her gone. I didn't find her in Castle Oblivion, That was when I really needed her. But that's also that's when I started to get worried even more. But then I met DiZ. He said he would help me while the King was gone. Turns out she lost most of her memories. In exchange, I helped him get Sora back on his feet. I almost thought that this would be easy. . . .
Miyuki walked along the Alley to Between. She saw Axel leaning on the wall with his arms folded. "I don't think there's much you can do to hold this place up." She said as she approached.
"This portal will take you to Twilight Town." Axel said as he opened a small round portal. "You may find some more stuff there."
"Thanks, Axel." Miyuki said as she gave him a hug.
"No problem, sweetheart." Axel said, returning the hug. "Take care of yourself, they'll be after you."
"No problem. Just keep a look out for me on the inside." Miyuki said. And do me a favor, watch out for Roxas for me." Miyuki said as she broke the hug.
"I'll try. But these guys outnumber me eleven to one. And if I'm lucky, two." Axel said.
"You can take 'em. Both you and Roxas. And if you need me, I'll try to be around." Miyuki said as she walked toward the portal.
"Don't get yourself killed." Axel said.
"Same to you." Miyuki said as she walked through the portal. When she reached the end of Betwixt and Between, she arrived in Twilight Town.
"This place feels so familiar." She thought aloud. Then she just blankly walked into the Basement Hall. She was surrounded by pods. Sleeping pods. She looked around and saw Goofy and Donald in two pods closest to the door to the next room. She went on into the next room, the Pod Room. It was completely empty. She walked to the center of the room, hoping to find something. Suddenly the floor rose on her, encasing her in a glass pod. She frantically looked around to find out what happened or who did it. When she turned around, she saw Ansem in a black cloak like the one she had in the Organization staring at her in a saddened glance.
"I'm sorry." He mouthed.
"Ansem!" Miyuki yelled as she summoned both her sapphire key and the Bond of Flame. Before she could do anything with it her whole body froze..
He looked at her and slowly walked away. Miyuki regained movement as soon as he was out of sight. Miyuki was left perplexed at how Ansem could disable her body. "Man, what is going on?" She thought aloud as she leaned against the glass pod. Then suddenly she started to feel drowsy. "Axel . . . , Roxas . . . , Riku. . . ."
"Did you get her?"
"I don't know why you'd make me do that"
"It's for the best. Maybe Naminé can restore her memories too."
"She's not connected to Sora."
"She's connected to Riku, Kairi and Roxas. They're all connected to Sora."
"Will it work like that?"
"Only one way to find out."
"Wait, what if something doesn't work? What if she loses all her memories?"
"I don't know yet. Maybe we'll put her in the alternate Twilight Town with Roxas."
"I won't let you risk her memories like that."
"Fine. We'll just leave her like she is and continue to work on Sora. Is that okay with you?"
"I don't know. I want to help her but I don't want to make her an experiment."
"I understand. The best we can do for her is to let her do for herself. That is, unless you want to help."
"Not like this. There's something I need to do before I can see her again."
"How are you going to do it?"
"I don't know but, if I don't do it back in a year, I'm letting her go. I'm not going to keep her locked up because I can't get myself together."
"You really care about her."
"I do."
"The faster we can get Sora back, then we can get closer to getting her memories back."
"Thank you, DiZ"
"My pleasure, 'Ansem'"
It's been about a year since Miyuki wandered into the computer room. DiZ and I have accomplished a few things. The alternate Twilight Town has been created. Roxas has been taken there and is currently helping to regain Sora's memories. Though, I don't have my original body back and Miyuki has been idle ever since she's been here. I feel terrible. I can't keep her locked up like this, like some kind of animal. I have to let her go. She can get her memories back on her own. Right now, Sora's top priority. I hope she'll understand. But then, she has always been the understanding type. Nothing really gets her mad from what I know. Except for when people insult her friends. She nearly killed Captain Hook for talking about Kairi.
Ansem walked down to the basement of the Mansion. He soon reached the basement corridor where Miyuki and Sora's pods reside. He approached Miyuki's pod and was amazed that her pod was demolished. "It looks like it was broken from the inside." Ansem said. At first he was a bit upset but then smiled. "Couldn't stay locked up for much longer, could you? Just couldn't wait." Ansem then decided to check on Sora who might have fought his way out of his pod too. He strode into the pod room to find Sora, still motionless in his pod.
Alright, that was dandy, but lookie here. If you've noticed I haven't updated this yet. Why you ask? 'Cause no ones reviewing, I mean no one. I was gonna let it slide at like three, but now ten. When I get ten reviews, I'll post the next chapter.
