:The Memories Beyond: A KH story
Chapter 1: A New Beginning
By: LadyShi-Chan

Ansem Report 2

It is my duty to expose what this darkness really is. I shall conduct the following experiments:

Extract the darkness from a person's heart.

Cultivate darkness in a pure heart.

Both suppress and amplify the darkness within.

The experiments caused the test subject's heart to collapse, including those of the most stalwart. How fragile our hearts are! My treatment produced no signs of recovery. I confined those who had completely lost their hearts beneath the castle.

Sometime later, I went below and was greeted by the strangest sight. Creatures that seemed born of darkness...What are they? Are they truly sentient beings? Could they be the shadows of those who lost their hearts in my experiments?

However, I must continue my experiments. I have selected a little girl as a new test subject. A pure heart of gold she has. From the darkness I've managed to extract from my other experiments, I will see great results.

I pushed away the piece of paper set in front of me after reading it. I looked intently at the girl sitting across me on the long white marble table who played with her blond hair draped over her shoulder.

"Could you tell me more about this organization?" I asked her, folding my hands together.

"They are nobodies, what is left behind by those whose hearts have been consumed by Heartless, but they are different kinds of nobodies. They can think and plan. What they yearn is to discover the secrets of the heart and fill the empty void inside themselves so they can become full beings again. Since they have the same goal, they've joined together to reach it." Her blue eyes stared right as me as she spoke.

"And why do you need me for this? Why don't you ask her? She would be more helpful." I asked the girl.

"No one can find her. She's been very hard to track." She explained.

I sighed and placed a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"Think about it. This could be your chance for... revenge." She managed to say, looking at me with regret.

I raised my eyebrow at the comment.

"Wait... you mean that they are there?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yes. The ones you caused you eternal torment." Naminé nodded.

I looked down at the table, biting my lip. This could be my one chance. That made my decision.

"I'll do it, Naminé." I told her, looking up at her.

She gave me a small, unsure smile. I noticed this gesture, confused. Still, I shrugged it off and looked over at the drawings hanging from the white walls.

"Um, may I..?" I asked, shyly.

"Oh, of course you can. I drew them myself." She said, giving me a sweet smile.

I smiled back at her. They looked so much alike. I got up from my chair and walked over to look at the drawings. Some of them were about a blue eyed boy with spiky brown hair. I smiled at the drawings, recognizing them. I wandered around more when a certain drawing caught my attention. There were three people, holding hands. I couldn't see their faces since their backs were facing me. The one on the left was that boy with spiky brown hair. The one of the right was a boy in a black cloak and had sandy blond semi-spiky hair. The one in the middle looked so familiar.

She looks... just like me. I thought.

"Naminé. I have a question for you." I asked when I looked back at her.

"Yes?" She replied.

"You're... a nobody, aren't you?"

She looked shocked at first before giggling slightly, amused.

"How did you know?" She asked back.

"I don't sense a heart in you." I said walking away from the drawings.

"You're correct; I am a nobody or a witch, as DiZ calls me."

"DiZ... He's the one who wants me to do this. Why does he need us?" I sit back down to face Naminé.

She hesitated slightly, looking down before responding.

"He is also looking for revenge against this organization, much like you. He needs someone who can go through the realm of light to destroy the organization. That is where we come in. There is one person who can do just that, but... his memories are missing. DiZ calls me a witch because I have the power to manipulate the memories of him and the ones of every person connected to his heart. I'm here to recuperate his memories so he can defeat the organization." She explains.

"Who is this person?" I ask curiously.

"The keyblade wielder..."

"Wait, you mean Sora?" I say out loud, confused.

"Y-you know him?" She asks, surprisingly confused.

"Of course, I remember him. He's the one in your drawings. I met him about a year ago." I mention towards the drawings.

Naminé looks at me in disbelief before looking at her drawings. Then, she mutters under her breath:

"But... I erased the memories of Sora from everyone connected to him... How come she remembers him?"
