That dream is still lingering in the back of my mind. No, it wasn't a dream, but a memory, a very bad memory. It happened back when Sora and I were 13 years old. We had an argument and I ended up knocking him out with a book.. it was a big book ok? Anyhow, our mom got angry and started yelling and all that crap and I got thrown out of the house for two weeks. I stayed with my aunt and uncle then, but after that little incident it started to happening more often and my parents ended up hating me. My aunt and uncle started to treat me like their own, but I still knew that they weren't my parents. Because my parents wanted me dead, and they still do.
Suddenly I am bumped out of my thoughts, literally. Well, maybe more like run down by a tall blond, mohawk guy. "Ah.. Ghad.." I groan and looked up at the other guy. I try to push him off me, but he is way too heavy. The guy looks at me for a moment before he seems to realize that I am a person and jumped to his feet. "I'm soooo sorry!" the guy almost yells and pulls me to my feet, "Are you okay?". "Yeah..." I mumble and rub the back of my head, "Are you?". He grins and is about to answer when another guy yells; "Demyx! You idiot, did you just run him down?". I look around the 'Demyx'-guy and a shorter, steel-blue emo hair guy is walking towards us. "I didn't mean to Zexy" Demyx pouts and turned towards the 'Zexy'-guy. "Don't call me that in public, you know I hate that" the new guy mumbles and shakes his head before he looks over at me, "You OK?". I am going to answer when i hear a familiar car pull up behind me and Sora shouting, "Roxas, get over here!". I just nod to the guys and walked over to Sora. Then I jump into the car and we're off. The car is a stereotypical black rich-kid car. It's true! Our parents are so rich it's scary and when we turned 16, our parents gave Sora a brand new car and me.. well, nothing, like I said, they hate me. Now, three years later, the most expensive thing my parents had ever given me was things for my education. I had taken my diploma as an automatician, for you who don't know what that is, it is a mix of an electrician and a mechanic. My parents wanted me to take after them and go into the oil business, because Sore didn't have to, and by taking that diploma you get there the fastest. Sora makes me come back to earth by saying: "Roxas, you brainiac! Stop spacing out!". I don't know how many times he has asked me to do that, but his tone of voice said that it was at least the fifth time. "Sorry" I mumble and flashes him a quick smile. "Who were those guys?" Sora asks as he drives away from the airport. "No idea" I say and close my eyes, I am tired.
Soras' apartment is in a town a few kilometers outside of New York, called Twilight Town. His apartment is right above a bakery located at the marked street. Sora, that loves to bake and cook and all that shit, workes in the bakery as well. The apartment isn't big, but that doesn't bother Sora too much, me neither actually. The air is always filled with the sweet scent of cupcakes, cakes, other pastries, which just makes the apartment seem even better.
"This is your room" Sora says with a big grin. I carefully open the big wooden door and walk into the room. The first thing I notice is the big window over my bed. Because this house is at the top of a hill, it's a little higher up than the rest of the houses in the marked street. That means that I can see all the way to the ocean. The ocean has a reputation of having the warmest water in all of USA in the summer. Sora just grins even wider when he notice where I am looking, "I thought you would like it, I know you love the ocean". I tackle Sora to the floor in a big hug and smile, which is like a grin to me, and laughed a little "I love it Sor, it's amazing!". I stand up and then help my twin up on his feet. For the first time I look around the rest of the room. On the wall next to the head of the bed is a big bookshelf and it was filled with books. Next to that is a desk, a few books there to, pencils for drawing and writing, and the last thing on that side is a fireplace. That puzzles me and Sora must have noticed my look, because he just says: "The winter is cold here". On the opposite side of the room are a dresser and TV. On the bed is there also a brand new laptop, just because Sora doesn't know when to stop buying things. The one thing that is weird about the room are all the plants everywhere. There are plants on the ceiling, on the walls and even some places on the floor, but it doesn't bother me, they just take up space I'm going to fill with nothing either way.*
I glance over at the clock on the wall, 03:58 and 20 seconds. I can't sleep and everything in my head is spinning. Who am I going to meet in New York tomorrow? Who was that guy that said that I could take that jet? And who the fuck had thought that I wanted plants in my room?! OK, that one is there just because I'm tired now and when I am, I get annoyed over nothing. Things are bothering me and sleep is not an option.
It's four in the morning, the sky is clouded and I'm out roaming the streets... alone.. why am I doing this again? Oh, yes, can't sleep and Sora is, so he was no fun. The TV is no good in the middle of the night and I didn't bother to open the laptop because then I had to start with all the programing stuff to get it to my liking, and all the other things that would take hours to complete. So that's why I'm out roaming the streets. It's not as cold here as it was back in Norway, so I'm just wearing my black hoody with the Nobody symbol, from the legends, on the back. I don't know why, but I like that legend… That a Nobody is what remains of those who have lost their hearts to Darkness. Yes, that's it, I'm the Darkness and Sora the Light, but why isn't my keys coming from darkness when I summon them instead of light? Maybe I'm wrong about something…
*Crash!*. What the hell was that?! Wait… Where the hell am I? The buildings are mostly black and the signs are… Great, I'm that far from Soras' apartment! This is the nightclub area Sora showed me when we drove to his apartment. Well, since it's this kind of area it's probably nothing or… no! Do not think of that! Just walk! There are no people out to get me! Okay, I'm a little paranoid sometimes I know, but it doesn't hurt does it? To be a little paranoid? "Larxene! You fucking bitch!". What was that? Where did that come from? Behind me?

Axel POV
I don't know what Xenmas was thinking? Gathering all the numbers? And why the fuck did I need to pick up the one called The Savage Nymph?! She was a fucking pain in the ass! Can't call myself better, but running away and finding here in a nightclub is just so… Now that bitch is gone again! "Larxene! You fucking bitch!" I yell and here a faint giggle down the alley, towards the street. Where the fuck is she going? As I'm heading out of the alley someone takes hold of my jacket, it is Larxene. "Look Axel, someone with the nobody mark!" she says giggly and points at a little boy walking in the street a few houses further up. "Let's have some fun" the whispers and there is something.. evil in her voice, that's not good right? "Larxene you.." Fuck she is gone again!
I look up towards the boy and see Larxene just a few meters away. She stops there and the boy keeps walking. "Oh bo~y!" she says with a evil giggle. The boy turns around and says with a too calm voice, "The fuck do you want?". Don't I know that guy? He looks so familiar, but I can't place him. "Isn't it a little late for a little kid to be out roaming the streets?" Larxene answers and laughs this time, god what an annoying laughter, makes you want to rip your eardrums out!. "I'm not a kid! I'm nineteen" the boy growls back, clenching his fists. She looks like she has just heard someone tell the funniest joke on earth and laughs even louder. The kid just rolls his eyes and walks away… now that I look at them, those eyes are actually really pretty. It's like they are made of the blue winter sky. Larxene rips me out of my thoughts with a high pitched yell, "Ey! Kid!". The boy stops and yell back, clearly pissed, "What?!". Just as the boy turns around Larxene says with a Cheshire grin, "Dodge". She suddenly throws one of her knives towards the boy, when the fuck did she summon her knives? And how the fuck did he dodge it?! I've got scars after those bastards and I've only been with Larxene for three days! The knife sparks with lightning as it cuts through the jacket, the lightning burning it so the boy rips of his jacket and throw it away. The boy is actually kind of sexy when I take a closer look, maybe I've fucked him before? No! God, don't think like that. He's barely legal now so I can't have, he would have been under age, and I'm not fucking someone under age. "Well done kid, not many people can dodge my knives." She giggles and play a little with another knife. Larxene throws it and the boy dodges it, again. He's actually a little good. "Yeah, got practice" the boy reply dryly, "But why the hell are you attacking me!?". "For fun" Larxene reply in the most evil way I've ever heard. It's a little sick I know that, but I want to see how good this kid is. Larxene is good at range, but leave it to me to see how good he is close up.
"Larxene.." I say as I walk out in the street "..Let me have some fun too". Larxene looks over at me and giggles. "Soooorry!" she says sarcastically and takes a few steps away from the boy, "Let's see what The Flurry of Dancing Flames can do!". I grin at her and look over at the boy, now let's get this show started. The boy looks puzzled at me, like he didn't expect to see me here. Had he seen me before? Maybe I really have fucked him before? No, don't think of that now. I hold out my arms to each side and grin at the boy. Time for some fun. Fire appears in my hands and the flames spines rapidly until my chakrams, Eternal Flames, appears and I take a hold of them. "Want some fun kid?" I say teasingly and the kid looks shocked for a fraction of a second before he glares at me. "I'm not a kid" is all he says before I throw one of my chakrams. He dodges it easily and I laugh, "Good work kid". I catch my chakram as it comes flying back. Then I throw it again and the other just a second later. He dodges them both! Is he some kind of monkey!? A run a few meters to the side and catches my Flames. "You are god a distance kid" I say impressed, I really am, "But what about close up?". I run at him, raising my chakrams and prepare to slice through his flesh but all I hear is a *clang* of metal hitting metal. I open my eyes and see suddenly two blades holding my Flames away. The blades has this glow around them, like a summoning glow, but brighter "Light" I mumble and the boy jumps away from me. I look at the blades with wide eyes "It's the Keyblades… Oathkeeper and Oblivion" I say a little louder "Summoned from... light". The kid looks at me then to Larxene before he drops his blades, they quickly fades away, and then run away, disappears into the night. "Larxene, that's the light" I say and turn towards her "The Key of Destiny".

Roxas POV
Is Sora awake already? After I met those two in the nightclub part of town, I just walked around town and stayed away from people. I thought about what that boy said... what was he called? Oh yes, The Flurry of Dancing Flames... I get the name but why did he call my Keyblades Oathkeeper and Oblivion? After I summoned them for the first time, the only thing I read about them was that there were different kinds. The most famous one, The Kingdom Key, was often the basic form, but also someone's true form. The first discovered true forms were the sixteen first, like the Kingdom Key, the Spellbinder, the Lionheart, the Oathkeeper, the Oblivion and the Ultima Weapon. I can recall some other names but not all of them. Later eighteen new ones were discovered and some new ones after that, but I can't recall how many. But my point is that that boy called my blades Oathkeeper and Oblivion, as in the first Keyblades. Is that really true? The only picture ever found of a Keyblades was the Kingdom Key and it was an old drawing from the late 1800's.
"Roxas!" Sora suddenly yells next to me. What the hell? Where the hell did he come from? Oh yeah, I noticed that earlier didn't I, I just god caught up in my Keyblades again. "Yeah..?" I mumble a little embarrassed. "You were in wonderland again?" He jokes and laughs. The only reason he is up at this hour is because he has to start baking the bread for the shop. That damn baker schedule. Up four or five in the morning to bake! I need to be a little alone now and I thought that I actually could be alone now, but no! "What happened to your jacket?" Sora asks and I notice that my jacket is gone. I must have left it on the street. I shake my head, "I forgot it" I answer plainly. "Okey.. but remember that we need to leave 10 o'clock, you got that appointment, right?" Sora says a little worried, he knows I don't like to go anywhere without it. "Yeah, I'll just go change" I mumble and goes to my room, I need a shower too.
"Roxas, wake up." Is that Sora? Yes, it is. "Roxas, we're here". I open my eyes and look around. We're in New York. After the little chat in the bakery, the shower and the change of clothes, to black loose pants, a black tank top and my white/beige long sleeve jacket with checker patterns around the seams and red fabric as lining in the hood. I'm not sure how I was supposed to dress but this looks good with my necklace so I don't really care. My necklace is a mix of a cross and a one of those Japanese ninja star thingies, but I like the cross idea. Sora has a similar necklace, just with a crown. "I'm awake.. What time is it?" I mumble groggily and sigh. "11:30" Sora answers and I look up at the building we are parked in front of, 57 East 57th Street or better known as the Four Season Hotel New York. The only reason I know is because of.. well I just know.. the internet is a good thing right? Sora looks over at me "You okay?". "Ja, drive back and bake some more " I answer and Sora knows there's no harm in my words. He just grin and I shake my head before stepping out of the car. So… Let's get this over with shall we?
The room is a mix of a picture of Roxas' room in Twilight town and a picture of Ventus' room
