Hey guys, sorry for the wait! Took a while to write this chapter, lost my flash drive that had this saved on it... OTL
I hope you guys like this chapter though, and to those of you who also read my D. Gray-Man story, Different Past: Same Future, I'll hopefully have that chapter out by Sunday.
Thank you for all the reviews so far! I love hearing your opinions!
I do not own Kingdom Hearts.
Sora let out a yawn as he swung his little legs over the edge of the wall on Twilight Town's clock tower, his antennas twitching happily.
It had been a week since Roxas had found him and took him back to The World That Never Was.
During that week Sora had not only explored the HUGE castle, but learned a lot of useful things as well.
That, apparently Roxas and Axel, along with the other eleven members, were what was called Nobodies, and that Nobodies were created after someone with a strong will turned into a Heartless.
And that every Organization member's name was spelled differently and with an X added.
So far Sora had figured out that Roxas was his nobody, and that Axel was someone named Lea's, (He had heard Saix call Axel, Lea… Were they friends before?)
Also, he had met a couple of other Org members. So far his favorite(Besides Roxas and Axel) was Demyx, who, for some reason, found Sora very, very amusing.
"He doesn't act like a normal Heartless!" Demyx claimed, when Axel had asked why he was so fascinated by Sora.
Which was true, as Saix and a few others had pointed out, Sora was far from a normal Heartless, such as the fact he couldn't summon the Corridors of Darkness to move around(He had to use the Org's).
Sora also had a couple other friends in the Organization, like the moogle that did their Items supplies.
Zexion and Luxford were okay to him, but Xigbar scared Sora to bits…
Roxas worked hard every day with the other members of the Org to get into shape and start learning new things, and each day after his training, or a mission, Axel and Roxas would go to TwilightTown's clock tower and eat Sea-Salt ice cream.
Sora would always tag along or be there first.
Axel had been surprised when, the first time he took Roxas to have some 'icing on the cake' and Sora had jumped up and swiped the ice cream from Axel's fingertips before eating it happily.
"You sure are one weird Heartless." Axel had told him, laughing. Roxas smiling slightly.
Since then they happily had Sora tag along after their long days.
One of Sora's antennas twitched as he sensed someone appear behind him.
~MEAN WHILE~
Riku sat on a bed in TraverseTown, his head buried in his hands, regret coursing through his veins.
Kairi, Donald, Goofy, Leon, Aerith, Yuffie and Cid were standing around the room(Or in Leon's case, leaning against the wall) staring at the floor.
"Oh… Sora…" Donald said sadly.
"It's my fault… If I hadn't opened the door, or given into the darkness, Sora wouldn't have…" Riku choked out, his voice breaking.
"It was Sora's decision." Leon said quietly, looking up, staring at the silently crying silverette. "He chose to become a Heartless to save Kairi."
Those words only made Kairi feel worse, having already blamed herself. "If I hadn't hidden my heart in Sora's, none of this would have happened!" She cried.
"We'll just have to trust that Sora will find the light again, and come back to us." Aerith said in her quiet voice.
"Yeah! Sora wouldn't have wanted us to be sad 'bout him bein' gone, we hafta still find the King!" Goofy piped up.
Riku slowly got up, quickly drying his tears with the back of his hand. "I'm… Going to go look for Sora." He mumbled quietly, summoning a dark portal.
"Riku! Wait!" Kairi called, taking a step forward as Riku stepped into the portal. A hand on her shoulder stopped her and she looked up at Leon, who was shaking his head.
"He's got to do it on his own… Or he'll never forgive himself." Leon said quietly, Kairi looking at the floor, tears in the corner of her eyes.
"Come on, let's get you home in the Gummy Ship! Alright?" Yuffie smiled, bouncing up to the girl. Kairi nodded slightly.
"You're welcome to visit us anytime you'd like Kairi." Aerith said, smiling at the red-head.
"Here, take this." Cid handed Kairi what appeared to be a cell-phone, a little strap with a Paopu fruit on it. "Any time ya want, just call us with this. Someon' will talk to ya." Cid explained.
"T-Thank you, all of you…" Kairi said quietly, smiling around at everyone.
~ELSE WHERE~
Riku stepped out of the portal, staring up at the dark sky above him.
"I swear, I'll find you… Even if I have to use the darkness inside my heart… Please… Wait for me Sora."
~BACK AT THE CLOCK TOWER~
"Hey Sora~!" Axel's cheery voice called to him, as the spiky red-head stepped out of the dark portal, walking over to the Heartless, who had jumped up at seeing the Nobody.
"Roxy not here yet?" Axel asked, petting Sora's head, swinging his legs over the edge of the wall as he sat down.
Sora shook his head, trying to get away from Axel's hand, taking a swipe at it.
"Hey, hey." Axel chuckled, taking his hand off the Heartless' head.
Sora whipped around as he felt his own Nobody drawing near, jumping up and down happily at seeing the ice cream's in the blonde's hand.
"Hey Axel, Sora." Roxas sat on the opposite of Sora, leaning over the shadow as he handed Axel his ice cream, before sticking one into Sora's waiting mouth, taking a bite of his own.
Sora jumped happily, eating the ice cream, sitting back down and swinging his little Heartless legs, causing Roxas to laugh, and even Axel to chuckle.
Sora toned the other two out as the talked about their missions for the day, only paying attention to the important details while he watched the sunset.
Suddenly, he felt as if his whole body hurt, as if the heart he knew he didn't have was breaking.
"Is something wrong Sora?" Roxas suddenly cut off Axel in the middle of his sentence, looking down at the little Heartless, Axel looking down at him as well.
Sora sniffled, or at least sniffled the best a Shadow Heartless could, staring sadly at the ground.
"Hey now… Cheer up, okay..?" Roxas gently rubbed Sora's head.
Sora blinked away the tears he knew he couldn't have.
"C'mon." Roxas hugged Sora, setting the Heartless in his lap.
Being so close to Roxas, his body and soul… And the light he felt coming from Roxas cheered Sora up, just a little bit.
"How 'bout we buy you two ice creams tomorrow?" Axel suggested, having only known the Heartless for a week, but hating whenever he saw the little guy sad.
With that said Sora jerked his head up and nodded quickly, bouncing out of Roxas' lap and dancing on the wall.
'Two ice creams! Two ice creams for me!' Sora 'sang'. Roxas and Axel laughing.
As much as Sora missed his friends, and everyone he knew. He just couldn't leave Roxas… No, not yet at least. Not until he knew how he could have his body and soul back, yet have Roxas around still.
Not until then.
Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Please Read and Review, I'd love to hear your opinions! ~Snow.
