"Sora!" A voice called to him. 'Who's there?' He was in a dark place. All he could see was faint figures. "Sora." The voice said again. Then out of nowhere, thousands of heartless. "SORA!!" His eyes shot open. He was sweating. He looked around franticly. 'My room...? It was just a dream...' He thought. "SORA!! GET OUT OF BED! YOUR GONNA BE LATE!!" His mothers horrible screeches rang up the stairs to him. "Okay, okay!" He yelled to her. He quickly got dressed and ran out the door. Right as he was almost to the doors he heard the familiar female voice. "Hey Sora!" 'Kairi...' He sighed mentally. "Hey Kairi." He said friendlily. "Whats up?" She said with a broad grin. The bell went off right as Sora was to reply. "Gotta go now! See ya!" She said. 'Unusually hyper today...' He thought as he walked to class.

Kairi ran enthusiastically to class. She wasn't paying attention and ended up crashing into someone. They both went tumbling to the ground. "I'M SO SORRY!" She cried. The girl lay sprawled on the ground, a dumbfounded look on her face. "Xenia! Are you okay?! Kairi? Whats going on?" Riku walked up looking at them. Xenia pushed Kairi off and stood up. "Watch it." She said barely above a whisper. Kairi watched the girl walk off as if nothing happened. "Have you seen Sora?" Riku asked. "Yeah! He was out front by the gate when I saw him!" She said and ran off before Riku could reply. Riku sighed and went to class.

The day seemed to go on for eternity. All Sora wanted to do was get out of class and see Riku. The bell rang for lunch and Sora ran to the commons as fast as he could. He saw Riku greeted him with a warm hug. "Hey Sora." Riku said warmly and kissed Sora quickly on the cheek. Sora blushed and as soon as they were about to sit, a heart-stopping scream filled the air. Everyone glance to the doors that led to the field. A dark figure hovered over Selphie. Sora ran outside, Riku followed quickly. "A HEARTLESS?!" Sora cried. He froze. 'I never thought... I would see a heartless again... No... No please...' He thought. The heartless lunged for him. It was a brand of heartless he had not yet seen. It seemed much more vicious. Sora was frozen in shock. Before Riku could move a figure was immediately in front of Sora. Weapons grazed the creature. She whirled around and shoved Sora out of the way. "Get out of the way!" She hissed. Sora just stared in shock as she destroyed the heartless and faced him. "X-Xenia..." He said, still in shock.

Xenia dragged him and Riku away and pushed them around a corner. A familiar figure stood before them. "King Mickey?!" Sora exclaimed. "Shh!" The king said. Riku turned to Xenia and grabbed her by the shoulders. "What the hell is going on?!" He shook her and The King grabbed his hand. "She is helping me. You'll get an explanation soon enough. Come with me." Riku let go of Xenia and he and Sora followed Mickey.

They found themselves in a laboratory like area. There was a wall with a cage on it. Inside was one of the heartless they had encountered earlier. Xenia stared at them as the King lead them to the cage. Her single ice blue eye was all that showed. A lock of hair blocked view of the her deep grey eye. "Whats going on your majesty?" Riku said bluntly, looking down at the small figure. "A new brand of heartless has been born. We were able to eliminate most. Some just happened to appear in your world. We are doing test's on this one you see here." The mouse pointed to the cage where the violent creature twitched madly. "Does that mean you need help again... To exterminate the heartless?" Sora said solemnly. "No. We can handle this ourselves." The mouse continued. "I just thought you deserved an explanation." Sora let out a sigh of relief

They returned to a worried crowd hovering over Selphie. She sat up groaning. "What happened?" She said slowly. "We don't know. You screamed and we all just found you lying here." Kairi explained and helped the younger girl to her feet. "Oh... Okay." Selphie said, still a little groggy. Kairi lent her a shoulder and guided her to the nurses office. Xenia brushed by the people and walked silently to the parking lot out front. 'Whats with that girl?' Riku thought. He and Sora turned and walked away.
