I looked around. I didn't see anyone anywhere. I was just floating is gray.

"You've been sleeping," a deep voice said. My eyes widened. I realized I could move. I sprouted up.

"Wha-"

"Funny. That was his reaction, too," the voice said.

"What is going on?" I growled.

"You've been sleeping. Here, between light and dark."

"What? I thought..." I paused, "Wait a minute! Where's Riku? We were together and we closed the door, right? Then there was a big heartless, right?" I questioned.

"Riku is fine," the voice said. I felt relieved.

"But why am I here?"

"You didn't have the power to prevail over darkness. No, you should have embraced the darkness."

"You make me sound almost dark!" I said, slightly laughing.

"You didn't care for darkness in the slightest bit, but your body was in a realm full of nothing but it. In fact, your, as you call, one true love is pure darkness himself."

"What? You don't make any sense!" I yelled. The voice laughed.

"Here, blanketed by darkness, sleep is safety. Sleep is eternal." My jaw dropped. What was he trying to say?

"Are you telling me to sleep here for the rest of my life? Ha! This is a dream. This is just crazy!" Then a light appeared in front of my face. It floated in a circle around me.

"This is the door to truth. Take it, and your sleep ends. Take it, and it's one step closer towards the truth. But know this, once you take that step, the truth could bring pain and suffering, or it could bring happiness and joy. Will you still go? Then again, sleep is safety. Sleep with more than likely bring you happiness. There can be no returning to the sweet security of sleep if you take this path."

The light was now a card, floating in front of my face. I thought about it. Should I take it? Did I want to really know the truth? Then I though of Riku. What was Riku doing right now? Was he given this choice? What did he do? I stayed strong. I was willing to accept pain. Sleep would get me no where. If I just slept, I would never see Riku again. I wouldn't accept that.

I grabbed the card.

"Just as I expected from you. Just like him," the voice said. Just like who? Riku? Yes, that had to be it. Riku made the same choice I did. I smiled.

A light came from the card. It shone in my eyes. It spread everywhere. Then I opened my eyes again. I was in another place. A white room. I looked around. I saw a yellow door. It was the only thing in here. I looked at the card, then back at the door. I gulped. I walked up to the door and tried to turn the handle. It wouldn't open. It need some kind of key. I took out my keyblade and tried to unlock it, but nothing happened. Then the card glowed in my hand. Was the card the key? I held it up to take a closer look at it, but there was a flash of light. Then I heard a click. I looked at the handle on the door. I opened the door.

What I saw suprised me.

"Is this..." I said, looking around at all the books and bookshelves.

"Yes," the voice said, "This is where you and Riku were first kept. Isn't it good to visit the places you once loved?"

"Who said I loved this place?" I muttered.

"You love this memory, don't you?" In seconds, I was in another place. I saw Riku and I talking. Of course, I looked stupid. Then the other me leaned into him.

This was when we first kissed.

I couldn't help but watch. Then I was taken from this memory to many others. Riku putting my keyblade necklace back on, saving me from the darkness. Seeing it clearly made me all warm inside. Then I saw memories that weren't my own. Riku's memories.
