Chapter 3:A Sleeping Friend.

I walked over to where she had been earlier and looked inside the two pods. I saw Donald and Goofy, sleeping away as their memories were being put back together. I smiled upon seeing my two dear friends, knowing that they would wake up in no time.

Namine and I talked a little bit with each other until Riku and DiZ entered the room.

"You'll find him through those doors right there." DiZ pointed at the doors he was talking about, and I could only assume he was talking about Sora.

Riku nodded in response before grabbing my hand and pulling me into the room with him. The room was very white and had a very strange green lines, which I could I assume were some energy source, running to the pod that stood before us. I walked right up to it and looked at who the pod held inside.

"Sora." I looked back upon hearing Riku speak. His face showed many emotions running through his mind. I looked back in front of me to look at my dearest friend, sleeping away in the pod as he got his memory put back together. I smiled sadly at Sora, taking in his appearance. He had definitely grown since the last time I had seen him, and it was quite obvious, judging by how small his clothes looked on him now. He looked more grown up now.

Memories of Sora, Riku, Kairi and I back on the islands together popped into my head. We would always sit on the beach all day and play….it seems like it had happened years ago, when it had only been months ago.

'I wonder if we'll ever see the islands again…' I thought to myself, tears quietly falling from my eyes. I placed a hand gently on the pod in front of me.

"Sora…you fool." I heard Riku move to come stand next to me as he spoke. "Why did you do this to yourself? You promised you would take care of Kairi for me." I smiled slightly, remembering his last words to him when he had closed the doors to the realm of darkness on him.

I looked over at Riku, whose face was contorted with anger, sorrow, and a numerous amount of unreadable emotions.

"You idiot…." He whispered. "You stupid idiot!" He pounded his fists against the glass of the pod angrily, causing me to jump slightly. He slid down to his knees, placing his head against the glass, his eyes hidden from me by his hair.

He remained silent. I stood there quietly, tears falling from my eyes. I looked down at Riku, and I felt a pang go through my chest. I moved closer to him and sat down on the ground next to him.

"…." He didn't say anything.

"….You know…it seems that every time you ask him to do a job for you, he always ends up sleeping on it." I tried to lighten the mood, and I really couldn't tell if it had worked. "I know you blame yourself for this…but you have to understand that it's not your fault. He chose this because he wanted to remember everything and everyone. He chose this himself…."

"Im not worth loosing his memories over…" Riku said.

"Stop blaming yourself!" I screamed at him, anger rising inside me. "It's not your fault! Blaming yourself only makes it harder on you." tears fell down my cheeks as I spoke.

"Why shouldn't I? It's all my fault and, you know it." Riku is probably the most stubborn person that I know.

"….I blame myself for this just as much as you do…" He looked at me, shock written all over his face.

"But it's not your fault that Sora's like this!"

"My point exactly. Don't you understand? It's no ones fault that he's asleep. He chose to sleep himself. It's not like anyone forced him too. He was given the option of leaving the castle without his memories he lost, or sleeping to get them back. He chose this himself." I wrapped my arms around Riku's neck from behind, and hugged him gently.

"…." He remained silent the entire time.

"Im going to bed." I mumbled to him, standing up quietly. I glanced back down at Riku, who made no acknowledgement to what I had just said. "You should get some rest too, Riku…" I placed my hand gently on his shoulder, hoping he would get some sleep. "Good-night." I walked away from him and out of the doors, which closed behind me as I left the room. I was greeted by the faces of the King and Namine.

"How is he?" Mickey asked me.

"To be perfectly honest…I'm not quite sure how he is. He blames himself for this…but I think we should just give him some time…he'll be alright eventually." I yawned after I had spoken.

"You must be very tired. I'll show you to your room." The king said, walking a little ways in front of me, gesturing me to follow him. I smiled at him and turned to Namine.

"Good night."

"Don't worry…I'll make sure he doesn't stay in there all night. You just get some sleep, ok?" Namine said, patting my shoulder in reassurance.

"Thank you." I walked over to he king and we walked out into the foyer of the mansion.

"Your rooms are upstairs. This way." We both descended the stairs above and walked down a dark hallway, where we finally stopped in front of a door.

"This is your room. Well, you should sleep for now. Good-night May."

"Good night Mickey." He exited the room, closing the door behind him. I walked over to the bed and fell face first into it. I was so tired, and all I wanted was to sleep.

I got exactly what I asked for.
