Sorry for the long wait I had stupid coursework to do and on top of that I have exams in Jan, so you won't be hearing from me till they're over! So since I'm a nice person I'll give you guys and gals chapter 4 of Binding Ties as an early Xmas present and as for my present you can give me REVIEWS! Doesn't that sound fair? Of course it does!

Anyways enough of my rant, onto our featured presentation!

Like always I don't KH or any of their characters but I still own Rena which Square Enix still can't have so THERE!

Chapter 4- Why?

We walked through the endless white hallways, which quite frankly were getting a bit boring; I mean everything is just freaking plain WHITE!

"Hey Saix you guys should consider getting an interior decorator for this place"

"Why is that?" He asked amused.

"Well white is so last century" I replied.

"So what's this century?"

"Anything but WHITE!" I exclaimed and he chuckled. I swear I get the feeling that he's never laughed before...Or maybe that's me?

We came to a corridor with doors on either side, some with roman numerals on them I to XIII. Saix stopped us at the door next to number XIII.

"This is your room."

"Oh goodie..." I sighed.

He pushed the door open and we entered into my 'supposed' room. It was still freaking WHITE, I am so gonna get some colour into this castle, believe it! The room obviously had the essentials: A bed, a desk with chair and a wardrobe. But it also had a large window, revealing the large heart shaped moon, with a balcony stretching from the large window.

"So what do you think?" Saix voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Oh well the colour obviously sucks, which I'm gonna change, but that balcony over there makes up for it" I replied.

Saix smirked, "Oh really? Well I'm glad you find it suitable to your needs."

I turned to him, "Saix lighten up will ya? You can drop the formal act, I don't need it" I winked at him.

He didn't reply but merely stared at me "Err, Saix? You okay?" I asked waving my hand in front of his face.

He shook his head and coughed before turning to the doorway.

"You going?" I asked.

"Get comfortable." He just stated.

"Saix?" I asked once more.

He didn't turn back, he just left. Geez what's up with him? What did I say that made his attitude change completely? I shrugged, oh well his loss.

I stood for a moment thinking what to do next, my eyes searching; they found themselves on the bed. Well Saix did say to get comfortable right? So I guess I will. I plopped on the bed, unsheathing my sword before me. This sliver blade has protected me for a long time now and was a parting gift from my master, before he left this world. I gazed at my reflection from the blade; it's been a long time since I looked at myself. My violet hair has definitely been growing and always my eyes...No I meant my eye is still the same. My hand finding its way to the long fringe I grew to cover that eye I snapped back to reality and stopped my hand from drawing closer, not yet...Not until I find them...

My friends, the one's that took care of me and became like family to me...the family that I thought I wouldn't lose in a million years...

I met those three friends of mine after 'that man' who I no longer acknowledge as my father deserted me and left me in that orphanage. A kind lady who I saw as my mother named Edea, looked after us, I stopped waiting for that man to come back, because they made me forget all about him.

Those three...

Whose names I can't remember...but why?

Is it because of that day?

All I can remember is what they looked like and how they acted. One was the youngest out of the four of us; He was a year younger than me though, he had short brunette hair and cute cerulean eyes, he was like the younger brother I never had. The other was older than me by two years, he was the practical joker of the gang and usually played tricks on my so called 'younger brother' I remember him having long spiky brown hair, which always looked slightly red in the sunlight and jaded emerald eyes. The last...The last made me feel a different way from the others...I think I had a crush on him...He was obviously the oldest from our lot, he was older than me by three years and he took care of us, mainly me...It was because of him that the other two and others in the Orphanage warmed up to me, he was like their leader or something. He had short navy coloured hair, but it was his eyes that probably made me fall for him, those unique crimson eyes which I've never seen before. Well his eyes and just...Well him basically...

I can still feel his aura glimmering brightly within the darkness of the worlds and the others, but I can't get a completely hold on where exactly they are. It must be because they are no longer who they originally were.

That's why I came with Saix, because I have a hunch that they're nobodies and not heartless, as heartless don't give a 'bright' aura like 'living beings' and nobodies do, only a 'black' aura. They must be nobodies like Saix is; I know it cos they had strong hearts to become one.

But I have one problem. Actually two...

The first one is figuring out what Xemnas 'the leader guy' wants from me because I don't think he'd just let anyone which isn't a nobody to just stay here without wanting something in return.

And the other is what I meant to do once I found my 'friends' or what's left of them. If my hunch is right, there's nothing else for me to do because they probably won't remember me. What am I supposed to do?

Then it hit me...

Why I am doing this?

Saix paced up and down the corridor of rooms, deep in thought.

'What is wrong with me? When did I become so...Soft? What is it about this girl that makes me...?'

He stopped in front of Rena's room and stared deeply at the door.

'Why do I feel?'


To be continued as always...

Here's some tiny random bonus material

Me: Aww...Poor Saix-Waixy finally realizes he has feelings!

Saix looks at me with raised eyebrow: Saix-Waixy? You do know that last bit sounds like waxy?

Me: (Shrugs) Oh well any reason you're here?

Saix: Yes! How dare you make me look like some love struck fool!

Me: Err, no I didn't otherwise you'd be like 'Oh Rena come into my arms so I can embrace your petite body and smell your sweet scent' actually that doesn't sound like a bad idea...

Saix: (Shudders thinking of that really happening)

Rena reads the above and looks at Saix strangely with a smile.

Rena: I didn't know you really fancied me?

Saix turns away and grits his teeth in annoyance.

I grin at Rena and hi five her!

Rena: Girl power RULES!

Me: Damn straight!
