Okay for one I'm going to thank all the people who followed (if new ones follow me I will acknowledge them) me or this story: DanteTheDemon7, boombox997, leonrellic, Sentinel07, Drexan, ChilledKitsune, superstoyboi124, and HatchetChu.

For reviews I would like to thank Sentinel07, ChilledKitsune, and HatchetChu.

Okay I'm sorry for being really late with this chapter school has started up and I was at a major writing block well 2 actually. But so you guys know I'm going to do the seven days that I should have done for the 2nd-8th chapters. I'm sorry for people who want to see what happens next but I have been able to write them more quickly because my muse has finally given me ideas. I hope that I will be able to update more often now. Oh and one more note for a tiny bit you see the story through Naminé's POV mainly because I have to do it in the control room and I hate DiZ (I'm sorry to the people who do but he is really mean to my characters in 358/2). Well without further delay here is my next chapter that came to me in math class.


7 days earlier

What is with these dreams. No not dreams… these are Sora's memories. I see through his eyes of what he has done. I can't move when I'm in them… Was it like this when Xion started to give back to Sora his memories? I wonder…

"Man doesn't that tick you off?"

"Yeah, that's just wrong."

"Seifer's gone too far this time."

Oh I had forgotten I was with my friends Haner, Pence and Ollette in Twilight Town.

What was I thinking about just now? Damn, I can't remember. It is like there is something pressuring me to forget. It is like my mind is in a fog.

"I mean it's true that stuff's been stolen around town and we've got a score to settle with Seifer and everything. So if he wants to think we did it, I can't really blame him." Haner had been ranting about this for the past hour now. "See… that's not what really bugs me. What REALLY bugs me is that he's goin' around tellin' everybody we're the thieves! Now the whole town and their mothers are treating us like the Klepto Club. Have you ever been so damn ticked off before in your life? 'Cause I haven't. Nuh-uh, NEVER." He takes a second to breath. "Now… what to do?"

There was a pause Ollette looked for me to say something.

"Well, uh… We could find the real thieves and set the record strait."

"That sounds fun." Pence commented.

"What about Seifer?" Haner asked.

"First lets find the real thieves and clear our names." Ollette said determined.

"Oh, no! They're gone! Our _ are gone."

Everyone including me went wide eyed at that last sentence. Pence struggled to find out why he couldn't say _.

"You mean our _ were stolen too?!" Ollette exclaimed. Then she gasped. "Why can't we say _?"

I speak first with an answer part of the fog lifting from my head.

"Stolen. Not just the _ but word itself."

"What kind of thief is that?"

"My best guess would be a Dusk. I've heard when I was in the Organization that if they are told to steal information or a person they don't have the best judgment. They might take all the _ of that person but the person himself. Looks like the Organization is after me but they were dumb enough to send the Dusks and not one of the surviving members. Though I'm still confused about how the stole a word… I'm sure Axel would know, he is the expert on the Organization's skills and tactics now."

Everyone just stared at me like I had grown a second head. Through what I just said all of my real memories had reawakened and the fog had fully lifted. My eyes start to grow wide as I realize that I had never really been friends with these three.

I shout not really to anyone but to the world "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!"


"He is running wild." The man spoke behind me in a deep voice. "You must stop him, the Nobodies are coming and with him like that it would be easier to find him. They will try to destroy him, good ridence of another Nobody but we still need this Nobody for just a bit longer. His heart is returning and when it does Sora will finally awaken."

"…"

"The worlds would be better off f Nobodies didn't exist."

I just want to be my own person. That's what most Nobodies want, but Roxas has the will power reach that unattainable heart, he also has something that he wants back that he is willing to give his existence for. He could gain her and a heart without my meddling…

"Naminé, Change his memories make him forget who he was. We still need him."

"…Yes DiZ…"


My mind started to move again when I came to I was getting off the ground like I had fallen. We were on our way out to find the real thieves.

"Hey Roxas get up. If we don't cleat our names we won't be able to stay in the Struggle tournament." Haner said to me while I was getting up.

"Oh yeah, that's this week and we both made it into the finals. Then we have to do it fast." I said running after them.

"Where should we start looking?" Pence asked as I caught up.

"How about the abandoned mansion? Since everyone thinks its haunted nobody goes there. The perfect spot for a thief to retreat to." Olette suggested.

"Fine, then I can give that bastard a piece of my mind." Haner growled.

We walked though the sandlot to get to the edge of town, there we met Seifer and his gang.

When they saw us Fuu spoke first. "Thieves"

After that Rai asked us, "That was low, y'know!"

Vivi just pulled his hat down and shook his head.

"Oh yeah." Is all that Haner said.

"Nice comeback there, blondie." We heard Seifer retort as he approached up.

"What'd you say?" Haner growled at him

"You can give us back the _ now." He demanded

"Yeah! You're the only ones who would take it, y'know." Rai said to back Seifer up.

"That was undeniable proof that we totally owned you lamers. So what did you do? Burn it? Ha, not like we need some _ to prove you're losers."

"Replay." Fuu said.

Seifer laughed before he said, "Now you're talking!"

Everyone but Pence got into a fighting stance.

"I guess if you get on your knees and beg, MAYBE I'll let it slide."

I walk forward thinking to do it to let his guard down and go down on my knees. They start laughing at me and Haner Pence and Olette are stunned. I slightly look up and see a struggle bat on the ground.

I grab it then take a swing a Seifer's face. I make a clean hit sending him flying. He rubs his chin and then grabs a nearby struggle bat, both of us in a fighting stance.

"Come on… quit playin' around and fight!" Seifer says.

I lunge at him he blocks my attack, sending me back. He does and attack spin hitting me in my back sending me flying. He jumps up to get another hit in. I roll out of the way and strike him in the back while he was still in the air. He skidded on the ground. I charge at him he spins his bat around defensively but I was able to block his attack. His arm gets flown back making him let go of his bat. I then hit him with a barrage of attacks the last on sending him flying landing on the ground. Rai and Fuu stand in front of him to protect him.

"Seifer's not feelin' so hot, y'know!" Rai said defensively.

All Fuu said was, "Tournament decides."

Pence then takes out his camera and takes a picture of me with Seifer on the ground in the background.

All of a sudden a white blur goes around Pence and takes his camera. It then just flies off in the direction of the mansion.

"What the hell was that?" Haner asked starting to run after the figure

"The thief?" Olette suggested running after him with Pence and me.

We run through the hole in the wall that leads to the forest. We see it jumping from tree to tree on its way to the mansion. We run after it and it stops at the mansion. Another white figure appears next to it that kinda looks like a samurai.

I can hear it say, "We have come for you, my liege."

I'm a bit confused and the first white figure takes the chance to hit Haner, Pence and Olette in the back sending them crashing into the old gate knocking them out. I come to my senses and ready my struggle bat and try to hit the second figure. My bat just fazes through it and hits nothing.

The other creature runs at me and I familiar feeling comes to me in my hands the weight gets heavier and out of pure instinct I block the attack. I jump spinning over its head and slice the first figure in half, turning it into white goo before it fades away. I look at the samurai figure.

"Why are you attacking me if I'm the one you take orders from?" I ask it.

All it does is disappear leaving the photos behind it. I look down at the blade at my hand seeing a key shaped blade.

My keyblade.

Before I could wonder who would send my subordinates to get me another thought as if by force comes to my head.

Are Haner Pence and Olette okay?

I run over to see them. They were still knocked out and had a few bruises. Nothing that serious to treat. I wait a few minutes before they start to come to. Haner who wakes up first groans looking up seeing that I'm up then looks around to see that Olette and Pence were starting to wake up.

He looks back at me and then asks. "Roxas, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?! The last thing I remember is that the thief's friend said something to you and the other guy hit us! If it took one hit to knock us out how come you're still up?!"

I sigh helping him up. "You guys they hit first, by the time they got to me I had my bat ready to fight them. I was able to knock out the first guy, then the second grabbed his friend and fled leaving the these behind."

I show them what the Samurai left behind.

Olette exclaimed, "Hey! These are the missing photos!" she gasped at what she said, "the word photo is back too!"

"Yeah we we can say photo now. Whoever the thief was, they were really talented to be able to steal a word." Pence commented. "Now we can return the photos and clear our names."

"Hey guys check this out." Olette said.

"What is it?" I ask.

"Look at these photos they all have you in them, Roxas." Olette stated in surprise.

"Really?"

I looked at all the photos. It was true in each picture I was in them.

"Maybe those guy were after you, Roxas, but took the photos instead of the real you." Pence suggested.

"C'mon, get serious. Why the hell would anyone want a boneheaded zombie like Roxas?" Haner said.

"Oh thanks." I say sarcastically and we all laugh.

Why is being called a zombie familiar?

"Hey we should head back now and return the photos." Olette called over to me while the rest were leaving.

I look up at the mansion.

What's this feeling that I need to go in there? Could it be-

"Come on Roxas you nee to be there too if your not then you'll still be thought as the thief and you can't compete in the tournament." Haner yelled at me pulling me out of my thoughts.

I turn away from the mansion, something in my chest starting to build up wanting me to say.


Yey finally another chapter I'm sorry to anyone who thinks it sucks and I'm sorry to anyone who likes DiZ but to people who don't tell me who you want me to use to beat him up out of the characters I have already used and how they will attack like weapon wise and I will choose the best idea and use that in a future chapter.

Please review it gives me more confidence in my story. Bye!~3
