chapter 7: we're stuck here for a few years?

Twilight town mansion

Xander woke up took in his surroundings he was in a large bed his coat was still on Xion was right next to him he didn't mind this but he did somewhat started laughing in his head when he saw Axel and roxas in the same bed hugging he then sat up and saw who was standing in front of him who was someone he never thought he see again and with a start he summoned divinity into his hand and attacked him telling in rage "How are you still alive Ansem?" he then cocked a smile and said "damn you have worse temper then Andre and second of all I'm not Ansem it's me Riku just having a losing battle in the heart if get what im saying" Xander stepped back and said "well I get to finish his plan after all" "what plan?" riku asked and without a second thought he plunged Divinity into riku's heart and turned it " you see Riku before Ansem used SoulEater to kill him he was going to use Divinity on you to dispel Ansem from your body and then kill you for betraying him. During all this riku's body changed back to his old body except silver hair at the length past his shoulders a bit and Xander removed Divinity he continued while he walked back to the bed that had Xion on it "Divinity works like an anti-SoulEater instead of spreading darkness it spreads light into ones heart and dispels any dark things or beings from it now that took a lot out of me so I'm going to rest and thank me later" Saying Riku was shocked was an understatement he thought after he removed that blindfold that was no turning back he had tears in his eyes as he left seeing Namine she asked "Riku are they awa- oh my god Riku your back to normal how?" Riku just smiled as tears ran down his face "Thanks to an old friend."

next time Xander woke up he thought he was still dreaming cause now Xion was laying right on top of him trying to kiss him " Morning beautiful shouldn't we have a date first before we go any further?" he joked she then lightly punched in the arm when he said it but played along " you're no fun. you think you'd make an exception this we both almost died?"

They kissed again and then the moment shattered again with saying

"Almost died or not there are two other people in the room that sees you two as little siblings so please for love of god stop." "Actually make that four people that don't want to see that" they all turned to see Riku with Namine next to him looking a little shy "and by the way thanks Xan anyways everybody this is Namine aka Kari's nobody and she has power over memories so don't fuck with her she won't fuck with you until the final part of the plan which might take longer since we need to build another device for axel which reminds me Roxas come here for a second " while saying this he was powering a familiar looking device "Alright but why do you need-" and then promptly punched him hard in the gut Roxas then cringed to the ground and Namine helped him up "oh god you guys fought Saix while feeling this you guys masochists or something uh oh." Xion and Xander then hit him in the back of the head for that comment " no you Baka we were trying to protect the ones we cared about no matter the cost or amount of pain. Why you're in that list we have no idea." they laughed at this while Roxas crawled back to a bed to lay on and mull through the pain "Anyway with Axel now here when need to find his heart to become whole also and another device so that he can keep his individuality while whole that could take about a couple years counting the process of putting everybody's memories back into place so that everybody remembers your others and.." he cringed at the next part "then explaining everything to Kari" Everybody was confused about that except Namine "let's just say when she's around sora she's sweet but shes very protective of Sora and a bit the jealous type even though nothing happened between them trust me when you see them together it'll be obvious that they're in love with each they're just to nervous to do anything about it." Axel inserted his comparison "So like Xander and Xion when they first started working together sorry guys I had to ask Roxas what was going on during the months I was gone don't hurt him for he's already in great pain as we can see." "well anyway here is the man who thought of this Diz aka Ansem the wise." "Riku are telling me that dick of a heartless is still alive and you're still working for him?" then a man in a red cloak and bandages on his faces walked into the room "that heartless was an imposter and of my former student I only want a few things bring the keyblade wielders back into more than a handful into an academy again and to bring down the organization."

After a few hours of long winded explanations of how the plan is going to work Xander finally made a comment " let me get this straight until Sora and the others are ready we're stuck here in this mansion for a few couple years and we can't go to any other worlds let alone go into town because the organization and to make sure of this the devices you planted in us will increase the amount of pain we feel until we ultimately pass out or come back to the mansion so we're basically under a house arrest even though we came willingly and we're your allies? Dude you got a fucked up way of treating allies." Namine leaned over and said "Welcome to my world basically."

"Yeah well since we're stuck mind if we set you up with Roxas see if that'll help Sora and Kairi get the ball rolling when they see each other?"

Namine nodded "sure besides he is pretty cute." she then looked at Roxas a bit seductively He then blushed and looked away. "well old man I got one question is there a music room cause if we have to stay here a couple years might as well be artistically stimulated I know bout everybody here can sing even you broody." pointing towards Riku "Don't brood" "yeah you do" "known you for a few hours and you been brooding for half that time" "anyway i can play guitar Roxas can play bass and axel is a drumming machine so how bout tomorrow we have karaoke night with all of us playing the songs instead if a karaoke machine all in favor?" everybody raised there hand "alright then and Riku can I talk to you I private?" "figured we'd have to do this but I thought Andre would be doing it but you're so much like him you might as well be him follow me I got an idea of what this talk will include we have a training room so that you don't go out of shape I just have one rule no keyblades or magic not yet anyways give it a few months for the devices to sink in and not give great physical damage whenever you summon a keyblade let's go" Xion tugged on Xander's arm and looked at him full of worry "Be careful" Xander hugged and said "I will, and I'll be right back love you Xi" and then he just left Namine then walked up to her and said "Did he just say to you what I think he said?" Xion nodded and looked down "but how do I know he actually means it?" Namine snapped her fingers " I know I got an idea have him sing a song tomorrow about how he loves you it's said that when some one sings a song about what they're feeling it shows clear as day on their faces there is no way to fake it." "that's a good idea and I overheard what Xan offered and I got an idea how bout duet between you and Roxas? It'll be perfect." "I like the way you think."

Training room

"Alright let's get things straight even though I helped you Riku I don't trust you." Riku looked at him blankly "I understand but I thought I would only have to do this with Andre which probably have to also I don't think this just about me betraying Andre and Sarah," Xander looked at in surprise "I do-don't know what you're talking about Riku" his confidence shaking "oh please Xan you've been what in the organization for what a few months it was you're unshakable base of belief that you;d be whole of you followed orders and Xemnas was your shinning example of what you wanted to be as a nobody and then I come from out of nowhere and tell you that your cause was just a lie and you're basically where I was a year ago a pawn of the same person" Xander lunged at him, he dodged and Xander made hole in the wall he punched he then dropped to his knees defeated knowing what he said was true "you're right Riku the only I've fought for so far is so that organization could make KH I could be whole again and now," he looked at his hands and began sobbing "What the hell do I have to fight for now?" "You god damn idiot you still have Xion don't you?" Riku pulled him up to his feet "You love her dont you then fight for her and if you think she's unconvinced right now then use tomorrow night to proclaim your love for her. And i wanted you guys to play something for me that night also." He then pulled out a slip of paper for his pocket and handed it to Xander who looks at it and grins "this song just screams you man."
