"Sora!"

"That didn't take long."

"I'm not much for words. Let's get out of here, they need you at the next stop." Sora smiled, Angel saw Roxas, and off they went.

"Is this really Hollow Bastion?"

"Looks like it." Angel smiled, looking around, feeling more at home here than she had anywhere else. She sighed and followed Sora farther into the town, Smiling brightly when she saw Yuffie.

"Angel! You're back!"

"It's been a while hasn't it?"

"Yeah. What're you here for this time?"

"Well, I gotta help this little fuck find his friend and get home. Seems he couldn't have done it by himself."

"Same old bullshit then?"

"Profoundly. Then again, I volunteered for this one."

"Why? Sounds boring as hell."

"It is but, my girlfriend was here, and Fate said I could find answers here." Sora gave her a curious look.

"Answers?"

"Sora. I have no memories of my past, up until a few cycles ago…. I've been searching for my past, for the truth of who I was. Though it means little to what I am now…. I still want to know." Her hands curled into fists and she closed her eyes, sighing a moment later.

" Speaking of it, have you seen Cloud lately, Yuffie?"

"Nope."

"Damn it. Now where did that little bastard run off to?" Angel sighed again. "Oh well, he's bound to turn up eventually. Next time you see him, tell him I'm back and I'm up for that rematch he wanted."

" I'm sure he'll be ecstatic." Angel laughed, nodding.

"Though the thought of him smiling makes my brain wanna burn."

"I know."

"Such a stiff…" it was Yuffie's turn to laugh, thought their conversation was interrupted, when a contingent of strange enemies ambushed them. These creatures were vastly different that the heartless and nobodies indigenous to his world, they had snake-like bodies though they had arms and long fingers tipped with sharp claws.

"Sora, they're Voidwraiths. Don't meet their eyes. Donald, don't even think about it, Magic makes them stronger." Angel cringed a bit as the silver sword she'd summoned reopened the burn on her hand. Angel closed her eyes, pulling the black cotton headband she'd been wearing down to cover her eyes, blindfolding herself. Using her aura sight, she moved to Sora's side.

"Ready, Kid. Don't let them bite you." Angel raced into the crowd of Voidwraiths, slaying them while narrowly dodging their strikes. Sora did not fare as well, taking numerous slashes and bites. When the last one was killed, Angel returned to Sora.

"Damn it kid, learn to dodge." Angel muttered a few colorful curses under her breath. "Don't freak out kid." Angel muttered as her body began to change, twisting into that of a white winged silver wolf. She put one paw on his chest, forcing him to the ground and set to licking his wounds.

A few moments later she let him up, his wounds healed, and she shifted back, sighing as she stood. "Been a long time since I've had to use my true form…" she glared at Sora. "You remember the last time, don't you, Yuffie?"

"Yep, the last time Cloud tried to get all tough with you."

"I kicked the crap out of him, blindfolded. But I didn't let him suffer to long."

"Healed him right after words."

"I probably should have left him like that a moment longer, lord knows it would have done him some good…."

"Come on, guys. The others are waiting for you." Angel nodded and smiled at Sora.

"Well, are we just gonna stand here all day."
