Hey guys! Chapter Eight is typed and ready to read!

I know that Roxas has yet to make an appearance in my story, I apologize (He is my favorite character after all) I will be introducing him sooner than you expect.

OH! And one more thing, If you guys want me to make the story a little more action-packed, let me know!

Sora: "Yeah you need to add some action, I think I fell asleep from lack of challenges."

Me: "If you fell asleep, why are you talking to me now? That sounds a little derogatory don't you think?"

Sora: "Whatever."

Me: "Yeah whatever little sister."

Sora: "You little..."

Enjoy the story folks!


I leapt out of my bed and summoned the Keyblade... My breathing was labored as I finally realised what happened, I had fallen asleep and had a nightmare... plain and simple...

"Who were you dreaming about?" I turned to my window and growled as I spotted Yuffie, "None of your freakin' business Yuffie!"

She pouted with her hands on her hips, "Now that's not the way you talk to your friends!"

I smirked evilly at her, "Friends? Since when were YOU my friend?" I dismissed my keyblade and said, "You lost the right to call me friend when you tried to 'fight' me yesterday."

Yuffie jumped down from the window sill and sauntered over to me, "I don't want you as a friend..." She grinned, "What I want mister waiter, ain't on the menu." She raised her arms toward me, I jumped backwards and summoned the Keyblade and pointed it at her, "DON'T TRY ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!" I scowled at her and turned to the door, "I LOVE KAIRI, not you... not anyone else... I told you once, now I've told you twice, if you can't accept the truth, I don't want to be your friend."

I stepped to the door... I froze as I recognized the sound of someone crying.

I turned back to Yuffie. She was sitting on my bed with her head in her hands... crying.

I groaned and walked over to her, "Don't cry... I just don't want to screw-up my chances with Kairi... She means everything to me, I fought for her, I begged for her, I gave up my heart to free her. I just want people to understand how hard I tried to finally obtain what I've wanted." I sat down next to her, "Can't we just be friends?"

Yuffie turned her head to me. Her eyes were swollen and red, I couldn't help myself so I hugged her, "I'm sorry, I just want things to go back to the way they were."

I released her and stood, "Are we square?" Yuffie gazed at me... for several minutes. She stood and said, "Only if you give me another kiss..."

I choked and sputtered, "W-what? N-no I c-can't do that!" She frowned at me, "You would rather have this war continue?"

I shook me head. She grinned, "If you give me a kiss, I will leave you and Kairi alone...permanantly."

I couldn't belive this! I just finished telling her that I wanted nothing to do with her if she continued all of this nonsense, and now she was trying to blackmail me into kissing her! I shook my head slowly... if a kiss was the price of my relationship with Kairi... then I would pay that price...

I stepped toward her and said, "Alright... But just this once!"

I snaked my arms around her waist and lightly pressed my lips to hers. My first instinctual reaction was to pull away... but for some reason I intensified the kiss...

God forgive me... I was enjoying it... as strongly as I argued against it, I was enjoying it...

Yuffie groaned into my mouth as she pressed herself to me, I pulled her closer.

No, no, NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!, I screamed to myself. I somehow managed to regain control over my treacherous body, and forced myself away from her.

"Never again." I growled, I turned from her and hissed over my shoulder, "Never again... I WILL NEVER KISS YOU AGAIN." I stormed from the room, seriously debating wheather or not to start casting a Destrugun spell at anything that looked even remotely like a living creature.

Yuffie's POV

I grinned as he left, "I got him! By God I've got him now!"

I turned to faced the window, and bounded out into the cool night air.

Sora's POV

I sat on a balcony on the sixty-seventh floor of the castle. I was at least three hundred feet from the ground. Radient Garden looked as peaceful as it could possibly be. Not a single sound could be heard, the night air reinforced the feeling of seclusion this world had.

I smiled as a streak of light skimmed across a row of cloud. I usually never had the chance to observe a shooting-star. But my crest-fallen attitude returned at the star's absence.

I was disgusted with myself... How could I have done such a despicable thing? I've betrayed Kairi... I've betrayed myself... especially myself.

"Don't worry, I'm sure Yuffie meant what she said about leaving you alone." I looked to my left to see Roxas sitting next to me, like usual he held two Sea-Salt Ice Cream bars. He held one out to me and said, "Take it, you're gonna need it."

I accepted it and forced it into my mouth, "Thanks Roxas... you above anyone else knows how it feels to be between a rock and a hard place don't ya?"

Roxas nodded absently and gave his ice-cream a lick, "I've been there... With two people... Namine, the girl who showed me who I was during my imprisonment in Simulated Twilight Town... And Xion... I still can't believe I remember her... She spent more time with me than Axel, I can honestly say that I love her... even if she was a replica of you and me... God she was beautiful."

I nodded and took a bite out of my ice-cream.

The wind was starting to pick up. It was cold, but I couldn't care less at the moment. "Roxas... do you know anything about my dream earlier?"

Roxas closed his mouth over the remains of his ice-cream and pulled out the now-clean stick, "Yeah, I remember what happened... don't you?" He asked with genuine concern.

I shook my head, "Barely... All I remember is a voice saying 'Ask The King if he remembers Terra.' nothing else."

Roxas nodded, "You don't remember fighting Ventus?" I turned and gaped at him, "Ventus? Who's Ventus?"

Roxas flicked his popcicle stick out into the air and watched it drop. He recounted the entire encounter to me.

I leaned back, bracing my arms against the cold stone, "So, I have access to all of Ventus' abilities?"

Roxas nodded. I sighed and sniffed loudly, it was starting to get bitterly cold.

I braced my hands on the ground and backflipped into a standing position, "C'mon man, we should be getting to bed." I held out my hand.

Roxas shook his head and mimicked my actions. He tucked his hands behind his head and grinned, "Even if I'm supposed to be Ventus, you and me have so many similarities it's not even funny." I rolled my eyes and started back to my room.


Sorry for the short length, but I ran out of ideas. With some good luck I should have a fresh batch tomorrow! (and a good writing coach...)

This is Stephen L. Groves signing off... Until next time Keyblade wielders!
