Sora's sensations seemed to switch off. Slowly, his mind was going as well. He felt cold, even with the thick blanket Roxas had found and draped over him. Everything was slipping from his mind. Memories, feelings, he could barely remember where he was, who he was with… Who he was… There was an empty feeling, an echoing sound, like he needed to do something, find someone.. But who? Who was the cause of this sound? A lone tear fell from his eye, passing through the blindfold over his eyes and rolling down his face. Who was it? Who?

Roxas watched Sora, that shining liquid he spotted rolling down Sora's cheek… Was he… Crying? "Sora?" He got up from where he sat and approached Sora, laying a hand upon the brunet's shoulder. "Are you alright?"

"Who was it?" Sora muttered, another tear falling. The blindfold loosened on its own accord, falling down to rest on his nose. His eyes opened. "Who was it?"

Roxas jumped, Sora's eyes were ghostly silver, "Sora?"

"Who Was It!?" Sora screamed, a burst of energy then erupted from him, throwing Roxas back into a bookcase. Sora rose to his feet, stumbling forward, towards Roxas as a grin of malice crossed his face. "Who was it? Who is it?" The cloth of darkness faded as it fell to the floor, Roxas lay face down upon the floor, unanswering to Sora's question. This irritated the brunet slightly. Upon reaching the blond, Sora pulled a foot back before launching it at the other male. He effectively kicked him in the side, knocking him into consciousness. "Who Was It!?"

"S-Sora! I don't know what you're talking about!" Roxas coughed and gasped, pushing himself to his feet quickly. "What's wrong Sora?!"

"WHO IS IT!?" Sora screamed again, swirling darkness lifted from his form, licking the air around him.

Roxas stared in slight horror, those eyes… They gleamed yet, were empty. There was no soul there anymore, no emotion, nothing. "So-"

Sora's face them twisted into a look of broken-ness and sadness. "Who.. Is it? … Why can't I remember!?" Sora began to wail, loudly, the pitch of his voice high enough that the window closest to them shattered. The darkness surrounding Sora began to move over him, covering him in its cruel cold, changing his wailing to screaming.

The doors of the study flew open suddenly. There was a flash of silver hair. Riku moved quickly to Sora, enveloping him in a tight hug. "Calm down!" He shouted at the brunet he held. "Sora! It's me! Calm down!"

"Who was it!?" Sora sobbed, the darkness around him retreating back into him as he fell silent. His body slumped forward, into Riku, his energy, gone. "Who… Was it?" Sora whimpered, falling victim to the cold he felt, once again passing out.

"What happened?" Riku inhaled sharply as he looked back at Roxas. His aqua eyes searching Roxas's for answers.

"Something.. Isn't right with him… I think something happened back at the other Mansion…" Roxas gasped for breath still, who knew Sora could hit so hard? An odd feeling hit Roxas, different emotions began to register in his mind, and the piece of Sora's heart which he held. Sora's memories also began to register in his mind… Sora's heart.. "Riku.. I can feel his heart.. It's fading.. Very slowly… Along with his mind…"

"What!? How do you know!?" Riku's eyes widened then lowered to the brunet he still held.

"I know… Because it's transferring to me.."

"Soon… Our doll will come home. Then, we can finish this." Kaizer grinned, his plan was working out perfectly now. Nothing could stop Sora's deteriorating, not even his heart could stop it now.

"Sora…" Zemmie hung her head. This was her fault, she went along with Kaizer's plan. Though, a very slight chance remained, she knew it was hopeless… Sora would never be himself again…

**********

Riku had taken Sora back to the Gummi ship along with Roxas. Everyone was happy… Except for Riku and Roxas… They didn't know what happened. They didn't see his mindlessness. Sora was still out cold, thankfully. They worried over what would happen were he to awaken. Riku took the brunet to his room, laying him gently upon the bed once there. He ran a gentle hand through the brunet's hair, smiling sadly. "Sora…"

"Ri… ku?" Sora's eyes opened, the shining silver dulling to a gray shade. They locked onto Riku's and a smile crossed Sora's face. "What's wrong with me, Riku?"

"Nothing, you just went a little crazy." Riku pulled on a smile, lying was something he was good at… It was an art to him. But with Sora…

"Don't lie to me." Sora's voice became stern, his face harshening ever-so-slightly. "Where… Is Roxas?"

"He's in his room.. Sora you shou-" Riku was cut off by Sora suddenly sitting up and placing a well aimed kiss to the older's lips. Dizziness followed and Riku fell to the floor.

"I'm sorry…" Sora whispered, getting up and running off to find Roxas. The blond wasn't hard to find since Sora remembered where his room was. He threw open the door, startling the blond Nobody.

"S-Sora!" Roxas got up from where he sat, taking a couple timid steps towards him.

"Roxas… I'm so sorry…" Sora approached his Nobody, quickly placing a hug around him. The sound was back, who was it? No… Who were they? Wait… Now he knew. "Roxas… I want you to live… Please…"

Roxas blinked at Sora's words. What was he saying? He was living.

Sora then stepped back tears streaming down his paled face. "I'm no longer me, Roxas… You have to take care of everyone for me… Okay?"

"What are you talking about!?" Roxas was shocked, what was Sora planning? What was he up to? "Sora…"

"No, Roxas… Hah… They say Nobodies weren't meant to exist, yet… Here you are, again. You're meant to live Roxas, I'm giving you the chance… Take our heart. Our memories… Live." Sora stepped close to his Nobody again, placing a hand to Roxas's chest. "Once I'm done my job, take it all… Watch over those we love."

"Sora…" Roxas began to tear up, Sora… He wasn't going to vanish was he?

"Roxas, I'm sorry again… For hitting you." Sora gave Roxas a faint smile before turning and vanishing through a portal of silvery mist.
