I'm gonna be doing more time skips but it'll come together.
The Mission of a Keyblade Master
Chapter 11: Xion
5 months later:
Hana:
5 months passed by really quickly, Riku was becoming just as powerful as I was with the Keyblade but was resorting to using the darkness more. Thankfully it was under control. Things between us improved, our relationship was running smoothly and we now share a room together; which meant yes, we made love. Fortunately, my grandfather didn't know about our relationship and was completely oblivious from it.
I remember the night of my birthday when we got back, Riku fell asleep quickly. I stayed up to open the present Grandpa got me.
In the box was a beautiful diamond ring which belonged to my mother, it was her wedding ring and there was a simple diamond bracelet with my name and a message engraved underneath it. It read; Hana, Daddy will always love you and you will always be my little Princess. As soon as I read it I felt a tear fall down my cheek and a sad smile graced my lips.
Inside the envelope was a picture which made me feel so heartache and I cried myself to sleep. It was a picture of my family. There was also a piece of paper with the picture in my grandfather's writing; the day you were born.
Starting from the left was Grandpa Eraqus who looked younger and he was crying so much; oh Grandpa! Then there was my Grandmother (who was named Aviana) next to him, she was so beautiful with light brown hair, fair skin and freckles. My brother and I both got our green eyes from her and my mother. My mother and father held me in their arms. She was such a beautiful woman, with dark hair from Grandpa Eraqus and green eyes from Grandma. My father was a very handsome man too, he had blonde hair and dark brown eyes. Grandpa Ansem held my brother up in his arms and Alex kept staring at me. That was all I ever wanted; a family…
Riku:
I sat across Namine in the White Room of Organisation, I was a bit worried about Hana; hopefully she was okay.
"So we meet again." Namine smiled and my eyebrows furrowed together.
"You made me a promise." I stated.
"I remember; it was to look after Sora." She looked down with a frown and was so worried. "I'm sorry, I'm not sure I've kept that promise very well." I felt sorry for her; she had so much pressure on her.
"Can you tell me what's happening?" I asked curiously.
"Some of Sora's memories are missing." What?
"How can that be?" What was going on.
"Sora's memories are escaping through Sora's Nobody into a third person, and now they're starting to become a part of her." Was she talking about that girl with the black hair?
"Isn't there a way to bring back just Sora's memories?" I was determined to wake him up; I would do anything.
"If they're still separate, then I think I can take out the fragments of it." That was good news. Namine then picked up her sketchbook and stared at it. "But if her memories and Sora's memory fragments are completely weaved together, I would need to untangle them from each other and that would take more time. Which means it would take even longer for Sora to wake up and Diz wouldn't tolerate that."
"So what can you do?" I asked.
"If I just jump in and rearrange her memory then Sora might wake up only to find out that nobody remembers him anymore." No way, this can't happen! "That's a risk I just can't. It's too late either way. Sora's awakening has already been delayed. Sora's Nobody and the one that's absorbing his memory. None of us imagined that they would fight so hard to become their own people. Unfortunately, the only real solution…is for both of them to go away. Did you know, her face was blank at first? But now there is a face that is clearly visible. I think that's proof that she's entered Sora's memories."
"Kairi…" I whispered. She looked so much like Kairi except from the colour of her hair and eyes.
"Sora's memories, Sora's Nobody's memories, and her memories…They're all a jumbled mess now. And to put them back into one…I'm afraid there's no other way." She said.
"All right, leave it to me." I said.
Hana:
Destiny Islands:
I held Riku's hand and it was my first time at the beach on Destiny Islands. We both were walking along the seashore of the Play Islands. Unfortunately, Today I decided to wear my black coat. I looked around with my eyes sparkling; such a beautiful and peaceful world. Why would he want to leave here?
"You like it?" Riku asked and I nodded as I looked at him.
"I love it here." I stated and he smiled.
"That's good." He mumbled.
Suddenly we heard a scream, a girl's scream; the girl with the fake Keyblade! Riku then began to run to the shack and climbed onto it. I followed him and just as I was getting to the miniature island, I stopped across the bridge and watched from there with wide eyes.
I watched Riku hold that girl in her hands and pull her hair behind her ear. I felt a pang of jealousy from within my heart and gulped as I placed my hand on my heart. I didn't know why I was jealous; it was the first time I saw my man with another girl. Did he…did he only take me here so that he could talk to that girl?
"Are you?" The girl asked.
"Riku, Sora's friend." Riku said.
"Sora?" She asked and sat up. "You know Sora?"
"Yeah." Riku said sadly and I felt my heart squeeze. He still felt the guilt from what he did to his friends. He stood up and helped her up.
"Thank you. You saved me but I don't know why…you did." She stated and he looked at her.
"I guess, I just felt like it." He said.
"Riku please, tell me more about Sora and that girl he's always with." She said.
"You mean Kairi." Kairi, who's that? He never mentioned her.
"Kairi…That's right. She's the one who looks so much like me." The dark haired Nobody said.
"To Sora, she's someone very special." I couldn't help but smile; I knew he had romantic feelings for this girl called Kairi.
"It's just…I remember things about the two of them." She replied. "But I'm nothing more than a puppet something that somebody created. So why would I have their memories?" No one deserved to be a puppet; this girl had emotions and she deserved a life of her own and an identity of her own. "Do you know where Sora is now?"
"That secret stays with me." That tone made me shiver. Riku was extremely defensive for his friends.
"Why's that?" The girl asked.
"Xion…" So that was her name… "Your memories, they belong to Sora." My eyes widened and I gasped, so she was the one…
"So you mean…I'm like a part of him?" Xion asked.
"When his memories were scattered, some of them…made inside you. Now, Sora has been put to sleep so that we can piece together his memory. Except…" Riku trailed off.
"You can't because part is inside me." The dark haired Nobody sighed. "That means, he can't wake up."
"Yeah, you go it." He said. "But, if you go with me to Sora right now, we could give the memories inside you back to him." I didn't think she'd want that.
"So, do you hate me for taking your friend away from you?" Oh god Xion, wrong button, WRONG BUTTON!
"Nah…" My eyes widened. "I guess…I'm just sad." When Riku said that I felt a tear fall down my cheek
"I'm sorry but…I can't go with you; it's my friends, they need me and I need them too." I knew she wouldn't go so easily.
"Maybe…" Riku placed his hand on her shoulder. "…you should take some time to think about it. Figure out who really needs you more and where you belong."
"How will I know where I belong, truly?" Xion asked. "I'm not sure I can promise you I'll come up with the right answer." I felt so sorry for her.
"Well the answer you come up with can't just be right for you. It has to be one that works best for everybody. You and your friends, and everyone else." Riku stated.
"I'll try, thank you Riku." Xion smiled and Riku smiled at her.
I placed my hand on my chest and felt my heart squeeze painfully out of sympathy. This girl, she was living life normally with the love from her friends and now she knew the truth, she didn't know what to do. Her mind tells her she's a puppet but her heart told her she was someone who deserved their own identity.
