Sorry it's been so long (almost a year) but this is just one of those thing that wouldn't leave me alone until I had gotten on paper

"Tell me a secret?" Terra said half asleep. He was perched on the arm of chair she was sat in reading. It was something they had taken to doing after Ven had finally tried out enough to go to bed. Not that they didn't enjoy having Ven around because they did he was like their little brother. But after he had gone to sleep the two older keyblade wielders would just sit on the same chair in the library, Aqua in the chair reading whatever she had taken to that week and Terra on the arm or the floor just enjoying each other company.

"What?" Aqua asked looking up at him.

"Tell me a secret, something you never told anyone before" He said looking at her with mischief in his eye. Aqua went back to looking at her book.

" I don't have any secrets Terra I tell you everything"

"Oh come on" He said giving her a knock with is arm. "There has to be something that you never told me before" Aqua went back to reading her book hoping that he would just drop the subject or drop off to sleep either way she wouldn't mind. But as with most things once the though was in her head she couldn't let it go. She wondered if that was they way Terra had planned it; she wouldn't put it passed him.

"I hate living here" she said after a couple to minuets of conferrable silence.

"What?" Terra asked with a hit of concern in his voice.

"I hate living here, not living you or Ven or the Master I love that and I love what we do, but" She took a pause and closed the book she was holding and put in her lap. " I miss the sea."

"The sea?" He said watching her closely

"Yeah. I don't have a lot of memorisers of where I was from, but I remember the sound it use to make, the way it glittered in the sunset or how angry it was in a storm." she closed her eyes. "and whenever I looked at it even though it was so big I felt home. sometimes I catch myself thinking about and I feel lonely" the last part was almost a whisper

"Hey" Terra said pulling her face to look at him she gave him smile trying hind that she was sad. He learned in a kissed her. It was slow and full of all the things that Terra had alway found hard to say. He pulled away from her. Aqua opened her eyes.

"What was that for?" she asked watching him closely

"For when you are lonely" he learnt for another kiss and she let him. Aqua smiled at him because she knew thats what he wanted from her.

"Now you tell me a secret" she said and he laughed.

Aqua stood on black sand of what she guess is a beach. The sea shone in the faded light of the moon or maybe it was the sun, it had always puzzled her how it even shone down here. Or how the light could hit the sea and look the way she remembered it from when she was a child. Sometimes Aqua would close her eyes and try to remember more about being a child and her home but they were old and fraying at the edges. Like her she mused watching the sea move alone the shore even though here was no wind. The odd stillness of the world that she had found herself was disturbed by a portal of darkness opening up behind her. The tinniest bit of hope she had that Roxas had come back was shattered by the nobody that was now walking towards her. Aqua didn't need to look to see that it was him she could tell by the way the world almost wrapped around him as if it was connoted to his life force

"Mater Aqua" came the monotone voice from behind her.

"Lord Xemnas" She address the man without turning to face him. Lord Xemnas came to stand parallel with the blue hired master.

It was always silence in this world, even the monsters that she had come to find out were called 'heartless' didn't make a sound when they attacked her; just appear out of the darkness and then despair again when they were done or she came close to them. But the silence she was in now with the leader of what Roxas had called Organization 13 was deferring. It was the kind of silence that was crushing and made so much noise that all you wanted was to brake it.

"You always did want to live by the sea" Aqua closed her eyes and was taken back to when she had told Terra that secret.

"A prison is not what I had in mind" was her replay

"There are far worse prisons my friend"

"I am not your friend" Aqua cutting him off suddenly becoming very angry with the self appointed lord. He was not Terra and they were not friends didn't matter how many times he came down her to ask her questions about what was left of her home word or about where Ven was (not that she would tell him) they would not be friends and she would not believe he was or used to be Terra.

"You never did ware anger well" Lord Xemnas stated. He was right of cause anger wasn't something that she was good at it never had been she seen fist hand what anger dose to people and she couldn't bear the thought of it happening again.

"The boy" harsh monotone counted "he is much stronger then I had thought he could be"

"Yes" Aqua said happy to change the subject "he's picking it up quickly than I have ever seen anyone before"

Roxas and found her down here a while ago now, she had of corse mistook for Ven the first time she had seen him. It had taken her a long time to come to terms with just how much he no only looked like Ven but moved and talked like him too.

"A question if you permit me Master Aqua?" Lord Xemnas asked watching the sea move slowly along the shore

"Alright" Aqua took a deep breath.

"The boy. Why are you Training him?" his question didn't get her by surprise not really if she was honest with herself she had been waiting for him to ask her. He had acted her with his keyblade which had taken her by surprise, Aqua had not seen another person with a keyblade for such along time that she had almost forgotten that there were others. But his technique was sloppy and slow. Aqua had easily over powered the boy. Once he had stopped trying to attack her Roxas had stared to tell her all about heartless, nobodies, Organization 13 and whole worlds being taken by the darkness that Aqua wondered if was anything left to go back to, it wasn't long after that she had taken Roxas as her apprentice.

"It's a Maters job to train those who need it" Aqua told the nobody sanding very still next to her. "But you should know" She continued "He's asking questions. Things that I don't know how to answer" She paused and watched the nobody with the corner of her eye "He will start to look in other places and I'm not sure you will like what he finds" Lord Xemnas slowly nodded his head and trued to make his way back to the portal that had brought him here.

Even thought she was happy to see him go, there was something that she needed to know. Something that Roxas had told her about last time she seen him and it had been on mind.

"A question for you Lord Xemnas if you will permit me?" Aqua asked moving to look at the man for the first time sinned he entered the world. The hooded man nodded. Aqua took a deep breath.

"What is Kingdom Hearts?" Aqua studied the man carefully and if she hand been abled to see his face, Aqua would swear that the question had court him off grad. However he recovered before you would be able to tell.

"It is what we both need" He paused "My friend" and with that Lord Xemnas was swilled by the portal and once again Aqua was alone on the dark stand with only his paring words left of float around her mind.
