Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts and neither does my aching fingertips.

Author's Note: We are currently getting into the dramatic parts of Kairi's journey. The bloody battles are about to start and the test of whether Kairi has the guts to do whatever she has to, to survive is starting now. That is what I meant about "lost of innocence". The start of Reno and Kairi's growing attraction is deepening very, very slowly as well as the new friendships between Kairi and the others. I want to develope this growing love and friendship at a slow pace as well as develope the plot, so I ask for all of you to help me by suggesting any idea possible. I am sorry for my delay in update. I do apologize, but you're going to have to get used to this. I just started my most important project; my manga in story format on you for your patience! I do appreciate it, even though I do not deserve it.

Summary for Chapter 11:

In an effort to heal from her heartbreak, Kairi is sent on her own quest to the other worlds. There she meets three new faces and two old ones whom go with her on her quest. After meeting two more of the new Order, Kairi is thrown into her memories to find out why she was picked to wield her keyblade. Reno meets another cloaked figure and a fight emerges. Kairi/Reno, Sora/Riku, Namine/Axel, onesided Roxas/Axel. Warnings--language, minor suggestive language, violence, horror, out of character-ness and crack pairings.

What are Nobodies? What are Somebodies? These questions are mine and mine alone now. I must seek out the answers on my own. I must find the Ansem reports that were lost again. I must, I must...

Reno looked over at Kairi whom was standing there, watching as she glared off into the distance after Kalxin and her two Organization XIII-mates disappear. His blue orbs looked over at the auburn haired girl who stood there looking into the sky, wondering what would happen next. It seemed as though she was expecting something else. He just stood there, his arms crossing over his chest as he stared at Kairi, leaning against a tree. Rufus and Rude stood behind him a few feet away.

That was when he noticed it.

Kasei swaying.

His eyes widened to see Kairi trying to stand up tall to reassure her friends she was okay. Mickey stood there with a worry as he watched Kairi swayed. Her hands suddenly went to the temples of her head. She looked to be in pain as Reno was there behind her.

"She's exhausted," Rude said.

"I'm okay!" Kairi countered Reno's concerned tone when he asked her if she was alright.

What are Somebodies?

A "swoosh" sound washed over the atmosphere around the five. Darkness faded as a slender dark cloaked figure stood there.

Reno glared. He sent a lightning spell at the figure who sent the lightning astray into the trees. A branch fell down to the ground in front of the figure as a gloved hand went to her hood. "I thought we were finished with you guys!" he shouted, pointing his EMR at the figure.

"I know it must be tiring to get contacted by us all... but I came here under a new order from my master," a cool, emotionless voice that sounded even more chilling than Kalxin's spoke up. "And that is to test the bodyguards of the Princess of Kingdom Hearts..."

Reno growled as he held Kairi up.

The figure smiled a small smile as two pale purplish-pink colored orbs glowed under the hood of the slender cloaked figure. Kairi had looked into them, to Reno's dreaded conclusion as he saw Kairi go limp in his arms. He looked at the figure who looked at him aloof, suddenly taking a teleportation step in front of Reno.

"The child must be placed away from the field of battle, is that understood?" came the chilling, feminine voice again. It was deeper than Kalxin's. "I will fight you one on one until I defeat all of you... then I will take Kairi back to The World that Never Was..."

Mickey's eyes widened. "I thought that world..." he started.

"Yes, it was destroyed from your victory with my last master... I was only a simple little Dusk back then... getting promoted to Assasin... Ah... good times... that was until that Sora kid slashed at me... and with all of my absent emotions I discovered my human form..." said the woman as a glove pushed away the hood of her cloak. "I think I shall thank the kid, shouldn't I? He was blissfully cute and simple-minded."

"Sora did that to you?" Mickey asked. "Turned you into a--"

"No, the kid simply helped me achieve the status of a real Organization XIII member... making me... move up to Number Six... after Zexion faded away... into nothingness..." said the female said. "My name is Raxeden... and I have taken up the mission of destroying all the earlier Organization XIII's members and their Somebodies..."

Raxeden had spunky styled reddish-violet, short hair and eyes that neither looked blue, nor looked purple nor did it look indigo. Two poles that looked to be spears in the shape of the Nobody symbol appeared in her hand, outlined in purplish-pink. She smirked at Reno's reactions.

"If you can't feel... then why did you say your absent feelings made you what you are!?" Reno called. "I THOUGHT NOBODIES DON'T HAVE FEELINGS!" With that he conjured a lightning spell and sent it at Raxeden who did not defend herself. He watched as Raxeden smiled a soft smile as the lightning was absorbed into her being. Her inhuman coloured eyes opened at Reno's angered, yet surprised face.

"I won't tell you again... the little Princess must be placed off field... I'm not the type that would endanger the innocents around myself... whom cannot fight for themselves... unlike a certain Nobody I know..." Raxeden said as she twirled her spears sending a purplish lightning bolt down in front of Reno, which got him to leap backwards next to Rufus and Rude. His eyes widened as he looked at the electricity that was his turning into Raxeden's magic. She smirked at him.

'This will be tough, indeed,' Reno thought looking at Raxeden. (( Reno is going to hate me now, because I put him against Raxeden... the new Organization XIII's lightning element specialist. 8D; I love you, Reno!

Reno: I hate you!

Me: 8D; ))

"Take her, Rude," Reno muttered at Rude, giving Kairi to Rude. "I want you two to get to a spot where I won't hurt Kairi." With that he looked down at the unconscious auburn haired girl. 'Hang in there, Kairi.' He grabbed a few locks of long auburn hair and watched as the wind took off with them. He watched as if it was a premonition for the future as he turned from her to go back to his first spot across from Raxeden.

I dreamed I was down in darkness, laying on top of a painted pillar with a princess on top. I looked down to see what looked to be Snow white. I walked around as to see if Sora or Riku were there, but I did not feel any of them with me here. I wondered if maybe they landed somewhere else, and the worst probably hung in the back of my mind.

Maybe they have not come here?

I walked around until I saw a door appeared behind me.

"This is the door to the beginning, your prelude," said a voice. I looked around to see whom was saying this.

Nothing.

I fell to my knees, tears welling up inside of me. Why do bad things happen to me now?! First my friends disappear on me, and then when I saw Sora, I was in some trance that made me disappear in front of him! Then I find myself still stuck on Destiny Islands with no way of going after Sora or Riku and then, when I finally am able to see them, they disappear on me again. Xemnas was not finished with them, that was for sure, but I wanted to fight with them.

I looked around. "The person whom is inside of me... as another me, please tell me these answers," I spoke up. An image of a blonde girl appeared in my head as I finally remembered her. "Namine..." I spoke up.

"You will forget me soon," was all she said when she left my body to walk towards the door. She put her hand to it. "Embrace the darkness, embrace the light, brace yourself for the fight, and you will find your key..."

I opened the door.

And immediately... I ran from the Heartless that were getting after me.

"SORA!"

"What did you do to Kairi?!" Reno demanded looking over at Raxeden.

"I made her remember..." was all the woman said before she attacked, Reno blocked her with his EMR as she brought her other spear-like weapon at him. His eyes widened as he flipped in the air and away from the woman. His eyes widened as Raxeden appear in back of him. "Her little useless situation in the Station of Serenity..." He heard her continue as she dropped kicked him into the ground. A rather large crater formed as Raxeden landed a little ways from the crater walking up to it. She smirked at him.

"You shouldn't make people remember memories they rather forget!" Reno shouted as he surprised Raxeden by kicking her backwards.

Her eyes widened as she was sent backwards into a tree.

She coughed up red blood that was a shade from black in shades of red.

Reno tossed a small orb into his EMR as he looked at Raxeden. "And, what is your mission? Tell me or I will beat it out of you, zo-to..." he said.

"I thought you wouldn't hit a girl, Reno..." said the woman as she looked at him, her weapons re-materializing in her hands.

Reno twirled his EMR around his wrist before catching it and pointed it at Raxeden. "Do I recall you being a girl? You're a Nobody, are you not? And since you are a Nobody, and Nobody do not exist... then... WHY SHOULD I EVEN BOTHER THINKING OF NOT HITTING YOU?!" he shouted, using a water materia orb on her. "NOW TELL ME! Why are you here after all what your little friends went through, zo to?" He watched as Raxeden screamed in pain, and smirked. "That screaming sounds fake, Nobody... zo-to..."

His eyes widened as he saw an explosion. His head turned in all directions; left, right, up and down. And then he saw a spear coming near his face, and moved way only to have a scratch form on his cheek. He jumped away as he grinned at Raxeden, wiping the blood trickling down his cheek. "I knew your scream was fake, now answer the bloody question, Number Six..." he called as he leapt after Raxeden.

"That water materia took alot out of you, Axel," Raxeden said.

"I have a name as Axel's Somebody, it's Reno, now stop dodging the question!" Reno shouted as he blocked another round of attacks on Raxeden, receiving more scrapes and cuts from her spear-like rods.

"I came here for a mission... and that is to kill every Somebody of the first Organization XIII, because they might team up with the likes of you!" Raxeden shouted as she sent an electric wave at Reno whom quickly put in an empty lightning materia and absorbed the attack. He grinned.

"You're stupid, hun. I am another lightning specialist," he said as he flipped down smirking at something above him. "As well as an explosionist!"

Raxeden looked in back him, her eyes widened. "WHAT?!"

Reno leapt back from the area as he grinned at the explosion. "BAN!" he called, excitedly. "Though, I doubt that would finish you off!"

"It didn't..." said a voice.

There was Raxeden, without any scratch on her except for some dried blood from the corner of her mouth. She smiled as she leapt down at top speed at him, her short, purplish hair flying in the wind as she attacked him.

"Shit!" Reno cursed as he blocked Raxeden with his EMR, before hitting the ground in another crater.

Reno cast an attack as he spotted Raxeden again, going at him again. He was lying on the ground as he watched his spell taking effect. A wall of aura came around Raxeden as a shock wave traveld into another pannel of a pyramid-like, aura case about the Nobody.

"Caught ya..." Reno said, winking.
