The ship docked at Halloween Town, and the two ventured out into the foggy night. They both were staring hard at a gate with sharp spikes and twisted metal entwined, making the barrier look quite fearsome. They saw no one around, so they sat on the outside of the town near the gate, and began their conversation.
"You know a lot about me it seems," Riku said, "What can you tell me about yourself?"
"Well, I grew up…My parents were…"
She furrowed her brow, trying to recall the name of her world and things about her parents. Nothing came. This sudden amnesia shocked Akemi, how could she not remember what she had lost, what she had dreamed of getting back someday? She tried to unlock the files in her mind, tried to recall anything she could, but all she could remember was her age. She knew her age was not going to explain much to her companion, but it was all she could bring up.
"I'm fifteen," she finally finished.
Riku laughed. Akemi could feel her cheeks flush a bright red. She looked at him with her blue eyes, searching for something to help her remember anything, anything at all. Still nothing came.
"Well, who gave you your necklace?" He finally asked, out of breath from his laughter.
"My father, it was when I was young. My world blinked out years ago, but I can't remember it's name."
Riku looked concerned. "How can you have forgotten? Is there something wrong?"
"I…don't know. One minute I had them all in detail, I swore never to forget. Now, I can't even remember any birthday parties I've had, or whether I had any brothers or sisters. It's crazy, I know, but there's something wrong. Ever since we were in Monstro…"
Akemi stopped. Could Ansem have taken away my memories?
Riku looked at her thoughtfully. She seemed that she was hiding something, and he wanted to know what.
"What happened in Monstro?" he asked.
"Someone visited me, in my mind. He was talking to me, telling me to give in to the darkness. He called me, 'sister of the keyblade wielder.'"
"What's a keyblade?"
"It's a weapon that seals the hearts of worlds, and destroys heartless. Sora has it."
"So you're Sora's sister? How can that be? You never lived on Destiny Islands."
"I don't know, but it would explain the resemblance, wouldn't it?"
"And your similar necklaces."
"Muahahahahahahaha!"
Riku and Akemi turned to the evil laughter they heard coming from inside the town. Akemi gasped at the sight of a tall skeleton with an evil smile on his face. She felt the urge to scream, but Riku put his hand on her arm. Riku was smiling at the bony character, and he said:
"Hey Jack."
I have to stop, I've written two chapters today, and I wrote like the yesterday. Maybe I'll put some more on tomorrow. I don't know, but my throat still hurts. I need medication.
