Author`s Note: Sorry for the long wait I caught something and have been ill for the past week but I`m over that now and am ready to post this next chapter. Enjoy \(^-^)/

"What about school?" Nam asked.

"Screw school!" Axel exclaimed.

"Hehe. Alright then let the festivities begin!" I shouted out throwing my fist in the air.

Chapter 12: It started out so well...

Kairi`s POV

"Hehe. Alright then, let the festivities begin!" I shouted out throwing my fist in the air.

"That`s more like it!" Axel threw an arm over me.

"E-hmm" Sora glared at Axel.

"Whoops how`d that get here... heh" Axel pulled back his arm and rubbed the back of his head.

"So are you two... together now..?" Nam asked with pleading eyes, I turned to Sora and watched a smile consume his face. I shot back to Nam.

"What do you think?" I grinned as Sora pulled me closer to him.

"What do you think? OF COURSE THEY ARE NAMINE!"Selphie yelled as Nam backed away slowly. Selphie slowly calmed down and spoke again.

"Sorry... It`s just sooo obvious and Nam is the smartest one here"

"Hey!" Riku glared at her.

"Don`t deny it Riku..."

"Shut up..."

"Come on guys you`re bumming me out" Axel whined while Xion chuckled in the corner.

"Who says that anymore?" Xion asked through a smug smile.

"I do" Axel pointed to his chest proudly.

"Axel you shouldn`t be proud of that..." Roxas grinned.

"That`s probably the reason he doesn`t have a girlfriend" Riku added.

"Well neither do you!"

"Bitch please... I could get one anytime you want"

"Fine but man it`s like couples night here" Axel whined.

"You jelly?" Roxas smirked.

"Who says that?" Axel snapped back.

"Hey I already have a girlfriend" Roxas defended.

"Calm your balls down Axel and go get us some wood" Riku jumped in.

"Why?"

"For fire you dipshit" Riku chuckled. Before anything else was said Axel stood up and shouted out FIRE before dashing into the jungle to get some wood leaving the rest of us the bask in each other`s company. I took this opportunity to rest my head on Sora`s shoulder and look up at the stars.

"Hey! I just got an idea" Naminé suddenly perked up.

"What is it babe?" Roxas asked.

"Let`s tell STORIES!" Nam stood up clapping her hands like a 5 year old.

"Aren't we a little old for that?" Sora questioned.

"Nope and for two reasons. One. We should tell some stories so we can find the right memory to jump start all of Sora`s memorises and two. Nobody is too old for a good story" Nam sat down again.

"Like a boss" Roxas smiled and snuggled next to her.

"So we just keep telling stories until we set off a reaction?" I asked.

"Yep"

"Ok I`ll text Aqua to bring Ven and Terra" Selphie said before setting off on her phone.

"Why?" Sora raised a brow.

"Cause they know some crazy shiz" Selphie didn`t even bother to look up.

"Alright let`s get to it!" I shouted before I began twirling my hair thinking of a story. "Hey guys. Do you hear... screaming?" Just then Axel came into view screaming with a pile of logs in his arms.

"I SHALL MAKE... FIRE!" He cried out before throwing the logs down, gathering them in a pile and pouring a mysterious liquid on them.

"Wait... I know that smell... Axel is that..?" Roxas asked his voice becoming uneasy.

"Yep" Axel replied with his eyes wide open and an evil smile plastered on his face as wide as his face.

"HIT THE DECK!" Roxas called out before diving backwards and coving his head air raid style.

"Why would..?"

"FIRE!" Axel threw down a lit match and a volcano of a fire erupted from the logs.

"THE HELL IS THAT?!" Riku yelled.

"HOLY SHIZ!" Selphie added.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed before diving behind Sora. After the volcano died down and the smoke cleared we all slowly crept towards the small campfire and recomposed ourselves. Before we make any other moves we all turned our attention to the soot covered Axel before we all let lose our anger at him.

"You almost got us killed!"

"What in the hell was that?"

"Who brings gasoline to a camp-out?" Roxas glared at Axel before he could reply.

"I do. It`s my emergency supply" Axel smirked. "It worked didn`t it?"

"*Sigh* I can`t believe I`m saying this but... He`s right I`m all toasty now" I giggled.

"I gotta agree with Kai but Axel... it`s taking the term Hothead to an extreme don`t cha think?" Sora asked lying back nonchalantly.

"Hey! This reminds me of a story" I interrupted.

"Oh so we`re kicking this up old-school style? I`m down with that" Axel grinned dusting off the soot from his face.

"Alright Kai. Lay it on me" Sora said sitting up.

"It reminds me of the time Roxas and Nam became whole again" I pointed to the two blondes staring at each other.

"Oh yeah" Nam smiled softly.

"The day I could be my own person" Roxas grabbed his chain.

"This sounds promising. Tell me the tale!" Sora bounced happily like a puppy on steroids.

"Alright, alright. It all started about 1 year ago..."

Time Leap Backwards 1 year...

(Hey guys, I had this idea of a one shot on how Roxas and Naminé became whole again but I thought I would put it in my story instead I think I might just put it in a separate story just in case :)

Kairi`s POV

As my alarm went off I could tell it was gonna be one great day. I slowly got up and turned off and walked to my window. The view of my island never failed to amaze me. From the soft sand beaches, to the paopu trees, my island was paradise. But all paradises had their time and besides I had school today. Nothing special about it, an average Wednesday plus I had some exams coming up so I needed to be ready. I dragged myself out of bed and began my daily routine (I have no idea what girls do in the bathroom since you know... I`m a guy. So here`s my best guess) I turned on the shower and jumped in and the cold water hit me like a ton of bricks. Jolting me awake I quickly turned on the hot water and enjoyed a relaxing shower. Next I wrapped up my hair and began to change afterwards I unwrapped my hair and checked it out in my mirror. As I began to blow dry my hair I could sworn I saw a blonde streak in my hair but I ignored it. I ran downstairs and grabbed some money.

"Sorry mum, already late I`ll eat at school! Bye" I said that so quickly I sounded like Selphie. Speaking of which I`m late to pick her up.

"KAI! Where have you been? Huh? I`ve been waiting here for a whole 10 minutes!" As she continued to ramble on I just pushed an extra large espresso in her face. She glared at me before taking a sip.

"I forgive you" I laughed at her but it soon died down when Selphie asked.

"Hey Kairi... are you going blonde?"

"Wha? Why would say that?" I raised a brow.

"This" She unclipped my hair and the blonde streak fall down straight into view.

"I know it`s weird huh?"

"Well if it`s that weird you should talk to Sora about he`s like... the King of this shiz"

"What are you trying say?"

"Nothing" She said hiding her face in the espresso before starting to walk away from me.

"Hey! Get back here!" I spent a good 10 minutes chasing Selphie until I finally reached school and collapsed in our common room.

"C`mon Riku! Give it back!"

"No way blondie!"

"Oh hell no! C`mon I`m hungry!"

"Too late" From the corner of my apple I saw Sora and Riku fighting over from what it looked like was a... mars bar?

"All most got it" I could see Sora stretching over Riku, just to get one finger on it before Riku would jerk it away teasing him to try again. I laughed to myself as I watched my two childhood friends fight over their childish antics. Just as Sora got hold of it Riku pushed him away with his left hand and shoved half of the thing in his mouth. Sora gasped and pouted while folding his arms and turning away from Riku. I giggled to myself and skipped merrily over to the guys.

"Hey guys" I smiled at both of them.

"Hey Kair- HAHAHAHAHA" As soon as Riku started to laugh my blonde hair fell and swung to and fro right in front of me. Sora slowly swung his head around and let his arms drop to his sides with his mouth agape.

"YOU TOO?" He stood up and grabbed my chin checking every inch of my face before grabbing the blonde hair.

"Riku do you see this?" Sora punched Riku before asking.

"Yeah what is up with you two today?" Riku replied trying to stiff his laughter.

"Sora... My hair..."

"Sssshhhhh"

"Sora!"

"Ssssshhhhhh and look" Sora placed a finger on my lips I hoped he didn`t catch my blush but it soon faded after pulled down one of his spikes down to meet my face. He removed his finger to allow me to gasp.

"No... Way!" I yanked down on Sora`s hair causing him to wince in pain before dragging his to see Selphie.

"What`s up Kairi... Whoa..." Selphie`s smile soon faded as I showed her both our blonde streaks.

"Exactly the reaction I had" I told her before releasing Sora from my grip.

"Ow" He glared at me before rubbing his head.

"Not so good when the shoe is on the other foot huh?" I replied back watching ease back to his relaxed posture.

"So are you two doing a thing with your hair, you know... together?" Riku walked over to us before holding both our streaks up.

"NO!" We both said in union before turning to each other.

"How did this happen?" I asked Sora.

"I dunno but it`s gotta have something to do with our adventures... right Riku?" Sora turned to Riku.

"Probably... but I don`t think we know anyone with blond hair... maybe an enemy?"

"I suppose"

"Kai don`t lie we both know people with blond hair" Sora perked up and grabbed both my arms.

"We do?"

"Yep. Starts with a N..."

"Oh my gosh NAMINE" With her name said we began our quest to contact our long lost nobodies. But as the days went by we noticed more and more that Sora and I were changing, small things at first but as the week went on we found out we were dead wrong. By the end of the month all was completely blonde and so was Sora. He decided to style it differently since he couldn`t shake the feeling he was becoming a different person. But one day enough was enough.

I woke up on a sunny Thursday morning the sun was shining and the birds were twitting softly as I woke up and dragged myself to the bathroom to my daily routine. As I got out of the shower I looked at my hair. Still as blonde as ever but something felt different. I walked up to my mirror and the difference hit me in the face like puberty. I tried my hardest to stop myself from screaming to the heavens. I slowly touched my face all my feature had just changed in the slightest making all the difference. All my features had gone softer and my face had become fuller. I defiantly wasn`t Kairi anymore.

"At least my voice sounds the same" I said to myself before getting dressed and throwing on a hoodie to disguise my new look. I had gotten half way to school before I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Kairi. Finally where were you" I heard Selphie's bouncy voice say and she spun me around before I looked her straight in the eye.

"Oh sorry I thought you were someone else"

"No, no, no, no wait Selphie it`s me... Kairi"

"Whoa... you didn`t tell me you had plastic surgery" She hugged me tightly.

"No that`s not it. I don`t know what`s happening I need to talk Sora. Have you seen him?"

"Actually... yeah. He passed by my house a few minutes ago"

"Great we can still catch him" We sprinted to school with Selphie asking question every 5 minutes. We finally made it to school and we spotted a blond haired boy heading to the second floor. We followed him until he stopped at his locker.

"Sora!" I called out to him.

"Why does everyone call me that? Uh... Naminé..?"

"Naminé?"

"Yes it is you!" Sora grabbed me and spun me around all movie like leaving me all dizzy.

"Sora stop acting crazy" Selphie flicked his ear.

"Ow and who are you suppose to be?" Sora glared at her.

"Sora!" She yelled and glared straight back.

"The name`s ROXAS!"

"Roxas?"

"Yeah Nam tell her"

"I`m Kairi..."

"Really... I guess you do sound different..."

"No shiz"

"Selphie calm down! And yeah I`m not Naminé... at least not yet... like in your case"

"Oh so you`re Kairi. At least I know someone here and just between you and me... you have no idea how cramped Sora`s physic is" Roxas chuckled.

"Hey! I heard that" Roxas snapped back.

"Roxas why are you arguing with yourself?" I asked.

"I`m not!" Roxas insisted.

"Kairi! Help me!" He spoke again.

"Hey I should be the only one talking here!" Roxas said starring at his hands.

"Shut up and get me out of here!" He yelled again.

"I think I`ll go..." Selphie said before running away.

"Ok Kai I think we better talk to Riku..."

"Riku... I defeated a Riku once..."

"You what?!"

"Stop it! Both of you! You two better get a grip or so help me I will drive your conjoined skull into the concrete UNDERSTAND!"

"Yes mam"

"Let`s go!" We left for the common room luckily he was there.

"Yup looks like Sora`s still there..." Riku tapped his chin.

"Oh really... cause I didn`t notice" Roxas` sarcasm could be hear miles away.

"We know that the question is what do we do about it..?" I asked.

"Simple... we cut them in half" He grinned.

"Are you crazy?!" Roxas said wide eyed.

"Riku this is no time to be a psycho!" I snapped back at him.

"No, not like that. We should separate their hearts. They`re obviously still connected which explains why Sora can still talk" Riku replied.

"But if I remember correctly I`m Sora`s nobody so... I`ve already claimed his body so his hearts should be lost" Roxas said back.

"Hmmm maybe not. Kairi. You`re a princess of heart, maybe you can use my keyblade to give Sora back his body and give Roxas his own"

"I can try" I said back unsure of myself.

"Great. Here take this" Riku closed his eyes and a dark cloud appeared in his hand. As soon as it cleared away his Keyblade made its self clear. It`s blade was blood red and sharp with a angle`s wing at the tip while the handle was the combination of good and evil. "It`ll help" As I took a grip the Keyblade changed. A golden flower incrusted Keyblade replaced it.

"Thanks. C`mon Roxas let`s get to it" I smiled at him as I lead him through the crowded walls and behind the school walls. I re -summoned the Keyblade.

"You ready?"

"As ready as I`ll ever be..." Roxas shut his eyes tight.

"Here goes..." With that I lunged forward and pieced Roxas` heart and watched it flow out of him. I took a firm grip on my blade and sliced the hearts in two gently placing one of them back into Roxas and cradling the other in my hand. Roxas` eyes shot open and began breathing deeply.

"Never... Do that... To me... Again" Roxas managed to say in between breathes.

"You have my word" I grinned. I looked down at the red orb in my hand and slowly placed it on the floor. I took a step back and pointed my Keyblade straight at it. A beam of pure light shot from it and hit the orb with a strong force slowly creating an outline of a person. I smiled happily and pressed on. I watched in amazement as the orb slowly grew and filled the shape with life and colour. Soon the transformation was complete and there stood Sora. His eyes closed and his skin pale with his spike slightly drooping.

"Whoa I didn`t know you could do that..." Roxas said before stepping closer to Sora and placing a hand where his heart was. "At least he`s alive" Roxas grinned before Sora`s eyes shot open and scared the living daylights out of Roxas. Soon he began frantically searching himself while the all colour returned to his face.

"Hehe, Sora. Calm down, you`re all still you..." I smiled softly at him

"Not to be rude but who are you?"

"Sora it`s me Kair... Naminé" I stuck out my hand.

"Well please to meet you and you must be... ROXAS!" Sora exclaimed grabbing the boy and pulling him into a bone crushing hug.

"Welcome back buddy..."

"Ok so where`s Kairi?"

"Actually you`re about to see her now..." I said flipping the Keyblade round and facing it towards me.

"Wait Naminé don`t you know..." I didn`t give Sora time to finfish his sentence I could already feel my heart being engulfed by Naminé's. As soon as I felt my heart leave I tossed Roxas my Keyblade which once again changed into a white blade. I recognised this one, it was the Oathkeeper. I smiled at him and said "Just do what I did"

"Will do" With that said I closed my eyes and let myself fall into darkness. This feeling was overwhelming, I felt I was losing who I was. All my memories, feelings, experiences... gone. But just as I was about to be consumed, a light cut through the darkness. It felt so warm and it lifted me up. Higher and higher, until my eyes shot open and my vision adjusted. Three figures stood there watching me two I easily recognised but the third was harder.

"Hey Kairi" Roxas patted my back.

"I`m glad you`re back" Sora stepped forward and hugged me. All the while I stood and stared back at the mysterious girl. She looked just like I did this morning, her features were much softer than mine and her face had was fuller, her hair came just passed her shoulders in golden curls and she was wearing a white dress. Her eyes stood out from the rest of her body, the same blue eyes as Roxas they seemed like a perfect match. I stepped forward and stuck out my hand.

"You must be Naminé..." I stuck out my hand with a warm smile.

"Y-yeah..." She took my hand.

"Heh, I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship... sister"

Back To the Future... LOL

Sora`s POV

"Wow that was one long flashback..." I teased.

"Hey, at least I came up with something" Kairi pouted.

"Yeah Kairi, you`re a genius..." Selphie rolled her eyes.

"Thanks Selphie" Kairi smiled back to her.

"Hey guys look at that" Nam pointed to a sleeping Riku and Xion leaning against each other. "I`m gonna sketch it"

"For framing?" Roxas asked sheepishly.

"No blackmail"

"That`s my girl" Roxas said laying down next to her.

"Guys do you realise it`s like... 1 in the morning" Selphie said putting her phone away.

"Wow that was a long flashback..." I chuckled before lying down. Kairi joined shortly.

"I guess it`s goodnight you guys" Kairi said closing her eyes.

"Night" Roxas.

"Awww already?" Heh Selphie.

"Sweet dreams" Nam.

"See ya" Axel.

"Good night Kairi" I whispered before kissing her. As I closed my eyes I let myself slowly drift away but I couldn`t shake this feeling that today was my last haven before everything would go bad.

Kairi`s POV

The next day I woke up to the seagulls squawking away and the sea slowly lapping the beach. I smiled to myself once I saw the sleeping boy in front of me, I had no idea how his arm managed to sneak across my waist but I was glad he did it. He made me feel safe. I gentle placed it back at his side and stood up stretching and dusting myself on sand and it was everywhere. Even in some places I thought sand couldn`t reach. As I walked down to the water I noticed that I couldn`t smell the sea, but I shrugged it off before continuing. I cupped the water and splashed myself awake. That`s when I noticed it. The water. It was... purple?

I stood up and ran back to Sora and the other. I shook each one until they told me to stop.

"Kairiiiiii! No school today, remember?" Selphie drifted to sleep again.

"Kairi what`s going on?" Sora asked me, concern was filling his voice.

"This" I took off my hoodie and scooped up the water quickly rushing back. "Look" Sora took a handful and let it fall through his hand before turning to Riku.

"Riku?"

"Okay let me see... oh no..."

"What is it?" Nam asked.

"It`s not good"

"C`mon tell us" Roxas said.

"You really don`t want to know"

"Riku!" Xion pouted.

"You can tell us" Sora placed a hand on his shoulder.

"It`s... Darkness" And with that the only sound that could be heard was the drop of my hoodie and the darkness infected water hitting our island, our home. Axel finally came out of his sleep coma and found us in shock.

"Well this can`t be good"

There you go. Sorry it took way longer than I thought. I am sad to say that we are approaching the end of Got It Memorized. Don`t worry the next chapter is already in progress.
