Hey there . . . heh, been a long time, eh? Yep, two months . . . uh huh . . . well then – oh, don't glare at your computer screen like that! I am a bazillion trillion times sorry for the weight (No, I do not know how many zeros that is) but – but I've got excuses! Good ones!
Homework, volunteering, band, friends, school, and, um, a little bit of laziness I guess BUT it's nearly summer for me! Only three days! (And none of you dare rub it in how you're already out!) I'll try really hard to get this story going and I want to finish it in maybe a year, but I'd probably start another story earlier, I've got, like, thirty ideas and a few are on my profile, so check them out! Please!
AN – completely random, but from COM for PS2, I just realized that Marluxia's name is actually pronounced 'Mar-loosh-a'! Go figure. Hm, maybe I'll end up adding 'Mar-loosh-a' in my story! XD
Disclaimer: Too tired to come up with something, but I'm never too tired to mourn over the fact that I do not own Kingdom hearts, but I do own a collection of action figures, plushies, and a poster . . . (sigh) it's just not the same though . . .
Warnings: swearing, BoyxBoy, remote abuse, bipolar Yuffie, and, um, a perverted Axel. =3
I'm so sorry for the wait, and I'm not sure of the quality of this chapter but, hey, enjoy anyway!

14: Let it all begin.
O . . . o . . . O . . . o . . . O . . . o . . . O
Everyone was slowly arriving, the only person left was Kairi, and they all decided that it'd be good to wait. Roxas had stayed true to his word, and he and his brother came first, carrying a large cooler into the mansion. They refused to open it until much later, and that only grew Sora's curiosity. He took a little while, after greeting Cloud, to really look at him. He really did look like Roxas, almost a spitting image. The only difference that Sora could pin point was the lighter hair and different style. Otherwise, it was like looking at his good friend, four years forward. It was a little weird, but he'd manage to get over it. Besides, Cloud was really nice, and even seemed to know Yuffie and Aerith . . . especially Yuffie.
It's weird though, because of all the stuff Kairi had written to him earlier changed his viewing of both Strifes. He tried to put in the back of his mind, but it was a lot harder than he intended that it would be. Afterwards, in the course of half an hour, nearly everyone had arrived. Hayner and Pence marveled at the food and entertainment which made Aerith and Yuffie ecstatic, Olette loved the 'unique and sculptured agriculture', Axel cheered and said it was finally a party worth going too, Demyx started showing off ghost busting moves (Yuffie immediately recognized the 'talent' and joined in), and even Zexion looked impressed. Sora already could tell that things were going to go well, and that made him jump with joy on the inside. After all, this was his first real party.
"Is it just me, or does that blonde kid look a LOT like you?" Riku asked. He and Namine had been by his side the whole time, and Sora doubted that they'd leave at any point of the party, whether he wanted them to or not. This made him feel really safe, and lighthearted. After they had sorted things out when he had arrived home, Sora was determined to keep himself on the same page as the ghosts.
"It's funny that you say that," Sora whispered (so that no one else would hear him), and remembered back to Monday when he had been attacked and confused for Roxas. Sure, it creeped him out severely, but hey, it also gave him a handful of great friends on the first day of school. That's just how life goes. He smiled to himself and Riku looked over at him curiously, "Why are you smiling . . . ?"
"Oh, no reason."
"What was that Soar?" Roxas, who was sitting beside him, turned to look at him. Sora blushed, shoot; I need to be more careful if I'm going to talk to Riku or Namine. Or else everyone will start to wonder.
He smiled sheepishly at the blonde, and scratched he back of his head, "Err, nothing. Just, um, talking to myself . . ."
"He's been doing a lot of that lately," Leon commented, and for some reason, everyone heard the conversation and started to laugh. For some other unfortunate reason, Yuffie was the one who defended him.
"Everyone stop laughing! So what if Sora talks to himself all the time –"
"What? I DO NOT do it all the –"
"SO WHAT? I do it too! It's perfectly normal!"
After a moment, Leon muttered, "But you're not normal."
"What did you say Leonhart?!" Yuffie leaned in close to his face, a twisted look on her face. Leon was unfazed (as he always is) and sighed, "Would you just back off, now?"
Yuffie grinned, in a devilish way, "Oh, does it bother you, Squall?"
Leon rolled his eyes, "Wouldn't it bother anyone?" He then added without fail, "It's Leon."
Yuffie then finally backed off, crossing her arms and pouting, "Squall, Leon. Leon, Squall. What does it matter! You can change the name, not the person."
Everyone showed confused looks. Was Yuffie trying to be dramatic? If so, she was putting it on a little too thick. Leon didn't seem to care about what she was implying, and only raised an eyebrow at her. The others, who didn't know Yuffie, looked scared, but Axel was overly amused, like it was entertainment.
"Well, either way," Yuffie continued, as she decided to place her seat right beside poor Cloud, who looked too uncomfortable, like anyone (except Leon) would be. "At least I've got Cloud, who is like a bazillion times better than you!"
"Yuffie," Aerith warned, but it wasn't like Yuffie was going to stop. She seemed to be on a roll.
"Do you want to know something?" She then asked Leon, oddly smug about it.
"Not really."
She put her arm around Cloud, who looked like he wanted to push the brunette away, but was of course to flustered and nice too doing anything like that. Yuffie then took a deep, obnoxious breath, "You are –"
The door bell rang. Everyone sighed as Yuffie got cut off and slumped back down, because it probably ruined her dramatic moment. Also, Cloud took the grand opportunity to jump up and announce that he'd get it. Sora took this moment to turn around to the confused and terrified – mostly terrified – looking ghosts. Ironic, terrified ghosts. If anyone could scare ghosts that they weren't even aware of, it was Yuffie.
He whispered, "That's Yuffie. Just seriously, keep your distance."
Namine had seemed to be in a daze, but now she giggled and Riku smiled wryly, "I'll be sure to keep that in mind, though, I'm sure it won't be hard."
Sora held in a laugh but grinned, then his attention turned to the final guest trudging her way in. Kairi. She had a back pack slung to one shoulder and was carrying a heavy looking metal case.
'What's in that?' Somehow, Sora had an old feeling about it and then thought. 'I wonder if she brought that journal . . .'
He went up to greet her, and offered to take the case, "Hey, Sora! Uh, no, I'm good; I'll just set it down here."
"Uh, okay . . ." Was it just him, or was there a defensive tone to her voice? She set both her case and backpack on the floor, sort of inconspicuously hiding the case in the process – It gave Sora a bad feeling. He glanced at the ghosts to see what they thought of Kairi, and was caught off guard to find them staring at her. Seriously staring. Sora then wondered if Kairi had some sort of ghostly connection, which kind of scared him. Before he could ask the ghosts, Yuffie clapped her hands excessively and obnoxiously, "Let's get this party STARTED! YAY!"
Everyone just sat there. Yuffie's grin evaporated and she whispered toward Sora harshly, "Uh party host, what are we suppose to do?"
He glared at her, "Why are you asking me? You're the one who completely took over this party."
Yuffie rolled her eyes, "Pft. Fine, I'll save your butt THIS TIME, but you owe me big!"
"Wait, what –"
"OKAY! First up on the list is movie time! Oh YEAH!" She pumped her fist in the air, and then reached for two different DVD's. "Ooookay, choice number one is The Great Ninja Adventure!"
Everyone stared at her either blankly or with 'you've got to be kidding me' looks.
Yuffie didn't notice, "Annnnd choice number two is Ninjapalooza!"
Silence.
"Okay, hold your excitement," Yuffie said, and no, she wasn't being sarcastic. "Now raise your hand if you want The Great Ninja Adventure!"
All hands remained down.
"Okaaay, interesting. Now, raise your hands if you want to watch Ninjapalooza!"
Hands remained down, accompanied by blank stares, and Yuffie's grin turned to a pout as she crossed her arms, "Oh, going to be difficult are we? FINE!" She threw the DVD's to the side, nearly knocking poor Aerith in the head, and one went right through Riku, who scowled. "What DO you want to watch?"
Mostly everyone shrugged, but Axel had this grin on his face and out of nowhere he pulled out a DVD of his own. Sora's heart sank when he saw the title The Grudge. Oh god, no! Not a horror movie! Please no. No! NO!
"Hmmm, The Grudge?" Yuffie took the movie and examined it. "Well . . . it does fit with the atmosphere."
"What atmosphere?" Cloud asked.
"Well, the ghost hunting, butt-kicking, eerie, spooky, haunted, and leering atmosphere!" Then, as if on cue, a roar of thunder boomed and rain could be heard pattering on the glass windows. "Oh this is just too perfect! Now it's a ghost hunting, butt-kicking, eerie, spooky, haunted, leering, and thunder storm atmosphere! Nice one Spiky!"
Axel, not seeming to mind the nick name, gave her thumbs up. While everyone was getting set up, getting the perfect seats and right snacks, Sora was mentally horrified. He hated horror movies, and he had heard that The Grudge was especially creepy. Added with the storm, the house, and the fact that a horrible, deadly ghost was suppose to make his 'premier' that night . . . Sora was just about ready to scream.
"You don't want to see this "movie" do you?" Sora blinked and turned around, whispering, "Is it really that obvious?"
"No," Riku smiled. "Not really obvious. But I can sense feelings, because I'm a ghost."
"Oh yeah? Well, I guess you could say that I'm a little scared – wait scratch that, completely and utterly horrified."
"Because of . . . well, the "bad" ghosts?"
"Yeah, that's part of it. Along with the house and the storm, but I really hate horror movies."
"What's wrong with them?"
Sora was about to look at Riku oddly, but then he remembered how back when Riku had been alive, there were barely any T.V.'s, and movies were just starting out. There's was probably a lot of new stuff that Riku didn't get, even the though the ghost seemed so smart to Sora. Sora then tried to answer the question without sounding too lame, "Um, well, they're movies meant to scare people. They aren't exactly bad, but I don't know, I just get scared easily . . ."
"It's your party, so why are you watching it?"
Sora sighed, because as blunt as Riku was, he was right too. He shouldn't have to watch this movie, but it was a pressure thing. He wanted to impress his new friends and NOT push them away, "It's just – oh, you wouldn't get it."
"Just tell me." Riku urged, and Sora sighed. One thing that he had learned about the ghost was that Riku could be very pushy, and didn't like to be let out of anything- Ironic, really, because almost all week he was disappearing all over the place leaving Sora with countless questions which had still never been answered.
"Riku, drop it," Sora was about to turn back around, but then he felt an extremely cold and sharp feeling in his shoulder. He looked, and Riku had put his hand there, with a smirk on his face while doing so. Sora shrugged it off, and rubbed his Shoulder harshly to try to regain some heat. He gave Riku a look, and the ghost merely responded by more urging, "Tell me."
"No."
"C'mon."
"No, Riku."
"Why not?"
"Because."
"That's not a reason."
"Who cares?!"
"I do."
"You know what –"
"Hey Sora," Sora twitched his head to look at Roxas immediately. "Could you stop having a conversation with yourself - because we, uh, need to start the movie."
Sora looked around to find everyone staring at him. Wonderful, twice in one night. He laughed nervously, "Ha ha, sorry, I was – um, well it's just – You see . . . I'll just be quiet now."
Sora quickly turned his head to glare full on at the ghost, who only shrugged his shoulders. The brunette sighed and turned back around, and started to take notice of where everyone was sitting. On the far right couch were Aerith, Yuffie, Cloud, and Leon. Yuffie was plopped right in between Leon and Cloud, looking too content while Leon seemed like he'd want to move but decided against it because Yuffie might cause some uproar over it. On the middle couch were Kairi, Roxas, Axel, and him. He was right between Kairi and Roxas and noted – with a slight smirk – that Roxas and Axel were sitting next to each other. Then on the left couch were the rest – Demyx, Zexion, Hayner, Pence, and Olette. The T.V. screen was flashing commercials, and everyone was silent. Sora was scared to death already, by the spooky title screen, and was shaking so hard that he was moving around from his place. Luckily, no one seemed to notice, but his screaming was probably going to be a dead giveaway – and he knew that his lungs were going to get a lot of work in the next few hours.
As Yuffie finally found the remote after ten minutes – ten very grieving minutes on Sora's part – she clicked the play button.
Nothing.
Yuffie raised an eyebrow and clicked again.
Nothing.
Yuffie gave a confused look, hesitated and clicked again.
Nothing.
Yuffie desperately clicked the play button multiple times, shaking it harshly in the process.
Nothing.
Yuffie grit her teeth, "STUPID DAMN REMOTE! WORK I TELL YOU! WORK!"
Sora could almost swear that Yuffie's eye's changed red and she started to foam at the mouth. She continued to shake the remote and actually punched the play button. It was actually amusing, if not completely frightening, and still, nothing happened.
"Argh!" She seriously pelted the remote at the wall, and amazingly enough, it didn't break but fell to the floor. She turned to Leon, "Squall! The remote won't work! You bought me a defracted remote!"
"You mean defected?"
"Oh, WHATEVER! NOW BECAUSE OF YOU, YEAH YOU, WE CAN'T WATCH THE MOVIE!"
"Err, Yuffie," Aerith cut in as nicely as she could. "Did you put batteries in the remote?"
The ninja froze, and then ran over to the remote and opened the latch, she looked up sheepishly, "Wow, err guess what everybody? No . . . Batteries . . ."
She looked at Aerith, who gave her a look, and she walked over to Leon and muttered, "Sorry Squa- OW! I – I mean Leon. Can I have some batteries, please?"
"We don't have any." Came Sora's brother's simple reply.
Yuffie twitched, "What?"
"We don't have any batteries."
Yuffie dropped the remote and blew up again (not literally, though it was pretty close), "NO FRICKIN BATTERIES?! WHY DO WE HAVE NO BATTERIES? HUH SQUALL?!"
"Your list didn't have batteries on it."
She slapped her herself on the forehead, "its freaking common sense!"
Leon scoffed, "That coming from you? Besides, you told me to buy what was only on the list and nothing else."
"Of all the times to actually listen to me!" Yuffie groaned. "Do you like torturing me, Squally?"
"Do you like torturing me?"
Yuffie glared, "That is not the point. Now YOU need to go get some batteries, and I don't care if you make it alive or dead through this storm! I just want my batteries!"
Leon rolled his eyes, "Fine. Aerith, keep her under control."
Yuffie watched him as he walked across the room to grab his coat, then she pointed at Cloud, "Cloud! Go with him to make sure he does what he's told!"
"Eh?" the blond seemed confused, but Yuffie grabbed his hand and pulled him up and pushed him towards the door.
Leon sighed, "Ch. I think I can manage to pick up one pack of batteries."
This is when Yuffie smirked, "Oh no! I've got another list for you two!"
She took a piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it too Leon, smugly. The brunette read it over, "Twenty packs of batteries? Fifteen flashlights? A tent? 50 pillows? Why do we need so much of everything? And just why a tent? We're not on a camping trip."
"I don't need a reason, just go get it. It's not your money anyway," Yuffie grinned, Leon scowled, and Cloud looked completely confused. Then Yuffie threw the blond his coat and pushed the two through the door, closing it quickly before either could say anything. She turned around with a smile and clapped her hands as she came back to the others.
"Okay, so will have to wait a little for the movie! But no worries! I've got a list!" She pulled out yet another piece of paper, and opened it up. What was with her and lists anyway? Either way, Sora mentally sighed in relief, he was safe from humiliation . . . for a little while, but what else would Yuffie come up with?
" . . . Numero two on the awesomest list of ninjafied fun would be . . ." She smiled devishly, "Truth or dare!"
Oh, god.
'I officially hate you Yuffie. Out of all the stupid games in the world, truth and dare?! C'mon!'
Sora hated truth or dare. Let's just say it all started with a very bad experience when he was twelve that involved Selphie, resident crazy of Destiny Islands. It was like reliving a nightmare in history, except this time, there were more people, more chances of embarrassment, and Yuffie who by all levels beat Selphie out in craziness. But of course, he couldn't say anything against it. Stupid teen peer pressure.
Though, this time, no one looked quite excited (except Yuffie) about the game, but yet, they let her go on with it.
"Kay, I'll go first," Yuffie declared and plopped down on the couch. "Hm . . . Spike!" She pointed at Axel. "Truth or dare?"
"Eh . . . truth."
Yuffie grinned devilishly, "Ah, playing safe are we? Okay, okay, have you lost your virginity yet and with whom?"
Everyone in the room paled, but Axel, who smirked, "One, that's two questions and two, for the sake of all the innocent minds in this room, I'm going to have to pass."
"Fine," Yuffie rolled her eyes, "Now just pick someone."
"Okay, let's see . . . Kairi."
The red head beside Sora just blinked, "What?"
"Kairi, truth or dare?"
Kairi glared at her cousin and sighed, "Dare."
There came that smirk again, "I dare you too give it back."
'Huh?' Sora, and everyone else was confused, but the question put a big impact on Kairi. What was it?
Kairi's eyes were wide and she quickly got up and pulled Axel up, "Err, we'll be right back. Continue on!"
Then she dragged them both into the kitchen. Everyone one just stared in space until Yuffie said, "O – Kay . . . um, Demyx! Truth or dare?"
While Sora and Riku were fixated on all the odd things Yuffie was coming up with, Namine looked towards the kitchen, 'Kairi . . . Axel . . .'
She disappeared.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"What the hell was that?!"
Namine floated in to see the red heads teeth gritted, and hands in fist while Axel leaned against the wall, "Now now, what did I say about swearing?"
"I. Don't. CARE!" She realized how loud her last word was and quickly covered her mouth and said quietly, "This is a private matter, Axel, why would you go and say it in front of everyone?"
"But I didn't," Kairi raised a brow at him and he continued. "I didn't say give the white book filled with weird magic things that belonged to our dearly departed N –"
"Please, don't say that name," Kairi had the look of wanting to cry but wiped it off to continue her glare at her cousin, "Well, you didn't need to use that in a dare, I would've done it anyway."
"Hey, be happy for that dare," Axel said. "Choice number two was too have you run around the mansion, screaming, in your underwear."
She shoved him, "You're such a sicko, Axel," She muttered.
"Thanks," He flashed a grin and her eyes narrowed. Namine laughed lightly as the display.
"What was that?" Kairi asked eyes wide. Axel seemed surprised too.
"I . . . don't . . . know. I heard laughing."
Namine put her hand in front of her mouth, astonished that they could actually hear her . . . and it wasn't under her consent like it was with Sora. The two red heads looked at each other and then around the kitchen, and Namine could almost swear that Kairi and her locked eyes for a split second. The ghost smiled sadly, wanting to cry if she could.
"That was a bit of déjà vu there . . ." Kairi said.
"Yeah, it was almost like I heard . . . ." Axel responded.
" . . ." It was silent for a moment until they looked at each other and actually smiled, yeah, smiled. Namine grinned; this was just what she was aiming for.
There was a lot of yelling coming from the main room, and Yuffie's voice was evident in the mess.
"I think that'd we'd better go back," Axel said. "Before too much damage is done."
"Yeah," Kairi nodded and laughed a little and they exited the kitchen, and Namine followed, so happy that she barely took in the commotion and yelling of the others. She step herself down beside Riku, he looked at her oddly, "Why are you smiling?"
"Oh, just having a good time is all."
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"No! NO! NO!"
"Come on Sora!"
"No, no, no, no, no, NO!"
"Aw, Sora – bear!"
"Call me again and I'll –"
"Hey, what's all the yelling about?" Kairi and Axel came out of the kitchen and all at once the commotion froze and the two red heads looked at them all with questioning gazes. Sora was the first to respond; he jumped up and complained, "Yuffie's trying to make me cross dress! Tell her how absolutely cra –"
"Nice one!" Axel grinned and high fived the beaming ninja, and Kairi just burst out laughing.
Even Riku and Namine were laughing, which just fueled Sora's frustration.
"NO, THIS IS NOT NICE AT ALL! You guys, seriously –"
"Well, you were the one who took the dare," Yuffie pointed out.
"Besides," Demyx chirped. "You'd look sooooo cute!"
"I would not –"
"Come Sora! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do –"
"NO!" He finally, seriously, screamed which surprised everyone. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no-"
"Sor –"
"- no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no –"
"Oh, co-"
"- no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, n-"
"SORA!" Yuffie yelled finally, and the brunette finally stopped and she scoffed, "God, just shut up already!"
"Ironic," Roxas muttered, beside Sora. "The annoying is getting annoyed."
"What was that Blondie?"
"Nothing!"
"Oh ho!" Yuffie grinned and pulled on Roxas' arm to make him stand up with the position of raising his hand but the blond's reluctant face told the real story. Yuffie was grinning yet again, "You know who else would look oh – so – adorable cross dressing? Blondie here! I say let's get them BOTH in dresses!"
Sora paled and Roxas blushed red as everyone cheered, gee, thanks "friends".
BAM.
The storm was roaring all the while but this particular bang of thunder accompanied with a flash of lightning caused the commotion to halt and for everyone to look around. Yuffie slowly let go of Roxas' hand, and even she too, looked a little uncomfortable.
"Wow, this storm is getting kind of . . . strong," She looked really nervous, and Sora wondered if she was scared of thunder storms, but who wouldn't be? Along with the house and the fact that Leon was gone, Sora was starting to gain fear back. He almost wished they were still teasing him; at least the mood was lighter.
Yuffie, settled down, sat down beside Aerith. She sighed, "I wonder how Leon and Cloud are doing . . ."
"Well, with that list you gave them," Commented Sora wryly. "We'll be lucky if they're back by tomorrow."
Yuffie grimaced, and it was weird, seeing her so . . . off. In other words, not beaming and annoying and loud. She then pulled out a black cell phone, and typed in a number, and held the phone to her ear. After ten seconds, she sighed and flipped the phone shut, "No signal, of course."
Everyone was silent, until Olette piped up.
"Well, why don't we try –"
BAM!
Everything went black.
There was an idiotic delayed reaction and everyone screamed, just out of habit. For Sora, it was near pitch black except for Riku glowing next to him, for some reason, Namine was gone. He didn't ask, but he gave Riku a questioning/terrified/worried look, the ghost responded by saying confidently, "Don't worry, I'll get Namine and we'll find some way to get the lights back on. Besides, it's just a storm, and power goes out all the time."
But what if this is all Xemnas? But Sora just nodded, and whispered, "Be safe."
Riku smiled at him sadly, "I'm a ghost, what more could happen? But . . . thanks, you too."
The ghost disappeared and it was pitch black, the screaming settled, and he could decipher Aerith's sweet and calm voice.
"Everyone calm down, Yuffie and I –"
"Wait, WHY me –"
"YUFFIE and I," Aerith continued. "Will go get flashlights because Leon told us where they were. Everyone stay here and stay close together, now let's do a roll call to make sure everyone is here. She called off each person's name and Sora was impressed that she remembered everyone's name, and it really helped ease the panic knowing that Aerith was responsible and calm.
" . . . So . . ."
"Sooooo . . ."
"Um . . ."
"Somebody just say something!" Now THAT was Demyx, "I hate the quiet!"
"Well why don't you start?" Zexion, yeah Zexion, suggested wryly.
"Okay . . . sooooo, uh . . . ." A defeated sigh. "I can't think of anything!"
"I've got an idea," Axel, with a smirk in his voice. "Anyone up for a couple rounds of seven minutes in heaven? We don't even need a closet."
"Oh god, Axel!" Kairi's moan was evident. "No!"
"Well, that's just your opinion – maybe everyone else wants –"
"Actually Axel," Sora cut in. "I'll have to pass on that one."
Thank god it was dark, or else everyone would've seen his red face. Though, he sort of wanted to see Roxas' face after that comment, the blonde was being really quiet. Thankfully, no one backed up Axel on his idea, and the red head sighed.
"Fine, then. Any bright ideas before Demyx over wherever explodes."
"And wouldn't that just be a shame," Kairi drawled.
"KAIRI!" Demyx cried out. "I thought we were, like, best friends!"
"There's no need to be mean Kairi," Axel said.
"Yeah, yeah – AH!"
Kairi was cut off short by a short scream,then she was silent anad stuttered out, "S-something – something t-touched m-me!"
"Okay, which one of you little perverts touched my cousin?" Axel asked mock-accusingly.
"Axel, this is serious!" Kairi snapped, sounding like she was on the verge of crying.
"Kairi, calm down, maybe one us bumped into you –"
"No! It was really cold and glassy – I-it was not real!"
"So . . . what?" Demyx asked, fear evident in his voice. "Was it a . . . ghost? Oh no!"
"Demyx, get off of me," Zexion muttered.
What happened to those ghost busting moves? Sora thought, but didn't blame the blond, he was kind of thinking the same thing too.
"Guys – this is-"
Suddenly, everything lit up, and everyone was visible and blinking. Finally comprehending that the power was back, they all sighed in relief. Moments later, Aerith and Yuffie came down happily and the Riku and Namine appeared behind Sora, thumbs up. Sora sighed; they were okay, for now.
"Well, now that that's over with, let's get on with our game," Yuffie proclaimed as she and Aerith sat down.
"Wait . . ."
Everyone looked at Axel who stood up and looked around.
"Where . . . where's Roxas?"
