"So what do you mean?" Riku raised an eyebrow at the girl walking next to him "Exactly what I said, I'm back to my bad ol' self again" Kiane smirked at the boy. "Kiane! you told me you wouldn't do that again. I've been trying so hard to get away from maleficent and all this darkness crap, then you turn around and become all evil!" Riku sat down on a step "I just wanted to be with you, Riku. I thought you would've been happy, the way we used to be" She sat next to him, setting her Keyblade down on the steps "You want us to be how we used to be? You want to be controlled, Kiane!?!" He paused "That's what they're gonna do to you! Don't you remember telling me that you were gonna get out and come back for me as soon as you could? You did that, now I told you that I was gonna come back for you and we were gonna be happy together again, and you do this to me." "Riku...."She looked off into the distance, her eyes filling with tears " I just wanted to be with you" "I want to be with you too, Kiane, but I don't want you to be the same way I am for us to be together. The darkness is bad, I want us to have a normal relationship like the one Sora and Kairi have, I've envied them for having a normal relationship while we have this crazy one." He took the girls hand in his "You need to get Sora to turn you back to the way you were, understand me?" "Yeah, I will." She smiled slightly "You're going to come back for me right? You're not gonna leave me?" "I'm never going to leave you, Kiane. I promise" He leaned forward and kissed her softly before getting up. He began walking off then turned to her "Promise me you'll get Sora to turn you back?" "I promise!" She smiled and ran off to the first district where Sora was.
* * * "Sora!" Kiane stopped in front of the Accessory Shop, a bit out of breath. "Sora?" She looked around for the brunette. She ran up the stairs and over to where the entrance to the Second District was. "Sora!?" She looked around "Where is he?" She started running again, running right into Leon. "What do you want?" Leon jumped back, away from the girl. "Leon! Thank goodness, have you seen Sora?" She looked around some more to make sure that he wasn't standing around. "Yeah, I saw him walking off into the alleyway. He said he needed some time to think. "He cocked a brow "Why?" "I can't explain that now, but thanks a bunch it's really important" She ran off in the opposite direction, jumping off the ledge and running into a hole in what looked to be a gate. She came to an abrupt stop when she practically ran into a stack of boxes. She sighed heavily and jumped onto the boxes then down onto the ground. She spotted Sora, who had his shoes off and was sitting with his feet in the water, staring at his reflection. The girl walked over to him, standing next to him. "What'cha doin here all by yourself?" Sora looked up at the girl with the red hair who was towering over him at the moment. "Just thinking." "I'm glad you've taken some time out to think but, now's not the best time to be doing that." She extended her hand, to help him up. "Why do you say that?" He took her hand and stood up so he was now around the same height as her "because you've got some normal-ness to be getting me back to" She smiled, but it quickly changed "and you might want to hurry it up too" "You mean it's gonna work this time?" He cocked a brow, his Keyblade appearing in his hand "Yes, it would've worked last time but I blocked it with my own Keyblade." "Ok" Sora took a few steps back, aiming his Keyblade at her heart, a bright white light shot out of the tip and straight into Kiane's heart. Once it hit, there was a huge flash of darkness, followed by a flash of light. She looked around, still sort of dizzy from the process that just took place. "Did it work?" He asked her "I think so." She watched as a heartless crawled around behind Sora. "..Duck.." "What?" Sora ducked down as Kiane flipped over him, using her Keyblade to slice at the heartless, who disappeared quickly after being hit. "I would say so" The Keyblade disappeared, turning into a charm on a bracelet around her wrist. She hugged the boy tightly "Thank you so much, Sora!" "No problem" He smiled and hugged her back. "Now lets get going" He parted from the hug and started walking, Kiane following him into the First District. "Hope I didn't scare Leon, with trying to kill him and all." She hopped up onto the ledge, Sora following her. "I don't think you did" He smiled "It might have freaked him out a little at first but I'm sure he figured out that you weren't really you at the time." He walked down the stairs. "Hey there, you guys!" Yuffie, stood next to the mailbox. "Hi, Yuffie." Sora smiled "Hey! Have you seen Leon around?" Kiane asked the short haired girl who was standing in front of her. "I saw him walking off with Joey, I dunno where they were going though." she shrugged, "I would try asking Logyn, she was the one who I saw talking to him last." "Ok..." Kiane ran off to find Logyn or Cloud. "Logyn!? Cloud?!" She looked around for them, but instead found Cid. "Oh, Cid, Have you seen Leon? Or Logyn? Or Cloud?" "Leon, yes but, the other two, no" Cid looked around to see if maybe they were just hiding in the shadows somewhere. "I can barely keep up with those two, they kinda just lurk around in the shadows till they feel like they are needed" "Great! where was he headed?" She smiled. "Looked like he was headed to the house him and Joey share." "Thanks, Cid" She ran off back towards Sora and out into the Third District
