"I don't understand."That was a sentence that was used to often anymore.Suddenly it felt like someone had put 10 pounds on top of my armor. It made me grab, and sit on the bed.I put my face in my palms.I didn't understand.But how couldn't I? Something I've searched for forever was found and I didn't understand.Something I've researched, looked into, thought about and I didn't understand.It didn't make sense. It felt as though my heart beat faster than charts could count and now it stopped.

Beep...Beep...Bleeeeeeeeeeep..



Riku swam over to me .He obviously thought he had done something wrong.But it was good. Or was it bad?"Lakura,I don't understand.""Neither do I."Swimming in front of me and grabbed my wrists causing me to jerk up,into his eyes."You have to understand ,I would never do anything to hurt you.You have to trust in me.Undrestand, you have to trust." He looked dead serious.Hot tears welled up and spilled on my already hot cheeks.He shook me gently once."You can't give up!"I was the only one who understood this.And he was right.



Riku's P.O.V.



*Dream sequence* "Sora!" I ran at him with the dark keyblade, dressed in red black and blue."What can your puny heart do for you now?!""It can save me and yours can save you!""Yeah ,right."*End Dream*

"Ah!!"I jumped up."That dream,that memory.Why do I keep reliving it?"It was that day at Hollow Bastion..Why?Oh.The message. Power comes from the heart.



This bed was uncomfortable had flown to Traverse Town, and rented rooms in the 1st district.Lakura had earlier left with a thick blanket to the secret waterway.She said she couldn't sleep here. Seems I couldn't either. I went to check on her. Taking a thin blanket I wandered alleyways until I found the one to the waterway.A soft green glow surrounded me.It had a mysterious glow, the Waterway.I padded on the soft ground.

Lakura was asleep in an end corner by a picture of stars and a moon.I found my own corner at another end. I gazed at the water. It was beautiful. I touched the green wall but sighed and put my hand down."Why are you here?"I looked up.

End Riku's P.O.V.

"It's you.""Who were you expecting?"I said staring at the water. I sat down on a ledge that, further led into water.Not caring I spread my knees apart placing my hands on them.I still stared.

"Waiting for so long.."I murmured. "What?""Atlantica is the happiest place I've been in a long time, besides your island. I spent probably to much time in Hollow Bastion. Reviewing graves, doing library work, Watching Rising falls.Not to cheery that place.I spent extended time there, far too long. And when I wasn't there I was in Halloweentown. Talk about happy."I said glancing up and back down again."I was almost a resident. I spent my time on Moonlit Hill,Staring at the twilight. I had Zero the ghost dog. A real friend that dog.I sometimes was other where but mostly there."I said sighing.

"Occasionally I stopped in the Colosseum or in the Jungle but not much elsewhere. Hollow Bastion and Halloween town were like my hideouts.And naturally with all that dark, my heart began to grow dark, dormant. I had a strong heart, but the darkness weakened it, and that made me mentally weak to a point.Darkness threatened my every step, haunted me, tortured my thoughts."

I blinked back tears. But carried on."And then in Atlantica.." There was a long silence."Lakura?Can I ask you why your symbol is a key?""Yes.It reminds me of my purpose, my mission."I got up.Looking back I tuned and left.My feet led me to the fountain in the 3rd district. I sat down body facing outwards, face towards the fountain.I had spent a lot of time here while I was recovering from being alone.

Footsteps.He had followed me, again.He was soon right behind me.I looked.He offered me a mint roll."I thought you might be hungry.""It didn't' take you long to follow me here."I said taking the roll.I had missed lunch."I think we should talk.You were doing ok back there but then you left.""Ok.."I said hesitantly,"Lets..Talk."
