I soon found my feet walking in a careless line, and when I looked up I saw the line had carried me into the 2nd District. I sighed briefly and walked into a small market, heading directly to the freezer aisles. I opened one and pulled out a glass jug of frozen frappichino . As I walked up to the counter to pay for it , I also stopped at a fruit stand, and at the bakerman's post for a cornbread cake. They rang it up at the counter; 1 apple, 1 cornbread cake, and one icy frappichino, all for $3.75. As I root in my pockets for coins, the wrapped the cornbread in a cloth, and gave me a paper towel for the apple. I nodded thankfully and walked out the sliding doors into the cool air.

Not paying any attention I ran into someone. I was about to tell them off until I noticed who it was. "Riku...""I was concerned when you left so quickly,alone.""Oh..,"I said looking down. He walked me to a bench and sat beside me, while I nibbled at the bread, slowly making it disappear. "Where did you go?"I paused in the first bite of apple, to think."To my house....To find some things out, the truth.""He nodded.His face was still very pale. I twisted the cap off of my drink and drank some, wiping off the white mark it made on my upper lip.

"Did you find any answers?""I suppose, but that only brought more questions. And why do you ask so many questions?""I was worried , ok?"I grinned and lent back into the crook of his arm, his arm intertwining with my waist. Distantly, he said,"You live so complicatedly. Only to be so non- understood." He was exactly right, and I sighed. Except, he was beginning to understand me. I had my enemies, friends, allies, that understood my battle, or appearance, but not what counted. I never had anybody before besides him, Riku.

Later, he left though very reluctantly, and I started towards my house again. I would have to stay there tonight, and had more research to do anyway. Unlocking the door I walked in and up the steps into my old room.My bag, which I had summoned earlier was on top of the bed, and I changed into blue flannel PJ pants and a white tee, shivering because of the cold and lit the hidden fireplace for warmth. Looking out the window, through purple stained glass, I could see the sun was gone though it was not late at all. It had been this way for a while and I wondered why it had suddenly become so dark. I walked hurriedly away from the window, when I saw lights blinking out.

I crawled under the pale green covers, shivering again ignoring the breeze blowing through the house.When I woke up in the morning the fire was out, and my skin was a light shade of blue. I hurried down to the furnace and turned it on, warmth spreading. The sun hadn't come up at all. Something was definitely wrong and I went ,yet again, to the library.I went to the shelves marked losses, and went to the earthal need losses.The book was thick, yet thin and I abruptly started turning pages. I stopped at "loss of sun and electricity"and read it aloud:

The sun won't come out, though it is time,

You will soon learn that, yet in time.

The light of day will not appear,

And you will face your greatest fear.

Springing out from dark hollows, it will be your greatest foe.

Only the dark can be set back, by one with light,

The exact key, banishing the one with memory.

Below it had a small explaining article, explaining the poem. This dark was caused by memory and would eat at the worlds core if not sealed. Did I do this? Probably.My memories were dark enough and I brought the darkness here. Ohhhh!

Now I searched through spell books for a sealing spell. I had searched through 18 already."Aha!" Pointing your weapon at the world's lock, believe with all of your might, and say the final words, Ohana lasteal ragamok. Like that helped.

I stopped dead. Why should I believe these silly books? Why? Because even though they were mostly silly poems and verses, most authors were experienced and were involved with the dark in the past. All were truth and I knew it .The core was in the 2nd district and I would have to seal it ,before darkness got it. My mother had always taught me to believe in what I knew was right. And I did. My stomach growled as I clutched it. I would need food before I went though.

Aftera meal of frozen chicken drumsticks, honey and a roll, and a wedge of cheese, and a quick change of clothes, into a black t shirt cut off at the breast line, a silver key in the middle, and tan pocket cargos, I was soon strapping on armor. My kneeplates covered over my pants, and my shoulder plates were securely fastened. My strongest accessories and my sword, on standby, was the rest. I walked out the door and walked on ,only to be stopped by a figure. It was Sora.
