Once again I felt my heart jerk back, only this time there were no golden clouds to reassure my safety... just the black mist that surrounded me as I fell. My thoughts drifted back to the day I left Leon at the Traverse Town gates and I noticed I still had tears creeping down my face from the betrayal of Riku. It wasn't betrayal I guess... he did say he loved me. I may never see him again. 'Just like Leon' I said aloud, but no sound was heard. Closing my eyes I thought back farther to when we sat under the big Traverse Town sign. It was my birthday, and Leon was acting shy. It made me smile.

Familiarity was felt as I touched ground beneath me. Opening my eyes I saw I had stopped - without hitting hard floor- in a small circular room. It was Wonderland, but at the time I didn't know it. (Sorry if I seem a little lazy but I REALLY don't want to talk about ALL the worlds.) I travelled many worlds in those 4 years... meeting new people. I lost all hope in ever finding my old friends, and decided to follow a new path. At around age 16 I got my guns. Star 21 handguns they were called. Made from pure silver and plated gold. Engraved into the side was the word 'Raine' with a star, like on Leons ring... I equipped these, rather expensive, gifts from a gypsy women I went to see in Agrabah. She told me my destiny was to fight on the side closest to my heart, for thats where I can find all the good things in my life.

Now... I have no clue why she chose me, or why she said all the good things are in my heart. If anything, I thought the good things would be my memories, since that was all I really had. The gypsy, though, said I had a power only so many people would sense, and that I could choose to do anything with it. She sent me to a man who gave me new clothes, boots and straps for my guns. I felt like a superhero! But.... I had no idea how to use a gun, that is until I tried. I was a little shaking at first, experimenting with the 9mm silver bullets, each with a star on the side, and they never seemed to run out... Magic? I didn't question it. Anyway, I developed fighting skills over time. I needed to since the heartless were growing stronger and stronger everyday, and they came after anything with power, trying to drain the power out of me.

-

I gave a small "Hah." And flipped my hair over my shoulder as the giant faceless creature hit the earth, spilling into the ground and vanishing. I slipped my handguns back into the leather pouches attached to my ankles. It seemed that was all the heartless in this spot, but i was sure just walking into the next district would bring more. I took a deep breath and looked up at the sign in front. 3rd District, it said in huge neon letters. I made a huge smile. I got warped back to Traverse Town... after years of going world to world, I was back. "Leon... " I said quietly, and took hold on the ring around my neck, watching the light bounce off it for a few minutes before returning my gaze to the sign. I walked toward it slowly, trying to keep in my excitement, not thinking of the possibility he may be absent from this world.

I heard a slight hit of pavement and turned sharply to see a big glowing eyed creature appear. I didn't hesitate for a moment. I could have spent a second and killed it but I had to see Leon so I just yelled "Kill you later!" watching the dumbfounded heartless follow me to the door only to have it shut in his face.

I jumped over the new heartless materializing from the ground, and kept jumping and running through the narrow alley to Leons old home. I didn't even stop as I kicked open the door of his old abandon looking house and stared to see... Leon and another women. She was pretty, I'll say that, but she was with my Leon. I'm sure it was Leon because... well I just knew it! "Leon." I said, my voice felt like it was shattering as I spoke. "Leon... it's me , Erin." The other souls in the room stared, obviously not expecting someone to burst in on them, not that they were doing anything, they were sitting around a table in the middle of the room, the kitchen table.

Leon's friend was the first to speak, and I could tell from Leon's expression he couldn't tell whether to be upset or be happy. " Hello, " she said awkwardly to me. "Leon, do you know her?" she turned to Leon and said it in a harsh tone. "I do. " he said calmly. "Leon can we talk.. please? I didn't spend years trying to find you to leave right away!" I grabbed his hand and brought him into the next room, the room I used to stay in. I made sure this conversation would stick, because right now I was furious.

"Who was SHE!?" I practically yelled at him. Leon gave me a cold gaze. "She is my wife. Her name is Aerith. I'm surprised you even came back, and now your yelling at me. I don't remember you saying hello, or a how are you." He was acting way too calm. "YOUR WIFE!" I shouted and pulled him so we were nose to nose. " Do you remember what I SAID! I said I would come back didn't I?" I pushed him back, but he seemed unshaken. " Yes. I remember." I raised my eyebrows at this. "So, you just let everything we had go?" This seemed to shock him a bit, and he chuckled. " Now , I don't remember us having anything."

Thats when I pulled him into a kiss. I gave him the whole arm around the neck, tongue in mouth, tonsil hockey kiss, and he didn't resist. But, when I broke the kiss, I noticed he was still expressionless, so I said, "You didn't... feel anything?" I was in complete shock, everything was going wrong, but what he said next really hit me deep. " Erin... I'm sorry, but you left. You left this place even when I told you to stay. If anyone left anyone, you left me, and you can't expect me to wait around for you forever."

It hurt me because I knew it was true. But I would not let myself believe that. "Fine. " I said, my voice stammering from the tears. " I hope I never see your fucking face again." I put all my anger into that, said it like I felt it, and with my last ounce of dignity, I pulled off the necklace and threw it at him, only for it to fall from his reaching hands and hit the floor. It all happened so quickly.. I opened the door and walked through the kitchen, saying "Bye bitch." To Aerith as I left.
