UPDATION!
:B I suck. BUT here's a new chapter! It's in Roxas' perspective and stuff, and I thought it would be rather interesting. Oh yeah.
What would happen if Roxas could go to the xxxHOLiC world? Or, any Nobody, for that matter. And, it's Demyx AND Roxas since everybody loves Demyx! And Roxas… apparently…

"Those are some tall buildings…" I mused.
"They sure are," Demyx agreed.
"Why did they send you with me?"
Demyx grunted in annoyance, "does anyone like me? Jeeze!"
"Sorry," I sighed.
"You should be."
"Ugh."
"Hey, Roxas, what are we looking for again?"
"Stupid, we're just looking around! It seems like there aren't any heartless in this world…"
"There's other kinds of evil, though," Demyx pointed out.
"I s'ppose."
We walked in silence for a little while, until Demyx spotted something.
"What's that?"
I turned to him. "What's what?"
Demyx pointed ahead, "that empty lot!'
"One would assume that it's just an empty lot." I looked where he was pointing. "I don't see an empty lot."
You're blind, then." Demyx scoffed.
"I'm not!"
"Look, I'll show you." He grabbed me and proceeded to walk towards where he thought an empty lot was. He stopped in front of what looked like a house. There was another boy there, too, but he didn't seem to care that we were there.
"See?"
"No, you're blind. That's a house."
"It's an empty lot!"
"House!"
"LOT!"
"Hey."
It was the boy. He had black hair and an expressionless face. Oddly enough, he looked vaguely like Lexaeus. (DOUMEKI! I LOVE Doumeki. Like, LOTS.)
"What?" I asked.
"You," he nodded at me, "see a house?"
"Something like it." I admitted. "Why?"
The boy stared at me for a long time.
"Don't touch the fence." And with that, he walked away.
"What kind of advice is that?" Demyx inquired, leaning on the fence.
I rolled my eyes. "None you're going to heed, I see."
Demyx huffed. "'Course not! Just going to give us random tips like that… Lay a hand on the fence, Roxy."
"Roxas."
"Right, Roxas, whatever."
I looked at the barrier. What harm could it do? Certainly isn't hurting Demyx… I put my hand on the fence.
And waited.
"See? Nothing!"
"I guess…" I was still uncertain. (You should be, Roxy.)
"Let's go, Rox, I'm getting uneasy."
"Yeah…" I tried to move, but my legs…
"Demyx?"
"Huh?"
"I can't move my legs."
He stared at me, and I stared at him.
"Sucks for you, Roxal."
"Roxal? Wait, you're not going to help me?"
"Can't. I like using my legs, really."
"I don't think it's contagious, Demyx!"
"Don't care."
I groaned and tried to will my legs to move.
"Hey, they're moving, Roxist! Wait, where are you going?"
"I can't control them! They're moving on their on!" Moving… towards the house. (is that the right "their"?"
"Why are you going into the empty lot?"
"IT'S NOT AN EMPTY LOT!"
I stumbled up the front steps, into the doorway, and fell face first into the floor.
Then I heard two little girls giggling. "Mistress, we have a visitor!" they said at the same time.
There was an annoyed, male, grunt. "Yuuko-san! Get off your butt and go see to the customer!
A woman chuckling. "Why, Watanuki! I didn't know you cared about the customers!"
"Just get up!"
I looked at my surroundings. Two little girls, one had short pink hair in two little buns of the top of her head, and the other had long blue hair in pigtails, were sitting in front of me.
"Is the customer alright?" They looked at me, concerned.
"Hm? Are you talking to me?"
The blue one giggled. "He's funny!"
The pink one nodded. "Like Watanuki!"
A woman, not quite beautiful but not ugly either, walked into the room. "Maru! Moro! Leave the poor boy alone."
"I'm not a child."
The woman blinked, "oh, I'm sorry, did I offend you?"
There was some mumbling behind her. Something along the lines of "She does that on purpose, you know."
She turned to the source of the voice. "We can hear you, you know. Why don't you come on out, Watanuki."
'Watanuki' squeaked, but he did come out. In an apron. It took all I had not to laugh at him.
The woman turned to me. "Since you have managed to come into my store, you must have a wish."
"A wish?" I was puzzled. Wishes aren't real… they don't come true. Even IF you know where a particular singing cricket lives.
She nodded. "This shop grants wishes. Whatever you desire most, I will grant it. But, I require a payment."
"A payment? Like Munny?"
"It could be…" she said, vaguely. "What is your wish?"
"Well, I… I don't know." I thought about it. What do I want more than anything in the world… "I want a heart."
Watanuki, or Apron Boy, looked startled. "A heart?"
I nodded.
"I see," the woman started. "You are a Nobody."
I thought this world didn't have--"
She smiled at me, "it doesn't."
"How much… how much would it cost?"
She shook her head, "I'm afraid it's almost too much."
"Tell me!" I demanded.
"You would lose your identity. Who you are, is the price."
"Who I am?"
"Yes. If you wanted a heart, you would have to merge with your Other."
"My Other? Who is my Other?"
"I'm not allowed to tell you that," she said, calmly.
I sighed. No one is.
"Can I… agree to everything... But pay the price and get my wish granted later?"
"Of course," the woman nodded.
"Alright, I'll do that, then." I got up to leave.
"Pleasure doing business with you." She waved me goodbye.
Demyx was still waiting for me outside. I beckoned to him, to come and meet me, but he didn't seem to see me. Until I walked out of the gate, that is.
"WOAH, RoxBox! You just appeared out of NOWHERE, man!"
"Dude, I was right there."
"Whatever, let's just go home."
I sighed. "Yeah, ok."

L84: Guh. I finished that chapter in an hour. Coulda done it WAY earlier.
Watanuki: You're damn right you could!
L84: xxxHOLiC and Kingdom Hearts… xxxHOLiC is just MADE for crossovers, man. Not even funny.
Watanuki: And Tsubasa, don't forget Tsubasa.
L84: Ah, yes, of course. I've been sick, that's mostly why I haven't updated. Still sick, in fact.
Harold: Thank you for your continuing support.
L84: We sound like a charity when you say that.
Harold: Aren't we?
L84: Not really, no.
