Sketch VI (Acquaintance)
After running away from Axel, Sora and Namine met up with another obstacle. A strange blonde haired boy stood some feet away from them, looking nervously at the two individuals before him. Sora, worried that the boy might be another enemy, stood in front of Namine with his arm out, defining his protective purpose. A frown was dead set on his face, and his brow lowered at his possible foe.
However, the blonde haired didn't seem to be an enemy, for he had asked for their names.
"Who...Who are you?"
Sora blinked, and his face softened to a 'what?' look. He didn't know them? Then he wasn't an enemy! Sora smiled at the thought of a new friend, but took a cautious step forward.
----------
Namine looked the blonde haired boy with wide eyes. She knew who he was. She knew he would be here soon. But why now? She stepped forward, lightly taking Sora's hand.
"Sora...he's not an enemy. He's..." Namine stumbled with her words, and Sora looked at her with worry.
"Hey, it's okay! Since he's not a bad guy, maybe he can help us escape!" Sora turned back to the young boy, who now had a confused look on his face.
"Uh...I don't know what's going here, but...Could you please tell me who you are?" The boy's face suddenly changed to a look of pain, and Sora took note if it.
'Why does he look so sad?'
"I'm...I'm looking for someone. And I'm wondering if--"
"He's back there."
The boy looked surprised, and stared at Namine. Did she really just say that? Was he really here?
"He's really--"
"Back at the mansion. But he might've left already..." Namine didn't finish her sentence, as the boy quickly ran past them in the direction Sora and Namine came from. Sora, having been startled and confused, looked back at the running figure. He could no longer be seen; he had already got to the woods.
"Wait...what? What just happened!" Sora was horribly confused, and Namine had to laugh at the boy's desperate state.
"He was...nobody. C'mon, we have to go, right?" Naminesmilied warmlyat Sora, and Sora grinned back.
"Well, as long as he isn't a threat to us, he's fine. Now, let's go!" Sora, gently taking Namine's hand, started to pull her forward. This time, he made sure Namine could keep up.
She smiled.
'I hope...he finds him...'
----------
He was out of breath by the time he reached the mansion. He slouched, panted heavily. After taking a few seconds to catch his breath, the boy looked up at the mansion.
"He's...here?" The blonde watched the old mansion with intent, hoping for his wish to come true. Taking what the girl he met had said before into consideration, he quickly ran to mansion, ripping the doors open.
'Please be here!'
----------
"Hmph. Silly girl"
Axel had returned to the white room, where he previously encountered Sora and Namine. He'd remembered the decorations on the walls, and decided to take a look at them.
A pained smile spread across his face as Axel glanced at one particular drawing. It was of himself and his best friend.
Roxas.
He flinched when the name crossed his mind, and Axel looked away. Why did she have to draw that? It was quite embarrassing. A quiet laugh escaped his throat, and Axel closed his eyes and faintly grinned. Namine saw their friendship and encased it in art, silly girl.
His smile formed into a frown, and his opened his eyes to wander from Namine's sketches to the white door.
He heard footsteps.
----------
The young blonde found himself among a pile of rubble. The main floor of the mansion was left abandoned so much that it looked almost decayed. It definitely wasn't what he had expected.
"Is he really in a place like this? Kinda hard to imagine..." The boy slowly wandered into the room, heading for the right staircase. He glanced at the glass case housing a crumbling statue of some sort, but he ignored it. He knew he didn't have enough time.
----------
"Burn," he breathed.
----------
He had just reached the top of the staircase when he smelled something peculiar. What was it? He walked slowly down the hall; it was coming from the room on the left. Why was it so familiar?
Fire.

A/N: There, chapter 6! I'm soooooooo sorry it's so short, but finals are in a week, and I have to cram like hell DDD: But I managed to add some Akuroku! 3 And just to let everyone know, there is no such thing as time is this story! 8DDD Kidding; what I mean is that this story is completely different from KH2, but still refers to it (eg, the mansion and TTown's Nobodies). Just thought I should bring that up so no one would say "Hey, that could never happened in the game!" :D
If you want more, REVIEW! It helps me write :33
