Author's Note: Thank you so much for the reviews and praise and what not. They are, as always, very much appreciated. It was brought to my attention that last chapter, I may not have been fair with the Tifa fight. Upon looking back at it, I realized that Oblivion Sky was absolutely right. Anti-Sora had been a little too OOC last chapter. I do get rather batty sometimes when I'm constructing chapters. Again, thank you for bring that up to my attention. I carefully scanned Chapter 11 for any mistakes.

There is one random part in this chapter. You will know it when you read it. It is actually essential to the plot line and I really, really wanted to kill Hayner. Anti-Sora likes Sea-Salt Ice Cream. Also, I am still trying to get Riku's character down, so bear with me if it seems that he's OOC. Chapter 12 starts in Twilight Town again.

Ha, enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 11

Twilight Town

Anti-Sora:

This was a place where I had never been before, but somehow it felt right. Though I was free, I had no idea on what I should do next. I watched the sunset from the highest point in town, Station Heights. It would be nightfall in a matter of minutes and I had only fed on Mickey's heart earlier. I still needed to eat to keep my strength up. There was the issue of the Organization. They wanted Sora for some odd reason.

Since I was in Sora's body, they would come for me. I was part Heartless and I could definitely smell out a Nobody. The city was blanketed in comforting darkness. I let out a soft sigh.

Time to hunt.

I assumed my natural half-Heartless, half-human form and stretched my limbs gently. My nose picked up the aroma of normal humans, but no Heartless.

Unusual. Heartless were normally everywhere. What made this place so different?

I started walked down to the main street, being careful to stay in the shadows. All of a sudden, a small group of humans ran by. The surprise was enough to make me shrink back in caution. They weren't being pursued by anyone. My stomach growled, reminding me of why I assumed this form in the first place.

I started off behind them, keeping my distance. When they emerged into a populated area, I stayed back and assumed my 'human' form.

Why were these people here?

I walked into the area known as Tram Common.

"Hey, Sora!"

A feminine voice seized my attention. I paused as a girl with brown hair ran up to me. I didn't recognize her at all. Then again, I hadn't been awake long. She was definitely teasing my stomach though.

"Who are you?" I asked softly.

"Don't you remember me? My name's Olette."

Still hadn't heard of you. Her name did sound like some kind of food. Yummy.

"Now I do," I lied.

"Oh good. Maybe you come with me to the Usual Spot. Hayner and Pence went back up there for something."

"Sure."

I followed her back up the way I had come. No one was around in this street and there were plenty of shadows to hide in. The girl with the delicious sounding name was mine. I seized Olette by the waist violently and allowed my nails to lengthen. She opened her mouth to scream, but I quickly silenced it by ripping her tongue out. I tossed the appendage away and proceeded to force her against the wall.

Olette's brown eyes were shimmering with tears, begging me for mercy with their gaze. I took my claws and ran them along her face almost gently. She wasn't going to live. Not with my hunger. Normally, I killed my prey by snapping their neck before I fed on their body. I didn't feel like following my normal routine. I forced Olette down into the shadows and tore into her chest with my claws.

It took fifteen minutes to feast upon her body. I stood up and headed further up the street. There was blood splattered all over my body, but I hardly cared. Food was hardly off my mind. The previous battle had left me drained. Being in Sora's body made wielding the keyblade easy. Weilding two took time and energy.

Hayner and Pence were next on my list. A scream tore my thoughts away from homicide and back down the street. Someone had found Olette's mutilated corpse. I shifted into Heartless form and slinked down the nearest alley. New objective: lay low. Though an alley was far from the comforts of an inn, I couldn't risk walking around with blood on my person. That would rule me out as the killer instantly.

With a sigh, I huddled in the darkest corner and surrounded myself in shadows.

Next Morning:

I was hardly aware that I had fallen asleep in my comforting shadows.

"What is this?"

A voice…and it was too close. I opened my eyes and saw the visage of a caramel colored male. He instantly paled when he saw that I was awake. I slowly sat up, gaze locked on the invading presence.

"Monster!" He screamed and ran out into the street.

I seized the opportunity to switch back to my 'human' form. After all, I was a little cranky when I woke up in the morning. The noise drew three other people—a boy, a girl that looked a lot like a guy and a miniature creature.

"What's wrong, Rai?" The boy asked.

Rai sniffled and pointed in my direction. I folded my arms and smirked.

"I found a monster in there, Seifer! Honestly!"

Seifer looked in the alley and saw me in Sora's skin. I waved and smiled, distantly hoping that my teeth were normal.

"Idiot," The girl said loudly.

"It's just that weird Sora kid," Seifer yelled.

Funny. Sora seemed normal at times.

I guess that was just my opinion. I walked out into the sunlight. Rai and Seifer's eyes followed me every step of the way. They were suspicious of me. Well, I know what I did, but they didn't.

"What's wrong?" I asked as innocently as I could.

"Olette was found dead last night. They haven't found the killer," Seifer said nastily.

"You think I did it?"

They wouldn't be incorrect.

I had taken care of the issue of the blood.

"It's funny how you just show up here."

"I don't think you understand what I do. I travel around in a Gummi Ship and save worlds. Why would I murder Olette?" I snapped.

I wasn't sure what encouraged me to say all of that. It did sound like the truth though.

"I don't think he had anything to do with it," Rai said softly.

"I think he's lying and I don't trust him."

A smile naturally crept across my features. Seifer was asking for a fight. He wasn't going to win against my strength. If it was yesterday…it would have been different. But it wasn't.

"So I'm a liar?" I asked, allowing seriousness to edge into my voice.

"Yes."

"Hey Seifer, cut it out!"

I refused to take my gaze away from the idiot that didn't know better.

"Why should I?" Seifer asked.

He was shoved aside by another boy. My patience was starting to run out with these humans. They were seconds away from being horribly mauled to death.

And why was I bothering with all this interaction?

"Because we know he couldn't have done it. The shopkeepers said that whatever killed Olette was an animal!"

It never fails. I'm such an animal.

Seifer stepped back and folded his arms.

"Fine. I'll let him go."

"Oh, I'm so grateful," I said sarcastically.

Hayner grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the group. I allowed him to lead me back into Tram Commons…to a food stand. Once there, he bought two foreign items that looked like a square on a stick. He handed me one. I stared at it curiously.

"What is this?" I asked.

"Oh. It's Sea-Salt Ice Cream."

Sea-Salt Ice Cream? Interesting.

I raised it to my mouth and licked it tentatively.

Salty…yet sweet. What's strange is that I liked it.

"I like it," I said simply.

"You know, they really do suspect you."

I bit off a little piece of the ice cream.

"I know."

"Why did you do it, Sora?"

I froze.

He knew…but how?

"Do what?" I asked, revealing nothing in my voice.

"King Mickey came by days ago. He told us to not trust you when your eyes are yellow."

Well, that was short lived.

I bit the rest of the ice cream and swallowed it. I firmly grabbed Hayner by the throat and dragged him behind the shop. With my left hand, I pried his mouth open. In his right hand was the popsicle stick…

With great force, I jammed the popsicle stick into the back of his throat. The immediate result was him vomiting…which he proceeded to choke on. I released him and walked towards Station Heights.

Mickey was annoying even in death. But at least the ice cream was good. And hopefully, no one saw that.

The World that Never Was

Normal (third person):

Xemnas, the Superior was standing at his window again. This time he was staring at the moon. Kingdom Hearts was only halfway completed now that the Keybearer had gracefully disappeared from his sight. So had two of his subordinates for that matter. Xaldin and Luxord were dead, killed by some unknown entity.

"Axel," He spoke softly.

"Yes, Superior?"

Xemnas turned so that he could see number eight of the order. Axel stared back at him with a bored expression on his comical face.

"Have you been able to locate Sora?" Xemnas asked.

"He's in Twilight Town. He's a lot different now…"

"Different how?"

"His spirit is much darker. Almost like a Heartless."

"That is interesting. Go to Twilight Town and lead him here. Do not engage him in combat."

"Understood."

Hollow Bastion

Riku:

"I'm here. What's going on, Merlin?"

It was rather unusual for anyone other than DiZ to summon me, since I technically didn't exist. Even he wasn't doing too much of that lately. Something had attracted his attention for days. It definitely wasn't the Organization. Even they had been quiet lately. Someone was, however, picking off their members left and right. Namine told me that with fear in her eyes. Yes, something had gone brilliantly wrong in the natural order. To keep the volume of questions down, I kept my hood over my head.

"Oh my god, Riku, is that you?"

Kairi rushed up to me and gave me a huge hug. I chuckled softly and wonder how in the hell she knew it was me. Other than that, I was glad to see her. But if she was here, where was…

"Where is Sora?" I asked softly.

Everyone in the room seemed to wince at the same time. Kairi backed away and stared at the floor. The room lapsed into uncomfortable silence.

"Where is Sora?" I asked again.

"He's gone," Kairi said softly.

Gone? What in the hell did that mean?

"What do you mean?"

"It started about two weeks ago. Sora came back in town with his friends. He started blacking out and having gaps in his memory. At the same time, this was happening, a human-sized Heartless attacked Yuffie and Leon," Merlin said.

"Human-sized?" I asked.

"Yes. We almost didn't believe Yuffie," Aerth added.

"After that, Sora said he was leaving for the Land of Dragons. He was brought back that night by Donald and Goofy, who claimed that he was the human-sized Heartless. As it turns out, he was. Sora attacked King Mickey and murdered Yuffie and Leon."

"He killed someone?"

I had a hard time swallowing that. Sora could hardly harm anyone out of malice. He rarely got angry either.

"Yeah. We had to bury King Mickey yesterday," Aerth said sadly.

"And Tifa is still bedridden," Kairi added.

"Where is he now?" I asked.

"We don't know. Donald and Goofy set out this morning to find him."

I turned to leave. That was all I needed to know.

"Wait, Riku!"

I stopped to hear Kairi out.

"What?"

"Please…I know the real Sora's alive in there. Bring him back…"
