Chapter Three: Keybladers

Twilight Station

It would be nice if we could put away and throw out

Riku was waiting for his train patiently as he appeared to be in deep thought while he was thinking about the falling star he spotted while walking towards the station. He noticed that the train was coming, but suddenly everything around him stops. He notices a figure that appeared feminine wearing on the Organization XIII robes with a crimson scarf wrapped around the figure's neck.

Everything except what really mattered, but reality is just cruel.

"Who are you?" asked Riku as his keyblade appeared in his hand when it was called by it's master while the figure just chuckled.

"I never thought I met the one who witness the rebirth of Kingdom Hearts as a child… tell me… did it bring you any pleasure the problems you put us through finding that one child?" The female asked calmly with a tinge of anger in her voice.

In such times, I see you laughing whenever I close my eyes.

Riku chuckled a bit and commented, "As long as the child is safe, I can careless about your plight in finding the child, Saryx." He watched as the figure removed its hood revealing a woman with tan complexion and golden eyes with ivory white hair that cascaded down her shoulders. Saryx growled in annoyance for a moment and then suggested in a nice, friendly tone, "Maybe you should help me with your services as the keyblade wielder of twilight… we can conquer the worlds together, Riku."

Until the day I reach eternal sleep, that smiling face will have to stay with me without fail.

Riku looked at Saryx with a raised eyebrow while a small smirk adorned his features and answered calmly, "I don't hang around those who try to use the innocent for their personal gain."

"But you are doing the same with the child, Riku… without even knowing it… sending the child to those people who would probably use her or him for their own gain for them to claim for to be in the good of things instead of in the bad."

"It depends on what a person defines as good and bad…" Riku turned his back on Saryx and commented, "I will have no dealings with backstabber and manipulator, so leave my presence at once or I'll remove you from it."

People are all sad, so they go and forget, but--

Saryx spat angrily at the ground he was standing on and vanished in a puff of grayish black smoke only to have time start up again as the train stopped in front of him. Riku sighed to himself and got onto the train that was going towards another world while his keyblade slowly vanished from his hand.

For that which I should love, For that which gives me love, I will do what I can.

"I wonder you look like now, Sakura… hopefully someone is protecting you in my stead… someone like Sora." Riku whispered to himself as he closed his eyes in deep thought. Unknown to him, another star was born in the stead of the fallen one.

Hollow Bastion

Rin and Roxas were standing in front of the castle doors of Hollow Bastion while Rin whispered quietly, "I don't like this place, Roxas." Roxas looked over at Rin and shrugged his shoulders at her while Rin just growled at him.

"This isn't a game, Roxas." Rin warned him as she waved her finger at him as if scorning him.

Back then, when we met, it was all awkward.

"I know it isn't a game, but I want to know what we are going against here anyway." Roxas commented while Rin just sighed.

"Heartless…" Rin answered calmly while looking up at the inky black sky. "Those without hearts… they feed off the darkness in every heart and there is darkness within every heart." Roxas raised a delicate eyebrow in confusion and commented, "You sound like an old teacher-like person just now, Rin." Rin glared at him angrily and stated, "Shut up, shorty."

We went the long way, didn't we? We got hurt, didn't we?

Roxas returned her glare and started walking towards the gates only to be repelled back an invisible force field. Roxas landed on his butt and whined, "Owww! What the hell?" Rin walked up beside him and commented, "I guess we can't go in just yet…" Roxas got up and folded his arms in anger and frustration as he huffed, "Now what?"

"Travel… we might find other keybladers and your friends…" Rin suggested as she noticed Roxas's eyes darted towards the sky and whispered, "Kenji… Sakura…"

Until the day I reach eternal sleep, that smiling face will have to stay with me without fail.

"Why are they so important to you?" asked Rin with her arms folded against her chest while she watches Roxas, waiting for his answer.

"They are my friends…" Roxas commented while he heard Rin chuckle at him and shrugged her shoulders.

"Let's go then… to find them…" Rin commented as she started walking away from Hollow Bastion as Roxas silently follow her.

Back then, when we met, it was all awkward.

Radiant Garden

"So, it was protected by a force field after all." Aerith commented while she appeared thoughtful for only a moment. "I guess you guys will be traveling for a while." Rin and Roxas looked shock and pointed towards each other and shouted in unison, "WITH THIS IDIOT!" Aerith just chuckled a bit and stated wisely, "Well, you guys wouldn't be seen as little kids anymore, but adults able to do anything except certain things."

"You have a sick mind, Aerith." Rin commented while the older woman just chuckled at her and replied, "I've been told that a lot lately."

Twilight Forest

Sakura was walking through the forest with her arms folded against her chest, shaking rapidly because of bitter zephyr surrounding the area around her. She closed her eyes and whispered quietly underneath her breath, words that she barely could hear herself. She heard the cawing of birds while she continues walking the path she was on while she was searching for the missing part of herself.

We went the long way, didn't we? We got there in the end.
