Chapter 3: Old enemies, new friends

"It…can't be…" Kairi whispered from behind Sora.

"That black cloak…its.." Sora said staring in shock.

"Organization 13!" yelled Riku pointing his keyblade, Way to the Dawn at the figure.

The figure jumped when Riku shouted and hastily turned around to face them. The three watched with mild amusement as the figure looked around for exist, almost in a jerky nervous way.

"I've seen this before…" Sora thought as he tilted his head trying to think. "Just…add…cue..ca-"

Before he could think about it longer, Riku charged at the figure, who in response ran away. Sora and Kairi watched as the two ran around in circles, Riku attack and cloak figure dodge. Kairi watched with concern and called out to Riku, "Hey Riku! It seems that he's holding something!" Sora looked to see what she meant, and sure enough, he was holding something.

"Looks like another member." Sora said watching Riku try and get the figure. Finally the figure stopped a ways off from Riku and held out a hand and cried nervously, "Hey crazy guy with a keyblade! Stop! Hold it up!"

Sora gasped, finally realizing who it was, and grabbed Riku by the arm before he could attack. "Sora! What the hell are you doing!" yelled Riku glaring down at him. Without responding Sora turned at looked at the person.

"Demyx? Is that you?" he asked curiously. Riku blinked a few times and looked over at the person. With some trouble, the figure got his hood down and it was number 9 of the Organization, Demyx. The brunette smiled nervously at them and waved slightly. "Erm…hi?"

As if in unison, Riku and Sora yelled, "Hi?" While Kairi tilted her head to the side completely lost.

"So…let me get this straight," Sora said eyeing Demyx warily. "The Organization is back; you're running away and to concluded this all up, why?" All of them had stopped at a place to sit down and, as Kairi put it, to caught up on events. Demyx blinked up at them from his seat and scratched the back of his neck. "Well you see…," he looked at the motionless figure that was leaning against him and slowly pulled back the hood. "It's about her." Sora stared in amazement as the figure turned out to be the girl from his dreams.

"It's her!" Sora exclaimed happily leaping out of his chair and pointing at her. "See Riku, that's the girl I was telling you about before, the one in my dreams!" Riku, Kairi, and Demyx all stared at Sora and he blushed under their gaze. "Uh…yeah…" he slowly sat back down and mumbled an apology. Riku shook his head and looked over at Demyx.

"So, what's with the girl?"

"Her name is Ash," Demyx answered. "After Sora defeated Xemnas 2 years ago, it seemed that a small fragment of him didn't get destroyed."

After a long pause and nobody interrupted, Demyx continued. "He started to piece himself back in the darkness and finally successed in getting back to his original form. Then he started to bring back all the other members. After a while, he came up with a new way to get Kingdom Hearts again…he found the being that would get us into Kingdom Hearts…and that would be Ash. He's been keeping her in a coma state for a while. But by what Sora just said, she found a way to connect to him."

Sora took in all the information that was given to him and stared at the girl. Riku didn't seem to be convinced.

"And why are you so concerned for the girl? What it's in it for you if you help her?" he asked glaring at the Nobody across from him. Demyx lowered his eyes from Riku's piercing stare and mumbled, "She…she's a friend of mine…" Kairi looked at Demyx and blinked. "Your friend? I thought Nobodies didn't have hearts." Before Demyx could responded a familiar voice spoke out.

"We don't. But that doesn't mean we don't remember what its like to have one…"
