It all started with a fourteen year old boy wielding the Keyblade, then it all evolved into an adventure.

He fought against Ansem the seeker of darkness, he took on his memories inside of castle oblivion, he even destroyed Organization XIII...

Yes it is true that Sora took on various members of the Organization...

Just receiving a letter from the king, Kairi thought the two boy's Riku, and Sora should rest before even thinking about taking on another adventure. They both agreed to take a few months rest to catch up with their family, and friends on the island.

Three years passed of the boy's vacation and "The World That Never Was" became "Moonlit City."

People from Twilight Town migrated through Betwixt and Between in order to get to the new city. The moonlight provided all the light they needed, in a way it soothed them.

But one day... it rained, it hadn't rained in the town for three years, but why now, why today?

The Report: Part One of Seven

The door to darkness rests in the halls of Oblivion

But what lyes beyond the door?

Could it be a new enemy?

Or a friend?

Once the door is opened, there is no turning back

This is why I plan on going in there myself

I will say goodbye to the light, and take my first steps into the one true darkness

I can feel my strength rising as the light escapes from my heart

The shadows have become one with me

But as I stand in this new world what is my destiny?

Was I meant to discover it?

Was I meant to become one with it?

If so, why?

I want to find the path to darkness and become darkness itself

But the only way to accomplish my task is to find the true Darkness

But where does it lye?

Is it a Shadow, a Dusk, or an Anti?

The five friends stood together at the top of the large skyscraper. One had platinum blonde hair with red streaks running down the sides. He wore a silver jacket with a pair of black pants along with a pair of gray shoes. He was about fourteen, and his name was Takumi. There was a girl with blonde hair with her hair tied into two ponytails. She wore a white T-shirt with a blue jeans miniskirt. Her name was Roxanne and she was also fourteen. The girl next to her had silver hair and was about fourteen also. She had blue eyes, and wore a pink no sleeve shirt with a black silk skirt, her name was Yumi. There was a boy with black hair with yellow streaks running down the center of his head. He was wearing a silver jacket, with a black shirt, and light blue jeans pants. He was exactly fifteen his name was Kazuma. Finally the last boy, brown hair white jacket with a hood, along with a pair of black pants unnoticed sat looking out at the Moonlit sky he was fifteen years old, but also the most mysterious among the five.

"Hey guys," the boy called his brown silk type hair blew in the wind, "how long do you think we're going to stay together like this?"

All of the friends were now staring out at the Moonlit, thinking about this question.

"Well, we've all got to grow apart sometimes," Takumi blurted out breaking the silence.

Yumi slapped him across the face, leaving a bright red mark, "how could you say something like that?"

"Yumi, we've all got to grow apart sometimes. Nobody will ever be together forever, love isn't even eternal," Roxanne said as she rubbed the mark on Takumi's face.

"Do you think we'll ever be separated?" the boy asked.

"Well, even if we did most likely we'd all find each other again," Kazuma said. The five friends agreed.

"You know what," the boy said turning away from the Moonlit sky, "I think your right." He walked towards the edge of the building and hung on to the rail. "Let's make a promise, if we ever get separated, no matter what it takes we'll find each other again." All five of them nodded there heads. A slight breeze blew across the sky.

"Anyways let's head home," Takumi said, "the first day of summer is tomorrow, and I don't wan to eat into my fun time."

Takumi opened the door to the staircase that led down to the first floor. "Hey, you coming?" asked Kazuma.

"In a minute!" he called back still staring out into the Moonlit sky. I promise before I leave this place, I will get a kiss from her. He turned around and walked towards the door of the staircase. It was locked. "What the..." He pushed agaist it as hard as he could. "What the..."

A cold shivering feeling ran up his spine, and the boy froze in his tracks. He turned around and looked up at the cloudy sky, a drop of cold watter splattered on his nose, and then another, then another. It was raining.

"What are the chances?" the boy asked himself. He wrapped his arms around himself to try and warm himself, but it wasn't working well. He sat back on the edge of the skyscraper and continued to stare out into the sky. The moon seemed strange, it was a greenish color, and it was glowing brighter than before.

He reached his hand out towards the moonlight and acted as if he were about to touch it, but he knew he couldn't. But as if he were being pulled by a strange unseen force, his butt shifted forwards and he fell face first over the building.

He felt a strange sensation as his body slowly drifted into the sky, limp and lifeless, like a rag doll. There was no sound; nothing. The moon shone below him, and he saw the ground gradually sinking away into the distance. What's happening, he thought, looking around.

He saw his arms and legs dangling off his body like mere strings as his chest was heaved upwards, as if being pulled up by a claw.

He heard whispers of people, he looked up as if he were meant to, and stared out into these strange streets. It was sunset, or was it the rising Twilight. Twilight Town?

He could feel the wind whipping away at his body. Somehow though, he was falling upwards. He shook his head in disbelief.

The town began to disappear from view, and as he looked forwards, he saw a dark night sky. Cold filled his lungs as he entered what appeared to be water. The water separated and exploded outwards as the boy fell in, but surprisingly, he could breathe, and he didn't feel wet. His foot touched solid ground that he thought was water. What is this place…?

He was standing on what appeared to be nothing, after he scanned the area he walked about two steps not sensing danger. Suddenly, billions of white birds which had never been seen in his world rose from the solid object revealing a bright light, which showed a perfect picture of a crown under his feet.

"Huh?" he gasped for he recognized the black crown. He reached deep into his white shirt and drew out a black crown pendant hanging around his neck by a chain. He gripped it in his pale hand tightly.

The boy stepped forwards, tucking his pendant back into his shirt.

Then breaking the silence, was a voice. A man's voice, he turned around to see a man in a black raincoat approaching him. His face was shaded by the hood he was wearing. "So child, his invention was able to turn the moon into a temporary Betwixt and Between, well the only problem now is, how do I plan to send you back because I can't find the original Betwixt and Between."

"Who are you?" the boy asked as a scowl started to form on his face.

"What? Not even a simple hello? Why I never," man said as he put his hand under his chin.

"Fine, hello. Now who are you, and where am I?" the boy asked as his scowl faded away. This man actually put a smile on his face, although he didn't know why.

"Oh I make you laugh do I?" the man said as his voice got more serious. "Well how about this?"

The man snapped his fingers and a white creature appeared in front of him. On its face its eyes, and mouth were replaced by a cross that went across it's face.

"What?" the boy yelled startled.

"Yes, do I make you laugh now?" the man asked. The boy slowly nodded his head no. "Good."

"Wh- why am I here?" the boy asked struggling to find words.

"You were brought here for a reason that I don't know, but his machine was only to transport you to Twilight Town so you wouldn't be protected by the Superior, for some reason he likes you. But what with him out of the way I will be able to dispose of you with ease.

A white light flashed in the man's hand, and then a large blue guitar appeared in his hands. He moved his hands about it making sure it was in tune.

"So," the boy chuckled, "you wish to dispose of me with that powerful guitar of yours?" The boy could hold his laughter in no longer. He rolled out on the ground, and burst out laughing. He clutched his gut as if he were concealing it from bursting.

"Hey, quit laughing!" the man said. The boy continued rolling about, his ears were burning red, and his mouth was starting to ache. "If you liked that..." the man played a few light chords, "you'll love this. Dance water, Dance!" Strange blue creatures that seemed just like the man in the raincoat revolved around the boy. They all played the guitar, but they didn't seem to have as much physical activity as he did.

"No way!" the boy yelled backing away from the man and the other water type creatures. The white creature that was unnoticed before started to move itself, in a dancing like way.

The boy gripped his pendant, but the man gave off a laugh. "What, your gonna destroy my water clones with a worthless piece of... That's the crown!"

The boy looked down at his pendant and gripped it harder. Please, if your going to do anything. Give me strength. That's the crown that boy was wearing, now what's his name? Oh yeah, Roxas."

"Roxas?" the boy asked in a confused voice. "What did he do?"

"He almost destoyed me, but I don't know about the rest of the gang. All I know so far is that the Superior and I survived," the man said as the water clones got closer to the boy, he continued to back away. "Was it you?" the man asked as he pointed towards the boy.

"No, I don't remember that at all," the boy said. "Wait, you wouldn't tell the truth about something like that would you?"

"What?" the boy asked.

"Get him!" the man shouted. The water clones chased after the boy. The white creature hid among them. They all surrounded him making it impossible for him to escape.

"Why are you doing this?" the boy asked. The man didn't answer. All of the clones grabbed him, he was losing air. He couldn't move, everything was going darker then it usually was. He shut his eyes getting ready to give up, but just that very moment a flash of white light shown down from above. The boy was now standing in a tattered room, with the books tossed everywhere. The staircase was broken down, and there was a picture torn down out of the frame.

A man in a white leather raincoat approached the boy and stood in front of him.

"Are you okay?" he asked. The boy did nothing, but nod his head up and down. "Here take this." The man held out his hand revealing a strange object. It had a black handle, and shaft. The blade, hand guard, and key chain hanging over the edge of it was white.

"What is that?" the boy asked as he found his words.

"A Keyblade," the man faded away and the boy returned to the darkness.

"H-how did you do that?" the man in the black coat asked.

"Do what," the boy asked holding his hands upwards.

The man jumped backwards and covered his face with his sleeve. "Where did you get that Keyblade?"

The boy looked down, and saw that what he had just seen wasn't a dream. He looked around him to see that the water clone, and the white creature were all gone.

"Demyx!" a voice shouted from nowhere. A portal of darkness opened in front of him, and another man in a black coat stepped out.

"Oh no!" Demyx disappeared into his own portal of darkness.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he gets the topmost punishment for his crime, are you okay?"

"What's going on?" the boy asked. The man said nothing and looked and stepped into another portal of darkness.

"Where am I?" the boy asked himself as he plopped to the ground. He closed his eyes and thought to himself, What's going on? Will I ever get back to Moonlit? Will I ever see her again?

The boy opened his eyes reveal himself on a brighter platform. He stood up, and looked around. There was a picture of a heart shaped moon, the boy gripped his Keyblade in his hand and scanned the area. Nobody was there, but a strange floating picture of his city with a strange black spear hovering over it. He walked towards the picture and sat down and began to think about the men in the black, and white coats. Exactly who's side are they on, who was good, and who was bad? Should I side with any of them?

The boy held up his Keyblade and aimed it towards the floating picture. A bright light caused him to close his eyes, he covered his face and looked away.

When he reopened his eyes he saw he was back in Moonlit City, but there was a strange castle that went up past the hill of the skyscraper.

"What's that?" he asked himself, not really expecting an answer. He started walking towards it, Keyblade in hand.

"Hey, when did you get down?" a voice asked from behind him.

The boy whipped his head around, seeing he was talking to Kazuma he smiled.

"Finally, I've been lost in my own imagination," the boy said laughing in front of his friend.

Kazuma smiled, and caught a glance at the boy's Keyblade. "What's that?"

The boy stared down in confusion. If that was a dream, why do I still have this thing? "It's... it's... I don't know what it is, but the only think I know is that the white crown matches the pendant I wear around my neck." He pulled out his chain, and held up the end of the Keyblade. Both of the crowns looked identical.

Suddenly the two crowns started glowing with power. The light of the two crowns shot up into the air, and beamed into the moon. It started glowing glowing light blue, but it started to fade, fade into the darkness.

"What just happened," Kazuma asked staring at the spot the moon once was. Soon a strange dark figure started forming, right where the moon had been. "What did you do?" Kazuma asked.

"I... I don't know," the boy replied. Thunder rattled causing the boy to jump. He turned around to see the thunder had been coming from the castle.

"That castle? It wasn't thee before," Kazuma said.

The boy scratched his head and raised an eyebrow, "that's been there since I came from the skyscraper, why are you just noticing it?"

"No, when the moon disappeared that's when the castle fist appeared," Kazuma replied. Why is just able to see the castle? Is he just playing around?

"What's that?" the boy asked startled by swift movement beside a building. It was something black, something very strange, something he'd never seen before. He followed it acting as if Kazuma wasn't there. He chased it, legs pounding, heart thrashing. He heard footsteps not far behind him, they must've been Kazuma's, but he wouldn't let him slow him down.

The boy chased this strange shape into an ally, with his Keyblade still in hand. The monster had yellow eyes, had two antennas with claws. "What, are you?"

The boy backed away, but notced something hiding behind the dumpster. In the darkness her silver hair showed, blowing in the wind with light drops of rain pelting all over her. Her hair blew slightly in the wind causing the boy to stop his thinking. The world just stopped, hatred built up inside of him, as he rose the Keyblade in both hands.

"Y-Yumi," he said as he wiped the rain from his face. "Don't worry."

The creature jumped towards Yumi with it's arms raised high.

"Yumi!" a shout came from behind him. It was Kazuma holding a sword in his hand. The silver and gold blade shined without held of the moon. His blade cut through the creature like a knife to a cake. It disappeared without a trace. "Are you just going to stand there?" The monster appeared behind Kazuma and sent it's claw blasting through his chest.

"No!" I shouted charging towards the monster. I jumped high into the air with my Keyblade above my head. I slashed the creature, and then again, I continued to slash at it multiple times until I was sure the monster was gone. "You took my best friend you bastard." The rain picked up the pace, and pelted against my white jacket. I knelled and stuck my Keyblade into the ground. I started to cry, until I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Are you okay?" Yumi asked me.

"Of course, I'll find a way to bring him back. I know there's a way." The boy stood up, and looked towards Yumi, a dark scowl on his face. He raised his Keyblade once again, and said, "he wanted to protect you, he wanted to protect both of us, and I won't let him die in vain. C'mon Yumi, I know for a fact that monster was from that castle."

She didn't know what to say, she was so startled, he'd never acted this brave before. "Okay, lets go."

The two ran out of the ally, and towards the hill where the castle sat. A small sliver of the moon still showed through the dark cloud which it hid behnd now, but it was fading quickly.

He looked up at the castle, and said to Yumi, "The Castle That Never was... that never was supposed to be. But, I'd never been here before, so how do I know what it is?"

She looked at the boy, and said, "maybe you've been here in a past life or something, maybe." The boy nodded, and walked up the hill with Yumi alongside him.

The dark cloud, now completely shaded the moon in complete darkness. As the two walked up the hill, questions ran through there heads, what will be inside the castle? Who will be waiting for us, and why is the castle just showing itself. Had it always been there, and us humans are just coming to notice it? So many questions, not a single answer. As they reached the door Yumi grabbed the boy's hand.

"Do you think, Kazuma's heart will be with us?" she asked.

"Kazuma's heart--- will always be us," he said ah he wrapped his arms around her, she did the same to him, and a wave of confidence ran through the two young teenagers. The two smiled as they drew away from each other, and opened the castle doors, a flash of light welcomed them in giving them both warmth. They walked inside to see a large room of pearly white, with a large door just on the other side. The platform they stood on seemed as though it was made of stone blocks.

"C'mon let's go," the boy said walking towards the other side of the platform. The girl smiled and followed him.

The two walked to the door on the other side, with excitement running through the both of them.

Prologue: The Castle That Never Was

"Well, well look who's here," a voice rang from all around. His ear drums rattled as the key chain in his hand jingled a soft tune.

"Who's there?" he asked.

"Damn you kid I know you know who I am! You made fun of my sitar remember?"

Ryan, and Yumi looked around hearing a voice, but not seeing who it belonged to. From the other side of the room, the large door opened revealing a man with a black coat.

"Demyx?" Ryan asked.

"Bingo kid," the man said. He pulled off his hood revealing his blonde hair, and blue eyes. He immedeatly drew his Sitar, and stared at Ryan as if Yumi wasn't even there. He gave the boy an evil grin, and rushed his fingers through the strings of the instrument. "Dance water, Dance!"

Water clones raced around the two, but not one of them were aiming for Ryan, they were all pointing towards Yumi.

"No!" he yelled jumping in front of her summoning his Keyblade with the black shaft shined in the light. Three of the water clones jumped towads Yumi, but he jumped in the air slashing them uncontrollably. He whacked them back trying to protect Yumi, but with each blow he felt his arms getting heavier, and heavier. He knew he couldn't keep this up for much longer. Ryan's legs were getting tired, but he knew he couldn't give up. My leg's, my arms, I can't do this any longer. He fell on his butt, and his eyes were getting heavy. I've gotta protect Yumi.

"Ryan stop fighting," Yumi said leaning over hugging he, but he didn't have any strength to hug her back. "I'll protect you now."

The water clones rotated around the two, all attacking her, but she wouldn't budge. Ryan wanted to help her, but even if he could she gripped him to tightly.

The Keyblade in his hand started glowing with power, the boy found energy somewhere in his heart.

Two words escaped his mouth in a soft whisper, "my turn." He wrapped his arms around Yumi, the girl of his dreams. "I will always be there for you Yumi, starting now."

The two let go of each other, and held his Keyblade high. The water clones were still multiplying, but he knew how to stop them. He held the tip of the blade, and the , handle tightly. He closed his eyes and listened to his surroundings. He heard the Sitar playing smoke on the water. He turned left, and charged through the army of water clones. He finally opened his eyes and found himself standing in front of Demyx himself, not a water clone.

"Your going down," he said as he threw his arm out smashing his sitar.

"What!" Demyx yelled jumping backwards.

Ryan jumped towards him again with the Keyblade smashing the tip of the sitar, but Demyx wasn't giving up that easily. He held the sitar as if it were a baseball bat, he swung it towards him, knocking Ryan back about twenty feet.

"Water!" he yelled raising his hand into the air. Giant water droplets crashed down on Ryan making it harder for him to get up. He turned around to see the water clones had lowered sharply in number, but they were all grouped around in a bunch.

"Yumi!" he yelled running towards the group slashing the monsters trying to get to her, but one of the monsters were unlike all the others, one was a giant ball. It formed a barrier around Yumi, but she held her breath. There was no telling how long she could stay like that. "Demyx you bastard let her go!" He charged towards Demyx with his Keyblade, there was anger in his eyes, and slashed him repeatedly with his Keyblade.

"Well! Demyx yelled breaking from the array of blows. He rose into the air with a hydro pump, "like it?" He rushed over Demyx blasting water all over him. It was to hard for him to see, but then he thought, what about Yumi!

He jumped up knocking him off the pump.

He aimed his blade at the sitar and ran his blade through it, "Gah!" He yelled. His blade ran through his arm, another scream of pain escaped his mouth.

"Your better then I expected, but what am I to say I'm not much of a fighter anyways, but he is." Demyx started to fade away, a dark aura surrounded him. "Well kid, this is the end for me, but more lie ahead of you."

"D-Demyx?" the boy said with a tear forming in his eye.

"I don't understand, why are you starting to cry, I almost killed you," he asked with a confused look across his face.

"To me, I don't think anybody should die this way... I'm sorry Demyx, I was only trying to protect, Yumi," Demyx placed one of his fading fingers on Ryan's mouth.

"It's okay, love right? That's a feeling I lost a long time ago, but don't waste your energy crying, because soon you will see nothing you see here is will be." Demyx completely faded away, nothing left behind except the memory.

Ryan clipped his key chain on his belt, and turned around to see the barrier around Yumi disappeared. He smiled and ran towards her.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, thanks you know for saving me," she replied. The two walked across the platform to get into the next room, but Yumi stopped in front of the door.

"I don't think we should go in, it just doesn't feel right," she said crossing her arms.

"C'mon, I've helped you before from helping you now?" she still shook her head no.

"It just doesn't feel right, I think we should leave," she turned away, and got ready to leave.

Ryan looked at the door, but turned around to leave with her," okay, I'm with you." The two left the castle to find that Moonlit city was covered in a giant purple cloud.

"What's going on?" Yumi asked startled. That started to form when my key chain, and pendant showed a light unto the moon.

"C'mon, let's go check this out," Ryan said. The two walked down the hill and tried their best to make out what this strange substance was.

"This world has been connected," a voice called out of the darkness, "tied to the darkness."

"Hello?" the two called.

"Soon to be completely eclipsed," the voice called again, "one who knows nothing understands nothing."

"What are you talking about?" Ryan asked.

"You understand so little, there is still much to learn," the man said. Something jerked through Ryan's chest, he felt his body losing energy like never before. Something was squeezing sending pain through his whole body.

"Y-Yumi h-help me please," Ryan's eyes started to water, "Yumi?"

"She's abandoned you, soon everybody will, but once you've turned to the darkness, nothing will abandon you," the voice said. A man hidden in the darkness reached his hand on Ryan's shoulder. "Turn over your heart to the darkness."

The clutching of Ryan's heart grew tighter, and tighter. "Please make the pain go away."

"Don't tell me... tell her," the man in the coat said. He turned around to see the thing gripping his heart was actually Yumi, her eyes gave off a zombie like look. "Will you turn to the darkness now?"

Ryan looked back at the man in the coat, "y-y- no."

"Very well then," he started to walk away, "kill him." The hand clutched down on his heart, everything was going black, and he was getting cold. Then...

Chapter 1

I fell to my knees, helpless, and tired. I felt my heart being ripped from my body, and I could do nothing about it.

"Please... Yumi no," I said faintly. I fell to the cold ground face first."Wh-why?"

I wanted to jerk away, but that would only add to the pain, and death would come faster. Yumi wouldn't do that to me, it can't be Yumi, I thought to myself reaching for my belt. The gripping got tighter and tighter as I reached for my savior, the key chain.

"I know we're good, friends," I coughed and coughed as I continued reaching for the key chain, but I was about to give it.

The pain grew until finally I reached my belt. I summoned my Keyblade, and it as my only hope I reluctantly tried to stab her, but I missed over and over.

"It's no use," the voice said. I realized that the voice was not Yumi's, it sounded like an older woman. "Your heart is strong, as your mind is wise, we need your nobody in order to carry out these plans of ours."

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I won't be telling you that any time soon," she replied, "you see we are not evil, but we aren't good either, we are sort of in between."

"My h-heart," I said as she only gripped tighter and tighter. I lifted my Keyblade and threw it behind my neck. I felt a great relief in my body as my heart was finally let go of. I stood up from the ground and turned around to see the girl gripping my heart had silky blood red hair.

She held her chest, there was blood dripping from her chest. I saw the fog was starting to clear, I expected her to be wearing a black coat, but she was wearing a black skin tight top with a pair of blue denim jeans.

"Not so tough now huh?" I asked rubbing my chest. The pain had suddenly vanished for some reason. "Who or what are you?" I stood up and held my Keyblade up high.

She looked down, and started to cry, "when I was a little girl, I was outside with my parents." She wiped her face with her hands, and continued on with her story, "we were in a field far away from civilization, but then the heartless... the heartless attacked us taking m parents hearts, but I, I was the lucky one. For some reason, the heartless only took half of my heart, the light, the darkness remained letting me see what the trued darkness really was. Now that I know, it's too late to go back now, the darkness gave me happiness, and power."

"No, that's not true happiness, it was," I didn't know what to say.

"What do you know anyways?" she asked as her hand started glowing with light, "why do you bother cooperating with the light, when the darkness will just eat your heart." The light took shape of a sword.

"Why do you people always want to fight?" I asked myself with the Keyblade in both of my hands.

I jumped towards her with my Keyblade high in the air, she quickly dodged the attack, and slashed my lower leg with her blade of pure light. I turned around to hit her, but she disappeared in a flash of white light. I whipped my head around seeing her charge towards me with hatred in her eyes. She delivered a blinding number of slashes towards my knocking me off my feet.

Once my back touched the ground I flipped and landed on my feet, I tried to slash her with my Keyblade, but she blocked the attack. Such great speed. I hit her in the neck, but she didn't show any signs of pain, all she did was laugh a maniac life.

"Can't you see, you'll never win," she said as she chuckled.

"Oh yes I will," I said rising the blade to eye point. I jumped towards her, and swung my Keyblade with all my strength into her gut. Her laughing suddenly stopped as she collapsed to the ground.

"Why couldn't you just leave the darkness alone?" she asked. The world started to look blurry, everything turned to dust, and fell under my feet. Suddenly I was falling into darkness. I couldn't make myself scream, I could hear nothing, but the wind whipping against my body. What is happening to me? I asked myself. Where are all my friends?

Suddenly I came to a stop as I was now standing atop of another pillar. The picture of the silver crown stood still under my feet. My Keyblade was gone, my key chain was gone, and I was all alone.

"Hello?" I called, no answer.

"Do you know why you are hear?" a voice asked me. I felt a hand on my shoulder, I quickly turned around and jolted away.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"There are many questions in the universe, but not all of them must have answers, why must you ask these questions?" he asked.

"I asked you a question, I wish it to be answered please," I said crossing my arms.

"The answer you seek lies withing your sleeping memories, like your mother for instance," he replied.

"Hate to break this to you, but my mom's dead, but there was never a connection between us, even though she died last year we never actually hung out," I said. "She never knew me, and now she never will."

The man chuckled, "don't fall into denile, even though you never knew her you still loved her."

"no," I muttered under my breath.

"Tell me the truth," he said his voice building in rage.

"NO!" I yelled, "LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU, now let me tell you something. I don't love her, I never loved her, and according to these memories I have she didn't love me either, I hated her, and I HATE YOU TOO!"

The man turned away, "such harsh words, but you have another chance."

I looked down, so I would have to listen to him, but something inside me forced me to.

"Your mother is still well and alive, she loved you, and she left to protect you. And for you to be so dark, and hateful, would make her feel sad. You can find your mother, but you'll have to get her yourself. They took her away, and I feel the pain you feel. I pity you, young one. I offer you the chance of vengeance," the hooded man asserted calmly. "The people that took your mothe, are still alive, and there is a way for you to destroy them."

A jolt of happiness, and pain ran through me at the same time, "I just told you, I don't really hold her dear to me, so what's the point of revenge anyways."

"Even after that you still understand nothing, but I think there is still one thing that will attact you attention," I started walking away from the man until he uttered the words, "they are also after Yumi."

I whipped my head around, but the man disappeared.

"Hello?" I asked again.

"Search for the boy, who holds the key, that is when you will receive your answer."

I fell backwards, and closed my eyes. Before I knew it, I was in a deep sleep.

I felt as if I were shaking, but I wasn't scared nor cold.

"Hey, it's time to wake up, go to your house and sleep," the voice filled my head with music, laughter, and memories.

I uttered the name, "Yumi." I felt a warm smile wash across me face as I opened my eyes to see the silver haired beauty kneeling over me. I wanted to lift my head and kiss her, but I knew it wouldn't be right, not now.

"Yes?" she asked me lifting my head up with her nice warm hand.

"I l-," I stopped myself in mid sentence avoiding utter embarrassment in front of her, and the boy who floated above us. His black hair blew in the light wind.

"Hey kid, I'm about ready for bed," he said bending over so our eyes met directly. "I'm so fucking tired."

"Hey don't swear," she said lifting me further off the ground, "it's, it's, barbaric."

"I'm sorry mommy," he said, "would you like some milk and cookies too?" All three of us started laughing. I finally stood to my feet and went to the edge of the skyscraper.

"Why were you sleeping on top of the skyscraper anyways?" she asked. I turned around, and shrugged.

"How long was I out cold?" I asked jokingly.

"Well when we went to Twilight Town we counted about twenty minutes, but the we realized it was getting late so then we just headed back. Kazuma realized you were still missing, so it took us ten minutes to figure out where you were so then since the elevator in the tower was taking to long because somebody pushed all the buttons," she said staring at Kazuma.

"It was a joke," he said smiling.

"All to get up here it took us about thirty minutes since the stairs were being painted, so together that was about, an hour."

"That long eh?" I asked. I actually thought longer. I stretched for a while and headed towards the door, but I turned around be fore opening it. I reached his hand out towards the pearly white moon, but nothing happened.

"What are you doing?" Kazuma asked.

I jumped, I forgot they were still on top of the roof with me, "nothing, nothing at all."

I turned around and opened the door of the skyscraper. All three of up walked down the stairs, me in front, Yumi, and Kazuma right behind me.

"So you guys got any plans tomorrow?" Kazuma asked.

"I'm free," Yumi replied.

"I've got things to do, you know me I'm busy," I said.

"Why do you spend so much time studying? Summer is starting, you need to kick back, and have some adventure," Kazuma said in an annoyed voice.

"I'm sorry guys, but I've got stuff to do, I fell behind in math this year," I said in a reminding voice.

"Oh wow, a B minus, big deal I get b's all the time."

"Well if you would study, you'd be up with Ryan, and I, but you spend so much time doing who knows what," she replied as we got to the elevator. I pushed the button, and looked at the numbers atop of the wall to see it was heading towards the hundredth floor.

"I can't because I'm too busy," he said staring up at the numbers along with me.

"Too busy doing what?" I asked, "thinking about how to get another almost passing grade?"

"Nope, I'm to busy... thinking about you, Yumi," he said. Yumi gasped and stared at him, he eyes glistening even brighter than they do in the sun, or moonlight.

"What?" I asked as the elevator door opened.

"Do you have a problem with that?" he asked. I was speechless, not a single word in my vocabulary could match the pain, and anger that I felt that very instant.

"Really?" she asked as they stepped into the elevator together. I stepped in not very far behind, I pushed my floor number which was fifty-five, Kazuma and Yumi smiled at each other, but I stood behind them leaning up against the elevator wall. I felt a strage lift as the car moved downwards. To my enjoyment Kazuma would be getting off first since he lived on the seventy sixth floor.

Yumi, and Kazuma continued smiling until the elevator reached the seventy sixth floor. Finally, I thought to myself. It was just Yumi, and I in the elevator.

"See you guys tomorrow," he said waving the peace sign in my face. I gave him a high five as he walked out. Just because we like the same girl don't mean we can't be friends.

The elevator door shut behind him. Yumi slid back with me in the elevator.

"So why were you all stunned when Kazuma said he liked me?" she asked. I was starting to panic.

"N-no, n-not at all," I said.

"Then why are you stuttering, and why are you shaking?" she asked.

I started laughing in order to hide my pain, Fine I admit it, I love you, I've loved you since I started having feelings for girls! "It's okay really, I think you two would be happy together.

She placed her palm against my face, she stood in front of me. "Tell me, how would you feel if I kissed him right in front of you tomorrow?" my heart was racing. "Tell me, how would you feel if I kissed you?"

The door opened, my heart slowed down as we stepped into the hallway. I looked out one of the large windows of the skyscraper and saw the moon shining the greenish color it had before.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Yumi," I said taking the keys out of my pocket, but I noticed something else, a black crown. The crown from my dream, but it turned out to be nothing. "I thought?"

"See you tomorrow," Yumi said closing the door behind her.

"Great job Ryan, you let her slip right out of your hands you idiot," I said opening the door. That's when it happened ed, the key chain from earlier wasn't my eyes playing a trick on my, for I was in the hallway holding the Keyblade from my dream.

What the...

I was stunned, I looked around to make sure nobody was looking. My Keyblade glistened in the moonlight. I felt power surge through my body as I waved the Keyblade around in various directions. The elevator door started opening, so I dug into my pocket for my house keys, but the Keyblade replaced where my house keys one were, in my hand.

C'mon go back to house keys please, I begged. A small sparkle of white light and then the only thing in my hand was a pair of of old keys. I looked towards the elevator door. Nobody. I sighed and walked into my house.
