Chapter 4
---------------R-Y-A-N---------------
I slowly opened my eyes, and turned over. I saw something silver in my face, and it was soft, and silky. I sat up to see that it was Yumi lying in the grass.
I stood to my feet slowly, rubbed my head and asked, "where are we, and how long have we been here?"
I looked around to see he was standing in a forest, he turned around to see an old spooky mansion. In the far left window I saw quick movement, but there was nothing there, but a flapping curtain blowing in the wind.
The warm sun bathed me, it had to be Twilight. Then I thought, Twilight Town? I've never been to this part before.
I stared over at Yumi, and decided not to wake her up. I walked towards the edge of the forest, but came to a complete stop. I can't leave her behind, what if I find Kazuma she'll be excited.
I walked over to her, and shook her a little. She turned around to her other side and stared at me.
"Ryan?" she asked. I shook my head because I knew she was okay. "Oh my god where are we?" she yelled jumping out of her sleeping position.
"It's okay," I replied, "we're in Twilight Town, don't worry." She got up and looked around.
"We have to find Betwixt and Between, it's our only chance at finding Kazuma, and the others," she said running towards the forest.
"Wait!" I yelled. She tripped over a tree branch and looked back.
"What!" she yelled back.
I ran up to her, and helped her up, "you can't go in your current state, you just woke up." She rolled her eyes and looked back at the mansion. She nodded her head yes, and started walking into the forest alongside me.
"What was that?" she asked startled as we walked. She had seen something strange move in the forest, but I suggested it was nothing and we continued to walk. I sure hope we're not lost, I thought to myself. "There it goes again!" she yelled pointing deeper into the forest.
"It's okay, maybe your just dizzy or something," I said as we kept walking. Sh gasped as she looked at the shadow of a tree.
"Okay, I know I saw that move!" she said as she backed away from the shadow.
I laughed a little, and walked towards the shadow, "there is nothing scary about a shadow." I turned around, and stepped into it, but to my horror the shadow was replaced by a small creature with yellow eyes. I stared at it, as I reached for my belt. I unclipped my key chain and summoned my Keyblade. The power rushed through my body giving me more strength. I slashed the creature, and the blade rushed through it like a wet piece of paper towel. It faded, but it didn't seem to be completely gone. A pink heart flowed into the air as if it had been held captive.
"Ahem," she said.
"Fine I'm sorry," I replied as we continued to move deeper into the forest. Ahead of us was a wall, and in the far corner of the wall was a huge crack. "Let's check this out."
We walked through the crack, and on the other side was the town, Twilight Town.
"Well, at least we're not lost anymore," she said placing her hands on her hips, "now let's go find Betwixt and Between."
"Okay," I said placing my key chain back on my belt. We walked towards the town's center where Betwixt and Between should have been. "Where is it?" I asked. "Where's Betwixt and Between!"
"What and Between?" asked a man.
"Betwixt and Between, that's how we get from here to Moonlit city, have you ever been there before?" Yumi asked.
"Confound it you kids, what the hell is Moonlit city, and there is no such thing as a Betwixt and Behind!" the old man was extremely obnoxious.
"What the hell! First of all it's Betwixt and Between, get it right, and second of all if that's the way you treat a girl it's a wonder why your so LOUD, and LONELY!"
The old man put his hand on his chin and thought to himself. "I'm sorry about that kids, it's just that my son passed the other day, and I haven't really been taking it well. "
"It's okay," Yumi said. "But anyways is it true you've never seen Betwixt and Between?" Yumi asked.
"I'm sorry, but I've lived in Twilight Tow all my life, and not once have I stumbled across something called Betwixt and Between," he said.
"That's strange," I said to myself. "It's like we've been going to the wrong Twilight Town or something because I remember this place like the back of my hand," I said.
"Yeah, Kazuma and I just came passing through this very street yesterday," Yumi said.

The party was right after the ceremony, and all of us were having a great time. King Mickey was even enjoying himself.
"This would be great to tell Sora about," Goofy suggested. Donald, and King Mickey looked at him.
"That is an excellent idea Goofy, let's bring Max and Huey to Destiny Islands and show him the new commanders, how bout it guys?" Mickey said as he walked towards the door.
"I'm in," Donald said.
"We get to see Sora again! Alright hyuk ," Goofy cheered.
"I remember Sora," Huey said.
"Who's that?" Max asked with a confused look on his face.
"Sora, is the Keyblade Master, and our best friend, you two are a lot alike," Goofy said running out the door.
"Yeah, I can't wait to see him again!" Huey said chasing after Uncle Donald, and Goofy.
Max gave chase, and followed them all to the Gummi Ship Hanger.
"Hey Chip, hey Dale!" King Mickey called, "we're ready!"
"Roger your majesty!" chip responded. Suddenly a giant white hand came from the ceiling picking them all up from the ground and lifting them up into the air. The hand brought them to the other side of the hanger where a Gummi Ship was. It was yellow and orange with a couple of blue lasers on the side. They were gently placed into the ship, and the top slowly closed. The door in front of them opened, and the two youngest members were ready.
"Okay guys here we go!" Mickey shouted. The motors fired, and then the door under them opened up. They fell down, and down picking up speed until the reached the vacuum of space. They drifted up into space and and blasted towards their destination.
"To Destiny Islands or bust!" Huey yelled.
"Oh, I hope it's not bust," Max said to himself slouching into his seat.

Sora swam up and down in the ocean thinking to himself, Who are you Ryan?
He closed his eyes, and floated in the vast waters.
"Sora?" asked Kairi as she swam along side him, "what's wrong, you still thinking about Ryan?"
"Yeah, I don't know why, but for some reason I can't get him out of my head," he replied swimming in the opposite direction. The eighteen year old boy continued to swim as Kairi watched him.
"Sora can I try to get this boy out of your head?" she asked.
"No Kairi, I remembered when he mentioned the words "Reverse and Rebirth" he then sent some Nobodies to attack me, but I don't think he was trying to kill me, but trying to protect me," he said.
Sora continued swimming, but was distracted when Kairi started swimming towards shore. He swam towards her and grabbed her hand, "sorry about ignoring you Kairi, but I still remember tomorrow is your birthday."
"Thank you Sora," she said getting onto the island. She ran towards her boat, and started rowing back to her home.
"I still remember that fight," he said looking up towards the sky.
Sora stood still, hands on his knees, breathing crazily. Donald, and Goofy and passed out from fighting the man in the black coat. Riku had left them to go somewhere else in the mysterious castle. The boy stood in front of him with a Keyblade in his hand.
"You do know only those with the purest of hearts can wield a Keyblade?" the boy asked. Sora nodded his head no. "Once light is brought through the worlds the Keyblades will disappear until they are all needed once more.
"My heart is light, and let me take a wild guess, your darkness?" Sora asked the boy as he held up the Keyblade getting some of his energy back.
"Wrong," the boy said dashing towards Sora with his Keyblade raised into the air. Sora blocked the attack, and jumped backwards in order to avoid another attack like that. The boy charged again backing Sora into a corner.
"What's going on?" Sora asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" the boy jumped into the air and attacked Sora from above. Sora fell on his back, and his Keyblade flew to the other side of the room leaving Sora wide open for an attack. "Get him!" White creatures rose from the ground and chased after Sora. He ran in the other direction as fast as he could.
"Was I wrong, was he light, or was he just messing around with my head?" Sora was so confused. He yawned, and then came out of the water to stretch. "It's getting late, I'd better wrap Kairi's gift." He ran towards his boat and rowed towards town.
