Roxas pressed up agianst the wall. His ears took in the whole conversation that was taking place on the other side of the door. His eyes shifted at the sound of what he was hearing.

"He has closed the door...Ansem is dead."

"The Keyblade...It has more power than I thought. And Kairi?"

"She has returned to the island. But the boy is still out there somewhere."

"Sora?"

"Yes. He is still needed. But it seems that he will need his other half to do so."

"Roxas?"

"Precisely."

Kairi? Sora? Other half? Keyblade?

"Yes. Roxas is the other half of Sora, so therefore, he holds half of Sora's power. We need Sora to have full power if we are to complete and whole agian."

"He is Sora's Nobody? I didn't know that Sora was a Heartless."

"He was once, but his heart proved stronger than we thought."

Heartless? Nobody?

Roxas slowly back away from the door, not believing what he was hearing. He turned around and ran through the cold white halls of Castle Oblivion. Thoughts raced through his head. He had to get out of there. Suddenly, he hit the floor with a thud. He looked up saw Axel. Axel offered a hand to Roxas who accepted.

"Hey, whatcha running from?" Axel asked.

"Nothing. I...I gotta go," Roxas replied hastily, running around Axel. Axel reached out for him and caught him by the wrist. Axel grimaced when he felt Roxas flinch at his touch.

"Kid, what is wrong with you? Did Xemnas say something? Or Demyx? I swear if he hurt you, he'll die!" Axel shouted, his chakrams forming in his hands.

"No its...Its not that."

"Then what is it?" Axel asked, his chakrams disappearing.

"It's nothing!" Roxas broke past Axel and headed downt the hallway.

Axel leaned back agianst the wall and crossed his arms. Something was wrong with his best friend, but what? Had he said something? Was it the Daiquiris? No. That had been about two weeks ago. He sighed. Something was wrong with that kid and he had to find out.

Roxas ran down the corridor and cut left. He wasn't really sure why he was running, but he knew that he had to go. Even if it meant leaving Axel and...and Namine. He skidded to a stop. Namine.

Don't ever let someone tell you that your nobody.

"Namine..."

He shook his head, clearing his thoughts. He continued running down the hall. When he reached the entrance, he stopped and looked down at the ravine that seperated him from the rest of Deep Dive City. Suddenly, a transparent blue pathway appeared. He ran across, never looking back.

Namine stared out the massive windows of the Twilight View. Her eyes shifted from the sky downward where she saw him running. He was breathing hard and sweat shined on his face in the moonlight.

She knew why he was running. He was running away from being somebody.

As he disapeared around the corner, a single tear rolled down her pale cheek and fell to the floor.

He stopped and rested his hand on the stone wall. He had ran all the way through the rainy streets of Deep Dive City and needed to take a breath.

"So you're leaving." Roxas whirled around to see Axel leaning agianst the wall.

"It's my choice, Axel."

"You get on their bad side and they'll destroy you!' he yelled.

"No one would miss me," Roxas replied sullenly.

"That's not true." He watched as Roxas walked away then added, "I would."

Roxas pulled his hood over his head. Tonight brought back memories of the first night that he had come to Deep Dive City. It had rained that night.

Suddenly, something caught his eye. He looked over. Out of the ground, a shadow emerged. Its yellow eyes seemed to stare at his soul. Suddenly a sea of Heartless surrounded him. In a flash of light, Oathkeeper and Oblivion appeared. He slashed at them and hit two.

His gaze lifted as two pink hearts lifted into the air then disappeared to Kingdom Hearts. He blocked as three more charged at him, but he was knocked down. He looked up and saw a someone on top of the skyscraper above him.

He wore an Organization style robe with the hood pulled down and his long, silver hair shined in the moonlight. Roxas couldn't see his eyes because of the black blindfold covering them.

Roxas made his way through the sea of Heartless and up the building. The blindfolded man ran down the other side. Roxas drew back hurtled the Oblivion. The man caught it with ease.

As they passed, Roxas knew that the man was staring at him even with the blindfold on. Once he reached the top of skyscraper, he turned and ran back down. Once at the bottom, he slashed through the Heartless. Then he turned and faced the blindfolded man. Roxas charged at the man and knocked him back with the Oathkeeper.

"Why! Why do you have the Keyblade?" the blindfolded man cried.

"Shut up!" Roxas yelled as he brought down the Keyblade.

With the Oblivion back in his hands, the Keyblades disappeared and he ran and cut down the alleyway, never looking back. It was his choice.

AN: Sorry if this chap. was a little short. But its cool right?
