Do I need to say that for every chapter? Anyway please enjoy the second chapter!


"Xion...Xion!"

-The first time she met him she knew-

Xion felt light against her eyelids as she opened her eyes to Roxas's worried face. Wow, he can actually look worried, Xion thought mildly. Roxas was weird, she concluded. She sat up. "Roxas? Don't you have work today?" she asked curiously. "What are you doing here?"

-He smirked at her coyly. "So this is the new number? Number XIV. Xion." He looked her over as Xion stiffened. After he was done with his assessment he nodded, and Xion looked at him questioningly. He looked at her with a dull smile. "She won't last long. Let's go Axel." Xion immediately knew that they were never going to get along-

-Everyone here didn't really care much for her. That was expected since no one here had hearts. She wondered why that made her feel strangely empty then. Larxene was her mentor and she took no time in toughing her up. She cringed when she felt the static sting her body and a knife stab her shoulder. Even after all her training it still wasn't enough. She couldn't force herself to ignore the pain. It hurt. Larxene looked over to her with a look of disgust. "Your pathetic." The static stung harsher. Xion couldn't contain her screams when Larxene electrocuted her with her lightening-

-Xion looked at the heartless determined to impress Larxene and the others. 'This is my change to prove myself!' She tried to take down the heartless a figure slashed through them effectively destroying them before she could. He looked back at her and smiled arrogantly. "Your pretty weak you know." Xion said nothing, staring at the place where the heartless have been in disbelief. She had ruined her one chance. Xion stood silent-

"You don't belong here Xion."

-Xion felt the emptiness where her heart should have been get wider. She felt empty. She looked at Roxas's arrogant smile. She couldn't even bring herself to simulate anger. He seemed to have noticed this when he waved a hand in front of her face. "Want to get icing on the cake?" he finally asked-

That was the first time Xion broke down in tears despite not having a heart.

Because she knew he was right.

"Poor Xion," a voice said soothingly. Namine?

"You're having a bad dream. You don't have to remember all this though. I can make it go away," Namine said with a wide smile, the scenery changed and Xion was in a room full of white. Namine looked at her with a smile. "I can make you forget." Xion looked at her uncertainly. "You can do that?" she asked unconsciously taking a step back. Namine nodded. "I can." Xion was hesitant. Namine merely grinned wider. "Are you enjoying the world your in Xion?" Namine asked. Xion looked at her uneasily. "Roxas and Axel found me...I think. I don't know what's going on." Xion said worried. "Don't worry about it Xion. I'm sure they are not there to bring you back. And I'm also sure you'll enjoy this world a lot more." She said. Xion looked around the room. They were filled with drawings. "You'll be waking up soon Xion." Namine said gently, as Xion tore her eyes away from the drawings catching a glimpse of Namine one last time. "You can tell me your answer next time we meet."

Xion reached out to Namine. "Wait! Namine!" But Namine was gone. She collapsed on her knees as she was surrounded by white.

I want to forget!I want to forget! I don't want to go back!

A few tears left Xion's eyes as she felt light against her eyelids one last time. She didn't want to wake up but she slowly felt her eyelids open.


"She's awake!"

Xion eyes opened face to face with a blue haired woman who seemed to be in her twenties. Xion sat up and looked at her curiously, trying to get the spots out of her vision. She rubbed her eyes, to get rid of the sleepiness and the obvious question.

"Who are you?" Xion asked. Aqua smiled. "Oh I'm sorry...my name is Aqua. I put on your bandages. Nice to meet you...uh...," she looked at her expectantly. Xion smiled and extended her hand. "My name is Xion." Aqua shook her hand. "Xion...nice to meet you."

She looked down to the bandages on her body, they weren't as bad as before since they healed with the last potion she drank. She wondered if she had any more potions left. She looked around the room. She was on a bed different from the organization. It was soft, and the covers were a colorful orange and red. She looked around the room. It was different too. It had a window with orange colors, a wardrobe, a mirror, a closet and was a light peach color. She wondered how they would have allowed this. She obviously wasn't at HQ. "Where am I?"

"You're in Traverse Town." "Traverse?!" Xion had never been in Traverse town before but she got the vague idea that this wasn't it. "Well I guess Traverse is a odd name...even for Cicus. Are you not from around here? Where are you from?" Aqua asked gently trying to calm the girl down. Xion took a deep breath. She was safe. They didn't catch her. When she didn't answer, Aqua continued talking. "Right now you in Ventus's room, he was a friend of mine that used to live here... This is my house, it's pretty close to Lea's and Roxas's. Speaking of which, they are worried about you." Xion flinched back and summoned her keyblade. "They brought me here?!"

Aqua looked startled but then tried to calm Xion down. "Listen I don't know what's going on but-"

"I healed your injuries."

Xion turned to find Roxas leaning against the door frame, arms crossed. He stepped forward. "How are you feeling?" Roxas stepped closer to her and Xion stood up and raised her weapon. Roxas had his arms spread. "It's okay. I'm not gonna hurt you." Xion snorted. "Like I haven't heard that one before."

Aqua stared at Xion in awe. "Amazing...," Aqua said looking at her key with gleam. "She could be a real descendant of... but that's impossible that'd be way too much of a coincidence...".

"What is it Aqua?" Roxas asked her, looking away from Xion. "She could be like Ven!" Aqua said in panic. Xion looked over to her concerned. This woman had been kind to her. Roxas turned to Xion shocked then turned to console Aqua. "I thought so too. But that'd be too..." Too crazy...

"Besides...her weapon came out of thin air." Roxas pointed at her key. Xion slightly lowered it but kept her guard up as Aqua's breathing became panicked. "But..."

Roxas walked toward Xion. "Hey, put your weapon down," Roxas said trying to pry it out of her hands. Xion did not relent. "Let go!" Xion screamed out in panic refusing to let it go. "Put down your weapon!" Roxas demanded. Xion tried to raise it at him but he was too strong it stayed in place between them, like tug-a-war. His eyes narrowed at her. "I said to let it go," he said louder tugging on it harder. Xion's grip only tightened as she tried to pull it away from Roxas. Roxas was suddenly behind her, holding her arms down, wrapping his arm around her waist tightly. She felt pure fear for her life as she attempted to stop moving. She was shaking, his arm was sure to leave a bruise as it only tightened more securely around her waist and arms preventing her use of weapon, hurting her. But that wasn't the thing that startled her the most. It was the cool metal pressed against her head. She didn't see when he drew the gun. She didn't see it on him at all.

His blue eyes were fixed on her as his voice lowered to order her quietly. "Drop the weapon."

He is serious.

Xion dropped her keyblade, it disappeared. Xion trembled in his arms. He was holding her up with ease as he towered over her. He was taller than when she last saw him, she realized. Stronger, she thought in fear reminded that he was holding her up. He was different than the last time she saw him. Colder, she thought as she looked into his cold eyes.

He is really going to kill me.

With heartless it was different. She was used to heartless and she never really thought about dying. When she was being tormented at least she knew she would live.

She expected to almost die by torture to have at least some chance at escape. Not to be shot immediately. Roxas was never the one to do these things, but here he was pointing a gun at her head ready to end her life. Xion stood silent in shock as he pressed the gun harsher against her temple.

I don't want to die.

She closed her eyes awaiting the gunshot.

It never came.

"If you take out that key thing of yours and put it against someone again, I'll kill you," he said lowering his gun and lowering her down. He let go of her and jumped off the bed in one step towards Aqua and Xion collapsed shakily still in shock. He kneeled down beside Aqua, rubbing comforting circles on her back in hopes to calm her down. "Aqua are you okay?" Roxas asked worriedly. She had stopped shaking and her breathing returned to normal. She smiled at Roxas and ruffled his hair. He looked at her with a childlike expression. "I'm fine, Roxas. Don't worry...but...," she looked over to Xion who was still shaking. "I think you might have scared her." Roxas sighed. "Your a good kid, Roxas," Aqua said in a motherly tone. "But I think you may have gone too far this time."

Roxas stood up and helped Aqua up. He was about to take a step toward Xion but Lea rested a hand on his shoulder stopping him. "I think that's enough for today partner. Give her some time," Lea said leading them out of the room. Roxas took once last glance at Xion, as she looked out the window to avoid their gaze. A small tear seemed to slid down her cheek.

She was crying, he realized before they left the room.

...and she was sick of it.

The tears didn't stop flowing from her eyes. She soon found herself sobbing. How could she break down now? She didn't want to cry in front of them! Yet the tears didn't stop. It was like the events that had transpired had finally taken their toll. All those held in tears during her time in the organization were finally released.

She must have been crying about an hour or so before finally calming down. She felt tired.

Wiping traces of tears she looked to her side and found a small bear. "A teddy bear...," she held it close to her for comfort and soon found herself asleep once more. This time with no dreams.

And then she felt free.

*Sighs* so many ideas...

DON'T EVER POINT A WEAPON AT SOMEONE YOU WILL GET ARRESTED!

I don't know where to rate this T or M for violence and gore... what do you guys think?

Idk I felt like publishing this story.

Love it? Hate it?

Maybe I should give up on writing romance and settle for hints. Romance doesn't really work for me as a main plot XD I always have to include action, internal struggles etc...guess when I choose the genre, 'romance isn't a good category for me since I never center around it, it's always a subplot for me. Oh well, hints are good :)

I'm thinking about revising chapter 2 and 3 of my other story 'Met You There', so keep an eye out for those of you who like that. They probably won't be major changes though. Just re-phrasing to make everything less awkward to read.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed~ Feedback is appreciated. Sorry if I sound different than I usually do. (I'm talking a lot XD) this was the mood I was in when writing this, so if anything is off it was because of that. That's probably why I typed a lot more than usual. It's cuz I'm in my talkative-writing-brainstorming-mode.

Anyway see you in the next chapter!
