In my opinion, this chapter was the most boring to write. I hope it's not horrible to read, though.
Thanks for so many reviews! They make me feel all fuzzy… Ha.
Disclaimer: I don't own. Never will.
Could you guys review for this chapter, too?

Sora slowly stood up after about ten minutes of pulling himself together. So far in his mind, he knew he was in a different time. He wasn't quite sure if it was the future or the past.
He was sure though, that he couldn't get back by just sitting here.
So, he began walking. The town was a bit similar to his own, maybe it was his..? Despite that, he recognized no one.
Sora eventually entered the neighborhoods, still no one able to see him. Had he died in that fall, possibly? That made his stomach knot up.
Walking blindly down the streets, he eventually walked through something. Shivering, he looked up to see a sign. "Destiny Boulevard, Island street." He read aloud, blinking.
Was his house still here? This was near where he lived. Curiosity got the better of him, and he ran towards his old house.
"It's…" He said, as he reached where his house was.
Or where it should've been.
There was a huge lot where his house would've set. A small forest covered the lot.
He stomped on the ground angrily, wishing none of this would've ever happened. Why was it him? Always him with the bad luck.. Hanging his head in defeat, he sat on the curb of the street.
A small voice echoed through his head for a second.
'Check the graveyard'.
He stood up, as if pushed by a force.
He turned his head to the woods, figuring it couldn't hurt to check and see if it was there.
He entered the woods, walking through the trees and brush. Literally.
He eventually came upon a long, gravel path. This is where the alleyway used to be behind his house. Turning his head toward the right, he tried to figure out if he had gone this way to find the graveyard.
"Oh well, if it isn't the right way, I can always go back," He grumbled, running his hand through his hair and walking, staring ahead of him.
Sora figured he'd been walking for about ten minutes, and still had no sign of where the path ended.
He sighed, trying to kick a rock, and of course, his foot went through it.
"I can't do anything anymore," He said.
"Who's there?" He heard a voice say. Sora blinked, then jumped behind a fence, accidentally falling through it, into someone's backyard.
"Well that was smart. Plus, it's not like anyone can see me." He stood up, putting his head through the fence to see who had come across the path.
A tall, silver haired teen walked alongside a small blonde girl. Sora's eyes widened, he was speechless. These people.. Were splitting images of Riku and Namine. Were they Riku and Namine?
The small girl seemed to be carrying flowers of some kind, the boy held nothing.
"How much farther is it again?" The girl said, looking up expectantly at her companion.
The girl sounds just like Namine, too. Sora thought, continuing to stare.
"It's not that much farther, come on. We came here just last week, Namine." The silver headed guy said.
"That is Namine," Sora said, blinking to see if this was real.
"But Riku, it's hot outside," The girl said, raising her arms to express herself.
"Holy…" Sora said. The boy was Riku?
He watched as they continued walking down the path, disappearing from sight.
"I've got to follow them," Sora said, then automatically felt like he was in a James Bond movie or something. He shook the thought off, then slowly jogged after them.
He watched as Riku and Namine went through a gate into a graveyard.
A gate..? It looked brand new, too. What year was this?
He waited until Namine and Riku weren't in sight, then ran through the gate, looking to see where they were.
Sora watched as they stopped in front of the two graves, one marked, 'A loving father' and the other said about the same thing, but the word father was replaced by 'mother'.
Riku and Namine set flowers on both of the graves, then sat by them.
"We really miss you a lot," Namine said, reaching in her pocket and setting a piece of paper on one of the graves.
"We'll get revenge for you, I promise." Riku said, almost angrily. "That man.. We'll figure out a way to get back at him for what he did to you, I promise."
Sora stared. What had happened?
Namine then tugged on Riku's shirt, asking if she could go play in the woods. Riku nodded, and Namine was off like a rocket, right near where Sora stood.
The girl slowed down, Sora noticed, as she came closer to him. Sora looked around to see what she was staring at.
"Hey mister, you coming to pay respects to your family, too?" Namine asked. Her voice was really innocent.
"You're talking to.. Me?" Sora asked, staring down at her, stupefied.
"Of course. Who else would I talk to?" She said, smiling.
"You can.. See me?" Sora asked, still staring.
"Yes. You sure are strange," She grinned. "My name's Namine, what's yours?" Namine said, reaching for his hand, only for her's to go straight through his.
Her eyes widened, as she stared at him. She let out a shrill scream, and ran towards Riku.
"Namine, what's the matter?" Riku yelled, as she ran down to him.
"That boy!" She yelled, pointing at Sora, who was frozen to the spot.
Riku stood up, cracking his knuckles.
The words, Oh shit then ran through Sora's mind, who wanted to run, but had an odd feeling of staying. Don't you hate it when that happens?
Riku came up to Sora, glaring.
"He's a ghost!" Namine said, hiding behind Riku.
Well, Sora thought. She knows. But how can they see me?
"Why'd you scare my sister like that?" Riku said angrily, glaring at Sora. He looked like he wanted to tear Sora's head off.
Sora didn't say anything, but stared at Riku.
"What? Are you to scared to say anything?" Riku said.
Sora shook his head. "I.. know you."
"Look, whatever, just don't freak out my sister again," Riku growled, walking past Sora, and tried to knock him over, only for his hands to go right through Sora.
"What the hell!" He yelled, stepping back.
Namine pointed. "See I told you, he's a--"
"Ghost." Riku said, staring.
