I IS BACK!

A while back, I got back to finishing my novel, and thus wrote this less. Once it was finished, I prepared to get back to this, but THEN I got a major cold. I stayed home today because I felt like crap. But I think things are finally getting back to normal. That is, until Thanksgiving rolls around.


Sigh…

I got so many reviews like this:

AISUxAXEL

And it's not a bad pairing. Not bad at all…

Anyway, let's get started!

"What?" Sora gawked at his sister in surprise. The others, besides Axel, were surprised and confused, as they had never seen Aisu. Axel scoffed.

"Great. That's just what we need; a brat keyblader." Axel complained.

"You know her?" Larxene implored.

"That's my sister." Sora proclaimed. The others looked shocked. Of course, Axel didn't, he actually stuck his tongue out at the girl. Saix saw that.

That was out of character for him, Saix thought. I wonder if there's more behind his relationship with her…

"Sora, go aid your sister. Larxene, Luxord, follow behind him." The three ran off, Sora still a bit in awe of Aisu's sudden ability.

As Axel and Saix prepared themselves again, the blue haired man cast a curious glance towards his comrade.

"Is there something between you and… the girl?" He taunted. Axel looked up gawking.

"Aisu? No way!?!" Saix chuckled.

"I never said it was Aisu." As Saix ran off into battle, Axel blinked in confusion.

"What? Wait, I - ?" Looking around, Axel shook off his confusion and ran into battle.

Emotion has begun to grow.

That was funny. Axel could've sworn he'd felt something pang a bit in his chest. But that had to be his imagination.

Aisu and Mitsuka waited for the arrival of the others patiently, and when Sora leapt up to them, Aisu giddily ran to him.

"Sora!" She hugged him tight. Holding up the blade, she grinned. "Would you believe it? Mitsuka here did this!" Aisu swung the blade through the air, and it shimmered.

"What?" Sora asked. Mitsuka stepped forward. Before she could speak, Saix arrived behind Luxord and Larxene.

"Mitsuka can see pathways of the heart. She must've unlocked a pathway in Aisu's heart, revealing a keyblade." Sora sighed.

"With all these keyblades popping up, I feel like I'm redundant now!" Sora complained. His tone was slightly joking, but he also seemed to really feel that way. Mitsuka giggled and set her hand on Sora's shoulder.

"No matter how many stars are in the sky, there is only one sun, Sora." She told him, smiling. Sora was taken back by her wise words.

"… Thanks." He smiled. Lifting the keyblade, he turned to Saix.

"Throw me?" Sora offered. The berserker smirked.

Setting his feet on Saix's shoulder, Sora sat ready as Saix held up his shins. When Bahamut turned to fly back at the Dark City, the two prepared themselves.

"Ready?" Sora asked.

Suddenly, Aisu ran up to Axel.

"Lift me!" She commanded. Axel rolled his eyes, but nodded. He lifted her onto his shoulders as well.

Just as the beast came over them, Saix threw Sora and Axel threw Aisu. As Axel did so, he blushed sheepishly. You see, he had a rather good view of Aisu's posterior.

The twins rushed through the air and landed on the beast. To stay on, Sora had to imbed his blade into Bahamut's side, but Aisu landed nimbly on its foot. Saix and the others seemed impressed.

"Good, for her first time." Luxord muttered.

"Meh." Axel turned away. Luxord's eyes twinkled.

"Two months." He muttered to Larxene. She grinned.

"Four months." She responded. Axel gawked at them like they were crazy.

On Bahamut, Sora pulled himself onto the beast.

"All right, we need a plan…" he muttered, looking around.

Beneath them was the large crevasse that the Castle stood over. Sora's eyes went wide when he realized that if his sister took so much as a wrong step, she would die.

"Aisu!" He screamed, rushing towards her. Suddenly, Bahamut shifted, and Sora tripped.

On Bahamut's leg, Aisu yelped, holding on tight. But her eyes went wide when she saw her only brother, her twin, plummeting downwards.

"SORA!" She cried desperately, reaching out to him.

Sora tried to get into Drive form, but he remembered that he was in his pajamas; he tried grabbing the beast, but he missed.

Something in his pocket was glowing.

Sora became bathed in light, and he heard a voice as arms wrapped around him.

"Heh. Humans; always in trouble."

Sora recognized that voice.

Aisu gawked as a person materialized out of thin air and grabbed Sora. The man was tall, dressed in red, and had a wide hat. His eyes were behind yellow glasses, and they were red! Aisu didn't care though, he had saved Sora!

"Sora!" The man in red looked to her. Sora grinned happily at her, and then looked to his rescuer.

"Alucard!"

Alucard and Sora landed by the entrance to the castle. With a smug grin, Alucard looked the boy over.

"I knew you weren't normal, but this is certainly pushing it." He looked up to the beast that Aisu was now fighting.

"We need to kill that thing!" Sora grimaced, preparing for battle again.

Axel leapt into the air and down on Bahamut's back, chakrams flaring. Flames shooting behind him, the man spun, becoming a sort of fiery whirlwind. The flames crashed into the beast, but Aisu was there. That was, for a moment. Then black enveloped her, and suddenly, she was standing beside Sora.

"Thanks Alucard." He told the vampire, knowing that he had saved his sister, and himself.

The red eyed man intimidated Aisu, as he reminded him of that scary guy from that movie she couldn't remember, but the girl held her ground. Besides, he had saved her life, and her twin's.

"So, you have a twin sister?" Alucard implored. Sora laughed.

"Is it that obvious?" Alucard chuckled.

"So, how did I get here?" The vampire implored, leaning against a building. Aisu blinked; he was acting like it was nothing to suddenly appear in a dark realm holding a teenager and fighting this big… beast thing. Alucard laughed.

"You have an interesting sister." Aisu gawked at him.

Sora ignored them. "I'm not quite sure how you got here. But right now, we have to kill Bahamut. Come on!" He rallied them, and the three ran off, however stunned Aisu was at Alucard's weird behavior.

Saix was pissed; this was taking way too long. That beast was annoying him. So, eyes glowing red, Saix rushed forward, leaping into the air and joining Axel's fight.

"Ready?" Axel grinned. Saix nodded.

Alucard looked up to them and stopped the two teens.

"It's over." He told them.

Axel and Saix released energy upon the beast, bombarding it, and as they did, Alucard's darkness approached it from beneath, dragging it down into the crevasse. Screeching, Bahamut was enveloped in darkness, as were Axel and Saix. Those two, of course, appeared once more in the city, acting as if it were nothing.

The group joined up at Memory's Skyscraper.

"Can you believe it?" Luxord muttered. "All the buildings decimated, save this one." Larxene chuckled.

"Memory's Skyscraper is a symbol for all beings of darkness"; Axel began, coming up the street. "It's the closest thing to a 'light in the dark' we have."

Alucard noticed him.

"You are one I have not met. And you." He told Mitsuka and Axel. The others he had met at Monde Race.

Axel looked him over.

"Alucard. The race. I was told about you." Not to mention Tsuki's dreams.

"This is my sister, Mitsuka. And that is Axel." Saix told Alucard.

Alucard nodded, and looked up to Memory's Skyscraper.

"Light in the dark, huh?" He muttered with a smirk. The tower's televisions blinked and snowed, flashing. Alucard turned to Sora.

"Sleep well."

With that, he was gone.

"How in the world did he get here?" Larxene began. Sora pulled the gem out of his pocket.

"I found this thing in the ocean in my world. Aisu accidentally used it to summon Axel. Then, when I was falling, it somehow summoned Alucard. But how?" Sora asked.

"Summon gems usually summon one person." Saix muttered, taking the gem and looking it over. He held it out to his sister. "See anything?"

Mitsuka nodded. "This stone is different… it scares me. I don't know what it is, but be careful. It will summon whoever you need most when you need them, but… there's something about it I don't like."

Sora didn't hear the last part.

"Oh, Aisu?" He called his sister. The girl walked over to him. Sora dragged his sister away from the others.

"What did you need from Axel that caused him to appear in your room?" He seethed. Aisu blinked.

"What?" She began in confusion. Sora stomped his foot while he waited for an answer.

"Well, I…" Aisu sighed. "I had been thinking about how none of the boys on the island were my type, but he doesn't fit the bill either! I swear!" Aisu told his brother as she pointed at Axel.

Axel blinked. He was being pointed at. That was never good.

"Really?" Sora told her. Aisu nodded. Sora pondered that for a moment.

"You know…" He began. "Axel would be a cool brother in law. Okay, let's go!" Aisu gawked.

"WHAT?!?"

Destiny Islands was a quiet place without Sora and Aisu around. Kairi sighed and looked out the stormy window. It was still dark as night, and Riku was sitting on the couch across the room, sleeping. He hadn't slept well earlier. Namine was nodding off beside her on the loveseat, and Kairi was planted at the window, sighing.

"It's so like that night, so long ago…" Kairi smiled contently.

Suddenly, a portal appeared behind her. Kairi turned around. Donald and Goofy were standing in front of the dark portal!

"Since when can you guys do that?" Kairi thought aloud. Goofy shook his head.

"We, uh… had a misunderstanding at the castle. A few of our guests caused some mayhem, and the king won't let them stay anymore. Would you mind watching them?" Goofy implored. Kairi shrugged.

"All right." She smiled. Donald and Goofy turned back to the portal. "Take care of yourselves."

"Bye, Kairi!" Goofy called.

"See you later!" Donald told her. Kairi grinned and waved.

Once they were in the portal, three beings fell through, and it disappeared.

Kairi knew immediately she had made a mistake.

Tsuki was on the floor with her sister, Hinode by her side. The two were groaning, just sitting up, and looking around.

The third was him. Ansem.

The worst part was that Riku had just started to wake up and yawn. When he opened his eyes, they went wide and angry.

"ANSEM!!!!!!"
