Chapter 2: Who are you?

"Shall I explain?" the girl asked. Sora was silent.

"What's going on?" he finally said. The girl sat down next to him, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Organization 13 was made up of the 13 highest ranking Nobodies. Xemnas was their leader. He controlled all of the Nobodies. After you and Riku-san defeated him, Roxas, me, and 5 other of the higher ranking Nobodies were still alive," she explained.

"Wait a minute. How do you know Roxas? What do you mean by high ranking?" Sora asked. She sighed.

"Roxas, Axel, Demyx, and I were best friends," she said in a sad voice. "What I mean by high ranking is the type of personthey were like as a person. For instance, let's take you as an example. You're heart is caring and strong. Your heart was ranked as one of the highest, so that day at the Hollow Bastion when you turned into a Heartless, Roxas was born. Understand?" Sora started thinking.

"Yeah, I understand. I'm sorry about Axel and Demyx. It was all my fault," Sora said.

"It's okay," she said. "I have to talk to Roxas." Sora stared at her with a confused expression.

"How?" he asked. She sat in front of him and touched Sora's forehead.

"Roxas, are you there?" she asked. There was silence.

"Yeah I'm here," Roxas said, appearing next to them. The girl turned to Roxas and hugged him.

"Roxas, there's trouble, Miki, he's turning into the new Xemnas. We have to stop him," the girl said. Roxas looked at Sora.

"Sora can help you," Roxas told her. "I don't really know what to do."

"Sora. Please," the girl said. "We need you, so do all the worlds that you saved." Sora sat silently.

"Why aren't you taking their side? You're a Nobody, you have no heart, don't you want one?" Sora asked. The girl sat closer to him.

"I don't need a heart, I have you," she said. Sora blushed.

"Ok, I'll help," he mumbled. Sora looked down at his hands. "This means I'll have to leave everybody again, doesn't it?"

"I'm sorry Sora," the girl said. She grabbed his hands and leaned close enough for her nose to touch his. "I promise to bring you home soon." She smiled. Roxas stared.

"I'm still here you know," he said. The girl backed away. "See ya." Roxas dissapeared in a blue light. The girl stood up and opened a dark portal.

"We have to go visit Ran and Kakuko. They're waiting," she said. Sora walked over to her.

"Before we go I have one question," Sora said. The girl looked at him.

"What's the matter?" she asked kindly. She grabbed his hand.

"What's your name?" he asked her. She smiled.

"Crystal is my name," she said giggling
