Onto the Story
Destiny Hearts
As soon as those deadly words left Ichigo's mouth; both Namine and Roxas's eyes were blinded by a intense light of blue and red. Roxas gritted his teeth and buried his feet as far as he could into the ground to keep from being blasted away. Suddenly and intense blast of wind hit him square in the chest, sending both him and Namine into a tree. His back hit the tree with a loud thumb! But he didn't bother with the pain; he had to hold onto Namine through the end. If he don't! He could be sure that Ichigo was going to kick his ass if anything happens to her.
"Namine!" He called out through all the chaos that was happening around them. "Are you ok?"
Namine didn't bother to answer him; she just kept looking forward into the light where two people she cared about were probably dead now. She didn't know how she felt about that really, maybe just seeing those to fight each other to the death just cause her to go in shock. She didn't want either of them to fight cause of her! The life of a nobody didn't last very long. Even though Ichigo says he would protect her from people that want her dead, would he really be able to face the Organization like he said he would? She shook her head and clutch onto Roxas shirt tighter and waited to see if either of them survived.
A minute passed before the chaos around them finally started to die down. The large light cause by Ichigo's attack only lasted a couple of more seconds before it faded all together. The only thing that was left was a huge cloud of smoke that probably covered the whole forest they were in... Or what was left of it. Roxas grunted and pick himself up from the tree he was sitting or slam into along with Namine. Letting the blonde haired nobody go, it didn't take the girl long to race forward and stop a few feet in front of him.
Roxas chuckled to himself. "I know I just met him and all," he said with a grin. "But that Ichigo sure seems like a really crazy bastard to unleash an attack that big with him at point-blank-range."
'Please be okay!' Namine pleaded in her mind, desperately looking through the clouded area for Ichigo. She knew that Riku could probably survive something like that... key word probably survives something like that. But Ichigo was another thing; he was already wounded from protecting her from Riku's strike that probably would have killed her if he didn't take the blow for her. She suddenly felt a wave of guilt hit her, she had doubt Ichigo and the only thing he wanted to do was protect her.
'Whatever you do Ichi-kun, please just don't die on me!' She couldn't have the one person she finally started to care about dying on her. It would crush her if he died protecting her from something that he wasn't even supposed to be in the first place.
"Namine!"
Her indigo eyes open wide at hearing the familiar strong voice behind her; she quickly spun around to see in the smoke two glowing blue eyes. She held her breath and clutches her hands tightly by her sides, and waited as the smoke clear to show a smirking Ichigo in his Crescent Tsuki Kiba (Crescent Moon Fang) form. She smiled at him before rushing toward him.
"ICHI-KUN!"
5 minutes earlier...
'Damn that was close!' Ichigo sighed to himself as he picks himself up from the debris that covered his body. He looked around and felt for both Roxas and Namine's energy to see if he didn't accidently killed them in his fury. He felt around for that bastard Riku's energy and a smirk cross over his face as he felt nothing of his energy. 'Good! The bastard deserves it after trying to kill Namine in front of me.' It's not that he felt good at killing him no! It's just that he follow that mummy bastard orders without even caring if Namine was killed. Now that pissed him off beyond anything!
He had promise Namine that he would protect her no matter what happens to him or his body. The promises he made to someone that was a friend or something more he always keep, no matter what the cost or pain he had to go through to keep that promise. He was glad that he was able to enter his Moon fang form, if he didn't he probably would have died in the crossfire of his own attack. After he had unleashed an Augmented Getsuga Tensho, he had use up every bit of reiatsu he had left in his shinigami form. Thinking quickly, he had grabbed the keychain around his neck and slammed it into Zangetsu before the blast really began to do some damage.
He succeeded and found out something knew about this form of his. When entering it, the reiatsu he lost in his shinigami form is restored fully when he enters it. He sighed in relief at knowing something important about this form of his, now he didn't have to worry about being drain after a fight in his shinigami form anymore.
"ICHI-KUN!"
Ichigo only had a second to look up before he felt something slam into his chest. "Oaff!" he grunted and looked down to see Namine with her arms wrapped around him tightly. "Don't worry Namine, I'm okay." he assured her with a chuckle; he then stop when he heard sniffing
"Ichi-kun... "Namine didn't look up at him, the only responds he got that she wasn't feeling alright was she clutch her grip tighter around him."I'm so sorry!"
Now he was confused. What the hell was she sorry about? "If you're talking about not telling me that you were a nobody, then don't even worry about that." he said to her with a smile, "I understan-"
"THAT'S NOT IT!" She shouted, cutting him off from finishing what he was going to say.
Ichigo eyes widened in shock at her out burst
"I doubted you..." she says to him, now looking at him with her tear soaked indigo eyes. "You were trying to protect me and I doubt you cause you were going to kill Riku." she grip his shirt tighter, "I'm so sorry for doubt you Ichi-kun! I promise I'll never do it again." she paused for second and looked into his hazel-brown eyes before leaning up and kissing him completely on the lips.
'What the hell!' Ichigo's eyes were wide with disbelief. His whole body seems to stop moving as he just stare wide eye at Namine. He couldn't believe that she just out of the blue just kiss him like that! This must have really scared her about what could have happen to him. He smile, warp both of his arms around her waist and kiss her back.
Namine moan in pleasure, this was the first kiss she had ever had and it felt good. Being what she is, she thought she would never be able to experience love or a kiss like she saw and felt from many others she watch over the years. Now, standing here in the arms of a person she cared about and knowing what it felt like! She felt good and truly at one with herself. She unwrapped her arms form around his waist and wrapped them around his neck.
After a couple of seconds, they broke apart and stared into one another's eyes. Seeing what she had did, Namine blush and buried her head into Ichigo's chest. She suddenly remembered something, and pulled her head away before unbuckling Ichigo's shirt.
Seeing this, Ichigo blushed. "Namine! What the hell are you doing?" he asked her
Namine didn't answer him, she finishes unbuckling the shirt and open it wide to think she was still going to see the stab wound he receive from Riku... but "What happen to the stab wound you receive from Riku Ichi-kun?"
Ichigo chuckled, "You remembered my hollow?" she nodded to him, "Well he as an ability I can use to heal my wounds but it takes a bit of my reiatsu to do it."
Namine nodded before she glared at him which surprise Ichigo. "Don't ever jump in the way like that again if it means you'll get hurt."
Normally he would just glare back at the said person and tell them he could not, would not do that if it met protecting the said person. But seeing a glare on her face for the first time, Ichigo couldn't help but chuckle. "Can't do that Namine!" he said with a chuckle making her glare harder at him. "You know, you look kind of cute when you glare at someone like that."
Hearing that, Namine blush before pouting at him. "Ichi-kuunn!" she moans out, causing the said person to laugh at her.
"What. The. Fuck!" a familiar voice stuttered out. Both Namine and Ichigo pause and turn around to face a shock looking Roxas. "If you two are about to," he made some gestures with his hand which cause Namine to look at him in confusion and Ichigo to turn red. "I can give you a couple of minutes or an hour."
"What... What the fuck man!" Ichigo stuttered out, looking at a smirking Roxas in disbelief. "YOU JUST CAN'T SAY SHIT LIKE THAT!"
"Well, what else am I supposed to say?" Roxas said then pointed at them. "I just thought with Namine trying to take your shirt off and all..." he trailed off, the smirk still on his face.
Ichigo's eyes quickly went to where Namine hands were, reacting quickly, he softly but quickly took Namine's hands away from his shirt. The said girl look confused but didn't say anything on the matter; she just stayed close to Ichigo as she could.
Roxas chuckled; from only knowing Ichigo for a bit, he could tell the bastard would be too much fun to be accompany with. He smirks to himself just looking at how close Namine was staying by Ichigo's side. People might thing that he likes Namine in a romantic way but it was far from that, she was more like a sister than anything. Since the moment he held Oblivion and Oathkeeper in his hands, he's been getting flashbacks of a black haired girl with indigo eyes. What confused him was that every time he had the dream, he would feel a huge amount of sadness just seeing her. What did he do to cause that? He shook his head an focus on his two friends or more so to Ichigo/
During the explosion or when he wasn't with them, Ichigo seem to go through a change or something. Instead of the shredded clothing he was wearing before, he was now dress in what looked like black and gold martial arts clothing and the shoes to match. His orange hair was now longer than he remembered; it was now reaching behind his shoulder blades and covers a good bit of his shoulders. It also seem to cover his eyes a bit, all in all, the hair gave him a badass look which made Roxas smirk a bit.
"Hey Ichigo!"
Looking at Roxas with a raised eyebrow, "What is it?" Ichigo asked him
Roxas just pointed directly at him with the smirk still plastered on his face, "What's with the new look man."
Hearing that, Ichigo just had to smirk smugly at his friend. "It's a form I obtain from a keychain that was given to me by, "He pointed toward Namine who blushed at him."And a hot headed blueberry name Aqua." he explain, and then felt ammonias feeling. Like someone suddenly wanted to beat the shit out of him or kill him. He shook his head to get his head back in the game.
Roxas nodded, "So what's this form called and why did you enter it?"
"It's called Crescent Tsuki Kiba (Crescent Moon Fang) or Moon Fang for short." Ichigo said, "I entered it because after I unleashed my Getsuga Tensho on the bastard, I used up every bit of my reiatsu into the attack. I entered it because I thought it would refill my reiatsu back," he smirked. "And I guess I was right!"
Roxas just sweat dropped and had a dead panned look on his face, "So you were a hundred percent sure that form of yours wasn't going to give you your full power back?"
Ichigo just shook his head
The sweat drop on the back of Roxas head grew, "Just by that, I can tell you have made a lot of guesses in your fights."
Ichigo chuckled at that. "Sometimes, but not all the time!"
The two boys stared at each other before breaking into a full blow laugher, after all that happen they just couldn't help it. Standing over them and watching the two laughing teens, Namine couldn't help but smile at them. They only just met each a while ago, and already able to work together as a team and make friendly remarks at each other. The smile on her face suddenly dropped, she then looked over to where the hose was to see a huge egg like pawn still standing.
"Sora..." she trailed off in a whisper. The boy was still sleeping and the only way it seems like he was going to wake up if Roxas's and him becomes one again. She didn't won't it to happen, but she knew and also Roxas knew that it was the only way Sora was going to wake up.
"You're a monster!" a familiar annoying voice said
Both Ichigo and Roxas stopped laughing and narrowed their eyes, both turn around to face a badly wounded Diz who was standing next to two smaller egg shaped pods. He was glaring at them in hatred and clutching a stomp where his left arm was supposed to be.
"I see you somehow manage to survive hey bastard!" Roxas mocked, "But even if you did somehow manage to stay alive, you didn't get out unscratched."
Hearing Roxas's taunts cause Diz to become even angrier. "I WILL NOT BE TAUNTED BY A NOBODY!"
"Well, you seem to have no choice!" Roxas snapped, glaring with the same amount of hatred. This man before had cause him too much pain since he met him.
Diz didn't bother to answer Roxas, he just turn his gaze toward Ichigo who was looking at him with an emotionless expression. "You boy, are a monster!" he spat out. "You're just like those nobody creatures, No! You're even worst!"
Ichigo just frown at him, "I'm not a monster!"
"AND HOW ARE YOU NOT?" Diz snapped in fear, surprising both Namine and Roxas. "You killed Riku! And just before you unleashed that attack, I seen that demon mask you were wearing."
Ichigo back up a bit and the frown on his face was beginning to look panic. "I'm not a monster! I only did it to protect Namine."
Diz chuckled darkly, "Only fellow monsters would protect their kin!"
In an instant, Diz found his head being grabbed by a tremendous force. He then screamed in pain when he was slammed into the ground, shattering it on impact. He grunted before opening his eyes to look into ammonias yellow eyes.
"LET ME GO YOU DEMON!" He shouted. He stop ounce he seen the hand that was grabbing his face start to glow red.
"Call me what you want!" Ichigo said darkly, glaring at Diz with hatred. "But I will not let you call either Namine or Roxas monsters." he stated before letting him go; "Now before you say something else that might cost you your life, I suggest you leave now."
Using is only remaining arm, Diz quickly stood up and distant himself from the already angry Ichigo. Just looking into those eyes causes a great amount of fear to edge into Diz's soul; he couldn't believe that a boy this young could have such eyes. He then suddenly felt anger course through himself, who was this boy to tell him to leave? He would not be giving order by a boy no matter how strong he was!
He was about to say something, but stop once he felt something on his neck. Looking down, Diz found his neck in between to keyblades; he looked further down to see very cold dark blue eyes glaring at him.
"Just like Ichigo said," Roxas said coldly, his eyes turning darker. "If you wish to live another day of your miserable life. I suggest you leave. Unless, "He pulled the keyblades closer, causing them to graze across Diz bandage neck."If you wish to die that is?"
Diz felt fear in his body as he looked at the two before him. Even if he did wanted them both dead, there was no way in his condition would he be able to do anything to either of the two. He felt humiliated that he was going to run from a nobody and a... BOY no less. He glared at Ichigo and Roxas before opening a Corridor of Darkness.
"This is not over by a long shot you two monsters! I will find a way to end the both of you." He said darkly, "And when you're both about to die, I will stand over both of you and laugh."
"If you got that luck with you bastard!" Both Ichigo and Roxas said at the same time, "Then send anything you want to come try us."
Diz sent one more glare at them before he vanished from both their sight. Roxas stood up straight before dismissing both keyblades, "Good ridden's you bastard!" Roxas said darkly, he turn to face a smirking Ichigo.
"You know I didn't need your help right?"
Roxas just smirked, "Well I just wanted to add a bit of my two senses to the bastard."
"Ichi-kun!"
Both Ichigo and Roxas turn to face Namine who was smiling at them; she was also glowing white for some reason. Ichigo's eyes widened before he phased out and reappeared at Namine's side.
"What's happening to you?" He asked her in worry, not caring about Roxas standing by him.
Namine just smiled fondly at him, "Don't worry Ichi-kun, I'm not dying or anything." she assured him.
Ichigo sighed in relief, "That's good but still, what's happening to you?"
"My time is just up that's all." She told him, "Remember when I told you that my body is still trapped in the Realm of Darkness."
Ichigo nodded, "Yeah I remember."
"I stayed longer than I should have; I can no longer stay away from my body." She told him with a smile, "I'll be leaving you no Ichi-kun, but remember that both myself and Aqua are always with you."
Ichigo smiled at her, "I know! Tell Aqua that I will find a way to get her out and find her friend Terra."
Namine smiled and nodded, before turning to Roxas with a sad smile. "Sorry Roxas, but you know what you must do."
Roxas eyes widen before he turn to look at the huge egg pod with a sad smile on his face. "Yeah, I know what I must do."
"Roxas!"
The said boy turns to face his blond haired friend. "What is it Namine?"
"We will meet again. And then we can talk about everything. I may not know it's you, and you may not know it's me. But we will meet again. Someday soon. I promise!"
Roxas smiled at her, feeling better after knowing what he must do. "I'll be waiting Namine."
Ichigo just stared at the two in confusion, not knowing what the hell was going on. He paused once he felt something wet on his cheek, he turn around to see Namine smiling at him before she whispered something he couldn't here before vanishing. He smiled before turning to see Roxas standing before the huge pod. He frowns and walked over to him and places a hand on his shoulder, causing the boy to jump in shock.
"What's wrong with you all of a sudden Roxas?" Ichigo asked, "You seem like you're whole life is about to end."
"It is actually." Roxas mumbled, but Ichigo heard what he said and narrowed his eyes.
"What the hell do you mean it is?" Ichigo demanded.
Roxas didn't answer him, he step closer to the pod and press his hand gently onto it. The pod glowed white before the front of it open to show a brown haired boy floating in the center. Standing there, Ichigo's eyes widened at seeing the familiar looking boy before him.
'That boy!' Ichigo thought. 'That's the same one Namine and Aqua told me about. But what the hell is he doing in a pod and sleeping in it at that?'
"Ichigo!"
Turning to face Roxas, his frown grew at seeing the said boy's sad smile. "You know how I'm a nobody like Namine."
Ichigo nodded, "What does that have to do with this? And what the hell is Sora doing in this pod sleeping?"
Roxas eyes widen at that, "You know who this is?"
Ichigo nodded, "Both Namine and Aqua told me who he was! But I don't understand why he is in here and sleeping at that?"
"He's sleeping because of me!" Roxas said, confusing Ichigo. "Since you know how a nobody is created, this boy Sora is my original self."
Ichigo looked shocked at that, he turn to face Sora. So this was Roxas's original self, the person he was before something happens to separate them. But if Sora was right here sleeping and Roxas was speaking to him, then what was going to happen?
"Why is he sleeping in this pod?" Ichigo asked
"From what I was told," Roxas began. "He lost all his memories about a year ago. To regain them, Namine put him in a deep sleep so she could recover his lost memories. She did it but for him to awaken again, he needs one more key."
Ichigo kept his gaze on Sora, "And what's this key he needs to wake up?"
"Me!"
Hearing that, Ichigo looked at the blond haired fifteen year old in shock. "What do you mean by that Roxas?"
Despite what was going to happen to him in a couple of moment, Roxas chuckled. "Trap inside me is a memory that Sora needs to wake up and I also have half of his heart as well."
"But what's going to happen to you?"
"I really don't know Ichigo." Roxas answered him truthfully, he then turn his gaze toward the deathberry. "Even though I just met you Ichigo, you're a really cool guy to hang with." Just like Namine, he also started to glow white along with Sora. "Maybe next time we meet, we can have some real fun together!"
Ichigo didn't answer him, he just watches as a bright dome of white light consumes both Roxas and Sora. So just like that bastard Diz had said, this was the fate of every nobody, to be fuse back with their original selves. But what do the nobodies in general feel about fusing back with their original selves if they already made a life? How do they feel about this? He just couldn't stand here and watch as Roxas give away his life just to give it to someone else.
'Don't worry Roxas, I help you' He promised, glaring at the dome of white light. He only had one chance to make this count, he had to hit it with enough force to save Roxas and awaken Sora all in one go. Reiatsu swarm around his body before circling around his right arm in a twisting inferno of tremendous deadly energy. The long sleeve of his shirt was instant tore apart the moment it touch his reiatsu that circled his right arm. He then vanished and reappeared above the dome of light with a determine look in his eyes, he could not fail No! He will not fail no matter what.
"GESTUGA" he roared the reiatsu around his arm becoming more powerful and fierce with each passing second. "KEN!" With a fierce yell, he slams his fist as hard as he could into the dome of light. A shockwave was sent through as he made contact and blew away the remaining trees that surrounded him.
Only one more push, that's all he needed. He could feel the dome of light cracking and leaking some kind of energy he did not know of. He grunted before pulling his right fist back and charging it with more reiatsu, "WAKE THE HELL UP!" and with that, he slam his fist back into the dome causing a fierce bright light of energy to consume him.
Realm of Darkness...
Both Aqua and Namine's eyes were wide in amazement at what they were seeing, not in a million years would they have thought of someone trying to stop the process of a nobody becoming one with his original self. Watching it from the necklace they gave Ichigo, would have thought anyone would try and stop it.
Aqua just shook her head in amazement, "That strawberry is just too crazy for his own good."
By her side, Namine giggled at her friend's statement. She had arrived just minutes ago to see what was happening between Roxas and Ichigo. She had made it some way that they could watch Ichigo's progress even if he uses the keychain they had giving him. It took a tremendous amount of energy from both of them, but at the end it all works out good.
"Well, that's Ichigo for ya!" Namine said
Aqua smile before turning her gaze toward her friend, "So after Ichigo's attack, do you think that boy Riku is still alive?"
Namine frown at that, still feeling a little down and a least not try hard enough to save her friend's life. "I actually don't know Aqua! Ichigo's attack was tremendous which took out the whole mansion along with half of the forest behind it. So if he somehow manages to survive it, he's probably somewhere healing his wounds."
Aqua nodded. "Well, after what he tried to kill you! He deserves to be killed."
Namine looked at her friend in shock, "Aqua!"
Aqua glared at her friend which surprises her. "Don't you Aqua me you!" she said sternly, "You need to stop acting so nice to everyone. He tried to kill you even after you two are friends or somewhat. He even tried to kill Roxas and Ichigo! He would have succeeded if Ichigo didn't manage to hold him before using his Getsuga Tensho."
"But he was my friend Aqua!" Namine defended
Aqua shook her head, "No he wasn't Namine! Friends don't try to kill you. They stick by your side and try to protect you no matter what." she explains and smiled at her
Namine was quiet for a moment, "I'm sorry Aqua." she finally answered
Aqua smiled and hugged her, "Don't worry about it Namine, you had no idea those two bastards was going to try and kill you." she then smirked, "Be glad your knight was there to protect you from harm."
Namine snapped her head to look at her friend so fast, her neck almost snapped. "You... don't mean" she trailed off in fear and embarrassment.
Aqua smirked evilly at her, "Yes! I saw how you kiss deathberry." she looked up in mock, "How cute you two were in your moment."
Namine stuttered in embarrassment before lightly glaring at her friend. "You like him just as much as I do!"
That statement cause Aqua to pause and a deep blush covered her face. "No... I don't!" she stuttered out, the blush growing deeper.
This time it was Namine's turn to smirk. "From the stuttering, I can tell you're lying!"
"NAMINE!"
Back with Ichigo...
'Wake your ass up Ichigo!' a familiar voice echoed in the back of his head. 'You have no time to be slacking off strawberry!'
Ichigo grunted at hearing the voice, even if he was hurt or sleep! It knew that it was Aqua that called him that. He made a mentally note when he finally freed her from the Realm of Darkness was to thrown her into and ocean. After the bright light covered his vision, he had felt himself throw through a tree... or several trees to be exact.
"Gawrsh, you think he's okay?" a very unfamiliar concerned voice said.
Ichigo was confused, just who in the hell was that and why the hell did his head hurt so much?
"I don't know Goofy." another unfamiliar voice said. This one though sounded very strange to Ichigo, it had a certain 'quack' to it that confused the hell out of him
Another thing was, who the hell is Goofy? That was the strangest name he has heard in his entire life. What kind of parent would name their child Goofy anyway? Ichigo groaned as he slowly opened his eyes.
"Hey!" the first voice said who Ichigo could guess was Goofy said. "He's waking up!"
"Who's... there?" Ichigo asked, clutching his head from the headache he was having. After his vision cleared, he looked up toward the voices to see one of the strangest sight he has ever seen in his life. "What. The. Fuck?"
Standing before him was... a dog and a duck. Ichigo said nothing but stared at them, this was nothing like he had ever seen in his damn life even when he had become a shinigami. He had seen some strange shit in his life... talking souls and huge ass monster with holes in their bodies and enough destructive force to take out a whole city. But all that was nothing compared to what was before him.
The damn dog on the right of the duck was dress in cloths, where he came from dog's wasn't suppose to stand on two legs or wear human cloths at all. But the one just a couple of inches was and a hat to booth! Just what the fuck happen when he was knock out? This was weird even for him.
The dog was wearing an orange hat with a blue middle and the top is an odd shape, resembling a teardrop placed in its side. There is a small pair of red goggles around the bottom of the hat as well (strangely, the lenses of the goggles seem to be quite a bit smaller than the dog's eyes). He was also wearing a green turtleneck sweater with sleeves that bell out slightly and a blue arrow-shaped strap on each cuff. He wears white gloves with brown band around each wrist. Over the sweater, he wears a sleeveless, black combat vest with grey lining and four pockets of the same color.
The dog wore yellow pants and secured by a thick, black belt. They have rather large pockets and a pouch on each leg with a sliver zipper. Seeing this cause Ichigo's eyes to twitch in irritation, just remembering a mummy bastard who was obsessed with pockets and bandages. The legs of the pants have a peculiar style, with the bottom rims (which are dark orange) being pulled upward in the front by a brown strap. On his feet, were some of the longest shoes Ichigo had ever seen in his life! They were brown with steel toes on the outside.
He turn a bit to the left to see that the duck was also wearing cloths which cause his confusion to grow. The duck wears a blue hat, which resembles a beret, hass a belt in place of the normal brim, and a sports a zipper that spans the length of the hat. A high collared jacket that's navy blue with sky blue lining and cuffs. There are three pouches, all of which are blue with yellow lining, along the middle of the jacket; the center pouch is secured by a flap, while the other two use silver zippers.
The middle pouch is framed by two other silver zippers that span the entire length of the jacket, from the top of the collar to the bottom. He has a short, blue cape with yellow lining that is wore draped over his shoulders, kept in place by a sliver strap. It also wears a thick, gold bangle on each of his wrists, and it as no pants on. But that did not confused Ichigo at all for some reason... like it really needed pants in the first place. A damn duck and a dog wasn't supposed to be acting like ducks and dogs due, not standing before him dress like humans!
Ichigo picked himself up and towered over the two, they both had to look up a bit to stare at him. "What the hell happen?" he asked, "And who the hell are you two?"
"The name's Goofy." the dog introduced himself cheerfully he then pointed at the duck behind him, who had his arms crossed and was tapping his foot impatiently. "And that's my friend, Donald Duck."
'So the dog and duck have names! This has to be a fucking dream.' Ichigo thought to himself. 'I must still be knocked out so if I'm dreaming I'm going to just roll with the flow.' he nodded to them, "Kurosaki, Kurosaki Ichigo." He then looked around to see where he landed away from Roxas and Sora. "What happen? And where am I?"
"We don't know." Donald responded. "We just woke up and found you lying against this broken tree."
"Yeah, but we have to find our friend Sora!" Goofy said. "Why don't you come with us Ichigo?"
Ichigo just stared at Goofy for a moment and considered his words. If he did travel with the two they weren't going to travel long, their friend Sora was a couple of yards or so away. So traveling with them wouldn't matter, he was going in the same direction. "Why not?"
"Great!" Goofy said happily, shaking Ichigo's hand. "I'm sure we'll be friends in no time."
Donald rolled his eyes in annoyance, but the small smile on his face gave him away. "Anyway, where do you think our friend Sora could be?" he asked
Ichigo didn't answer him; he just rolled his head to the side for them to follow him and started walking in the direction of where he remembered Roxas and Sora were. The two talking animals shrugged before following after the orange haired teen. It didn't take them long to find both Roxas and Sora who was still in the pod sleeping. Roxas was lying on the ground next to the pod sleep which confused Ichigo a bit. Seeing their friend after so long, both Donald and Goofy smiled in happiness.
"Sora!" Donald yelled
"Sora!" Goofy shouted. "It's time to wake up!" The pod flashed white before a rumbling noise was heard then stopped completely.
Inside the pod, Sora yawned and stretched then blinked sleepily, causing them to snicker which caught his attention. Upon seeing his two friends, he leaped from the pod and hugged them, landing sloppily. "Donald! Goofy!" he said happily. They held each other's hands and jumped around in a circle laughing.
Leaving them in their reunion, Ichigo turn his attention toward the blond haired boy on the ground. "Wake up Roxas!" he said
The blond haired boy groaned was the only responds he received
A thick mark grew over Ichigo's right eye; he had no time for him to be sleeping. "WAKE UP DAMN IT!" He slammed his foot hard on the top of Roxas head into a foot deep of concert.
Stepping back, he watch as Roxas desperately tried to remove his head from the concert. Sora, Donald, and Goofy paused in their reunion and sweat dropped at the scene before them.
'That had to hurt! And his he still alive from that?' The three asked themselves
After a minute or so of watching Roxas still try to remove his head it began to get... pretty sad to watch. So Ichigo grabbed the boy by his tore jacket and with one jerk, pulled him from the head shaped hole his head created.
"AHHHAAHH!" Breathing in as much air as he could, Roxas tried to remember the last thing he remembered before the bright flash of light. Dome of light, sleep, and then pain was all he remember and then trying to remove his head from the ground. He suddenly notices he was a foot off the ground, he turn a bit to stare directly into Ichigo's eyes. They stared at each other for a moment before Roxas eyes twitch and slammed a fist into Ichigo's face.
The sweat drop grew on the head of the three heroes'
The sudden surprise blow causes Ichigo to let go of Roxas jacket. Shaking it off, Ichigo glared at him. "What the fuck was that for?"
Roxas glared at him and pointed a finger. "That was for kicking my head into the ground you bastard!" he was still wondering how the hell he survive that. His skull should be crushed.
"You should learn how to wake your ass up when someone's calling you!" Ichigo said annoyed
They both glared at each other before breaking down in laugher, the others just stared at them in confusion. After a moment of gathering their bearings, Roxas smiled at Ichigo. "Thank you Ichigo!"
Ichigo paused and looked at him in confusion. "For what?"
"For saving me, I really don't know how I can repay you." Roxas said
Ichigo just laughed at him. "You can repay me by living your life to the fullest and staying alive."
Roxas smirked, "I'll do just that."
The two smirked at each other before walking back over to Sora and the others. Sora was about to say something but paused when a green cricket wearing a green jumped onto his shoulder.
"Wow, that was some nap." the cricket said then jumped to the ground. Sora looked at the cricket in disbelief.
"You mean... we were sleeping?" he asked
The cricket clutched its tiny head dizzily. "I guess we musta been, or I don't think we'd be so drowsy..." the cricket yawned and then blinked when its tiny eyes landed on Roxas and Ichigo.
"Oh... and who might you be?" the cricket asked curiously.
"That's Ichigo and..." Goofy trailed off
"Roxas, that's my name." Roxas introduced himself.
"Well, Ichigo and Roxas!" Goofy said. "We found Ichigo lying against a broken tree and found Roxas sleeping on the ground next to the pod we found Sora in. Their our new friends!"
"Well, nice to meet you Ichigo, Roxas." the cricket said kindly, "My name is Jimmy Cricket." he then bowed to them to show is manners.
"And I guess you already know, but I'm Sora!" Sora said, pocking himself in the chest in cockiness.
"It's nice to meet you all." Roxas said politely, still a bit weird out that he's meeting his original self. Never knew that Sora acted this way and... He looked down at the banana shoes and shook his head in disappointment.
Ichigo on the other hand said nothing; he just stared at Jimmy for a moment before finally shaking his head. "I thought I was dreaming, but it seems like I'm not." he sighed, "You have got to be fucking kidding me!"
Roxas and the others looked at him at him in confusion. "What's wrong?"
Ichigo looked at them in annoyance, "What's wrong? What's wrong!" he shouted a bit. "Just a few feet away from me is a talking fucking insect that can say complete proper sentences right and you asking me what the fuck is wrong with me?" he asked them, He had cursed before but never this much in one sentence or argument before. "Then I have a dog and a duck that's dress in complete fucking clothing with too many pockets and you have the nerve to stand there and ask me WHAT'S WRONG?" He pointed at the two animals, and insect. "Shit like that isn't supposed to happen! Not where I'm from at least."
Roxas and the others just sweat dropped at his out burst
"Hey," Sora said walking in front of the orange haired keyblader. "I know it's a bit weird, I also had the same reaction at-"
"Oh, great!" Ichigo said in annoyance. "Now I have the boy with the biggest pair of banana shoes I have ever fucking seen trying to explain something to me."
"HEY!" Sora cried out, annoyed and offended about the comment about his shoes.
"Let me ask you a question that's been bothering me ever since I saw those big ass shoes of yours." Ichigo asked, ignoring the fact that Sora was glaring at him and Roxas was trying to hold in his laugher but failing miserably. "How in the sevens hell are you able to fight in those shoes? And how could you wear a small ass jumpsuit like that? Don't you're n-" but he was cut off before he was able to finish
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Roxas couldn't take it anymore, just hearing Ichigo talk like that and seeing Sora's face was just too much.
Sora just stared at both Roxas and Ichigo in annoyance. It was his fault that his jumpsuit was smaller since he seems to have grown a few inches. It also was his fault about his shoes either... actually it was. A depressing cloud form over his head, "It isn't that funny you know!" he mumbled
"Hey, it isn't funny when you're the one being laughed at!" Roxas said between laugher
Seeing his friend in a bond, Goofy stepped forward. "Okay, we have more important business to take care of other than making fun of Sora's shoes and clothes."It was still amazing that Goofy could become serious in moments like this and others.
After Roxas stopped laughing, the others nodded at Goofy.
"So uh, what did we do last?" Goofy asked his friends. Both Ichigo and Roxas stayed silent and decided to just listen to them. Donald put his chin in his hand while Sora crossed his arms.
"Let's see..." the brown haired boy muttered."We defeated Ansem..."
"Yep." Goofy nodded.
"Restored peace to the world... found Kairi..." Sora continued, not noticing that both Ichigo and Roxas narrowed their eyes at the sound of Kairi's name. "Oh yeah, and then we went to look for the King and Riku. I think that's right so far?' he asked the others.
Again both Roxas and Ichigo narrowed their eyes but this time hatred swept into both of their eyes. If Sora was that bastard Riku's friend then they didn't want him to find out that it was Ichigo would erase him from complete existence. Ichigo didn't want to accidently kill him, the boy was strong, that much Ichigo could see. He was maybe high lieutenant or low-level captain, he also seem to have no will to hold in blood lust in him, he seem to be to pure for that.
"Then what?" Donald asked. Sora crossed his arms again.
"What does your journal say Jimmy?" Goofy asked the cricket. Said cricket pulled out one of the smallest journal's Ichigo as ever seen.
"Gee, there's only one sentence..." Jimmy said in disbelief, not believing what was before his eyes. He could have sworn that he had filled the whole thing with every world and experience they had.
"Well, what does it say?" Donald asked, getting annoyed.
"Thank Namine" The cricket read to them. Both Ichigo and Roxas smiled at hearing their friend's name. "Hmm... I wonder who that is."
Sora, Donald, and Goofy looked at one another before shrugging, not knowing who this 'Namine' was. Donald on the other hand glared at Jimmy, "Some journal that is."
Jimmy blushed and rubbed the back of his head. "Eh... What do ya say we find out where we are?"
"Alright then!" Sora said in excitement. "Let's go!"
Roxas nodded. "Yeah." He suddenly smirked. "So long as Sora is able to keep from tripping of those banana shoes of his." Seriously? Was this seriously his original self with so much bad taste in clothes?
"Hey!" Sora cried out, glaring at Ichigo while the others laughed at his indignant face. "Why does everyone always make fun of the shoes?"
Ichigo snicker while walking passes Sora. "I'm sorry man, but who wouldn't make fun of those damn shoes of yours." He looked behind him at Sora, "If you're wondering about a job. I could find an application for you at the nearest circus if you wish?"
This time, it was Roxas turn to laugh
Usual Spot...
The group arrived in a quiet town after Sora tried several attempts to make fun of either Roxas or Ichigo but failed miserable at doing so. After some exploration of the town, they made their way into a familiar alleyway. As they neared the entrance to some hidden area, the bell of the clock tower rang, making Roxas stop and look around.
Ichigo noticed this, "What's wrong?"
Roxas didn't answer at first; he just stared at the sky before sighing. "Nothing, thought I seen something." He said. He knew that the Twilight Town he lived in was fake and something created by that bastard Diz to just toy with him. So the one they were in now must be the real one! If he met Pence, Hanyer or Olette.
Ichigo stared at him for a moment before nodding and turning to enter the area where the others were. Entering, he saw Sora, Donald, and Goofy staring at three others kids that seem to be back here.
"What do you want?" the blond kid asked coldly, glaring at them. He was dress in some simple cloth and seem to be around the age of 15 or 16. He was dress in some baggy green army short with pockets and shoes to match. He also wore a gray muscle shirt.
Ichigo's eyes twitch in irritation
Seeing his friends and rival standing just a foot or so away from him, Roxas couldn't help but be shock. His shock quickly faded and he sigh which Ichigo caught. The friends he had were just holograms to keep him entertain until that bastard Diz was ready for him. But couldn't help but feel sadness grip his heart, the thought of evening having a heart cause Roxas to become even sadder. Just like Diz said; nobodies like him couldn't have hearts like real humans. But he swore he felt something in his chest.
Sora raised his hands in defense. "Uh, nothing!" He rubbed the back of his head. "Just wondering what was back here."
"Well now you know, this is our spot." The blond boy responded coldly.
"What the hell's your problem goldy lock?" Ichigo suddenly asked, annoyed at the boy. He wouldn't just stand there and act innocent like Sora.
"What was that?" the blond boy asked threatenly
"Oh, I thought you would have heard me!" Ichigo mocked, "But if you need another way." he clenched his right fist and raise it threaten manner. "Let me open your ears wide so you can hear me!"
The blond boy raised his fist to defend himself if needed but before anything happen, a brunette chubby boy got in between them. He walked up to Ichigo and the others and looked them over.
"What the hell are you looking at?" Ichigo asked, getting annoyed that the boy was to close into his personally space.
"Oh, nothing." the brunette haired boy replied. "Are you guys new around here?" he asked them. "My names Pence."
The blond Ichigo was about to pound into the ground walked forward. "Hanyer, sorry I'm just in a bad mood."
Ichigo nodded but kept his glare on him, "Yeah, but next time be a bit nicer. Or I want go easy the next time you do it."
Hanyer gulped, "I'll keep that in mind." He said, and quickly walked passed Ichigo. "Catch ya later."
Seeing this happen, Roxas couldn't help but sweat drop.
The girl walked up and smiled at them, "My name's Olette." She introduced herself happily. "Hey, did you finish up the summer homework yet? Independent studies are the worst, huh?"
"Eh... homework?" Sora said nervously. He looked back at the others, who just shrugged.
"Hey, what're your names?" Pence asked curiously.
Goofy jumped. "Oh, sorry." he began introducing his companions. "We're Sora, Ichigo, Roxas, Donald, and Goofy."
Pence and Olette looked at each other before looking back at them. "Sora, Ichigo, Donald, Goofy." Olette said. "We just met someone looking for you."
Ichigo blinked in confusion. Who the hell could be looking for him? "Me?" he asked
Pence nodded. "He sure seemed to be in a hurry."He said, "He had on a black coat on so I couldn't see his face, but he had these big round ears!" he finished placing his hands on his head in imitation.
Ichigo narrowed his eyes in hatred at hearing the black coat but became confuse at the round ears part. He looked over toward Sora, Goofy, and Donald to see them thinking. Maybe they knew who it was that wanted them and himself? Something seems to click because their eyes lit up in excitement.
"The King!" The three shouted together
"King?" Both Roxas and Ichigo said at the same time. The others nodded to them.
"Guess he knows you too, Ichigo!" Goofy said, giving him the thumbs up for some odd reason. Just how important was this king of their?
Sora turns back to Olette and Pence with a happy look on his face. "Where did you see him?" he asked
"At the station."Olette responded.
Sora grinned, "The station!" he repeated and looked back at the others and nodded. "Thanks!" Both Olette and Pence nodded at him.
"Well, we'd better get back to that assignment."Olette said and look in Ichigo's direction. She looked down at his open shirt he never close to see his scar well tone chest. 'That body!' she moan in her mind and winked at Ichigo, before walking off.
Ichigo just looked at her as she walked away in confusion.
"Later!" Pence waved at them, before running to catch up with his friend.
"Oh boy!" Donald exclaimed happily, practically jumping with joy. "The king's trying to find us!"
"Why would he be looking for me though/" Ichigo asked, still wondering how the hell this king of theirs knew him or wanted with him. The other just looked at him before shrugging.
"Whatever it is, it must be important!" Goofy said
Sora nodded, "Yeah!" he agreed, "Let's get to the station!" He ran out of the alleyway, followed by Donald, and Goofy.
Ichigo and Roxas just stared at them before turning to looked at each other with a dead panned look on both their faces.
"You know what the hell's going on and who this king of theirs wants with me?" Ichigo asked
"Nope!" Roxas said before walking off
"That's what I thought you would say."
Train Station...
It didn't take them as long as they thought to reach the station Olette and Pence told them about. Ichigo paused for a second and looked up to see a clock tower just on top of the station; it was kind of weird to him that they would have a bell tower to it. He walked off to catch up with Sora, Donald, and Goofy who were eager to see the king. Roxas stopped walking and looked up at the bell tower, and was hit with loads of memories.
He held his head in pain, "What's happening to me?"
"I'm so sorry Roxas."a familiar voice whispered in his mind
"Who are you?" Roxas asked, holding his head as the pain increased
"Please Roxas, remember who I am!" the voice pleaded. "I love you! Please help me."
"ROXAS!" A familiar voice yelled to him, he then suddenly felt pain impact his chest and sending him crashing to the ground.
Roxas groan on the ground before opening his eyes to see Ichigo standing a couple of feet away fighting those white shaped creature he remember fighting in that dream.
"I see you're finally awake from your little nap!" Ichigo said with a smirk, dodging a jump kick from one of those white jumpsuit creatures. He grabbed the thing by its head before smashing it into the ground, with silver marks pulse before fading away, signaling it was dead.
Roxas turned to see Sora wielding the yellow handed keyblade he himself once use, fighting three of the creatures. Donald and Goofy were teaming up and fighting a good bit of them as well with their own unique weapons. Not wanting to be out done by them, Roxas stood up and smirked at a group of four circled him.
"Hey Ichigo!"
Slamming another devastating punch into one of the annoying bastards, Ichigo turn toward Roxas with a annoy look on his face. "What do you want at a time like this?"
"Let's play a little game." Roxas said still smirking, confusing Ichigo even more.
Ichigo dodged another blow and countered with a spin kick to one's face, sending it crashing in a group of them. "What kind of game you're talking about?" he asked, nothing taking is eyes off the creatures that were picking themselves up.
"Let's see who can take out as many of these bastards as we can. The one with the most kills win's!" Roxas declared before summoning both Oblivion and Oathkeeper to his hands.
Seeing this, Sora, Donald, and Goofy paused in their fighting and stared in shock at the two keyblades that were summon before their eyes. How could they be another keyblader, and one just inches away from them not holding one, but two keyblades.
"No way...!" Sora said in shock, never seeing anyone other than him being able to summon keyblades. He had saw Riku use his and the one Ansem created, and the King's. But he never saw no one summon two at the same time before.
"A keyblade?" Donald shouted in disbelief
"No, two!" Goofy said in awe.
Roxas smirked at them and twirled both Oblivion and Oathkeeper over his hand. "Yeah, two!" in an instant, he shoved Oblivion into one of the creature's stomach before brutally ripping it out. Sora, Donald, and Goofy wince at the harshness before charging into a enemy.
Seeing their kin being killed, the other creatures surrounding Roxas jump up into the air before diving toward the smirking blond who made no move to dodge. Just before the creature were in striking distance, Roxas phased out and reappeared behind the confused beast.
"Over here dumbass's!" a voice said behind them. They turn but was quickly killed at two key like blades cut them square in half.
Roxas lifted himself up from his crotch and found himself back to back with Ichigo who had a smirk on his face. Looking around, he could see that they were surrounded by all side with no way out. 'These things seem to be a bit smart at least to block our escape routes. If we do jump up, I think they will follow me and Ichigo as well.' he smirked, 'Way more challenging! Just the way that crazy bastard and myself likes it.'
"Better keep up Roxas." Ichigo said, snapping Roxas out of his thoughts. "I don't want someone being my partner slowing me down."
Roxas laughed and twirled the two keyblades and setting himself into a offensive stance, "It's you that bet not slow me down!" Ichigo laughed at that.
After was silence as the creatures circled around their battled ready prey, each teen ready for anything that the creatures send their way. Suddenly both Ichigo and Roxas jump into the air, the white creatures follow closely behind them. Ichigo smirked and crossed his arms over his chest, a few seconds later his whole body was covered in red reiatsu.
"Take this you bastard!" spearing his arms wide from his body, he roared loudly which sent a shock wave of reiatsu surrounding both him and Roxas. The creatures slammed into the dome and were sent crashing into the ground, some living and others dying the moment they slammed into he ground. Following it up, Roxas charged energy into both keyblades before jumping onto Ichigo's leg who had it speared wide at his side.
"Better let loose on those bastards!" Ichigo called with a smirk
Roxas chuckled, "Don't worry! I plan to do just that."
With a roar, Ichigo kicked forward as hard as he could. Sending Roxas on a head on course with the ground, the boy didn't seem to be two worry at all with is situation. Holding both keyblades over his head, he started spinning like a top toward the enemies below who were waiting or too dumb to move out of the way. The blue comet that was Roxas slammed into the ground hard, creating a crater in the middle of the court hard. Having finished dispatching their foes, Sora, Donald, and Goofy watched the amazing teamwork in amazement. Suddenly Sora gave off a dead panned look and looked behind him to stare at both his friends.
"Tell me," he said. "Why can't we work like that?"
Both Donald and Goofy sweat dropped
The smoke clear to show a grinning Roxas clutching both his keyblades tightly. He was excited! He had never been in a fight like this. Memories of his pass was coming back to him giving him the forgotten experience he had with his weapons, he was glad and thankful for that, He didn't know if he would be able to do half the things he doing without them.
"GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY ROXAS!" Looking up, Roxas paled as he saw Ichigo coming down fast with his right fist covered in reiatsu. Knowing what was going to happen, he race toward Sora and the others and brace himself.
"What the yeck is he doing?" Sora asks, looking at Ichigo in awe. Man he wish he could do something like that!
"Something that fits him to top to bottom!" Roxas said with a chuckle
"AAAHHHH!" Ichigo roared and slammed his fist into the ground as hard as he could. The ground beneath him glowed blue before exploding outward, covering all the white creature that surrounded him in a bright explosion. Roxas and the others held themselves as the explosion pass by them, rocks and smoke passing by them harmlessly. After a moment, the smoke clear to show a smirking Ichigo standing in a huge crater.
Roxas sweat dropped, "I'm not paying for that!"
Ichigo just chuckled and walked to them; he stopped and glared once he felt something behind him. Quickly turning around, he saw a figure dress in a black coat holding a white and gold replica of Sora's keyblade. He also seem to have very large... ears
"Your majesty?" Donald shouted. Ichigo just looked at the figure before him, was this really the king they were so excited about?
"Shh!" The King ordered. "You guys gotta board the train and leave town! The train knows the way." he pulled out a pouch and handed it to Sora. "You too, Ichigo." He notice Ichigo form and smiled widely. "You're just like he said, strong, confident, and a bit rash." he chuckled, "I knew you were special."
"How the hell do you know me?" Ichigo demanded, quite annoyed at the king. "And why do you have one of those bastards' coats on?"
"All will be explain to you about your destiny later Ichigo, but know is not the time." The King said hastily. Ichigo glared at him before looking back at the others, and then looked to the King... only to find he was gone. He growled at that.
"The King..." Sora said, still in shock. "Was that really him?"
"It coulda been..." Goofy said hesitantly. "Yup, I know it was." He said with more certain in his voice.
"Now we know he's okay!" Donald said happily. Sora crossed his arms
"The King was locked in the Realm of Darkness, right?" Sora asked. Ichigo looked at him sharply, remembering his promise to Aqua and Namine. Donald and Goofy nodded, "But... we saw him just now."
"Yep!"
"And if the King's here, that means Riku's here!" Sora exclaimed in realization.
"He's gotta be!" Donald said.
Either Ichigo or Roxas said nothing, not wanting to say the true fate of their friend Riku.
"Well, I'm gonna go look for Riku." Sora declared. "Then he and I can go back to the islands together. Kairi's there waiting for us! What are you guys gonna do?"
Donald and Goofy put on a face. "Gawrsh Sora, do you gotta ask/" Goofy muttered. Sora laughed at them.
"Hey!" Donald said indignantly. "What's so funny?"
"Your face!" Sora laughed. The two looked at each other and burst out laughing. Ichigo and Roxas stayed silent, not finding what was so damn funny to the three. "What do you say guys? Let's stick together for one more journey!" Sora asked, getting nods from both Donald and Goofy.
The three then turn to both Roxas and Ichigo who looked at them in confusion. "What about you two?" they asked
Ichigo crossed his arms. "Well, I'll stick with you three until we finish with this place the King wanted me to go. After that we go our separate ways!" Ichigo still had business to take care of with those Organization bastards.
The three nodded, that was exactable. That couldn't just make them come with them, it was their diecsion to stay or go if they wanted to. "Great!" Sora grinned. "Welcome to the team, only if it's for a little while."
"Now we have two keybladers!" Goofy said excitedly.
"Say, Roxas?" Sora began, getting Roxas attention.
"What is it?"
"How can you wield two keyblades?
Roxas blinked before smirking at him. "I'm just special like that." was the only answer they received causing them to face fault. Roxas didn't want to tell Sora the real reason he's able to wield a keyblade was because of him! Maybe someday he'll find out.
"So..." Sora said with his hands behind his head. "Where are we supposed to go?"
Ichigo rolled his eyes. "The train station dumbass?"
"Oh yeah!" Sora said sheepishly. They all sighed at him. "Oh, c'mon then!"
Inside Train Station...
As they entered the station, ready to depart on where the king was sending them. Each of them having different thought on each of their minds, about where their journey was going to take them. They suddenly heard someone scream for them and turn around to see Hanyer, Pence, and Olette running their way.
"What is it?" Sora asked confused on why they were there.
"We came to see you off." Pence explained, trying to catch his breath. "It just... seemed like something we should do."
"Really?" Sora asked surprised. "Thanks!" He grinned at them which they return. Sora walked to the counter and pulled out the pouch the King gave given them. Olette gasped at seeing it, which confuse them.
"What is it?" Donald asked. Olette pulled a pouch that looked the exactly the same. Everyone exact Roxas and Ichigo looked surprised.
"They're the same!" Goofy exclaimed. Olette nodded, and put hers back into her pocket. Sora glanced at them before shrugging.
"Five tickets please." the man behind the booth nodded before handing him the tickets before taking the necessary amount of money needed. Sora looked toward the train, a sad look on his face. "I can't help feeling like we won't see this town again..." Hanyer, Pence, and Olette looked at him in confusion.
"Why not?" Donald asked
"You're thinking' too much." Goofy assured. Roxas on the other hand felt the same as Sora, but he tried desperately to hide his feelings.
"Guess you're right." Sora agreed, not that convinced on the subject.
"Okay!" Donald said hopping on the train. "Let's go!" Goofy nodded and quickly followed after his friend along with Ichigo who stood back a bit and looked at the three.
"Nice meeting you three." he said
Hanyer smirked. "Sorry about the way I acted back there man."
Ichigo chuckled, "Don't worry about it."
Olette walked forward and to the other and Ichigo surprise hugged him. "Hurry back." she said and stepped back, winking at the orange haired shinigami.
Ichigo looked at her confused before climbing on board. "I really don't know what the hell just happen." he mumbled to himself. The only ones left outside were Sora, and Roxas.
"Bye." Sora said smiling
"Hey Sora, Roxas?" Hanyer asked getting their attention. "You sure we haven't met before?"
'You were one of my best friends.' Roxas said to himself but didn't dare say it out loud
"Yeah." Sora said, knowing he never met any of them before.
"Positive." Roxas responded. "Why do you ask?"
Hanyer shrugged with a grin. "I dunno." Sora smiled as a tear fell down his cheek. Roxas looked at him in concern, along with the others.
Sora blinked and wiped away the tear. "Huh?"
"You okay?" Pence asked
"Y-yeah, don't know what came from." Sora explained while wiping his face.
Hanyer chuckled. "Pull it together." Sora smiled embarrassed.
"Right... See ya!" he said quickly and boarded the train.
Roxas stared at them each for a moment, remembering all the times they spent together over the summer. Gathering his resolve, he turns toward the door. "Later," He said waving at them. He was confused when they just stared. "What?"
"Not you too!" Roxas was confused until he felt his face was moisture, he slightly curse himself.
"Sorry about that, we just met. Do like saying good bye that much." He lied
"You guys will come back for a visit, won't you?" Olette asked hopefully.
Roxas smiled at them, looking at his friends for the very last time. "You bet we will!" They smiled at him as he boarded the train and waved goodbye. Roxas sat in a seat and looked at them as the train began moving forward to someplace he did not know of.
'Goodbye! Hanyer, Pence, Olette. I'll miss you guys.'
