Xejicka: Chapter 5, yay.

Thalkxene: You have too many cliff hangers.

Xejicka: Yeah, I know, it's great isn't it?

Thalkxene: Not really, it's just annoying.

Xejicka; Just do the disclaimer.

Thalkxene: Fine

Disclaimer: Xejicka does not own the Kingdom Hearts Series, Final Fantasy Series, or Yuyu Hakusho, only her OCs and me.

Xejicka: If you're thinking that I'll do some splicing I shouldn't do, don't worry, YuYu Hakusho will only be a short reference. And now chapter 5

Chapter 5: Lost Hope

Kathleen got off of Sephiroth, she backed away, breathing hard. Sephiroth got up from the ground. The smile was still on his face. "Well done," he said walking toward her, clapping his hands. Kathleen was dumbfounded. Sephiroth had almost killed her and yet she managed to take him down with her bare hands.

"It appears that you never needed a sword after all, just like her," he said to Kathleen. He spoke as if it weren't the first time they sparred and as if he knew something about her past. She was getting curious about those dreams that she had about Sephiroth. Were they real? If they were, then how were they possible? Kathleen didn't want to wait to find out.

"Sephiroth, when and where did we first fight?"

"Sara?" Jackie asked the short girl after she took a breath of air after screaming.

"Oh, hi Jackie!" Sara replied with the same smile she always wore.

"Sara, what are you doing here?" Jackie asked her happy friend.

"I'm trying to sell some anime goods," she answered happily as she was scanning the nobodies, until Marluxia caught her eye. "Kurama?" she asked. Marluxia stared at her with a confused look on his face.

"Who's Kurama?" he asked her.

"Uhhh...umm... If you're not not Kurama, then what's your name?" she asked Marluxia. Jackie stared at Sara, she knew very well that Sara knew who Marluxia is. But it wasn't like Jackie could step in because she hadn't even been introduced to him yet.

"His name's Marly," Axel said said as he started to roughly rub Marluxia's hair.

"It's Marluxia," he corrected angrily as he swatted Axel's hand away with the blunt end of his scythe. Jackie was rumaging through the items in the wagon when she noticed a familiar bag.

"Is this my purse?" she asked Sara as she pulled out the large bag.

"Uhhh..."

"It is isn't it?" Jackie asked Sara with anger growing in her voice. Little did the nobodies notice that Roxas was also rumaging through the wagon. His eyes glittered with delight as he uncovered a large box.

"Is this sea salt ice cream?" he asked Sara.

"Yes, as a matter of fact it is," she responded with a smile on her face.

"Xemnas, can we get some please? It's been a while since you treated us. Please? Please?" Demyx asked with puppy dog eyes. Jackie's heart stopped when she saw Xemnas, she had no idea he was even with them. All of the nobodies stared at him with puppy dog eyes. He knew he had to give in sooner or later. With a nod of his head, the Organization dived at the wagon.

After several minutes, the wagon was completely void of any objects it originally contained. Sara saw Lexeaus hold all of the manga in one of his arms. She had a sad look on her face as she saw him carry the away. But before Lexeaus could walk too far Sara stopped him. "You're going to take good care of those, aren't you?" she fearfully asked. He gave her a grunt and nod of approoval. This gave Sara a sense of assurance. But it all disappeared when she saw Xigbar shoot a few rounds at the ceiling from his new gun and Larxene electrically charged a set of sissors she picked up.

"Hey Sara, can I go with you?" Jackie asked as she walked up to Sara.. Sara was about to answer but was stopped when a cloaked arm stopped Jackie from moving any closer to her friend.

"You remember the deal we had, Jackie, you are to live here and be a servant to us all," Xemnas said, preventing Jackie from moving any further. She had a look of lost hope on her face and she quietly accepted her fate. "How much will it cost?" he asked Sara.

"13,000 munny," she bluntly answered.

"What?!" came a quick response from Xemnas.

Sara was walking away from the castle. A sad look replaced her usual happy expression. The wagon no longer filled with anime goods but with plenty of money trailed behind her. "Why did they have to buy everything?" she said sadly as she walked toward Memory Skyscraper. Out of the dark shadows jumped a neoshadow. Sara pulled out her sword and sliced the heartless into two peices before it landed on her. "Gotta run," she said as she ran into the skyscraper with the wagon.

Sara bolted the doors shut and walked into another set double doors, leading to a large conference room. There was a large circular table with at least a hundred people that were in their teen years and early twenties. "Did you get the information we needed, Sara?" asked a guy that was in his late teens. He was wearing black, baggy cargo pants, a white wife beater tank top that was tucked in, brown eyes and curly light brown hair that was topped off with a sock cap with the image of Jack Skellington on it.

"I've got that and more, Matt. it is confirmed that is Organization XIII in the castle, all of the members are alive and well. But I found something else, it's Jackie," Sara reported, she had a serious look on her face with a tone to match. Everyone at the table perked up.

"Is she alive?" Matt asked Sara as he stood up from his chair.

"Yes, Matt. But she wasn't in good condition. She was bandaged up everywhere, like she was injured. Jackie wanted to come with me, but couldn't, it looks like the leader has a strong hold on her."

"What about your salesman disguise?" asked Torey, he had changed from his uniform to blue jeans and a Kizz fan shirt.

"It worked a little too well. Organization XIII cleaned me out. I'm afraid all of the items were sold. I hate it because all of my manga is now gone. Luckily Jackie got her purse, but I wish we knew she would be there, otherwise we could've snuck something in there to help her."

"We all make our sacrifices, Sara, all of my guitar picks were in there," Paul stated, he too had changed from the school uniform and into a set of blue jeans and a black t-shirt.

"You'd be surprised what Jackie has in her purse, maybe she already has something that could help her in there," said Matt.

"Will we be able to save Jackie?" asked Sara.

"I doubt it, Sara. She's with the organization and none of are strong enough to confront any of them. Besides, our priorities are set on finding anyone else that survived when our world was destroyed," Matt said with a sound of loss in his voice. "When do you think we'll be ready to face even the heartless , Diz?" Matt asked with a smirk as he looked up at the man covered with red bandages that stood next to him.

Jackie was following Roxas, Axel and Demyx down the large hallways. She was carrying her large purse, Roxas held the large box of sea salt ice cream, Demyx had a small pouch that was filed with guitar picks and a CD binder full of CDs and Axel was carrying a sac that was very heavy. They walked,reaching new floor levels, walking into different hallways until they finally stopped at a door. Demyx opened the door to reveal the exact same room that Jackie had awoke in.

"This is where you'll be staying. Got it memorized?" Axel told Jackie. So he finally used his initial quote, thought Jackie.

"Not really," she answered.

"Make sure you commit it to memory," Axel told Jackie as they entered the room. It was cleaner than when Jackie left it and this time there was a wardrobe filled with clothes. She put her purse on the bed when she noticed her right hand.

It had a silver ring on the ring finger and four thick black hair rubber bands around her small wrist. She always wore those, but she had forgotten that they were even on. She would have thought the organization would have taken them, but they didn't. Jackie saw something on her right palm. There was something written, no, tattooed, on it. It was text in another language, Jackie tried to read it but was interrupted when Roxas tapped on her shoulder.

Jackie turned around. "Hey Jackie, we're about to go to the kitchen, you wanna come?" he asked.

"Sure I've forgotten when I last ate," she answered with a smile on her fce. She and the three nobodies walked into the hallway and started for the kitchen. A hand grabbed Jackie's arm and she quickly stopped. She turned to see that it was none other than Vexen that stopped her.

"We need to go to my lab," he said, Dragging Jackie in the opposite direction of where she was heading. Fear was consuming her soul as she stared at the Chilly Academic.

"Midgar," Sephiroth said.

"Midgar?" Kathleen asked.

"Yes, these sparings that we've had for the past few weeks had happened in the night in that large city."

"Sephiroth, how was I even able to get to Midgar? I live in another world and those sparings happened in my dreams. I didn't know we were actually fighting."

"That is something I can't even explain. The sparing started when you followed me and you wouldn't stop. I drew my sword and you drew yours and then the battle started. You, like I, never became exhausted. We fought until it was dawn, then there was a flash and you were gone. The same process happened every night and every night you revealed a little more about yourself."

Kathleen stared at Sephiroth, all of what he said came back to her memories, she remembered the fights, each and every one of them. She was listening intently as Sephiroth continued.

"You revealed that you were adopted, you are, are you not?" he asked.

"Yeah, but it was when I was only a few days old. My birth mother was the common case of a teenage mom. It's not like I can remember her," Kathleen answered.

"Yes, but you know nothing of her linneage. You do not know that her ancestors were from another word. Her ancestors are who you should know some about, your friend Jackie knows quite a bit about them."

Jackie, Kathleen almost forgot about her. "I hope she's doing alright," she said aloud. But then it struck her, how would Jackie know about Kathleen's true linneage? Not only that, but how does Sephiroth know too? She had to ask him. "Sephiroth, how do you know about my ancestors and how does Jackie know about them?"
