(keep in mind, Terra is now Xikki)

"This is good..." Xikki was eating a chocolate bar, still watching the library, no one was leaving or going so it was pretty boring just sitting there. She brushed the hair out of her face and grabbed another chocolate bar. Those were really good, where did they come from though? She swore to herself, that whole time she had been reading her book, no one had even come in the store. Yet, when she put her book down, there they were, 20 chocolate bars-12 now-sitting right in front of her. The manager walked in the room, it was Sora's dad, "Hey, who brought these in?"

He looked up, he had the same brown hair as Sora and blue eyes, but he did not have that gravity defying look, "Oh, some guy with red hair, green eyes-he was wearing a black coat of somesort-said he was looking for Terra. He said that he was sorry he bothered us and sat the chocolate bars down before heading over to the library."

Xikki nearly choked on her candy, "He what?!" Whoa, wait. Axel was in the library with a practically useless Sydnee, "I need a break, gotta go check something..."

"Is everything all right?" He looked concerned, like it was his fault.

"Yeah...I'll be back in 15 minutes..." Xikki raced over to the library.

...

"How old is this one?" I took the book from Zexion and balanced it on my hands.

I had no idea how it happened, one moment I'm having a flip out session, and the next me and Zexion are trying to figure out how old the books in the library were. I examined the book a little longer, of course still blindfolded, that was the fun part, "I'm gunna have to say this one is pretty old...maybe...well thats not right, if its in the library it cant be that old..." I rubbed the back of it, "Smooth surface...smells new, but its not, because if I open it up, the pages feel like they've been used quite a bit...I give up, this is the first one I really dont know." I handed the book back in his direction.

I rubbed the side of my head and the blindfold was coming loose...Wait...the blindfold! It was coming loose! I pulled the black ribbon off my face and blinked, I could see! The library was surprisingly dimly lit. I looked around at all the books, there was a lot of them just lying on the ground. I picked one up, that was the one I had identified to be a year old, I was right. Zexion had his back to me, and was wearing a outfit that suited him. I couldnt properly see his hair, or face. Should I put it back on? Will he be mad that I took it off?

I held it to my face and removed it again, I didnt want to put it back on, but I didnt want Zexion to be mad at me. I pulled the hat down and noticed my hair was blonde...blonde. Terra was going to die. I was not going to have blonde hair I dont care what the curcomstances were, but no blonde hair. I didnt have anything agaisnt blondes, its just that I prefere my nautral indigo color, well anyways, I couldnt let him know that I was---OMG. I'm wearing pink. I had looked down and saw my skirt, it was pink. PINK. Of all the flipping colors of the rainbow, she gave me a pink outfit...PINK AND BLONDE. I looked like a freaking prep. Zexion was putting away some books, but still didnt turn around, "Hey Zexion...do I look weird?" I know thats an odd question to ask someone you hardly know, but I wanted to know what he thought.

"Do you want the truth, or a convincing lie?" He still didnt turn back to me.

"Uh, truth I guess...." I was afraid of what he might say.

He sighed, "Just remember that was your choice," He walked over to me, and I could see his face-he looked just like Ienzo!...Only older and well, hotter, "I personaly liked your hair the way you had it..." He ran his fingers through my hair and it looked long and indigo again, "As for your outfit...lets just say there are things that could better suit you..." The illusion of my dark hair lifted, and it went back to the way Terra had it.

"You think?" It was weird, I could actually see him. I knew my surroundings. I could see what we were doing.

"Yeah." Zexion looked down at his watch, "He should be here by-"

"Hey, sorry I'm late Zexion. I couldnt find Terra anywhere...I thought you said you found Sydnee." Axel came around the corner and I scoffed, the jerk. Giving me burns that he didnt have to.

Zexion noticed the vibes of hatred I was giving off, "Oh trust me, thats Sydnee." He walked over to me and whispered so Axel couldnt hear, "You could freeze him if you want, I wouldnt mind."

I didnt even know how to freeze anything, much less a fire user. I didnt even know I could freeze things.

I looked down with a disgusted look at my skirt. I hated it...pink...Zexion had a scary resemblence to Ienzo, was it him, could it be Ienzo in disguse? It couldnt be him though, he wouldnt change his look though. The Ienzo I remembered wore happier colors, not to say that I didnt like his style, because I did, but I dont know. I wanted it to be Ienzo so much-just to be able to see him, for real not in a memory. I was staring at Zexion and Axel waved his hand in front of my face, making me jump back, "W-what?"

Axel gave me a mischevious smile, "Dont think I dont know what you were doing-" He shook his finger at me in a shameful way, "Tsk, tsk. Naughty girl..."

Did he think I was checking Zexion out? I wasnt, I know I wasnt...ok maybe I was, but I hadnt been thinking anything! Who was Axel to say I was, "What do you mean?" I tried to play it cool, but I couldnt control the sudden rush of color going to my face.

Zexion kept avoiding looking at me, so he once again had his back to me, "You know what I mean. Look, your turning pink like your outfit." He leaned in, "Dont worry, I wont tell him."

"It not what you think." Something was now tugging at the back of my mind-subconsious fear. What was gunna happen now? Were they going to take me back to that boring castle? What about Terra? Wasnt she supposed to come check on me? While I was thinking about what was going to happen, Axel had started talking with Zexion, something about tricked out chocolate bars. I began to silently panic, what if I died? Zexion may be nice to me, but I knew he was powerful and could kick my ass any day, same for Axel. I had no idea about everyone else, just how many of them were there? What did they want with me? What about Jennifer? Had she been ok? Did the fire ruin the office? Burn down the castle? I was now almost full silent panic mode, if I paniced anymore, I might not be able to even squeak. Thats what happens when I panic, I shut down completly-can hardly breathe. Being mad was diffrent but I was no where near mad. I felt scared, alone. Where the hell was Terra?! I didnt show any signs of panic on the outside and was completly aware of this.

"Hey Sydnee, you ok?" Zexion asked me, maybe I was sending off panic vibes or something, I dunno.

"SYDNEE?" It was Terra, she was loudly whispering, "Where did you-there you are!" She came around the corner and I got a good first look at her.

She had long black hair with red streaks-no doubt that she died it. She had an outfit completly opposite of mine, it was punk-goth and I loved it. Relief swam over me, she may have cut my hair and messed up some things for me, but I knew I could trust her, "Terra!"

Axel and Zexion stopped talking and with shocked expressions turned to us, "...Terra?"

"No. I'm not Terra, thanks to you two. I'm now Xikki. I would be Terra-I was Terra." What was she talking about? She 'was' Terra?

Axel smiled a little, "Three...two...one." Terr-Xikki swayed a little.

"Xikki?...Are you ok?" Now I was confused. So much was happening, Zexion looking like Ienzo, my mental attack, Terra being Xikki/Xikki being Terra, Axel counting-what was up with that?-and Xikki looking drunk-what was going on?

"Wtf?" Xikki rubbed her head. What was causing her sudden whoozyness?

Axel put his hand on my shoulder, "Dont you just love Vexen's chcolate bars? Surprizingly good, I know." He walked around me, "Shouldnt be to long now..."

Xikki was really not looking good, "Xikki?..."

She looked like she had the plauge or something. Her face was turning green, I'm guessing Vexen didnt know how to make chocolate. She mumbled a little, looking like she was going to die, then passed out. Axel caught her, "They leave a nasty after taste though..."

Zexion walked up to the two, "How many did you give her?"

Axel smirked, "I dont know...maybe 20...maybe five..."

"You know it could kill her if she eats to many. You idiot...take her to Vexen...no, not Vexen. Take her to Lexaeus...idiot."

"Ok, maybe I did know..." Axel was smiling as he dissapeared.

Now I was scared, "Is she-she isnt dead? Is she?"

"No, she didnt eat that many, but she might be sick for a while..." He was so casual when he said it, how could he be? She could have DIED.

He was so much like Ienzo, calm even in the most crucial situations, "H-how can you be so calm?" He kept remimnding me of Ienzo, he was making me mad, "Y-your just like Ienzo! With your calm reactions and secure feeling and-and his eyes, you have his eyes...and his hair, and his lips and..." He really did look like Ienzo. He wasnt doing anything, he just stood there. I missed Ienzo, but I hated him for disapearing, leaving-he said he would be there when I got back, "Its not fair. Your just like him!" But Ienzo hadnt been there. He had been gone. Why did he have to look so much like him? Reminding me all the time of HIM. Ienzo had been my best friend, the person who bails you out when something goes wrong-who never left your side. How could I stand to be around Zexion when it would tear me up inside? I thought I was gunna cry, I didnt want to though, not in front of Zexion. I had now flipped out twice in front of him, how embarrasing, I didnt even know him. I just wanted to go back, never have to see him again, I just wanted to forget all this. Wake up and have it all be a dream. A dream that I could set in the back of my mind and never ever have to deal with again.

Zexion sighed, "I was hoping this wouldnt happen..." What did he mean that this wouldnt happen, was it something he was expecting?

Did he know Ienzo? Maybe he did! What if he did, "Do you know him? Ienzo. do you know him?" I hoped with all my heart that he did, maybe-just maybe I would be able to see him again.

"I..." He turned away. He looked like he was trying to explain something to a kid, me being the kid, "I did."

"You...did?..." I didnt like the sound of that 'did'.

"Yes...I did. He...he talked about you a lot." Ienzo talked about me?

"What happened to him?" I didnt feel like I was there, I felt like I was watching someone through a television. I only assumed that Ienzo died or something, if he 'did' know him and he 'talked' a lot.

Zexion turned back to me, "He didnt die, per say." He looked for a way to explain things simply, "He turned into a nobody."

"A nobody?" I dont know why I listened to Zexion, I just thought I could trust him, it was a deep down feeling-like I knew him.

I forgot about everything as he explained to me, told me about nobodies. How they were created, what they were, and all that stuff. If all he was saying was true, then he WAS Ienzo, he didnt just know him. He HAD been Ienzo. I wanted to ask him something only Ienzo would know. I remember a question that we would always ask each other. It was a joke really, this one time Even was handing out candy, he gave me lemon candy and I asked, 'Why do I get lemon candy?' Ienzo came in with his hands spread out in a stately manner, 'Because. I have declared it so.' I thought it was worth a shot, he either would know how to react, or not, "Hey Zexion...Why do I get lemon candy?" I smiled and glanced up at him.

A grin spread across his face as he replied, "Dont you remember? I have declared it so."

It was him! I did know him. No wonder I was so open with Zexion, I'd known him I'd been his best friend, "I thought I'd never see you again!" I ran up and hugged him, "Its really you!...I never did figure out why you gave me lemon candy..." I laughed, it was really him. He may be a nobody, but that didnt mean anything to me, heart or no heart. Emotions or no emotions, he would always be Ienzo to me.

He hugged me back and gave me one of his small smiles, "Will you come with us? Help us get back our hearts?"

I didnt even have to think twice, "Anything to help you become whole again, besides, you wouldnt be capable of getting them back yourselves."

After two and a half years...I thought he had been missing and dead. I would work with the organization to help him no matter what the cost.
