(A/N: Well, this one's a bit fluffy. (Whenever I say that, be warned. A bit means a lot. XD) Anywho, enjoy!)


'If I don't chase bad guys, then... then what am I?'

Xion sighed. She'd failed yet another mission, yet again with the Organization Impostor. He was just too strong, and she was... just a sham? She thought back to what he had said. Though she didn't want to believe him, she was starting to doubt herself. What if my purpose isn't to kill Heartless? she wondered. What if I really am just a useless puppet? What do I do now? She stared at the ocean in thought. She sat on top of the Paopu Tree in Destiny Islands, her favorite place to be when she was thinking or worried. A cool breeze blew through her hair, making her bangs block her view for a moment. She pushed them away, but they fell back roughly. Some puppet I am. And an ugly one at that. She sighed again, and put a hand over the place where her heart would have been, had she owned one. A single tear fell down her cheek and landed on the sand.

So caught up in her sadness was she that she didn't notice the footsteps behind her. The figure walked up to her and hugged her from behind. She looked up quickly, startled.

"R-Roxas?" she asked, turning her head to see him. "Wh-What are you doing here?"

"I saw you come here. You looked sad." He kissed her cheek gently. "What's wrong?"

She looked away. "N-Nothin'. Just came to think, that's all."

He released his embrace to move next to her on the tree. After he had leaned back against it, he asked, "Thinkin' bout what?"

"Stuff..."

He sat up partially, eyes narrowing. "The Impostor?"

"Y-Yes..." Words seemed to flow out of her. "He said I'm a sham, that I'm useless. That … I'm not here to defeat Heartless. I'm not a true Keyblade Wielder." She looked at him pleadingly. "Tell me, Rox. If I'm not here because of the overpopulation of Heartless, then … why? What am I supposed to do?"

Roxas sat up completely and sighed, wrapping an arm around her. "I honestly don't know, Xi. All we've ever lived for... is to finish Kingdom Hearts and get our own Hearts. And to do that, we've been bashing brains out of Heartless, right? Maybe... well, did you ever think that he lied to you?"

"Of course, but... Saїx says I'm useless too, and Xigbar says I'm a puppet, and-"

He cut her off with a kiss. When he pulled back, he said, "Xion, do they really mean that much to you? Does what they say really matter to you?"

"Well... not that much..."

"What about me? Or Axel? Does what we say matter to you?"

"Of course!"

"Okay, and what have we always told you?" He didn't wait for her to answer. "You're not useless. You're not a puppet, or a replica. You're Xion, me and Axel's best friend, the Keyblade Wielder, Number XIV of Organization XIII, and my love." He smiled at her. "Now, did that mean anything to you?"

Xion said nothing as tears ran down her cheeks. She smiled gratefully back at him and hugged him close. He hugged her back, pressing his lips to her head numerous times. She gave him her answer when their lips met again. Yes.

'You're my Xion. And I love you.'
