Yay! I finally have the second chapter done! So sorry it took forever, I've been busy trying to get school stuff all figured out... and working... and writing other stuff! Anyway, so I realized this might be confusing so I thought I would clarify every main character was reborn into basically a world just like ours, no heartless, no keyblades... so far anyway... and everyone has a differant name Roxas-Justin, Sora-Colin, Riku-Ian. Other characters will be introduced later. This chapter is mostly just Soriku, but I promise Axel will show up soon, Next chapter will have more Org members!! Anyway, hope you like and please leave a review, it really helps keep me motivated!

Chapter 2: Remembering

"How many?"

"Doesn't matter."

"Don't give me that Axel! Of course it matters! How many did you kill?" Roxas fumed at the older nobody standing in front of him.

"Rox, I had to. It was hard, but I knew you wouldn't be safe if I didn't. Everything I did, it was for you."

Silence filled the room. The blonde stared at the redhead's back, anger giving way to concern.

"What if… Marluxia was one of the best of us… what if…" Roxas looked down, not willing to say what he was thinking. The other nobody turned and offered him a small reassuring smile.

"It's okay Roxas, I'm here. I would never leave you." With that he pulled the blonde into a deep embrace, taking in the scent of his honey-blonde hair. Roxas relaxed and looked up into acid green eyes.

"Don't ever do anything like that again."

Axel chuckled and leaned down to steal a kiss.

"I'll do whatever I have to, to keep you."

"Justin!"

The blonde looked up to see his math teacher staring at him and waving her arms.

"I asked you a question."

"Um… 12?" That was his answer for everything in this class, in history it was Abraham Lincoln, and in Chemistry it was Dihydrogen Monoxide, there was one for each class. He always had fallback answers and even though they were mostly wrong it usually made for a good laugh.

The class snickered, as the teacher sighed and just continued with the lesson. Roxas leaned back in his chair and placed a hand to his forehead. It had been two days and the memories kept appearing sporadically, the littlest thing would set them off. Last period someone had thrown away a piece of wadded up paper and he was sent down memory lane.

The bell rang, it was time for lunch. Roxas eagerly got up and walked briskly to the cafeteria. He had to talk to Sora.

"Justin!" Roxas turned to see Ollette running up to him with a frightened look on her face.

Immediately alarms went off in his head, his friend would only be that scared if something was terribly wrong. He closed his eyes and focused and sure enough he could faintly tell that Sora was in trouble. He glanced worriedly at Ollette who pointed toward the gym. The blonde ran through the crowded hallway, cursing himself for being so caught up with the memories that he didn't notice his twin needed him.

Roxas burst through the gym doors to see the silver haired skater and his posse standing around his brother. Sora was just standing there and blank look on his face. If Roxas hadn't of had a connection with him, he never would have been able to tell he was scared.

"Hey!" he yelled at the group who turned to look at him. He walked right up to the silverette and was surprised to see fear hidden within his eyes.

It was a blonde with a black beanie that spoke up.

"What do you want chicken wuss?" Roxas cringed at the insult.

"It's okay Justin." Sora said calmly.

"Yeah Blondieit's okay, we were just wondering what Spikey here would look like in a cheerleader outfit, and we all decided it would be worth it to find out."

Roxas fumed and looked pointedly at the silver haired leader, hoping that he wouldn't regret what he was about to do.

"Is that what you want?" and then for extra measure he added "Freak."

A memory threatened to take him again after using the familiar insult, but Roxas refused to give in.

The skater bristled, looking back at his friends who glared daggers at the blonde.

"You gonna take that, Ian?"

The silverette looked confused for a moment then anger got the best of him and he swung his fist hard and contacted with Roxas's jaw.

Roxas stumbled back a few steps, then he leapt forward with a yell. The two fought each other so gracefully that the others looked upon the scene with awe. It was almost as if the two knew every move the other would make.

Roxas was momentarily taken back to when he had fought the same boy a long time ago, only instead of fists they had used keyblade's, and Riku had been the one fighting for Sora. He looked up in time to see Ian throwing a punch to his right and easily dodged, knocking the older teen onto his back. Roxas loomed above him and waited, the situation so familiar to him. Then, he realized that the boy was looking up at him with recognition and confusion.

The memory was fresh in both boy's minds.

"Why? Why did the keyblade choose you?"

A pause as Roxas looked at the blade in his hand.

"Shut up."

Roxas looked down at the skater and waited. Then, slowly, the silverette looked up at the blonde with wide eyes.

"R-Roxas?"

Roxas stared at the teen on the ground and then looked over at his twin who was staring at them shocked.

The other boys had no idea what was going on, and as soon as a teacher walked in to find out what the noise was all about they scattered, leaving just the twins and older teen.

"Is there a problem here Colin?" The man asked.

"N-no sir, everything's fine, Ri-uh-Ian just fell down while we were playing…uh… tag?" It was a horrible lie but the teacher was either completely dumb or he just didn't care because he just nodded and walked away.

Ian stood up and stared as the brunette approached him.

"Do… Do you remember?" Sora asked nervously, Staring into aquamarine eyes.

The silverette never broke eye contact with him but winced as he raised a hand to his heart.

"Sora?" he asked slowly, still not exactly sure what was going on. Roxas walked over to the two, glaring daggers at the skater. The brunette smiled slightly and nodded.

"I've been waiting for you Riku."

Riku- That name had sounded so familiar to him. Ian stared blankly at the younger twin, trying to figure out why his heart was aching, why he longed to hold the boy in his arms.

"I-I don't know." He said and looked toward the blonde who was still glaring at him. He winced as another pang went through his heart. He never acted like this, he was always sure of himself, never let anybody get to him. Somehow, the brown haired twin had taken down all his walls in a manner of seconds. He didn't know what was happening, or why he felt that he knew this boy, and why he wanted to get closer to him.

Simply put: He was scared shitless.

"Um, I-uh, I gotta go." Ian turned and ran out of the gym, eager to get away from the twins, to try to figure everything out.

"Riku wait!" He didn't look back, just kept on running until he was outside the school. He slowed down and walked behind the building, mulling over everything in his head.

Leaning against the cool brick, he pulled out a cigarette.

He closed his eyes and the image of chocolate brown spikes, and a wide grin filled his head. The picture brought a smile to his face and warmth to his heart, but he didn't know why. He took a long drag from the cigarette and slumped to the ground.

"Somehow… I miss him." The silverette whispered as he closed his eyes.

"Hey, Ian!" he looked up to see his friends standing around him with curious looks on their faces.

"What was that back there man, you're kinda freaking us out."

Ian scowled at them. "None of your damn business." He growled getting up from the ground and pushing past them.

"Jeez, man cool down!" the tall blonde yelled as Ian walked off.

"Fuck off!" he yelled back and just kept walking. It was as close as he would get to saying "I need some time to think" and the others understood him perfectly.

"Riku Wait!" Sora yelled and started to run after him.

"Sora stop," Roxas interrupted and grabbed his twin's arm. "Give him time, when we first remembered it was hard for us too."

The brunette sighed and turned around with tears in his eyes, "I know Rox, but he said my name!" He smiled at his brother with joy written all over his face.

"I can't believe he's finally remembering me."

Roxas smiled sadly at his brother, he was truly happy for him, but his heart hurt as he was reminded of the one he sill waited for.

"Come on." The blonde sighed. "Lunch is almost over. He most likely skipped again. I'll help you look for him after school."

"Abraham Lincoln."

The teacher looked at the blonde with a blank stare

"No Justin, Abraham Lincoln was not the first railroad."

The bell rang and the students rushed out of the room.

"Finally." Roxas sighed as he made his way to the front of the school to wait for his brother.

"Roxas!" the blonde barely had time to react as he was pulled out of the doors by his energetic twin.

"Where do you think he is?" The brunette asked as they pushed their way through the after-school crowds.

The older twin shrugged. "I dunno. Skate park?"

"Great idea!"

The blonde groaned as he was half-dragged through the town looking for the silver haired skater.

"Sora, he might have went home already. Speaking of which, mom and dad are probably worried. I have a session with Aerith tonight, let's just go home, he probably needs his space."

Sora sighed in frustration, but nodded his head, "You go on, I'm gonna take my time, a lot to think about you know?"

Roxas nodded and assured his twin that everything would be alright before disappearing down the block. The brunette sighed and slowly made his way down the street.

"Um… Sora?"

The mentioned teen froze as he heard that voice and turned to face the one he had been looking for.

"Riku." The older teen flinched, his face was drawn and he looked utterly confused.

Sora walked slowly toward the skater and put a hand on his arm.

Suddenly the brunette felt himself pulled into a strong embrace. A warmth he had been so long waiting for filled him and tears stung his eyes as he relaxed into the familiar chest. Hands slowly caressed his back in familiar patterns and the silverette rested his head into soft brown spikes inhaling the scent that reminded him of the ocean. Neither of them spoke, and soon Sora felt wet tears falling onto his head. He was so overwhelmed that he started choking out sobs of joy, and soon felt and heard the older teen doing the same. Those strong arms held him close as if they never wanted to let go again, just as he had remembered.

"Riku…" He began face still burrowed in the silverette's chest.

"Shhh. Colin, Sora, whatever… I don't know what's happening. I don't know if I'm going crazy or what. All I know is that for some crazy reason, I can't stop thinking about you, I keep remembering things that never happened. I'm confused, I'm scared, but right now, I don't know why but I just want to hold you."

Sora nodded into his chest and held on tighter. The moment seemed to last forever. Even as the sky grew darker and soft droplets of water began to fall, the two stayed holding onto each other, sobbing, and letting go of the loneliness that had once consumed them.
