Ai: The first chapter with a real plot since chapter 4! More is revealed about Ray and Calix, so I hope you enjoy! AND REVIEW! I didn't get any reviews at all for the previous chapter! By the way, I think the previous chapter was some sorta screwed? The recap of what happened in the fifth chapter was at the BOTTOM, and even after I moved it to the top and it looks ok in my live preview, nothing changed when I viewed it as a reader. So if it IS messed up, then I apologize for it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, because if I did, when Kairi saw Riku in his Ansem form, she would have started screaming and whacking him. I don't hate Riku, (he's ok) but I think that if that happened, it would have had me rolling about on the floor in laughter.


The rest of our plans went superbly. Perfecto. And it's not like me to normally use these kind of words, so you can imagine how REALLY perfectly they went. The results were equally wonderful, if not better. Throw in two kids who pretended to be pranked as well, but were in reality the ones behind the pranks, and were all the while mentally laughing hard enough to cry, but remaining quiet until they were alone in their room, and you get one very confused Organization XIII.

Oh, but you know another thing that was completely unexpected, except this time in a good way? There was the only one person who apparently didn't get pranked, and that was Luxord-senpai, so… I think you get my drift.

I was back in the past. A memory. A tall young man with short brown hair was talking to me. He was lightly dressed in pale blue armor and had a sharp sword strapped to his side. One would think that he was unable to feel any emotions at all from the way he spoke, but I knew better. He was merely very good at masking his emotions. I couldn't hear what was being said, but I could feel the hatred emanating from him. Directed towards me, and towards my brother. Then I woke up.

I sat up with a jolt, trying to calm myself down. "A dream," I told myself, "it's only a dream." But I knew that it would be too good to be true if it were just a dream alone. With my psychic abilities, being able to see the future in your dreams came with the pack. For both good and bad futures. This would be one of those cases with a bad one. I rubbed my left eye, wondering whether to wake my brother up to tell him what I had dreamed of, then decided to do so the next morning. After all, there was no way to tell when the dream would happen. For all we knew, it could happen ten years from now. But one thing was certain. Our lives wouldn't be all fun and joy when THAT man came.

The next morning, after breakfast, I made sure no one else was around before pulling my brother aside. Telling him of what I had dreamt the previous night, I could tell that he was worried too. We both knew something was going to happen soon. And we did not like it.

"He's going to arrive here soon. And when he does, we're gonna have a big problem on our hands."

"He's not going to let us escape as easily as we did the last time. We may have surprised him then, but he'll be more wary now. We'll have to come up with a proper plan."

"Yeah."

For the next few days, we kept our guard up at all times, but nothing happened. No one came at all. I was almost starting to think that my dream was just a regular one. Talk about wishful thinking. The very same day I had hoped for that, HE came.

The day started normally. We weren't assigned any missions, so Ray and I decided to just spend some time exploring the World That Never Was. Not to long after…

"It's good to see you again, Ray, Claire. How long has it been? A few months, maybe?"

I spun around. And it was then that my worst fears were realized. The man I had dreamt of was standing a short distance away from us, smiling. I growled and summoned two of my Blades, one in each hand, and fell into my battle stance, a half-crouch. Judging from how well we knew the man, he wouldn't be letting us go just like that, at least not without a fight. Beside me, Ray was also holding his hammer. The smile on the man's faced fell.

"Now, are you sure that it is polite to be so rude to your older brother? I have merely come to ask you to return with me back to our home world… after all, I don't believe that you should fulfill your duties as a prince and princess… is that not only right? Father misses you and hopes that you will return home. He says that if you do so quietly this time, he will let you off lightly."

My eyes fell to the ground. That… would be nice. But we couldn't go back anymore. From the time we threw away our statuses as a prince and princess, there was absolutely no way we could even hesitate about our actions.

"We… won't go back," Ray said almost sadly, but his voice was firm.

Our brother's eyes narrowed. "Excuse me?"

"We won't go back!" I screamed. "No one really misses us back home, anyway! They claim to, but in reality, all of them hate us. And we're not the younger siblings you know us as anymore. We're no longer Ray or Claire."

"That's Xyra and Calixre to you!!" A large pillar of earth appeared from underneath our elder brother, but he easily dodged it by jumping high into the air. Exactly where we wanted him, I spun the Blade in my right hand before hurling it at him. But although it would normally have hit my intended target, it soared past his head, missing him.

"Your forget, dear brother and sister, that not only am I a knight for Father's army, I also control the element of… Luck." We froze as he suddenly appeared behind us, whispering the last word into our ears. He swung his sword, but intentionally hit us with the flat side of the blade, throwing us both high into the air. Getting up after hitting the ground with a dull thud, I panted for breath. We had only just started fighting, but I knew that the difference between our abilities were as clear as night and day.

"Luck? We know that. There's this guy in the Organization that you would be good friends with. He controls Time. Luck and Time… a pretty good combination, huh, Prince Akihiko…Nii-san."

"Sad to say, we don't give up that easily just because we're reminded of what your element is." Ray picked his hammer up again, which had dropped earlier on, and I summoned two new Blades.

Brother growled. He was going to turn serious. "It won't be like last time where you managed to escape. No matter how many times you escape, the result will still remain the same. It doesn't matter where you run, or where you hide, I will hunt you down until you agree to return home with me. Either that, or I dispose of you by force. I will now ask you once more: will you return home quietly with me?"

"No. No matter how many times you ask us, the result will still remain the same. No, we won't return home. Over our dead body!" my twin and I said together. Now it was time for US to get serious. It was very rarely that we honestly did, but when we did…

"…Very well. I shall grant you your wishes. I believe that you just said 'over our dead body'…?"

The first attack came quickly and we only just managed to block it in time. The next one came immediately after that, but it was directed more towards my brother than me. "He's planning to take one of us out first before the other," I realized. Being our brother, he must have known long ago that we disliked fighting without the other. If one of us went down, the other would surely lose the will to fight.

However, my guess was that he never realized how strong we were when we decided to stop messing around. Like now. Add in teamwork, and we could easily win. Our brother was too occupied battling Ray right now, and he would most likely forget about me if I did not do any rash moves. If we timed a surprise attack correctly, the battle would be ours. Ray was blocking all the attacks against him with relative ease, striking back occasionally, but our brother's attacks were relentless. Ray couldn't go on like that forever.

Gathering up energy for an attack, I kept on the lookout for an opening to attack. I had an attack planned out, and my twin knew what to do too. Once I had enough power, I rushed forward behind our elder brother and jumped. Raising my hands, I released the energy, forming a round psychic barrier around him. Landing on top of the barrier, I nodded to Ray. He immediately opened up a dark portal and I leapt off. We could just push the barrier and our brother inside into the portal back to our own world, but that would not be enough. If we did that, our father back at the palace would just send our brother out after us again, like he had done for the past few times. The only way to prevent that would be to prove that we were too strong to be defeated and brought back. And that was to win the battle.

Now was the best opportunity for that. On all our previous battles, we had just found the best opportunity to escape until we were tracked down again. But now, we were just an inch away from winning.

I raised my weapon high, then brought it down, allowing it to pass through the psychic barrier, and with enough force to pierce through our brother's armor. It stabbed into his shoulder, causing him to cry out in pain. I let go of my Blade, leaving it embedded in his shoulder.

"We won, Akihiko-nii-san. Now give up. Tell Father that no matter how many people he sends after us, we're not going back," Ray said.

"Y… You would injure your own brother?! Is your Organization more important than your own country?!"

"Hmmm…" I said with mock thoughtfulness and smiled. "Funny, I don't ever remember you complaining whenever YOU injured us. And you seem to be forgetting one important thing. As members of Organization XIII, we're Nobodies. You've been fighting them for years. Plus you know that it's a serious crime to turn into a Nobody. So, I wonder why you've suddenly forgotten the fact that we can't feel emotions? I guess it seemed fun to just stab you." I shrugged. "You know what? Never mind." Kicking the barrier with all the strength I had, and Ray punching it, it rolled into the dark portal and disappeared.

I yawned and stretched. "Man, that was a pretty serious fight, but we did it! And the best part is that hopefully, we won't be having anymore of this rubbish. Dad and Bro can go live their lives happily back in the land of the mages. It's fine with me if I'm not part of it."

Ray gave me a high-five. "Yup. No one even bothers about us back home anyway. Let's go back to the Castle."

Turning around, someone stood in our path. Axel.

"You saw everything?"

"Something like that."

We walked past him. "Then now you know that we aren't as simple as we seem. A prince and a princess as Nobodies and in the Organization, huh? Normally, that would be such a laugh, wouldn't it?"


Author's Notes:

Is it okay? The chapter I mean. The next chapter will be sorta flashbacks on their past, so if you're confused over certain events in here (like why they say they are hated), then you can count on your questions being answered in the next chapter.
