The boy had passed out, only to wakeup in a hell hole. Getting up he looked around most everything was white, the floor he was standing on, the walls surrounding him, and as far as he could see there was no light entering the room, yet it felt brighter than most lights. He paced a bit noticing chairs that seemed like throwns, they were as high as the white ceiling, being white themself. On the last chair, there had been precisely 13, he noticed a symbol. The symbol punctured him with a paining familiarity. He backed away as if the symbol would come to life and attack him, and it did. Emerging from the symbol was a white, giant monster, in his opinion with a zipper that was way too big. He ran to the wall, looking back at it as it decended apon him. He looked for something anything, preferably a door. Turning to face his death, the creatures long claws reached out, gripping him tightly in the palm of its hand..."This cant be happening.."

POV Riku

Riku woke up, cold and wet on the side of the street. He held his head unable to recall anything from the night before, and the harder he thought the more it hurt. Groaning he got up, swaying a bit, looking up at the clock tower that resided in the west. It was 3 in the afternoon, sighing he shoved his hands in his cold wet pockets, shuffling down the street being passed by school kids glady out of school. Before long he heard a scream, and then fell to the ground, attacked by a highschool girl.

"RIKU!" She had a big smile, her blond redish hair falling gracefully over her shoulder as she sat on him, unaware of his now even greater headache.

"Refia.." he sighed slightly frustrated, trying to shove her off, weak from the night before. Refia Laslock was the first person he had met, apon arriving in his new home. She of course was annoying for her age, which was probably the reason for her being a 20 year old still in highschool. He growled a bit, tossing her off to land on her back, getting up.

"I'm going for a drink," He was hoping she wouldn't follow him but he was wrong, as soon as he started to walk, she was one step behind. Riku rolled his eyes walking into a bar hoping it would stop her, but again it hadn't. He took a seat at a corner booth, holding his head in frustration, and surprisingly she sat down across from him quietly. He looked at her, and crashed. She was crying, silently and descretly she looked at him, speaking in a soft voice.

"Riku..whats wrong.." He hadn't looked away from her and suddenly felt like an asshole for treating her badly. Riku sighed opening his mouth to speak, only pausing for a second before.

"Hey..don't cry, I'm sorry for being such an idiot. I've just been having a bad day.." he glanced away as he spoke unsure of his words. She nodded a bit, wiping her face, trying to look away as a waitress came up to the table asking for orders in a rude way. Riku ordered them both drinks, looking out a window, watching the time pass by as they sat silent, sipping at their unsatisfactory drinks. Before long Refia brooke the silence getting up.

"I should go home. I have to feed my cat," Riku looked up at her and nodded, leaving some money on the table, walking her out. He walked her to her door which was actually out of his way, and left her with a simple 'bye'. He walked slowly to his own home watching the world around him as he went. He had been thinking about everything, yet nothing at the same time. His house was as unwelcoming as ever, reminding him he needed to fix it up. Riku just walked into his room leaving the door wide open, collapsing on his bed, exausted from something he didn't know. But no matter what he couldn't fall asleep. Once again Riku sat there staring at his ceiling, feeling so alone.

POV Sora

Sora woke up to three people in his face. He graoned slighlty focusing, seeing Kairi, Yuffie, and Leon staring right back at him. He sat up confused tilting his head to the side sleepily. Before long Leon had spoken in his usual cold tone.

"Some news from the king. About Organization XIII," He paused a second to think and Sora jumped in.

"But..Their all dead.." He rubbed his eyes, still confused. Leon Shook his head making a mad noise, nodding to Yuffie, walking out with Kairi. Sora sat there, bewildered then looked at Yuffie for answers. She just smiled, getting him some clothes, making him dress, and then ushered him into the kitchen. A familiar voice lingered from the kitchen, talking about something in a low tone to who he was guessing was Leon. Sora walked in, and his eyes atomatically snapped to the fire red hair that stood out in the room. The fireball turned looking at him, giving him a sly smile, and a familiar line.

"Got it memorized?"
