Our Sanctuary

The girl with waist length crimson hair sat down on the ledge of a castle. Her steady eyes search for something a dark portal opened next to her and another red head came out. He sat down next to her and sighed.

"What do you see out there?" he asked.

"I see a dark and terrible place. It's home to Nobodies, beings without hearts, who go around using many people to get hearts once again. They really are terrible people."

"Then why is it that you continue to help them?" he questioned.

She just laughed. "What a stupid question, Axel. The answer is simple. All being in this world deserve a chance at life. Even the damned."

"You speak like you are one of us."

She just smiled very sadly. "Maybe I am... You should go. Saix is looking for you. His nose is too sharp for his own good."

Axel nodded. He got up and opened a portal. "Thanks, Sparkles."

She raised a brow. "For what?"

"Thinking that we do have hearts."

Her face hardened. "You do have hearts, Axel. And that girl proved it."

"Whatever." he chuckled and left her alone on the ledge.

She held her head in her hands and cried. "I'm so sorry, Axel. It's all my fault." She put her arms to her chest and looked up at the sky. Her eyes glistening with fresh tears. "Forgive me Axel, Yumi. Xion, Roxas, and Xkai. Maria, Ven. Aqua, Terra. Tenebrea, Vanitas. And most of all Sora. Forgive me for I have ruined everything! I'M SO SORRY! JUST PLEASE FORGIVE ME, SORA! I AM SO SORRY! IT'S ALL MY FAULT!" She cried.

"We need to go back to Hollow Bastion." Yumi said out of no where as they were making their way to the next world.

"Huh? Why?" Sora asked.

"I...I don't know. We just have to go. Now!"

Sora immediately turned the Gummi Ship around and went that way. Once there Yumi shot out of the ship and into the bailey. Loen yelled at her but she paid no head and ran down the steps. Sora came in a little while later and chased her. He stopped at the end of the steps and panted heavily. Before he could say anything a voice spoke.

"What's the point of an angel having wings if she can not use them?"

Yumi spun around to see a very familiar face. "Tenebrea."

"Hello, Yami. So great to see you once again."

"It's Yumi." she huffed.

"Yumi, you know her?"

Yumi looked at her warily. "Sorta... Well I have talked to her briefly. So, what do you want?"

"I want to know why you have not used your powers."

"I am!"

"No. You are not. Back in that castle, you did. When you tried to save the Twilight from her fate you unleashed it and almost killed everyone in your path. But, alas, she cannot be saved from her fate. it is the price she has to pay."

"What are you smoking? What castle? Hollow Bastion?"

Tenebrea shook her head. "No. You have forgotten. They have taken another from you. The witch has too much power. She needs to be dealt with soon."

They just stared at her. "What?"

Tenebrea just shook her head. "So much has been taken from you two. I can't help but wonder; when will you receive?" With that a strong with blew and like dust she disappeared before their eyes. "So much has been taken from people. First with the origanl Earth, Sky, and Ocean, then you eight. Finally the one's without hearts. Oh what a pity. They did not deserve that. Poor them. Poor, poor them."

They just stood there, dumbfounded. What just happened, all ran through their heads.

"Something else is going on here. Something much deeper and complicated. It unnerves me..."

They nodded. It was unsettling to them all to know that there's someone who seems to know everything, even their very fates.

"We should go back to the other world." Yumi said.

"Yeah." agreed and stepped forward. As soon as his foot took that step he fell to the floor. Goofy and Yumi caught him before he could hit it completely.

"Sora! Are you ok?" Yumi asked.

He smiled sheepishly. "Yeah. I'm fine."

"Are you sure? Promise?"

Sora smiled even brighter. "Promise!"

"SORA!" Yumi screamed as Sora was hit to the floor. "You idiot!"

She and goofy ran over to him while Donald held off the Heartless. She put a hand on his forehead and gasped. It was burning up.

"Blizzard!" Yumi collected ice in her hand and put some on his forehead. "Goofy, I need you to go help Donald kill that thing so we can get to the Gummi ship quickly. I have some medicine up there. Here are some potions."

She handed him several potions from her pocket and watched him leave to aid Donald. She placed Sora in her lap and stroked his head. She ignored to sweat that was collecting and continued to play with his hair and stroke it in a comforting way. He moaned from pain and snuggled up to her. He's face was buried in her stomach but she could hear the name he moaned clear as day.

"Miku..."

She stared at him. "Miku...? We don't know anyone named Miku... Sounds a lot like Riku..." she pondered over it for a while. "He must've meant Riku."

Goofy and Donald successively defeated the Heartless and rushed over to the two humans. Yumi smiled up at them and placed him on her back. Goofy protest, saying that he could carry him put stopped when she glared at them. She carried him all the way to the Gummi Ship, the nobody forgotten as they laid the young hero down in a bed.

Yumi gave him some medicine and sat by his bed.

"Donald, we need to get to Hollow Bastion. Can you-"

"Already on it, Yumi." Donald was heading out of the room and to the control room. Goofy followed while Yumi stayed with Sora. They landed and once again Yumi carried him all the way to Merlin's.

"back so- what the Hell?" Leon gasped as Yumi came into the room, panting slightly with an ill Sora on her back.

"Sora... he's sick." Yumi explained. "Is there somewhere I can put him?"

"Y-yeah... Aerith!"

"Yes Le- oh my. What happened-"

"No time to explain, just show me to the damn room!" Yumi snapped.

Aerith nodded. "Alright. Leon, can you carry him-"

"No. I can do it." Yumi said. They looked at her warily but let her do as she pleased.

Sora's blue eyes fluttered open several hours later. He tried to sit up but fell back down, moaning. A laugh filled the air and his eyes darted to the source. It was Yumi. She was sitting in a chair fast asleep. A smile was placed on her lips and her hair was in her face.

"Ax...el..." she said with a sigh.

Sora stared at her. Axel. He knew that name but from were? The thought was forgotten immediately as a new voice filled the room. His eyes darted to the door that Aerith was leaning against. She smiled at him.

"It's good to see that she's finally getting some sleep. Poor girl. She hasn't slept for days."

"Why not?"

"You weren't up."

Sora lookedat her, baffled. "Huh?"

Aerith giggled. "You know, she was the one that carried you here. Leon offered but she refused. You're confused but you souldn't be. Even if Yumi acts like she doesn't care, she really does. She worries a lot, actually."

"About what?"

Aerith sighed. "Nothing really. Just little things. Like wiether the worlds can actually be saved. Her dreams, her memories. Stuff like that."

"So she does care."

Aerith nodded. "When she was sleeping the other day, she kept calling out to someone named Axel. Do you know who that is?"

Sora shook his head. "No."

"Hmm. I wonder if... ah, never mind." Aerith turned to leave.

"Wait! What is it, Aerith?"

Aerith paused at the door, a shadow hiding her face. "If she has a cloud, too."
