Dark Awakening
Chapter 6
Here it is chapter 6. I really hope you guys and girls who find this story amazing will like it. Not much action in this chapter, but good old bonding isn't bad either. I guess it is more of a filler than anything. I have to thank Hurricane Sandy for allowing me this four day weekend from school so that I can get these updates done. Contrary to most of the eastern coast, Calvert County wasn't hit that badly. I can't say the same for Jersey Shore. Sorry Jersey Shore, I hope you get better soon. And I hope you all like the chapter.
HOLLOW BASTION CASTLE-REGULAR POV
As the group walked into the main room, Cid and Leon looked up from their spot as they were facing the computer screen.
"Shit, what happened to you guys? Are you that much out of shape?" Cid said as he turned back to the computer, "Well, if you're looking for healing potions, you're going to have to pay. I don't give things away for free."
"Oh Cid, stop being such a baby." Yuffie said as she led them into the next room, "This is the infirmary. We fixed it up a bit."
"Well, I made a lot of money over summer break working for the king, so if you want I could pay for the potions." Kairi said as she walked up behind Yuffie who had been standing next to the potion rack.
"No, of course you won't have to pay." Yuffie exclaimed, "I am sure we can order more potions, after all you guys are on the committee."
"And besides, Sora doesn't have any money, so there's no point in asking him." Riku commented.
"Hey, I do have money; I've been working all at different jobs all over the worlds when I had gone looking for you. So I do have a lot of money saved up." Sora huffed, crossing his arms.
Terra then decided he should speak up, "I think we should stop arguing, my friend needs help. She can barely stand up."
Yuffie looked guilty as she picked out a bottle, "Here, we have some pretty good potions but with some of the more serious cuts, I don't think the potion will heal it all."
"We don't have much money, so it doesn't have to be all that great." Aqua said as Terra set her on one of the medical beds.
"It really doesn't matter about money, Cid was just joking. Here," she said handing her the bottle. "Kairi, how is your job with helping the king."
"Oh, it's good. I am on a break at the moment but I will be heading back in a few weeks." Kairi said as she helped Riku wrap up his bleeding arm, "I'm really only working on documents at the moment but I will start going over laws when I go back."
"What about you guys, what are you doing here? I thought you went back home." Yuffie went on looking at the two younger boys.
Riku shrugged, "We were but obviously, Sora had to piss someone off and now we are trying to figure out who it was."
"I did not piss anyone off. I didn't even know the guy." Sora defended, "Any way, we were hoping that Tron could give us some answers about who he was."
"As opposed to Roxas' idea to hunt whoever it was down and kick their ass." Riku said.
"Please Riku, I know you wanted to do the same thing." Kairi said, laughing at him. Riku huffed in annoyance.
Sora snickered, "Wasn't it Kairi who said one word and you wore all for coming here, hm Riku?"
Said silver haired teen glared, "No, you lazy idiot. Now shut up before I kick your ass."
"Why don't you both shut up so I can sleep." A voice behind Sora said, causing him to jump.
"What the hell have I told you about doing that, Roxas?" Sora yelled.
Riku laughed, getting up from the table as Kairi finished treating his wound, "Well if it isn't the Lazier of the two."
Roxas glowered at the taller teen, "You want to say that again or can we just skip to the part where I shove my Keyblade up your-"
Kairi let out an aggravated cry, "Can you all just stop arguing for ten minutes? Honestly, it's like dealing with a bunch of babies fighting over a toy."
At that, she stomped out of the room with a laughing Yuffie at her heels. The room was left in an uncomfortable silence.
AQUA TERRA POV
"Terra, are you sure that's Ventus?" Aqua whispered as the other three teens in the room argued.
Terra gave a look to the dirty blonde across the room, "Yes, I can sense it. They have the same aura."
"He doesn't seem to recognize us. He doesn't even seem the same." Aqua said.
She could feel the potion start to work. Most of the cuts and bruises were beginning to fade. The aching was also starting to go away but the large cut on here back was still throbbing like crazy.
She was brought away from her assessment as Terra put a hand on her shoulder, "It will be fine. Perhaps if we stick around we can find out what happened with Xehanort and maybe we can find a way to bring his memories back."
Aqua shook her head, "That's the thing, Terra. Ven shouldn't have a body. It should only be his heart. I hid his body before I was sent to the Realm of Darkness. No one should have been able to find his body nor should he have woken up. It doesn't make sense."
Terra was quiet for a moment. He really didn't know what to say. For the most part, he blamed himself for what happened to both Ventus and Aqua. If he had not given in to his darkness or to what Master Xehanort had told him then none of this would have happened.
"If I had not strayed from the light then none of this would have happened to you or Ventus." Terra muttered mostly to himself, resting his hands on the bed, next to Aqua.
"Don't think like that. It is all in the past." She said, putting her hand on Terra's, "The point is that we are now together and we are going to find a way to bring back Ven. You two are all I have left and I don't want to lose it, not again."
He smiled down at her, "I know."
"Hey," The two looked up at the owner of the new voice.
ROXAS POV
Roxas had long given up the pointless insulting for a nap on one of the infirmary beds. Of course the other two were making it nearly impossible to sleep. He let out a groan as Sora, yet again, yelled various insults that had little to no meaning at all. He sat up on the bed and let his eyes wonder around the room. His sight landed on the two older teens. He didn't know what it was about them but he somehow felt he recognized them despite the fact that the one had attacked Sora. Ignoring the two glaring boys, he walked over to the forgotten pair. They hadn't seemed to have noticed him yet.
"Hey." He said.
"Hello," the girl replied.
"Sorry about the two idiots. I know they can get pretty loud. Aqua, right?" he asked, to which he was replied with a nod, "How are you feeling? If you're in pain then I know a really good potion to help with it. Probably help put you to sleep with no problem."
The girl smiled at him, "Thank you but I'm alright. What about you?"
At that, he smirked, "Please, nothing could injure me."
A loud clank echoed around the room, as a plastic bottle connected with the back of his head. He turned around, black coat flying around his legs, glaring at the whistling brunette.
"Do you want me to shove that down your throat?" He threatened, then turned back to the two, "See, nothing can hurt me."
Roxas looked over to the laughing bluenette, "You seem to be very close with your friends. We had a pretty brief introduction before. My name is Aqua and this is Terra."
Said brunette gave a slight smile, "Nice to meet you."
"I'm Roxas. The short brunette girl from before was Kairi. The idiot is Sora." Roxas said, pointing to the smaller boy who promptly gave a loud 'Hi' and a wave, "And the other idiot with white hair would be Riku. Sorry about the confusion earlier. You just look a lot like this guy we had fought not too long ago."
"It's fine. We had the same mistake with your friend Sora." Terra said with a shrug.
To that, Roxas gave a grim smile, "Yeah, I know. Listen just because I am talking to you now and being all friendly doesn't mean I trust you."
The two nodded as Sora walked up to the three with Riku trailing slowly behind him, "So, what are you all doing on Hollow Bastion?"
"Way to be polite." Riku mumbled.
Aqua smiled, "Its fine. You see, we're looking for our friend. I think we found him but he doesn't remember us."
Sora frowned, "Oh that must be ruff. Roxas lost his memory as well a while ago but he got some of it back."
Terra nodded giving a look to Aqua, "What about you? What are you doing here?"
"Sora was attacked by some guy. We came here to see if Tron knows anything about him." Roxas informed them glaring at Sora for giving away his personal business to people he didn't trust, "The guy was wearing a mask and some weird outfit so neither of us got a look at him."
Aqua gave a look to Terra then back at Roxas and Sora, "When you say mask and weird outfit, what do you mean."
Roxas shrugged, "I don't really know. It was mostly red and black."
"Did he tell you his name?" Terra asked.
Riku snorted, "The dweeb was too preoccupied getting his ass kicked to get a name."
It was then that Kairi, followed closely by Yuffie, came into the room. The two carried a bundle of blankets and pillows in each of their hands.
"Stop arguing and give us a hand with these." Yuffie called out putting her stack on one of the beds, "It will be getting dark soon and I am fairly certain you guys are in no condition to do anything at the moment. Kairi already told me what's up but Cid will be on the computer for a while looking up the damage to the town. You can talk to Tron in the morning."
Kairi, putting her arm full down next to the other, grabbed a blanket and pillow and set it up on the bed closest the door. Sora and Riku walked over to the stacks, grabbing a pillow and blanket each then promptly picked the beds furthest apart from the other. With a roll of his eyes, Roxas grabbed two sets of each and walked back over to the older teens.
"Here but don't take this the wrong way. I am just being nice so that our two groups can get along." he held out his arms for the two to take.
With a quick 'thanks', Terra grabbed them and set up the Bed Aqua was lying on then the one next to it.
"Well, I guess we will be seeing each other in the morning." Roxas said before turning to the bed with a jumping Sora.
"Don't you need a blanket too, Roxas?" Aqua asked, sitting up in bed.
He shrugged, "No, I usually just sleep in Sora's mind. If I'm we're separated for too long then we usually get weak. I really don't want to risk being weak with all of these heartless running around."
"Oh." Was her reply, "Why do you have to be with him so much? I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude."
"No, it's fine." he said with a smile but quickly covered it up, "You see, I'm Sora's nobody. Uh, you probably don't even know what that is." He said, scratching the back of his head as the two shook their heads, "Well, a nobody is the leftover of a person with a very strong heart and will but lost their heart and became a heartless. But Sora was turned back from a heartless with the help of the princess of heart. Usually nobodies don't have feelings but since Sora was not a heartless for long I did not take all that was left of him so our heart essentially split in to two and we are connected with each other's emotions and what not. Well, I'm tired. I will see you tomorrow."
"Goodnight." Aqua said quietly as Roxas walked back to Sora.
Frowning slightly, he sat on the bed next to the still jumping brunette. He honestly couldn't think of why he told them all of that. He didn't even know those people so why would he tell them his private business as if they had been close. He looked up at the laughing boy, bouncing on the bed.
"That's enough! It's time to go to bed! I'm fucking exhausted!" he yelled, standing up and grabbing his other by the shirt, yank him down, "I am going to sleep and if you make one more sound I will glue you to this bed then wrap your head in duct tape, got it!"
Sora pouted but gave a nod. With a slight flash, Roxas disappeared. Contrary to his, only moments ago, hyper attitude Sora was out almost immediately after resting his head on the pillow.
