My Own Lost World

Ch 12

Hallow and Alone

A/N: Sorry it took so long to update!!!!!!! I just wanted to say that in all this time, I forgot to acknowledge all of my awesome and wonderful reviewers!!! Thanks to Winged Guardian, SpringBorn, Skittlelious Love, Yorukifon, and XRarityoftearsX. You guys are awesome!!!!

If nothing had ever happened, if Roxas hadn't faded and Sora hadn't 'woken up', I don't think I would have believed in things like heartless, Nobodies, and other worlds.

Now I beg to defer.

I was currently sitting in a chair inside a big red thingy Sora and the others call a 'Gummi Ship'. In my opinion, it was a huge head of metal that could fly, and is nowhere near a squishy candy. When I stated it, Sora laughed at me. The nerve!!!! The insanely cute brunette nerve…Gah!!!! I needed to get a grip!!!

How can I think about how cute and sweet and innocent Sora is when I was still grieving about losing Roxas when we were so close to a relationship? I mean really, was I insane?!

I twirled the dolphin necklace between my thumb and forefinger, thinking about how cold the blue orb in the middle felt. I was over struck. I missed my buddy so much. I still remembered the last day before things went wrong. We had fallen over in laughter and confusion to many times to count. And now, my best friend wasn't around to comfort me anymore.

I looked up at Sora, and immediately noticed the similarities between him and my blond friend I knew over my summer.

I wanted to brawl my eyes out, but it felt like here in front of my three new friends would have been to crowded. Sora explained how long space travel could take, and he said it would take about ten hours to get to our next world.

"Sora?"

He turned to me quizzically.

"Yeah?"

"I'm going to rest for a little bit. Wake me up if I'm still asleep when we get there, ok?" I asked.

He nodded, his eyes seeming to look right through my emotional façade. Roxas used to do the same thing. I lay down, thinking. Remembering.

FLASH.

I then turned to Roxas. "Ignore him. You can call me Aqua." I told him.

He smiled at me. My stomach fluttered. We both blushed. Well, at least, I did.

"I'm gonna go taunt your victory at Seifer! See ya!"

Hayner ran off, followed by Pence Olette.

I just stood there, staring at Roxas as he stared back at me.

I inwardly sighed. This summer might be a little bit more…complicated, then I thought it would.

~*~

I was only half listening to my brothers annoying voice as he raved over something or another that Seifer did. I was looking over at Roxas, who was looking down at his hands, deep in thought.

This bothered me. What was wrong?

"Roxas?" I whispered.

He looked up, as if just realizing where he was. He looked over at me, to see me watching him. He attempted one of his trademark sheepish smiles, but it didn't quite make the mark.

~*~

"Maybe we could find the real thieves…"I started.

"…That would set the record straight!" Roxas finished for me.

See? What did I tell you? He can read my mind.

"Yeah! And one more thing; It's really weird when you two do that, when twins only do that, and your not twins." Hayner replied.

I looked at Roxas, and he looked at me. We both shrugged.

~*~

"Hey Buddy?" I said.

Roxas looked over at me.

"What?" He asked.

"Some pretty weird stuff is going on around here, huh?" I said.

He nodded. "Yeah. Like the thieves and me losing the munny."

I leaned closer. "I ment your actions and your distance. What's wrong, Roxas? I can tell something is bugging you, and it's killing me that you aren't telling me."

"Oh…That…" He trailed. "I've been having weird dreams lately. About a kid who looks like me. His name is Sora."

I paused to think.

He looked up at me.

"Do you think im crazy?" He asked.

I shoke my head.

"No Roxas. No matter how stupid you act, or how wild or quiet you are, you could never be crazy to me. You're my best friend. Besides, if you're crazy, that must mean that im nuts."

~*~

Still holding on tightly to the bag, Roxas tried to stoop the bag of attacking terror.

Yeah, not working to well. He was being dragged around, and despite myself, I fell flat on my butt and laughed uncontrollably.

I couldn't help it. It was just too dang funny.

I laughed even harder when we found out what was inside the bag.

A dog. Golden Retriever, from the look of things.

"It wasn't that funny!" Roxas scolded me.

I was still surrounded by my bubble of giggle fits, and had no room to talk.

I nodded instead, trying and failing miserably to get my laughter back under control.

"S-S-S-Sorry!!!" I managed to get out.

And guess what?

Despite himself, Roxas started laughing as hard as I did.

"I-I-I m-must have looked s-so s-s-s-stupid!" We both fell into fits of laughter.

Still laughing, Roxas sat down next to me and I leaned my head on his shoulder, still giggling.

~*~

"Buddy? You okay?"

He looked up at me with tired eyes, then back at the pod that had just started opening.

A boy of fifteen, wearing too small clothes and had brunette hair.

"Sora…" Roxas started. "Your lucky."

Roxas turned to me again, rummaging through his front pocket and grabbing something in it. He gently toke my hand and placed the object neatly in my palm. He closed my fingers around it, and then met my eyes.

"Looks like my summer vacation is…over."

And just like that, Roxas disappeared into a flash of light, and I blacked out.

As if the memories pulled me, I drifted to sleep, one thought stuck on my mind.

***(Some Where)***

"Is there a reason why you didn't have Naminé erase her memory?"

"I believe there is a reason why she exist. And if he is going to leave the Organization, she may just be that key factor."

A man sat by a tattered computer, regretting his creation of the ruined world silently. "Aqua is a key part of this, Naminé has foreseen it. Sora can see right through her charade just as well as Roxas did. That has to be something."

The man stood and began to exit the room for the last time, his final decision finished. Things would just have to unfold the way they needed to, and he hoped Aqua could link the two safely. After all, she was the Guardian Chosen, even if she didn't know it.

**(Else Where)**

Thinks were quickly confusing. How had he left the first time? No wonder why they were after him. He would stay in hiding, although he was confused as anything.

Memories plagued him, and most consisted of a certain dirty blond female whose name he couldn't remember. He knew that there was supposed to be something that would jog his memory of her, but the thing was, she had it.

And that didn't help.

He supposed he would keep looking for her. And maybe, just maybe, he would find Sora and end this Nobody mess.

~*~

Dreams seemed useless, and I was violently shaken awake by a brunette who was urgently annoying me.

"Hmm?" I asked groggily.

"Wake up! We're here."

"Umgh."

He cocked his head at me, his expression humored.

"Do you always reply this way?" He asked.

"Ufph." I sat up and rubbed the back of my stiff neck, shooting him a death glare.

"Not like your much better, huh, Buddy?" I asked sarcastically, then instantly regretted it.

He raised an eyebrow at me as we got ready to enter the outside world.

"So you're calling me buddy now?"

I glared at him, turning away with a huff.

He laughed as we entered the new world.

"This place needs some reconstruction," I stated.

Donald and Goofy were walking ahead of me, Sora walking in the lead in front of the pack.

"This place is looking better than it first did," He muttered.

"Wow," I replied, looking around.

We 'argued' with a few heartless, and I found that I was actually getting a lot better with the whole 'ninja stars' thing.

"Hey you guys!" an overly pepped female voice called at us.

Sora looked up as he 'sheathed' his Keyblade.

"Yuffie!!" He called, waving.

She jumped from an above building and said something to him about a guy named Leon, then she ran off, muttering about meeting at a dude named Cids house.

Sora led the way, and we found ourselves inside a cluttered group of chambers.

Yuffie jumped at use and said cheerfully, "Meet the Hallow Bastion Restoration Committee!"

A female wearing mainly pink with braids in her hair turned to us, clasping her hands.

"We missed you!" She exclaimed.

I stood in the background as Sora and the others conversed. Yuffie handed the three cards claiming that they were a gift. Sora, Donald and Goofy became official members of the Restoration Committee.

Yuffie turned to me. "We didn't know you would be with them, since we never met before, but the next time you visit, we will be sure you have a card, too!" She said.

I smiled at her and nodded. As if on que, a distance away, we heard a crash.

I turned to Sora.

"I take it that's not a good sign," I said dryly.

"Nope," He replied as we started to run towards the balconies where we heard the crash.

A/N: Sorry if it seems a little short, but these days its kind of hectic to actually manage to post longer chapters. Im thinking that if I Take long periods of time to work on it, even with my over busy schedule, I might actually manage to get a few longer chapters down. Do you have any ideas or suggestions for me? If so, review or PM me and state your ideas. Thanks!!!
