I do not own Kingdom Hearts!

Darkness Over Truth, Truth Over Darkness -3-

Blue eyes opened themselves towards the world as a soft smile appeared on the owner's face. The girl then sat, letting her brown hair fall behind her as she stood up to face a blonde haired girl.

"Did you have a good rest, Yumi?" The said girl just smiled and nodded before coughing. It was one of those days when Yumi's morning will be filled with sore throats because of her illness. Namine could see the color of Yumi's usually rich brown hair started to lighten and worries for her health often but the older girl would just smile and tell her that she will be just fine.

"I'm fine, Namine. I've had a good rest. It's time for me to head towards the town again." Namine gazed worriedly towards the sad smiling Yumi and placed her hand on the older's.

"I'm here for you, Yumi… I promise I'll bring Sora back…"

"Thank you… Namine… but let me spend some more time with him… with Roxas." Yumi said as Namine hesitantly nodded. Yumi had been spending time with Roxas and his friends, even if DiZ and Namine had been trying to hold her back, but Yumi told them she needed to get to know his brother's 'nobody' as she herself might never get the chance to meet him the next time.

"Yumi… you should be positive! Sora and Rika wouldn't want to see you like this! Kairi too!"

"I wish there is something I could do about my illness too, Namine… but since I don't know anything at all about my own illness, I couldn't do anything. But I've been defying ever speculations people have been telling me. I've lived this far, haven't I? I'm not going to let this slow me down." Yumi said as she walked out from the gates of the old mansion as she walked towards the town known as Twilight Town.

"Over here Yumi!" Yumi looked towards the group of 4 and smiled happily towards them. At least, she could spend some time with them if the unwanted happens to her.

"Hey there, guys! Were you waiting for me?" Yumi said when she had finally reached the group that called her name.

"Of course we were! You're one of us, you know!" Hayner said as Pence shrugged his shoulders.

"More like you were the one insisting on waiting, you do remember she told us that she could find us if we decided to go ahead right?" Yumi watch with a smile as Hayner and Pence started bickering while Ollete sighed before trying pull them apart. Yumi then stood next to Roxas who smiled at her and the girl aches to see it, as it reminds her of her own brother's smile.

"How are you today, big sis?" She's been called big sis ever since she met then, except for Hayner of course, since he said that he's the leader thus even if she's older than him he ought to protect everyone, including her, which led to another squabble since Pence decided to tease him about crushing on Yumi.

"Woke up with another sore throat, but aside from that, I'm just fine." Roxas then frowned to Yumi who just smiled at the suspicious Roxas.

"So, we're going to the beach? That's great! Let's get some more munny then!" Yumi said, clasping her hand together in glee.

"Yumi's right! Let's get to work and earn some munny for us so we could go to the beach!" As Roxas and his friends went separate ways, excited for their upcoming trip to the beach and Yumi decided to turn back and went to their hideout. Yumi sat on one of the boxes, looking around the place Hayner had deemed as their hideout, it might be tattered and a bit messy, but Yumi could feel the happiness and childishness emitting from this place and she wished she could spend a time here soon with Riku, Sora and Kairi. Yumi then felt a pang on her head and she quickly cradles it, standing up and walking out from their hideout before someone blocked her way.

"Well well, lookie here, it's the sick girl!" Seifer said as his two followers laughed mockingly to Yumi who really isn't in a mood to handle their so called 'disciplinary committee' group.

"Excuse me, Seifer… but I really need to go."

"What? Did you forgot to bring your medicine?" Seifer taunted before she heard running steps from behind Sifer.

"Big sis!" Yumi quickly knew that voice and wished a fight wouldn't happen.

"So, the 'little brother' came to rescue his big sister, you guys really shouldn't bother yourself with someone as sickly as her, you might caught her germs." Seifer said, turning his back towards Yumi who felt her headaches worsened. Roxas, who saw Yumi cradling onto her head, knew that she is hurting and became angry. But before he could do anything, he saw Seifer yelling in pain and fell onto his knees.

"I really don't have the time to deal with you right now." Yumi said, hands still outstretched as Seifer stood up and was about to grab Yumi's hand before the girl kicked him and walked away, leaving Seifer and his gang stunned. Yumi then walked through Roxas and the latter turned towards her, eyes wide in shock.

"Goodbye… Roxas…" When Yumi had walked to the forest through a crack from the town, tears streamed down from her face. She had really done it this time, will there be anyone to help her handle her pain? It seemed and now is her time to rest inside the pod. She had to ask of Namine to put her in one, making her go through deep sleep. And she just hoped, hoped that she will wake up and be strong until she could finally meet her brother and her friends face to face once again.

"I'm so stupid…" Yumi then looked towards the mansion and smiled sadly.

"You'll woke up soon, right Sora? You might not know about Roxas, but take care of him. Don't get into trouble." Yumi said smiling brightly before her body started to glow and disappeared into the air. Namine, who realized what had happened to Yumi, dropped a tear as she looked out towards the window.

"… Riku will be very sad… but I hope… I hope he'll find her missing heart soon, wherever it might be…"

Somewhere between the worlds, a man with dark skin and white hair stood in his cloak as his hand held onto a feather shaped necklace which glowed brightly all of a sudden and the light died as quick as it came. The man then gritted his teeth and clutch the necklace tight and looked towards the sky.

"Wait for me, Yumi…"

I don't even have a clue what to write next... let's just wait until my mind works

I always don't feel good whenever I have piano course nowadays... it's probably because of the exam exactly two months from now...

So anxious... anxious anxious...
