Chapter 3- Namine's shadows lie as he slowly drowns in happiness.

Sora's been behaving just the way I've wanted him to. But not good enough! He's been walking around the mansion, but he hadn't been outside of it, and he hadn't mentioned a word of it either. But mentioning him, where exactly is he?

"Sora? Sora? Where'd you go?" I call out, but only hear my echoing voice come back at me.

I search the library, the garden, and when I past the double sided stairs one more time, i heard a voice coming from the art room. He msut've been up there all this time. I hurry my thin legs up the staircase and towards the art room. His back was turned towards me but when I stepped close to him I stopped to stare he was mumbeling words, not even noticing me. So I walk around him, so I can look him in his eyes. They were empty and cold, he was staring straight into the forest outside of the window. "Sora?" I wave my hand in his face to gain his attention.

Sora's hand snatched mine immeadiatly as he seemed to be staring at me, but not directly looking me in the eyes. His lips parted, " Your breath means cool room chill, long hair that blows side to side, you speak which makes time stand still, and here you stand with violet eyes."

That was not a good sign, my eyes are blue, Kairi's are violet. I laugh nervously, "Sora, snap out of it, I have blue eyes, silly!" I part our fingers that had intertwined when he mentioned the violet eyes.

"Of course." He shook his head and looked up at me. "I'm sorry, I was just day dreaming a little, I guess...it was kind of bizzare though." He shook his head once more and then turned to look at all the pictures. "You know, my favorite picture is this somehow." He pointed at my goal! It was Roxas.

I close the window he was looking out of, you could see the forest very well from here. So if some animal, or partiers were walking through it, I'd notice.

-Kairi's an easy target.

I have a mission! It's to find Sora, no matter how hard I'll have to try. But I didn't think it would look like this exactly...the picture of me in a dark forest all alone, in the freezing cold, with no food or water, and especially no civilization near me whatsoever. But I guess people have been through worse than I have. I mean, I'm kind of clumsy and all, so this is harder than it seems.

After a long hike through the woods, my feet hurt, and I feel raindrops falling down. I should just face the fact that I'm lost! I slump down below a willow tree for rest.

Finding Sora is much harder than I thought. "Where the hell can he be?! He probably got lost. I shouldn't be talking, I don't even know where I am!" I laugh out loud to myself as my eyes drift here and there while the rain pores down onto my skin violently. What if he got killed and burried right where I am, right beneath me! I'd feel like a fool then. I must be going crazy in this dark place.

SNAP!

"AHHH!" I scream, a huge tree branch had fallen right in front of me, almost slamming onto my ankels! Is it thunder? Lightning? No, it was a some kind of beam, the tree branch must've been loose before. When I hear another beam, I jerk upwards, it hit right above my head. Were hunters out at this hour? WHY is it shoting a me? "HEY! I'M NOT A DEER!" I shout out into the night, that only gave me another response by shot. What the hell?! Is someone inteding on killing me? I spring up and run, sprint farther, but the shots were only coming closer and closer towards me. No matter how far I run away from it, somehow i came closer to it.

My whole entie body was soaked and my red hair came in the way of my face while I was trying to run away.

"LEAVE ME ALONE! IT'S NOT FUNNY!" I scream running faster, "AHHHHHHH!" The ground under my feet disappeared.

I was falling.

But not for long, I hit the ground and I swear I could feel the blue color of my bruise that it gave me on my arm and thigh. I didn't want to move, didn't want to get up, I just wanted to stay right here, alone and forgotten, jeez, I wanted to DIE! But then I remembered why I was out here in the first place anyways. That gave me the strenght to get up and conquer my beam firing stalker. My fall was about 15 feet, and stalker couldn't be far behind. In fact, when I got up and looked, there he/she was. Standing there innocently. In a black cloak. lovely, some maniac walking through the forest in a black cloak firing beams where they please.

My stalker pointed a gigantik Key- SORA?! It could only be him, that's his keyblade!

"Sora, what're you doing in those clothes?" I shout up to him.

"Sora? Who is that?" They replied.

That wasn't Sora, it was not his voice, it sounded more like me! It was a girl!? "Who're you?" I say concerned, not trusting whoever it was.

The girly voice pulled down her hood and revealed, my face! Only, she had blue eyes and black hair, and the same hairstyle I had before I grew it out. She was my age and holding the same posture as me when she pointed her Keyblade at me.

"My name is Xion."

"Well, Xion, why the hell were you shooting at me?!" I yell at her. She smirked pointing her keyblade at me, more focused this time.

"You're not with the organization are you? I've seen you walk around here, looking lost. SO I decided to at least, get you out of the forst!" She smiled at me brightly, the same exact smile Sora always gave me.

WHAT'S her problem."By almost killing me, and scaring me to death?!"

"Hey, it worked, didn't it?" She shrugged, turning away.

"WAIT! Where are you going?" I yell after her. I climb clumsily back up the hill that I've fallen off of and try to find her again. But too late, she was gone already."How weird..."I say to myself.

"What's weird?" A voice cam up from behind me.

I shriek looking behind me, it was Xion again. So she hadn't left yet. I felt a little stupid now, "Hey, will you help me?," I pause, then hesitate remembering, "but not by shooting at me this time please!"

She shook her head."I need to get back to work, so I can show you tomorrow." She grinned widely.

"But, I'm not going to stay here for a whole entire day! I don't have anywhere to sleep. I'm hungry, I'm drenched in rain, and you can't possibly expect me to lay down in the wet mudd!" I screech at her. Wow, I seemed like a whiny brat for the first time in my life.

She waved me off rolling her eyes. " Go find a cave or something, princess."

I pursed my lips. Looking at the ground, kicking a rock. I'm about to act stubborn, rude, and ready to kill and fry her if she's not about to show me around. "Give me directions!"

But no, she this time, vanished and ran off for sure. I guess I have no other choice.

Finding Sora needs to be turned into a scavenger hunt.
