After quite some time, the others had fallen asleep.

Reki, however, couldn't sleep at all.

All the things that have been happening to her were swirling around in her mind.

What did it all mean?

Why did it have something to do with her?

She didn't get it.

Restlesstly tossing and turning to try and sleep, she found out it was no use.Once again, she decided to get some fresh air. She quietly tiptoed through the bodies on the ground, turned Gatekeeper into a metal bracelet, and slowly creaked the gate open. To her surprise, there was someone sitting down, the pale moonlgiht illuminating his features.

"Sora?" She blurted out. Realizing who it really was, she covered her mouth in embarrasment and apology, glowing a faint red. "Oh, er, um, sorry."

He chuckled slightly.

"Sorry to dissapoint you, but no."

"Roxas, how long have you been out here?" She took a seat next to him.

"Well, for a couple of hours now. I couldn't sleep."

"Me too. I've been having weird dreams and occurences lately. I just can't keep up with it."

"What sort of occurences? I thought you told us all about yourself earlier. "

"Eh, er um, well...I don't know how to explain this, but if I told you guys the whole truth, you wouldn't believe me, you'd probably laugh."

"Go on, I promise I won't laugh."

Reki thought about it for awhile.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

Reki told him almost everything, how she jumped into the darkness, her family problems, her love for Sora, reliving her painful memories, about Gatekeeper, Riku, DiZ, everything.

When she finished, he heard Roxas whisper,

"Unbelieveable."

"What's so unbelieveable about it?"

"Well, you see...I didn't think it was possible, but..you're one of the people in my dreams."

"Uh..what?"

"I see you in my dreams. With Sora, Riku, and Kairi. I wasn't sure if you were really the Reki from my dreams, but now that you've told me everything, I can't believe you actually are."

"So...wait a minute..you knew everything I just told you right then and now?"

"Mhmm, but I asked you tell me just to make sure it was really you."

Reki chuckled.

"Well, to tell you the truth, I thought you looked exactly like him when I first got here."

"Like who?"

"Sora."

His crystal blue eyes widened, making her and the moonlight reflect off of his eyes.

Reki smiled sheepishly.

"Yeah. This can't be more than coincidence, right?"

"Yes. Definitely not."

Reki sighed, and began to look at the moon once again. She muttered,

"I'm pathetic."

"Hm? What was that?"

She shook her head.

"Nothing."

He leaned back against the wall.

"If you say so."

"Hey, thanks for listening to me, I really appreciate it."

"No problem. Besides, that's what friends are for, right?"

Reki smiled.

"Of course. Well," Reki stood up, "We better get back to bed. I think I can finally go to sleep now."

Roxas stood up as well.

"Yeah. Me too."

"Hey..Reki?" Roxas said hesitantly.

Reki turned around.

"What is it?"

"Er..um, nothing. Goodnight."

She flicked her hand into a wave, Gatekeeper proudly shining in the moonlight.

"Night."

"I don't think so."

Roxas and Reki turned around. A man with a black cloak was behind them.

"Riku?"

A sharp voice replied back.

"Who the hell's that?"

The guy removed his hood, revealing firey-red spikey hair, piercing teal eyes, and an arrogant cocky expression in his face.

"Name's Axel. A-X-E-L. Got it memorized?"

Roxas got in front of Reki.

"Stay behind me."

"Ah, what do we have here?" Axel stepped forward. "Roxas, Roxas, Roxas. How ya been?"

Roxas looked puzzled.

"Er..do I know you from somewhere?"

Axel dramatically pulled back.

"You don't remember?"

"How am I supposed to know?"

"So...you really have forgotten."

"What the hell are you talking about!?!?" Roxas yelled, his anger slowly rising.

Axel shrugged at himself and sighed.

"Well, I wish it didn't come to this, but," He took out two chakrams, which began to blaze with fire. "Orders are orders."

Roxas looked frantically for any type of weapon, trying to get out of the tight situation. As his eyes averted in every direction, he didn't notice Reki dash past him.

Axel's face widened with surprise.

"Holy shi-"

Reki kept on running towards him, whipping out Gatekeeper into a sword. However, Axel easily blocked the attack, pushing her back to her originial location. She landed with a loud thud, which caught Roxas's attention.

"Reki! Don't! You'll get yourself hurt!"

Reki wiped the dirt off her face, and got back up again, ignoring his comment. She lunged once again at Axel, changing it now into it's normal form [A/N: Normal form is the staff which Reki chose in the realm during Chapter 6

"Don't think the same thing's going to work-"

Axel was interrupted by a violent smack to his face by, causing him to slam down to the floor.

Reki pulled back, a little surprised that she actually landed a hit on him.

He stood up, and wiped the blood from his face.

"Lucky strike."

Lunging at her, Reki stood her ground, and transformed her weapon into a shield. The tension was high, as she prayed for another lucky strike, the two weapons silently clashed with each other. Mustering all the strength she could, she pushed him back, which made him tipsy. Knowing this was an opening, she came at him.

Running towards him, she now changed it into a ring, which she threw at him while he was still off-guard. Barely having any time to block, he nimbly rolled over to the side, summoning fire to the two of them. Reki braced for the impact, but strangely, they weren't going for her.

"Roxas, look out!"

"Wha?"

It was too late. The flames knocked him cold, making his limp body land violently on the ground. She ran over to him, desperately slapping him awake.

"Roxas! Roxas! Wake up!"
