They all turned to see who had spoken, "oh, I almost forgot, this is Zeoshi." Iris responded, and Leon squinted his eyes, "you look a lot like Zashi…" He sat down away from the group, "like who?" Iris turned to him, "Zashi was a good friend of mine…" A smirk appeared on Zeoshi's face, "like a boyfriend?" She panicked, "no, more like…a boy who is a friend." He repeated himself, making Iris blush, but she spoke up, "no, not like that at all…he loves Marlena anyway." Zeoshi became interested, "Marlena…I've heard that name before somewhere too…I don't know where, but somewhere…"
Suddenly, Leon got to his feet and placed his hand on Iris' and he dragged her outside and shut the door behind them, "How does Zeoshi know about Marlena if they have never met?" Iris turned away for a moment, "its because Zeoshi is Zashi's Nobody, I guess he can still recall some of Zashi's memories…" Leon looked off into the distance, then back to Iris, "That is quite the problem…it seems like Zeoshi is becoming more like Zashi, and if that's true…then Zashi must still be alive somewhere, or at least his heart would be intact…" Iris nodded, "I know that already…that's why I need to get to Kingdom Hearts to find a way to put Zeoshi and Zashi together again…" Leon looked back to Iris, "that reminds me, Sora also said something about having a Nobody and looking for him…" "I know who that is now!" Iris said loudly, "when Zeoshi and I were in the old castle, we came across a teenager with Sora's eyes, but I couldn't place it until you said something!" Leon nodded his head, "that's good news for Sora, since the more the Nobody exists, it will have more memories, and Sora might be gone forever." With that, they walked back into the small house.
"What were you two talkin' about outside?" Zeoshi was the first to speak, "just a few pressing matters…" Leon responded, taking his place leaning against the wall, "how do you intend to pass between worlds while the barrier is still in place?" Aerith asked the both of them, and Zeoshi proudly spoke up, "Well, I can use the power of Darkness and create holes between the worlds." Aerith closed her eyes as she spoke, "you must be very careful when dealing with Darkness… if you are not careful, it will consume your heart." Zeoshi shrugged his shoulders, "yea I know, but it's a lot faster than taking a Gummi ship." Leon moved away from the wall, "listen you two need to get on your way to Kingdom Hearts…" Iris nodded and got to her feet, and Zeoshi reluctantly did the same.
Moving towards the door, Zeoshi grabbed the door handle and opened it, letting himself out, "Good bye…" Iris said, waving her hand before she left the house behind Zeoshi. "Well…now what?" Zeoshi asked, turning back to Iris, who put a hand on her chin in thought, "I don't really know…" Zeoshi started walking down the alleyway, which interrupted Iris and she followed after him, they seemed to wander forever in the city until they came to a fountain and decided to take a rest. "Aw…it seems the little children are lost…" A male voice came over the air, the pair quickly looked around, but saw no one, until the personage appeared in front of them, dressed in a black cloak like theirs. "Who are you?" Zeoshi stood to his feet and summoned his sword, however this didn't effect the personage at all, "well, you sure have a temper…" with that, the figure lifted his hands to the hood and removed it to reveal fire red hair that spiked in all directions, crystal blue eyes and a grin on his face. However the grin faded when he saw Iris, "Hey! You're the little girl that turned tail and fled the Organization!" Iris slowly got to her feet and starred into the man's face.
"Axel?" She asked, however Axel's anger melted away, "you…remember me?" She nodded and got to her feet, "How could I forget you? You were the loudest of the bunch…" This brought a smile to his face, "girl listen…now that you're here again, you need to watch for back for a guy named Xemnas." Zeoshi was confused, "who is Xemnas?" Axel rolled his eyes and turned to face him, "X-E-M-N-A-S. Xemnas, the leader of the Nobody, got it memorized?" Iris became concerned, "wait…is Xemnas the first Nobody I met?" Axel simply shook his head, "you mean inside Castle Oblivion? No way, that was the punk Riku…Or maybe it was Marluxia…" Axel shook his head, "listen, they are going after the Keyblade master and his Nobody and are on the look for a special Heartless…" "Special Heartless?" Iris repeated, then her eyes shot open, "they must be looking for Zashi!" "Yeah, some kid got wiped out by the Darkness, but we think if we can get both the Nobody and the Heartless we might find a way to get our hearts back…"
