Alright now I just want to give everyone a heads up. This chapter...is bad. I had a lot of trouble writing it. Not because of writers block, but because Rixka was teamed with Lexaeus in this one. I'm really sorry for not doing better. I hope you still enjoy it. I promise to work even harder on my next chapter.

Rixka had been awake for some time now and had been wandering about. Axel had been right. She needed to learn the layout of this place. She just hoped she didn't have a mission so she could do it today. But it seemed Saix had other plans for her today…

She glanced up at him as he put a hand on her shoulder. "There you are. I've been looking for you for quite some time now. Lexaeus has been waiting for you as well. Come with me now." He said and turned the opposite way she had been going.

Rixka sighed but obediently followed him. Exploring would just have to wait till later… Not that there seemed to be much to explore. As they entered the main room, Rixka saw a tall, muscular man with short, brown hair, leaning against a wall. His arms were crossed and he looked annoyed…

"Oh please don't be like that other big guy…" She thought to herself as she followed Saix up to him.

"Here she is, Lexaeus. Go on with your mission now. You'll be going to Twilight Town." Saix said, and then left them.

Lexaeus said nothing as he shrugged away from the wall. He opened a portal and stepped through, Rixka following behind.

When they emerged in Twilight Town, it was not where Rixka had been her first time there. They appeared to be in a market place. There were shops all around, yet no people. That was probably a good thing for the time being.

As Lexaeus walked on, Rixka made sure to stay close. She didn't know this place at all… Hadn't paid much attention to it her first time there. She made sure to pay attention this time. She wanted to know her way around for her next mission here.

They soon came to a large area where a very big building sat with a clock tower. She looked up at, stopping where she was and just stared for a bit. When she lowered her gaze to see where Lexaeus had gone, she found herself alone. She was not completely alone though. There was Shadow heartless all around.

"Uh oh…." She said, stepping back a little. Where had Lexaeus gone? He had been there a moment ago… He wasn't there now though, leaving Rixka unprotected with all these little black heartless.

The heartless suddenly flattened out and came toward her. She squeaked and stumbled back further, crossing her arms in front of her to fend off any attack. As she crossed her arm, a black fog formed around her hands. She blinked in confusion staring at the fog and felt something touching her palms. Gripping the object tightly, the fog disappeared, showing two wicked looking scythes made completely out of bone, besides the blades, with a skull at the top of each where the blades protruded.

As the Shadows reemerged, Rixka quickly uncrossed her arms, slashing at their chest. She smiled as the ones that were hit faded away, and proceeded to slash at the other. She was only able to land a few more hits before a huge tomahawk crashed down on the rest. She looked up seeing Lexaeus.

"Time to go." He said, shouldering the giant weapon.

Rixka nodded and looked at her weapons. Ok…she had them…now how did she make them go away… She didn't need them anymore after all so there was no point in keeping them out. Though it was nice to have them… She felt a lot safer knowing she wasn't completely defenseless anymore.

Lexaeus began walking as his weapon disappeared from his hand. Rixka blinked, watching him. "How the heck did he do that? *sigh* I don't need them anymore, so just go away…. Ok?" She thought, deciding it was worth a shot to just will them away. It proved successful too as the scythes disappeared into black fog. Smiling, feeling accomplished, Rixka followed Lexaeus through a portal, emerging back at the main room

She wanted to tell Axel the great news….but uh…where was he? She looked around the room, frowning as she saw a few people, but not the familiar red head. She stopped looking for him and narrowed her eyes at the ground. Why did she want to tell Axel…? Maybe it was because, aside from Saix, Axel was the only person she really knew… She had really spent the most time with him.

"Even the weirdest people can grow on you, I suppose…" She thought, walked over to an empty couch and sitting down. She squeaked as someone sat down beside her. Looking up, she found it to be a boy with strange blonde hair.

"Hey, Rixka! Remember me?" He asked, pouting as she shook her head. "Well darn. Axel told me you remembered him. But not me? Oh well. I'm Demyx."

She stared at him for a minute. She did kinda remember him…but not very well. He leaned in pretty close to her, causing her to lean away and avert her gaze.

"Not gonna say anything? I heard you were talking a whole bunch now. It's ok, you can talk to me. I don't bite. Promise." He said, smiling kindly at her. She remained silent though, scooting away from him a little. He crossed his arms and pouted. "Humph. Well I guess only Axel has the pleasure to hear you speak. How unfair. Well, I guess I'll just leave you alone then. Bye, Rixka." Demyx stood and left her alone.

She sat there a while, waiting for Axel to return. He never showed though. Sighing, Rixka decided to stop wasting her time and just go to bed. She could tell him another time. She'd also have to tell him she could find her room on her own now. Though, knowing him, he'd complain that he couldn't go to her room with her anymore. He'd just have to deal with. She went to her and closed the door. As she lay in bed, she couldn't help but fall asleep with a smile on her face.
