"Xiro, is forever possible?" Her voice rang in the night filled room.
A small smile formed on his face as he pulled her closer. "We're immortal, anything is possible for us."
He didn't need to open his eyes to know that her red eyes were giving his a look of disbelief. He simply ran his fingers through her curly hair and planted a kiss on her forehead.
"I'm only asking because forever together as a family would probably be the best thing to happen." Her words caused his dark eyes to fly open and look at her with plate sized eyes.
"What?" He asked softly.
A bright smile formed on her lovely lips as she nodded. "Yeah."
Memories of joy filled his chest as he planted more kisses on her face. Something he had thought impossible was happening. He was never letting this wonderful woman go. She was his everything.

"Somethings wrong!" She cried out weeks later in the night.
Xiro rushed to her side. "What happened?"
"I went to that crazy world to get that Queen's heart. The Heartless wanted it so bad…." She tried to explain but a wave of pain stole her voice.
"Please tell me you're alright!" He demanded taking her face in his hands, before his eyes found her hands holding her side.
He pulled them away and found a large cut from her side to nearly the middle of her stomach. Dread filled him as she suddenly became paler and her eyes hazed over. He caught her in his arms.
"Why isn't the Darkness healing you?" He asked himself holding her as close as possible.
Swirls of Darkness formed around her body, and before he could protest she was removed from his embrace.
"You can't take her away!" He shouted before starting to throw things around the small place they had called home.

There was an unsteady beeping sound, mixed with small whispers when she opened her eyes a young boy with white hair sat on the side of her bed.
"How are you feeling today?" He asked softly.
"Better, but Doctor said I have to stay in bed still." She whispered.
He frowned for a moment before jumping off the bed and bring a book over from her shelf. "Then, I'll spend the day reading to you!"
"You don't have to do that." She carefully pulled herself into a sitting position.
His bright eyes lightened the cold feeling in her body. "I want to."

"What happened?" Xiro yelled releasing Vanitas and taking hold of Raven.
"More like what did you do?!" Vanitas accused.
Xiro's dark eyes glared into the amber colored ones, showing that he truly had no idea what was going on.
"Unlike a normal Heartless Guardian she got to keep her heart." Xiro explained suddenly. "I'm not sure if it was because of her fragile health from when she was human or what but something seemed to cause her heart to react."
While Xiro tended to Raven Vanitas sent several text messages to his friends before finding a piece of a broken chair.
Taking it into his hand, he approached the Nobody Guardian from behind before taking a good swing to knock him out.
"Tch." Vanitas growled dragging Xiro off of Raven. "You shouldn't just share random information."
He picked up Raven in his arms before using the Corridor of Darkness to go back to his friends, who were all worried about Raven.
"Is she alright?" Kairi asked him once he stepped out of the corridor.
He shrugged the best he could. "Namine, could you check out her hearts memories?" He asked looking at the blonde girl.
She looked unsure about it before taking in all of Raven's appearance. "Yes, I can do that when we get back to Riku's."

Namine sat beside Raven's bed side while drawing in her art book. She didn't go for anything detailed, just quick and simple ones for now. There wasn't as many as there should have been. Worry filled her heart when she realized that Raven only had about a year's worth of memories.
A soft knock came from the door way, pulling Namine out of her haze. "What's wrong?" Roxas asked leaning on the door way.
He could always read her the best out of all their friends. She clung to her art book, trying to find the right words to tell him about Raven's odd condition because she knows she never touched Raven's memories, so there shouldn't be any missing.
"She's only got a year's worth of memory." She said finally.
He frowned as his brain tried to take in this news. "Okay, are you sure they aren't locked away?"
Namine shrugged gently. "I don't know, it seems like something happened to cause her to loss all of her memories."
The blonde man didn't say anything just came and took the woman into his arms as she tried to figure things out. None of it made sense yet somehow seemed normal.
"Aqua is making some food, you should eat." He said after a while.
She nodded and got up. Leaving her art book beside Raven.

Everyone sat around in Riku's living room, waiting for some sign that Raven was going to wake up. Without any paper work they couldn't take her to the hospital without strange questions being raised.
"This is too stressful." Sora groaned rubbing his head.
Kairi took his hand in hers. "All we can do is wait." She said softly.
He leaned his head on her shoulder while Riku paced the hallway outside the living room.
No one had been able to get him to sit down for more than a couple minutes at a time, even then he bounced his foot up and down in an annoying fashion that pacing was better than tapping.
"Namine is working on Raven's memories more, but it would seem that Raven only has a year's worth." Roxas explained coming down from upstairs.
After eating dinner, Namine had set back to work trying to dig deeper into the Guardian's heart to get more memories from it. She would call them up if she found anything out.
"Why is this so hard?" Ven asked looking at Vanitas, who sat in the bay window looking at the nighttime sky.
"She's kinda like us." Was the dark man's answer.
He didn't have to explain how Raven was like them. She was lost and they all found her and took her in. She was kind and bright even though there was a darkness to her light. She was a simple person to be around even though you hardly knew anything about her.
"Let's just hope she's okay." Aqua had the most hope in her voice out of everyone in the room.
