Chapter 7: Investigation
"W-what? Are you serious!?" Roxas exclaimed in shock. "How could you draw someone you've never seen?"
"I don't know, at the time I was just having fun, but I look at them now and-" Sora started but was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Who could that be?" Riku asked wondering if Sora was expecting company.
"No clue." was his short reply as he got up and headed for the front door. 'Can't be mom, she would use her key. Also its way too early for her to be home' Sora thought as he came closer to the door.
He began to unlock the door as he asked "who's-" he couldn't finish due to the door flying open and knocking him on the floor. He was brought out of his confused daze by a familiar voice.
"Oh! Sora, I'm so sorry." it said as he felt someone run up and kneel beside him. He was a bit startled when he heard a second pair of feet run into the house and knelt on the other side of him.
There was a hand on both his shoulders and he was slowly and just barely being picked up. 'They're not very strong' Sora thought when he was repeatedly almost dropped back on the floor.
He was now in a sitting position and he glanced up to see a very worried red-head. "K-kairi!" he stuttered as he felt his face getting hotter. Her hazy blue eyes filled with concern.
"Are you okay?" a very low and shy voice asked behind the brunet. He turned and wondered if he was seeing things. There stood a girl wearing a milky white, no sleeve dress that stopped right above her knees.
"Na…mine? Is that y-you?" Sora spat out when he saw her. She gave him a shy smile and placed a hand on his forehead and pushed up his bangs. "What are you-…ow!" then he remembered being hit with the door.
"You should go put some ice on your nose before it starts to swell." she finally spoke up. "Yeah" Sora replied getting up and escorting them to the waiting Riku and…Roxas?
"Rox-" Kairi tried to ask but Namine beat her to it. "Roxas how did you…?" she paused unable to word her sentence correctly. "You too?" Roxas replied smirking, but Kairi and Riku could sense the shock and confusion in his voice.
Sora came walking in the room with and ice pack on his nose. "What happened to you?" Riku asked in an off hand manor. "Karma, maybe?" Roxas said chuckling.
"Oh shut up." Sora replied glaring at the blonde. Roxas held his arms in front of him as to defend himself from the brunet. "Hey I'm just saying." Roxas replied, still smiling.
"What are you two talking about?" Kairi asked for the group, who just watched them confused. "When we got here Sora fell asleep and when I tried to wake him his fist made contact with my face." Roxas explained.
"Oohhh…" the whole group said at the same time before falling silent.
"Which reminds me…" Roxas continued "Namine I speak to you… in private?" he asked looking around the room at everyone. "S-sure" she replied, blushing slightly. The two nobodies walked out of the room and into the kitchen where they knew they wouldn't be heard.
"So what do you want to talk about?" she asked with a sweet smile. Roxas' eyes widened and he looked away as he told her. "I need you to do me a favor…if you could." Namine made a quick gesture as she put her hand, partially in a fist, to her chin for a silent laugh. She thought it was cute when Roxas looked like that.
"What do you need?" she finally asked. "I need…you to… look into Sora's… memories." he replied eyes slowly aiming for the floor, prepared for whatever she might say or ask.
"Okay" was all she said. "R-really!?" the blonde boy said, shocked by her reply. He didn't think she would agree just like that. "But…" she began "I will need a few details." Roxas just looked up at her and smiled "Anything you need to know." she smiled back and before she could ask anything they heard something fall in the living room followed by kairi's scream.
"Roxas!" Riku called casually, slight irritation in his voice. "W-what do you think happened?" Namine asked worried. "Don't worry, its just Sora again." he told her as he exited the kitchen.
Just as he thought there was Sora lying face down on the floor. Kairi was hovering over him and Riku was kneeing beside him. He motioned for Roxas to come help him move Sora back to his bed.
Said boy walked up beside Kairi and bent down and grabbed Sora's arm and Riku did the same. Once Sora was a fair height above the ground, genteelly, move Sora so that he was now piggy back style on Riku's back.
Roxas and Namine watched as Riku carefully took Sora upstairs to his room, Kairi not far behind.
"Well I guess I can get started sooner than I thought" Namine spoke after a few minutes. "Huh?" Roxas looked her. "With what?" he asked tilting his head to the side that for a moment reminded her of Sora.
"Will your request, silly." she gave a small laugh. "It would be safer and easier if I look through his mind while he's asleep." she said reaching into Kairi's backpack and pulled out her sketch book.
"What do you mean safer?" Roxas asked her shocked. "Well…if he were awake then no doubt he would feel me enter his mind, then whether he means to or not he will fight back. As long as he's asleep his mind is to busy dreaming to notice or care." she sat down on the sofa and began to draw.
"I think it would be a good idea if you went, after all I think you now what your looking for." was the last thing Roxas remembers as his world faded into darkness.
"Huh?" Roxas slowly opened his eyes (when did he close them?) and looked around. "Namine!? Riku!? Kairi!?" he began to worry when he got no answer. "Where am I?" he whispered to himself. "You're in my mind, idiot." Roxas' eyes shot open when he heard someone speak.
"And who exactly are you?" he looked around but saw no one. 'That voice…it sounds familiar but I don't…' his thoughts were interrupted.
"Why'd you come?" Roxas looked straight ahead and saw Sora standing a few yards away. He just stood and stared, still trying to figure out what Namine said. "Hello…earth to Roxas" Sora yelled in a playful tone. Said boy was brought out of his thoughts. "Huh?" he heard Sora let out a heavy sigh and repeat his question. "Why…are…you…here?" he said slowly with his hands cupped over his mouth.
Finally Roxas spoke "Where is here?" he asked. Sora looked at him for a moment and began walking toward Roxas. "Where do you think? Your in my mind remember?" Sora stopped walking a couple feet away from the blonde who looked as if his brain finally started working again.
"Huh? But how…Namine sent me to find out what I needed myself didn't she?" Roxas sighed, now he understood exactly what Namine had ment.
"Yep!" Sora cheered. One thing still bugged Roxas "Why is it so dark?" he asked taking a quick glance around.
"Because I'm not thinking about anything." and as soon as he said that there was a blinding light all around them. Roxas shielded his eyes from it while Sora seemed used to it. When the light finally dimmed down Roxas uncovered his eyes and gasped. "We're…we're…" Roxas was too surprised to speak so Sora finished for him. "In Twilight Town". He said very calmly.
"How did we get here?" the nobody asked, still in shock. "Well we're not really here, it's my memory." Sora said with a sad smile, which didn't go unnoticed by Roxas. "Whats wrong" said boy bent over to look Sora in the eye.
"It's just…" Sora looked up at him "everyone's disappeared. See, usually this place is packed with all the people I met here, but now…" he looked all around but saw no one.
Then just as sudden as the first a bright light covered the 'world' only this time Roxas was ready for it. In the end he did have to close his eye and when he opened them he looked around an unfamiliar place. "Now where are we?" he asked.
Sora just grinned and turned around to face him. "Welcome to holl- I mean Radient Garden." and with that he glanced around and frowned. "The same…" he began. "What is?" Roxas asked. "There's no one here either." at this point Sora just looked confused.
His mood seemed to change as his head snapped up to face Roxas. "I just remembered you never answered my question." he said with no emotion.
Roxas looked at him with a blank, yet confused, expression. "Why are you here?" Sora asked once again.
"Oh, that's right; now I remember" he thought out loud. "I was hoping I could find out who it was that you didn't want to loose again. I thought that if I went through your memories that maybe I'll find something." he answered.
Again a blinding light filled the area and Roxas was fully ready for it now. Just like Sora he no longer needed to protect his eyes. When it cleared Roxas took a glance around and was surprised to find that Sora wasn't there. "Sora!?" he called, but the other was nowhere to be found. When Roxas decided to give up he finally realized where he was. "The island." he whispered to himself.
Indeed he was standing on the Shore of Destiny Island. "Why am I…?" then he saw three figures approaching in the distance. The one in the middle looked about Sora's age and was looking back on the other two figures; the one on the right was falling behind. He looked about three and the one on the left looked a year or two older. "Hurry up Sora!" the one on the left shouted, laughing.
Roxas' eyes widened after hearing Soras' name. As they got closer Roxas could begin to make out the three figures. The one on the right, Sora, had spiky brown hair that stuck up in all directions. He was wearing a short sleeve white T-shirt with red shorts and yellow sandals.
The one on the left appeared to be Riku. He had short sliver flowing hair just above his shoulder. A yellow no sleeve shirt and navy blue shorts, along with black sneakers.
The one in the middle had his head turned watching Sora. He had spiky blonde hair, just like Roxas and wore a plain black shirt and tan pants with black sneakers that had red lines along the side.
Then everyone stopped running and the mystery person turned his head so Roxas could see his face. He gasped when he saw that the boy looked exactly like him. Sky blue eyes with a tough yet friendly expression. They all looked directly up at the sky.
Roxas looked up to see what was happening. He saw dark clouds approaching fast in the distance. What was strange is that they didn't look like storm clouds, but just darkness. Suddenly he watched the boy with his face take the young Sora and Riku by the hand and run toward the seaside shack.
"Do they not know about the secret place yet?" Roxas asked himself as he began running toward them. When he got to the shack he tried to enter but his hand went right through the handle, so he walked right in. he was shocked to see Sora and Riku sitting in the corner, the stranger standing before the confused children. He was pulling something out of his pocket when something morphed up behind him.
"Brother!" the little Sora yelled, tears forming in his eyes. Roxas was about to attempt to summon Oathkeeper and Oblivion when another key blade already destroyed it. He was shocked to see that its owner was the mystery person.
"Sorry bro." he said before pulling out a purple vial. "I don't want to get you involved." he turned to the two in the corner and kneeled down in front of them. "What's wrong brother?" Sora asked with an innocent and scared look on his face. Before he got an answer his 'brother' lifted his chin and told him to open his mouth.
Without protest he did so and the other boy poured half the vial down his throat. Sora opened his eyes wide and the fell back. He was caught by both the boy and Riku. "Ventus! What did you do that for?" Riku asked. "Trust me" was all the other replied before he handed the rest of the vial to Riku, who took it and drank what was left and collapsed.
Then Roxas felt himself being pulled away and before he new it he was looking up at Namine. He was still shocked about what he had just seen and was more confused than ever. He new he needed to talk to Sora and Riku as soon as possible.
