A/N:

Ah... updates. The Sora Arc shouldn't be as long as I would like, due to chapter limit restrictions I have set for myself.

But, enjoy it anyway.

I just noticed that it was supposed to be Xigbar with Demyx, not Luxord... I fail so hard sometimes... XD

Sora walked on to catch up with Donald, and Goofy followed suit, grabbing Yukia's hand and pulling her along with him. She didn't resist, but yanked her hand out of the dog's gloved one. She caught up with Sora, and twiddled her thumbs.

"I'm sorry, but..." she looked at him, furrowing her brows."You look familiar to me. Have we ever met before?"

Sora looked at her for a minute then shook his head. "No, I don't think so. But that's not important right now. What is, though," he smiled "is finding what you're looking for."

Yukia blushed and twiddled her thumbs again. "Right. But, I don't know what I'm looking for. Since I woke up yesterday, I felt something was just a little bit... off."

"What do you mean, Yukia?" Sora curiously asked.

"Like... this is all fake, and something vital is missing from me." she balled her hands into fists. "Like a dream. Do you ever feel that way?"

Sora smiled. "Yeah, when I first got the Keyblade, I felt like something wasn't right. But I got used to it."

"Hm." she sighed and kept walking, rain pouring on her and soaking her to the core. "It's wet... shouldn't we like, take shelter or something?" she wiped wet hair out of her eyes again.

"We're almost there, so shut it, girl!" Donald stormed past her, knocking her over in the process.

"Ah, you stupid duck..." mud covered her now, pink dress sticking to the gooey substance."...wish I could just..."

Sora held out a hand to her, which she took, and helped Yukia right herself.

Axel walked along with Demyx and Luxord, attempting to find Xemnas.

"I'm surprised, Axel. Normally you would have put up a fight." Luxord took a swing of rum, hiccupping. [Unless they mentioned Roxas, Axel almost never obeyed.]

"Shut up."

Demyx stayed silent, which was very out-of-character for him. Concerned, Luxord turned to him [slightly drunk], and put a hand on his shoulder [the one without the rum].

"What's wrong, kid?"

Demyx, rubbed his left eye with his free hand, and shook his head. "Just thinking... about things."

Sora held onto her hand, even after she got up. Yukia abandoned the idea of wiping off her dress of the mud, and settled for walking again. She didn't even realize neither she nor Sora had let go of each other's hands, and she looked over at the boy again.

He looks so familiar to someone I knew...

They arrived at a big, White Castle, which was floating above them.

"How do we get up there?" Yukia dumbly asked, while Donald and Goofy had started jumping up on platforms.

"We jump." Sora ran with her in hand, and picked her up. Yukia blushed, while Sora was completely okay with her being there.

"Are you crazy? No real human could possibly-" Sora had taken the leap of faith and landed two platforms higher than either of his animal companions. "-jump... that... high..." she looked at the ground, which looked like it was about a good forty feet up.

"Hurry up you two!" Donald quacked, and Sora replied with sticking out his tongue.

"Let's go." he jumped again, up to a fifth platform, colured dark purple.

Luxord knocked on Xemnas's office door, [banging was more like it,] impatiently tapping his foot.

"Luxy, stop, what if he's napping?" Demyx pulled on his sleeve.

"So? I bloody went to get this git and I'm getting credit for it, damnit!"

He continued knocking on the door until a very angry looking Xemnas appeared from behind it. He ran a hand through his silver hair, but stopped dead when he saw Axel.

"My office. Now."

When they arrived at the top platform, there was a set of long staircase leading up into the bottom of the Castle. Sora put Yukia down, and began to walk up the steps with Donald and Goofy. To her, it looked endless, like you would walk forever and ever and get no where. When they looked back, Sora's eyes widened, and he summoned the Keyblade, running towards Yukia.

"Get out of the way!"

"What-" she got pushed aside by Soar and he took out a creature that seeped with darkness. "…a Heartless…?"

"I'm a little surprised you know about them," he reached to help her up again, and put away his Keyblade.

"Heartless killed my family and friends." She looked at the ground, and her muddy shoes began to dry. They kept walking up the stairs, only stopping to defeat the occasional Shadows that attacked their small group.

"I'm sorry about that." He finally said, stretching his arms out behind his head. "I haven't been to my home world in years, since the Heartless invaded all of the worlds. Yours must have suffered that, too."

"Yeah, but… it still has me wondering."

"What do you mean?"

"Well…" she brushed some caked mud off her skirt. "Ever since I woke up yesterday, something feels so… off. Like this is all a dream, and I'm just a bystander. Only… I don't know what I'll wake up to."

Sora looked at the last few steps in front of them, and closed his eyes for a moment.

"I know that feeling. I really just wish this was all a dream, and I would wake up back on Destiny Islands…"

Yukia held his hand as they went through the doors, crying for something they wish they still had.

After receiving a stern lecture from Xemnas, Axel was now not only tired, pissed off, and over all irritated, but now had a truckload of missions to complete. He stormed off to his room, and slammed the door. He needed his beauty sleep that was deprived from him by Luxord and Demyx.

Demyx watched in amusement as he heard Axel stifled curses, and when Luxord came back into the room, they looked at each other and laughed.

"Hey, the bloke deserved it," said Luxord, taking a lengthy swing of rum.

"True that," Demyx sat next to him on the couch, summoning his Sitar, playing a soft tune.
