((Okay, so from now on notes and stuff that I'm telling you will be in uhh...these double parenthesis and italics like this.

Kinda like OOC talk, but since it's not a roleplay I can't really call it that.

I know it's like, really stupid to have a disclaimer 12 chapters in, but here it is anyway (Because it's more important since we're ALMOST into the longer chapters, and I have less confidence in those...anyway...

Disclaimer(s):

~I obviously don't own KH since this is a fanfic...but also, I don't know all of the characters that well, so how they talk is probably not accurate...uhh yeah...

~Now what was I going to say...? Oh yeah...well obviously I'm forgetful...and I also haven't played Chain of Memories or KH II (though I've done reading about them and stuff) so those details are most likely not accurate....

~THIS IS MY FIRST SERIOUS FANFIC! (I've written like, one-paragraph-incomplete fanfics when I was in 5th grade. For Naruto. And that wasn't serious writing, just boredom...I don't count those..)!!!! So I don't have FF writing experience...which is why REVIEWS are appreciated! :]

End of Disclaimers. Now to (hopefully) enjoy the chapter...))

DAY 396 ~ Three Days

(Chapter 12)

My mission for the day was luckily in Twilight Town. That made things more convenient. I could finish my mission, and head to the mansion afterward.

All I had to do on my mission was defeat a Darkside. It was stronger than Darksides normally were, but I got it done quickly enough.

I didn't know how to get past the gates to the mansion, though. There was a giant lock on it. I stood staring at it, but I didn't have to worry for too much longer.

Suddenly, a girl came up beside me.

"Hello, Roxas," she said. She looked surprisingly like Xion. The girl wore a white dress and had long blonde hair.

"Um…hi," I responded. "How do you know my name?"

'm Naminé," she replied. "Did you have a reason to come here?"

"Axel said that you might be able to tell me more about Sora," I answered.

"Oh, yes," Naminé nodded. "Would you like to come in, then?"

"But…it's locked."

"Use your keyblade."

At that time, I didn't know that the keyblade could be used to unlock things. But I didn't seem to know much of anything, so I didn't question what she told me to do. As soon as I held the keyblade towards the lock, it opened.

"Good," Naminé stepped up and pushed the gate open farther. "Follow me."

She led me to a white room, decorated in some places with drawings. Some of them looked a bit familiar. Sora was in a lot of them.

"Roxas," Naminé said. "Really your birth was…an accident. Sora caused your creation without knowing it."

"Huh?" Sora created me? "But what…"

"And later…his memory was messed up," Naminé continued. "Some of it went into you. And at Castle Oblivion…when Xion was created as a copy of you…some traveled to her, as well. Now that she's returned to Sora…he should awaken soon. And when he does, you'll join him."

"Join him?" I asked. "Like, disappear?"

"You won't disappear," Naminé said. "But you'll be with Sora. With Xion."

"What…when?" I hadn't learned that much. A lot of it Axel had told me. I was starting to doubt her.

"In a few days, maybe. Three at most."

"Three?!" I exclaimed. "But…Kingdom Hearts…I have to free the hearts there. Can't I have more time?"

"I'm sorry…" Naminé shook her head. "I can't make it any longer. It's already been held off for a month from when he would have awakened. But…"

"But what?"

"When you join him…maybe you could talk to him," She replied. "I don't know for sure."

"But how--"

Suddenly, someone appeared. His head was wrapped in red bandages, and he looked straight at Naminé.

"What are you doing?" he asked. "You remember what I told you earlier, don't you?"

"DiZ…" Naminé seemed a bit startled. "Isn't it fair for him to know?"

"He is a Nobody," DiZ said. "Fair or not, I gave you orders."

Then, a dark corridor opened nearby. Axel stepped out. He looked at the three of us, and then sighed.

"Roxas," he said. "We're going back to the castle."

"Axel!" I exclaimed. "But I haven't--"

"Go!" Naminé shouted, and Axel grabbed my arm and dragged me through the portal. We came out back at the organization, in my room.

"I have three days left," I said. "Three days. That's all I found out. The rest you had told me."

"Three days!?" Axel looked as surprised as I had felt. "That's…they could have given more of an advanced warning, or something! That's so short! So what happens after that??"

"I don't know…" I wished I did. I wished Axel, Xion and I could all be together like in the past. But those wishes didn't matter. I'd be gone in only a few days.

Axel groaned, and started pacing, staring at the ground. He stopped for a moment and stared out the window. "So if you…don't completely disappear…if you can still think clearly…will you remember me?"

"I hope so…" I replied. "But right now…I have no idea what will happen."

Axel turned and nodded, then he started heading for the door. "If you do remember me," he said. "If you can…know that I'll try to help both of you out. I'll help you eliminate Kingdom Hearts."

Before I could form a reply, he left.

((Uhh...that seemed a bit random...oh well...It's maybe possibly going to hopefully end up more interesting? :)))
