((First off, I would like to say...

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!

For supporting me for my first fanfic :3.

I only hope that I can keep it as good as you've all said it was so far..

Uhh...I'm going to add some more comments in the middle of this. Because I feel like I clumped together too many important parts. So by creating a short note from me in the middle, it will add more suspense...? Maybe...

I reeaaallllyyyy hope you like this one...))

DAY 397 ~ Focused

(Chapter 13!)

I barely got any sleep that night. Even on my mission, I was only half-focused.
I only had two days left. Maybe even less.
How would anyone be able to focus, if they knew that they'd be gone soon?

DAY 399 ~ Last and First

That morning, Axel came up to me in the hallway, before we got down to the lobby.

"Hey, Roxas," He said.

"Hey…" I managed to get out.

"Well, um…good luck, today," I had a feeling that he wasn't just talking about what the Organization had assigned me. "I'll see you later, I guess…they told me to head out as soon as possible."

"Y-yeah…thanks…" I felt like I had when I actually started talking, back when I first joined the organization. I couldn't form words or sentences that easily. I had to think about them longer than I'd usually have to. "I'll see you…too. I promise."

With that he had to leave, and I hoped that I could actually keep my promise.

My mission was surprisingly in Twilight Town, again. I didn't even have to start it. When I appeared in Twilight Town, Naminé was there, waiting.

"Roxas…it's time now," She said. "Are you ready?"

"I…I guess." As ready as I was capable of.

We went to the mansion together. I saw Riku outside, but we barely exchanged glances. I tried ignoring. He'd gotten his way, hadn't he? He seemed satisfied.

This time Naminé led me to a different room, where there was some…pod in the middle. There were a few other pods, as well.

"He's going to wake up soon," Naminé said. "Roxas…I…I'm sorry you've had to go through so much. DiZ…doesn't care about Nobodies. He thinks that since they don't have hearts, they can't feel anything. But I think you're an example of why he's wrong." she paused, sighing. Then she looked up at me. "Good luck."

That was when the pod started opening. It didn't take long before I could feel tears starting to fall down my face.

Then I saw him. "Sora…"

I began to fade.

((This is where we will take a short break to hear me talk. Or read the words I type, really. Whichever you prefer.

So...uhh...

I guess I took a few ideas from the KHII manga...just a little...just so I know who the characters are and am not excluding stuff that makes it fit the overall KH storyline...if that long sentence made any sense...

I decided to do a lot of reading and watching KH stuff (when my wi-fi gets set up! :D) so then I can make this more accurate...yeah.

I'm sorry to be talking totally pointlessly. But I really think that it will make this a bit more interesting/suspenseful...it seemed like a good cut-off place...but I promised longer chapters so I wanted it to still have a long chapter...which is how I decided to make this random talking thing in the middle of it. xP.

But if you want to skip, go ahead...I won't stop you...haha ^_^

I think I've rambled on long enough, now...

OH WAIT! I HAVE A QUESTION!

Well I wrote a scene for the ending of KH 358/2 Days from Xion's point of view (in other words, Xion's Death from her own point of view...I don't mark this as a spoiler because if you're reading this, it's quite obvious that she's not alive...I think...). And...I like writing from her point of view (not that I don't like writing from Roxas's point of view, I like both, but anyway...)! So I wondered if I should write this fanfic from Xion's point of view, as well (in a separate fanfic, but they follow the same storyline...)?

Feedback on this idea would be appreciated...I think it would be pretty cool to do...but I want to know if I should work on and finish this one first, or both at the same time, or completely forget writing from Xion's point of view. xP.))

-----

Everything was white. There was absolute nothingless. Is this what happens to Nobodies when they die?

I kept looking around me. Eventually, I saw a figure there, looking around as well, wearing the organization's coat…

"Xion!" I called out without thinking.

The figure turned, and I saw her face. It was Xion. She started running up to me.

"R-Roxas!" Xion sounded a bit surprised. She came to a stop once she reached where I was.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"We're in Sora's mind," Xion replied. "Right now, he's still asleep…but not for too much longer. Soon, we'll see what he sees."

"But…how do you know this?" I asked.

"After over a month of being here, things just…came to me," she replied. "You'll understand after a while."

I nodded, not sure what else to say or do. And then, everything changed. Like Xion said, I saw what Sora was seeing out of his own eyes.

"Donald! Goofy!" Sora said to an odd pair that I'd also seen in his memories. He yawned and stretched. "Wow, I feel like I've slept forever."

"Where are we, anyway?" one of them asked.

'That's Donald,' I heard Xion's voice, explaining. 'All you have to do to talk like this is think the words lightly. If you think them too hard, Sora will probably hear. He's not ready for that, yet.'

'Okay,' I replied.

Naminé stepped up in front of Sora. "Where you are right now isn't important," Naminé said. "You'll need to go somewhere else so that you can be safe."

"Who are you?" Sora asked.

"That's not important, either," Naminé shook her head. "I can tell you later, but…DiZ is coming. Please. Flee, now."

"O-kay…" Sora said. "Donald, Goofy, Jiminy! we have to go!"

"Jiminy is asleep,". Goofy said. "Didn't wake up yet."

"We'll wake him up later," Sora said. He turned to Naminé. "Thank you…Maybe I'll see you some other time?"

Naminé simply nodded and gestured towards the door. She looked like she might have wanted to say something, but didn't.

Sora led his group out the doors and into Twilight Town.

-----

Sora had ended up looking all over Twilight Town. He wasn't really looking for anything, but just curious about the world he was in. He had traveled to many worlds before, but without a Gummi Ship he couldn't, then.

The organization was pretty lucky to have the Dark Corridor.

Sora and his friends decided to sleep in the woods for the night. They took turns keeping watch, in case some heartless popped up. Donald was first, so Sora went to sleep.

I found out that Sora's mind was blank, everything went white again, when he was asleep, but only until the dreams started. Even so, that gave me some time to talk to

Xion more. We didn't have to pay attention to what Sora was doing.

"So how was Axel doing before you came here?" Xion asked.

"He was fine," I answered. "His usual self…"

"Well, at least he's doing well," Xion said. "I wish I could have talked to him before I…left."

"Yeah…" Then I remembered what she had said earlier. "Didn't you say that if we thought a sentence with enough force, Sora would hear it? Could we talk to him?"

"Yeah, but…he doesn't know us. How would he know he's really hearing us, and not just going crazy or something?"

"Naminé," I replied. "She could tell him."

I could tell that the white was starting to fade, that Sora was starting to dream.

"We could try it, tomorrow, I guess…" Xion said. "For now, let's stay quiet."

((Yay...well be prepared for longer chapters, now. I think. Well, I'm pretty sure the next ones are longer o.o.

I went up to day 401 or something like that in the word doc (well, I use open office) (it was from days 356-401?) and it went up to 10 pages...which is probably twice or more than twice as long as the chapters have been so far...

Uhh well anyway...I'll shut up now, and I'll probably have the next chapter up...sometime soon! ^_^))

((Random note: Text in quotes and italics is stuff that only Xion and Roxas can hear, and not Sora. So that you won't be confused later.))
