I dont own any of the characters except Alex.

They landed in the shadows of the identical hallways. Hidden from sight, Riku watched as Alex scanned the area before lowering her guard. When she looked away, Riku looked at her slender face, but then something shiny caught his eyes. He looked down, and around her neck were two silver chains. One had a heart, and the other had a key. They were truly beautiful pieces and they matched so well, as if they were made for each other. Slowly, his eyes drifted down to her scarred stomach. A horrified look came upon his face. There were so many scars adorning her body. Some were thin slices running across her thin frame, while others were deep and large, as if she was punctured right through her body.

"Alright, you'll be safe here."

"…"

"What's wrong?" she sighed.

"Huh?" he snapped out of his mode.

"Well, you're just staring off into the distance. I figured something must be bothering you." She got closer to him, and a blush spread like wildfire on his face.

"I…it's…nothing…" he stammered. She made a face at him, and even through the blindfold, Riku could tell she was staring him down.

"I was just wondering…" he started.

"Yes?"

"How did you get…?" he motioned towards her revealed body.

"Oh." She looked down herself, as if seeing them for the first time. Out of habit, she traced the biggest and deepest scar. It ran right across her body, starting from her left shoulder blade running deep across to the right side of her hip bone. It was the one that she had received from that battle years ago…

"Alex?" She was snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the boy in front of her. His blue eyes were full of concern. 'Why does he worry for me?' she wondered. She never had anyone concerned for her well being. Instead, they were always after her life.

"Um, they're from…past battles." She looked away. His eyes now were full of worry, and she couldn't take it. This boy was so innocent.

"Wait a minute…" Riku bent down and looked at her stomach. His fingers glided unknowingly over a particular scar that was still fresh, and she felt a tingling sensation when his fingers left. Alex fought the blush crawling over her cheeks, but it disappeared beneath her blindfold.

"Wha…what are you doing?" she asked shyly.

"This scar…" he started, "this is exactly were I got hurt…" He traced the curve of the scar, as it disappeared into her shirt. Then it clicked it him. "This is my scar!" he exclaimed. "When you healed me that day, you got the scar instead, didn't you? You got hurt because of me!" He stared at her. How could such a small body withstand all the scars?

Alex then grew cold. She couldn't stand the concern the silver haired boy was showing her. She didn't need that. She didn't want to feel anything for this boy. Emotions would make her weak, and she didn't want that. But this boy was slowly weaving himself into her heart, and she couldn't have that. She pushed him away coldly, while confusion filled the boy's face.

"Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself. You'll need to fight more battles in this castle before you move on to see your precious friends. You're wasting your time with me." Her voice was hard and cold. She needed to push him away. She couldn't let her emotions interfere with her mission. Before he could say anything, she turned away and disappeared, leaving Riku behind in the shadows.

Xemnas stood infront of Axel, toying with the black clothing in his gloved hand.

"Well done, Axel. You've managed to complete some task I've given to you." A smirk was visible on his face.

"Well, it wasn't that hard. Dunno how he killed off Xaldin." Axel managed to make them believe that he killed off the intruder.

"And this is the same intruder who threatened that 'the Organization was destined to fall by my hands'." Xemnas laughed.

"Hehe…yeah…" Axel faked. '…psycho…' he smirked at the thought.

"Now we only have that other brat to deal with." Xemnas sent the others to look for him. Axel discreetly left the room, in search for the girl.

Riku was left coldly by the girl. He aimlessly walked around, wondering what he had said or done to her to make her become so upset. But he still couldn't get the image of her scarred body out of his mind. He didn't want anything to happen to this girl anymore. It seemed she has suffered so much, and fought many battles. He wanted to know so much more about her, but she put up these walls around her. As soon as he got close, she shut him out. But he wanted to know how she got hurt so much. He wanted to know why she would heal him if she knew she would get the pain in the end.

'Damn,' Riku sighed, but he still wore a small smile on his face, 'I'm really falling for this girl.'

Alex sighed deeply, relieving herself of all the stress inside. She walked briskly down the straight corridor. She knew she was being cruel to the silver haired boy, but she had to be. He was falling for her, and she knew it. She could tell just from the way he looked at her. He was slowly crawling into her heart, melting the shield she had upheld there for years. But he knew nothing about her. He didn't, and couldn't, know about all the wrong she had done when she was younger. A small smile appeared on her face.

She was a murderer. A cold blooded murderer. But it wasn't like she meant to kill all of them. That was her job. She was an assassin. It was her mission. Same with the one she was currently working on. She waved her small hand in the air, producing a small ancient-looking scroll out of the air. The discolored sides of the paper were ripping, and it looked as if it were being dragged around for years, and it had been. As it floated in the air, she made a gesture with her hand, bringing her fingers delicately into her palm, and the scroll opened. The details of her mission were written in the scroll, in a language that she herself had created so only she and a few others could understand. The crooked and oddshaped letters filled the page. Details and descriptions describing the Organization and Kingdom Hearts were written. Her duty was to destroy the Organization, because they were causing a disturbance in the lifestream. Bringing back their bodies and souls, but leaving their hearts…it was so peculiar to her. The lifestream went haywire for a little while, but when she arrived, she learned of how they were accomplishing this phenomenon.

Alex was an assassin, but unlike other assassins, she wasn't as stealth like. She would just come and kill. She would live in the world for a little while, and blend in. She would find more information on the target, rather then go with the information on the scroll. Then she would finish her job and move on, but someone would always know who she was, wherever she went. Her eyes scanned the small scroll. Riku was only a small detail in the paper. She couldn't help it when her heart sped up a little when she saw his name on the paper. She was falling for him, too. But she couldn't be with him. She could never be with him. He would end up getting hurt, just like anyone else she cared for. And that was the last thing she ever wanted. Her hand brushed against one of her scars. The last thing she ever wanted was for him to get scars like hers. Slowly, she waved her hand over the floating scroll, and it disappeared before her eyes. She sighed once more, but then became rigid. She turned and scanned the area. No one was here, but she could feel an evil aura eminating from somewhere. Then she heard something. It was a whisper, but she still heard it. Someone called her name. She paled. Riku. He was the only one she told that if he needed her, call. She whispered two names to herself.

"Dante. Cerberus." Two silver guns appeared before her. They were larger then average guns, but not bulky. Dante was the name of her left handed gun, and it was a shiny metallic silver. It was a single barrel gun, and resembled a firearm, however it was much sleeker and longer then an average revolver. Down the handle, there was a small chain leading to an elaborate round transmutation circle keychain. Cerberus was the name given to her right handed gun. This one was more elaborate, being that it was her first gun. The body of the gun was long and sleek, and was a triple-barrel. The keychain on the end of Cerberus was a round silver chakram, with small spikes erupting out of the sides.

She opened a portal and quickly stepped through, anxious to get to Riku and see what had happened to him.

Now Riku is in trouble....sorry its kinda short. Im too tired to write anymore. its exactly 12:57 am, and I kinda want to sleep...

Anway, reviews are greatly appreciated!
