Kairi and I fly out of the portal a little harder than I anticipated. We're back on top of Xemnas's castle. I lose my balance and hit the hard metal floor. My sword clangs as it lands and slides away from me. Kairi hits the ground rolling.

I can't catch my breath. Every muscle in my body aches. I try to stand up, but I can't. All I can manage is getting on my hands and knees. "What have I done?"

Kairi is on her feet again. She stands across the roof from me with her Keyblade up. "Why did you bring me here?" She's scared, but she is trying to hide it. I can see it in her eyes.

Crawling over to the railing on the side of the roof, I pull myself onto it. Sitting on it, I try to gain some of my energy back. I didn't even care that there was pretty much nothing between me and a very long fall into what I can only assume is an endless crater.

Kairi, however, doesn't seem to want to back down. She's ready for a fight even if she is tired and scared. "Take me back to my island!"

"I'm not going to hurt you, Kairi." I bury my face in my hands. This was moving too fast. I have taken a girl from her home. This is not part of the arrangement. "This has gone too far." I feel a tear fall from my eye to my hand.

"What's your name?" Kairi's voice doesn't sound harsh or angry anymore. I look up at her and see that she has lowered her Keyblade. She doesn't look as scared as she did earlier. It looks like she feels sorry for me.

"Dexlin."

"You don't really want to do this, do you, Dexlin?" Her Keyblade disappeared. "I don't think this is who you are."

"It's not. I don't even know what I'm doing." I don't even try to stop the tears from running down my cheeks. There's no point. I wouldn't win. "I'm just a nothing person from Twilight Town with no memories."

I don't know why I just told her that. Why am I able to just let her in on my biggest secret when the only other person who knows is Roxas? Who is this girl and why can I trust her so easily.

'Then why are doing it?"

"Because Xemnas made a deal with me."

Her face looks shocked. "Xemnas? You've met with Xemnas? But he's evil. You can't help him."

"But I have to. He said that that it's the only way to get Roxas back. All I have to do is get him to open some door and I can have Roxas forever. He said no one would take him away again."

"Dexlin, you can't let him out. He's just using you to regain control of Kingdom Hearts again. That will destroy the worlds."

"But I can't just let Roxas be held prisoner."

She moves closer to me and kneels down. Her hands cover mine. "Sora isn't holding Roxas prisoner. Xemnas didn't tell you everything." Our eyes meet. She looks so sad now. "Roxas was a Nobody. He was born when Sora turned himself into a Heartless to save me. He was part of Xemnas's plan to take over Kingdom Hearts. But he's Sora's other half. He left the Organization to rejoin with Sora, so that we could beat Xemnas. He's not a captive. Roxas and Sora are the same person."

Xemnas lied to me. How could he do that? Well, Kairi said it herself. He's evil. He probably didn't have to think twice about telling me what I wanted to hear just to get what he wanted. I'm nothing more than a pawn to him. Just like Roxas was. Where does that leave me now?

"It's not fair."

"No. It's not. But that's not all, Dexlin." Small tears started to form in her eyes. "Because Roxas was a Nobody, he was born without a heart. That's what it means to be a Nobody. He couldn't feel any emotions. He couldn't have loved you."

No. I don't want hear anymore. I pull my hands out from under her. I can't touch her anymore. "You didn't know him. You can't say that."

"I've had enough experience with Nobodies. I had one of my own. Xemnas was one. So was the entire Organization. They are incapable of feeling love."

I heard the scraping noise from my sword moving across the metal roof. It flew straight into my hand. That's when the wave of anger washed over me. "LIAR!" I jumped off the railing, standing so fast that it threw Kairi away from me. "Why does everyone keep saying that? Roxas was more than capable of love and he loved me! You're just saying that to save your boyfriend!"

"No I'm not. I promise you."

"Stop it!" I'm holding myself back from swinging the sword. Kairi isn't the one that I want to hurt. I'm only after Sora. But she isn't making it easy. "I'm sick of your lies!"

"But, Dexlin…"

"Shut up!" A dark portal opens beside me. "Let's see if this was enough to make your boyfriend change his mind." I grab Kairi by the arm and drag her back into the portal.
