3rd Day

He stood inside a white room filled with drawings; he knew those pictures from the dreams. He looked at the on where a picture of an island, he knew that place… isn´t that-

A dark night on the island, the boy was weak and almost gone from this world. The man holds him and said with a deep and old voice "There, you see? An empty world, like a prison." He lay the dying down on the tree "I imaged you be right at home" The one under the white sheet closed slowly his eyes as the life inside of him slowly faded…

the Memory faded as he turned to another picture, he wanted to know what happed more that night but the dream vision of them wouldn´t obey his will. He now looked at another picture; a girl with red hair and a star-shaped fruit beside her. He should know this girl, it should make him remember- nothing came. A single time he looked at the fruit-

"Somewhere out there, there´s this tree with star-shaped fruit… and the fruit represents an unbreakable connection. So as long as you and your friends carry good luck charms shaped like it, nothing can ever drive you apart. You´ll always find your way back to each other"

"Roxas"
the memory faded once again as he turned around to find the girl with power over memories "Naminé?" he saw no one and he turned back to the picture where he saw himself and Axel. Few memories about him in the Organization arrived; he turned away from it and looked now at her as she asked;"Do you know who you really are?"

He should had said at no one knows him better than himself, but… he HAD no idea who he really was "Do you know it?" he asked.

Naminé smiled weak "I´ll tell you want I know. You know where I am"

The light surrounded them both as the dream faded.

Roxas opened his eyes and sat up "Yeah. I know"

xXx

He walked toward the forest where he met Pence and Olette; they smiled to him "Morning Roxas"

"Morning" he greeted back and kind of expected they would stop, of course they didn´t "Olette dragged me along to go shopping" told Pence him and Olette asked cheerful "Hey, you wanna come with us?"

Roxas smiled but thanked no, he had something he should. And that something was in the old mansion but that he didn´t tell his friends.

Olette smiled "Very well then. We´ll see you later, okay?"

Roxas nodded and went towards the old mansion.

The way to the mansion went with no trouble, nothing came to stop him and at last he stood inside the white room from the dream. He walked to the pictures there in the dream gave him those weird glimpse of an unknown past, he stared long at them but this time he saw nothing. A little disappointed he walked to other pictures and watched them, all of them were about Sora.

"Do you know these places?" he turned around as Naminé came beside him, she smiled "What do you see?" he turned to the picture she pointed to: the one with the Heartless sign from some building. Roxas knew he should remember something from Sora, he was his Nobody. The more he waited the memories the more he realized they wouldn´t come and he had no idea what this place was.

"Sorry, I see nothing…"

He turned to her "Naminé, something is wrong with me. I know what I am and what I´m supposed to do, but…" he sat a hand on the one with him and Axel "I can still feel Sora, but I can´t see his memories. The only thing I see is my past in the Organization"

Naminé nodded slowly, she walked to the table and took an sketchbook up "I know, ever since your awaked; I´ve followed you."

"What awaking? Soras?" asked the blond boy confused.

Naminé laughed and shook hers head "No, yours awaking. You might not remember it, Roxas and yours memories is pretty messed up right now" hers smile faded "and… I can´t help you set on their right place… your mind are still weak…"

Roxas didn´t move, what she just had told made no sense and still… it did. "I´m n-not Roxas?" he asked with shaken voice.

Naminé shook hers head "No, Roxas is gone. Just like the others"

So the memories of himself joining Sora in the World That Never Was was real… he shouldn´t exits, but why are he here? Remembering everything (except from Soras memories) and those other dreams? He has to know about those dreams "Naminé, I have dreams… dreams of me with two others, they have the name Aqua and Terra and they keep calling me Ventus"

The blond haired girl stroke his cheek, smiling but still seems sad "It´s because you are Ventus, you are that boy and you… you lost your heart..."

Roxas remembered, he remembered the battle against his dark side; Vanitas. He won but lost his heart and was force to sleep, his heart found resting place in a little boy. "That boy… it was Sora" he realized and now he saw the reason why Roxas: Soras Nobody looked like him and why he right now thinks he IS Roxas.

He turned to Naminé "That day, Sora came to me for give my heart back. Roxas was there, he was angry and mad but still he helped me when he realized at I was his other half… he´s inside of me like he´s inside of Sora"

"That´s right, you have his memories. He gave them to you as his mind joined yours"

"In order to repair it, I remember now. My mind war broken" said Ventus smiling at he at last saw the truth. He thanked Naminé but added "I don´t feel like Ventus right now, so… I stay as Roxas few more days."

"Of course" she smiled "I´ll let you enjoy the last day of the summer vacation. It´s the least I can do"

He walked outside, stopped at the gate and waved after her "Only four days left and my summer vacation is over, and this time: my story won´t end"

He ran through the forest but suddenly arrived an Unversed; Vanitas was near. Roxas called his keyblade and attacked, the Unversed had no changes against him, now he knew his powers. Some of the Unversed escaped him and he followed them to the sandlot. Seifer and the gang was there and they didn´t see the Floods so they thought Roxas was running away and Seifer called "Hey chicken wuss!"

Roxas stopped as the Flood came up from the ground again, more arrived; such as the Scrapper and Bruiser, lucky there were not many of the fat ones. Seifer and his friends went in battle mode "Those things have crossed the line. Get them!"

Roxas called his keyblade and attacked the Unversed, as Seifers gang pick up a weapon and attacked them but they were not used to fight creatures like this so Roxas was forced to protect them. He got them all down and as the last Unversed faded he stood gasping exhausted over this battle, Seifer looked at him like he was wondering he should thank him or give him the last hit and claim himself as victor. He never got the changes to do neither of the things; Roxas was knocked on the ground by the same woman from yesterday.

"Upsy, sorry my bad!" she laughed as she walked past him and the Seifers gang "Scram kids, I want to speak in private with the kid over there" she pointed towards Roxas there tried get on his feet.

Of course would Seifer not leave his place "This is our place lady"

"Scram yourself y´know!"

The woman smirked as she took the bow down from hers back "You should really had ran when you got the changes" she took and arrow, strained the bow and aimed at them. Seifer stood ready to the attack as if he had no idea at this would kill him if it hit!

"Goodbye!" she said and released the arrow but it was stopped by a keyblade, she turned around, facing a really angry Roxas "Leave them alone! It´s me you want!"

"Ohh so this Tiger can show teeth!" she mocked as Roxas looked at Seifer "Scram!"

Seifer didn´t move but jumped startled back as an arrow hit right beside his foot, he backed away and said to Roxas "Trash her"

Roxas nodded as Seifer and his gang leaved, he attacked the woman who jumped in the air and shot after him with such a precise at it was impossible to dodge them, this archer was good.
She was also a though opponent, like Xigbar; she would rather keep hers distance away and making it hard to attack. She landed on a building right after one successful slash from the keyblade "I give you kid, you can fight!" she aimed at him "Too bad I have to kill you"

"Who are you?" shouted Roxas after her, ready to create a shield from his magic.

"Me?" asked the woman and smirked "I´m Adria and I´m a sniper like the rest of my family" she shoot and Roxas shield saved him from the arrow. Adria jumped down again "You know Xehanort? I work for him"

"What? You work for Xehanort?" exclaimed Roxas in disbelief "Where is he?"

"Yeah right Tiger!" she laughed and sound just like Xigbar there "Do you really think I would tell a key slinger like you?" she laughed hard but stopped as Roxas attacked and she jumped with a wounded arm "Seems like I got you angry" she looked at the arm "Well I can´t fight like this, so what it´s going to be kid?" she spread hers arm as in invitation to him to strike "Do you so badly want to kill Xehanorts goons? Then go ahead!"

Roxas hesitated, if he had been the real Roxas, he would have attacked but as Ventus… he can´t. His heart is pure light, so the emotion cruelty didn´t exist. He dismissed the keyblade "I won´t"

"Do you pity me?" she asked insulting "or is it you don´t fight girls?"

"I can´t because my heart tell me not to!" he shouted back

Adria looked a second surprised but them she smiled "Huh, you are really something boy. Okay as reward not killing little me I give you this:" by hers healthy arm she threw the munny wallet back to him, added "There might be some extra in but they´re all yours, have a nice trip to the beach kid!" and by those words she was gone.

Roxas stood few sounds, not really know what just had happen. After few moments he ran back to the usual spot, the day wasn´t over jet and they might still have time to the trip. He ran inside the usual spot "Hey guys guess what I found!"

All his friends looked up and they cheered as he showed the wallet "Way to go Roxas!"

"Where did you found them?" asked Olette as he gave the wallet back

"I found the woman, she gave it back after I teach her a lesson"

"Sweet!" said Hayner but added "But we can´t go today, the last train has already leaved the town"

"Oh… what about tomorrow?"

Hayner shook his head "I´ve made a promise"

That´s right, it was Struggle Tournament tomorrow. Roxas nodded "Oh yeah, well we better make ourselves ready then"

"YOU better do Roxas!" exclaimed Hayner and hit friendly his chest "I´ve trained to this every time I got the chance!"

Roxas just smiled but thought in his mind "And I have trained by defeating creatures like the Unversed"

xXx

Near the clock tower stood the woman Adria, she turned to a person "You´re right, he´s getting stronger and the memories of the Nobody speed everything up. But what do you want with him?"

The person she was talking to didn´t replay, the little creature by his side looked up to him.

Adria sighted "No matter, I will keep an eye on him. It would be fun fighting him again-"

"No, you leave Adria. He´s strong enough to my plans" interrupted the other person, a boy but he didn´t sound like a boy with that cold voice. Adria had always hated this guy.

"Whatever , I´ll go shopping and see I can find something to the old geezer" she leaved him and the masked boy; Vanitas watched Adria leave but turned to the little Unversed as it whispered different tones as if it was talking "I show Xehanort I´m still useful, it may come in handy Braig didn´t kill him"

The Unversed twittered low and looked to the town. Vanitas look out too "What´s that suppose to mean dummy?" he asked it hash, but the Unversed never replied.
