Me: Beginnings the same but there's a completely different ending.

Xion: You made Kizu a stalker .

Me: She isn't a stalker...

Xion: -sighs- Eve doesn't own Kingdom Hearts... She only owns Kizu, the stalker.

Me: SHE ISN'T A STALKER!

Roxas' Point of View

Day 193

Xion's awake now. The three of us were gonna go get some ice cream after our mission, but she passed out again, so we had to take her home.

I talked with Axel in her room until she woke up. He said the three of us were best friends-inseparable. But after that, he said that he had to go do something and left. It was strange.

The next morning, I walked into The Grey Area, seeing Xion standing to my right. I briefly spoke to her, making sure that she was alright from the previous night, and then got some supplies from a small, light yellow Moogle, that had an Organization coat covering his body and eyes, only leaving a red ball of fluff above its head. Walking over to Axel, I decided to speak with him and ask about last night.

"It's nothing," he replied, still gazing out of the tall, clear windows that displayed a heart shaped moon, "I vote we keep our missions short and sweet. Oh and make sure to stay away from the girl with long black hair."

"Long black hair?" I thought, but didn't question him. He always knew what was right. Walking to Saix, who was standing to the right of Axel, I went to get my missions for the day. He had blue hair that went past his shoulders and a faint scar that formed an "X" between his two yellow eyes which peered down at me.

"Here are your new missions. Depart as soon as you are ready," the berserker said as he handed me a list of missions. There were three, one in Twilight Town and two more in Neverland.

"I'll go to—."

"Twilight Town," a commanding voice announced, cutting me off, "To collect Shining Gems with me." I turned around to see a girl with flowing black hair, trailing down to her waist, and intent blue eyes. She wore the Organization outfit but without the gloves.

"Long.. black hair!" I exclaimed to myself as Saix responded, "Who gave you the authority to assign missions?"

"My word is to be taken as law. Xemnas said it himself, or do you not recall?" she flung back at him with words full of hostility.

"Don't I get a say in this?" I quickly added but she glared intensely at me, making me retreat.

"Just go," Saix said, dismissing us. I reluctantly nodded and opened up a Corridor of Darkness. She walked in first and I simply followed afterward.

The first thing I saw when I walked out of the portal was a hand extended out toward me. I looked up and found the girl's calm eyes staring at me. "Call me Kizu."

"I'm Roxas," I replied, hesitantly taking her hand and shaking it, thinking, "Axel just told me to avoid a girl with long black hair too…"

"I'm sorry for pushing you into a mission like that but you caught my interests yesterday," she explained, as calm and monotone as Xemnas would speak.

"Yesterday?" I questioned.

"I saw Xion pass out and everything. You and Axel were there. How is she doing by the way?"

"She's fine now, but still needs her rest," I replied. "Kizu was.. following us?"

"Good. Shouldn't we start collecting the gems?" she reminded me as she walked up the slope.

I realized that we landed in one of the side streets that lead to Market Street. The road and walls were a nice tan with a few rectangular windows. As we walked toward Market Street, we passed what looked like a room that had black metal bars which was to the left and farther up, a neon yellow three that was to the right and indicated that the area was a train stop. Proceeding on, the road sloped downward as the walls surrounding us became more colorful with dull greens, reds and oranges. Suddenly, two small Shadows, which were black and had yellow eyes, emerged from the ground, making Kizu jump backward and me summon my Keyblade. With one simple slash, both of them dispersed into darkness but no hearts were captured because they were Purebloods.

"You can't fight?" I asked, looking at Kizu.

She shook her head, "I don't know how to.."

"Maybe I can teach you some day," I replied with a small smile and made my weapon disappear.

She smiled back just slightly, but awkwardly, and then continued walking down the slope, "I'm not much help today though."

"Why'd you go on a mission with me then?" I responded, following her.

"I don't know really. I acted on impulse.. Which is unlike me.. How strange…" she said, slowly drifting off into her own thoughts.

"Impulse? How can you have an 'impulse' if you don't have a heart?" I questioned, passing an armor shop that was to the left and an accessory shop to the right.

"Oh I-."

"Wait! Kizu look out!" I yelled out, leaping between her and a white beam, blocking it with my Keyblade. A Destroyer had appeared the second we walked into the main part of the Tram Common and fired its laser at Kizu. I quickly jumped into action and because I had already gotten used to the Heartless' movements from yesterday, the battle was simple. After hitting and dodging attacks for just a few minutes, it was destroyed and dropped a glimmering, green, shield shaped fragment with two crossing crescents attached to and below it.

"That's the item!" Kizu exclaimed, running toward and picking up the gem which was just slightly bigger than her miniature hands, "Just two more now."

"Why do we need them in the first place?" I asked, watching her and making my Keyblade disappear, "And are you alright?"

"We need it to make some spells and they're useful for synthesizing," she explained, "And I'm fine. Thanks."

"You should hide or something. Heartless can appear out of nowhere." I stated.

"Let's just get the mission done. I'll be fine."

"Alright then," I answered as I started walking to the left, looking for more Shining Gems. The Tram Common was a large area that had several different ramps and stairs everywhere, so it would be the best place to look for either Heartless or specific items. After walking up some stairs, another Destoryer appeared and I commanded Kizu to stay back. She did as she was told but only backed up into a few Shadows.

For some odd reason, I felt a sense of responsibility to protect someone helpless and I lunged at the Shadows first, quickly eliminating them. Then I stepped in between Kizu and the Destroyer once again but before I could do anything, I heard a soft and small, "Thank you" from her. I turned my face to the left and gave her a modest grin however the "moment" was broken after the Heartless decided to shoot out a beam of light and I needed to react by blocking it. I then lunged at enemy, destroying as easily and quickly as the one before and another Shining Gem dropped to the ground.

"Looks like every time you eradicate a Destroyer, the item drops," Kizu assumed, picking up the second gem, "We should look for another one and that'll be the end of the mission."

"Good, and you're welcome," I said and continued walking up the stairs after I made my Keyblade disappear for the second time.

"Wait what?" she asked, following me.

"You said thank you before, so I'm saying you're welcome," I replied, taking a left turn into an alleyway. The buildings were tall and blocked some of the light coming from the sun. I jumped a few feet down into an alcove to be greeted by another Destroyer's laser. Because my landing wasn't secure yet, I couldn't dodge the attack and the explosion from it knocked me back into the ledge I had just jumped off of, nearly knocking me out.

"Roxas!" Kizu yelled the second she saw me blown back. Obviously, she thought that I was too strong to be harmed, because of my displays of strength earlier, and jumped next to me, "You alright?"

I nodded in response and summoned my Kingdom Key again, standing up, "I'll be fine. It just caught me by surprise."

I took in a gulp of a Potion. Almost instantly, I felt a rush of new energy and I then lunged at the awaiting Heartless.
