(A/N: Hey guys...I am so sorry I haven't updated in ages. Life has kicked me in the butt a lot and I simply forgot...anyways...))

"He's been...quiet lately..." I thought as I stood hidden behind tall grass, watching Sora trace circles in the sand. "Distant too...like he's never even with us in his mind, far off." Something was wrong. Over time since these nightmares of his had begun, his eyes have grown more and more dull, as if he had lost all of his light. His cheer was fading, like there was a force preventing him from having happiness. When he did speak, his words were few and dull...non Sora-like. Whenever words do reach my ears from his lips, my darkness activates for a moment, I can very faintly feel a dark presence near him, but not coming from him.

"Or...am I overreacting? Now that I think on it, he hasn't slept a full night in almost a month...he has to be exhausted..." I thought to myself, repeating the same routine words I have heard from my mind many times, but my heart just could not accept it. I said this many times until I was able to look at him again, and I saw it. An untrained eye or stranger to Sora would have dismissed this as a trick to the eye or not have even seen it at all, even Kairi would have missed it. But I didn't.

The tip of one of the many spiked pieces of Sora's warm, chestnut colored hair, had turned midnight black.

I was alone on our island, walking in circles like I was searching for a treasure or something...but I didn't know what. Yet I could not stop searching...until out of the corner of my right eye I saw motion amidst the darkness. But when I turned, it was gone with no trace of ever being there. When I turned away again to resume my search I felt a hand grab a lock of my hair and pull hard.

"Give it back..." A male voice, deep and demonic, whispered beneath the mask he wore.

"G-G-Give what back?" I asked him with a stutter and a tone of pain from my hair being so harshly pulled. The male swiftly kicked my feet out from under me, but held me up somewhat by the lock of hair he held.

"Don't play stupid! Give it back!" He yelled in my face and jabbed a finger at my chest. I stood there dumb and unsure what to say to that, which angered him. He threw me down roughly and began to kick me with the force of a large animal. He kicked and kicked and kicked, until my entire body was too bruised and bloodied to move an inch or even call for help. He then ran a gloved fingertip down the right side of my collarbone, not stopping until it was right above my heart. Then he removed said glove and placed his newly bared hand over my heart. "Today is the-"

That's when I woke up at Riku's feet. I looked down at my body and oddly enough, my clothes were torn and bloody, bruises were also everywhere on my body though I couldn't remember why. It was...as if I had fought someone...and lost?! Yeah...right.

A few days after the incident with Sora's hair I found myself standing on the beach looking at the horizon while Sora slept, for once he seemed to be sleeping well. I thought back to the incident, recalling how not much long after the tip changed, the rest of that piece changed as well, leaving an entire streak of black to stick out terribly. As I thought, I was broken from my mind when I saw a beautiful girl with water-colored hair rose up from the waves. She slowly approached me, and before long she was directly in fron of me with a warm smile plastered on her face. I couldn't help but feel...I somehow knew her.

"Excuse me, but are you Sora?" She asked, her voice dripping with sweet candy. My eyes went wide, and it suddenly clicked.

"I'm Aqua."

(A/N: I feel like its pretty good...getting fun now! Hopefully...)
