A/N: Wow, um, I'm sorry that I haven't exactly been updating this story all that regularly for awhile, but yeah, I'm here now, so that's all that matters! Ok, so now, I shall be going into the plot of 358/2 days, one of my favorite games in the Kingdom Hearts franchise, but also the one that took me longer to finish, ever (I finished Kingdom Hearts 2 in a week when I first got it..) so yeah… Anyway, I just wanna explain that my writing skills may get pretty crappy from here on out, because I have always found writing the plot involving days has been extremely difficult to explain, especially when writing it, so I apologize if you lose interest in the near future. Plus, I was planning to involve chain of memories, having Hope go to Castle Oblivion too, but I decided against it, seeing as I haven't exactly played Chain of Memories, and without Hope, who will eat ice-cream with Roxas, and later on, Xion! Hehe, okay, I think I've said too much, so go on and read the newest chapter!

Disclaimer: I only own my copies of the games, not the characters.

When I woke up that morning, I figured that it would just be another normal day and all. But when I walked into the Grey Area and found it empty, I knew that something was wrong. I had no clue as to where everyone had gone, and I had no clue on how to find them. So, as I figured out places of where everyone had possibly gone, I heard someone walk into the room.

"Y'know, you really should try to memorize where everything is." I turned around to find Axel smirking at me.

"Well, maybe if the place wasn't so very vast and empty like, I wouldn't have a problem." I defended, walking over to where he was. "By the way, where is everyone?"

"Meeting room. We've got a new member today. Xemnas sent me to come and find you."

I nodded my head as he opened up a portal and pulled me through. As soon as we entered the large room with the thirteen chairs, Axel had me sit in his with him, seeing as how it could conviently fit two people in it.

"Good tidings, friends," Xemnas began, his voice echoing as he spoke to all of us. "Today, is a momentous day." I noticed that everyone suddenly became interested in what Xemnas was saying. "I am pleased to announce that a new comrade has been chosen to wear the coat."

My attention was turned towards the center of the room as the sound of footsteps broke the silence. In came Saix, leading a boy with blonde and spiky hair, who was looking down the entire time.

"Number XIII: Roxas. The Keyblades chosen one." Xemnas said, smirking down at the boy.

'Keyblade? Why….why does that sound so….familiar?' The boy, Roxas looked up, and strangely enough, he looked right at me with cerulean eyes. Blonde hair, blue eyes…he looked just like…just like Ventus. But…why?

Soon afterwards, everyone left the room, including Axel and I. Apparently, I didn't have any missions today, and Axel had already finished his, so we portaled back into his room.

"So, what do you think about the newbie?" Axel asked me as I plopped down onto his bed.

I didn't answer him because I was too caught up in my thoughts about the boy. He looked just like Ventus, the boy that I remembered meeting back when I was fifteen. The appearance of both of them was just…so uncanny. It was like looking back at someone in my past, but it wasn't the same person, I could tell. And Keyblade…the name sounded so familiar, but where have I heard it before?

"Hey, anyone home? HOPE!" I jumped slightly and found Axel's face right in front of me, causing me to yelp a bit. "I didn't know I was that scary…You okay? You were spacing out…"

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something." I explained, giving him a reassuring grin. "What were you saying?"

He rolled his eyes. "I was asking you what you thought about the newbie?"

"Oh…well, I cant really say anything since I haven't met him personally yet, but if I could say something right now, I'd say he looks alright." He was still up in my face, so I pushed him back bit so I could have my personal space. "So, what should we do for the rest of the day?"

He smiled at me and sat down next to me on his bed. "Sleep."

"Sleep? Is that all you ever wanna do?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "What, it's not like I ever get a day off around here. Might as well use my free time for snoozing."

I pouted at him. "But, I don't want you to take a nap! I want you to play with me!"

He quirked an eyebrow, a smug smile coming onto his face. "Why, Hope! I had no idea that you were like that."

I felt my face heat up instantly as I realized how wrong what I had said sounded. "Look, if you're gonna just sleep, be my guest! I just wont talk to you!" I turned my back at him, staring at the wall in boredom.

"Aw, Hope, c'mon! Don't be like that…" I ignored him, keeping my attention on the wall. "You know that I would do something with you, but I'm tired! Look, if you let me take a nap, and I let you stay in here with me, I'll take you for ice-cream later." He wrapped his arms around me from behind, pulling my back to his chest.

"….Promise?"

The vibrations that his laugh made went through my back. "I promise."

Dear Diary,

Today, the organization got a new member. Number XIII, Roxas. When I saw him, I thought he was Ventus, the boy that I met when I was 15. It was like looking at someone from the past, but I know that Roxas isn't Ventus, or his nobody for that fact. I wonder what the future holds in store for the organization now.

You are the only one who can save the ones you love. But if you wish to do so, you must pick the right one…The one who you know you will always love, no matter what. It is that kind of love that can make a heart for that person. But…let it be known that not even you can help everyone. Because…if you use that much power, it will take away that light and throw you into darkness.

It will kill you, Hope Daniels….It will kill you.

A/N: Short much? ^-^;; Sorry that it was so short, but I promise that next chapter will be somewhat longer, and Roxas will be in it! LATER TATERS!
