Since I didn't upload a chapter last week, here's another one for the day :) ! I hope you guys like it.

I've been watching Naruto Shippuden a lot lately. Do any of you guys watch it? I'm currently in season 5, trying to catch up (I watch close to 10 episode a day _ ). I had seen all of the original Naruto when it was playing on tv. So glad that I don't have to watch that one too or I'd be sososo behind. I think watching it is helping me write more chapters though ^^.

I'm excited to write another Kid's chapter, maybe another one will come up after this? Oooo, or do you guys want me to continue the present part of the story in the next chapter? Tell me what you'd like in a review!

A Nobody: I like the Kids chapters too! They're enjoyable to write since I can honestly write about anything considering they don't continue you an exact timeline x) (like day after day). And yes that guy was creepy ; u ;. I wonder if anyone could recognize who he was by the bleak description I gave haha!~ His "bravo" should of been a clue (If I'm correct, I'm sure the character used that word within the video games). And no, your last review wasn't weird at all :) *lifts up box* No worries

Chapter 36: You're back

It was after practice and Sora began to change his clothes in the locker room. "I feel like I took a bath in my own sweat." His fringe was clinging to his face out of place. He snuck a glance at Roxas, it was awkward still being next to him after what had happened. Whatever sweat bath Sora had taken it seemed that Roxas was in it too, after all they did have to run twenty laps. The brunette actually doing an extra five as punishment for throwing the first punch.

"Sooo," Axel was sitting in between the two on the bench, leaning his elbows on his knees. "Why aren't you guys friends again?"

Sora could basically feel Roxas light on fire with rage.

"Axel, I told you this twice already!" The blonde yelled.

The redhead was unfazed.

Sora tried to hold back a giggle.

"You guys are such big babies." Hayner commented after closing his locker, finished with changing his clothes.

"I agree." Axel nodded his head, knowing that Hayner was referring to Sora and Roxas.

"Yeah, me too." Tidus came in beside Axel.

"Same, ya." Wakka appeared on the other side.

Sora turned around looking at them in disbelief. "When did they come in?!"

Roxas shut his locker. "Let's go, Axel." He sighed, trying to ignore the eavesdroppers. The blonde took Axel's hand, leading him out of the room.

"I can't help but feel bad." Sora put his hand over his heart.

"I'll see ya later, Sora." Hayner waved.

The brunette gave him a smile before closing his own locker.

"Are we still going to the park today?" Riku asked, standing behind the boy as he slipped on his shoes.

Sora turned around, biting his lip. "Do we have to?" He frowned.

"Our game is in two days and that's your response to extra practice," Riku responded. "Which you desperately need, if you ask me."

Sora's eyebrows furrowed at the insult. "Fine, but we stop at my house first? I want to get a different set of clothes to practice in."

"Alright." Riku pulled some of his hair behind ear, attracting Sora's attention to it.

"Your hair is getting really long, Riku!" He told him as they walked out of the locker room, headed to Sora's house. The sun was almost done setting.

"Hmph," The snow-head smirked. "The last time I heard that was when I let Selphie cut my hair." He gritted his teeth, remembering the awful sight of seeing what she had done to his hair and how his mom had to cut most of it off afterwards.

"Oh, I remember," Sora put his hand to his chin. A picture of Riku with short hair in middle school began to surface the brunettes mind. "She did a good job!"

"My mom was the one who did a good job considering Selphie had cut a huge piece of my hair out!"

Sora began to giggle. He guessed Riku still held a grudge over Selphie about that incident, considering he seemed angry while talking about it.

Riku frowned, looking down at boy from the corner of his eyes.

It was beginning to get dark outside, street lights beginning to turn on as well as shop lights. Namine was in the Tram Commons of Twilight Town, about to visit the mansion she was so fond of. She was in a pair of light denim overalls, the legs rolled up into cuffed shorts. Beneath it was a simple white tee and grey hoodie was worn atop everything. Her shoes were her favorite sandals that she could never imagine not wearing. They paired so well with almost anything.

Namine walked by herself toward the back side of the area, looking around to make sure no one saw her as she went through a crack in the bricked wall. "I wonder when they'll ever fix this."

She ran through the small woods area, always scared of what could be there, until she reached the front gates of the mansion. Reaching in her pocket she took out a key and unlocked the gate, having it creak open. "I should probably close it this time," She pulled the two parts of the gate together, locking it in place. "Don't want them to scare off anymore intruders."

Stepping inside she went up the stairs and into the white room.

"Lumina," She said. "Are you in here?"

No response.

"I can't sense her presence." Namine walked out the room.

She ran through the mansion, looking inside every room to see if anyone was in there. "Is Vanitas not here either?"

Namine was a special case. She had a strong sixth sense. Back when she was young, the students would make fun of her for having 'imaginary' friends. She wasn't able to tell the real world apart of the world of the dead. Even though she had moved away from the island, after being caught going to the mansion each night and talking to 'no one' the teasing began again. She had no friends, except for the ones she met here.

"There you guys are," Namine smiled, watching the white and blue floating orbs roam around the room. "I was worried you might have moved on."

The blue orb materialized itself for her, showing that of a boy with black hair spikey hair and golden eyes. He was floating in midair. "Don't be silly, Nami," He grinned. "We're bound here for good."

Namine smiled, placing her fingertips together in front of her. She remembered when she had first met Vanitas. He was very scary and full of gloom and suffering. Namine had thought that he was the boy she had met long ago, she wondered if Sora had grown up to look like how Vanitas does. Vanitas didn't age considering he was only a soul.

"More people should come visit us!" Lumina materialized, her hands on her hips as she pursed her lips.

"Not trying to burst your bubble, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who can see you."

Lumina pouted. "Hmph," She moved her body to look as if she was lying on her stomach, supporting her head up with hand. "If only there was someone else."

Namine crossed her arms against her chest.

"Hey mom, hey dad." Axel sat as his computer, eating a bag of chips. He had his lights off, Roxas resting on the red-heads bed out of view. The computer light made his face glow.

"For god's sake son," His father began. Axel's mother was sitting beside him, and expression of shock and worry on his face. "What happened to your face!?"

Axel obnoxiously ate another chip. "I fell of my skateboard," he said while chewing. "Yuffie gave me stitches. So I don't have a hospital bill."

"Does it hurt," His mother asked. She had gotten closer to the camera, as if she wanted to reach out and touch his face. "It looks painful."

"Only a little," Axel explained. "More so when I talk."

"Like now, so please end the video chat."

"We should speak to you another time then." He father put his hands on his knees. Axel internally sighed, relieved. He hated talking with his parents.

"We'll send you something honey," His mom smiled. "We're in Agrabah right now."

"Looking forward to it," Axel gave as much of a fake smile as he could. "Bye."

"Bye, son." His father responded.

"We love-"

Axel exited the video chat before his mother could finish and maneuvered his wheeling chair over to the bed. He waited a couple seconds before lifting up his foot and nudging Roxas' back. "Wake up!" He said with his mouth full of chips.

Roxas awoke, rubbing his eyes with his hand.

"Get up, get up, get up!" Axel ordered, nudging the boy harder.

"Would you stop," Roxas yelled, throwing a pillow at the red-head. "I'm up!"

It began to rain, starting with a drizzle and then beginning to pour. Sora ran up to his door step, Riku close behind him as the brunette shuffled through the smaller pockets of his backpack for his keys.

Once he found them he put the key in the knob, opening the door. The boys ran in, closing the door behind them as they stood in the front of it dripping wet.

"Of course it starts raining while I'm walking with you," Riku whined. "Jinx."

"Hey," Sora put his fist in the air, an angry pout on his face. "I'm not a-"

"Sora," He heard his mom. "Come in to the kitchen!"

Sora began to walk towards the kitchen area with Riku. He turned the corner, seeing his mom smiling at him. Sora's eyes went wide as he noticed the person sitting across the table from her. He dropped his backpack onto the floor in disbelief, watching as the familiar face gave him a grin.

"Beat."
