"It's been a long time since I last had one of these...", Riku said as he smirked to himself and took a bite out of the sea salt ice cream. He leaned his back against the tower, looking at the bright horizon. As he took another bite, a slight frown appeared on his face as he remembered what happened in that place... All thanks to him, Xion battled Roxas right there. He bit the ice cream and wondered if it was all worth it. Well was it? He sacrificed someone that respected him, a friend, so he could awaken Sora... Maybe there was another way? DiZ said there wasn't, but he was so blinded by revenge over the Nobodies that maybe there was another way and he wouldn't tell him. Riku shook his head, taking the last bite of his ice cream he said, sighing heavily, "Damm... Can't even enjoy this.", Riku said as he flicked the ice cream stick down the clock tower and punched the wall, rubbing his face as the memories started surging back.
Word had it that Sora was around Twilight town, he didn't know if Sora knew about the Organization XIII coming back, this time, he wanted to stick close to him, that way taking them down would be easier. Although... All of them came back, even the villains of the different worlds came back. What if... He, was back? Riku left the darkness, but something was calling him back, he felt cold every time he thought about it. He needed to be careful, he didn't want to go back to how he was, he chose the road to dawn, not the one to darkness.
Riku placed his hands inside his pockets and walked out of the train station, the "Magic Train" wasn't there... Maybe Sora went to Yen Sid's tower? Well if he did, there wasn't really anything he could do, the train was gone meaning Riku couldn't access the tower, it looked like he needed to burn some time until the train arrived. As he stepped out of the train station, a brown cloaked figure appeared before him. Right after he looked at it, he was already charging at it, his keyblade summoned and ready to hit whoever it was. He took a full swing, his eyes with a murderous look, but all he hit was air. Riku rolled and looked around, stopping at the sight of the figure, walking back wards to wards the alleyway. Riku said, maintaining his look as he scanned the figure for any signs of hostile behavior, but he heard a cold and cruel laugh. There was no doubt, it was him! "WHY ARE YOU HERE?! I BEATEN YOU! I'M NOT THE DARKNESS, I'M THE DAWN! GO BACK TO WHERE YOU BELONG!",Riku said, almost drooling in rage. The figure only shook his head slightly and said with a cold tone, "Feeble boy... Is this what you've become? A weak offspring, thinking there really is a middle road?... Pathetic. We both know you belong to the darkness. My arrival is inevitable boy, you are darkness, remember that.", the brown figure said as it vanished from Riku's eyesight.
Riku bit his lower lip, tightening the grip on his keyblade he started running, hoping that he could catch him and slice his head off for everything he did to him. Riku reached the plaza where the Struggle fights would usually happen, he glanced around and found nothing. He looked down, trying his best to hold his anger tight. He plunged his keyblade on the ground and sat beside it, leaning his forehead on his knee and gripping his pants tight. He smirked and said to himself, "Guess I do deserve this punishment for all I've done...".

Sora was indeed hanging around twilight town. He liked that place. Lots of friendly people and no heartless running around. Just those nobodies but he RARELY saw them running around, so all and all it was quite relaxing in that town.
Typical for Sora he had fallen asleep with all this "relaxation". He had slumped himself against a wall and dozed. He was dreaming about his last adventure to twilight town and the rest of the worlds. He'd met some really nice people here in twilight town, but also started a new journey against the organization and more heartless. His dream was about almost the same thing, except more was at stake, everything got a little bit harder, like the settings on a video game, the more advaced level you are on, the harder it is.
Sora's dream then took a turn for the worst. It was no longer a dream as it was a nightmare. What if he...What if he and everyone else failed to defeat the darkness. Would the Organization get kingdom hearts? Would the heartless make more worlds disappear?
Sora then shot his eyes open as the nightmare ended. He sat there for a moment remembering where he was and what was going on. He sighed and got up with a stretch. "Heh. No more sleeping against walls." He told himself as he finished his stretch and walked towards the Plaza to see if anything exciting was going on. From there he saw Riku throw his keyblade to the ground hard and sit next to it. "Huh?" Was all the response sora could come up with before half running over to Riku. "Riku! Im surprised to see you here and....looking kinda down. You okay?" Sora asked as he looked down at Riku.

She hated this place. Hated it with a passion. Yet, at the same time, she loved this place. Love it with a delight that was so much stronger than the hate she harbored for it. There were so many bad memories here, but, in spite of that, there were so many good memories here to outbalance those bad memories. When she looked up at the clock tower, from the nice of it, she couldn’t help but allow for a small smile to form on her lips. Without her hood firmly out of place, she felt as if she was exposing herself, her true Replica self, to the world. She’d done it before, before being the keyword. Gone around this place with and without her hood. Met some of it’s people, and even, kind of, made friends with some of it’s people. Well, one of them, and she couldn’t even remember his face now. Shaking her head up, she glanced back up at the clock tower, again, and smirked. She remembered what’d she written in the little diary-type journal that Saix had given her.“We watched the sunset, today. The three of us. I didn’t think we’d ever be able to do that again. It’s like that dream I had-the one where I was by the shore with Roxas and Axel-watching the sunset over the water. I just want to stay with them, but how? What should I do?” She shook her head and let out a small sigh. Back then, her problems seemed to simple, and so easily solved. Especially when they were compared to the ones she had now. Back then, at least she had been able to see them still. At least she had been able to spend that day with them, a day she wouldn’t, and hadn’t, forgotten, even though they had.
She didn’t hold that against, them, though. She knew they’d forget, and she had accepted it whenever she had agreed to…to fade, or whatever she had done, in order to restore Sora. She knew what he looked like, too. His image burned ever vividly in her mind. From all the dreams she had had that were his, and all the memories of his that were rightfully restored in his head, yet still played in her mind. She grit her teeth together and took a step away from the clock tower right as popsicle hit the ground where she once stood. A tiny gasp came out of her mind, and she ran away. Ran until she had reached the Sandlot, and was gasping with breath. “Riku gave me this time. Axel told me to spend it thinking for myself. The Organization is determined to erase either me or Roxas. They’ll never allow for us to coexist. I love Roxas and Axel. I’m sure Saix would scoff at that. Call it a trick of my artificial memories, but the time I spent on that clock tower were real. I with the three of us could stay together, just like this, forever, but I have to end this. I’ll never forget today’s sunset, even if Roxas and Axel do, I won’t forget.” She recited to herself. It was hard for her to believe that she had written that merely fifty-two days after she had written the other one, and, that, four days later would be the day she had faded away. She took a deep breath in and let the darkness surround her. Surround her and take her back to the clock tower. She didn’t like how she had run away from the place, but, as she sat down at her usual spot, with her feet dangling over the edge, she couldn’t help but grab her head.
She still remembered what had happened, right here, in this very spot. How she had attacked Roxas while under the influence of Xemnas’ machine. Xion scoffed to herself, right then. Was she really going back to putting all the blame on Xemnas’ machine? It angered her that she did that, but she did nothing to shake the memory out of her head other than pushing herself back up and going to walk down out of the clock tower. Whoever was up here, whether it was those three friends she remembered seeing the last time she was here, or whether it was Roxas or Axel, she wanted to find them. If it happened to be a different trio, then she’d just watch them from afar with envy climbing through her. Once she had reached the bottom though, her eyes darted over to where she had faded, and she winced horribly. His words were still in her mind. It made her want to cry, but at least he had remembered her, in the end, even if he did forget again. She shook her head and walked away from the station. She considered opening another portal, and going somewhere else, but, before she could, she heard a yell. On instinct, she threw her hood over her head and headed in the direction she had heard it. When she got there, who she saw was not who she expected to see.
Sure, the yell had been familiar. She had known, inside of her, who it had belonged to, but that hadn’t stopped Xion from running over to make sure. She kept the hood over her head, even though she knew Riku would recognize her if he saw her. And the boy who had arrived a little before she had, she recognized him, too. It was Sora. She knew he wouldn’t recognize her. Chances were he didn’t even know she was alive, or that she was his Replica. She decided, vowed, that she wouldn’t leak that, either. But, seeing the two of them there, she couldn’t help but feel as if someone had punched her. The two best friend’s were reunited. And they looked as if they were missing someone, too. “Kairi,” She called loudly, although she wished she hadn’t once the words had left her mouth. “That’s who you’re missing.” She said in a much quieter voice while walking towards them. “What’s the matter, Riku? Feeling a little down?” She let a smile grace her lips, and she was sure that’s the only part of her they would see.

Riku's mind started to wander, he was thinking about what Ansem said. He abandoned and defeated the darkness, he now followed the road to dawn, not the one to darkness. He was darkness anymore, so why would Ansem appear before him again? Why would his darkness come back? So many questions started to pop up from the depths of his mind as he sighed to himself. He shouldn't listen to what he said... That's what Ansem wanted, to screw around with his mind, manipulating him to join the darkness again or to surrender his body to him. Well he wouldn't do it, no matter what. If he came back that would mean he would try and hurt his friends and that Riku couldn't let happen.
Riku laid back, but something caught his attention, someone was running to wards him, his first thought was to grab his keyblade, but he recognized who was running. It was Sora, his best friend. It's been a while since he last saw him. The last time he did was when he knew the Organization was back. Riku's first reaction was to adorn the coat and go alert the King, he would know what was the best course of action. He left without telling anyone, he wouldn't want any of them to know, but it was unavoidable, news traveled fast.
Riku smirked as Sora talked to him. "Nah it's nothing, just thinking to myself ya knuckle-head.", Riku said as he let out a faint laugh. " So, let me guess... By how messy your hair is, I bet you've been sleeping ya lazy bum. You never change.", Riku said smiling at Sora. He just loved to tease him. He would never let Sora know what was going on, that was his problem, not his friend's.
Riku got up swiftly, cleaning the dust of his pants, but a sound made him rotate and grab his keyblade, boy he was really jumpy today. Riku smiled as he recognized Xion, although he didn't catch what she said. He smirked and said, " Nah. Like I said to Sora, I was just thinking about something. Oh which reminds me... Xion, meet Sora. Lazy-bones, meet Xion.". Riku hoped this meeting would go smoothly... He really didn't know how either of them would react to each other, but it was inevitable and if something went wrong, Riku would try his best to protect both. Maybe with this reunion, Xion would understand why Riku did what he had to do back then. How he hoped she could forgive him, but he couldn't force it on her.
"What are you two doing here?...", Riku said as he dismissed his keyblade and placed his hands behind his neck, looking at Xion first, then at Sora.

Sora didn't buy Riku's explination about whatever he was thinking about being, nothing. Of course Riku could keep that to himself if he wanted to, Sora wouldn't push. If Riku wanted so share what it was, he would have. Sora then looked at Xion as she arrived. She seemed so...Familiar. He thought about all the worlds and all the people he had met and saw, But he didn't rememer meeting or seeing here anywhere. Maybe it was just his imagination playing tricks on him again. But she did make him think of Kairi. How Sora wanted to see her so badly before having to battle all this darkness that was rising. He wanted to tell her many things, but being a hero like himself there simply wasnt enough time in the world. He had many times wanted to go back to Destiny Islands and just talk to her. He wanted to, but...duty called for something else.
Sora let out a small sigh and smiled to Xion as Riku introduced them. "Hi there." He said with his usual goofy grin as he rubbed the back of his head. He then glanced over at Riku. "And yes, i was sleeping, but im not Lazy. All the time...I was tired, i've been wandering around worlds too much lately." He said with a yawn and a stretch. "So. Riku, what brings you to Twilight town?"

Xion sighed slightly, quietly, before pulling her hood off of her face. Her messy black hair stumbled forward into her eyes, and she pushed it back. She made sure she wasn’t standing too close to the boys, and she messed with the front of her coat. She felt…weird being in it after she had gone a while without it on. Still, she felt as if she could not come to this place without having her coat on. She closed her eyes, making sure she could still hear their every word and move. She didn’t want Sora to see her eyes. To see his eyes…When Riku commented on how messy Sora’s hair was, she couldn’t help but mess with her own hair. It was messy, too. She grit her teeth together and yelled at herself. She needed to stop comparing herself to him. She wasn’t Sora, and she’d never be. Like what they said to her before, she was her own person, even if she was a Replica. When Riku introduced them, she stared at him, coolly. “Hello.” She said in a rather cold voice. She blinked, once, at them before turning around and looking back at the Clock tower from where they were. Even though it was harder to see it from where she was, she still stared at it. With these two boys, she felt so out of place, even if one of them did look like Roxas. At the same time that she had wanted to meet him, she didn’t want to meet him.
She had been, relatively, fine with just knowing of Sora and not actually knowing who he was. Her eyes still on the Clock Tower, she listened what they were saying. Sora wandered around the worlds? She wondered if he’d ever been to Halloween Town or Wonderland. She shook her head, inwardly, before smiling slightly at Sora. “I’ve heard a lot about you, Sora.” She admitted. Xion, of course, said nothing more to him as she turned to answer Riku’s question. Yet, she couldn’t answer him, could she? It wasn’t as if she could tell him what she was here. She didn’t know much about her reason for being here, anyway. Something along the lines of wanting to see if Roxas was here again. She missed him so much, so very much. Both him and Axel. She hadn’t seen them since she had first…since she had first come back. “I’m just visiting the town. Twilight Town has such good sites, you know. Perfect for memories. Especially the Clock Tower and the station below it. Those are my absolute favorite places.”
She gave him a meaningful stare before nodded her head along with Sora’s question. She doubted that Riku would come here just for the sake of thinking to run into Sora. “Wow, Sora. If you go around yawning like that, people are going to think you’re lazy.” She said kidding.

"Pff! As if! You know you're a lazy bum.", Riku said, smirking slightly as he smacked Sora lightly. He and Kairi were always sitting around the beach doing nothing other then sleeping or resting. Before the three left the island for the first time, Riku was the one that did all of the work, except gathering supplies for the trip. Riku didn't mention what he thought about that though... After what happened, it was best if that was kept in the past. Deep down he still wondered why Sora was the chosen one, he just didn't think much about it, he didn't want to screw things up. Again...
"Meh not much, ever since we both left Destiny Islands I've been wandering off...", Riku said, putting his hands behind his neck. But a frown appeared for a brief moment when Xion talked... He knew what happened at the clock tower, it was all his fault. He was starting to feel guilty. He tried his best to hide his frown and looked at Sora for a second or so. Couldn't he feel anything? Riku felt like giving him such a smack... There stood the one that saved him, yet he didn't know. But Riku wouldn't say a word about it... He didn't know if Xion wanted him to know or not, he returned the meaningful look, trying to make a point.
Riku did laugh when Xion said that to Sora. With his usual mocking tone Riku said, "See? Even the people you meet think your lazy.", he continued to laugh. But something felt odd about the place where the three were. He felt something moving. Riku looked around, trying his best to not draw the two's attention, but he didn't see anything. He shook his head, smirking at himself and thinking that he was loosing it.

Sora smiled some. "Fine. I'll admit I can be Lazy at times." He shrugged some. He let his eyes wander looking at the surroundings. Nothing unusual. At least in this town, this world, the heartless didn't appear, that's mostly why Sora was here, to relax a little. He finally looked at Riku. "Have you seen or heard from Kairi? When I left Destiny Islands she wasn't there. I figured you might know where she is?" Sora asked curiously. He had no idea where she went but just hoped she was safe, he worried alot about her. He then looked as Xion, still trying to recall if he met her somewhere, something about her just...made him remember things he shouldn't. Something about her, made him wonder if something happened...that involved him that he didn't know about. "Say Xion was it?" Sora began. "Have we ever met before? You seem so...familiar to me." Well this sounded stupid. She could be a complete stranger and there was Sora blabbing away again.

Xion let out a giggle and she shook her head lightly. The two of them together. They seemed so…so happy. An emotion she knew she’d never get the chance to express. Not unless she regained a heart, not like that was going to happen. Xemnas had been so sure that the key do doing that, the key that rested wither Sora, Roxas, and herself, was by opening Kingdom Hearts, but she knew, now, that that was a failed plan. That getting a heart that way was never going to happen. She felt her eyes lower slightly, as if she were lost in her own world, and she was, too. Someone had once remarked, although she couldn’t remember quite who, that she, and Roxas, both had the knack for zoning out whenever they wanted to. “You two are…” She paused to think of a word. They weren’t annoying, or at least they weren’t annoying yet. “weird.” She stated finally, although she kept a smile on her face. “I mean that in a good way, though. I mean, after all, when you look at who I hang out with, they’re not exactly the most normal people in the world.”
When they started talking about Destiny Islands, though, she couldn’t help but officially drop out of the conversation. She didn’t want to talk to them about what used to be their home. She didn’t even really feel like talking with them at all. She felt…awkward around them. Like, she didn’t belong. And she knew she didn’t belong with them. They already had their own trio. They didn’t need someone else to step in and just fill the blanks. Feeling awkward that she was still standing up while they were sitting down, Xion slowly sank towards the ground and pulled her knees up towards her. Afterwards, she laid her head on the top of her knees and smiled to herself. She had pointed it out to the two of them, although she doubted that either of them had heard her. She had mentioned that they had needed a Kairi to complete them, and, when Sora brought up the fact that he hadn’t seen Kairi in a while, she glanced up at Riku. “Actually, Sora, we have. Uhm, but I guess it was a while back.” She frowned apologetically at Riku. She still ‘felt bad’ about the fact that she had been so mean to Kairi when they had first met, even though the redheaded girl didn’t deserve it. She looked down at her knees, refusing to meet either boy’s eyes. At least, this time, she wasn’t rude to Sora. She didn’t think she could forgive herself if she did that.
But she shook her head, still not glancing up at them. Internally, she winced when Riku laughed. She wasn’t used to hearing him laugh. Mostly, she was used to hearing him speak in a soft voice, a regular voice, or an angry voice. She hadn’t ever really heard him laugh. It made her wince that he felt so free around Sora. “I never said that, Riku. I just said it’d make others think he looks lazy.” She said matter-of-factly. When Sora called her, she looked up at him and nodded her head, once. “Yes, Xion. It’s an anagram.” She stated simply. Her eyes widened slightly and then gave Riku a somewhat panicked look. She didn’t know, exactly, how to answer that. They hadn’t met before, but it wasn’t strange that she seemed familiar to him. “No, Sora. In a technical kind of way, we haven’t met before. But, if you’ve looked in a mirror, then we’ve, kind of, met.” She gave Riku a pleading look after finishing her statement. She didn’t want to continue to explain herself.

"At times? Please! You are the example of lazy.", Riku said, bumping Sora's shoulder with a soft punch. Riku missed the times he spent with his best friends. Frankly, from his past that's the only part he enjoys, at least when he was with Sora and Kairi he didn't screw things up. But Riku would probably do it all over again, even if it pained him to do so. He didn't know why, but he would do it again.
Riku smiled at Xion and said in a playful tone, "Nah, this only happens when knuckle-head here is around.", Riku let out a brief laugh. But when Sora mentioned Kairi, Riku stopped and looked up, sighing and frowning slightly he said, "Yeah... I ran into her a while back in the Realm of darkness. But lost her when we were traveling between worlds. Don't worry about her though... She can take care of herself.", Riku was trying to avoid telling him about what happened and he had hope that he was right about Kairi being able to take care of herself. Frankly he wanted to forget what happened back at the castle, what he said to Xion was totally uncalled for, even if she angered him.
Riku smiled at Xion and nodded, but Sora was pretty lazy, at least that was how Riku saw it. But he had to handed to him, he did some pretty amazing stuff for a lazy bum. The smile faded away as the two continued to talk. It seemed that Xion was hinting Sora to wards the answer, but what would Sora think or do when he found out what Xion was and what she was created for? Riku gave a look at Xion, a look that clearly indicated that he wasn't sure she should go on with this. But it faded away quickly... RIku couldn't control it, one way or another, Sora would probably find out.
[OOC: Ok... Seriously, this post just sucked... I even think I did a few grammar mistakes >_>. Sorry]

Sora simply chuckled a little as Riku said he was the example of lazy. Maybe he was right...Sometimes. He kept up his silent laughter as Riku then responded to Xion. "Yep, thats right, Only the weird comes out when im around." He said with his wacky grin. Then heard Xion's reply to his question earlier, about them meeting.
First Sora gave off a confused face. Trying to fit the pieces together. He thought really hard about it as she kept talking, then she said if he looked in a mirror they have met, kind of. He started to turn towards the Nobody theory. Roxas was Sora's other half and they had some...resemblence. Was this yet another Nobody of his? How many of these did he have? "Um. Are you like a nobody?" He asked, he hoped he wasn't being offensive just incase she wasn't...or was.

Xion let her hand move upward to cover her lips so that she could let out a laugh. To her, it felt both weird and natural at the same time. She forced herself to stop before shaking her head. She knew why she held the two emotions. She felt that it was weird because she, as Xion, had never laughed so much around the two of them. Never so much in front of Riku, and she never laughed in front of Sora since she had, technically, met him for the first time today. That feeling of laughter that made it weird, it overpowered the natural feeling. She wasn't entirely sure where that emotion came from, but she was sure it had something to do with Sora. After all, weren't majority of the things she felt because of Sora? All of them seemed to come from him, whether she wanted them to or not, and she usually didn't. Xion took a deep breath, yet a quiet one, and smiled at the two of them. It almost felt like, when she looked at the Clock Tower in the distance, back then. Oddly, in her eyes, Sora's eyes became more familiar to her. They were Roxas' eyes, and, for a while, she was transported back on top of the Clock Tower with Roxas and Axel. She smiled at them, at the memory, before snapping herself back to reality. She needed to stop doing that, going into those dazes.
Frankly, she started laughing. Why, she hardly knew, but she couldn't stop. It was at the two of them, but more directed at Riku than at Sora. He was blaming it all on the latter boy, but she knew that he helped with it too. Xion flushed, noticably, when Riku directed a smile at her, but she waved her finger at him before leaning over and flicking his forehead. "Don't be blaming it all on him, Riku. I'm sure you have plenty of stories about you being weird." she giggled before turning serious whenever Riku specified about Kairi. She felt herself colden again, and she looked away from the other not. Apparently, he wasn't going to go into the specifics of everything that had happened in Castle Oblivion. She supposed that that was all for the best. The less Sora knew about Castle Oblivion, the better that would all be off. The less he knew, and the less he remembered. It was strange. She felt like she was lying to him.
She knew she wasn't, though. And she knew she didn't have to tell Sora the truth about anything. They were connected, yes, but that didn't make them the best of friends, and that didn't mean that she had to tell him every detail about herself. Actually, she felt as if it would be better if she could just keep it all a secret from him. He didn't need to know what she was, and he wasn't going to know unless Riku, or someone else, told him on a different occasion. Then again, she knew better than to think that Riku would tell him what she was. Maybe he thought about what he had did to his own Replica. Riku had killed him, and, maybe, he was afraid of that happening to her. Afraid that Sora would kill her. Xion doubted that he would, especially since they had, kind of, gotten to know each other. But then, Sora started to guess at what she was. She had seen the clearly confused look on his face, and it made her want to laugh again. However, the used-to-be calm mood was gone now, and she'd have to work to get it back. When he guessed at her being a nobody, she simply smiled and shook her head. Her smile was a hateful and jealous one, but she couldn't help it. "Unfortunately, Sora, no. I'm not. I'd rather it, but I'm not a Nobody." But a smaller smile replaced that one, and this time, it was saddened. "But I look like a certain one you know, don't I? Not so much the face, but the eyes. I might, also, bear a resemblance to a very close friend of yours." [/size]

Riku laughed lightly. This felt right and somewhat familiar. Three friends kicking back and speaking to each other without a care in the world. The image of a orange sunset, being replaced by a dark veil popped into his mind as he looked up at the sky. He really did miss those days, although, for some strange reason, this felt like back then. Riku shook his head slightly, he shouldn't think about that too much, it would only torture him to think about it. Riku said as he head locked Sora and noggied him lightly, "You know it!", he then smirked and said to Xion with a slight grin on his face, "Pfff as if. I'm not this wise-guy.".
Although Riku frowned slightly when both of them started to talk about what Xion was. Riku still wasn't sure how Sora would feel when he found out that Xion sacrificed herself to awaken him. Plus, he didn't know his reaction if he knew that Riku was the one that persuaded her to do it. Riku's stomach went into a knot, if this was torturing him, he couldn't hope to imagine how Xion must've felt. Riku sighed and let his mind wander, he was pondering about what would've happened if he hadn't convinced her to throw his life away. Although something made him snap back to reality. His eyes landed on a familiar figure, looking upon the three. Riku's eye widened and he got up in one swift jump, his teeth also grit and he narrowed his eyes at the figure. It was him again, Riku hated that image, that brown coat and his cold and cruel stare. Riku remembered his laugh, his evil laugh as he tried to take control over his body. RIku shouted at the figure, "DAMM YOU! DON'T YOU LOOK DOWN UPON ME!", then he charged at him, swinging his blade at the brown cloaked figure. Although he only hit air. He reappeared on top of the building beside the entrance to Station Heights. Without listening to any of the two, Riku ran towards him, not even looking back. Little did he knew that that was all in his head. Riku followed the figure as it teleported between the buildings, not paying attention to anyone. He was determined to finish this once and for all. He would not let him get to his friends again!

Sora chuckled some and then was put into the headlock as Riku noogied him. Wasn't the first time so Sora was used to this friendly behavior. He looked at Xion as she spoke. Well, she wasn't nobody. He ran her words through his head and looked at her eyes. No, not her eyes. His eyes. They were exactly the same. How could that be? Well, she wasn't a nobody like Roxas was. What was she? He looked her over and she didn look like a close friend...She looked like...Kairi...this started to make sora's mind race. His thoughts trying to put everything together it almost hurt. Sora didn't know what to respond to that, he stood there with a blank stare on his face trying to understand what was going on. The quiet was broken when Riku yelled at...nothing.
Sora turned his head to watch Riku as he went and slashed his keyblade at air and nothingness. Sora raised an eyebrow and just watched as Riku kept swinging at air. What was up with Riku now? Sora, being Sora, decided to try to add some humor to his words. "Dude, Chill. What did the air ever do to you?" Sora said as his eyes followed Riku where ever he ran. It got him completely distracted of trying to figure out...what exactly Xion was.

Considering Naminé was supposed to erase Sora’s memories of everything that had happened in Castle Oblivion, Xion was pretty sure Sora wouldn’t ever figure out what she was. That both relieved her, and saddened her at the same time. She didn’t want it to have to be a secret because, eventually, she was sure she was going to let it slip, but she also didn’t want to be the one to tell him, or even be near him whenever he found out, in case he wasn’t exactly, if at all, pleased with her. He might attack her, much like Riku had attacked his own Replica, and, it was just better for Sora not to know. “As if...?” She trailed off. “That sounds familiar...”
Once she heard Riku yell, she snapped her attention back on the two boys. Riku was off running and teleporting away, yet she and Sora were still here? A clenching feeling replaced the feeling of ease in her stomach, and she tried to call out for him, but nothing left her throat. She was stuck. Maybe she would just wait until Sora made a move, that way she wouldn’t have to do anything foolish. Did Riku want them to follow him, anyway? He seemed mad at whatever he was fighting, and, that led her to ask another question, mentally, of course. Did he realize that, what he was chasing after, wasn’t really there? “Wow, Sora. I find it hilarious that you just find something to joke about out of nothing.” she stated, somewhat sarcastically.
(Sorry It’s short...for my standards. I had to get off, but I wanted to post something...) [/blockquote]
