A meeting that was never ment to be.

[Kairi]

<AriannaTheKeybearer>Kairi sat in the kitchen with a sea salt ice cream, having been just wandering around the castle, posting up her pencil drawings in her room, doing whatever to make herself feel more at home. She took a bite out of it, it tasting oddly familiar.

<themightyalexa>AriannaTheKeybearer: A soft sigh as Marluxia walked in, searching the cabinets for tea leave but only finding Xaldin's stach as he had thoroughly cleared out his own. The man's skin was a bit pale, his right arm shaking a bit as he lifted it. A soft blink before turning around and looking at Kairi. "Oh... Kairi.. I didn't see you there... Hello."

<AriannaTheKeybearer>themightyalexa: She looked over, and smiles, nodding towards him. "Hello, Marluxia." she then noticed his pale skin. "You alright?" she asked as she bit into the sea salt ice cream.


<themightyalexa>AriannaTheKeybearer: Marluxia nodded, deciding instead to go for coffee, though he hated it. He nearly drowned it in sugar and cream. "I'm... fine... Just tired..."

<AriannaTheKeybearer>themightyalexa: "Hmm...." she looked away, as she took another bite from it. "I'm hoping you aren't coming down with a bug, it looks a awful lot like it."

<themightyalexa>AriannaTheKeybearer: A soft chuckle, shaking his head as he took a sip of the bitter drink. "No... not likely..."

<AriannaTheKeybearer>themightyalexa: "Okay, but still, take it easy alright? I wouldn't want the first person I met in the Org to get sick." she said as she finished her ice cream.

<themightyalexa>AriannaTheKeybearer: "Thank you for your concern but... I'll be fine...."

<AriannaTheKeybearer>themightyalexa: She nodded, and tossed out the stick, and walked over to the fridge, opening it and pulling out a container of strawberries, closing the fridge, opening the strawberry container and biting off one.

<themightyalexa>AriannaTheKeybearer: "Enjoying your stay here? Everything going alright?" He asked, watching her.

<AriannaTheKeybearer>themightyalexa: She nodded. "A few bumps in the road, got a few cuts from a few holomissions, but I'm doing well." she said as she covered up a large cut on her neck with her hair, it was clotted and had dried blood around it, it namely from a holo Zip Slasher.

<themightyalexa>AriannaTheKeybearer: "Well... most of that is good to hear... Just be sure to take care of yourself. Don't do anything too risky."

<AriannaTheKeybearer>themightyalexa: She nodded. "Okay, thanks for the advice." she said as she bit out of another strawberry.


<themightyalexa>AriannaTheKeybearer: MArluxia really didn't have much more to say to the girl, he had already noticed the cut but... he was hiding a large nasty looking bruise on his shoulder so he didn't have any room to talk....

<DemZexMarly22>Sora walks into the castle quite confused. First of all Xigbar, the man who had brought him back to the world, was no where in sight. This "negotiation" was looking more and more like a trap as the time went on. He walked into the kitchen f the large castle, the one just previously he had been slicing through nobodies like they were butter and rushing to the top to defeat the infamous lord of nothing. It felt awkward to be here again, this time for peaceful purposes, maybe. Nothing would be as awkward as what he saw in the kitchen though...


<AriannaTheKeybearer>DemZexMarly22: themightyalexa: Kairi saw Sora, a anime sweatdrop going down her head, she looked at him, completely wordless. "Uh....." she covered her cut more, thinking Sora would get the wrong idea if he saw that.

<themightyalexa>AriannaTheKeybearer: DemZexMarly22: Blinking a bit he looked to Sora, "Oh.. if it isn't the infamous hero of the worlds. I wonde rif you even remember me after Namine erased your memories."

<DemZexMarly22>AriannaTheKeybearer: Sora's face was stunned. "What the crap!?" he asked with a very puzzled look now spreading across his face. What was Kairi doing here anyways? He walked up to her, seeing that she was clutching herself, it was weird for her to do that. "Are you okay?" he asked, putting his hand onto her shoulder gently. His blue eyes stared at her intensely. If they had even harmed one hair on her head...


<AriannaTheKeybearer>DemZexMarly22: themightyalexa: "I'm fine Sora, don't worry." she said as she looked at him, setting the strawberries on the table. How was she gonna explain that she was gonna stay here and try to help them in their quest? She herself didn't even know how she would tell her best friend that.

<DemZexMarly22>themightyalexa: Sora glanced quickly over towards the sound of a familiar voice, familiar but he couldn't place it. Weird. "No...I don't know you..." he sighed. He looked over the man quickly, noticing his black cloak. "You must be an organization member." he growled, turning his look back to his friend.

<DemZexMarly22>AriannaTheKeybearer: Sora sighed. She was keeping something from him. "Kairi...why are you even here? I mean...this is the Organization's stronghold! This is the last place you should be until we can be sure they're intentions are viable and...sane." he muttered looking back to her. He knew she was hurt, he just knew it.

<themightyalexa>DemZexMarly22: AriannaTheKeybearer: "And if I am?" He sighed, things were about to get annoying. Just what he needed, "And if you're thinking we harmed her... we haven't."


<AriannaTheKeybearer>DemZexMarly22: themightyalexa: "Sora..... I'm fine, just don't worry." she pulled away, and looked at Marluxia. "I think you should explain...." she muttered to him.

<DemZexMarly22>Sora wasn't convinced. Why did the mysterious pink haired nobody need to explain? What was going on here? "Kairi...I don't understand..." he sighed, turning away from her. It wasn't like her to keep things from him, it hurt him that she didn't trust him enough to tell what was going on.

<themightyalexa>Marluxia chuckled softly. "I'm certain sOra, who is brimming with trust for us after having sent us all to darkness once already will resonably listen to me~" Came more of a taunt than anything before he began, "It's simple, sora. Kairi's helping us as we try to regain our hearts. PErhaps last time a few of our fold were not serious in the endeavor to become who we once were... but now we're all on the same page. We want nothing more than to restore things to the way they were. Yes, we're still seeking Kingdom Hearts but... we're also looking for other ways... " A small frown, "The only reason... we're even trying to restore Kingdom Hearts now is because several of our members seem to be effected by it's loss... As it is... Saix nearly perished because his very... life... depends on the moon's power..."

<AriannaTheKeybearer>She nodded, looking down at the ground. "What he said...... I'm helping them with their goal." she said with a regretable tone.

<DemZexMarly22>Sora didn't look like any of the assassin's speech reached him at all. He didn't know what to say back to ether Kairi or the all too familiar Nobody. He was a bit angry that he couldn't remember who the pink haired man was, he was sure he had seen him before. "Kairi..." he cut himself off, there was nothing really to say. It was her life she was putting into danger, at least that's what he told himself. He turned to the nobody, "Sure, I'll believe it when I see it...." he snapped back, he hoped it was true. he felt so connected to the Organization due to Roxas and killing them had been hard on him, especially with a few of Roxas's 'feelings' finding there way into his thoughts as he took each of them down.


<themightyalexa>A soft sigh, "Well whether you help or not is none of my concern. It was Kairi's choice to help. Neither of you are required to... But just remember this much: One man does not represent all thirteen. Just because Xemnas and the first six made mistakes.... causing this mess.... does not mean that the rest of us helped in that." With that he set the cup down into the sink before leaving the kitchen. This world was draining him even worse than the poison that his system was fighting off.

<AriannaTheKeybearer>She looked at Sora, looking at him. "Sora.... This doesn't mean I'm joining their side, it means that I saw things in a different way than I saw before. Everyone here.... They are nice when you get to know them, Marluxia was one of the first for me to open up to...." she said, sad that he had to find out this way.

<DemZexMarly22>Sora was stunned, he felt betrayed. "How could you...I mean..." he couldn't get a whole sentence out of his mouth. He just looked at Kairi with wide sad blue eyes, they said more than words ever could. He sighed and leaned against the table, averting making eye contact with Kairi. he could say anything to her right now, if he did he may hurt their relationship even more, it couldn't take that big of a blow. If it was a bridge then it was hanging from one small rope, the only thing holding it up from the eternal abyss.

<AriannaTheKeybearer>Him just saying nothing made her feel even worse, she had wish she had kept it a secret. She closed her eyes, tears falling down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry....." she said between her sobs, falling to her knees, burying her face into her hands.

<AriannaTheKeybearer>She looked up at him, tears flooding her cheeks, her cheeks red. She got up, and walked past Sora. "I hope we are still friends Sora..... If it comes to it, it will be my turn to protect you...." she said and she walked away, walking to her room and plopping on the bed, burying her face in her pillow.

<DemZexMarly22>Sora said nothing, just stared at her as she walked away. Seconds after he slamed his fist down on the counter and let his head fall to it and began to cry. Why hadn't he said something, anything? He felt like such a jerk. If Kairi wanted to do this why was he ridiculing her for it? It wasn't like him. His heart felt like it had ripped in half.

<AriannaTheKeybearer>Kairi looked up at the drawings she posted on the wall, many of them of her and Sora, she felt horrible and felt like now she had completely ruined it for the both of them. She wasn't able to bring it to herself to talk to him again, and she wanted the pain to stop, so she walked to a supply closet, rummaging through it and finding a sharp knife, looking at the reflection of herself in it, seeing Sora. More tears bubbled over.

<DemZexMarly22>Sora continued to mope and cry on the counter. He felt horrible, but what could he do? He had already made a fine mess out of everything. he went over to the sink and dunked his face into the water. It was cold* He yanked his face out of the ice cold water, red from crying. He looked into the refelction of the water. All he saw was a very sad boy who looked very very lost. He put his hand into the water causing the refection to go away, just after he though he had saw Kairi's refection. He whipped around and much to his dismay, no one was there. he sighed and looked up at the bland ceiling, he really could have used a hug.

<AriannaTheKeybearer>She gripped the knife tighter in her hand, tears flooding down her face. She gritted her teeth, closing her eyes tightly, and with a quick strolk, she slashed her left wrist. She screamed loudly, doubling over in pain as the blood gushed out, not showing any signs of slowing, sobbing even harder from the pain, dropping the blood covered knife. She felt completely hopeless.


<DemZexMarly22>Sora just stared at the ceiling, counting weird patterns he had discovered. He knew he had to talk to her, he knew it. Seemingly random, he jumped up out of the chair and ran franiticly around the large castle calling out for Kairi. "Kairi!?" he would yell over and over, Dusks watching hm runs though the endless hallways. They just stared, it was weird to them.

<AriannaTheKeybearer>Kairi heard Sora calling for her, but couldn't find the strength to call for him back, the pain was tremendous. She gritted her teeth tighter, laying on the ground as the blood gushed from her wrist. Roxas..... I know your Sora's nobody, we have talked before.... If you can somehow tell him where I am, please..... Please do, I don't have the strength to myself....

[Kairi]

If you can somehow tell him where I am, please..... Please do, I don't have the strength to myself....

<DemZexMarly22>Sora held his head. What was happening. He felt weird, he began to blank out, but in a way he felt more conscious than he had before. His body almost moved himself towards a room, he felt powerless. He felt no fear, he felt no pain. He felt nothing. His hand slowly reached for the doorknob, moving almost on it's own due to the light-headedness of Sora. The door was locked. "Kai...ri..." he managed to whisper before collapsing to the floor, the world swallowed by a black shadow.

<AriannaTheKeybearer>Kairi felt darkness in Sora's body, meaning Roxas was able to take control. She struggled to stand as she covered her wrist, the blood seeping through her fingers. She walked slowly where she felt the darkness, blood and tears dropping to the floor, leaving a trail. If someone were to follow it back, it would have led to the bloody knife she left behind.

[Kairi]

<DemZexMarly22>Sora had blanked out completely, yet for some reason he stood up. He looked fine, all but his face. He looked emotionless. He summoned his keyblade and unlocked the door, seeing Kairi standing there, blood dripping from her slender arm. "Sora wouldn't like that..." he whispered.

[Kairi]

<AriannaTheKeybearer>DemZexMarly22: Kairi was keeled over the garbage basket in her room, vomiting her guts out from the pain. Tears and drops of blood dropped to the ground, as she sobbed and hiccupped from the tearing pain of the cut, the oxygen itself was tearing pain at it. She looked up as the door opened, seeing Sora, not knowing her plead for help was answered. "S-Sora?"

<DemZexMarly22>AriannaTheKeybearer: Sora just stared at her. Something was weird with him. "He doesn't like to see you bleed." he whispered softly to her. His eyes seemed dull, almost like he was walking in his sleep.

<AriannaTheKeybearer>DemZexMarly22: Her eyes widened, she was confused he was talking in the third person, but then realized, and walked over, blood still dripping from her arm. "R...Roxas?" she asked, before she fell over onto her knees, her sight blurring around the edges of her eyes.

<DemZexMarly22>AriannaTheKeybearer: He just smiled a bit when she had said 'Roxas'. "Take it easy..." he muttered, putting his arms around her in case she were to fall to the hard cold ground. It felt weird to him to be hugging her like this, he wasn't Sora, well not exactly. It had been so long since he had been Roxas and not just a part of something. It felt good.

<AriannaTheKeybearer>DemZexMarly22: She looked up at him, as she wiped the tears from her eyes, her cheeks still stained, the blood still wasn't slowing, and she was coming close to losing a lethal amount of it. Tears once again poured from her face. "If.... If this is the end for me.... Roxas, tell Sora I'm...." she choked up. "I'm sorry...."


<DemZexMarly22>AriannaTheKeybearer: Roxas gave a funny smile. "You're not going to die...not yet." he murmered as he lifted her up. Where was a good place to bring her anyways? He took her out of the room and began to wander with her in his arms. It had been so long since he had been in the castle. "Hello?" he called, a bit stronger sounding than what he had said earlier. Sora was fallng into a deep sleep now, making Roxas the dominate conscious for now.

<AriannaTheKeybearer>DemZexMarly22: She held onto him, closing her eyes, the pain, for once, fading slightly. She didn't know if this was because she was dying, or because she was in Sora.... Roxas' arms, and it made her feel better. She still didn't know if Sora would forgive her for siding with the Org, after all, the dark side of is heart was IN the org, so, could there be a possibility?


<DemZexMarly22>AriannaTheKeybearer: Roxas continued his trek though the castle. He had no idea what he could do to help Kairi. He could feel Sora's worry, sometimes he was glad he was a nobody, he hated how worry felt. He walked into Vexen's laboratory and layed Kairi down on one of the many lab tables. The lab was creepy to put it lightly. Piles of sciency books were stacked around and viles and tubes full of glowing chemicals were neatly organized on shelves. 'Sora' Began to rummage through drawers looking for anything he could use to at least wrap up Kairi's wound till he could find some help. After rummaging though EVERYTHING, not one place was left untouched, he still was empty handed. Kairi was beginning to look very sickly. He had to find help, or else Kairi wouldn't make it.

<AriannaTheKeybearer>DemZexMarly22: Kairi held onto her wrist to stop the bleeding, but it wasn't slowing it down well enough. She looked around as the room began to spin, her face turning slightly pale. She shook her head, trying to stay awake, she didn't want Sora to see her dead, above all things, she didn't want him to see her dying. The strong feeling of remorse began running through her heart, making her heart throb, and wanting forgiveness in case she wasn't gonna make it.

<DemZexMarly22>AriannaTheKeybearer: Roxas yelled in anger. He didn't like it when things seemed hopeless. Many tubes were knocked over and mixed and began to release a weird gas. It was pink and actually quite thick. It fumed around the room and Roxas coughed when he inhaled it. Maybe it was toxic? Roxas glanced to a papercut Sora had gotten earlier and watched in awe as it healed over. The gas was healing it! Roxas quickly got a rag and soaked up the mixture from the ground. He walked over to Kairi with the rag. "You trust me...right?" he asked holding the rag out so she could see it wasn't concealing something dangerous.

<AriannaTheKeybearer>DemZexMarly22: She looked over at him, and nodded weakly. She hadn't knew him for a bit, but if her nobody trusted him, she could. They were the same person in technical terms, but didn't want her mind to ponder stuff like this when she felt this weak. She held out her bloody wrist, even if it were healed, she thought, the amount of blood she lost would do a number on her for a bit.

<DemZexMarly22>AriannaTheKeybearer: 'Sora' gave a quick nod and wrapped the wet cloth around her wound. He was glad to hear that she trusted him, it was a nice feeling. Not that he would have really given her a choice whether or not he would have healed her with the magic elixir. He wouldn't let her die, not only because she was Sora's girlfriend. There were other reasons, mainly Namine. Sora was beginning to wake up now, this was nicely shown to Roxas by a large sharp pain in his head. He held it, luckily after he had wrapped the rag around Kairi's arm so it would heal. It felt like someone had shoved a spike into his head and was wiggling it around. He then began to have pain all over. Sora was waking up. Roxas hoped that the magic elixir would at least give Sora time to get Kairi to a proper doctor.

<AriannaTheKeybearer>DemZexMarly22: The elixer slowed and stopped the bleeding, healing it completely, only leaving a small scar. She looked down at it, still tired from the lack of blood, but at least it stopped bleeding. She then realized what Xemnas would do to her for littering her blood all over the hallways, her eyes widening, and getting up, pushing Sora out of the way and dashing out of the lab, falling down not far from there. "Stupid, that was stupid...." she groaned.


<DemZexMarly22>AriannaTheKeybearer: Sora had finally woke up just when Kairi got up and pushed him away. What had he done now? "er...?" he began but Kairi was long gone. He saw Kairi fall and went up to her, offering his hand for her to grab. Two things could happen, she could accept it and they would find help...or she could slap him and hurt him even more. He had no idea how they had got here, but his worry for Kairi's heath shoved the thought out of his head quickly, she needed help.

<AriannaTheKeybearer>DemZexMarly22: She looked at Sora, and smiles slightly, taking his hand, then pulling him down to the ground and kissing him, wrapping her arms around him in a warm embrace. She closed her eyes, hugging him tightly as she kissed him. She didn't know if this was because she was delusional from losing so much blood or cause she wanted forgiveness so badly.

<DemZexMarly22>AriannaTheKeybearer: Sora was surprised by this. I mean he thought that their relationship was on edge, guess it wasn't as bad as he thought. He kissed her back passionately. Although did feel a bit awkward as dusks would walk by and watch them kissing. Didn't they have anything better to do? He put his arms around her and held her tightly...what if this was goodbye?

<AriannaTheKeybearer>DemZexMarly22: She pulled away, and looked at him, tears going down her face. "Sora, I'm sorry about... All this, I was.... I was a idiot, but... You gotta understand, these people.... Nobodies, need our help, they lost many of the people they need to unlock hearts, and the more they have, the less time it will take.... They even said they would resort to other methods, so please..." she held onto his hands, hers shaking slightly.

<DemZexMarly22>AriannaTheKeybearer: Sora didn't like the sound of 'other methods'. What would they resort to? "You're not an idiot..." he reasured her. If he hadn't been such a jerk to her none of this would have happened. "I'm the idiot." he laughed, trying to lighten the mood. "I shouldn't have been such a jerk to you. It's your life, you can do what you want with it. I just....I just wanted to make sure you were okay Kairi. Your like the most important thing in my life." he apologized. "I'm not quite sure about the Organization situation yet, I need to see Xemnas first..."

<AriannaTheKeybearer>DemZexMarly22: The fog around her heart was lifted by the words 'I just wanted to make sure you were okay.' She was confused by that, why wouldn't she be alright? These people had changed, or maybe this is how they were behind the wall of hatred. She smiles. "I love you Sora.... I'm sorry I..." she looked down at her wrist, seeing just the scar there. "I didn't know what I was thinking...."

<DemZexMarly22>AriannaTheKeybearer: He grabbed her hand and held it with both of his. "It's alright...as long as your safe." he replied. His eyes couldn't hide his joy. She had said she loved him. His hormones took a giant leap, He just smiled, trying to keep his biological urges from escaping his mind. They may scare Kairi. He hadn't felt this much passion in quite a while.
