Author's Note: It took me a while to get it on here but I finally have finished Chapter 2. I'm not quite sure how long it will take me to get chapter 3 started, but with so many stories to do... I hope you like it. The ending of this chapter I think sucks, but maybe you'll like it.

'Stop it. Just stop it right now Roxas.' A voice yelled in his mind.
'Sora... you're like a freaking guardian angel to me. Or my concience... jeeze. But what can you expect me to do? I am nothing like you... I can't do this I can't-' But Sora cut him off angrily.
'Shut the hell up you idiot. Everyone has their doubts Roxas, even I did. I didn't want to be the keyblade weilder but I sucked it up and did it the best I could. Yes I died trying, but I made a difference in the worlds I helped. I saved people Roxas. I didn't want to risk my life but I sucked it up and did my heroic thing.' Roxas felt himself smile and he shook his head. 'Now go do your thing Roxas.'
"You got me Sora." He chuckled and Kairi looked over at him at the mention of Sora's name.
"So you're still helping Sora," Kairi smiled lightly and looked up to the sky once more. "Come on Roxas. Let's go save her."
Roxas looked over towards her and Riku. "Of course." And he pulled out the keyblade in triumphic joy.

A dank, musty smell filled the nose of a young teenage girl. Her green eyes were filled with tears as her arms clutched her opposite wrists, and then a voice caught her attention, and she whimpered lightly.
"Make a sound, and I will not hesitate to kill you." The voice of a man yelled in her direction.
She saw the pool of light where he had opened a door, but it had soon shut, with her trapped once again inside. Pain stung her head as she reached up to touch her soft brown hair, and she felt something wet hit her fingers. Blood. The smell of it encased her nostrils and she felt herself begin to fall into another patch of darkness, and this time, she wasn't sure if she was coming out of it or not.
----
Roxas was worried. He didn't like to be worried, especially when it came to someone he hadn't seen since... well, since Sora had been brought out of his sleep so long ago. Olette was missing... and he wasn't sure if he could really find her. Of course Kairi was with him, which helped sooth his nerves... she always managed to do that to him, not matter what mood he was in before. Whenever he saw her, it was like he was a completely different person... like he was more like Sora...
"Roxas?" Her voice took him from his dream-like trance back to reality.
"Yes?" He asked, a smile crossing his lips.
"What's that smile for?" She asked, cocking her head to the side. "Please tell me you aren't imagining me naked... god, I heard that from Tidus and Wakka so much I felt like I was going to puke."
Roxas felt a growl rise in his throat, but he quickly pushed it back down. "Of course not. I'm smiling because I love you." A dirtier part of his mind sniggered lightly but he brushed it off.
"So what about this whole Olette situation guys?" Riku mumbled from ahead of them. "He has to be here in Twilight Town... there isn't any other place he could momentarily take refuge."
"He could have managed to return to where we first met him." Aqua's soft voice flowed from behind Riku's stiffening form.
"Where exactly did you meet him at?" Riku spat out, his voice had a monotone to it as he faced her sparkling blue eyes.
"A world that refugees have fled for years... a place where Sora made many friends." Terra's voice whispered from beside Aqua.
Roxas held his head for a moment trying to think. He didn't have every single memory of every place Sora had ever gone, and he wasn't so sure if he could figure out the place they were talking about now. Sora made many friends in many places, Roxas knew that for sure... but a place for refugees? How could he try to remember this place if it was somewhere he had never even seen?
'They'll keep coming after you as long as you continue to weild the Keyblade.'
'I think you must have hit him pretty hard...'
'Donald.'
'Goofy.'
'Oh, I'm Sora!'
"Traverse Town." Roxas let the words instinctively fall from his lips and Kairi smiled.
"So many memories rest in those three districts," She whispered, closing her eyes softly. "That's where I waited for Sora until he deafeated Ansem... then everything changed and I was sent back to Destiny Islands to wait for him again."
"I wish I had been there... all I have are slight memories... ones that aren't even mine to begin with." Roxas held his head and Kairi touched his arm lightly. 'Why am I getting these visions of darkness with these memories? Why can I not reach the light-'
"Roxas are you alright?" Riku nudged his arm and smiled jokingly at him.
"Yes. We should leave immediatley. Aqua, Terra, are you coming with us or are you going to travel amongst yourselves?" Roxas asked smiling at the two of them.
"Oh, you want us to come with you? Truly keyblade master?" Aqua asked looking up at him with her eyes shining.
"Miss Aqua, we must be careful. You cannot harm yourself during this misson..." Terra whispered beside her.
"I know this Terra! I need to go with him, our master commands it. We have to help him with his mission... it is our destiny." She whispered harshly.
"Your destiny perhaps." Terra mumbled, but he turned to Roxas and bowed. "We our at your service Master Hikari."
"Good. Let us leave this place and head our search off in Traverse Town."

Dark... it was all so dark. Everytime she felt her eyes open, all she could see was the darkness she was eclipsed in. The blood was still there, dripping onto the floor until she was in a puddle of it... and her stomach began to churn at the smell of it coagulating. Vomit spewed from her mouth and she barely had the energy to wipe it away...
"Death... please just kill me now." She begged, but all that returned her plea was silence.
----
'Hatred, thats all you're filled with, the hatred Sora never felt. You are a Nobody, and you feel nothing Roxas... you are nothingness, and soon you will be complete in darkness...'
Roxas awoke with sweat dripping down his brow. Everyone was asleep but he and Riku, whom was piloting the ship. He stared over at him, making sure that he hadn't seen Roxas's fear when he awoke from the dream... the dream he had been having for months now... ever since he had been brought back to Kairi...
"M-master Hikari are you awake?" Aqua's voice came from beside Kairi's unmoving form.
"Oh yes of course I am Miss Aqua." He sat up and looked over at her, and he gasped for a moment. It took him until now to realize how beautiful she was, with her dark blue hair and aqua colored eyes... it was no surprise to him why her name was Aqua now... "Is anything wrong?"
She stretched her arms over her head and yawned slightly. "Nothing of course, I just saw you awake so suddenly, that I wasn't sure whether you had a nightmare or not."
"Oh it was nothing." He rubbed his arms and looked over at his fiance's sleeping form and smiled.
"You love her, do you not? The Princess of the heart, I mean."
"Of course I do. She means the world to me... I would do anything I could to protect her. I almost lost her before, when I once more became non-existant, but I have been given another chance at life, and this one, I mean to use it the best I can. I plan to marry her." Roxas blushed.
"Of course. Aren't the two of you a little young to marry?" Aqua said narrowing her eyes.
"Young? We are almost eighteen. Wait a moment, how old are you?" Roxas asked, but then he felt stupid for asking.
"I am almost twenty-one." Aqua smiled. "Terra is twenty-six."
"A tad old to be bossed around kids aren't you?" Riku's voice suddenly said.
"You have no place to speak Riku. Are you not older than he?" Aqua asked with a slight sneer.
"I am nineteen going on twenty." Riku pushed back his silver hair and smiled at Aqua.
Aqua stared at him for a moment, and Riku felt his body freeze, and then something soft entered his mind without him allowing it. Something was reading his thoughts.
'Tell me Riku, what do you think of this? Perhaps this shall make you less cocky, '
He gasped.
'You're reading my thoughts Aqua... how are you-'
Then it hit him, when she fully raided his mind.
'Aqua's beautiful, damn, I wish I could-'
'Roxas is thinking irrationaly...'
'Those eyes are just like mine-'
"Get the hell out of my mind Aqua!" Riku screamed pushing himself back away from her.
She blushed uncontrollabley as he continued to scream at her about her mind probing...
While Roxas just continued to stare from one of them to the other.
