This story is the sequel to my second story, 'Just One Last Time...'. One of my reviewers said that she/he didn't like i wrote Xion died. Because she already died in the game and I wrote her died in that story! TT_TT I also felt guilty when I wrote that story. And so, after hearing my aunt told my mother and I that my deceased Oldest Uncle had 'returned' as a bird and stayed around her house until he had met all my uncles and aunts before flew away. Buddha bless his soul... That's how I got the idea, I have to bring Xion back to life! I don't want Roxas to be alone too. And this will be the story that Xion will be alive again!

I'm sorry for any mistakes, especially my grammar. I hope you guys will enjoy this! Once again, this story will have no relation to any Kingdom Hearts storyline.


Just One More Time

Chapter 1: Reincarnation?

"…The rain poured down hard outside, battering the window like hammers banging on nails. Alice walked silently up to the second floor, the old staircase cracked softly under her weight, making her feeling uneasy. The candlelight from the lantern she held in her hand were bright enough for her to see the steps in front of her.

"Without any accident, Alice reached the second floor hallway. She looked around the dark and cold hallway before she turned and walked into the left corridor. Her light footsteps were muffled by the old and tattered red carpet that covered the whole hallway. The only light source was the candlelight and the dim moonlight that shone into the hallway from the broken windows and tattered blood red curtains.

""I knew it. I shouldn't accept those jerks' stupid challenge. This abandoned house is freaking me out…" Alice told to herself and stopped in front of a silver coloured door, the last door in the left hallway. The door which led to the bedroom, where sightings of a ghost girl occurred. It was said that she wore a white sundress with a thick black bow tied around her waist. Her whole skin is white and gave out a slow glow. Her hair is shoulder length and in silver colour.

"Goosebumps formed on her skin when the 'ghost girl' flashed in her mind. She shook the weird feeling away and stretched out her hand, trembling hardly. She grabbed the door knob and pushed it opened slowly. The door creaked, like a lost spirit howling in the night. Alice peeked into the room and moved her lantern into the room so she was able to see the room clearly.

"She was in the right room, the bedroom of the little girl. All she had to do now is to get a stuff doll with the girl's name sewed under its foot and show the guys as proof.

"Alice walked into the bedroom and examined. It wasn't too big and there is one single bed. The wall was painted in grey, an odd colour for a little girl at the age of 6. The small shelves and wardrobe were snow white. What was strange is that everything looked normal. The bed sheet was tidy and in good shape, unlike the tattered curtains in the hallway just now. Another strange thing was the rocking chair that was placed in front of the window, and she saw an outline of a human figure. Alice gulped and walked slowly towards it.

"She craned her head and gasped loudly, almost dropped the lantern in her hand. There, sat on the rocking chair, was the burnt body of the 6 year old girl, all black and brown. Even a few red are still on it. Alice took a few steps backward, totally scared out of her mind. In the news, a decade ago, this very house's kitchen, dining room and part of the living room was destroyed in a huge fire. A few maids were killed and so was the little girl, who was playing hide and seek with her brother and got stuck in one of the kitchen's cabinet. That's how she got burnt alive.

"Alice turned and tried to run out of the room. But what she saw next almost shock her to death. There, stood in the doorway, was the little girl. In her arms, she held a hand-made doll that looked just like Alice.

"The little girl smiled ghostly and said, "I knew you will come. Now, I'm not alone anymore. You will stay here with me, forever!"

"Alice screamed and tried to run to the window, the only exit. Suddenly, fire crept out of the lantern and slowly up onto her hand, burning her sleeve in quick speed. Alice screamed and dropped the lantern. She patted her clothes, tried to put out the fire, but in no avail. In the next few seconds, fire was all over her body, licking her every flesh. Alice gave out a last cry and dropped to the clean floor. Her eyes are wide opened and her mouth is opened in a silent scream.

"The fire continuously consumed her burnt flesh, illuminated the whole room and the wicked smile on the little girl's white, cold face…" Sora finished the story and looked up to his friends, who circled around his desk to listen to the horror story. The girls were trembling slightly and their faces showed fear. All of the boys just wore the same feature on their face, and some of them looked bored. (A.N. Not really a scary story. Sorry! I don't know how.)

"BOO!" A voice cried out behind Olette suddenly.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Olette screamed and jumped up from the desk she was sitting on. She hid behind Kairi quickly, crying in fear softly. Namine walked towards her and calmed her down.

"Hahahaha! You should have seen your face! It was priceless!" A familiar voice laughed. Olette glared over to the boy with her teary eyes and shouted, "I HATE you, Hayner!"

She left Kairi and started to chase Hayner around the classroom. Hayner just kept on laughing.

Just then, two spiky blonde haired boys walked into the classroom and saw their friends stood/sat in a circle around Sora and Olette chasing Hayner around non-stop. Roxas just blinked a few times then walked towards his group of friends, not minding Olette and Hayner, since they do that all the time.

"Hey guys," Ven greeted his fellow friends from behind Roxas.

Everyone greeted back.

"So, why are you guys sitting in a circle? What's that, Sora?" Roxas asked and pointed at the dark blue magazine in Sora's hands.

Sora looked at what Roxas was pointed at and replied, "Oh! It's the new issue of 'Midnight Scares'. I'm just reading one of the stories for them to listen to. Do you know how cool this magazine is!" Sora asked with sparkles in his eyes as he hugged the magazine close to his chest, like hugging a pile of munny.

Roxas placed his bag onto his desk before answering, "No. When did you start to like this kind of… stuff?"

"You mean ghosts and all those? After you told us you saw Xion last time. I just suddenly got interested in that subject. You really should read this magazine, Roxas. It's full of so many information! You know, you might get to know more about Xion, now that she's a ghost!" Sora exclaimed happily and literally shoved the magazine onto his face.

Roxas pushed Sora away and said, "I do want to know more about Xion but you don't have to press the whole magazine onto my face!"

Sora quickly withdrew the magazine and kept on apologized to Roxas, like a broken radio. "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, so-"

"Enough! Stop apologizing! It's annoying!" Roxas commanded and shut Sora's mouth by placing his palm over his mouth. "Mm mm. Mm." Sora muffled under his hand. Sora struggled for awhile then suddenly, he licked Roxas's palm.

Roxas's eyes snapped wide open and he quickly drew back his hand. "OMG! Sora! What in Kingdom Hearts you do that for!" He yelled and cleaned Sora's sticky saliva on his hand onto his pants.

Sora looked innocently at Roxas and said, "Then how should I make you remove your hand? And what did you ate for breakfast? Butter?" Sora licked his lips.

"I don't know. Maybe… Stay quiet and stop moving around! And yes! My breakfast is toast with butter!" Roxas groaned when he saw the dark stain on his pants. Gross…

Roxas turned his head and glared at Sora, giving him the 'you-are-so-gonna-pay-for-what-you-have-done' look. Sora pouted like a little doggy with puppy eyes and gave him a 'please-forgive-me-it-won't-happen-again' look."

Roxas signed. He is using that technic again. 'Darn you, puppy eyes!'

"Stop using that move, Sora. I'm not falling for it ever again," Roxas said and sat down in his place, which is beside the window and next to Sora's sitting place. Roxas ignored Sora's famous 'continuous apologize' and scanned around his classroom. Hayner, Olette and Pence are nowhere in sight, maybe in the sick bay, again. Ven is chatting with Riku and the silverette's secret crush, Namine at his seat, two rows in front of his (His seat is at the fourth row) and three seats to the right.

'I wonder what is Axel doing in his class right now…' (Axel, Larxene and Demyx are in higher level.)

"Hey, Roxas. Do you think that Xion already reincarnated?"

Roxas turned his head to the voice when the name 'Xion' caught both his ears and attention. "Reincarnated?"

Sora nodded his head and flipped open the magazine while saying, "It has been almost 6 months after Xion di- left. You told us that she disappeared into tiny crystals last time you met her. Don't you think that she reincarnated after that?" Sora's hand came to a stop.

"No, I don't. I know she's still here nearby," Roxas said.

"How do you know?" Kairi asked him.

Roxas looked out of the window and said, "I… I just have a feeling that she's around."

Kairi's eyes softened and she kept quiet after that. Sora held up the magazine and instructed, "Roxas, read this page please."

Roxas hesitated for awhile then took the book and read the heading. "Hell, Earth or Heaven." What kind of heading is this? Roxas scanned the page and read the information below the subheading, 'Reincarnation'.

"Ghost stayed in the mortal world can be any reasons. They can be worried about their family members, didn't want to leave their beloved one or there are some businesses that they haven't done or fulfilled. Most of them will be reincarnated after they had done what they haven't accomplished. However, what will they become in their next life are depend on what they had done, said, and behaved in their past life. If he or she is a great person, they are more likely to born as humans again. As for those who aren't so prefect or just average, they might become an animal or plant in their next life. It was once said that people who got killed are most likely to turn into humans or animals that are belong to the higher level and will have a good life. Those who took people's life are more likely to either go to hell or turned into animals in the lower level and got killed for food or their body parts." (A.N. I wrote this myself. Don't 100% believe it! Believe those in Wikipedia or other sites. Not this!)

Roxas stopped, didn't want to continue and shook his head. "You want me to believe such… nonsense!" He shouted to Sora, who flinched at his anger.

"I won't believe Xion will be reincarnated and become some animal! I know she's here with us!"

"Roxas! Do you want Xion to be a wandering spirit forever? You're so selfish!" Namine snapped out of nowhere. When did she listen to their conversation?

Roxas winced. "Yes, maybe I am selfish! All I ever wanted is Xion to be with me. I'll never let her go! I don't want to lose her again! I had lost her twice and I don't want it to happen again!"

Riku strolled up to them and told Roxas, "Xion is a very nice girl and I'm sure she will reincarnate to human again. Roxas, she deserves to live as a living thing again. Not a ghost."

"Why do you care!" Roxas snapped at the silverette. (A.N. Do I spell correctly?)

Riku went furious. "I treated her as my sister! That's why I care! Roxas, not only you who are sad about Xion's departure. We're all sad too."

Roxas stayed silence. Riku sighed and let his anger chilled down. He ran his fingers through his silky long silver hair and said, "Think about it, Roxas. Where does she belong to? The spirit world, or in the real world…"

Riku turned and walked back to his seat, just when their first subject teacher entered the class. Roxas pulled out his thick mathematics textbook and notebook from his bag and started to take down some simple notes on it. Slowly, Roxas found himself staring into the air, head above the clouds. He rested his hand on his cheek and started to doodle on his book. First, a round face. Then, the hair, eyes, nose, and mouth. He blinked and stared at the doodle. "Xion…" he whispered and touched Xion's cheek. How he missed to touch her real skin, so smooth and beautiful.

He turned his head and looked out of the window. Since it was the first building, he was able to see the parking place, the front big gate and the open ground and a few trees that are in front of the school's main door.

'Xion, are you reincarnated? Like Sora said?' Roxas turned his head back to the teacher when he heard his name been called. Mrs. Fair appointed him to go to the front and solve an algebra equation on the board for everyone to see. He walked to the front and quickly solved the easy question before heading back to his seat and daydreaming again.

Unaware by him, a pair of blue eyes was looking at him from the tree before disappeared.
