Up, Up, and Away

[Reno]

Sora gave a low groan, slowly becoming hard again, his eyelids fluttered. "Ah... Riku..." He cried out suddenly when Riku leaned over him, going deeper and brushing his prostate. He gasped loudly, their lips locking seconds later and Sora kissed back for all he was worth.

His hands came up, tangling in Riku's hair, kissing him desperaely. The moon flittered in, shinging light on the two lovers delicately. There was no one around to hear them, all alone on this island all their own. Which was good because Sora soemtimes tended to be very loud. and so could riku - but the silver-haired man didn;t believe it.

Sora was beginning to moan more consistently into Riku's mouth, his hips catching onto the other;s rythm and moving with him, complimenting him perfectly with reflexs born from experience. He knew just how to move to bring him and riku the best pleasure in both the bottom and top positions. Guess thats what happens when you've been having sex for three years.


Terra looked up at him, smirking. "Oh, now your asking for it?" He rasied himself onto his knees, lettign go of Ven;s hands. He had a feeling it be safer now too since Ven had basically 'begged' him in his own way.

His brought his fingers to his lips, sucking on them, still stroking the other slowly, eough to give him pleasure. He was just trying to make sure the other was so voercome he didn;t decide to kill him. Ven was fierce to. He;d broken his arm once with that fucking keyblade of his - grnated they called na accident later but Ven had just been angry.

He slipped his salivia coated fingers from his slips, rubbing the other's enterance, slipping one in slowly.

[Rikugurl]

He knew he was loud, he just didn't want to admit it. Besides... Sora yelled one morning that the birds on top of their house flew away. He was never able to do that... so Sora still had the biggest mouth. Maybe Donald and Goofy stretched it out too much or something.

He smiled into the kiss, taking in Sora's moans and replying to them with his own. His hair shimmered in the moonlight as Sora ran his fingers through it. The ring on one of Sora's hand blended in perfect in Riku's hair, it too glowing.

He moaned louder as his member started to react more. It had been hard for awhile now and needed to be released soon. He started to move even more, trying to make their rhythm uneven so it would make exquisite friction. It worked pretty well. Each thrust in became harder, and Riku pushed away, panting heavy as he continued working into Sora.

"Ah...yes..." His eyes closed as he thrust harder into his lover as Sora moved the exact opposite. He groaned, his shoulder blades piercing through his hair.


It might of been safer for now. Even Ven didn't know if or when he would randomly explode into rage and slug the other again. He was like a ticking time bomb and Terra knew it. He swallowed as he was finally somewhat free, leaning up on his elbows.

He was uncomfortable being naked in front of the other... he was sure it wasn't something that Terra never saw before... but... damn. He was also embarrassed about the other stroking him.

He watched Terra suck on his owns figures, his mouth parting a bit. He studied it as if it was some... amazing, inspirational film or something. Like they hit the jack pot of finding keyblades. His eyes soften and turned back to the normal bright blue as he continued to watch. Terra was really... quite a handsome looking man. Ven hadn't noticed really until now.

His eyes lowered, looking over the other's bare chest. He blinked softly, looking at all the battle scars that he had already seen before when they were trying to show who had the biggest one. Aqua would always roll her eyes as the two males looked over their bodies to try and outdo the other.

His eyebrows lowered, feeling his cheeks starting to flush. He shivered as his leg shifted as Terra push his hand below. It was cold... and...
FUCKING UNCOMFORTABLE!
He clenched his teeth and shut an eye at the uncomfortable feeling.

[Reno]

Sora continued, tossing his head, pushing his hips back for all he was worth. his moans turned into keening cries as riku thrust into him harder. "Riku!" He yelled, hiped arching slightly from the bed. He was getting closer. Each time The other thrust his muscles would spasm and hold on, making the pleasure mount.

"ah, ah!" He leaned his head back, neck esposed, drool running from the corner of his mouth and getting lost in his hair. "Riiiku..." he gasped. "Please..." He didn;t know what he was begging for exactly but it was the only other word that was coming to mind. He was getting so close...


Terra meanwhile, was watching Ven;s face. He didn;t look too happy. He knew spit was not going to work. It would hurt a lot. He leaned over, getting him a soft kiss on the lips, whispering a promise of "It'll get better."

His eyes began tos earch around the room, looking for what he knew would be there. Aqua... might of been a tough little fuucker but she was still a goddamned girl.

And she didn;t dissapoint. Lotion - mango flavored. He let go of the other slowly, reaching out for soemthing on a nearby shelf glad that Aqua liked pulling her bed closer to the wall. Ven would be happy if he had to get up.

He popped the top, taking out his finger, coating his first two in the silkly liquid. The minute his clean hand was free he resumed stroking the other, and then stuck his finger back into the other, sliding in much easier this time.

[Rikugurl]

Riku glanced at the other as he arched back. What was with him tonight? All these poses... needed. a. camera. His chest heaved as he watched the other, a thrill running down his spine. What a beautiful display... he could of gotten lost in it.... but his hips were busy with something else.

He licked his lips again as he leaned closer, his panting against the other's. He thrust in deeper and harder, the necklace jingling now at Sora's chin. When Sora clamped down on him, his member couldn't take it anymore. He could feel it throb and knew that the next would be his last.

His fingers curled onto the pillow next to Sora's head, his panting getting heavier. "Ah...ha...." He suddenly pushed in hard, his member pushing against the tight walls. It was snugged perfectly, like him in his leather pants. His eyes shot opened as he suddenly moaned loudly. His hips started to move quickly but hardly went anywhere as he spilled inside his lover.

His neck arched as a smile ran over his face. "SORAAAAAAA!!" His hips pumped until the sensation of the spill was gone and slowly came to a stop. His head fell sluggishly, the silver hair falling over into Sora's face.


Teeth continued to clench until he got a soft kiss on his lips. His eye twitched, looking at the other. Yea, Terra had bipolar... no question about that. Some blood trickled down his collar bone as he watched the other look around. What the hell was he doing?

He watched the other reach for the lotion. Lotion? What the hell was he going to do with that? His now dry, now soft blonde hair fell over his eyes as he watched the other put the lotion on only two fingers. With how rough Terra's fingers where, he should put it one more that just two fingers.

His body flinched as he continued getting stroked, more beads pouring down. He got the finger again. It went in much smoother... but it was still... very noticeable. "Ahn...." Ven looked down, his blonde hair shifting. Things started to add up... and add up quickly. He could feel an odd sensation coming over him, the stroking making his member twitch and started to throb.

Something was coming up. He snapped his head up and looked at Terra with wide eyes. "I...I-I'm gonna...!!"

[Reno]

Sora felt the necklace hitting his chin, the cool metal a wonderful contrast to his heated and sweaty skin. His eyes looked up into riku's both of their eyes hazy and glistened with lust.

The last hard thrust did it, sending Sora spiraling over the edge. His back arched again and he screamed in pleasure. "RIKU!" His hips jerked with Riku's, feeling warmth spalttering inside him as well, gratefully receieveing it.

He gasped a bit, shutting his eyes, feeling Riku's head fall next to his. He blew at the silver hair, reaching his shaking arms around the other, bringing him down completely against his body, cradling him lovingly. He buried his head into Riku's shoulder, trying to catch his breath and smiling as the afterglow swept over them. "Love you." He whispered exhuastedly.


"I-I'm gonna...!"

Terra laughed watching the other. Already? Well damn Ven needed more stamina. That was okay, he didn't mind. He stuck in the second finger carefully stretching them slightly, the slight pain balancing out the pleasure but only momentarily, then he did something totally ruthless. He hooked his fingers, catching Ven;s prostrate head on. That should do it.

[Rikugurl]

Riku smiled as he was pulled down onto the other's body. He too was exhausted but moved his head a bit to kiss Sora's ear lovingly. "Love you too..." He whispered.

They laid there for a few minutes, cooling down and such before Riku slowly pushed himself up again. He leaned back, slowly pulling out of the other. Slowly he laid back down next to Sora and brought him into his arms welcomely.
"Happy Anniversary Sora..."


There was that goddamn laughing again. He would of frowned and yelled if he wasn't almost over the top. He didn't need more stamina, this was his first time doing ANYTHING like this... he didn't know how to control anything and never felt such things before.

His butt became even more uncomfortable, him realizing why a few seconds later. He shivered and clenched his teeth together, bearing it for now.

But suddenly something hit... something, making a horrible shiver run up his spine. He gasped as the sensation was so strong that he couldn't hold back any longer. He shut his eyes tightly and grabbed a hold of the sheets. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
He lost it, feeling himself explode.

..........
He leaned over himself, his body shuddering from the aftermath. His eyes opened slowly, seeing some whitish liquid around the area. He slowly looked up, his cheeks the color of a tomato. He blinked, suddenly seeing something horrible. Terra had the liquid of his face.
"TERRA! I'm so sorry!" He quickly reached out and started to clean the other's face.

[Reno]

Sora smiled cotently as they rested their, just staying in a comfortable silence as they rested. eventually he felt Riku pull away, shuddering faintly as the other pulled out.

He was soon cuddled up in the other's arms, smiling brightly. "Happy anniversary Riku." He whispered, curling into him, his tired eyes finally falling shut. It felt like it was time for bed. But there was still something on his mind. "where are we gonna get married?" He murmured.

He couldn't help but think of Donald and Daisy and their wedding. That had been... fun. He had teased the duck the whole time about how he had 'quacked' the 'I do' so unintelligably he had to be asked to repeat it.

Goofy was the best man of that of course - but Sora hadn;t been jealous. He'd had just been happy. And had eatten like three pieces of cake so he was on a sugar high that Riku couldn't calm him down from. The dancing part had been fun too - even if Riku refused to leave the table, Sora had swept across the floor, dancing with anyone who asked. it had made his lvoer slightly jealous - but each time he offered Riku refused saying he was terrible.

The funny thing was Mickey had agreed with the notion.

Sometimes he wodnered how Riku would react if he told him he had danced with Ariel in the sea - where in all respects he had been NAKED. Oh, that would go over well.


Terra watched Ven intently, wanting to see his face as he came. He was so preoccupied he had relalized he was in aiming range until the warm cum was splattered across his face. he blinked blankly too shocked to react at first.

Ven was the one to, leaning over to wipe at it. He smirked, chuckled. "It;s alright." he murmured - but he didn;t exactly have a clean hand to spare, so he let Ven continue on. He licked his lips, tasting some of the salty mixture. He was feeling strangely like a shower at this point.

[Rikugurl]

Riku closed his eyes and nuzzled into the brown hair. A happy smile was stuck on his face. He already knew he and Sora would be together forever, even when he was little. Even if he was a prick... and maybe still one, he always had a soft spot for his best friend. He always acted stronger and more cool that he probably was... trying to make Sora look up to him more... but as he grew, he realized he didn't need to do all that.

Sora was his and vice versa.

They had shared the legendary Paopu fruit, an engagement already to the people of Destiny. Sora had lost his soul and Riku split half of his to share. He shared his home with Sora, having built most of it himself.
And now they were engaged, the last step of becoming one. No one was going to split them a part... and they were fools if they tried.

Those two years apart from Sora deepened his heart in hurt. He had lost Sora behind the doors of Kingdom Hearts, his mind only thinking of Kairi's safety... but as he traveled with the King, he learned that it wasn't Kairi that his heart ached for. He'd never see Sora again... and his heart fell back into Darkness.
That was when he met Diz and learned that Roxas was in fact Sora... or at least a part of him.
Meeting Roxas in the fight was painful... but it gave him hope. He could fell Sora in the blonde.

His train of thought was interrupted as Sora suddenly spoke. His eyes opened slightly looking at the other. "Disney Castle." He said softly. "I already talked to Mickey about it... and he said he'd be more than happy to wed us and since he's the King of the Worlds... no one really has the right to go against his word. He said he'd wed us... as long as you agreed."

He smiled, poking the other's nose. "You never did give me an answer Sora..."


The blue blanket that Aqua once called hers was cleaning up Terra's face. Ven was so embarrassed... he hadn't been this embarrassed for years! He bit his lip as he made sure everything was clean before he pulled away.

He could tell that Terra had watched him... and there was an odd saying somewhere that when you want the face of a person when they came... you could see their soul.

He looked back up at Terra then smiled faintly. He pushed in closer, clasping his hands around the other's jaw and brought him into a passionate kiss.

[Reno]

Sora blinked, then blushed at his lover's words. "well you proposed without any words i just figured i didn;t have to say it." He grinned, taking Riku's hand in both of his, the smile spreading his face. "but yes, yes i will marry you Riku." He rubbed their noses together, giggling. "And the castle sounds perfect." He always wnated to get married in a castle - ever since he was little and he used to play Knights and Damsels with Selphie and Kairi. The idea of getting married in some large, white towered beauty had stuck in his mind for years to come.

And his travels let him see many castles and palaces, many places and scenearys. Nothing sounded more perfect.


Terra blinked in complete surprise, then shut his eyes, drowning in the kiss. He was pretty sure this night was not over.

But he was still taking a damn shower by the end of it. If he could move that is.


~~~

Roxas brushed his teeth furiously, grimancing and spitting out some blood. He licked the top of his gums over one of his molars and sighed. "another trip to the dentist damn." he shuddered. Unlike Sora - who was terrified of needles, he was terrified of... teeth cleaning.

Okay not terrified but it was fucking disgusting. The floride always made him gag and want to throw up. Yet it seemed he didn;t have a choice. The tops of his gums seemed to be hurting a lot - maybe infected. God he hated his teeth. "It;s all your fault Sora" He said, glaring at the mirror as if he and his other were talking. Sora didn't know he had the habit as well. "Stupid idiot shouldn;t of aten so much candy as a kid!"

He sighed, walking from the room, seeing Axel already fast asleep in bed, Xio curled at the foot of it. He smiled fondly at both of them. There vacation was coming to an end - and they never really left again. Axel's sickness had stayed with him for quite awhile even after the fever had broken - a small infection had built in his lungs from the salt water that had coated it. they had to put him on antibotics.

He was still getting over it but for the most part Axel was his hyper pyro-like self, laughing like a maniac and teasing Roxas about his 'cute ltitle ass' and so on and so forth. He was still sleeping more then usual but... All the other sy,ptoms were gone. they even had a nice day out planned together.

He crawled into bed, curling up against the other. He shut his eyes,. falling into slumber.


Sora winced a bit, twirling the earring in his ear experimentally. He hadnlt cried - but damn had he been close to it when they had it pierced. the skin was still tender even though it'd been a few weeks. He dabbed on the antiseptic routinely, hearing Riku in the other room snoring softly. He chuckled. They had already worn each other out for the day. They just needed some sleep. But his ear had been bothering him. He wondered it it was the beginning of infection. He hoped not - he and Riku had made sure to clean it regularly!

He looked at the half-paupo glimmering back at him and smiled affectionately. Roxas and Axel had been shocked but happy when they had gotten 'space mail' telling them of his and Riku's engagement. Roxas demanded all the details and wanted to help with invitation, Axel demanded to help decorate - writing soemthing about bonfires and red roses. It filled his heart with glee hearing the two being so happy for them.

What had surprised him more was that his mother had burst into tears saying soemthing about 'her baby all growing up' and then had hugged both him and Riku, asking about the date and stuff. His father... well... he didn;t explode that was the good thing.
Riku mother had lvoed it - demanding that she get to make the cake. Sora was good with that. Riku's mom made the best sweets!

He smiled at his reflection. "I feel... lucky." He grinned before walking from the room, curling up with his weary lover, falling into dreamland with him shortly.


The somebody and the other weren't aware of it, but they dreamt the same dream that night.


"Hey... So-" Two boys rushing past a field, laughing. But something was behind the happy sun, eclipsing it like night.
"Help! -ran!"
Roxas/Sora turned around, confused.
"Ve--tus...."
Slipping away, darkness taking the other boy's form.
Family held him back but he screamed and screamed.
"Come back!"
"Ve---"

Sora twisted in bed, away from Riku, whispering a boy's name from between his lips, his whole body covered in a sheen of sweat. his eyes fluttered open but then they shut again, falling back into the abyss of sleep.


Roxas' whole form jerked and he sat up, gasping deeply. His eyes were wide with fright, his pale hands shaking with fear that he couldn't name. He breathed uneasily, staring down at Axel who was drooling all over his pillow, hugging it. when had he moved away?

He looked away, undecided between waking the other or just going to take a walk. He decided for the latter - Axel needed his sleep.

He schuffled from the bed, tirring it only slightly - possibly awakening Xio but not too concerned. The cat would roll back over and fall asleep. He tugged on a light shirt to go over his sleep pants before vacating the room.

He walked down the streets of Delshad, the chilly air calming to his nerves. He breathed, looking towards the moon smiling. He couldn;t even really recall the dream. It... It had an air around it - a feeling like it was not his memory. It was probably Sora's. It wouldn;t be the first time that he;d dreamt something of his other's and vice versa. They recognized it for what it was though. something that belong to them.

This one troubled him a bit though. It was all darkness and shadow figures. Something from when Sora was very young...

He frowned, falling deep into thought as he walked into the gardens that acted as the junction between Delshad and Raidant. It was the 'town limit' so to speak. A beautiful place for lovers to come. He and Axel had traveled here time and time again. But now it was quiet, no moonlit lovers were out - everyone snug in bed but himself-

His fingers tingled, the keyblades screeching giving him only a slight warning, one that was two slow because the evil that was upon him was one not fastly recognized as 'evil'. It was too late. The spearhead was buried deep into his abdomen before he could even call on them. His eyes went wide, pain not yet registering to him. "You..." The spear was yanked out and he collasped.


Sora shot up in bed, screaming over a pain that was not his own and with a fear that he was not oriented with. His heart thumped madly, curling his fists into his hair violently, willing the pain to subside. Something was desperately wrong. His very soul could feel it.


Terra laughed, stepping back into their haven world, a keyblade triumphantly in his grasp. "that was easy!" he crowed to Ven. The blade shimmered and then was gone - locked into their vault. "you shoulda seen his face it-"

But soemthing caught his eye, cutting him short. Something in the shadows. there was a figure deep in the corner of the room, his mirth falling short. Until a spear with a blue ribbon tied to it was thrown down before his feet, covered in blood.

"Roxas has been taken down." Aqua announced, her eyes a bright, unnatural yellow. "Ven you can go and unbound his keyblades from his heart now."

[Rikugurl]

Riku grew a dopey smile as he his hands came together with Sora's and heard what the other said. He smiled happily and nuzzled him back.

They had slept well for the rest of the night, neither moving all too much. They stayed in reach, keeping each other warm.
In the morning, Riku got up early and took a cold shower. He pulled on some clean boxers and some pajama pants. He didn't know what time it was... seeing that he hadn't set up the second clock yet.

He walked out of the bedroom quietly and through the house, opening the door and stepped outside. He looked out over the ocean. It was calm and the tide was low. The gulls were still asleep and the air blew through his hair softly.
His bare feet moved down the stairs that he had built, down to the dirt and sand. He started walking down towards the beach and looked out at the water, just listening and enjoying the air.

He slowly started walking down the beach in the twilight. The necklace that Sora had given him shown brightly, even if there was no sun nor a moon. As he walked, he didn't notice an odd light around him. It was warm and majickal looking if one saw... a faded light aura. It twisted and spiraled away from his body as he walked over the sand softly.

It was his Twilight mixing with the twilight of Destiny.

After awhile, Riku went back inside and cleaned his feet before returning to the bedroom. He saw Sora sleeping comfortably aand smiled. Slowly he walked over and got into bed, bringing his lover close... as if he never left at all.


In the morning at the base, a blonde laid mangled in the blue bed. His body was glazed with sweat and his body twitched. Even his he looked uncomfortable, he nuzzled up to a man who seemed perfectly fine and well cleaned. The blanket that covered them was bloody but nothing compared to the amount of blood that stained the steel floor.

When the blonde awoke, he realized that he couldn't walk because his body was in so much pain. He was bed ridden all day. So much for Wonderland.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Axel actually got over the fever pretty quickly thanks to all the love and care from Roxas. It was his lungs that were damaged. The doctor was a bit worried that it was irreversible... but he put him on antibiotics to see what it would do. Axel would get coughing fits that would leave him dangerously low on air and had to sit down for a good 30 minutes to catch his breath. He also slept more often too which put a damper on his happy-go-lucky ways.

He was still happy and continued life like he usually did. Whining to Roxas about everything and holding his captive for kissing and nipping. Xio too could tell the difference in Axel but he knew his master was trying all he could to get back to his old self.

When they got the bottle from Sora and Riku, He had Roxas open it first and almost fell over in his chair from his lover's blast of excitement and joy.

But at last, their vacation was coming to an end and they hardly got to go anywhere else thanks to his lungs.
That morning he slept soundly like usual, even harder to wake him up anymore. He knew that they had plans for today... so he wouldn't bitch so much about waking up. He didn't notice when Roxas snuggled him... or left his side... or gasped from the nightmare. He was out cold.


Having Sora's ears done was quite the experience. Riku had held his hand tightly but Sora was yapping so much about the engagement that he didn't even feel the needle go through. He felt it a second later though and almost started crying before Riku told him how nice it looked.

Thankfully, it was on a Sunday... so he didn't have school...so he didn't have to tell all his students about the wedding. However, after he got the piercing, he had to stop at his parent's house and tell them the news. He was shocked that Sora's mother broke down and started crying... she was a bit skeptical about their love... but Riku kept his promise to keep Sora safe and for him to go to college.
Sora's father stayed quiet with the news... not looking all to happy but... if his son was happy, than he was.

Next they went to Riku's mother. She too exploded in happiness but she said she knew it was going to happen any day now. She always had this feeling about them since they were younger. She congratulated them and started sending Sora in a dreamland of cake ideas. She wasn't the town baker for nothin!

Riku heard the wince from the bathroom and chuckled. "Stop playing with it already and get to bed!" Riku laid in bed as he yawned and snuggled up to the pillows. He smiled as Sora came in and wrapped his arms around him. Sleep came peacefully, a calendar over their head now with a big 'X' marking their spot for their wedding. Four more days.

In the morning, Riku groaned slightly, feeling the warmth of Sora far away. He yawned and turned, nuzzling Sora's back. Suddenly out of no where, Sora sat up and screamed bloody murder. Riku's eyes widened as he too jolted up and stared at his lover in fear. "Sora!?"


Snoring away, the pyro muffled into the pillow, enjoying his sleep. He suddenly felt a horrible pain that made him wake with a cry. His green, exotic eyes looked around. "Roxas!?" Roxas was in trouble. Everything in his heart said so. He quickly got up and pulled on a pair of jeans and shirt, not caring if it matched. He rushed out of the room and looked around the house, panicked. Xio followed and made sure to keep out of the pyro's way.

He looked down at the moomba, scared to learn that Roxas wasn't in the house. "Xio! Sniff out Roxas!" The moomba nodded and quickly sniffed for Roxas's scent, leading Axel out of the house.


A ripple ran through the base as a computerize portal appeared. A black haired man stepped out first onto the steel and then a shorter blonde. His lip had been cut and had a few small bruises here and there. He grinned and shook his head. "Yea yea, you fucking show of--"

Ven stopped too as he looked in the direction that Terra was looking at. Those golden eyes. Suddenly Aero Maxim (the name of his keyblade) appeared in his hand. He blinked. "Aqua...?" He frowned... they hadn't seen her in weeks... and now she returned in the darkness with golden eyes. Had she fallen...? Roxas...? Taken down...?

He frowned, stepping back a bit. "Take care of her..." He said lightly to Terra before jumping back into the portal. It brought him back to the world that he and Terra had come from but he quickly opened another one, heading for Delshed. He cut the portal open with the keyblade, letting it bring him to where he needed to go.

He appeared in a park, and slowly looked around. There was a body laying not to far away. He blinked. Had she really done this...? He moved towards the identical twin, his blue eyes reflecting the picture of him laying in his own blood. That wound was deadly.

Slowly he took his keyblade with both hands and pulled it over his head. It suddenly came down right into Roxas's chest. Dark matter started to dust off of the keyblade as he slowly turned it, unlocking the other's heart. Suddenly two pairs of keyblade stuck into the ground on either side of him. He slowly turned it back, locking his heart back up again... he didn't want Roxas to become a Heartless...

He was about to pull his keyblade out when suddenly visions started to pop into his head.

"Hey... So-" Two boys rushing past a field, laughing. But something was behind the happy sun, eclipsing it like night.
"Help! -ran!"
"Ve--tus...."
Slipping away, the darkness taking his body.
Family held the brunette back.
"Come back!"
"Sora---n"

Ven fell back, the three keyblade surrounding him.
Three keyblades... Three... different people...
"Ven... how did you get that new keyblade? Yours was smashed when you fell off the mountain."
The blonde looked at the keyblade. No... it wasn't like the one he use to have. "How the fuck would I know... I guess Oathkeeper is gone... It was pretty fucking gay looking anyway."

Oathkeeper sat next to him, on his right.

"Soran... what do you wanna be when you grow up?" A small little boy asked as he looked out at the windplane field.
A brunette looked at him and smiled. "I dunno... a teacher!"
"I wanna be a teacher too!"
"That's a promise!"
"An oath!"
"Oath?"
"It means promise too!"
"You better keep that oath!"

Oathkeeper...
It was broken... by the darkness...

"That one is Sora... He's currently a teacher at the Destiny grade school."

Ventus's eyes grew wide as the visions came into his head. He backed away from the keyblades, his eyes showing fear as his chest pounded. His voice was caught as everything started to come together. He had lost his twin brother when he fell into the darkness. A boy with brown spiky hair... and bright blue eyes.
His name... was Soran.

He quickly stood and grabbed the two keyblades that were once Roxas's. They quickly disappeared, transfered to the fault where a hundred or so more keyblade laid in protection. He took his own keyblade and sliced a portal with it. Jumping in he disappeared... but didn't return to the base...


Xio yipped as he smelt Roxas's scent through the garden. As Axel and the moomba traveled, they went through two ripples. This put Axel in alert mode, making sure that everything was still in order. Xio suddenly yipped and ran into the bushes. Axel followed his lead and shouted at what he saw.

"ROXAS!! ROXAS!!" He saw all the blood around his lover, a horrible wound in his abdomen. He fell to his knees and pulled on his lover, looking at his ghostly white color. "ROXAS!?...h-HEAL!" A green power flowed around the other. Tears poured down the tattoos, making them darker. How.. how did this happen!?

[Reno]

Roxas gasped heavily, not noticing as she left. all he could feel was pain... so much pain... Tears gathered in his eyes, trickling down his face. He could feel warmth spreading under him - his blood.

He braced his hand against the hand, lifting the other one to press against the wound, desperately trying to stem the bleeding. He puleld his knees under him, then screeched as it sent pain through him even fiercer then before. he tumbled back down, his eyes glazing over and eventually he lost conciousness.


Terra stared blankly at Aqua, numbly nodding to Ven;s orders. He wasn't sure how safe he felt alone with her though. He felt the blonde leave his side.

Aqua's eyes narrowed silently, turning her head away. Her mind was awhirl with Ven's voice. They needed to complete the mission no matter what - no matter what the cost. She had forgotten that and it had torn her psyche to pieces until the darkness drove her heart and mind insane.

They were a team, and she had forgotten that. She slumped against the walls, slipping downwards, staring at the spear silently. Axel was in a lot of pain she bet. A variable thats all Axel and Xio were - just unlucky enough to be known by the keybladers - unlucky and stupid enough to tie his heart to such darkness. He should have known the risks.

Roxas was not a good person. Riku was not. Sora was not. They had to be eliminated.

"the heart... it is an interesting thing." Xehanort said from above, making her breath catch in fear and hate. This man had killed one of her friends and now he had her and Terra at his mercy. "I hate you..."

"The keyblades will drive you all to the deepest darkness - but that power can be utlized for my gain." Xehanort whispered.

There was a reason Riku was chosen by ansem. there was a reason the dark keyblade accepted Sora's touch so readily. There was a reason Roxas joined Organization XIII. There was a reason... that her and Terra and Ven could gain the eyes of a heartless. it all was not coiencidence. The keyblades were evil.

She buried her head in her hands, tears flowing down her face and she didn;t understand why. She was not sad. she was happy. she had done her job correctly. she had taken down one of the evils. Isnt; this what they wanted? what they aimed for? To rid the world of this...

So why did she feel like she had betrayed them all?


Sora heard Riku's voice and sobbed in both relief and a new sort of torture. If Riku was okay... that meant his Nobody was not. He hardly ever felt anything from Roxas anymore - not emotions or physical wounds or mental tirades. But this... this if he could feel it, was bad. "Roxas..." He stumbled over his words, tears choking away his voice. "Roxas is hurt..." He said, feeling the pain masking over his own form. He trembled at it, realizing it was only ghostly asi it began to fade. But for another he knew it was not leaving. "Real hurt..."


Roxas' body flinched, whimpering weakly as the keyblade was plunged into him. It felt cold, it was making him so cold... or maybe that was the blood loss. The little flicks of light in himself, whtie and black respectively, were disappating - leaving him. the keyblades were leaving.

Oblivion - Riku. Oathkeeper - Kairi.

He wanted to yell and scream, wanted to demand for them back. They were his! They weren't just important to him! Come back! please!!

The lights of the keyblades shimmered and sparkled - only cried one more - before they were locked out of his heart. Forever.

Suddenly it;s like his mind was snapped away, and flashes of memory were running behind his eyes. He and Sora - that dream again. No...

It all snapped into place, so suddenly it was heart shattering.

Soran. Ventus.

"He;s my imaginary friend Riku!" Sora said, showing him the picture of the boy with blonde swirly hair.
"you don;t need an imaginary friend Sora - you have me!"

Ven?

"You know Roxas - I think I always knew you existed." Sora told him one starry night in the gardens as they sat outside to gaze upon Delsha'ds moon, their lovers not far away - able to hear every word. "When i was a kid i had an imaginary friend who looked just like you. Or at least thats how my mind pctured you."
"Really... what was his name?"
"I think I called him Ven." Sora murmured.
"Ven? what a stupid name." Roxas said cruelly.
"no... it was someone my mom knew. I just thought it was cool cause it meant something close to my name so..." Sora just shrugged. "It was like having a fake twin you know?"
"Well great, now you have a real one."
Sora grinned. "guess i do."

Sora had never known Roxas had existed. He had known Ven had existed - and then when his nobody had come to be, those hidden memories recrated Roxas in Ven's image. The twin brother Soran had forgotten he lost so long ago. Hell he didn;t even know his own true name.

Why hadn't Castle Oblivion let any of those memories free? why had Namine not detected them?

Then it was over. Roxas was falling deeper into the darkness. He was... He was dying wasn't he?

He was falling, faster and faster, things slipping away from him - his short life flashing behind his eyes. Nothing could catch him - nothing could stop it nothing...

RO....XAS

Who... was that?

ROXAS!

Who....

Roxas!?

Ax...

H-Heal!

...el?

Glassy blue eyes fluttered opening, gasping at the pain coursing through him. Tears of pain sprung to his eyes. He worked his mouth but no sound came out. The spell had stemmed some of the bleeding, but Roxas was still in danger of dying.

His heart beat furiously in his chest, unwilling to give in without a fight. Roxas' head lolled, resting against the warm chest, hearing a heart beat ring in his ears and knowing who it was instantly. "A..." He tried to say but his voice was caught with pain.

[Rikugurl]

Riku frowned as he slowly wrapped his arms around the other's waist. Roxas was hurt. He knew it had to be the Chasers. Of all the times they had to start their shit up again... it had to be four days before their wedding.
Now they would have a time schedule... there was no way he was postponing the event. If he had to get rid of all those three bastards in four days, he'll goddamn do it.

He watched Sora go through all this painful emotions all at once. They had both thought that him and Roxas were really starting to make their own lives and wouldn't feel each other's pain... but he remembered that Sora's heart always pulled at the stings of hearts of everyone he met. That and the fact that he was a keyblade wielder... he had powers that most people didn't have.
The power to unlock anything locked, no matter what it was.

"Sora... relax." He said comfortably. A supporting hand rubbed the other's back. Either they had to wish for the best that Roxas would be ok... or it was a trip on the Gummi Ship. He really wished Roxas, Axel and Xio lived closer... like on the same world! Having to go back and forth to protect one another was exhausting...

He pulled in Sora closer, remembering all the times that Sora had comforted him when he had dilemmas with facing the Darkness inside of him... when it use to be so strong... when he use to blame everything on himself. All of those things faded away a month or so after Sora moved in with him at the treehouse.

Axel was wrong when he said that the struggle of Nobodies trying to get hearts was The Keyblade War.
No.
This was The Keyblade War.
The war that Mickey had warned them about.
And like idiots... they had forgot to train for the past three years.
No matter... the keybladers were always ready.

Mickey already knew what was going on... and that was when Riku realized... that that wedding... would have to be postpone. There was no way you could win a war in four days.


Green eyes widened as the blood stopped... but Roxas's body failing was not. His heart cried out in pain, almost feeling the exact same pain as Roxas was feeling. That paopu fruit really did wonders. "Who did this to you!?" But all he got in return was an 'A'. He clenched his teeth as he pulled Roxas up, all his strength put into it.

He stumbled a bit, not being as strong as he use to thanks to the salt in his lungs. He quickly rushed off though, going to the closest hospital that he knew of. It was in Radiant Garden... but it didn't matter.

When he reached it, he could hardly breath but gasped at the nurse for attention. When she looked over, she saw the sight and quickly pressed the emergency button, summoning a team to help Roxas.
A stretcher came from down the hall and some men took Roxas away from him. His eyes watched sadly as he was wheeled down the hallway quickly, seeing an oxygen mask being pulled over the blonde's face.

There was nothing Axel could do... he felt helpless standing there, blood all over his clothes. Roxas was headed to the ER... and Axel couldn't follow along. Xio whimpered as he watched too, only looking up at Axel to see the devastated face. The moomba carefully bit into Axel's clothes and tugged him to a waiting room chair. His master needed to rest before he too fainted.

Slowly Axel walked over to the chair and sat down, his elbows on his knees as his long body leaned over itself. He started coughing from the run, almost choking. The room started to get dizzy but he shook it off. "My Roxas...." At least there was a good thing about having their hearts intertwined... he'd know if Roxas would be ok or not... even before the doctors came out to tell him. The thing that scared him though was... Roxas looked so empty.


In the room full of keyblades, there was a strong safe hold to secure them. A safe hold made of pure Light. There was no way a keyblade that was in that room could be summoned or gain new masters. Darkness triggered the power of the keyblades... and with the Light surrounding them... they couldn't go anywhere.

Loud clattering could be heard as two new keyblades joined the pile. Oblivion and Oathkeeper.
These two were not 'formed' from Sora's feelings like everyone thought. No one could 'form' a keyblade... they always existed. However... they could change masters due to events.

Soul Eater was Riku's keyblade when he was younger. Like Sora, he could change his keyblades as he found them. Oblivion, Memories Past, was one. However, when he was taken in for the final battle with Sora as Ansem's aid, he was slit by the darkness and had to obviously give up the keyblade.
Oblivion was then placed in Hallow Bastion. Sora easily found it.

Once Riku closed the door with Mickey, a new keyblade found him. The Way to Dawn. It was a strong version of Soul Eater and since Riku was a unique keyblader, he would always possess the true power of getting rid of souls... or... Nobodies. The Darkness hated the Nobodies for their will was so strong. They needed a weapon against them... and Riku was the poster child of Darkness at the time. He, also being Twilight, could manipulate the two powers of Light and Dark... but after all he went through, Riku followed the Light instead of Dark.

When Roxas was created, it took the knowledge that this was once Riku's keyblade at some point... and made it one of his own. It would balance out his other keyblade well...

As for Oathkeeper, the Amulet Of Promise... well... that is where the story was lost.
When Ventus fell into the darkness, he landed into the Awakening, just like his brother did a few years later. Instead of receiving the KingdomKey, he received a keyblade called Oathkeeper. KingdomKey was appointed to Sora for the Disney Castle was in the same connection to the world he and his parents landed on. Oathkeeper was given to Ventus for the 'oath' he made with his brother.

The keyblades liked to associate themselves with their master, making their bonds more powerful.

Ventus chose strength instead of defense and became strong for he knew he was all alone now. He grew his independence from what he chose, the keyblade not reaching out for help. Since Sora chose defence, he grew two companions later on... Goofy and Donald.

That day the battle raged between the three Chasers and Xehanort, Ven was frozen and tossed off a mountain, making the keyblade shatter along with it.
What they had learned was that keyblade could never be broken or distroyed.. only the master of the keyblade could.

Oathkeeper knew of Ventus's connection with Sora and when Roxas was created, he came from Sora's memories... the imaginary friend. His brother... they were alike but not the same... just like him and his Nobody. His heart had forgotten his brother... so he no longer existed.
The Oathkeeper was claimed as Kairi's... for she was the only other person that Sora cared about... and knew.

Now that Roxas wielded the Oathkeeper, when Ven was unfrozen, he was granted a new keyblade, Aero Maxim... or better known as the stronger version of Follow the Wind.


Soft winds blew through soft blonde hair. Crumbles of earth flew around gracefully and slow, as if it was a whale in the ocean. The center of gravity made the chunks that use to be a world hold together in floating harmony.

Scuffs and rips could be seen in the ground from the battle that took place here.

Akbar... his home world. He remembered it well. The world of Quiet Winds. The sound of the winmills could still be heard... but they no longer stood.

"I want to fight with you! We can get all the keyblades together and stop the Darkness!" The blonde yelled as his blue eyes became true.
"But don't you have a home and family to go back to?" A black hair man inquired.
There was a pause and the blonde looked down. "I lost my home... and my family a long time ago..."

~~~

"Ventus... even if you lost your family... they are still in you here." The fairy godmother pointed to Ven's heart with a smile. "If you believe that your family is still out there, your wish just might come true!"
The blonde looked down at where she had pointed... his heart. He smiled brightly, nodding. "Yea... you're right."
He looked up at the starry night and blinked, the stars reflecting in his eyes. "I know they're still out there..."
Soran... I hope you're ok... wherever you are.

~~~

In the boat, he had to remember his mission but his eyes wondered over at Sora.
Do I know you from somewhere?

~~~

"This will cloud his heart... he'll only care about that stupid little mission that won't even be close to done by the time he dies."
An injection and pushed into the blonde's arms.

~~~

Riku looked over the drawings that Namine had drawn in the White Room while Sora... or Roxas was talking to Axel in the Computer Room. He saw all the childish drawings of Goofy and Donald with Sora, Axel and Roxas and other. There was one picture that made him stop and squint at.
In the background, he could hear Goofy and Donald chatter.
In the drawing were three people in knight looking armor. His head tilted.
Who were they?

Aero Maxim was slammed into the dirt as the blonde crouched. The paopu... His heart had to be open to intertwine with Terra's... and it let so much other things in. And out... to the ones connected to him.

A ripple.
A paper fluttered across the dirt and over the messed grass. A hand reached out and grasped it, slowly turning it over. Maybe times he visited this world, finding old things that people had left behind. Old photos, diaries, toys... anything. Where had all the people of Akbar gone?

He looked down at the piece of paper. It was worn and old... but he could still make it out.
It was a picture that a obviously a little kid drew. It was of another little kid with blonde swirly hair.
Suddenly golden letters started to appear at bottom, making the blonde's eyes widened.

"You don't need an imaginary friend Sora - you have me..." He read out loud softly, reading as the words appeared.
"What was his name?....I think I called him Ven..."
Tears started to form in his eyes... That wish came true...
Soran had never forgotten him... and with his own eyes he could see that Soran was ok... and loved... and with friends.

He stared down at the drawing, falling to the ground.
"Sora... Sora is my brother..."
That missing 'n'... made him miss everything.

[Reno]

Sora shivered against the other, but when Riku told him to relax he took some deep breathes. His herat still felt deeply trouble though - and he knew nothing would be right again until he saw his brother.

He put his face in his hands, rubbing vigoriouslyat the tears that had gathered there. He looked up at Riku, his face all serious and he knew his lvoer knew what was coming next. "I need to go see if he;s..." He trailed off. saying 'all right' just sounded stupid - of COURSE he wasn't. saying 'alive' just made his heart clench further at the relization that this was very, very fatal.

This was horrible though. Who would hurt - no he knew that answer. Those damn chasers. He had hoped they would of backed off for longer and it was low and cruel that they;d go after Roxas. He had already to deal with Axel who was ailing as it was - how dare they just...

Anger and some close to akin with hate was filling his heart. He shook his head, moving out of Riku;s arms, stumbling for his closet, blindly reaching for some clothes. He needed to... needed to calm down and think. He was never a hateful person - but someone hurting one of his friends, especally a close one, made the darkness beneath his golden surface shimmer in response. The reason he had starved off the darkness better then most was becauise he was optimistic and genrally very kind. He gave people second chances and he gave them the benefit of the doubt - even felt saddened and empathtic with some of the people he fought.

'Xemnas, there's more to just a heart then just anger and hate - don;t you remember?'

'Axel... what...' Sora murmured, feeling soemthing pang in his heart. 'what were you trying to do?'

Sora tilted his head slightly sadness creeping into his face as Saix reached out for Kingdom Hearts, asking for his ehart. He looked away.

The darkness was a monster destroying everything - friend and foe alike. And anti-form... beneath the surface he could feel the heartless within himself clawing for his body - ready and willing to kill. He hated that form. He had lost himself on his travels to that form more then once, and each and every time Donald and Goofy nearly killed themseleves trying to subdue him - their friend; the monster that was trying to tear out their hearts.

Sora placed his hand over his heart uneasily, his shoulders slumping as he forced the thoughts out of his mind. He neded to see Roxas. That was what was important. He could make no assumptions about what happened until the blonde told him himself.

He felt another tug in his heart - softer and unidentifible, like a bond he had forgotten was trying to repair itself. He had no time to think about it though.

He pulled a blue shirt over his head, yanking on his black baggy pants seconds later. He stumbled over to his shoes, pulling on some socks one at a time, not caring that the seams were uncomfortable against his toes and he shoved his feet in the yellow soles.


He felt the both frail and strong arms lift him, an urgent yipping meeting his ears. He breathed uneasily, his eyes seeing nothing - his vision was becoming darker and darker. Not even the streetlamps would chase the shadows away.

He was headed towards help. His heart gave a quiver but sitll beat weakly, even as it;s owner;s eyes shut once more, body falling limp under the weight of unconciousness. Roxas would feel nothing else - not when he was given up to the professional care, not when he was rolled away, air forced into his lungs, not when he was thrown into the ER major surgery going about to reconnect the broken skin and organs that had been damaged, blood pumping into him to keep his heart going.

He did not dream. Not exactly. He knew he was in darkness - and far away, in a corner he could not reach no matter how hard he tried, there was a light. Even when he tried to crawl for it, that light stayed were it was, stuck in place.

The light pulsed regularly.

ba-dum.... ba-dum.... ba-dum...

it took a moment before he finally realized it. It was a heartbeat.

and it wasn't his.

Axel... He reached out for the light, wishing and willing for it to come to him.

[Rikugurl]

Riku nodded as Sora left his side. A small sigh. Here we go again... He stood, pulling on a pair of pants and grabbed a loose shirt. Why bother getting clean clothes if he knew they were only going to get dirty. He pulled on a pair of socks and his shoes. He pulled on the gold chain, making the moon and star flip over the shirt.

Hopefully the rest of Delshad and Radiant were ok.
He looked over at Sora getting dressed, sensing a bit of darkness in that direction. He didn't worry all too much about Sora's anti-form... Sora was Light, and there was no changing that.
When they were both dressed, Riku slowly walked out of the house and towards the beach.

The Way to Dawn appeared in his hand and he flung it up in the air, a dark stream unlike Sora's light burst out to a keyhole in the sky.
In a matter of seconds, He was on a metal floor inside the Gummi Ship along with Sora.

The computer screen came on and a chipmunk with a big red nose and doofy teeth peered at the two. "Hey Sora! Riku! What's up? Where we headed??"


Axel felt more and more cold as the minutes passes. Something wasn't right. SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT! When his lungs had settled, he shot up. Xio blinked and stood too, wondering what Axel was going to do.

The redhead in black started to move determining down the hallway. Some nurse called to him that he couldn't go down there but he didn't flinch. His green eyes narrowed, his tattoos twitching as anger ran down his face.

With both arms, he pushed the ER door open dramatically and saw yet another hallway in front of him.
"SIR! You can't go in ther---"
"Shut up!" He whipped around and looked down at the nurse. "I'm one of the leaders of Delshad, I should have the authority to come in here to make sure the second leader is ok."

The nurse blinked and flinched a bit at the man's angry voice. Axel frowned but sighed, shaking his head. "I'm sorry... is there just anyway for me to watch... to make sure he's ok... to be there when he comes out of surgery?"
The nurse swallowed and nodded, going over to a closet and taking out a lab jacket. "Here, where this and this." She also handed him a white mask for his mouth.

He pulled on the jacket quickly, noting that it was too small for his long and lean body. The face mask was pulled over his ears and he was taken to a room on the side. When he walked in, he could see Roxas on the table, tubes down his mouth and some blood on the floor.

His heart sank and his eyes watered.
"Please just keep to the side and don't interrupt." One of the doctors advised the pyro as he took a second break from Roxas.
Axel moved slowly to one of the walls, watching the doctors work on Roxas's side and calling orders to the nurses.

His heart beat fast, having a perfect view of his lover.
Roxas... I'm right here...


The paper suddenly flew out of the blonde's hand and out towards space with the wind. Ven's eyes widened as he tried to reach for it but it was gone. He blinked and looked down again, feeling the wind at his back.
For a second, he wondered how Terra was doing with Aqua...

[Reno]

Sora follwoed his lover urgently, feeling as if they weren;t moving quick enough. Urgency beat through his veins, his feet slamming on the metal of the ship. He sent his lover a grateful, yet weak smile, rushing to the pilot's seat. Two chipmunks quickly appeared on screen.

The litterler and angrier chipmunk was still fall-awake, yawning tiredly. Still sora pulled a big, fake smile over his face. "Delshad." He answered automatically, trying not to let his voice waver. He didn't want to worry the two - besides this ship ran on happy faces! "We need to hurry."

the black nosed one nodded with a yawn, jumping on some controls, setting the course almost robotically. The gummi ship whirled to life and once Riku took his seat, Sora.

His heart beat rapidly, as if every second was counting. He breathed uneasily. Axel probably knew what was going on - probably had found Roxas - but how much could the redhead help? He didn;t know how bad the other;s condition was, roxas hadn;t elaborated TOO much nd the last letter was awhile ago when Axel was still in pretty bad shape.

God this was all the poor red-head needed.


The light... was coming towards him. The blonde smiled faintly, feeling warmth ghosting over his skin. He curled up - feeling as like some animal who was close enough to feel the heat of the bonfire but to frightened to get closer to the flames. Each time the heart of the other beat, warmth spread across his fingertips.

"Hey... Axel..." Roxas whispered to the light before him, too afraid to look away from it. He felt that if he did... he'd lose everything. His fingers twitched, stretching out his hands. A sudden epiphany overcame him. "I'm dying aren;t I?"

He couldn;t die. Not like this. "So much to do..." There was still Sora's wedding! He didn;t want to miss that! Especally not the reception - he wanted to dance with Axel. "Need a gift..." He mumbled to himself, drowisness overcoming his limbs.

Who would take care of Delshad? Surely not Axel could do it all alone - that was too big a job. And who would tease Riku endlessly about his insanely girly hair? Not Sora he was too nice. And who would... would...

His hand fell, unable to be held up any longer. He turned his head skyward towards the light, letting it warm his face, basking in it's glow. "I love you..." He whispered faintly.

The light was fading away. "don;t go..." Roxas' eyelids twitched, and then they started to fall. "Ax...el..." The eyes shut.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

The room when into a panic.

"Heart rate gone! Blood pressure is dropping dramatically." The nurse barked.

"Nurse, get the defibrillator."

One of the nurses wheeled it over. The second doctor took hold, the machine whirring as he rubbed the pads together. they weren;t going to lose this one. "Clear!"


Sora felt his heart shudder, stopping for a few short seconds and he nearly fell over the controls. He felt like someone had just poured ice cold water all over him and he couldn;t speak, could barely breathe.


Terra picked up the fallen spear, leaning iot up against the wall, setting his mallet beside it, before carefully walking towards the blue-haired female. She had curled into a some-what fetal position, her breath uneasy and pained.

He slid down beside her, the scene familar to him to one that had happened many years ago behind bars and needles. "Aqua..." He rasied a hand, touching her arm.

She flinched, her head shooting up, yellow eyes fierce. He twitched in response - the look in eher eyes setting him on edge. The weren;t any danger to themseleves of course - they recognized one another even when they fell into the darkness. The experiments gave way to those relizations.

But it was still highly unnerving, especally when Aqua had those eyes. She wasn;t a very cruel person unless she was like this. Then she was just a monster damaging everything in her path.

"I killed him." she whispered. "I'm a murderer just like you and Ven."

Terra flinched at her words, feeling strange as they made his stomach clench. "We have to do... whatever it takes to get those keyblades. sometimes... killing is necessary."

"Is it?" she hissed, her voice dropping inhumanly, the whisper grating on his nerves. "Is it really? Is any of this worth it? We're tearing people's lives apart... even our own."

"It's a small price to p-"

"Don;t give me that shit!" She screeched. "they are victims too! They have lvies too! they... every live matters and-"

"Oh fuck off Aqua. Stop sounding so righteous. Your stealing Sora's bastard words now. You can not say the live of a murderer is equally as valuable as that of a common thief. Crimes are commited but some are worse then others. Some must be punished accordingly."

"But what about those that haven;t commited any crimes? the keybladers we were-"

"We will."

"How do we KNOW that!"

"Has history not proved it to you Aqua?! A keyblader is born only to fall to darkness. It will be us that will stop the madness!"

"Are we stopping it... or creating it?" Aqua whispered.

Terra looked away, not sure how to answer that. It was a paradox. As keybladers they created it and as keybladers they took it upon their shopulders to stop it.

Are they causing more harm then heal?
