Welcome to Gaia! ::

Naminé glanced away from Riku, averting her eyes when she saw a smile spread across his face. The girl still didn't know if she was doing the right thing by agreeing to help. Of course it would make him happy and she wanted him to be happy but she didn't know what Hikari was capable of... How much the Darkness had infected her. But it would be impossible to tell unless the Nobody spent more time with Riku's twin sister.

Naminé's eyes closed for a brief moment when Riku placed his hands on either side of her face and kissed her forehead and she opened them when he pulled away. When he told her he wanted to introduce her to Hikari, she as his girlfriend and Hikari as his sister, the petite blonde kept all the skeptical and wary emotions off of her face and she smiled at him. "Alright," she said gently.

Just when she thought that she was going to head into the house and see what was taking so long, Riku emerged at last, with Naminé in tow. As he introduced the two, Hikari nodded slightly, though it wasn't exactly her warmest of introductions. "We've met," she answered. Though she had to admit she was rather surprised that Naminé was dating Riku rather than Roxas, as what she had expected from adventures past between the Keyblade Master and the Princess. She could tell by the girl's posture that she was wary of Hikari, as it seemed that she still believed that she was still working for the Organization. Feeling her jaw throb from the sparring match earlier, she dropped her arms. She felt she needed to get right to the point with this Nobody. "I never helped Xemnas of my own free will. He kept me prisoner just as Marluxia kept you prisoner in Castle Oblivion. Whether you want to believe me or not is your choice. I've given my justifications," she said shortly. She didn't know where this attitude came from all of a sudden. Whether it was from the fact that Riku had a girlfriend or Naminé's silent message of 'I'm-going-to-watch-you' etched in her face. Either way, she didn't like it, but she knew she had to cooperate if Naminé was to agree to plant memories into their parents.

Blink pulled himself up from under the tree. "I really should see her...but well.... if she really is dead then...." blink sighed. Blink walked down the path towards the hospital. blink entered through the double doors and walked to the reception desk. "Exscuse me im looking for Kiku Kioko..." blink asked. "Your blink right?...the doctor has been expecting floor five ward 23"Okay "blink said Blink walked into an elevater and pressed the floor five button. As the elevator started to go up blink talked to himself."I really dont want to see her but.... shes my sister how can i just....forget about her....?" blink asked himself. Blink got off the elevator and tripped a bit before steadying himself on his crutches. Blink arrived and entered the ward. walking up to the doctor blink asked..."Is this where Kiku kioko is?" blink asked. "ahhhh... yes blink shes behind this curtain" the doctor said. "Okay here goes..." Blink said walking up to the curtain. Blink hesitated for a moment with his hand on the curtain. Blink opend the curtain and walked in. blink gasped.."K..k...Kiku!" blink exclaimed. "No why shes so young..." blink said to himself

Blink walked to kiku's body and hugged it."W...why...?" asked blink."Kiku why?". Blink stopped hugging the body and looked to the potted plant by the window. "May i be alone for 10 minuets?" blink asked. "Ofcourse blink" said the doctor. As the doctor left blink sat down the kissed kikus body on the head... Blink walked off. "G..goodbye Kiku" blink said looking at the floor. blink left the hospital and walked past a group of kids from school. "Ohh look its the cry baby blink!" the bully yelled. blink smirked and turned around. blinks eyes started to glow. As his eyes were glowing the earth opened slightly with ivy flinging out knoting the boys up in them. "Whos the cry baby now?!" said blink in a bad tempered voice. The town shaked and the ivy went back under the crack leaving the bullys sitting there.


"I did it again.." blink said. "I cant controle my powers"...."I..really need help" blink started to cry for his sisters passing.

Naminé glowered at Hikari as the girl spoke again in a sharp tone. "I never said you enjoyed any of it," she snapped in reply. "All I knew... all I know is that you had more freedom than any of the others; especially myself. I can't possibly know what went on. So you were used as a tool. We all were. I'm sorry for being wary but when you deal with the Darkness you can never know what may happen." The petite blonde's tone had matched Hikari's almost exactly in to how sharp it had been.

The Nobody felt a bit bad for she was sure this wasn't how Riku wanted their introductions to go. Naminé had been planning on being polite and nice but Hikari had thrown attitude at her. So Naminé threw it back. Not the best thing to do, but the blonde hadn't been able to help it. The Nobody decided it was better to leave soon before she and Hikari began to show even more attitude towards each other. But she'd hang around for a moment or so more before she'd leave.

The secluded place that Lakayna had gone to was a beach not many knew of. She used to go there a lot in the past; before she met everyone this year. Lakayna had left her school bag, shoes, and knee high white socks at the base of a tree. She stepped out into the water until it was just below her knees. A soft breeze blew by as the smell of the salty sea air made its way into the girl's nose. She inhaled deeply; many of her own memories filling her mind; memories of her own past, and of her mother. Tears welled up in the draogn girl's golden eyes as she turned them towards the sky.
"It's been so long, but the pain is still there," she mumbled to the heavens, "Even now...I still miss you."
A smile suddenly played about Lakayna's lips.
"Mom, I wish you could meet him," she said as she folded her arms behind her back, "His name is Axel. He's so handsome and kind. He's kinda arrogant sometimes, but that attitude of his isn't that bad. He makes me smile. Too bad he isn't here now. Then you really could meet him."

“And I thought the Darkness was bad…xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIt doesn’t even compare to this Hell.”

Riku groaned. This was not the way he wanted things to go. he tugged slightly on Naminé's arm. he wanted her to back off and he was going to tell hikari too was well but neither listened. Sora was at his side then and whispered over his shoulder. The silvernette would've jumped if he hadn't known the Keyblade Master. He turned to the smaller boy with crossed arms. He looked down at him before answering. "They're talking about the past. What are you doing?" Riku asked.

Naminé jumped when she heard Sora's voice, though she was unable to make out the words becuase he was whispering. However, he'd scared her because she hadn't heard him walk up. The petite blonde decided now was a good of time as any to take her leave. "If you'll excuse me then, I've got work to do." The Nobody said before turning away from the silver haired girl and to Riku and Sora.

"I'm going to get a head start on what you asked me to do," Naminé stated. Because Sora was there, she didn't want to say anything aloud that the brunette didn't know. And he didn't know about Hikari or about what Riku asked her to do. After a moment of thought, she added, "I know where they live. I saw it through Sora's memories, so don't worry." The girl was speaking the truth. She knew where Riku lived because when she had been sorting through Sora's memoires, unraveling them then chaining them together again, she saw the times Sora went over to Riku's place. She was fairly sure she knew how to get there. Also, she didn't have to meet his parents, or be face to face with them. She just had to be close enough to where she could get in their minds.

"I'll see you guys later, then." Naminé stated before turning away. The Nobody wanted to get a head start on the work she was going to do. First she'd have to take in Riku's parents memories and then she'd have to draw the majority of them out -- adding Hikari -- to help her chain them together. And then she'd use her power to simply place Hikari in every one of their memories so it would be as if she'd never left in the first place. It had taken her a few moments to unravel Sora's memories but almost a whole year to put them back together. With Riku's parents she had to add a new person to every one of their memories. It would take long but she wanted to do it as quickly as possible. If she pushed herself she figured she could do it in two weeks or so. 'Oh my... This is going to be a lot of work,' Naminé thought to herself as she surpressed a sigh and began to walk away from the group.
