Ηικαŕι  She watched in silence as Naminé left to go start on working on their parents' memories. She saw Sora come up from behind Riku, so she didn't move when he suddenly came up to ask Riku what was going on, which he explained. She lightly folded her arms as she waited for the Keyblade Master's response to her brother's curt answer.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSoraxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFinally back!!! I can rest up, hang with my friends and... Sora was surprised he didn't get punched or yelled at for his smoke comment. But that was fine with him. He smirked evenly when Riku scowled at him, but then turned his attention to Namine as she spoke to Riku and the silver-haired girl. He had no idea what she was talking about, but he had a feeling that he would find out sooner or later. He watched her walk off and glanced at the other girl. Well, she didn't seem too bent on hurting the blonde or anything. It must have been a misunderstanding.
The brunette again listened to Riku. He was talking to him like he was freaking about this, even though he wasn't too overexcited about it. Curious, maybe, but not weird about it. He raised his eyebrows as the silvernette spit out something about Hikari, who he took to be the girl, and something about being her being his sister.
"Oh, okay, that's great that she's your sis-- WHAT!?" he yelled when it registered. He looked from Hikari to Riku, shock written in his face. "What the-- how didn't I notice that!?" He almost laughed in spite of himself. It made so much sense. He still didn't understand Namine's drawing, or why the two girls seemed to hate each other. Perhaps that would be explained too. He turned to Hikari.
"Sorry about before. Why didn't you just say so? Never mind, don't answer that. Riku would kill if he wasn't the first told." GO TO SCHOOL!?!

 “And I thought the Darkness was bad…xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIt doesn’t even compare to this Hell.” Riku laughed as what he had said hit Sora like a ton of bricks and the brunette began shouting. Riku calmed himself a bit before the Keyblade Master had. He was covering his mouth though, trying to conceal any other stray chuckles. Sora apologized then to his twin. Well, that had been easier than he expected. He sighed and dropped his hands to his sides. He remembered that Sora had asked earlier if he'd miss anything during school...
"There," the silvernette stated as he patted the spikes of Sora's hair, "Now you're up to date."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSoraxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFinally back!!! I can rest up, hang with my friends and...Sora sent a playful glare at Riku when he patted his hair. He then looked at the two siblings, wondering how he didn't notice before. Of course, Riku himself obviously hadn't noticed, so that made him feel a bit better. Upon looking over Hikari again, he noticed that her jaw was swollen. He glanced over at Riku accusingly. What had else had he missed? He didn't see a scratch on the male silvernette, so perhaps Hikari had gotten in a fight with someone else. He doubted it though.
"So, what else did I miss?" he inquired, staring pointedly at Hikari's jaw and back at Riku. "Like, where've you been the last 15/16 years, Hikari?" That was a good question. He hadn't forgotten about that picture with her and Xemnas. He didn't believe that the girl was bad anymore, but he was still concerned about her involvement with the Organzation. He hoped that nothing bad had happened to her. Still, he wanted to know what had happened in general. GO TO SCHOOL!?!

“And I thought the Darkness was bad…xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIt doesn’t even compare to this Hell.” Riku shrugged when Sora accused him of Hikari's injured jaw. It was him but he didn't feel like explaining that right now. His face dropped when the brunette asked where his sister had been. Of course, it needed to be answered but he felt like Hikari had been questioned enough today. "Xemnas kidnapped her and erased any memory of her that I or my parents had." Riku explained blankly.

Ηικαŕι Hikari shrugged when Sora exclaimed how he didn't notice the resemblance between the two before. "You're taking the news better than Riku did; he was about ready to kill me," she said casually, as if it weren't a big deal. Then when Riku explained to Sora as to where she had been, she shook her head lightly. "Actually, Riku, he only erased our parents' memories. You were too young to remember me anyway. We were only a year old when he came," she explained. She then looked at Sora. "I was used as Xehenort's guinea pig when he was under the direction of Ansem the Wise. I was largely the reason why he discovered how to separate Nobodies and Heartless in the first place," she said, with a hint of shame in her voice.

Naminé Miss Memory Witch  Once she was out of sight from the group, Naminé let out a sigh as the last of the anger she'd felt drained away, leaving her feeling nothing but exhausted at the thought of the weeks ahead. She would be pushing herself to her limits to do this for Riku, though of course she would never openly tell him how much trouble she would be putting herself through. He'd just worry.
The petite blonde walked the now-almost-familiar roads of Destiny Islands, soon finding herself upon a clump of houses. The girl stopped walking and closed her eyes briefly, replaying of few of Sora's memories in her head to make sure she was in the right place. She was. Naminé sat down on the curb in front of a house, looking like she was waiting for somebody. That way, no one would be overly suspicious or curious as to why a girl was randomly sitting close to the street. Leaning forward, she placed her elbows on her thighs and then rested her head in her hands, staring at the ground as she reached out with her mind. Her eyes unfocused as she allowed a small trickle of memories from each person in the area to flow through her, in order to find Riku's parents. Once she did, the petite blonde blocked out all of the others and focused solely on the silvernette's parents.
Taking a deep breath, she tensed as she prepared herself and opened them up to their minds. A flood of memories raced through her, causing her to gasp lightly. Once they'd begun she was unable to stop them until they were done. A few minutes later her eyes cleared and she straightened up, confused. For a moment she was unable to figure out who she was. Memories swirled within her. A mix of hers, Sora's and Riku's parents as well as from random strangers whom she'd allowed trickles of memories within before. It took a few moments but eventually she was able to push the other memories away and she was back to normal.
The girl got to her feet and brushed off her skirt before heading away from the houses and back into town. Instead of going back to Kairi's the girl angled away from that direction and went to her house. Reaching into the pocket of her skirt -- she was so happy the school uniform skirts had pockets -- she pulled out her key and unlocked the front door. Shutting the door behind her she placed her key on the table by the door before heading up the stairs and into her room. Her room was completely white -- much like the room she had in the Old Mansion back in Twilight Town. The room comforted her. Though it was plain -- only holding a queen size bed, a wardrobe and chest with drawers, a closet, and a small table pushed up against the wall -- it was exactly how Naminé liked it. The girl sat down at the chair at her table and her notebook appeared in front of her. Taking up the charcoal pencil in her right hand she flipped open to a blank page and began to draw out Riku's parents' memories. She started from the beginning, the early ones where Riku was still just a baby. The petite blonde sketched the important memories, adding in another person; Hikari. Everything in her house was silent save for the scratching of her pencil as it moved across the pad.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSoraxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFinally back!!! I can rest up, hang with my friends and...Sora looked up at Riku for a moment as he gave his poor explanation, and then Hikair piped up with a better one. He glanced at the male silvernette skeptically when his sister had said that he'd tried to kill her. That explained the swollen jaw. He then listened intently as she explained that she was kidnapped by Xehanort before he'd left Ansem. He guessed that when Xehanort had become a Heartless, Xemnas had taken her and done whatever Namine had drawn.
His expression softened when he sensed the regret in the girl's voice. It wasn't her fault the Heartless and the Nobody had taken her. He felt bad for accusing her in his mind of anything. Still, he wanted to keep an eye on her. If some experiment with her had gone wrong, there could still be consequences. He wanted to help her if she needed it too.
"Don't feel bad, Hikari," he told her, a soft smile on his face. "It's not your fault what happened to you. The only thing that matters is you're back here with your family and you're okay!" GO TO SCHOOL!?!

Ηικαŕι "Well, more or less," she answered him. "Since I've been exposed to the darkness for so long it's left a dark residue on me. I needed King Mickey's help just to be able to walk outside in natural sunlight, but for some reason he couldn't do anything with my eyes, so I have to wear these sunglasses all the time," she explained, tapping the brim of her sunglasses. "I can only take them off if I'm either in the Realm of Darkness or on a night with no moon. If you were to try to wear these, you might as well put a blindfold on your face," she said, wanting to give him an idea of just how dark her sunglasses were.

Axel lazily walked out of the school. Wait, what time was it? Ah, he didn't care, what he did care about was where the heck Lakayna went. Walking down a little ways, he noticed scorch marks. When did she learn fire teleportation? Shrugging it off, he examined it, then new where she went. Following her through the same way, and leaving more scorch marks, he arrived on the Island that Sora and them go. He spotted her almost instantly, and walking behind her he covered her eyes with his hand. Lowering his voice, he said, "I am Ansem, seeker of Darkness. I have a Nobody who likes to call himself Mansex. He spends most of his time with a fruity Nobody called Marluxia."

Lakayna's small smile grew wider when she heard a low but still familiar voice right in her ear. Her eyes had been covered up, yet she still knew who it was.
"You can't fool me Axel," she said with a giggle, "I know it's you."
Lakayna's hands reached up and pulled his off of her eyes. She turned around stightly to get a better look at his face. Lakayna's eyes were still slightly glazed over with signs that she had been crying, but no tears were falling now.

Axel instantly knew something was wrong. Sitting down, he said, "Hey, something's up. What's wrong?" He was really concerned, and hoped against hope it wasn't his fault.

Lakayna sat down beside Axel, not caring that they were actually sitting in the water. She looked out to the horizon breathing deeply before answering.
"I was thinking about a lot of things while I waited for you, and needed some more time to think about it, so I came here," she replied, "But coming here; it caused memories of my mother to come flooding back, and I didn't realize until now just how much I still miss her. I was young when she died, but I still remember her face and her gentle voice, especially when she would sing me to sleep as a baby."
Lakayna didn't want to admit it, but there was something else on her mind as well; about what tht girl Hikari had said. The dragon girl had a feeling it wouldn't be too long before Axel would guess what was bothering her, or ask about it.

Blink laid down with his arms flat out on the sand looking at the sky. "Im so lonely" blink said. "my whole family....gone" blinks tears stopped by now. "I wish they were back" blink said. Blink fell asleep on the sand and had a dream.
In blinks dream he was running down a corridor away from heartless at the age of 5.Then his sister Kiku came and ran next to him. The Heartless jumped on Blink and Kiku and blink woke up. "Ahh" blink exclaimed real loud. "huh?" blink looked around "Just a dream" blink said. "Id better get back to the care home. Blink pulled himself up with his crutches. As blink started to walk he tripped over a coconut and his crutches landed 1 meter out of reace. "Oh great" blink said. "i think ive twisted my ankle" blink said. "Anybody there?!"Blink shouted. "Ive hurt my ankle and i cant reace my crutches"Blink managed to turn over onto his back. "Hello?"" blink shouted at the top of his voice.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSoraxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFinally back!!! I can rest up, hang with my friends and...The brunette was interested in hearing more about Hikari's past. He knew there was probably still a lot she wasn't explaining, but the rest would come out in time. He was curious as to why the King hadn't given him and his friends a heads-up that Riku had a sister, but he guessed that she probably didn't even tell him. Or maybe she had (otherwise, why would he'd helped her?) but made him swear not to tell them. It didn't really matter either way, though, because now that she was here, things could start happening the way they were supposed to in the first place.
Sora opened his mouth to reply to Hikari when he heard a shout from somewhere in town. At first he thought of it as nothing, but then remembered that there was a chance that Heartless still roamed around here.
"I'm gonna go check that out," he told them, dismissing himself. "Have fun catching up, you two!" With that he darted off down the streets, heading in the general direction from which the shout had been heard. Soon, after a couple twists and turns, the Keyblade Master found himself on the beach. He looked around and hoped that someone hadn't been attacked/eaten by a shark. However, he saw the form of Blink sprawled out on the sand, his crutches just out of his reach. The brunette let out a relieved sigh and trotted to him.
"You okay, Blink?" he asked, kneeling down and grabbing his crutches for him. He gave them to him and helped him up. Upon looking closer at him, he noticed that he looked like he was crying.
"Hey, what's wrong? Did something happen?" GO TO SCHOOL!?!
