I sat down on the bed as Irix closed  the door for me. She sat down next to me. "Not can you tell me what happened since we're all alone?"

"Even though I still don't want to- OW!" She smacked my arm harm.

"Did that hurt?"

"Did that hurt? Yes it did! Why did you think it wouldn't?" I rubbed my arm.

"Well, you're always going to get hurt, my girl, especially with your work ethic and your smart mouth."

"What do you mean?"

"Something happened between you and Maleficent, didn't it? And I can tell you're upset that you got hurt." Wow, she did know. I tilted my head in curiousity and wonder.

"How did you know that?"

"I know 'cause I am you, mate. I'm your Nobody." She told me and I widened my eyes; that brought back the memory of her, Amara, and Yami- of how they are their own person.

"No... Irix, you're not me! Not you, Amara, or Yami are me. You guys are you're own person. Amara's my daughter, and you and Yami are my sisters." I hugged her and smiled, "The reason you love Roxas is proof. I don't love Sora that way but you did love his Nobody-"

"I still do."

"Exactly! You should never consider yourself as me and don't let anyone tell you you don't matter." I pulled away from the hug and she was tearing up.

"I miss him, Reese... but I totally get why Etro choose you." She grabbed my hands and our hands dimly glowed. I gasped as my heart pulsated and received some of her memories. From the time she joined the organization to the time she left it. From when she wake up in the digital world with Roxas to them parting ways. She has had a rough life. Tears brimmed my eyes and she sighed, "Despite all that has happened... He deserves to come back."

"Ice..." I cupped her cheek. "You're okay sis. You're still here. Meaning he can come back. Rather if it happens or not, that's up to Sora. But I know he will bring him home."

She hugged me and sighed, "Thank you sis..." there was a knock.

"Hey, you too. I'm going to see Yen Sid. Wanna come with me?" Lea opened the door and peeked in. We smiled at him.

"Yeah!"

"WHAT!?" Mickey, Donald, Goofy and I stared at Lea in shock.

"Absolutely not!" The duck said.

"I sensed something was amiss nearly the moment Sora and Riku departed." Yen Sid sighed, "Xehanort must have known what we  attempting before we begin."

"But do you know where they are?" Irix asked Yen Sid, who stroked his beard.

"Master Yen Sid, I found my Mark a different way! I should've asked thus before but why did you send them down this road?" I glared at him, questioning his methods.

"In the light of what they must do next... It was a necessity. If Sora and Riku complete their test, by finding the seven doors corresponding to the seven pure lights, they will return home with a new power. At that point, they will both be true masters." He explained.

"But Xehanort might be after them now!" I said and he sighed.

"I know. The dangers make this more of trail than a test."

"You knew!? Then why did you send them?!" I was pissed off at that point.

"Reese, calm down." Lea calmed me down.

"Are they safe now?" Mickey asked.

"Considering their ability, I would like to believe that they are. However, all my attempts to locate Sora and Riku end... questionably." He said and I felt worried.

"No..." My heart pulsated and I held it.

"Xehanort is a devious tactician. Their is nothing we can do that he will not, to some extent, be able to predict."

"Yeah, but I know what he is capable! We have to do something-" I was interupted when he continued.

"As you can see, the organization's members are complete people again. Xehanort will be no different. We cannot afford another moment's hesitation, but we also need a plan. We must consider any strategy to outwit Xehanort and catch him off guard."

I hummed in response and came up with an idea. I looked at Lea, "That's it! He doesn't expect Lea to help!"

"Yes..." He looked at Lea. "I must warn you again- the road will not be easy." Yen Sid told him.

"I can help him!" Irix said and Lea smiled.

"Gee, thanks, Ice!" He said, chuckling, "Alright, let's jump right in!"

I chuckled too and my heart pulsated again, followed by dizziness. I held my head, "Ugh..."

"Sis...?" Ice looked at me and I closed my eyes. I wasn't having another vision, no. This was different. I sensed something was wrong with Sora.

"Oh... no..." I felt arms catch me as I fell back. Last thing I heard was everyone calling my name.

AN Sorry short chapter.
