Yuzuki's P.O.V- Entrance Hall

"On your feet!" 1P13 commanded as Yukio and I were down on the ground. As we got up, Yukio held my hands and threw me towards her. She saw the move coming so she quickly sidestep. Yukio knowing that was her plan, he quickly ran to wear she countered the sidestep and tackled her down. After landing some punches, 1P13 threw Yukio across the hall, hitting the western wall.

"That's it." she said as she lifted her arm. The trident shot from the wall, unpinning Mitsuko's lifeless body to the ground, and landed in 1P13's hand like a magnet. "You are finis..." she said as she was interrupted by a Large Body falling from the sky on to her. Takeshi smiled and gave Yukio and I a thumbs up.

"And you said the Large body sky attack was a waste of time." Takeshi said trying to sound like he knew what was better.

"Its pretty good" Yukio said coming back from the wall

"Its just not worth the time, you had to climb up there without whats-her-face knowing you were doing it," I added, "If it wasn't for us distracting her, she would of probably popped you in a second"

"Enough guys, we are lucky it worked in the first place... Takeshi, can you move so we can see the damage?" Yukio asked and Takeshi rolled off. We looked at the damage... but there was no damage to be seen as if Takeshi missed. The only thing left was a happy face on a piece of paper.

"You think I squashed her so bad," Takeshi asked, "... That i made her into this piece of paper?"

I punched him in the shoulder.

"More like she teleported somewhere just as you were about to land on her." Yukio pointed out

"But she was a Neoshadow" I said, "Don't you think we would of seen the shadow leave from under Takeshi?"

"Not unless she knows how to teleport places on her own..." Yukio responded "We haven't even become that powerful yet."

"Then what's with the happy face?" Takeshi said

We all looked at each other thinking what it meant and suddenly... we all realized something was wrong, almost simultaneously. We looked towards Mitsuko... or at least where she was.

Great Crest

The castle seemed empty with the sound of silence seeming perfect for the mood. Sitting on the edge of the castle was Mamoru holding something in his hands.

"I'm so confused...", He told himself as he swayed his Shadow feet through the air, back and forth, "Should I stay with my friends and fight for our hearts back or stay in the system and be sentenced to eternity with the Dark Hide? I've done bad things and so far, the things I am doing with my friends are to good to be true. I don't deserve this... I don't deserve to fight for the good... I don't deserve to be happy... I deserve to be incarcerated."

He sighed, "I don't even deserve to be with someone as amazing and as talented as Mitsuko. I am just a Rank 1 heartless." He held the object tightly.

"Maybe this might show me who I am and what I deserve?" Mamoru looked down on his lap and opened the object, flapped through the pages and started reading.

Somewhere in Lift Stop- Takeshi P.O.V

"So where to now?" Yukio asked out of nowhere

Yuzuki and I looked at him with a reaction similar to if he said "Hey, guys I think all Sora wants to do is hug us, not kill us." It was once in a blue moon Yukio didn't have a game plan or at least a destination.

Yuzuki was confused and in denial, "Wait what did you say?"

"Where should we go next because I have no clue whats next." Yukio confirmed as he started leaning on the wall, waiting for an answer.

"I guess I have to come up with a plan." I said with my authority voice that usually ended in someone hitting me or someone laughing, maybe both. "So this is what is gonna go down, first we go find and save Mitsuko, then we find Mamoru, and then we... Actually what do we do after that?"

"Ugh" Yuzuki said, "I don't know... Yukio you can stop playing, you are always the one with the plan." 

Yukio shrugged, "Imma come clean here... ever since we left our squadron and have become rogue, I've been winging it."

We all stayed quiet for a second and as we arrived in some hallway, we had company. 

"Well the plan will have to wait," Takeshi said, "I've been aching to fight some guys."

"All agreed on Takeshi's plan?" Yukio said

"Ugh fine," Yuzuki sighed as she was getting in battle position, "But just this time I will agree."

Yukio and I turned to Defenders and Yuzuki as a Wizard. The first soldiers came sprinting toward us to just be lifted up and electrocuted by Yuzuki. It felt nice fighting again ... like old times.

Library- Mitsuko's P.O.V

"Where are we?!" I yelled struggling to get out of the Dark Bind that held me down.

"Where else can we be, 2B17?" 1P13 spat back, "Don't you see all the books or the shelves?"

"No... because I'm blindfolded"

"Oh ya, forgot to take that off" She got down to unloosen it and as she untied the wrapping, I bit her.

She squealed and brought her hand back quickly, "And now I remember why I didn't."

I started observing the piles and piles of shelves with the endless mount of books they contained, all of different shapes, sizes, and colors. The first idea that really came to my head was that at least one of these books contained some part of my history... but more importantly Mamoru's. As I was stuck tied to a big pillar, 1P13 started looking for some books from a list in here hand with what looked to be like 5 lines of scribbles from where I was. I heard her whispering as she was trailing the row of books with her Neoshadow finger, "Y...... Yu......Yuffie?"

"Yuffie?" I asked

"What's 1A43's name again?" 1P13 asked back

"Don't you have it on that paper?"

"I guess the people at records are new at the job... I remember its Yuzuki."

I was still curious on what she was looking for... Wait a second, is she looking for the...

"Haha, here we go." She took out a book from the shelf and flipped through the pages. "By the way, 1A43's real name isn't Yuzuki, its Nariko." She started reading from the book. "It says here that Nariko, says here means Thunder Child, was born from Keyblade masters but after her mother was struck down, her father started growing darkness in his heart." She kept reading on, "Wow, it says here that when she grew up, she became a female warlord that raided through worlds using her Unique Lightning Keyblade called Kirin. That's a pretty cool name."

"Wow," I said shockingly (some pun intended), "That makes a lot of sense and that is a cool name."

"There is one more thing... Her heart was taken through a great battle with warriors that where exiled by the light named Light's Bane who were lead by General Yukio Maki."

This time I was actually shocked... How can Yukio have struck down Nariko, I mean Yuzuki, and now as heartless by inseparable? "OK, I've had enough, you can let me go now."

"Oh not yet, I have 2 more people to go and I thought you liked this." 1P13 looked down at me with her hands on her knees, "What? Did you think that your friends were perfect in their past life?"

I started filling myself with anger and looked away

"Awww, you thought that all your friends were gonna be all lovey dovey and perfect without killing a fly. How adorable."

I spit in her face.

She wiped it off of her face and punched me back in the face, "Just because you followed them and you befriended them, doesn't mean they are doing the right thing."

I looked down and teared up a bit. Was she right? Was I just living a fantasy with my friends and didn't acknowledge the fact that they were bad people? I don't even think there is a way to get our hearts back and if there is, I would just be bring back people that caused pain and misery to others. They deserve to be in the darkness and deserve to be captured. I started crying.

1P13 sat next to me and put an arm around me. "I know it hurts to know the truth but sometimes the truth is the best thing to know." She started rubbing my back, "Tell you what, lets go back to RoD and ill make sure your punishment isn't as harsh." I nodded and agreed.

We started walking out of the Library and into the Entrance Hall when we saw Sora fighting Riku with his whole animal gang. 

"Let me take care of this and you stay right here." 1P13 said as she sneaked to the sidelines of the battle scene.

As I watched hits being given and taken, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Mamoru offering me his hand, "Hey, lets get outta here." I smiled for a moment but it turned to a sad frown, I nodded a no. "I'm going back to RoD to pay for what I did."

Mamoru looked at me and he also noticed I was still tied up, "Well since you are tied up and probably brainwashed." He said as he picked me up and kissed me on the cheek, "That the real Mitsuko will go with me."

He made my smile show, and since he was technically right, I didn't resist. He then carried me through the library, up the Lift stop, through the crowds of Heartless (sometimes using me as the weapon), to the Great Crest where the view was like no other. 

"Well, first thing is first..." He said as he untied me from the Bind, "So if you want to leave, you can."

I stayed and even leaned in to him, "Ehhh, this view is pretty amazing... I guess I can stay for a little while."

"Yeah, you're right this view is pretty amazing" He added as I looked at him and I saw that he was looking straight at me with a smile. He kissed me and we stared at the sky for a bit longer. 

"Well, I found these 2 book from the Library and while I was thinking up here, I started reading them." Mamoru explained. I got off of him so he can take the books from the bag he had.

"What were they about?" I asked him

He sighed, "You, Mitsuko Miyamoto, were married to Hisashi Miyamoto and you had one child with him." He showed me a picture and it was a picture with a a woman with long silver hair next to a man with dark brown hair and glasses, between them was a child probably about 4 to 5 years old with short sliver hair, a yellow shirt and blue pants.

"Wait a second..." I realized something, "Isn't that how yo..."

"Yeah," He sighed again, "We were married and our child is Riku, the one that got sucked into to the darkness."

I gasped. I couldn't believe it. Mamoru and I were destined to be together but one question stayed in my mind, "How did we pass?"

"It says that we were overrun by heartless," He explained with a sad tone, "We fought as hard as we could but we were eventually overrun and taken. The book says the Heartless didn't know the baby was hidden so they left without harming him."

The feelings and memories came back rushing like a broken dam, I started remembering everything that happened as if it was yesterday.

"I remember now." I told Mamoru, "Its all coming back to me"

"That's what I said and I remember saying to the child when it was born that whether his heart was filled with light or darkness, I would still love him and nothing would stop that." He started tearing up as soon as he saw me tear up, "That should be the same love we have toward our friends, whether or not they have done bad things in the past, they have taken care of us so far. We should love them no matter what." He smiled

"And I remembered you were always good with words and knew the exact things to say when I got in trouble when we were little." I said with the biggest smile

"Let's go" He said as he got up

"Where?" 

"Our friends found a way to get to Kingdom Hearts, we might get our hearts back. Its in this place called the Grand Hall."

He helped me up and we were off to the Grand Hall.

On our way, Mamoru stopped "Oh wait I forgot to show you something." Mamoru pointed out

"What?" I asked suspiciously

"Look at the author."

I looked and I read it out loud, "Written by Takeshi K... wait tis that the same...?"

"Yeah, I got contact with a buddy of mine back in Records. He told me 1P13 intentions and he told me that Takeshi's real name... is Takeshi"

"Wow, what a coincidence"

"Yeah, could it be that Takeshi is actually more intellectual than how he looks?"

"I don't know... I once saw him cast an ice spell on himself because he wanted to know how snow cones tasted."

"Wait, you could do that?"

I punched him in the shoulder and we entered the Chapel

I love Hisahi, or Mamoru. 

No matter where we go, no matter what happens, heart or no heart,friends or no friends, as long as I am with Mamoru, I will be fine.
