Voice- Kayame? Hey! Hey wake up!!

I felt something hit my stomach. I opened my eyes and sat up. My blue hair slipped off my shoulder.

Me- who…who are you?
Voice- you Kayame?
Me- uh…depends…who wants to know?

A young boy about my age walked out of the shadow of the building. He had longish silver hair and wore a black robe.

Me- who…
Boy- my name is unimportant. Come with me now.
Me- what if I don’t?
Boy- you’ll deeply regret it.
Me- yeah? What are you gonna do?

He put his hand so it is parallel to the ground. A dark-rigged-looking sword appeared in his gloved hand. He spun the sword around with one hand and pointed it at me.

Boy- I will kill you.

I flipped backwards and landed on my feet next to a pole. I picked it up and spun it around and pointed it to him. He stood in shock on how quickly I reacted.

Me- bring it on!
Boy- *smirks* I was told that you would try and fight back…
Me- I don’t need to try!! Ill kick your ass no problem!!
Boy- your not fighting at all…you’re coming with me. Whether you’re unconscious or not.
Me- huh?

He disappeared and reappeared behind me. I felt him hit the back of my neck.

Me- ch…eat…er…

I fell to the cold sidewalk below me. I landed in a huge puddle made from the rain the night before. He picked me up and swung me over his shoulder.

Boy- Kayame…abandoned when you were young…now you rarely speak even when spoke to…beaten on the streets on how small you are…so you learned to fight…no known family…so you’ve been alone…I may not know you…but I know everything about you.
Voice- maybe that makes you a stalker.

The silver haired boy whirled around to see another boy a little older looking. He had longish red hair and markings on his face.

Boy- Axel! What are you doing here?!
Axel- oh…just making sure you’re doing what you’re told…
Boy- I don’t need a babysitter. I have everything under control.

He looked from the boy to me out cold over his shoulder. Axel laughed.

Axel- what’s the matter Riku? Can’t handle a little girl without beating her unconscious??
Riku- you have no idea what she’s capable of. Xemnas says--
Axel- Xemnas  says a lot of things. He’s been wrong about a lot of things as well. And he’s wrong about that little brat you’re carrying too.
Riku- the Organization--
Axel- is falling apart. Roxas is missing…he left us…left me…
Riku- what?! Where?!
Axel- we don’t know…but…the other Nobodies…
Riku- I know…that’s why I toke the liberty of looking for her. After I heard Xemnas talking to Saix…he talked about what she can do for you…for us! She has an amazing ability Axel!
Axel- it’s not true! Xemnas is wrong about her Riku I’m telling ya!! She’ll bring nothing but trouble for the Organization.
Riku- well I don’t think so. And we’ll see who’s right and who’s wrong.

A shadow door appeared behind him.

Riku- goodbye Axel. Give Xemnas my best when you go tell him what I’ve done.

Riku walked into the shadows and left Axel standing alone.

Axel- dammit!!

Meanwhile, Riku left me lying in Hallow Bastion square and disappeared.

Riku- (we’ll just test my beliefs…)

A boy with blonde spiky hair walked by me than stopped.

Boy- hey you…

He knelt down beside me and held my head up.

Boy- hey! You alive?

My eyes slowly opened. Above me I saw him. The blonde spiky hair and determined blue eyes. A huge sword on his back.

Boy- are you ok? Where did you come from?
Me-……………
Boy- can you…talk?

I looked away. I felt him pick me up like it was nothing. I looked around in shock then looked at him.

Boy- you’re not that heavy. When’s the last time you ate kid?

Without and answer, he began walking across the square. He stopped at a market.

Boy- give me some ice cream…please.

The store clerk gave him a blue Popsicle and he gave it to me. I hesitated to take it.

Boy- go on. It’s not poison. It’s ice cream. Eat it.

I slowly toke it and toke a lick. It was cold on my warm tongue. But it tasted good. Sweet but salty…

Boy- see?

He began walking again (still carrying me) down some stairs. He turned a few corners and stopped.

Boy- this is headquarters for the Hallow Bastion Restoration Committee. You’ll be safe from anything here.

Without another word, he walked in the door. Inside, it was filled with books everywhere. There was a computer on the North side. There was another boy, he had longish spiky brown hair. He turned around when he heard us open the door. He had a scar across his face.

Boy- Cloud…

Cloud, the blonde one, spoke to the other boy.

Cloud- Leon. I found this girl lying unconscious in the square. I’m not sure who she is.
Leon- put her on the bed…I imagine she’s worn out…

Cloud nodded and put me on a warm bed. I almost dropped my ice cream in shock on how soft it was. Cloud walked back over to Leon and the began talking.

Leon- who is she? Do you know anything about her at all? Her name? What happened to her? She’s so beaten up…
Cloud- I’m not sure  if she even speaks. I’ve asked her for her name but she hasn’t talked at all.
Leon- how are we supposed to know if she’s a threat to us or not?
Cloud- she’s a young girl Leon…I’m sure she can’t do much.

I sat there quietly listening. I pretended to be distracted by my ice cream and opened a book that was on the bed.

Cloud- I got her some ice cream and she thought it was poison or something…she’s not very familiar with much around here.
Leon- but how did she get here…?
Voice- how did who get here?

We all looked in the doorway to see 3 people. Two young girls and an older looking man. One of the girls looked and me and grinned. She trotted over to me and bent down to my level.

Girl- why hello there. What’s your name?

I backed on the bed a little more to get further away from her. She stood back up and pouted towards Leon.

Girl- poor girl must be traumatized…

I sat there staring at the new faces. The girl in front of me had short black hair and was pretty spunky looking. She felt me staring at her and looked back at me.

Girl- oh I’m sorry. I haven’t introduced myself. I’m the Great Ninja Yuffie. You’re probably already met Cloud and Squall.
Leon- that’s Leon…
Yuffie- whatever…anyway…

She pointed to the other girl. She had long brown braided hair and smiled sweetly at me.

Yuffie- that’s Aerith.
Aerith- hello. Nice to meet you.
Yuffie- and that blonde old man over there is Cid.
Cid- hey! I’m not that old!!
Yuffie- *mutters* old enough…

She looked at me and smiled.
Yuffie- so…can you…ya know talk? Well first do you understand what we’re saying?

I nodded slowly. My eyes never left hers. I could see the hope and faith in her eyes and I could tell she really wanted to help. I tried the other’s eyes earlier but they weren’t the same to me. So my decision was to trust Yuffie. So I nodded a little more confidently. She saw what I was thinking in my hopeful sparkling eyes and smiled at her success.
