"I miss them."

Sora smiles, presses his hand to his chest. He hasn't seen Pence, Olette and Hayner for a while now. It's been so long, and yet he hasn't thought of visiting them. He finds it a bit of betrayal, having spent most of his days on the Islands and yet never coming back. He misses them, and right now he knows he has to make things right. The boy smiles in delight at the mere thought of it, reuniting with friends he thought he'd never see again. As he walks through the cobblestone paths of Twilight Town, he feels a sense of relief - perhaps remorse. It's not destroyed after all. It's fine, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. The Keyblade Wielder continues to walk, lips curved up into one of those cheerful smiles of his - the trademark of his being, the personification of what he is. The boy halts, however, at the feeling of warmth trickling the back of his neck, turns his head back and stares.

He's at the station, now, and he notices with a heavy heart that the sun is rising. It's a new beginning, he thinks. A new day, because he left the Islands so late. The boy's ready to laugh right then and there at the pure joy of it. He runs fingers through spiky locks, runs to the edge and spreads his arms; takes in the delight of the sun.

"Good morning!" he calls, loud and clear, voice echoing and reverberating through the emptiness of the train station.

An ordinary boy, far from home.

[Xiruk]

Xiruk was woken from his nap by a loud voice declaring how good the morning was. Well it didn't seem very good to him. He crawled from his makeshift bed in the alleyway and went to see what was going on. He was planning to rise soon anyways. He walked up to the silhouette of the only person around.

[purple]You'll wake up the whole town like that. Hey kid w-[/purple]

It was then that he noticed why that spiky hairdo was familiar. The relevation left him speechless. Here he had been searching for Sora and he falls into his lap.

Sora blinks when he hears someone address him, and then laughs at the statement. He turns around, starting to speak - before pausing. The look, the person, the everything; even the voice - they are all familiar to his mind. Except the violet eyes. His heart catches in his throat, and Sora closes his eyes - before opening them and letting a charming, happy little grin appear on his face, hand raising to his forehead and making a mock salute.

"They're supposed to wake up, you know? Can't they tell it's morning?" he calls right back, not minding whether a sarcastic remark would erupt from this, or if a sudden agreement would occur. Things are different, and although he looks like Riku, he isn't exactly him. Riku doesn't wear contact lenses, does he?

"Or maybe this place is called Twilight Town for a reason.."

[Xiruk]

And that was that. He was definately Sora, that much was certain. Xiruk's silver cloak glistened in the sunlight as he wrapped his arms around Sora. Tears welled up in his eyes even though he knew he had no emotion.

[purple]Sora. It's really you...I've finally found you. Don't you remember me?[/purple]

He hugged Sora tightly, so happy to have found him again. He never wanted to lose him again.

Sora's surprised at the sudden change of events, at the sudden feel of arms around him, and almost reflexively he moves to return the gesture. He's not sure as to what this person is speaking of, of having forgotten him, but he thinks that if this stranger is really someone he knows, then Sora definitely can't remember him. The Keyblade Wielder feels a sense of remorse at his inability, and as he pulls back; he stares at the face of this person - so similar to him - but the look in his eyes is different. Sora smiles gently.

"I want to.. but I've slept for two years because I lost all my memories, and I'm not sure if all the memories I had came back.." he whispers, telling the truth, not wanting to break the heart of someone he's forgotten.

"I'm sorry."

[Xiruk]

Xiruk was sad that Sora didn't remember him. He thought back to what that one Nobody had told him -what was her name? Arixbaan- about his true name. He swallowed down some phlegm that had come up in his throat.

[purple]My...true name is....Riku.[/purple]

He hoped by divulging to Sora his true name he might remember him, after all this was technically the first time he had met Sora. All those other times were simply memories of when he was whole. Sora didn't know him. Sora knew Riku. He smiled weakly down at Sora, who was shorter than her remembered. Or maybe he was just taller...The thought didn't even phase him. He was just happy to be back around Sora, one of his only two real friends.

The hug had yet to end.

Sora's eyes widen a little at the name he's given, thinking about Riku and letting the memories of his childhood flash back and forth throughout his mind. His grip on Xiruk tightens considerably, and a single thought about this stranger - or not - comes to him. A Nobody. Xiruk is a Nobody, just like Roxas is to him.

Impossible.

Sora looks up at him, suddenly feels very short. This person - this Nobody? - he wants acceptance. And Sora's not very mean. He'll give that acceptance, he'll give it to him, because he cares.

Sora's arms reflexively turn comforting, and he rests his forehead on Xiruk's shoulder, hand gently rubbing his back in a sign of affection. It's alright, it's alright. Just because you're a shell of my best friend since I was a kid doesn't mean you have to not belong with my friend group. You're fine, and I like you just the way you are.

"No. No, you're Xiruk. You're not Riku. You're.. you're someone else."

He pulls back, lets that charming grin cross his features.

"You have feelings, don't you? And that's something special."

[Xiruk]

He smiled at Sora's touch and just leaned against him.

[purple]Thank you....[/purple]

He held Sora and just stood there, enjoying the warmth from someone whom had shared so many memories with him. Sora was in every single one of Xiruk's memories from before. He opened his mouth to speak, but decided he didn't want to ruin the moment. Instead he simply wrapped his arms tighter around the boy and gently lowered his face against the back of Sora's neck.

The feel of pressure against his neck makes the boy shudder just a little, tongue brushing gently against his lips. He closes his eyes for a moment, tries to get himself to relax (it's so warm--); and then he steps out of the hug, fingers curling with Xiruk's and that smile on his face.

"Why don't we go make more memories, Xiruk?" he asks, charm practically spilling out of his pores and engulfing the atmosphere. This isn't Riku, he thinks. This is someone else entirely. And Sora thinks that he deserves the chance to live.

"I want to make every moment last."

And he waits, because he doesn't want to impose. He doesn't want to make Xiruk do things he doesn't want to do.

No more darkness.

No more.

[Xiruk]

Sora stepped out of the hug and Xiruk was left with nothing but cold air on his face. He didn't resist and slid his arms out of the way when Sora began stepping back, and while it was wonderful, he already missed the feeling of a warm body so close to him. When Sora spoke though, his heart leapt for joy. Sora couldn't have said more perfect words. His face grew into a wide smile, his fingers intertwined with Sora's.

[purple]I'd....like that a lot.....Sora.[/purple]

He would go to the ends of the universe to remain with Sora. Wherever Sora wanted to go, Xiruk wanted to be there with him.
