"You don't have to be so dramatic."

Everyone heard his voice in their minds, but only Aiko talked back to it.

"I guess I can be as dramatic as I want," she retorted.

"Maybe," said the shimmering Roxas with a shrug. "But you're kinda creeping everyone out."

Aiko looked at the others, their mouths still gaping open in amazement. "Oh, right..." She scratched the back of her neck. "This is the very very long story. And the kinda crucial part I left out."

Sora walked up to his nobody. "Is he real?" He poked the translucent face with a finger. It went straight through.

"Stop that," Roxas tried to wave Sora away, but his hands just passed through his somebody's body. "It feels weird. And yes, I am real."

"He doesn't look like just a heart..." Riku started. He glanced at Aiko for clarification.

She shut her green eyes again. "Yeah. If it were anybody but me, Roxas wouldn't be able to have a semi-real form. Then again, he isn't just a heart. When I use my aura," she cracked open one eye. " I can merge his soul and heart to make him visible to others. It just takes a lot of energy out of me."

"So how did you end up with him in you anyway?" Lea asked.

"Long story short: When Roxas gave Sora his memories in the World that Never Was, he started drifting out of Sora's heart. Somehow I ended up finding him, gave him back most of his memories through the video games, and started to train using my aura. I promised that I could make him human." She opened her eyes fully. "That was nearly three years ago."

"Three years?" Kairi repeated. "But here it's only been a few weeks!"

Aiko nodded. "I know. Time flows differently between our worlds. And it's almost never regular."

"You must be missing a lot back home, then." Sora folded his arms behind his head. "What are you gonna do when you get back?"

Aiko and Roxas exchanged a glance.

"Aiko doesn't plan on going back," Roxas finally said.

"Huh? Why not?"

She shook her head in frustration. "No, there would be too many complications... I've already thought this through, over and over again, trust me. It's to protect reality. If I go back, people will ask questions."

"Can't you just answer them?" Sora asked in innocent confusion. "Ow!"

Kairi put her hand down after smacking Sora in the back of the head. "If she answers the questions, they'll call her a nut case. In her universe, we don't really exist, remember?"

"Oh, right..."

"I'd never be able to face my family, either," Aiko added, fidgeting with the sword around her neck. "Or any of my friends. I ran away from my entire universe. Things like that don't go unnoticed," she shook her head. "It hurt to think about what they must be feeling..."

"So then where will you go after all of this?" Lea questioned.

"Let's think about that afterwords. When Xehanort is finished."

"True. We must return to the issue of Xehanort," Yen Sid agreed, but he gave the image of Roxas a look. "You may want to conserve your energy, Aiko. It's tiring to keep a projection out for so long."

Aiko gave a small smile, and for the first time the others saw the small layer of sweat coating her face. "You noticed." She gave Roxas a sideways glance, silently asking his permission.

"Go ahead."

She let out a long breath, and Roxas dissolved into golden aura once again and returned to her. The gold colour vanished and green became brown again.

"Hah," She staggered forward a step, holding a hand to her head. "That was... trying."

Everyone winced in the room as she stumbled over her own feet and fell, faceplanting on  the floor.

"So that's why she was unconscious." Sora deduced.

"Should we wake her up?" Asked Goofy.

"No, no, I'm awake." Aiko's muffled voice assured them. She pushed herself off the ground. "I've just used too much aura in one day."

The three good fairies filled her view. "Dear, are you alright? You fell quite hard, you might have a concussion!" They fretted.

Aiko waved them off. "I've been having head injuries and concussions since before I was even a year old. One more won't kill me."

"That's... intense."

"More like I'm accident prone."

"Do you collapse every time you make Roxas visible?" Riku asked.

She shook her head. "Of course not! I had to use some aura to open a way through worlds, didn't I?"

"You mean from your world?"Kairi asked.

"Did your machine not work?"

Aiko stared at her. "Wait, you actually believed that? No!"

"What? Then how did you leave your world?"

"Using this." She held a hand out, palm forward. There was a flash of light as she summoned something to her hand.

A keyblade.

Okay, okay! No more powers for Aiko! I get it!

..... Sorry, she's gonna have a couple more. :p For story's sake.

Also, this story is based on the theory that KH3 will come out some time in 2015, thus why it's been 3 years in our world.

Dunno if anyone's actually reading this (no comments D:) but if you want a certain world or person to come up in the story, just give a shout! ....I actually desperately need some world suggestions.

Aaand (I'm writing so much down here) there's a pic of someone who looks kinda like Aiko in the box! I would've put up my own, but.... 

Yea, it sucks, so no. Maybe next time!
