Third Journal Entry: Reasured

Hikaru Harada:

Main character. She has lived on the streets of Twilight Town for most of her life (at least as much as she can remember). Hikaru was a thief using her keyblade Forgotten Memories until Masters Roxas and Sora took her in their care and trained her.

Chaos:

A mysterious boy wearing Organization 13's old cloak whos lived with Master Eriquas as he trained. Very obedient, anything beyond that seems to be a mystery.

Hunter:

A young girl the same age as Hikaru. Like a nobody she seemed to appear in Castle Oblivion with only foggy memories slowly coming back to her. Tough and sturdy she has great power and a temper to match.

Master Eriquas:

A legend in keyblade masters, his age seems to be near Master Yen Sid's. His keyblades power reaches far beyond Masters Roxas and Sora's.

Masters Roxas and Sora:

Both reaching their age of 20s they have worked together ever since teenage years. Not a lot of people know this but Roxas is Sora's nobody.

Faust:

A mysterious boy who nobody knows. Very young though, about 13. In this chapter we learn some more things about Faust, but maybe he doesn't know a lot about himself either?

Everyone leaned over Faust in awe. Puzzled, Faust looks around saying "What's going on?"

Chaos helps him up. "Hunter just healed you."

Hunter and I exchanged looks. She looked just as surprised as everyone did.

After a pause Master Eriquas walks forward. "Maybe questions can be answers another day? Why not everyone come back to finish the meal."

Hunter and I smile. I wonder why we clicked so fast? It's starting to get unnatural...

"Yeah I'm starving!" Hunter yelled as she ran for the door. Apparently Master's chat with her calmed her down.

"Last one washes the dishes!" Chaos yelled as he chased after her.

I chuckled before I gestured Faust over. "Come on, I don't think they're kidding."

After that evening of eating and talking everyone was stuffed, the dishes have disappeared, and Master Eriquas and Chaos showed us students where the dorms were.

Chaos huffed. "Okay. So here are your dorms."

Faust looked around. "Um...which one is mine?" I couldn't blame him, the doors looked exactly the same.

Master Eriquas gave us some odd directions. "Please close your eyes and imagine a door that resembles you. Keep this doors image in your head, and do not open your eyes until asked so."

Chaos smiled in excitement as us students following our master's orders. Almost instantly when I closed my eyes I thought of my bedroom door, the one in Twilight Town. I smiled at the thought of seeing that wooden door and my bedroom's Destiny Island decor again. At least that's what Master Sora told me, I've only been to the Destiny Islands once when I was just a beginner. That's when I remember...

"Alright you may open your eyes." Master Eriquas told us. When I opened my eyes and looked around I saw some of the dorm doors have changed.

In front of Faust was a white door with a golden doorknob. When I look again I see a beautiful light blue feather patteren as if someone dipped a feather in paint and stamped it all over the door.

Hunters door looked just like the front doors of the castle, except its frame was a dark purple.

When I faced forward to see mine I was shocked. It was my bedroom door, wood and all. This can't be right, I thought as I skimmed over the door and found the exact marks I was looking for.

There were lines on its frame to show how big I've grown living with Masters Roxas and Sora. I smiled softly by the memory. Roxas was the one who did this with me, he was always the father figure while Sora would be the big brother I never had.

I stood up with my smile dimmed. Now I really am homesick. "Master, can I go to your studies? I'd like to speak with Masters Sora and Roxas."

"Ah yes. I've already had the mirror ready for you Hikaru." Master Eriquas bowed with a smile. "I will be resting now. Goodnight all."

"Yes goodnight Master." Chaos and I said at the same time.

I ran instead of looking back at Chaos. I wanted to see my masters so badly I didn't even realize it. As I tripped on the way into Master Eriquas' studies I heard faint laughing in the corner. When I look up, Sora and Roxas were standing inside the mirror Master Eriquas told me about. They smiled back at me.

"Hey! How's your first day been?" Sora asked.

I smile as I walked up to the tall mirror. "Unexpected." I said simply before I reached for the mirror.

Roxas sighed. "I'm sorry Hikaru, you can't reach us like that."

My fingers only pressed against glass. I have to admit I was a little disappointed. "That's fine. At least I'm talking to you guys."

"That's the spirit." Roxas smiled. "Did you start training yet?"

I smile, I liked answering my masters questions. After answering a few, Sora tells me, "Well Hikaru, I have a prezent for you.."

"Oh?" I said as Sora points to Master Eriquas' desk.

Sora continued. "That small box can come in handy now and then. Maybe you'll find a good use for it when you open it in your room?"

I nod when I put the small box in my pocket. "Right. Thanks." We talked for a little while longer, filling them in on what's happened until I felt satisfied. "Well, I guess I have to get going. Sleep is calling me." I said as I waved bye.

Sora and Roxas nod and said, "Okay, goodnight!" at the same time before they disappeared like sand.

As I looked at the mirror I saw my reflection, but not just mine. In the corner of the door I saw Faust flash bye. I turned and saw him out in the hall. "Why were you eavesdropping?"

He looked down to the floor. "...Sorry. I've been here all this time, couse I herd you say your friends with a Master Roxas."

"Yeah, and?"

"Well, I'm friends with a Roxas too." Faust looked at me with truthful eyes.

"How could you possibly know him?" I wondered outloud.

Faust looked around before telling me. "We're in Organization 13."

I jumped. "How? How did you know Roxas was part of that orginization?"

"Was? Did he leave? Did something happen?"

I stared at him with a blank look. "...All Organization 13 members are no more. Half was terminated. They have been for 10 years, except Roxas, Lea, and a few others."

Stunned, Faust got worried. "S-so... Demix, Xemnas?"

I shook my head. "Sorry. ...How long have you been gone?"

Faust was breaking into pieces right in front of me until he ran off. I just stood there and watched him disappear. It was good for him to know the truth. Right?

I decided to walk slowly to my dorm. Studying my door again as I prepare myself to walk inside. I cracked the door open... to dark to see. I walk in and close the door behind me. "Hmm..." I though before clapping my hands three times.

When nothing happened I sighed, then the lights turned on. When I lift my head the first thing I see is my window, then my bed, and then my closet. Its my bedroom, Destiny Island themed and all! I smiled. Although my real bedroom was still in Twilight Town it still looked the same, even the smell of smoke from all the chimneys around town lingered here.

"...Oh that's right." I mumbled. "Let's see what you do." I pulled out the small box Master Sora gave me. When opening it I found nothing. It was empty, except I noticed a message on the ribbon the box was tide with.

"Even though your box is empty, now your room isn't. -S"

Just as the words were spoken something in my closet shook. I rushed to look, and saw all my clothes and belongings were inside. I sighed with a smile as I thanked Sora in my head. He's always there for me I guess.
