The Princess's Nobody (A KH 358/2 Days Fanfiction)

Riku the impostor

—Day 119—

Important things can be a weakness. Roxas and Kirihax talked to Xion about what Xaldin said during their mission, but they were unable to understand the meaning of Xaldin's words. Roxas and Kirihax continued their daily missions. Meanwhile, Axel was on a top secret mission.

—Day 149—

Roxas and Kirihax are enjoying their sea salt ice cream on the clock tower of Twilight Town.

"Hey, Roxas, Kirihax!" Axel greeted as he arrived to see them.

Roxas and Kirihax saw Axel. "Axel..."

"You're back!" Kirihax smiled.

Axel smiled as he sat down next to the two. "Yup, I just got home. So, are you two holding up?"

"Yeah," Roxas and Kirihax nodded.

"Where's Xion?" Axel asked.

"She's not here yet," Kirihax answered.

"Huh," Axel said, looking surprised.

"She's usually here by now," Roxas said as he took a bite of the ice cream.

"I agree," Kirihax nodded. "This isn't like her... Not like Xion at all."

Meanwhile at the castle of The World that Never Was... Xion sits down and curled up on her bed, crying as the tears streamed down her face. After all that crying, she said to herself, "How could he..." She had remembered the time when she went face-to-face with someone in the black coat, wearing a blindfold at The Beast's Castle. The imposter himself... Riku. "I'm not a sham..."

—Day 150—

At the Beast's Castle, Riku was remembering when he was confronting Xion. He pulled down his hood and looked up at the stars.

Meanwhile in the castle of The World that Never Was, Roxas and Kirihax were walking through the Twilight's View until they stopped to see Xion pleading with Saïx.

"Just give me another chance!" Xion sobbed.

Saïx gave Xion a stern look. "We can't afford to take any more chances on you. You were a mistake we never should have made."

Xion looked down and started to cry quietly as Saïx left without a word.

Roxas and Kirihax walked up to Xion. "Xion?" Roxas said, looking worried.

"Are you okay?" Kirihax asked.

Xion said nothing and ran away from Roxas and Kirihax.

At Twilight Town, Axel arrived at the clock tower and saw just Roxas and Kirihax. "Where's Xion?" he asked the two.

"Haven't seen her today," Roxas replied.

"Me neither," Kirihax said.

Axel sat down next to them. "Oh well."

"Axel..." Kirihax looked at Axel. "Is there anything you couldn't bear to lose?"

"Anything I couldn't bear to lose?" Axel looked confused. "What's that about?"

"Well, we met someone today who had something like that," Roxas explained. "This thing was so important to him he couldn't bear to lose it...and Xaldin said that was his weakness."

"So our only question..." Kirihax said. "Why don't we have anything like that?"

"It's because you two don't have hearts," Axel said.
