The Shadow of Light (Kingdom Hearts) (Discontinued)

*~Chapter One~*

A/N: Hey everybody, I hope you like my story!  The music on the side is what I think would be playing if this were actually in the game and the pics are of the new members and their somebodies because except for Akari and Eri they probably wont be mentioned. Oh and in the pic of the new members Kaxsimi and Misaki are switched.  Hope you like it ;D

One thing I learned about life is that the good times never seem to last. For me the good times were when it was just me and Roxas. We would sit up on the clock tower together, eating ice cream and watching the sunset. He made me feel like I actually had a heart. But those times are long gone. Roxas is long gone. Time went by and after being re-birthed, the Organization began to thrive. We gained several new members. The new number XIII: Rixe, The Invisible Assailant. Number XIV: Ixzo, The Solitary Executioner. And number XV: Kaxsimi, The Subtle Archer. None of them made me feel the same way Roxas did. That is until I met number XVI. The Disguised Emissary. She was like Roxas in every way. From the day we found her I knew she was special. She made me feel real. But that day was a long time ago. 77 days to be exact. And somewhere in that time, she changed. Too much like Roxas I guess. But maybe I should start from the beginning of her story. The story of Xiarka. Oh, and my name? It's Axel. That's A-X-E-L. Got it memorized?

 *~The Story of Xiarka~*

       (Xiarka's P.O.V.)

A scattered dream that's like a far off memory... 

       A far off memory that's like a scattered dream...

                                              I wanna like the pieces up--

                                                                   Yours, and mine...

The words echoed loudly in my mind as I dragged myself through the woods. Rain pelted my body, soaking through my clothes. The hood over my head was no longer effective.  Thunder rumbled overhead and lightning lit the dark sky. I had been walking for hours, not even knowing where to go. I couldn't remember anything except for a strange, yet familiar name. Akari. Questions swirled in my mind. Where was I? Who was I? Who was Akari? Why can't I remember anything?

Finally I spotted a clearing up ahead. I walked into the clearing and took a quick look around before bowing my head again to avoid the rain. A huge mansion loomed overhead. It was blocked off by a tall iron gate. 

I came all this way for a mansion that I can't even get into? 

Suddenly my legs gave way underneath me. I sat on my legs and buried my face in my hands. Tears spilled out of my eyes. I needed some answers! 

"Who am I!?" I screamed to the sky, though my voice sounded faint and scratchy from lack of use. 

"You seek answers." My ears twitched at the sound of the deep voice in front of me. I looked up to see a man in a black cloak coming towards me. A hood covered his face so I couldn't see what he looked like. I wanted to ask who he was, but I found myself suddenly unable to speak. 

The man looked down at me now and I could just barely see the slight glow of a pair of orangeish-yellow eyes behind his hood. With a wave of his hand, a bunch of glowing blue letters appeared. They spelled out a name. The name that had been in my mind since I had woken up in the forest. Akari. 

"I can give you purpose." The man said. With another wave of his hand, the letters began to swirl around me, bringing me to my feet in the process. Suddenly they stopped in front of me, now in a completely different order then when they had started, and a huge golden X appeared in front of them.
