Hanku was inside the libary, reading one of the old books that it had to offer. It told minor information that Hanku didn't really need to know, but Hanku couldn't really find anything else to do. He looked up at the ceiling for a moment, his thoughts now on a different mind set. It was amazing to Hanku that he could stay in this place after what he experienced in this castle. So many things had happened here, both good and bad.
Hanku shrugged as he went back into his reading. It was a perfect place to read, since no one came in here; not unless they were explorers or crazy. The castle was still infested with heartless, but none of them came into the libary, for some reason. It was one of those few spots that was anti-heartless. Hanku got up from his seat and took the book with him. He placed the book back to where he first found it, then began searching for another book. To him, this was his idea of 'killing' time.

Hanku was about to reach for a book, but something held him back as he looked around. He couldn't help but feel that someone or something else was somewhere. Of course, Hanku passed it off as his imagination. He shrugged and picked up the book that he was about to reach for. He walked off from the shelf and started to read the book as he walked. However, he stopped and looked around, quickly closing the book with one hand. Hanku had heard some noise, not to far from here. His senses hightened, like any normal person would whenever they have a feeling of panic in them.
Hanku grabbed a blue sphere from a pouch that he carried around inside his pocket, and concealed it until he knew what or who was inside here. Then, Hanku heard a voice of girl. By the tone and what the girl said, Hanku guessed that this person wasn't harmful. His tension eased up a bit as he put the sphere into his pocket again.
He waited for the girl to see him as he began to walk back to the table. However, she came a bit sooner than he expected. Hanku took a glance at the girl. He thought that she looked normal, until he spotted something of white color. Hanku slightly tilted his head to see wings on the girl's back; Something that wasn't normal for a person.
Hanku turned his attention back to the girl as she talked to him. He couldn't blame the her for not realizing that he was in the libary. After all, this was a place most people didn't come to now a days. She introduce herself as Hana-Hari, but she also said that he could call her Hari. Hanku gave her a simple introduction as he said, "........Hanku......." He paused a little moment, before asking Hari, ".......What are you doing here?......."

Hanku had full sight of her angelic wings when she gave him a greeted bow. It wasn't the the first time he had someone with wings on their back, but it was still something surprising. Hanku had always thought that someone with wings on their back meant that they had some sort of unique power that separated all of them from the rest.Hanku thought at first, that he wouldn't be able to get along with Hari. Then again, most of the friends he has been friends with are a talkative type, which was unusual for his personality.
After Hari gave him an answer to his question, he sort of cocked an eye-brow with his head tilted back. It wasn't like it was wrong for her to look for any information about her world, but Hanku doubted that she would find information in this library. Half of the books were novels, while some were research about the heartless and darkness. And a few were about using techniques, like magic, based on what Hanku has read in this place.
Hanku then noticed a different look on Hari's face, which was followed by a sentence. Hanku nodded in disagreement as he said to her, "....You're not trespassing......So many people had already came here before you did......" Hanku then told her, ".....I doubt that you'll find something anything about your world in this place......."
Hanku could be a little harsh on people, making them doubt themselves and bring negative attention to himself. But he only came out this way because he was left alone literally half of his life time, along with his a bad history in his final moments of being in his old world.
Hanku couldn't help but think about his old world, after hearing Hari's explanation. He knew that it was impossible to bring it back, but he had always hope that he would see it one more time. He had too many memories of his world not to forget it. Hanku looked off at the direction where he put the book that his parents gave him; it was one of the few things that he had left of his old world, along with a few charms that he kept as memento now. He shooked his head a bit before looking back at Hari, then started to walked towards the table.

Hanku had noticed the expression on Hari's face when he said that she probably won't find anything here. At first, he really didn't care, but then he noticed that she looked away. Hanku had already hurt so many feelings over the past couple of years that he began to socialize, that he already knew how people's reaction were going to be. Hanku already knew that he dwindle her hopes, but he didn't realize how much it was going to hurt her. Hanku sighed a little bit, only loud enough for only him to hear, expecting some sort of crying from Hari. After that Hanku had reached the table, he looked behind him to see Hari again. The next thing she did sort of surprised him.
Hari thanked him and gave him another bow. Hanku was a little confused why she did it, but his confusion didn't show on his face; it was still as blank since he met her. Then she began to why she thanked him, which confused him even more. Hanku only nodded at her as he said,".....You don't have thank me...." Hanku was never the one to gloat about....anything. He kept almost everything to himself, and rarely told about his old life.
For some reason or another, Hanku wanted to know more about Hari's world. He didn't know why, but there was just a feeling inside him that made a connection with Hari, even if it was a little connection. Like Hanku, Hari was out of her world without any clue about it. However, Hanku had already given up his searches, considering that the last thing he remembered of it was the heartless over running the whole land. After reading the books in this library, Hanku pretty much guessed that his world was destroyed by the heartless.
Hanku placed the book on the table and sat down on one of the chairs. Shortly after, Hanku began to ask Hari. "......How was your old like?......" he asked as he looked up to her. Hanku knew that she would of come back at him with the same question, but he didn't mind telling now. Since Hanku made a small connection with her, he was willing to let out a small amount of information to her about his world.

(( I don't mind.^^ You can join, Myth)) Hanku nodded a 'no' to her question. There was a time where he would of taken credit.....but that was a long time ago, when he still was part of his world. It has been 3 years since his world was destroyed, but it felt like a lifetime for Hanku. Hanku looked at Hari as she answered his question. Hanku only gave a small nod as she finished her sentences. Then, she came back with a question of her own. Hanku shurgged a bit at the question; he just had an urge to ask, for some reason or another. Hanku said to Hari, with a rather dull tone in his voice, ".....Just curious....." Hanku had a reason for asking her, and it started to become more clear to him; Hari just sort of reminded of Hanku, in a way. He still didn't have a clear explaination, which was why he came up with his answer. Hanku was about to say something as he opened his mouth a little bit, until another person appeared. It was another woman. She asked them if something was wrong. Hari had already answered her. Hanku shortly said,"......We're fine....." In a quick moment, Hanku questioned the new person. "......Who are you?....." he asked. Even though this castle was open to everyone, if they were brave enough to come here, Hanku still considered it....his home. After all, this is where he ended up after his world was destroyed. Hanku was still sitting down, but his attention was no longer with Hari. He was now focus with this other person. However, he still remembered that Hari was still there, and his interset about her world. ((Gah, short post.>.< for this thread anyway. ))

Hanku simply stated to Remika, ".....Hanku.....", much like how he introduce himself to Hari. Hanku rarely talked to anyone, so introducing himself was something he was not use to. It made him sound like he was one of those 'dim bulbs', but he was very far from that. After he landed in this castle, he had spent most of his time reading these books inside this library. Because reading didn't require to communicate, Hanku slowly, but surely became more and more silent with himself until the point where he is now.
Hanku heard that Remika was a scholar and also studied Nobodies. Nobodies....Hanku never thought he would heard that word again. His last encounter with a nobody lead him to a long and very tiring journey. Not only that, but it made Hanku realize his powers were not as strong as he thought because of a fight with another nobody in that journey. After he had finished with that journey, he had hoped that he would never hear someone blurt out 'nobody'. Hanku looked over at Hari when she asked what Nobodies were.
Hanku answered that question for her. ".....It is what gets left behind after the heartless steals a heart from a being....." Hanku explained. Hanku knew about this only because of Merlin, who was living in Traverse Town when he told Hanku and another friend of his about it.
Hanku stood up as he grabbed the book he was about to read. He began to walk off to where he picked it up in the first place. It seemed like their conversation was going to be a long one, especially with Remika now joining.

As Hanku placed his book back where he had found it, he couldn't help but over-hear Hari's and Remika's conversation. He heard Hari saying something about nobodies. Hanku never realized that they existed either, and he thought that he knew everything about heartless, until his recent journey. It made him realize that he had much more to learn about everything, which made Hanku have a slight desire to know about them. However, joining into the darkness to know about it was out of the question; that was the last thing Hanku ever wanted to do, after what he experienced in the past 4 years.
He heard Remika asking Hari what she was doing here, then Hari explained. Hanku looked back as Hari's sentence railed off. He was the reason why Hari felt disappointed, so Hanku felt slightly bad for her. It wasn't like him to be sympatheic to someone, but Hari was too much off a nice-girl, even Hanku had slight emotion for her.
Hanku glanced over to where he put a certain book at. There was so much to learn inside that book that Hanku haven't seen yet. The book gave a breif history of what his old world was like, then it went on to explain different powers from the 4 elements in his world. It was forbidden to learn any other technique besides your own element, yet they made this book. So Hanku was a little curious why they made this book. He was even more curious on how his parents got the book, but he knew now that he can't ask them anymore.
Hanku looked back at Hari's and Remika's direction as Hari said she wanted to explore this castle. Hanku thought that he might as well go along with her; It wasn't like he had anything else to do. Hanku walked back over to Hari and Remika. As he arrived he said to Hari,".......I'll come with you......There are still heartless running around in this castle and I'll be........." Hanku trailed off, almost regretting what he was about to say. It wasn't like him to be this, but he burlted his final sentence out. "........worried, if the heartless attack you....." Hanku didn't show it, but he was exretmely embrassed saying this. He didn't know why, but there was something about Hari that made him act different.....He couldn't quite tell what it was, but he didn't want to admit it right now, so he let the thought go as he waited for what Remika had to say.

Hanku just looked off into another direction when Hari mentioned his name. It wasn't like him to be this way; He usually had a look that look blank and his eyes were always looking to what was in front, almost like a fear-less expression. Yet, all of that change by a simple girl like Hana-Hari. Hanku tried to get his thoughts back on track as he shook his head a little.
He heard that Remika was coming along as well. Her help wasn't really needed; Hanku felt like he could of taken the heartless by himself. He had done it for some time. But he didn't mention anything about it. He thought that it would be a waste to receive someone else's help. Hanku just nodded at Remika, agreeing that she would come with them.
Hanku noticed that Hari was making a little pose, excited that both him and Remika was coming with her. He sighed under his breath, feeling some-what of an annoyance towards Hari. However, he didn't mind it at all now. Hanku then noticed that he was making eye contact with Hari and she gave him a smile. Hanku tilted his head to a complete direction, with his eyes looking farther away from Hari. Hanku felt that if he looked directly at Hari, he wouldn't be able to act....normal. At least what was normal for him.
Hanku looked at Remika, trying to get his attention somewhere else. Hanku said to both of them,"......I can be a guidance for you......" Hanku didn't want to mention that he had lived in this castle for about 2 years; There was no need to. Hanku simply stated his sentence that he wanted to say. Hanku turned around and started walking out the library, thinking that Remika and Hari would follow him. He thought that he didn't need to voice out to follow him.

((Yeah, Myth.^_^ everyone gets writer's block from time to time.))
Hanku slightly looked back at the two when they were discussing about him guiding the group. Hanku didn't have any hesitation as he continued to walk forward; he felt that he knew the area of this castle better than both of them.
Hanku glanced back at the same shelf where his book was. For some reason, he was feeling slightly over-protective about it. He guessed it was because of Remika and Hari being here. It was rare for Hanku to meet someone in this library, let alone talking to any of them. Hanku looked back into his front direction again as he opened the door.
Hanku had opened the door only for himself, forgetting about Remika and Hari. Actually, he still remembered that they were there, but he just didn't care; He always acted like this and that wasn't going to change anytime soon. At least, that's what he thought. Hanku still walked, not really waiting for the both of them. He consider stopping once he was in the entrance of where the elevator was.

Hanku continued walking until he was in front of the door to the elevator. Once there, he stopped walking so that Hari and Remika could catch up. He was looking at the door before he heard Hari calling out his name again. He looked back as she finally caught up with him. Hanku looked back at Remika for a quick moment, to see how far she was, then he looked back at Hari.
Hanku shrugged at the first sentence that Hari said. After being in this castle so many times, it was kind of hard for Hanku to get lost in this place. And if he ever did get lost in this place, he knew how to teleport out of the castle, or at least to the library or the Great Crest area; Those were the only two places that Hanku was most comfortable at.
Then, he heard Hari asking him a question. It was a sort of general question, so Hanku answered it. ".....I consider this castle to be my home.....", he said. Then, he added, "......I've been coming to this castle for a couple of years now....." If Hanku ever needed someplace to stay in without a crowd, this castle was the perfect spot. Not only that, but this place had all his mementos, so he always had to come this place; Hanku never consider movig them into another world, simply because that this was the first world he ended up in.
((writer's block:P))

Hanku shrugged again to answer Hari's question; That was his response most of the time. He really didn't care if people consider it an answer or not.
Hanku heard what Remika had said, which put him into some-what of a bad mood. However, it only got worse as Hari went on complementing this castle. Just because he lived in this castle, didn't mean he really enjoyed it, especially what he went through in recent years. The thing that was keeping him here was the book and mementos. Hanku didn't want to bother searching for another spot to hide them; this castle was good enough.
Hanku glanced back at Hari, and noticed that she was looking at him again, this time with an expression of concern. He guessed that she wanted to see if she had said the right thing, which neither of them did. Hanku didn't show any expression as he nodded his head, tring to get back to the task at hand; guide them around the castle. Hanku said,".....We should go before the heartless start coming...." as he began to walk into the elevator room.

As they walked, Hanku thought about the recent situation. He knew Hari and Remika didn't mean to say anything offensive, but it still something that he wasn't exactly comfortable with. Hanku felt that he came off the wrong way after their little conversation, but he wasn't going to apologize just yet; He had other thoughts going into his mind now. When they were in the elevator room, it looked like something out of puzzle maze; there were big strings going across the room, going into these big holes. In front of them, was a dome-shaped elevator. It wasn't exactly big, nor safe, but it was a perfect fit for the three of them.
Hanku continued to think, remaining silent as he heard Remika asking Hari if she was alright. Now that he thought about it, Hari has been a little quiet since he mentioned to keep going. He guessed that Hari was feeling a little bad for what she had said. Of course, Hanku wanted to cover it up. He looked back at Hari as the elevator began to move. He simply said to Hari and Remika, ".....Don't worry about it......" Hanku knew that he sounded sort of random, but he guessed that Remika and Hari were silent because they felt like they hurt his feelings.
For an elevator that was runned only by string, it moved rather fast and smooth. This place probably had some advanced technology, before the heartless took over the castle. Even Hanku didn't know much about the past of this world, even after he read the books in the library. Hanku thought that the heartless probably shredded them documents of it. But that was his guess.
Hanku had a lot of memories in this place; both good and bad. And all of them involved with the same two people; Colleen and Red. It was in the Great Crest area where he fought a battle that almost killed him....twice. Not only that, but this castle is where Red and his brother died, who caused so much problems for Hanku. Hanku wasn't involved with the two at first, but he got dragged into it by choice. It was probably the only time that Hanku showed off his loyalty to anyone in years.
At last, the elevator arrived to its designated spot. Hanku stepped out of the elevator and began to walk again. Hanku walked a bit slowly, now remembering that he had to guide Remika and Hari. He thought that they wanted to see some sights of the castle while they were walking. However, he also wanted to show them the Great Crest area; A room that Hanku was very fond of.

Hanku continued to guide them as he took lead. The room here was also like the other room, but it was less confusing. It only had a couple of strings, and there was only one elevator to use. Hanku looked back at Hari and Remika. They were still silent, but at least the tension between them began to dwindle. Hanku couldn't hold a grudge for long; not for something this small. Also, Hanku wasn't that type of person to get very angry. He always kept his expression emotionless; Neither smiling or frowning. People might consider him a heartless, but he was far from that.
The hallway lead to outside of the castle. A couple of years ago, you would of seen nothing but waterfalls. Now, A town replaced the bleak sight. From the castle, you could see how much the people rebuild the old city. It had a very-high sky view, letting you see just about anything in front. You could also see the heartless mark that is in front of the castle.
In front of the group, a giant elevator was waiting for them. It was huge enough to let over 10 people fit, and still have room to walk around. Hanku wasn't impressed by it; He could teleported from here to another spot in the castle in mere seconds. However, Remika and Hari were here as tourists. At least, that is what Hanku thought. Otherwise, they wouldn't be walking around this place. Surprisenly, no heartless came to ambush them. And Hanku hoped that it wouldn't happen; The last thing he wanted to fight was heartless. They were simply little, annoying pests to Hanku. Hanku stepped into the elevator and awaited for the two girls to come into it.
