Arkyron strode the the streets of Traverse Town yet again. What was it about this place that drew him here? Memories of his sister, Crystal? Memories of the times he spent here with Hikari? Friends he met here? Hardly any of it seemed the primary cause... It had to be something more. Destiny perhaps? Calling him from his dim existence of previous times? Nevertheless, he was here. He was so consumed in thought that he didn't notice the rain. His light blonde hair darkened as it was soaked, and his tender, caring brown eyes showed the sorrow he felt. He could have easily pulled his hood up, but he didn't really care he was being soaked. The only things he still cared about were his few friends and Hikari... They were all he had left... His sister was dead, and his brother was attempting to kill him... So he sat down, rain pouring, on a bench, paying no heed to anything else. Everything seemed non-existant. Yet, this place was familiar... Therefore, it felt secure. Was that it? Was it just his natural longing for security? Again, he turned his thoughts from this deep state, taking in the scenery. The rain strangely relaxed him.

Arkyron wasn't expecting any visitors. He wasn't even expecting someone to say hello. Most people just walked by, not a care in the world. They didn't realize just how quickly life could be stripped of everything they cared about... Arkyron simply ignored the newcomers, still lost in thought.

"Do you see this rain? The number of drops is small compared to the tears I've shed," Arkyron said, still not looking either of the strangers in the eyes. "The number still is small compared to that of blood I've seen... Blood of innocents... Blood of people I cared about... Blood of people I loved... You can't begin to comprehend the sense of loss I feel... Everyone I've ever cared about... They're either dead, or missing... Most are dead..."

"Maybe so, but the pain I feel... All of this because of who I am... Everyone I cared about who's dead... It's because... I'm a keybearer," Arkyron retorted. "If I hadn't been chosen as a keybearer, they would still be here! They died... because I was a coward... I hid from who I was... And now, I'm not even sure who that is anymore... What kind of person am I that I could stand idle while I watched my own sister slaughtered!? Why would the keyblade choose someone like me? It doesn't make sense..."

Arkyron just took in her words. She didn't even know him, yet she was being almost unbelievably kind. "You... You have an even greater light in you than you think... I can feel it..." he said, almost out of the blue. "Don't let anyone suppress it. That might deprive the universe of a truly good thing..." At that, the sorrow in his eyes faded, but his expression was still serious, and somewhat cold.

At that, Arkyron smiled for the first time since he'd seen Hikari. "I think you're right. I need to quit blaming myself and actually do something... It's pointless just sitting here, sulking... I think I'm going to walk around a bit first though. You're welcome to join me, if you'd like... er... I don't believe I've asked your name," Arkyron said, slightly embarraressed that he'd been talking to someone without bothering to know their name.

"Well, Shoku, Darius, thank you for listening to me... I'm sorry you had to meet me under such circumstances... Though I got revenge for my sister, her death still leaves some emotional wounds, as you've probably realized... I hope you'll forgive me for that. I probably haven't seemed like it, but I'm normally far more cheery than this," he said, still smiling. Then, he finally noticed the rain and put the hood of his Organization Twilight jacket over his head. "Wow... I'm a bit slow today," he joked.

"Very well then," Arkyron replied smiling. His expression then showed his surprise when he saw her transform, as he hadn't been paying attention earlier. "You sure your feathers won't get too wet to fly in this form?" he asked.

"That sounds rather unpleasant..." Arkyron replied, an awkward look on his face. He walked on for a little while, then had a thought. "Just out of curiosity, are you only able to transform between a crow and a human?" he asked.

Arkyron just nodded in understanding, then laughed when she yawned. "I've never heard a bird yawn before," he said, half-teasing, but also being serious.

"Ah, that explains it," Arkyron said, smiling and laughing. He walked a ways further, and was starting to feel something was wrong, though he wasn't exactly sure what... He then shifted his mind from it. "So, where are you from?" he asked.

"Oh, really?" Arkyron replied, somewhat surprised. "That must be difficult... Not having any idea about where you're from..." Then, Arkyron felt it again. What was it? It was something strong, that much was certain...

(sorry for the wait, my net keeps cutting out)
Arkyron stopped for a minute. The presence was close by. He reached out with the darkness, and tried to identify it, only to have his own mind pierced with the same darkness... The SAME darkness... He knew what it was now... It was his Nobody. "XAYNKROR, COME OUT!" he demanded, drawing his keyblades. "Shoku, stay on guard... I don't want you to get hurt... Or worse..." he said, concern in his eyes now.
Xaynkror stepped out from the shadows, giving a false applause. "Very good, you've grown stronger... Perhaps I can put that strength to the test?" he taunted, summoning his own keyblades, almost identical to Arkyron's. "Ah, who's your little birdie friend?" he asked, smiling devilishly, though he couldn't feel joy.

Xaynkror watched the girl transform in amazement. "That's quite the dandy trick," he taunted. "However... I"m afraid it won't be enough!" he shouted, summoning a fierce gale.
"Shoku, don't get caught in the twisters! Despite what it seems, they're far more dangerous than his keyblades!" Arkyron warned. Then, he turned his attention back to Xaynkror, watching warily.
Xaynkror then sent a twister flying towards each of them, hoping to end the fight quickly. Rather than dodging however, Arkyron retaliated with a dark energy blast, negating the twister heading towards him.

At that, Arkyron let out a chuckle. She was smarter than he gave her credit for. She didn't just know about her abilities, she knew how to use them to the utmost potential. Then, he shot another energy blast at Xaynkror, knocking him out of the center of the gale. "Now he's vulnerable," Arkyron said, trying to rush Xaynkror before the Nobody could defend himself. Yet, Xaynkror was quicker than he expected. Not only did Xaynkror react in time to block, but he also countered, sending Arkyron flying into a wall. "Fool," Xaynkror muttered, closing in on Arkyron.

Xaynkror was easily caught off guard by Shoku. She had far more strength than he'd assumed... He couldn't underestimate her again... It could become lethal... At that, he focused his attack on her. Yet, he quickly found this didn't work, as Arkyron sent him flying face first into the ground. "Gah... It's no good... Fine... I'll leave you be... for now..." he muttered, opening a dark portal and fleeing.
"He's.... He's gone..." Arkyron struggled to get out, barely catching his breath.

(it's fine, lol. Oh, and sorry for the wait on my responses... my net's still buggy...)
"Yeah, I think so..." Arkyron said, getting up. He had a few cuts and bruises, but nothing major. "That could've turned out alot worse... It's a good thing I had you here to back me up," he said smiling. "Despite your appearance, you're very strong... It even took me by surprise."

"Sounds good to me," Arkyron said, smiling. "I've got munny too, so we should be covered. But... um... Where exactly are we?" he asked, noticing where they were now. The battle had them ending up in a dark alley, where almost nothing was visible.

Arkyron was surprised. "Well... You sure know your way around here well," he said, letting out a slight chuckle. "So, what'll you have? I'll probably just get some sushi or something." (gah, shortness... I can't think of much else to put. OOC, cool KHII FM vid I found www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz-eTaRm7YM)

"Sounds good!" Arkyron responded, satisfied. He then told their orders to the waitor, and just waited on the food. "So, Shoku... How exactly did you come by your powers? It's not exactly like people just wake up one morning and can shape-shift... Or in my case, manipulate wind..." he asked, only whispering the part about his powers.
