Chapter III: New life?
???
'Where am I?' Was the first thought that left my mind when I saw where I was. It was pitch black. Nothing but darkness. I started to feel like I was somehow falling, didn't know how, at the time didn't really care. I was falling for an undetermined amount of time. Suddenly I was slowing down and landing on something solid. I landed upright and at first there seemed to be nothing there. As soon as I took a step forward, a bight light appeared out of nowhere. I shielded my eyes for the time it took to die down. As soon as it did I saw what I was standing on.
It was a wide platform that was almost entirely white. There were spots that where not white. There were the pictures of my two lost friends. Both had spiky hair, one of them was red, the other was a blond. Fond memories of those two started to come to mind.
'Hey (????). You still remember how you used to be like?'
'What, why would you ask me that? Obviously I remember! I was like a zombie!'
'Relax (????), we were all zombie like when we were first found. It's no biggie!'
'Easy for you to say! I was like that for nearly two weeks! You do still have it memorized, right (????)?'
'Hey! That's my catchfrace! Get your own!'
'Ow, hey! Have mercy on my head! No nuggies! Stop!'
'Not letting you go that easily!'
'Come on, you have tormented (????) enough. Let him go.'
'Fine, fine. Next time you wont get off so easily!'
'Dearly noted. Hey! Who want's ice-cream!?'
'Whoa. You brought them?'
'Yeah? Is it so hard to believe?'
'Yeah. You usually come to us if you ever wanted anything!'
'Oh shut up. It's not like I'm some sort of baby!'
'You kinda were.'
'Seriously (????)! Not you too! And after I went through all this trouble to get this, you still treat me like I'm some sort of child!'
'Come now. We knew you could do it! You finally grew up!'
'Oh haha, very funny (????). I don't always have to rely on you and (????)! You should have seen me on my last mission!'
'What, were you that bad?'
'What? No! I did amazingly! I even got a bonus for it! You won't believe how much munny I got from it.
'Well you get munny, (????) here get's hearts.'
'Yeah yeah, I know. My missions are not as important as (????) missions, but our missions still let us get what we want! Like ice-cream!
'Yeah, but I do sometimes get munny bonuses from my mission, be it from collecting it or getting it after the mission.'
'Oh don't you dare! I'll have you know that I try my very hardest to get my missions done! All you have to do is swing that oversized key!'
'Hey! It's much harder than it looks!'
'Come on, quit bickering before the ice-cream melts.'
'Sure, mister 'Got it memorizes', I'll kindly comply.'
'Oh yeah? You want to go?'
'After the ice-cream, please.'
'Those days used to be the norm. *sigh* Why did you to have to go? Roxas? Axel?' Suddenly, there was a tall man that had a dark cloak like mine.
"Who are you!? What are you doing here?" I ask as I summon my... 'Keyblade!? How do I have one? How did I even get one!?'
"Your questions will be answered in due time, my dear Xuku. All in due time," Said the man in front of me. I looked at him with extreme suspicion.
"How do you know my name?" I asked.
"I know, because we have known each other for a long time. You just, forgot," He(?) said. I started to look at him(?) questionably.
"How could I have just forgotten someone, if I have spent time enough to become your friend? That just doesn't make any sense!" I exclaimed. He(?) was starting to look more and more like a female than a male.
"I don't know. The way it was supposed to work was that all who met me forgot me after I was destroyed. You must have had some part of your memory keep a hold of me. That is how I'm still able to talk to you" As she(?) said that, another picture appeared on the platform, although it had its hood on, so I couldn't make who it was.
"Well now. I't seems that your heart also remember me, somewhat," She said in a curious tone.
"What? I don't have a heart! A Nobody can not have a heart! So, how can I have a heart!?" I questioned the figure. She seamed to chuckle.
"You will soon find that you do indeed have, a heart," As soon as she said that, the world started to crack. Soon the platform shattered into pieces.
"You have a new chance at life. Don't waste it!"

Canterlot High
Nursery
I woke up with a start. As soon as I opened my eyes, I shot into a sitting position. I was panting like crazy. As soon as I sat up, I started to get out of bed. As I did that, I noticed that my cloak was hanging on the wall. I walked over to it and started to put it on. As I did that, the door to the nursery opened. I saw someone coming through. It was a woman. She had white skin with red hair and a nurses outfit. I assumed that this was who was taking care of me when I was here. She saw that I was up and about.
"Oh my! Your awake!" She exclaimed as she came to me. "How are you feeling? You aren't hurting anywhere?"
"Hey hey! Calm down! I'm fine, just a little sore," I explained as she calmed down.
"Well at least you are okay. Well, now that you are awake, we can get you acquainted with the principals!" She said as she started to drag me out.
"Hey wait! I still need to check something before we go anywhere!" I said as she stopped dragging me. "Thank you. Now."
I started to check my coat pockets for a few specific items. They were still where they should be. I let out a sigh that I didn't know that I was holding.
'Thank fuck they didn't take them. I seriously would have killed them if they took them,' I though.
"Okay we can go now. No need to drag me this time," I said. As soon as I got the words out we started for the halls. As we walked to the principals office, I saw that people were staring at me. I even heard a few whispers.
"Who is he?"
"What's he doing here?"
"I hope he isn't one of those evil people that have been appearing here."
I ignored them and continued the walk. After a few minutes, we arrived at a pair of double doors. She motioned at the one that was closer to the left.
"This is the main principals office. Principal Celestia should be in there with Vice-Principal Luna. They are expecting you," She explained.
"Thanks. Oh, I never got your name."
"Oh, sorry. My name is Nurse Redheart," She answered.
"That's a nice name. Mine is Xuku," I reply as I when through the doors. As soon as I went through the doors I saw the office. It was nicely decorated with white wallpapers, a bookshelf on both of the walls behind me and in front of me. There also was a wooden desk. The one sitting at the desk took notice of me and gestured at one of the chairs in front of the desk.
"Ah. There you are. Please, take a seat," She said in a motherly voice. I did as she asked and sat at a chair in front of the desk. She looked like she was deep in thought.
"Um, excuse me, but are you okay?" I asked in concern. I hope I didn't make the wrong impression.
"Oh, it's nothing. My name is Celestia and this here is my sister, Luna," She said as she gestured at herself and the woman standing next to her. She had dark blue skin and looked like she was all about the night. I chuckled a little. Why? Because I preferred the night as well.
"And what is so funny?" Luna asked.
"Oh nothing. It's just that you look like a person who enjoys the night just like me," I explained. She seamed surprised at that.
"Well, anyway, we are here to discus what you are doing here. First, I would like to hear your name," Celestia interjected.
"Oh well, sure. My name is Xuku, unusual, I know. As for what I'm here for... Let's say I want a new life," I explained as I didn't want to reveal where I was from or what happened to me... At least not yet.
"And why is that?" Luna asked.
"Well... All I can really say is that... from where I'm from... All my other family and friends are... gone," I said while looking away. They gasped in surprise.
"Well... Do you have a home to go to, at least?" Luna asked again.
"No, not really. If I wasn't on the run from the fuckers, I'd probably have gotten a house already" I whispered the last part.
"What was that?" Celestia asked.
"Nothing. Just that I don't really have a house to go to," I said.
"Well, would you like to stay at my place?" I turned to look at who was talking. It was that Sunset girl from the other night. "That is if its okay with you."
"Well. It is fine, but why would you offer your place to me when you don't even know me?" I questioned. She gave as best an answer I could have hoped.
"Well, it's just that I know the feeling of being alone. I just felt like you didn't need to feel it like I did once."
I considered it a moment. 'She is kind enough to let me stay at her house even though I could be a threat.
Well, it's not like I have anywhere else to go. Might as well...'
"Okay. I'll accept your kind offer. Although you didn't need to, I appreciate it," I said with a "smile" on my face.
"Well, it would seem that this meeting is concluded. You may go with Sunset to your new home. And Sunset, you may have the rest of the day off to show Xuku here to your house and to keep him company," She said with a little smirk. Sunset had a sight blush on her face.
"W-well, w-we should g-get going t-then," She stuttered as she started to walk away as I followed behind.
"H-hey! Wait for me!" I said as she already was at the stairs. Both of the principals laughed at this. After that, they went on with their duties. It was going to be a long day for Xuku and Sunset.
