Starry's Corner: Another Side, Another Story's going to be smut free for awhile. Why? Well, I guess you'll just have to read and find out! I guess one could say that this is where the real story begins, the previous three chapters were just building up to this and beyond. Confusion is inevitable, so read closely. Questions are a given, so ask away if needed. But most of all, enjoy the read.

Previously:

It was eerily silent when Sora looked over his shoulder, tilting his head upon seeing a black mass suspended in the middle of Paopu Island I hope this letter find you before it's too late... Frowning deeply, Sora stood, facing the odd, out-of-place portal.

There's something strange going on in the worlds. These...dark portals are appearing randomly. But, they appear to have no purpose, nor destination from what anyone can tell. (anyone whose gone through one; hasn't came back yet) I just want to forewarn you guys. BE CAREFUL!!

He wasn't sure why he did it, but he approached it as though an invisible string was pulling him along. He ignored his nobody's voice in his head, screaming at him to stay away.

Please...if a portal appears, don't go in it. Not until we know more about it. In the mean time, just go on normally. I don't think this is anything to worry about; but if something comes up, I'll let you know.

-Mickey

All warnings and voices disappeared from his head and heart as he stepped through the black portal and left his world behind.

Part VI

Sora was falling.
Falling through a darkness that seemed so familiar to him, but so damned different. How that could even be possible, he didn't know.
He was falling, falling, and falling...And, as he fell a strange pain bloomed in his chest. He couldn't explain it nor did he understand it as the pain grew and grew. Ripping, tearing...just plain painful. Heart wrenching. Like something was...suddenly missing from him. From his heart.
He would've cried out, had his voice not failed him. Only a single tear slipped down his pale cheek as he slipped into unconsciousness, the darkness engulfing him.

�Bring him back, Number VIII. One does not defect from the Organization.� The command was sharp and clear. Axel understood it easily. Once you joined Organization XIII, there was no leaving it. He had warned him, begged him not to go. But, he did. �And, if he refuses, destroy him.� That was the part he didn�t like. But, who was he to deny an order from the First? You didn�t turn your back on the Organization.
His search had led him back to Twilight Town. A town of happy memories for him and his best friend. A town he never thought he�d get to see again, but nothing was happy about his return.
He�d find him. And, somehow, he�d convince Sora to go back.
Because, Axel wasn�t sure if he could carry out his orders should Sora refuse to accompany him back to the Organization. He wasn�t sure if he had it in him to murder the one person who made him feel like his heart still existed on some far off level.

Sora wasn�t sure exactly when he came to, but he immediately recognized where he was. The Usual Place. In Twilight Town. But, how�d he got to Twilight Town...he didn�t know. The last thing he remember was being on Paopu Island with Roxas�back home on the Destiny Islands; worlds away.
He gave a wide yawn, pushing himself into a sitting position. He looked around the room, idly rubbing his head, noting the slight ache that rested just behind his eyes that seemed to wrap around his entire head. He wondered where Hayner, Pence, and Olette were and how they were doing. After all, it had been some time since he had last seen them.
Just as he was about to stand, the red flap over the entry moved revealing a brown haired girl, �Oh! H-hello!� She said, pushing a lock of hair behind her ear as her eyes darted around the room then she glanced over her shoulder for a moment before looking back at Sora.
�Hey, Olette!� He chirped, grinning broadly as he stood. But, the grin disappeared when he saw the confusion on the girl's features, �Um, how do you know my name?� She asked, twisting a strand of hair around her finger.
Sora blinked. And, he was at a loss of words and maybe he was as confused as the girl just across from him, �Because, I know you�� He said, frowning deeply, �I�m Sora�I�ve met you before.� He pointed out.
Olette shook her head slowly, �No�no, I don�t recall meeting you.� She said, dropping her hands to her sides before she sighed softly, �You said your name was Sora�?� She asked, tilting her head to the side, still standing in the door way, shifting her weight to her left leg, �I�m sorry, but I�ve never seen you before.� She said honestly.
Sora stared at the girl, and it took a moment for her words to sink in. Something...wasn't right. Sora wasn't sure what it was, but it just wasn't possible that Olette would forget about him so quickly. It had only been...a few months since he had last been to Twilight Town.
The girl shuffled around uncomfortably in the door way, biting on her bottom lip before offering Sora a hesitate smile, "So...I came here looking for one of my friends...Pence..."
But, before she could finish her sentence, Sora shot up, his smile broad and his eyes hopeful "Pence!" He all but shouted at the girl, causing her to jump in surprise, "I know him too! A-and Hayner!"
With widened eyes, Olette nodded quickly, "O-okay!" She said, her voice high pitched as she held her hands in front of her, "Why don't I go and find them, hm? Then we can see if they know you too."
Sora smiled. Widely. And, for some reason, Olette visibly relaxed (...there's something...familiar about his smile...), "That's a great idea, Olette!" He said, pumping his fist in the air before he walked over to the entrance and the brown headed girl that stood before it, "I'm sure they'll remember me."

As it turned out Hayner and Pence did not remember Sora. In fact, they had been just as confused as Olette had been. But, the girl was quick to reassure her two friends and soon they had insisted that Sora explore the town and see if maybe someone else had remembered him. Which would explain why Sora was wondering around the train station, staring wistfully off into the distance, wondering why no body could remember him, when he remembered all of them.
"There you are!"
The little brunet blinked, looking over his shoulder and his eyes widened dramatically, "Axel!?" He gasped, turning around to see the nobody that had died saving him.
"The one and only." The renegade Organization member replied, his lips curved into a smirk, "A-X-E-L, got it memorized?" He said before sighing heavily, his eyes turning serious, "I have orders to bring you back, Sora."
The said keyblader blinked, looking beyond confused. Hadn't he defeated the Organization? He definitely remembered defeating Xemnas with Riku and he remembered Axel sacrificing himself in Betwixt and Between. "Bring me...back?" He asked, looking up at the elder.
Axel nodded, "Oh yes. I told you that you can't run away from the Organization." He said, an almost sad look on his face, "I have orders to bring you back, using force if necessary."
"But, you're dead!" Sora exclaimed, staring at the nobody in shock, "A-and...the Organization is gone! I defeated them!"
The red headed nobody stared at Sora for a long moment before he burst out laughing, clutching his sides and he bent over, "Hey! It's not funny!" The brunet cried, his blue eyes narrowing as Axel laughed harder and harder, "I did...I really did defeat them..."
Still snickering, Axel straightened up, "I'm sorry to tell you, but Organization XIII is very much alive and well." He said, his lips curved into a smirk, "And, I'm alive and kicking, obviously."
Confusion clouded Sora's mind. Something...wasn't right here...something was amiss. He looked up at Axel, shaking his head, "N-no..."
"Yes."
Sora shook his head, his face determined, "No! I don't believe you!" He shouted, stalking towards the doors to the train station. Something was going on and there was one person he knew of that could tell him what it was.
"Hey, where're you going?" Axel called after Sora, following him with his eyes, "You won't get back to the Organization that way..."
"I'm not going to the Organization!" Sora called over his shoulder, looking back at the other, "I need answers and you don't know what you're talking about."
"I don't want to fight you, Sora!" Axel called after him, watching as he disappeared into the train station, "But, I will..." He said softly to himself, sighing heavily before he opened a black portal and disappeared into it.

Sora frowned deeply as he gazed around the quiet grounds of The Tower, he remembered, once upon a time coming here at the start of his own journey. How fitting it was that he'd end up back here. He gave a soft sigh, approaching the door.
He had only taken a few steps when the first heartless appeared with wispy black smoke and Sora's eyes widened drastically as the Keyblade materialized in his hand. A heartless... But, if Axel was still around...why wouldn't there still be heartless flitting about as well?
Something was going on...and Sora was determined to get to the bottom of it.
It only took moments for him to battle his way to the door of The Tower, the heartless kept appearing in waves. Even after he had gotten into The Tower and worked his way up to Yen Sid's study. Then finally, there was a break and he entered the study of the old magician Yen Sid.
The man was at his desk, and didn't even bother to look up as Sora lingered by the opened door, wondering if he had made the right choice by coming here, "Well, boy, don't dawdle by the door!" The elder man said, looking up at the brunet with stormy eyes, "There's much to discuss. Come in! Come in!"
Sora jumped, ripped from his thoughts by the magician's request and slowly he made his way into the study, chewing on his bottom lip as he tried to think of the best way to voice his troubles and worries, "Yen Sid...sir..." He started, but was soon interrupted.
"You're confused, aren't you? That's why you came? Seeking answers for the questions that plague you." Yen Sid said, finally setting down his feathered quill before looking up from his book, his ancient eyes locking onto the ocean blue before him, "There's something different about this world. Almost uneasy. It's not the same as you remember..."
Sora could only nod, "People...they don't remember me..." The little brunet started, trying to explain the uneasy feeling that inhabited him at that moment, but again, he was interrupted.
"People cannot be expected to remember something they've never seen." The old master pointed out cryptically, folding his long, pale fingers together as he rested his elbows against the book on his desk.
"N-never seen?!" Sora exclaimed, his voice squeaking in his shock as he shook his head violently, "No, no! I've been to Twilight Town! I've met those people! And, I defeated Organization XIII!" He all but cried, his hands clenching into fists at his sides.
He wasn't answered right away, instead, a curious smile spread over Yen Sid's face, "Maybe you have..." He voice was soft, and it was laced with belief, "...in your reality."
Sora's eyes widened, "My reality?" His voice was soft and confused, then his eyes widened drastically and he was silent for a moment. But, only for a moment as he hoped the old magician didn't mean what he thought he meant, "W-wha-what do you mean?" He asked slowly, his voice shaking and pleading as he started at the old man across from him.
"You stepped through a portal, a remnant of dark magic left over by your Organization, you stepped through it and was brought here. To our reality." The old man explained gently, his hands unclasping themselves, picking up the quill again as the realization of the situation dawn upon Sora's face.
"Your reality..." Sora replied, still wide-eyed, "I'm...not in my world anymore...any of my worlds..." He said in a shocked awe, his voice raked with disbelief because what the magician had said was something beyond hard to believe.
"Exactly." The old master said, his lips curved into a grin as he returned his attention to the large text before him, "This is merely a carbon copy of your world, though it appears it exhibits a few minor, yet obvious differences within it." He said, his quill moving briskly across the page.
Sora frowned, still processing the knowledge of being in a world that was like his own, but somehow not his own, "What differences...?" He asked, but Yen Sid wasn't always so forthcoming with his answers, so it was to no surprise when that same curious grin found it's way back on the magician's face.
"That, I'm afraid, is something you'll have to figure out for yourself." Yen Sid answered, glancing up at the teenager, his quill paused on the page, "Along with a way to get back home."

Sora had made his way back to Twilight Town, still in shock from what the wise old magician had told him. But, even though it was hard to belief, it explained so much. Especially why no one could seem to remember him. The thing that bothered him the most was that he was completely on his own in finding a way to return back to his world.
He sighed heavily. He had been home for such a short time too. And, yet again, he found himself on another adventure. But, this time, he was completely alone. It was a painful thought. He missed his friends�he missed Roxas�
And, that was when he noticed the dull ache that resided in his heart. The hole that was once occupied by his nobody and lover. Had the portal killed him? Sora hoped not as he tried speaking to his nobody. But, he didn't receive an answer and something deep down on the inside told him that he never would again.
The pain of that realization hit him in a wave. Crashing down on him like the waves of the Destiny Islands. He leaned heavily against a wall, sliding down it as he gazed out over the expanse of the Tram Commune. His eyes welled with tears before finally overflowing.
There was no hiding from it. No other way to explain it. No way of lessening the pain. Roxas was dead. And, he wasn't coming back.
Sora's eyes clenched shut and he fought to maintain control over himself, he didn't know why, but for some reason, he felt like he shouldn't be crying. Roxas wouldn't want that. With a heavy sigh, he turned his head and there in the wall he saw a crack. A huge crack that opened into a hole.
Which led to a small forest and through that forest was a haunted mansion. A haunted mansion that had brought Sora to another dimension. Maybe�.just maybe it could bring him home.
He had already lost Roxas, he didn't want to lose his chance at going home and seeing his friends again too.

The Haunted Mansion; it was exactly as Sora had remembered it in his own reality. Down to the ancient gate that was slightly ajar, to the ruins of columns and pillars that littered the front yard. The only difference was that this time, Sora knew what was hidden within the house. It had been the door to The World That Never Was. And, maybe�just maybe it was a way he could get home.
He could only hope as he walked up to the front door, gently pushing it open and just mere moments later he was assaulted by his first Dusk. He gritted his teeth and was quick to defeat the room full of them, panting softly as his Keyblade disappeared from his grasp.
"Took you long enough."
The brunet blinked, looking up at the stair case. His blue eyes narrowed upon seeing the red headed Organization member he had thought was dead, "I was never apart of the Organization." Sora said, watching as Axel stepped down the stairs.
"Yes you were�Xemnas said you might forget." Axel said, his voice was confident and it was beginning to annoy Sora.
Sora frowned deeply, "I didn't forget anything." He insisted, his glare was hard and heated, "I'm not a nobody, I have a heart."
He felt it beating dully against his chest, supplying his body with life giving blood. But, what's more than that, he felt the pain that resonating with every beat. The pain of knowing that Roxas was no longer a part of him. The pain of knowing that he could very well be separated from his dearest friends. The pain of knowing that he might never get home.
"You have what the rest of us have. An illusion. An illusion of the feelings that a heart was responsible for." Axel said softly, stopping in front of Sora, "C'mon, you know that."
Sora snorted softly, brushing past the red head, "I know that you're wrong." And, he'd prove it. He walked up the main stairs and immediately headed to the White Room in order to get the picture of the markings he had to draw on the table in the library in order to open the secret passage to the lab.
Axel was silent as he followed the little brunet, and for that, Sora was thankful. Because, while he might like and even respect Axel, he was getting to the point where he was tempted to put him back where he belonged.
Finally, he reached the door and with no further hesitation, he pushed it open. And, what he saw behind that door forced a surprised cry out of his lips, "K-kairi?!"
