Twilight Town hadn't really changed much. It was still the same sky, the same buildings, the same people, everything looked the same. Nothing had changed much.
Maybe it had, but from her current location at the top of the clock tower, it all looked the same. Xion had managed to sneak away from the Organization, and was planning to return later and give the excuse that she'd been away on a mission. She hoped they would actually believe that...
...or maybe they wouldn't care. She was a stranger to them anyway.
The idea of returning was a bit gloomy. There wasn't really a good reason to stay anymore, and she knew it perfectly. If everyone had forgotten her, including her best friends, then what was the point? There was the risk that they could go after her and kill her, but she wasn't too worried about that.
But if she left, she had no idea of where she could head next...
Xion sighed lightly while thinking over all of that. She hadn't bought any ice cream. She wasn't really in the mood for that. She wanted to stay a little bit longer and just...enjoy the silence. Even now, after being dead, she hadn't really learned to socialize, and so she was sitting there in silence, where the voices of other people couldn't reach. It was nice...
...albeit a little lonely. That was the one part that she didn't really enjoy.
[OOC: ;-; sorry it's so lame!! I don't even know if the post made sense at all. T_T

"Twilight Town....quiet. Peaceful and dull with an eternal sunset. It's quite soothing, having the occasional break of my usual adventures in such a place. I tend to wonder if this is the kind of thing we face when we go away. A quiet, desolate paradise...
I shouldn't really be thinking of such things, but hey....what could you do or find in this urban wasteland?..."
Inku was wandering about the rooftops of the town, letting the usual breeze soothe him as he passes and hops from building to building. He had found an ice cream stand earlier, and was now carrying a bunch of sea salt ice cream bars, with three already melting in his mouth. The sugar happy knight came to land on the back of the clock tower, taking a breather as he spat out three wooden sticks and eyed each one. "Arg....no winner..."
He took a stroll around the edge of the tower, taking in three more bars. "These bars are so awesomely good...when the day comes that I swear off ice cream and candy,I'll never know..."
As he came to the clock's side, his eyes laid upon...a girl. A cute, black haired, blue eyed girl...and so Inku instantly blushed at her presence. He looked at himself, bars of ice cream in his arms and pockets, looking like a sugar-crazed idiot. Yet, he sighed and took his chances, moving in to eventually sit next to the girl, and still unknowing of the small, noticeable blush in his cheeks and his own nervousness. "Uh....h-hi there, cute miss...how are you?" he said, softly but loudly enough as he waited for a response...

Blue eyes lowered to her hands, which rested upon the black leather cloak and were wrapped in equally black gloves. Xion sighed a bit.
Just a few days ago she had been to an annual ball in a gorgeous castle, and she'd been surprised to find herself in a bright blue dress. She hadn't even recognized herself in the mirror. Such shame...it just made her think whether or not it would be a good idea to leave the Organization again. Life outside of it...seemed like a mistery to her, she'd been hanging around them too much. Then she'd left, and then she'd died. And then she was back. If that was how life was going to be always...
What a sad perspective.
Her reverie was broken when a voice snapped her into reality. She looked up and found herself facing a little rabbit that was holding a few bars of ice cream. She said nothing to him for a moment, and then she gave a small smile.
"Hello."
She then noticed he was blushing a bit. She was a bit curious, but let go of it. Instead her eyes wandered back to the sunset. "I have been better...but I'm not complaining..."she answered, thoughtfully, looking back down to her gloved hands.

Inku slipped out some of the unused bars and rested them in between himself and the girl, making up a small mountain of the stuff. He looked to her as she spoke and nodded."I see...um, m-my name is Inku Bunni...famed adventurer, knight of the king of Disney Castle and prince of coolness!" he said, laughing nervously and scratching the back of his head. "Dumb. So very dumb. You look like a total moron and she'll never notice you....then again, she did say hello..."
His ears lowered a bit, himself starting to lose confidense, but he let himself continue anyway. "I noticed you were here, all alone...and my mind said, I mean, "Why leave such a poor, beautiful woman like you to mope around without anyone to care for", and I was just in the neighborhood and....uh...."
His mind drew a short blank. His nervousness was at war with his eagerness to talk to her. He sighed and spoke again, hoping to make himself look more confident. "As you may notice, I travel to distant lands, tackle many deadly enemies with thy mighty sword and shield, and I protect the innocent and just, one and all!...As you'll likely know, I have many...uh...tales to tell, friends to reminisce on, my home and king to speak highly and lovingly of...and...and..."
He was just standing there, lost in his own little world for the moment. He was a little...ashamed of himself, speaking so highly of himself and never even leveling much with the girl, or possibly knowing how she's feeling at the moment. "Yep....I screwed up, didn't I?" He slowly plopped back down and spat out his latest bar, sighing deeply and looking over to her. "I....I look like an idiot, don't I?..."

Xion gave a weak smile and just...shook her head.
"I don't think so...you just need a bit more of confidence, that's it,"she answered. She had been able to tell from his rambling that he was nervous, and he'd only meant to appear as someone much more confident than he really was.
"So don't worry...my name is Xion by the way,"she added and smiled, tucking a small lock of her hair away from her eyes. She took half a glance at all the ice cream he had brought along with him and took a bar.
"...May I?"

"Oh, of course...", Inku said to Xion with a warm smile. "Im so sorry...I really am what I said I was, it's just...I get nervous at time around...." he quickly stopped himself, knowing that his next few choice of words, no matter how he tries to sneak around, may very well trigger a minefield of rage or humility towards the knight. He sighed deeply, nibbling into his ice cream. "Xion....that's a...much more beautiful and unique name than I'd imagine. It fits you..." he said, blushing again.
"So, may I ask....what is on your mind....it's okay, if you don't want to share, I understand," he last said to her, wanting to spark some interesting, bonding conversation...

Xion smiled and took a bar of ice cream, taking a bite out of it. It had been a while since she'd had one of those...it brought back a lot, and it made her even more nostalgic. It made her miss the old days...
"It's okay. I'm not very open myself,"she answered with a smile. Her gaze wandered back to the sky. How long had it really been? It felt like time hadn't passed. But considering how long it had taken her to gain her strenght back...it must have been a long time. Even now, she still felt too weak.
"I don't think I can talk about it..."She couldn't. Really. She'd have to say about the Organization and she was almost completely sure that it wasn't a good choice...
...though, Xemnas and Saïx were still gone.
"...do you know anything about the Organization XIII?"she asked...and immediately flinched. She was going to get into a lot of trouble.

"What do you know of the Organization XII?"
Inku's mind blanked out at the very mention of them. Nobodies... searching to use Kingdom Hearts for their own purposes. A nasty bunch that the rabbit would very much want to take on...someday. Yet, he had to be stronger. He wondered of how Xion came to know them, and went on to respond. "The Organization... nasty bunch of folks. The King have told me a bit of them and everything...I tend to wonder if I'd ever be able to take them on myself one day..."
Iku stared into the sunset, focusing on his thought. "Poor things...I wonder if there's ever any "good" Nobodies out there..." the knight said to Xion with a sigh. "Just another burden on these worlds that I, as a hero and a person, would very much love to help with...maybe have them see their errors and turn them good. Silly, I know, but it never hurts to dream..."
As he bit onto another bar of ice cream and shivered a bit at it's temperature. "Has it really been so long since I ever thought about the Nobodies?..."[/i]
Iku eyed the girl for the moment. He gave her a smile and a slight blush as he cleared his throat a bit. He twiddled his thumbs and thought, wondering if asking her the question would be right. Yet, he swallowed his nervousness and stared into her eyes deeply, going forward."...how did you come to know of them, if I may ask?"

Xion took slow bites of the ice cream as she listened carefully to Inku's words. Yeah, she did know all of that. It was a bit odd hearing it from someone else, though, someone whose point of view was entirely different.
They had no hearts and wanted to gain their own by completing Kingdom Hearts, but she did disagree when he said they were nasty. She didn't really think all of the thirteen were that bad. Axel and Roxas weren't, and she was almost completely sure that she, Xion, wasn't that bad either. She didn't really have contact with any other of the Organization members to know if they were that nasty. There were a few scary ones, but...
...evil? Not really, she didn't think so. Maybe they were lost, but that was different. They could still change, right? That's why they were seeking to gain a heart.
She sighed lightly at the last question. Should she tell, or not? Probably not, she wasn't allowed to say anything to anyone. It would get her into trouble, and that was the last thing she wanted. Then again, somewhere deep down she wanted to leave. She knew she needed to. There were things she needed to figure out, and it was clear that staying with the Organization wasn't going to be much help...
"...I'm kind of their Fourteen, but....I don't know. I wish I could get away..."she mumbled, looking away.

Inku eyes widened in surprise. One of the Organization....right here...with me....eating ice cream...and she's cute and not....evil?
Inku looked away in silence for moment, and quickly ran to the opposite site of the tower, eventually coming back around to Xion's side. He took a good look at her for a few moments and finally sat next to her at a giggle.
"Wow. I mean, wow! So, you're a Nobody, I see...", he said as he playfully kissed her right on the cheek and smiled, blushing deeper. "Well, you're a lot more interesting now..."
Inku twiddled his thumbs again, pondering of what to say to her next. She seemed that she was in need of support... and then again, he was in the neighborhood....
He rested a hand over her shoulder, and gave her a warm smile. "It's okay...I won't let anything hurt you." he said. "If you dont want to say anything more, you don't have to. Though, if you want to share anything else, feel free to tell me, Xion" he finished, taking a popsicle stick out of his mouth and looking into it. No winner...

The kiss on her cheek didn't make her react. She was looking down at her hands sadly; her fingers digging into the black leather of her cloak and biting her lips tightly. "Well, there's not much to say. Actually, life in there is kind of...boring. But I can't leave again, or they would kill me..."she mumbled, looking away. She was almost embarrased at the fact that she was working for the Organization; annoyed at the fact that she couldn't get away and start over. She gave a sigh in thought.
