Disclaimer---Gah, these things are SO boring. -sigh- I don't own any of this, if u wanna sue, I have a nice collection of TY beanie babies....that's about all u'll have. But if u take them, I'll cry, I swear it! ;.;
PRE S: Um, note the fact that I still don't have a beta reader so I'm sorry in advance about the errors and such....I'm really awful at proofreading, especially at night when I write these things.
Oh, and just in case the title might confuse, what it means is, (rhetorical questions) What lies between black and white....grey right? Well, usually black means darkness and white means light, so what's between light and darkness? It'll make more sense and I'll explain everything at the end. No spoiling! But remeber All that is darkness is not evil and all that is light is not good.
ON W/THE STORY!!! -poofs-
CHAPTER 5: is getting me nowhere." Minutes has passed like hours and Riku was not able to stand without leaning heavily on a wall or tall rock. "He could be asleep for all I know, light knows," Riku yawned and sat roughly on the ground, "I want to." Shaking his head he stood, leaning on a rock he remembered had once had drawings to make it look like a man's head. A very odd man's head. (I loved that rock! .) Now it was bleak, like all of the walls. "Tryin to make us forget most likely."Who're you talking to?" Kairi wandered in looking around. She was soaked and looked completely shaken up. It wasn't until then that Riku noticed that the storm raged outside. "Sora's not here is he?" Her gaze finally settled on Riku and she gasped, practically leaping over to him, "What HAPPENED?"pushed her fussing hands off gruffly, but held onto her arm to pull himself up. She nearly toppled over, but held her ground and allowd him to lean on her. "We've got to find Sora. Traid," this time he actually spit on the ground, "really is going to hurt Sora, if not kill him!" Riku nearly fell over when Kairi stumbled. She'd made an interesting 'eep' sound and paled considerably.why?!" The beginning of tears were welling up in the corners of her eyes.don't know Kairi." He was finally able to stand on his own, but not much else. "But he was talking about the Bearer, or something like that, and me being 'the Guardian'." He took a shaky step forward and sat on that huge rock. "Before you ask, I don't know what that means-"seems familiar about it. Don't you feel like you should know something?" Kairi put a hand on his shoulder and looked into his eyes. She found it the only way to see if Riku was lying or not, she had gotten him to admit his deepest secret that way. Kairi wasn't a fool, she knew when people lied to her and she was not going to sit looking at her hands in her lap and accept it like some child.don't feel anything familiar, but what I know is that we don't want to open that door." Riku screwed up in face, ready to say that name, but Kairi stopped him with her hands on her hips, annoyance clear on her face.Riku. Just say the name, it's not like his name is going to hurt someone! It's just a name for light's sake!" Her hands flew to her mouth and her eyes went wide, "W-what'd I just say?"have no idea, what's with the 'for light's sake' never heard you use that before." Riku tried to laugh, but it seemed his ribs were bruised. That, or they just hurt, a lot.seemed right at the time. Something's going on here."kidding. Anyway,"Kairi said the name for him since he'd seemed to have trouble with it himself.anyway, HIS world is on the other side of that door, I'm sure of it. Apparently, that's where Sora's been going in his dreams. I think he's trying to lure Sora there and do . . . something."gotta find Sora! Can you walk?"stood up carefully and stepped forward, ignoring the receeding pain in his chest, he was just getting used to it he was sure, "I should be fine, but it's still violent out there." Almost as if to prove his point, a crash of thunder echoed through the cave and Kairi gasped loudly, jumping clear of the rock to the other side of the cave. Riku tried not to chuckle at her, but Kairi glared at him anyway, knowing he wanted to.a noise made the two freeze. The door at the end of the cavern was creaking, sliding open ever so slightly. Riku paled, his mouth hanging open. "No, we've got close it before-"Kairi? What're you doing here?"
A/N: Ha! dun dun duuuuuuuunnnnnnnn! The plot thickens, I think. Well, anyway, I really don't know if that explains anything, but it was necessary. I didn't realize how much so until I actually wrote it, but it explains a lot in my head.
O, u like the little mind control thing Traid has on Sora, I do . I seriously hope I didn't just spoil things for someone.....well...author notes were never meant to be perfect, at least these weren't. BTW I hate using contractions in stories so I try not to whenever it's possible. Oh, and I don't swear either...so yeah...you'll find no swearing in my work unless I copy/paste something. And those are usually only lines I find that I like (yes I give credit, no I don't plagerize) or song lyrics. So that explains the astrisks (sp?) in the last chapter.
Did you know Sora actually does swear?! He doesn't seem like he would, but just read the manga, he calls the heartless a vewy bad name! O.O Bad Sora! Lol.
Um, these really are too long so I'm goin to bed now! TTFN!!!!

Riku paled, his mouth hanging open. "No, we've got close it before-"Kairi? What're you doing here?"
-------------Traid glided over to the boy stretched out in the sand. The voice sounded to sweet and serene to the young brunet that he couldn't help the smile that found its way to his lips. Vaguely in the back of his mind, something told him to question Traid, something was going on somewhere else that he thought should concern him, but right now, those glistening emerald orbs held all of his attention.
"Sora, are you awake yet?" Traid's face hovered over his, blocking the bright sunlight. Really he couldn't be any older than Riku for all his appearance. 'Ri . . ku?' His mind turned over the name, but no recognition came. Glittering white hair fell down around him, almost like a tent. Sora smiled and twined a few strands around his fingers.awake, I think." Sora yawned and closed his eyes contentedly.chuckled, "Sleepy head, you can't stay here forever, at least, not right now."why not?"my world is not safe." The older boy's face took on a look of disturbance while was echoed in his voice. He knelt beside Sora, turning his face away and running his fingers deftly through the sand making a kind of drawing. The pattern looked remarkably like a heart inside a giant keyhole.watched him for a minute, worry clouding his mind. There was SOMETHING he was supposed to remember, but whenever Traid was around-.I need your help again. I'm ashamed to ask."Sora abandoned his thoughts and snatched the hand Traid was drawing in the sand with, "Don't be ashamed to ask me anything! You know I'll help, even if I don't know what I'm doing." Sora locked his gaze and held it with what he hoped was confidence and sincerity.chuckled, "You're right, I was foolish. I do have faith in you Sora, but I've put so much on you, I wish there was more I could do."a memory danced across Sora's mind, jerking him from reality for a moment. Sparkling aqua eyes. Those eyes would have seemed lost on any normal person. But the person in Sora's memory was not normal, silken silver hair hung gracefully to his shoulders, Sora never knew how it had gotten so silver, he just knew it was that way for as long as he could remember. A well toned body, practicing, something. But he knew instantly this person had to be this Riku, but how could he forget someone like that? He almost measured up to the grace of Traid. But Traid had the grace of royalty, he could easily pass for a prince if not a king who had been so his whole life. This Riku had the grace of a warrior, well trained and hard as sandstone to break. (And let me tell you, you'd think something called sandstone would just fall apart, NOT!!! It's wicked hard to break open, my earth science teacher had to use a special machine just to get a small chunk off!)When said boy came back to himself, Traid was holding his shoulders, staring at him worriedly.ah, what did you say?" He shook his head in much the way a wet dog or cat would, which caused a light chuckle to pass Traid lips. Sora seemed carried away by that sound, so enchanting and light, like an easy spring breeze. Promising happier times ahead.said, I need you to open the door." Traid's eyes suddenly turned determined, and Sora found himself physically unable to break his gaze. Instead, he could only stutter out his reply.door?"know, the door." Another memory danced across his mind, leaving a permanent impression. A door, a very nicely carved door that seemed part of the stone wall around it. The door was in a cave, a cave he and only few others new about. Riku was one of those few others, and Riku had warned him about something, something about-need something from your world, and I can only obtain it by myself. But that door is all that keeps me from saving this world once and for all."nodded, the passion that lit the fire in Traid's eyes was intoxicating and contagious. Sora nodded with a renewed vigor, ready to leap to this task right now. His spirit practically cried at the call of duty. But instead, he found himself suddenly wrapped in a welcome embrace. Sora decided Traid smelled good, and he seemed to fit in that hug, like two puzzle pieces interlocking to finish a great puzzle. This was all he needed, but he couldn't stay forever. "I'll do it. You won't have to wait long." Traid nodded, pulling him away to arms' length. Tears sparkled in his green eyes and the site took Sora's breath away. Traid kissed him on the forehead gently and the world shimmered like diamond dust before fading.-------------was up from his shelter spot and running through the storm before he even realized he was awake. How odd that he had not just gone home when it started to rain. It was just as well though, now he did not have to risk those angry waves trying to row back to this island. 'My parents must be worried sick, but they know me.' Just as quickly as it had come, he pushed the thought from his mind. He had a task to complete. No matter what Riku had said, he could not find himself distrusting Traid, the effects of his embrace were still vivid in his mind. He coudl still smell the boy! Now he just needed to open that door, then they'd see, Traid was a friend. Sora smiled a wide smile that wouldn't seem to go away.
There was one odd thing though. He could not imagine why he'd forgotten Riku in that dream. It seemed to happen when he got to Traid's world, though he just usually blamed it on the effects of the dream state he was in when he came to that world. But it was strange, he couldn't even remember Kairi at all. 'They're not turning themselves to the darkness. I think I know what happened, whoever is trying to destroy Traid's world is trying here too. Whoever it is must be taking the places of my friends. That must have fooled Traid, but it didn't work on me . . . well, only for a second.'thoughts cut off when he reached the mouth of the secret place. A gust of strong wind nearly took him off his feet, but he stood his ground and ducked in, not bothering to check if anyone had seen him. Who would be out in this weather. Unbeknownst to him, yellow eyes watched closely, but stood back, bidding (sp?) their time.glided down the twists and turns that was the first part of the secre place like he had since he and Riku had found it. When he entered the cave however, Riku and Kairi stood before him. Not expecting them, he nearly jumped out of his skin, but they were not looking at him, they were looking at the door, open only a crack. 'Good,' Sora thought, 'this might make it easier. At least I can just pull it open now.' But at the moment, he had to satisfy his curiosity. What were Riku and Kairi doing out in this weather, he knew Kairi was still frightened of thunderstorms, especially since that hurricane had hit last summer. And Riku looked as though he'd gotten in some sort of fight and lost; tears in his clothing, bruises on his face, neck, and arms, Sora guessed there'd be some on his chest and legs underneath his shirt and pants, and blood leaking from what looked like claw marks on his shoulders.Kairi, what're you doing here?" They turned to him suddenly, Riku's was a face of horror, 'Odd,' Sora thought, and Kairi looked utterly lost.A/N: Ha! dun dun duuuuuuuunnnnnnnn! The plot thickens, I think. Well, anyway, I really don't know if that explains anything, but it was necessary. I didn't realize how much so until I actually wrote it, but it explains a lot in my head.

Did you know Sora actually does swear?! He doesn't seem like he would, but just read the manga, he calls the heartless a vewy bad name! O.O Bad Sora! Lol.
