Xion!

[mirroredmemory]

[Everything feels so strange, tense, like the calm before a storm. Xion can feel it, she's worried for her friends and she's worried for everyone else.

She wants to get stronger; she knows that Roxas and Joe have been training hard, and she doesn't want to be a burden to them. She wants to help Ven and Aqua get Terra back. She wants to be as strong as she knows Sora is- after all, if she's his copy, why shouldn't she be?

It's daunting though. The last time she fought anyone...

She puts that thought from her mind as she makes her way out to the woods to train.]

[mirroredmemory]

[She waits, waits for the moment he's almost on her before she drops and rolls to the side and then goes on the offensive, striking low and fast.]

[mirroredmemory]

[As soon as Ven goes down, Xion's immediately rushing towards him to see if he's alright, but he gets to his feet before she can help him up.]

Are you OK? I'm sorry.

[mirroredmemory]

[She looks away, uncomfortable and awkward all of a sudden.]

But I don't want to hurt my friends...

[mirroredmemory]

But-

[This is stupid.

Ven is fine, everyone is fine, but she needs to get stronger so she can help to keep it that way. But... turning her Keyblade on a friend... even though she has no desire to hurt him it feels wrong.]

I'm sorry I- the last time I-

[She takes up her ready stance again.]

I'm OK.

[mirroredmemory]

I'm OK.

[She says it to reassure herself, grip shifting on her Keyblade as she does so.]

I'll be OK. I just... need to keep telling myself that this isn't for real this time.

[mirroredmemory]

[She looks surprised at the gesture, glances up to meet his eyes searchingly for a second.]

You know about what happened to me, don't you.

[mirroredmemory]

Don't be. I wanted it to be that way, otherwise Roxas-

[She drops her eyes.]

It had to be him or me, and I couldn't let it be him. I had to protect him.

So that's why I lost our fight, and when I came here I made a promise to myself that I would never hurt anyone I loved ever again.

[mirroredmemory]

[She looks at him for a second, then wraps her arms around him in a hug.]

I'm sorry. I should be making you feel better, not the other way round.
