Encounter

RaXi came up to the roof to see what I was up to. She felt bad for ordering me around I guess... She apologized and I accepted it. Really, what we needed was leaders here...I understood...even if it did upset me to just get ordered around so easily. I didn't exactly know WHAT to say to her...I was alone all the time...so I didn't have much practice when it came to "chatting".

I didn't have to worry about that for long. A huge disturbance shook the castle as a horde of nobodies invaded. "What the Hell?" I slipped. RaXi got ready to take off...yelling, "What's going on?" But I stopped her quickly.

"Hey...we have company." I warned her prepping my blade. They didn't come here to talk...that much I knew.

RaXi stood firm with her Great Sword out as well. We eyed our cloaked enemies. "Who are you?" RaXi called out. One stepped forward and removed his hood. I KNEW THAT FACE!!

"Long time no see Ximh..." He smirked. "You did keep that name didn't you? The name I gave you..."

My head hurt. One of my hands instinctively went up to my forehead as I tried to figure out just who this person was. He looked a lot like me. His hair standing up in similar sized spikes...yet he let two of his bangs stretch down. And the coloring was different. His hair was a frosty blue and had white tips...his bangs being that same ghostly white. And his eyes. They were a bright light blue...nearly white themselves and he gazed at me with them in an eerily familiar and vicious way.

"Who the hell are you?!" I demanded, pointing my Buster Sword at him.

"Aw...that hurts." He smirked putting his hand on his chest. "Too bad I don't have a heart...just now you'd have made me cry."

I knew he was being sarcastic...and it was beginning to piss me off. Suddenly I saw his face in what I could only describe as a "memory flash"...My eyes widened with shocked realization. "B...Brother?"

He smiled and without warning attacked me. I blocked his weapon...a huge hammer set on a spear like staff. And we sat in a stalemate...each trying to best the other with strength. I grunted as I tried to overpower him...no one could match me like this when it came to strength. But why had I called him 'Brother'? I had said it...but I hadn't the memories to go with that realization.

Out of the corner of my eye, I seen RaXi come towards me. As though she wanted to help. "STAY OUT OF THIS!!! HE IS MY OPPONENT!!!" I shouted at her. She froze in her steps and turned her attention to the other Cloaked person...who'd yet to make a move.

Ximh
