.......Wow.

-waves like an idiot- HI GUYS! I've been dead haven't I? Heh heh, yeah.

What can I say? Me an' K.O. are making this up as we go along. Throw that in with junior year, getting sick/grounded, and being totally unmotivated to write, can you really blame us?

K.O.- And me getting bitched at by people on LiveJournal who think I was lying about my hacked account. You know how it goes.

That we do. Kingdom Hearts and all other pop culture items meantioned belong to their respective owners. Parts of this chapter were inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender. The only thing we own are the OCs. And as for our final note, we don't condone drinking.

K.O.- Seriously, you'll kill your liver. And your brain cells.

“So… since they're the Princesses, they have some power, right?” Xigbar asked. Him, Xemnas, Zexion and Vexen were in Xemnas’ office. Zexion nodded.

“Yes, but we have yet to figure out what these powers are, other than the girls' titles.” Zexion said. He turned to Xemnas. “What do you suggest we should do?”

Xemnas placed a hand to his chin, thinking hard. The others waited.

“Perhaps it takes some… experience.” He said finally. Vexen nodded in agreement.

“It’s possible that, if taken to others worlds to experience the different customs, their past lives might awaken, thus awakening their full power.”

“Does this mean what I think it means?” Xigbar asked excitedly. Xemnas nodded. “Sweet! ROAD TRIP!”

"Actually, its more of a field trip..."

"Screw off."

“But to which world?” Zexion asked.

“Hmmm... Perhaps the Land of Dragons? There’s a festival coming up. We can experiment with the feeling of excitement.” Vexen offered.

“Hey! Can I tell ‘em?! CanIcanIcanI?!” Xigbar asked, jumping in his place. Xemnas, Vexen, and Zexion all looked at each other.

"...Meh."

"Why not?"

"We could use a good laugh."

Xigbar whooped and grabbed the intercom.

XxXx-Downstairs-XxXx

Demyx, Axel, and Amaya had just finished watching Chesna practice her karate with Lexaeus for the past few hours in what could have been fear, shock, admiration, and just plain freaked-out-ness mashed together then wrapped in a burrito. She was now taking a giant swig from a cold water bottle the larger Nobody had given her, already emptying half of it into the confines of her stomach.

Amaya walked up to her friend with new-found awe, staring holes into her face. Chesna stared back, amused. "...Yes?"

"I..." The other couldn't speak. "There are no words..."

Axel came foreward as well, behind Amaya for protection; he didn't care what Xemnas said, he could feel his freaked-out gland bluging through his skull. "I think you're in need of some serious therapy. More than I thought you needed since you came here."

Chesna waved it aside, not at all surprised at the older boy hiding behind the teen. "Already been there... and I'm not being sarcastic, by the way."

"Chesna, you've been to therapy?" Demyx asked as he handed her a towel, voice slightly quavering with worry. "W... What happened?"

She wiped the sweat of her face and laid the towel on her shoulder. "I'd... rather not talk about it." With that, she raised the water bottle to her lips and started to finish it off. Yet, as she did so, a familiar voice boomed over the intercom:

"What's crackin', little bitches?! Xigbar, here! Just wanted to annouce a FIELD TRIP! Get yer asses in gear for Land o' Dragons!"

There were some cries of delight from the outside. Chesna immediatly spat out whatever she had just drank -directly on Axel's face- as she and Amaya drew wicked grins.

"Sweeeeet!" they cooed in unison.

"Aw, sick!"

"Huh, it's been a while since Xemnas dragged everyone out." Demyx said, as Axel wiped his face. Lexaeus agreed.

"They appear to be happy, though." Lexaeus said, watching the girls.

They were dancing in circles, arm in arm. "We're going to China! We're going to China!"

XxXx-Land of Dragons-XxXx

After arguing over who got to drive, several wrong turns, and an interesting pit stop (all we'll say is it involed a Powerwild Heartless and a crowbar) they arrived at the Land of Dragons. The streets were decorated for the festival. Booths lined the street, full of items and people waiting egarly to sell them. Hanging above them were lanters, each decorated with a diffrent animal. The Nobodies had decided to disguse themselves, since they probably wern't wanted. Everyone, including Chesna and Amaya, were dressed in spectacular kimonos.

"This. Is. Bloody. Awesome." Chesna said, twirling her kimono. Amaya nodded.

"Beats the hell out of the castle."

"And I look like a spirit medium! A bloody spirit medium!" The Brit began to shake Amaya's shoulders. "Do you know what that means?!"

"Ehh... Something Phoenix Wright-y?" Amaya guessed.

"Exactly!" Chesna cried. "I get to call upon the dead to speak through my body! Oh! Maybe they'll use me to commit murder!"

"...I don't even wanna know."

They all spit up in order to enjoy the festivities. Xigbar, Xemnas, Xaldin and Saix all went drinking. Axel and Roxas went to go find good seats for the fireworks. Larxene and Marluxia wandered after the drinking group. Luxord went gambling and Lexaeus went after him to make sure he didn't get 'carried away'. Demyx, Vexen and Zexion followed Chesna and Amaya down the streets lined with shops.

"Mabye I can find Count D's pet shop! Then I can buy a freaking dragon or a Kyuubi-no-Kustine or some kick ass animal!" Amaya said excitedly.

"But... Doesn't Count D work in Chinatown?" Chesna asked. Amaya glared at her.

"Oh, way to kill my dream." Amaya pouted. They wandered around, looking at the awesome stuff for sale.

"Oh. My. God." Chesna gasped.

"What now?"

The Brit turned her head in the direction of one booth. Said booth was selling magatamas. The one thing Chesna ever wanted. (...Well, it was actually the fourth thing she ever wanted; the first thing was a younger sibling, the second was a cape, and the third was to know how to play the violin.) She immedeatly began to dig through her pockets.

"Amaya! How much munny do you have on you?!" She cried. Amaya looked at her through her new butterfly mask that covered her eyes.

"Why?"

"It's an emergency! They're selling magatamas and I need to Psyche-Lock people's minds for the sake of justice and blackmail!"

"... Again, don't wanna know. OK, let's see here... Ten bucks and a piece of gum... Wow I'm broke..."

"Damnit!" Chesna said, counting how much she had. She didn't have enough, even with Amaya's ten. She was consedering going after Axel and beating some money out of him, but Vexen held out the bright green magatama.

"...You... You bought it for me, Vexen?"

"Consider it a gift for all the Axel insults." He said, patting her on the head.

Chesna just stared at Vexen like he was some sort of heroic icon (which, really, he was to her), clutching the little gem to her chest, before clinging to him in a hug and having a fangirl 'splodey. "Oh my God, I freaking love you more than I did five seconds ago! And you kick more arse than you did five seconds ago! I love you, I love you, I love you, and I will torment the red-headed wanker as much as you like! Adopt me, pleeeaaase!"

Amaya looked at her friend clutching the Nobody while he patted her on the back, clearly basking in the respect and love. "Um... I'd get her off you, but I'm afraid she'd attack if I tried anything daring."

"Hm? Oh, that's quite alright. Just leave her here for a while."

Amaya shrugged. "Whatever... give this to her when she detaches herself from you." Amaya held out a mask that was just like hers, only golden. "Now to find other shit to blow my munny on! ...Ooo, those look cool!"

"No, Amaya, you're not buying fireworks."

"But Vexeeeeeeen!" Amaya cried. "I need entertainment, and colorful explosions are entertaining!"

Vexen would not budge. "Amaya, please take a moment to consider who you are currently living with."

Amaya did so, and the image of a maniacal Xigbar and Axel duo popped up. "...Ah. Good point."

"Yes. I have many of those."

XxXx-Meanwhile, with the drinking party-XxXx

"This is why I detest coming here, at least with you people..." Xemnas said, rubbing his temples in annoyance. Xigbar was standing on the table, his kimono was falling off his left shoulder and he had a bottle of god-only-knows-what in his hand.

"He's more well-behaved than last time." Xaldin said, downing another cup.

Saix looked at him. "True, but you know as well as we do that's not going last very-"

CRASH

"...long."

"Xigbar!"

"Duuuuude! Larshy, shince when did you haves a hot twin shister?!"

"That's Marluxia!"

"'Issha shame thin'!"

XxXx-Back with the shopping group-XxXx

"Why do I have that sense of impending doom?" Chesna wondered aloud. Amaya shrugged.

"I'm wondering why Chinese food never agrees with me..." Amaya said rubbing her stomach.

Zexion looked at her incredulously. "You must have eaten your weight in fried rice. It's no wonder that you have a stomach ache."

"I know, but it tasted so good..."

"Heeey, its a crowd! Let's go see what other people are staring at!" Chesna cried, dragging Amaya over to the crowd of people. The crowd left a space in the middle, and people were dancing to music. Amaya and Chesna forced their way to the front to watch.

"Wow..." Amaya said in amazement, watching the dancers. The dancers were doing all sorts of amazing stunts, back flipping and throwing each other in the air and such. Zexion peered over at Amaya, she looked like she was compleatly out of it.

"I think Amaya's past life may have been triggered, if only for a moment." Zexion whispered to Vexen. Vexen looked at him, then Amaya.

"How can you be sure? Chesna is staring in awe just like her."

"Yes, but Amaya seems to be in another world, almost as if this was something she used to do..."

"Dude, I'm having a really bad deja vu moment here." Amaya said, blinking a few times. Chesna looked at her.

"How so?"

"It feels like I've seen this somewhere before..." Amaya said.

"Mabye you were dreaming of dancing like this with a certain someone." Chesna said slyly. Amaya glared at her.

"Fall off a cliff and die." She spat. Nite cooed happily. The dancers finished their dance and the crowd burst into applause. "Ah, damn, you made me miss the end."

"Sorry." Chesna said as the crowd dispursed.

XxXx-Elsewhere-XxXx

It's a damn shame that at every party there's got to be party crashers.

In this case, the Huns.

You'd think an avalanche would be enough for them to get the message and stay away.

"When do we strike?" One of the warriors asked their leader.

"Just before the fireworks, when everyone will be gathered in the square."

But, then again, Disney villains are kind of stupid like that.

XxXx-Axel and Roxas (And no, they are NOT having sex in a ally! Disappointing, we know...)-XxXx

"This looks like a good spot." Axel said, surveying the area. Roxas gave him a look.

"Axel, we're on the roof!"

"That's the point. No one in the way." Axel said, leaping down onto some crates. Roxas followed.

"We should probably go get the others, the fireworks are going to start soon." Roxas said. Axel nodded. The Nobodies went down the street where they all spit up. They didn't see anyone. They passed by where Xemnas and the others were drinking.

"Come ooon! Danshe wif meh, bebeh!" Xigbar said from inside. His voice was so slurred it was almost impossible to tell what he was saying.

"Xigbar! Get the hell off or so help me I'll stick a knife so far up your ass-" Larxene shouted, followed by the sound of breaking china. (A/N:Heh, heh... China. Yeah sorry, shit pun)

"...Leeet's go that way." Roxas said, backing away from the building. They sped down the street. They only stopped when Roxas bumped into a glowing gold thing.

"Dae!" He said, catching the sprite. Dae cooed and nuzzled Roxas' neck. Axel looked. If Dae was here, then that ment Chesna and Amaya couldn't be too far away.

"Hey, where did Dae go?" They heard Chesna say from down the street. They followed the sound of her voice and ran into her.

"There you are!" Chesna exclamed, taking Dae from Roxas. "Now Dae, you know you're not supposed to go near any redheads unless they're on my Awesome Bisho-Red List."

"...And just who is on that list?" Axel asked, already knowing the answer.

"Every red head I know of except you." Yep. Saw that one coming.

"Anyway, the fireworks are going to start soon, and we got great seats!" Roxas said. Amaya turned her head so fast, you could hear her neck crack.

"I heard fireworks!" She said excitedly. When she recieved weird looks, she stated, "As I said to Vexen, colorful explosions in the sky are entertaining."

"We're not doubting that." Chesna said. "I just find your reaction a tad... odd."

"Fireworks are the highlight of any pyromaniac's life! How could I not be excited?!"

Axel just stared at her, incredulous. "Dude!"

Amaya blinked back. "Dude?"

He pointed back and forth between them, estatic. "Same logic!"

A gasp. "No way!"

"Yes way!"

"Fer sure?!"

"Fer sure bomb!"

"Seriously?!"

"Like cereal!"

Roxas blinked. "...This is going to go on for a while, isn't it?"

Chesna nodded. "Yes, yes it is."

XxXx-After Axel and Amaya establish that they're psychotic pyros-XxXx

Axel and Roxas led Chesna, Amaya, Demyx, and Zexion to the 'great seats' the had mentioned. Vexen had gone to see how the others were doing (much to Chesna's displeasure).

"Here it is." Axel said, pointing to a pile of crates. They stared.

"Wow, great seats, wanker." Chesna said sarcasticly.

"We're going to climb the crates to get to the seats, smartass." Axel said, hoisting himself up.

"Why yes, I am quite smart. Thank you for noticing."

"We're going on the roof, aren't we?" Amaya said, pulling herself up after Roxas. "Because I don't need you two attempting to push each other off."

"Killjoy!" Chesna proclaimed, taking Amaya's wrist and pulling herself onto the slanted roof. They walked along it for a few minutes, slipping and stumbling, until Axel stopped.

"Here we are." He said, sitting down. They were right by the Imperial Palace. People were gathering in the square, waiting for the fireworks.

"Ah I see your logic now, no one's in the way!" Demyx said, sitting down next to Axel. Axel nodded. They all sat down and waited for the fireworks to start. Below them, people were gathering. It appeared that the dancers had moved to the square, because music was playing and they were there again.

"Man, those dancers are good." Demyx said.

Chesna nodded in agreement. "Still not as awesome as your Dancers. Right, Amaya? ...Amaya?"

Amaya, fixated on the movement below, didn't respond. The Brit bit the tip of her thumb before reaching out for her friend's shoulder. Zexion, however, didn't like that, as he grabbed Chesna's wrist before her hand made contact.

Zexion was studying Amaya intently, and Chesna joined in, trying to see what he saw. Amaya's eyes had glazed over and turned a deeper brown than they normally seemed. In fact, Chesna saw that, in the right light, her eyes...

...they almost looked red.

Amaya suddenly jerked her head up, making everyone in the small party (for Chesna then noticed that Axel, Demyx, and Roxas were watching her too) jump back an inch or two, but the other girl was still in that strange trance. She cocked her head, giving Chesna a smile that was not certainly not Amaya-like, and spoke in a voice that was most certainly not hers either.

"See, Awendela?" She said, gesturing to the movement below. "This is what my people are like. We dance, we sing, we celebrate... just like your people. We aren't really all that different from each other, are we?" Her smile vansihed as she pulled her knees to her chin, wrapping her arms around her legs. "So... why? Why are we fighting...?"

Before Chesna could respond, Amaya blinked a few times, shaking her head, squinting her eyes out into space as if she didn't remember where she was. She let out a small moan, placing a hand to her head. "Whoa, blood rushing to the head... I feel dizzy... wheee..." She turned to Demyx

"...Dude, when did you dye your hair purple...?" She asked dazed, before looking at them. She took note of the weird looks she was recieving. "...What?"

The staring continued.

"Okay seriously, what the hell is wrong with you people?" Amaya asked, getting slightly freaked out.

"Are you... feeling okay?" Axel asked.

"Other than the feeling of all the blood going to my head, and the fact that I see three of you, I've never felt better. Why?"

"Well, you're seeing three of Axel, first off, and that's never good." Chesna started. "And second, you were speaking in some mystical, otherwordly voice and called me 'Awendela', and while that is a very pretty name, it still wasn't you."

"...Really?"

"You don't remember?" Roxas asked.

Amaya racked her brains. "...Nope, I got nothing."

Demyx turned to Zexion. "Please tell me you have some sort of explaination."

Zexion crossed his arms, thinking hard. "Well... I can only assume that Amaya's past life was awakened, but only for a brief moment. It also appears that when you're channeling her spirit, you remember nothing."

"Not to sure if that good or bad." Amaya said.

"Dammit! I've got the gear, yet you channel the spirit!?" Chesna pouted. With that, she whipped out the little magatama from her robe and clutched it in her hands. "Et tu, Maggey?! Why?! Don't you love me anymore?!"

"Hey, I'm not commiting murder!" Amaya screamed.

Before anyone could comment on Amaya's mental health, there were shouts from below. They looked down to see the people in the square running around in fear. In no time at all the cause was spotted.

Yep, you guessed it. Huns.

...You really have to admire the way they try.

The small party watched in horror as the Huns terrorized the party goers. They immediatly spotted the leader.

"We have to do something!" Chesna said, standing up.

Axel stood up beside her, nodding. "You're absolutely right." With that, he pulled Amaya up, grabbed her and Chesna by the arms, and started dragging them away. "Let's bail!"

"That's not what I meant, asshat!" Chesna said, wrenching free from Axel's grasp.

"Well, what do you suggest?" Roxas asked.

Chesna paused and brought a finger to her pursed lips. Then she gasped. "I just had the greatest idea of life!"

"Oh, this won't be good." Axel mumbled.

Chesna threw her sandal at him, then directed her attention to Amaya. "Amaya! How good are your acting skills?"

"...Why does this matter?"

"Ever hear of Yin and Yang?" Chesna asked.

"...Yeeeah?"

"And you know how you were kinda just possessed?"

"...Where are you going with this?"

In a dramatic gesture, the Brit swung an arm around her friend's shoulders. "How would you like to embody Chinese spirits of ancient lore?"

XxXxXx-Down Below-XxXxXx

Everything was going according to the Hun leaders plan.(A/N: We're too lazy to name him) The exits were blocked and everyone was kept under control. All he needed to do now was get the emporor. Just as he was about to order his men to bust the door down, the full moon appeared, as a strong wind blew through the square. Then one of the hosteges screamed.

"Look, on the roof!"

The Hun leader ran out to the center of the square. Standing on eaither end of the roof were two one of the left was dressed in spectacular white robes while the one on the right was dressed in black robes, both swirling in the wind.

"They're spirits!" Someone screamed. "The spirits have come to judge us!"

Thankfully, this caused such an uproar in the crowd, no one heard the two "spirits" converse. "...Are you sure about this?" said the black one. "It won't be long before they figure this out."

"Trust me on this!" said the white one, in a sophistacted British accent. "If the idiots at home can fall for talking to ghosts on the telly, I don't think we'll have any trouble fooling a bunch of Huns."

"True." Amaya took a quick glance back down. "OK, I'm going for it."

Chesna gave a quick nod in approval as Amaya extended her hand. "Yang!" She cried. "Your meddling in the affairs of mortals has gone too far now! Manipulating these men into attacking innocent villagers...?!"

Chesna threw her head back and gave a loud, surprisingly sadistic laugh. "Oh, but dearest sister, this is nothing new for me! You know this to be true!"

"But on a day meant to celebrate those passed on?!"

Chesna slowly started to walk down the roof, and Amaya followed, never breaking eye contact. "Why not, Yin? It makes it all the more easier for when they are reunited in the afterlife!"

When she was far enough down, Chesna jumped off the roof and into the crowd, causing hushed gasps as the onlookers spread away. Only the Huns kept their ground when what they thought to be a spirit of old comnfronted their leader. Amaya however, stayed on the roof, looking down at them all. She hadn't told Chesna, but when they started acting, she began feeling very light headed. "...Gah, woozy..."

Meanwhile Chesna was continuing with the act. She approched the Hun leader, a very evil smile on her face. "Tell me, mortal, why have you not yet done as I will? Why do you stay silent before your master of the darkness?"

The Hun leader was having a hard time bevieving that he was used by the great spirit Yang. Chesna saw his doubt and decided to prove it. With a snap of her fingers, a burst of fire exploded over the roof. The crowd screamed.

"You see? I am indeed the spirit of the dark." She said, laughing again. The Hun leader didn't know what to do. But before he could answer the "spirit" there was a heart stopping roar. Chesna whirled around.

"...oh, dooku..."

XxXxX-Behind the roof-XxXxX

Axel, Demyx, Roxas, and Zexion were hiding behind the roof, waiting for Chesna and Amaya's signals. They were going to make the "Spirit magic" happen to convince the Huns that Chesna and Amaya were indeed Yin and Yang. They too herd the roar.

"...What the hell was that?" Axel asked looking around. He saw Demyx staring at the roof in horror.

"What's wrong with you?"

"...D...Dra... DRAGON!" Demyx cried, pointing at the roof. Sure enough, a pure white dragon was flying above the roof. It roared again and circled around. Another second later, a pitch black one joined it, causing the crowd to scream. The Nobodies turend to Zexion.

"Hey... Zex? Uh, what's up with the dragon illusion?" Axel asked. Zexion looked at him.

"...That's not me."

"...Shit!" Axel hissed. They heard hurried footsteps and Chesna ran around to meet them.

"What's with the dragons?" She said, looking at Zexion.

"Its not me alright?" He said, looking back up at the roof. Amaya was still standing there, the dragons flying around her. She didn't seem to notice the great monsters flying around her. In fact it was almost as if she was commanding them...

"...D...Did she cast that illusion?" Roxas wondered aloud as the dragons soared overhead. Before any of them could inquire further, Amaya started to do something that made all their jaws drop.

She began to dance.

It was as if she had memorised the dancers they were watching earlier; only it was ten times better, though, and having two dragons soring around mimicing the dance didn't hurt either. The Nobodies and one teenager could hear the crowd below 'ooh' and 'ahh' as the dragons soared around. Finally they stopped, one at each end of the building.

"What the hell is she doing?" Axel hissed.

"Believe me if I knew....." Zexion muttered. They were silenced when Amaya spoke. But it wasn't her voice....

"People of this world! My name is Tamesis! I am the embodiment of the spirit you know as Yin!" the voice within Amaya shouted.

After her little speech, the dragons on eaither side of her fired at her. The illusion was very convincing, it gave Amaya enough time to leap down to the Nobodies. They waited.

"....Amaya...?" Roxas said. The teen didn't respond, instead, she fell forward. Axel caught her before she hit the ground.

"Hey are you alright!?" He yelled. He got a response this time.

"....Pretty rainbow stars...."

Well it was better then silence.

XxXx-The towns main gate-XxXx

"Where the hell are they?" Xemnas muttered darkly. He and the rest of the drinking party were standing at the gate, waiting for the rest of the Orginization. Xigbar was drunk off his ass, wearing a lampshade.

"Well, here comes Zexion and his party." Xaldin pointed out.

"What happened to Amaya?" Marluxia asked. The teen was clonked out on Axel's back, groaning in pain.

"We'll explain at the castle." Zexion said. Demyx was having a minor problem.

"Xigbar, are you going to be okay?" Demyx asked. The Freeshooter was swaying where he stood, staring at Demyx.

"...Where the hell did you get a lampshade in China?" Chesna asked.

"We had it prepared ahead of time." Larxene answered.

"Ah."

Meanwhile, Xigbar was hitting on Demyx. He was so drunk, and the lampshade was obscuring his vision, he thought Demyx was a girl... and a hot one at that. (A/N: All the XigDem fans can die happy now, while I die with a knife in my arm.)

"Um.... help?"Demyx said, backing away from the pirate-ninja-surfer... whatever the hell he is.

Chesna stood next to Demyx, surveying the scene with great interest. "...In a minute."

Before anything else mindscarring could happen, Luxord and Lexaeus had returned. Both men were slightly out of breath, and Luxord was sporting a large bag that jingled with movement.

"Xemnas, I suggest we leave now." He said, looking over his shouler every few seconds. Xemnas nodded and counted to make sure everyone was there.

"Now there's the matter of the driver..."

"I'm good ta drive!" Xigbar shouted, holding up the keys and hiccuping.

"NO!"

XxXx-Castle that Never Was-XxXx
Next Day

Xigbar was walking down the halls, clutching an ice pack to his head and looking for some pain killer. His head felt like it was being assualted by a jack hammer. As he passed by one of the bathrooms, he found Chesna sitting out side it, playing her DS.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked.

"I'm waiting for Amaya." The Brit stated, eyes never leaving the dual-screens. Xigbar looked at the closed door.

"What's wrong with her?"

"Channeling her past life, dancing with no warning, and on top of that all the food she ate didn't agree with her."

When she recieved a blank stare in reply she said. "She's offering up the contents of her stomach to the porcelain god."

"Aaah." Xigbar said, knocking on the door. "Amaya, you alright in there?"

There was a gag, followed by a splooshing noise and a gasp. "Blugh... WAKA LAKA!"

"She'll live."

Till next time!
