He walked slowly through the town looking for someone scanning all of the faces in the crowd. None of them were the one he was looking for sadly he turned around and sighed.

(I'll assume that's Riku)
Sora sighed and calmed th crowd. "I assure you that there's nothing to morry about, our gurad hasn't spotted heartless yet in Hallow Bastion. We're doing our best."

Riku walked back to Sora. "No sign of any heartless or nobodies and Mariya is no where in sight but I'll keep looking." He looked at the crowd "How's Kairi taking all this?"

Sora waited til the crowd cleared a bit. "She's mostly worried about Mariya. She's keeping everyone in the castle calm, it seems to be working so far. I wonder where Mariya could be...you don't think she might have left for another world do you?" He asked, looking concerned.

Darren came running up and bowed a bit to Sora. "i checked the dark Depths and the Fissure. She's no where to be found Sir."

"Thanks for your effort Darren." Sora mutterd before thinking. "Where could she have gone?" He asked, worried.

Riku looked up at the sky in deep thought " Maybe we should ask Merlin he knows everything right?" He looked at Sora "Do you still have that Gummi Ship?"

"That's true." Sora mutters. "I never got rid of it. I thought maybe I might need it someday so I kept it."

Sora then leaves the area and goes down to Merlin's. He knocked on the door and it opened. Darren ent inside, Sora following and Merlin looked over to them.

"Ah Sora, welcome, what brings you here?" Merlin asked.

"Well Mariya's gone missing an we were hoping you might know where she is. Her mother is worried."

"Well she left because everything here riminded her of Axel Striker, no?" Sora nodded. "well then she may have left to go to a world where she as no memeories of him."

"Traverse Town." Sora muttered, before hitting his head. "Some father i am."

"Don't worry sora, me and Riku will go get her, we'll make sure she's safe." Darren said. "Ready Riku?"

Riku looked at Sora then at Darren "Absolutly" He held out his hand and called his keyblade to him "I haven't used "the way to dawn" in a long time". He turned and started out the door " Hey sora where do you keep that Gummi ship of yours?"

"I have it waiting outside now." Sora said. "Good luck to both of you, If I wasn't needed here I would go with you."

"We understand your highness." Darren said before leaving Merlin's and got into his gummi shp. He leaves Sora's for Riku and take off.

"I understand see you later." Riku turns and walks out the door hopping into Sora's gummi ship.
