Face to Face with Faith and Fury
Chapter 1: Be Careful What You Wish For…
"Are you ready Sora?"
The teen nodded, his brown mop of hair following the motion. The boy who'd asked him if he was ready was his best friend Riku. Riku had long silver hair, aqua eyes, and a determined look on his face. For a long time they'd been tormented by a new villain, but now they'd finally caught up with him at his hideout.
The two boys marched through the door to see their adversary waiting on the opposite side of the room, arms crossed in front of his chest.
"About time you got here. I was getting bored." The man told them, shrugging sarcastically. His eyes pinned them down, appearing to look at both boys at once due to the different colors of those eyes. Yellow on the right, blue on the left, with short black hair framing the man's head and sticking up slightly. Three gold hoops hung from his left ear and a large black trench coat draped open to reveal dark brown jeans and a blood red shirt beneath.
"You boys have fun getting here?" He asked, pulling out his weapon: a long, black sword.
"Damen, your charade ends here!" Sora cried, pulling out his keyblade and moving into a fighting stance.
"So says the keyblade user of the light. What about you, the master of darkness?" Damen asked, turning to Riku.
"Me? I'm getting annoyed by you. I don't forgive people who annoy me." Riku replied, calmly pulling out his keyblade, Soul Eater.
"Well then let's see what you can do." Damen said, putting up his hand and twitching his fingers towards himself as if to say 'Bring it'.
Riku and Sora charged forward…and slashed straight through their opponent.
"Oh that's right! I'm not really there right now. Didn't I mention that? I guess it must've slipped my mind." Damen laughed cruelly.
"You bastard!" Riku yelled, slicing down through the hologram.
"Now, now, that's not very nice. I may have to punish you."
"Why don't you come down here yourself you coward! …Or are you afraid you'll get beaten?" Sora mocked.
"Oh, now I must punish these naughty boys. Hope you enjoy hell." Damen said.
A flash of blue light appeared before the boy's eyes and then everything went black.
Sora-san: Aren't you people glad I decided to write longer chapters? Otherwise I would've ended it there!
Riku: You're sick.
Sora: Why do you have the same name as me?
Sora-san: Do you have a problem with my name? (revs chainsaw)
Sora: Uh n-n-n-n-n-no! I don't mind! It's fine! Just refer to yourself as Sora-san and me as Sora so it's not confusing!
Riku: Dude…you submit to her too easily.
Sora: Do you want me to die? (cries and points at chainsaw)
Riku: I guess not.
Sora: YOU GUESS?!?
Sora-san: Um…can I keep writing now?
Sora: Yes of course, sorry!
Riku: Wait a minute…she's actually asking us to stop? Oo
Sora-san: Do you have a problem with my need to write? (revs chainsaw)
Riku: NO! OF COURSE NOT! DO WHAT YOU WANT!
Sora: …And you said I submitted too easy?
Riku: Shut-up Sora.
Sora-san: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!?
Riku: SORA! NOT SORA-SAN, SORA!
Sora-san: Yeah, that's what I thought.
"Ugh…I'm so bored!" The girl who'd just spoken flopped back on her bed, her dirty blonde hair spreading around her. She was wearing a simple outfit: jeans and a grey t-shirt, nothing fancy. Her hazel eyes stared uninterestedly at the ceiling and she groaned again. 'What to do…? Oh! I know! I'll call Kuri-chan!' The girl thought, springing up and grabbing her phone, punching in the numbers. It rang twice before another girl answered.
"Hello?" a voice on the other end asked.
"Hello Kuri-chan!" the girl chirped.
"Oh my gosh—Yun-chan—hi! What's new?"
"I don't know I was just bored so I thought: 'I'll call Kuri-chan!'"
"Really? Yeah, I'm pretty bored myself…oh hey, you wanna come over?" Kuri asked suddenly.
"Eh?" Was Yun's confused reply.
"Well I mean I have to ask my mom and you still have to ask yours but…it should be ok…we're not really doing anything…And two bored people can entertain each other!"
"Oh that's good 'cause you need to see Resident Evil!" Yun exclaimed, quickly recovering from the suddenness of Kuri's request.
"Resident Evil?"
"Yes, Resident Evil! You know the game right?"
"Yeah I've played a little of Zero and Four." Kuri replied slowly, having to think about it for a moment.
"Well yes, this is a Resident Evil movie. It's so awesome—I've watched it like three times already!" Yun spazzed.
"Wow."
"Yes it's that awesome! You so need to see it!"
"Okay well…can I call my mom? I'll call you right back…" Kuri told her.
"Okay, yeah 'cause I need to ask my mom as well." Yun agreed.
"Okay, bye."
"Bye."
Kuri hung up her phone and sighed, brushing her long, dark brown hair behind her silver glasses. 'Ugh…I should just put it up…' She thought, grabbing a hair scrunchie and yanking her hair up into a loose ponytail. She almost always wore her hair like that—even in winter.
Kuri's crystal blue eyes danced from button to button as she called her mom. She pressed the phone to her ear and prayed her mom would say yes.
The results were mixed: Yun could come stay over…but not until the next day.
'Alone for another whole day…' Kuri thought sadly. 'I just wish I had someone to keep me company…'
No sooner did Kuri wish this than it was granted. Except it was in a way Kuri never would've expected. A way so unexpected it caused Kuri to scream. But then, who wouldn't scream if a boy fell out of the ceiling straight into their lap?
'Geez, I have to wait one more day? I'm so bored! I wish something exciting would happen…' Yun thought.
It happened so fast Yun didn't even have time to move. A boy fell from the ceiling and landed right on top of her—face planted in her boobs. Yun screamed and punched the boy so that he flew into a recliner next to the bed, then slammed downwards into a wooden floor.
Wondering what had just happened, Yun slowly peeked over the edge of her bed. The boy who was now sprawled on her floor was clearly unconscious and his long silver hair had spread around his head. Yun turned beet red as she realized what had just happened.
"Who…WHO DOES THIS PERVERT THINK HE IS?!'
After the five seconds of shock wore off, Kuri quickly pushed the boy off of her—his head hitting the corner of a table as he fell to the floor. Kuri put a finger to her mouth and peered down at the boy. 'He's actually…kind of cute.' She thought, blushing.
Kuri slowly got off the couch she'd been sitting on and knelt beside the stranger in curiousity. She noted his outfit was a lot more complicated then hers—a t-shirt and jeans suited her just fine. Slowly Kuri reached out a finger and poked the boy.
"Hello? Are you okay? Oh wait…I guess if you're unconscious you can't hear me…" She said, thinking aloud. "I wonder who this guy is…"
It took a few seconds for Kuri to realize how this situation would look to her parents: Her, alone in the house with an unknown guy…
"Crap!" Kuri cried, getting up and running around in circles frantically. "Oh, oh, I need to move him, but aren't you supposed to not move injured people? Um, um, um, WHAT DO I DO?!?" Kuri yelled, sinking back to the floor.
'I need to calm down…freaking won't help…' Taking deep breaths and choking back her panicked tears, Kuti set to work dragging the boy upstairs as carefully as possible. She was especially mindful of his head since she knew it was injured. Laying him on the carpet in her room she rushed downstairs to the fridge for an icepack.
She ran around the house like a rocket, nearly tripping over her own feet as she rushed into the kitchen, pulling an icepack out of the refrigerator with the force of a cannon. Kuri spun around, the freezer door closing behind her as she rushed down the hallway and up the stairs. This time she did trip, almost falling down the stairwell, but grabbing the railing just in time to catch herself. Letting loose a sigh of relief she pulled herself up, climbed the rest of the stairs, and greeted her new visitor by shoving the icepack under his head.
Kuri let out a deep sigh, flopping back onto the floor. 'Now what?'
"Now I want to kill this guy." Yun growled, glaring at the unconscious pervert on her floor.
"Yun-yun I'm home!"
Yun froze. Two huge issues had come to her attention: 1) The nickname she hated most was catching on, and 2) Her mom was home.
"Crap!" Yun yelled, leaping up and looking around frantically. Unceremoniously she shoved the boy into the first hiding place she saw: the closet.
"Yun-yun?" Her mom called.
"Mo----m! Stop calling me that!" Yun cried in exasperation.
"Oh, but you're always going to be my Yun-yun!"
Yun sighed, but she understood. The name annoyed her, but as long as it was her mom calling her that it was ok.
Closing the door behind her, Yun left her room and walked down the stairs into the kitchen to greet her mom.
"Hey mom." Yun said, giving her mom a hug.
"So, how was your day?"
The last five minutes flashed through Yun's head and she felt herself going red. "Um…N-nothing much…" 'Wait…that doesn't sound quite right.' "…Happened. Nothing much happened."
"Well that's nice. So what's with this sleepover all of a sudden?"
"No, no, just a little get together! After all I haven't seen her in a while and hey—it gets me out of your hair for a while."
"Yes that's true but you know I don't mind spending time with you." Her mom pointed out.
"But I wanna see Kuri! And you know I'll have fun—I always have fun with her!"
"Well this is…fun." Kuri said sarcastically, tossing a piece of hay into her rabbit's cage. The little brown bunny inside hopped over to the hay sniffing it as if to say, "This is it?"
Realizing her rabbit was hungry Kuri sighed and opened the cage door, tossing more hay in. The bunny immediately set to work munching on the food and Kuri closed the cage door up again, wiping her hands on her jeans. She was too lazy to go wash them at the moment.
"Unh…"
Kuri jumped at the sound of a groan from behind her and turned to see the boy stirring. She was half tempted to knock him unconscious again. 'After all…he might not be as peaceful when he wakes up…'
Slowly the boy's eyes opened, revealing that they were blue. He stared at the ceiling for a moment before sitting up.
"Careful! …You hit your head." Kuri said.
The boy jumped, whirling around to see her. For the first time they came face-to-face.
'Unh…my face feels like its been in a cooking experiment…' Riku thought, groaning. He attempted to stretch out, but found the space he was in too cramped for movement and too dark to see what blocked him. 'Ok…I'm used to the dark, but this tiny space is ridiculous!' Riku frantically searched for a way to open the only wall with a bit of light by it. All he found was a slippery, round orb. Turning it slowly he found the strip of light grew larger. Suddenly the door popped all the way open, thrusting Riku forward into the blinding light where he landed in something soft.
"YOU FREAKING PERVERT!" He heard before something connected hard with his face.
Riku staggered backwards, blinking to help his eyes adjust. When they did he found himself standing in a strange room with a girl he didn't even know glaring at him ferociously.
"What is with you and landing in my boobs?!?" The girl asked, "Do you have a death wish?!?"
"Wait…what?!?" Riku asked in surprise.
"Don't play dumb with me you pervert! Where do you get off appearing out of nowhere anyway?!?"
"Appearing out of nowhere?" Riku questioned, now completely clueless. "The last thing I remember was fighting Damen with Sora. Who are you anyway?!?"
"I should be asking you that." The girl replied, her eyes narrowing even further.
"Listen: I don't know what I did to offend you, but I'm really sorry. I…don't even know where I am right now and my best friend's missing."
At this the girl's eyes softened a bit. "Well then…you're truly sorry?"
"Yes."
"Then you'll just have to make it up to me somehow. Only then will I truly forgive you. Until then you can hide here, but if you get caught you're on your own."
"Uh…okay." Riku said slowly, wondering what this girl was talking about.
"Alright and since this is my house I get to ask first: Who are you?"
"My name is Sora."
"Sora…I'm Kuri. It's nice to meet you." Kuri told him, shaking his hand. 'I always feel weird shaking people's hands, but ignoring his hand would've been rude…'
"Um…"
"Huh?"
"…Thank you. You didn't even know who I was but you took care of me anyway."
'Even though some of his injuries are my fault?' Kuri wondered. "Um…your welcome."
"Say…can I ask you something?"
"W-What?"
"Where…are we?"
"Well…my house, Planet Earth?"
"Okay…uh…oh! Did you see another boy?!? One with silver hair?"
"No…It was just you." Kuri related, shaking her head. 'Thank god. If two guys had landed in my lap I just might've died…'
"Oh…"
"Why?"
"He's my best friend…we were fighting this guy and there was this bright flash of light…and then I woke up here." Sora explained.
"Um…right." 'This guy's clearly nuts…but I'd like to know how he fell out of my ceiling like that…'
"I…don't want to impose, but…do you have anything to eat?"
"Oh! Uh…sure. C'mon." Kuri said, leading him out of her room and downstairs to the kitchen.
"Let's see here…" Kuri thought aloud, opening the refrigerator door.
"Woh! How'd you do that?!?"
"Huh?"
"The light! How did you make the light?!"
"Huh? You mean…the light from the fridge?" Kuri asked.
"Is that what it's called…"
"Are you sure you're not supposed to be on some sort of medication?"
"Medication?"
"Yeah, you know: medicine."
"You mean like potions? I had to use some earlier but I don't think I need them right now—I'm not injured."
"Potions?!? What are you—some kind of video game character?"
"Er…video game?"
Kuri put down the items she'd been using to make sandwiches and stared at Sora in shock. "You can't be serious."
"Okay: this is Devil May Cry. Play this and keep quiet while I go distract my folks." Yun announced firmly.
"Er…how?" Riku asked.
"Just push the buttons it tells you to."
"Buttons?" Riku asked, staring at the strangely shaped object she'd handed him.
"You'll figure it out—it's not hard." 'With how stupid he seems it may actually be hard, but I won't tell him that…' Yun thought, flipping on her PS2 and moving to leave. When she saw Riku sitting in the recliner with his mouth wide open she rolled her eyes. 'At least he has good taste…'
Actually…that wasn't quite it.
Riku sat facing the screen and wondering how Yun made a person appear out of nowhere on the face of the black box. 'What kind of magic did she just use? This box is showing me various holograms now!'
"Now this is funny. You tried to send them to the shadow plane and sent them to a 'random planet' instead."
"Shut-up I know what I'm doing." Damen snapped.
His superior and mocker, Gyokoshu, shrugged and laughed. "Right. Sure you do."
"Ah but you're not looking at the big picture. That's why you think I've already lost. That's where you're wrong. The game is only just beginning."
