Kidnapped
I ran through the dark alleys of town with Hayate, my Siberian husky, running beside me. I ran with my twin swords in both my hands. What was I running after? Heartless. Dark shadows had over run Traverse town. I have lived here for almost eight teen years. I was seven teen turning eight teen in July and ever since I was twelve I've been training. Training so I would be able to take out the heartless.
I ran into the main square. And there it was, or rather there they were. A swarm of heartless. I braced myself and told Hayate "Be ready boy!" and then we ran. In a few swings of my twin swords all the heartless were gone. "Weaklings" I thought to myself. As I turned to walk away I heard the "swoosh" as more heartless appeared. I turned ready to fight, but I didn't see heartless. I saw a figure dressed in a black cloak with a hood up. I kept quiet; they didn't seem to notice me. "Who was that?" I asked. Hayate whimpered as if too tell me "I don't know."
Hayate walked by my side as we walked home. It was dark out. This was my routine every day. I fought heartless day and night. I couldn't kill them all in one day I needed to rest. Hayate and I approached the small steps to our house. As I entered I was greeted by Yuffie, my hidden ninja best friend. She was several years older than me and was the one who helped train me.
"Kicked some good ones today eh, Hikari?" she asked as I put my swords under my bed and threw myself onto the bed.
"Eh, they were all pretty weak." I said exhausted.
"They all seem to be 'weak' to you now!" she said as she approached my bed.
"Well, I had such a good teacher." I said closing my eyes and smiling.
"Shut it." She said catching my small joke. "But your right," she said her mood suddenly changing. "They all were pretty weak today. I wonder where the stronger bait wondered to."
"I don't know. But I guess it's not such a bad thing. We don't need them here. They aren't welcomed." I said as Hayate jumped into my bed and cuddled into my side. I stroked his head lightly and he fell asleep. I envied him. He could sleep. I couldn't. I would be too paranoid. Yuffie and I usually stood up to patrol. But that was only if we ran into some really strong Heartless. There were none today so Yuffie called it quits.
I lay in my bed thinking if this would ever end. Somewhere in the process, I fell asleep.
I woke up to low growling of Hayate in my ear. He was still asleep. I got up and readied myself for a long day of more fighting. I grabbed some clean clothes and headed for the shower. Yuffie wasn't up yet I could take my time.
I got out the shower refreshed and ready to fight. I was just about finished when I heard Hayate barking. I figured he was barking at Yuffie. But when I looked at the time, it was too early for her to be up.
"Hayate!" I screamed as I opened the door, and when I did I saw Hayate surrounded by heartless.
I ran out the bathroom and towards my bed for my swords. Grabbed them out from under the bed and swung them at the heartless. And just like that they disappeared.
"You okay, Hayate?" I said petting his head. He barked lightly and walked back to my bed. I threw my swords back under my bed. I knocked to see if we had awakened Yuffie. When she didn't answer her door I walked in and on her bed I found a note.
"Hikari, I left early meet me at Cid's.
-Yuffie"
I stuffed the note in my pocket and headed out.
"Come on Hayate, time to meet up with Yuffie." I said as I reached back under my bed for my swords and walked out the door.
Hayate and I walked toward the 1st district where we would find Cid's shop. A little of a walk considering we lived in the 3rd district. I walked expecting to run into some heartless, but not even one. I approached the steps to Cid's as Cid walked out.
"Hey, Hikari!" he said as he waved and stuck that toothpick he always had back in his mouth.
"Hey, Cid." I said as I approached the door.
"Yuffie is inside with some guy. Ya' probably never met 'em before."
"Thanks Cid." I said as I walked in to meet Yuffie.
"Hey, Hikari! This is Squall, I mean Leon." She said pointing to a tall, brown haired boy. He wore black jeans, a white wife beater (tank top), gloves, and a short jacket with fur on the collar and he held his sword, which mostly resembled a gun, over his shoulder. I was so busy examining his clothing that when I looked up at his face I didn't realized the scar that crossed it.
"Heartless." Was all he said as if to answer my mental question.
"Leon's home was overrun by heartless too." Said Yuffie matter-of-factly.
"Oh." Was all I could say.
"Leon comes here to stock up on things. He fights the heartless too." Said Yuffie. I started to wonder why he wasn't telling me this. It was all about him anyways. Yuffie continued to tell me about Leon. She had known him since she was little and he just ignored her, standing by the wall staring into space.
"Leon's real name is Squall Leonhart." Was just about all I heard when we all heard Cid scream from outside.
I grabbed my swords and with Hayate, Yuffie and Leon behind me went to go help Cid.
"About time ya' think?" Cid said surrounded by something that didn't look at all like heartless. They were white figures that moved wildly around. What were they? Were they a new kind of heartless? Whatever they were, they were fast. I ran toward Cid and they disappeared.
"Hikari, behind you!" yelled Yuffie. But it was too late; one of my swords went flying out of my hand. I swung my other sword toward the white figure but it disappeared. I was surrounded. I tried to swing my way through so I could reach my other sword. They were too fast. They would disappear and reappear so quickly.
"Hikari!" Yuffie screamed just as I turned around to see another figure and it knocked my other sword out my hand and I fell to the floor. The figure came closer and when it was about to attack it disappeared. I looked behind me to see Leon holding my swords out to me. I grabbed them and continued to fight. As I continued to fight from the corner of my eye I could see that cloaked figure. Was he the one causing this? Did he control them? Instead of striking these things I headed for the figure. But when I got to the corner, he was gone.
I turned back toward the battle, but it was over. I started to walk back over to where Yuffie, Cid and Leon waited.
"Hikari!" was all I heard Yuffie scream before I was taken over by darkness.
