Disclaimer: Do not own Kingdom Hearts series, sadly. If I did I'd be rich and I'd—you get the point, don't you?
"Yumi, wake up." I rolled over onto my stomach, and sighed. Man, that silver-haired boy was a good fighter. The downside was that I had forgotten to get his name…
"Yumi!" Yes, he certainly was. I wonder if he had a brother for my loud older sister…
"YUMI!" Now, that one was not something I expected: my sister yelling-no, screaming-my name in my ear. I sat up and winced.
"You know, most people would hit their sisters with a pillow in order to wake them up," I griped, rubbing my ear. Hey, I was fifteen years old-I like sleeping. Hana didn't move.
"You're going to be late for your Mastery exam," she responded simply, throwing my clothes at me.
"No, I'm not going to be late, I'll be—" I was cut off when Miyuki pointed at the clock. "Crap! You're right! I will be late!" I pushed Hana out of my room, while yelling, "Tell Master Iwao I'll be there in ten minutes!" I really had to rush, so no going over last minute things or eating breakfast for me. I shoved on my clothes, brushed my teeth and hair, and sprinted down to the examination hall. Total time? Nine minutes and fifteen seconds. Ha. I beat the time limit.
Hana was sitting next to Master Iwao, looking bored. I knew that Eiji (whenever he got here) would be versing me for the second part, but I still didn't know what I had to do for the first.
Eventually, about five minutes after I came, Eiji ran in, looking even more crumpled than me. Master Iwao was finally able to begin the tests.
"Eiji, Yumi," he started. "Both of you have worked long and hard to achieve your goal, but you still are one step away. Both of you might pass, or neither. But remember one thing. No matter what, win or lose, notice that you are not the same people you are when you first walked into this building five years ago. You have both changed-physically, and mentally.
"Now, are both of you ready? Then let the exam begin!" I summoned my Keyblade, First Spring, to my hand. The warm weight of it calmed me down, as Master summoned the first part of our exam. We had to fight off balls of light. It was too easy. Eiji and I were done in seconds.
Now, for the second part. We had to duel each other. I turned to Eiji with a smile on my face. "Ready to lose?" I asked as slid into my battle stance.
"Not a chance. How 'bout you, runt?" he responded, holding his Keyblade, High Tail, like a shield. Master gave the signal, and our duel began.
I slid away from Eiji's first attack with ease, while he wasn't so lucky with mine. It went on, and on, with one of us being in the lead, but never equally matched…until right at the end. Both of us flew out with our most powerful…and both of us slid away. Master clapped his hands, signaling that the exam was over. Both of us stopped and faced towards him, panting. A smile was across his face.
"Well done," he said. "I knew that both of you would have great power one day, and I now I believe it. You have passed." Eiji and I suddenly didn't care that we were supposed to act mature now that we were fully Keyblade Masters. Oh no. We just danced and high-fived and hugged, until a chilly echo from my sister silenced us.
"It is time," she said in a voice unlike her own. "The Organization's last member has finally been resurrected, and our control for Kingdom Hearts begins."
"H-Hana?" I asked. "What are you doing?" She ignored me.
"And now, I, Number XIV, Naxha (A/N: pronounced na-SHA with the 'x' being pronounced like Xion's) will now begin the day where Organization XIV shall divide and conquer!" Nobodies came for Eiji and Master, and when I tried to run to them, a cavern opened up in the floor. I managed to grab onto a ledge before I fell, but then Hana walked up to the edge, and put one foot on one of my hands.
"Hana, stop it. Whatever practical joke you're doing, just stop," I begged. What had gotten into my sister?
"And now," Hana smiled, "we're going to see if Yumi can fly like an arrow or not." She stepped on my fingers, hard, and I screamed and let that hand drop. She moved to my other hand.
"No, Hana, please!" I begged. "You know you don't want this, just listen to your heart!" A flash of pain slid across her face.
"I don't have a heart, Yumi," she said, as she applied more pressure on my right hand. "I'm a Nobody. Didn't you get that already?" She pressed hard enough to force me to let go, and I was falling, into black nothingness. My black hair whipped all around me, and I screamed as I fell. It's natural instinct, right? However, I eventually hit something, because the force of it forced me to black out.
I eventually came around to the sound of the sea. My mind, always being a little slow to put two and two together, didn't really respond until three or four minutes later. My thoughts? That's weird. Master never placed us near the ocean, except that one time when we had to go and visit the other worlds. I also heard someone's-a boy's-crow.
"Hey, I think she's coming around!"
"Sora, number one, shut up, and number two, give her some space to breathe. She won't wake up if idiots like you are hovering around her."
"Aw, Riku." My eyelids fluttered open. Where was I? I was at a beach-but it wasn't where Lilo and Nani lived. Two boys were kneeling next to me, one with brown spikey hair, and the other with long silver hair that fell in his eyes. My heart fluttered a little bit-he was the boy from my dream. The one whose name I had forgotten to ask…
"Hey," the brown-haired boy asked. "You okay?" I groaned a little.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine. As fine as you can be when after you become a Keyblade Master, it turns out your sister is a Nobody, Number XIV, in fact, and she creates a cavern in the floor that you fall into, and land here," I said, sitting up. I was quite sore from the impact-why hadn't I thought to activate my armor? Idiot!
"Your sister is a member of Organization XIII?" the silver-haired boy asked.
"Well…I guess she isn't really my sister anymore," I commented. I thought it would be polite to introduce myself. "Anyway, I'm Yumi, youngest Keyblade Master ever, as of…" I paused, as I had no idea how much time had passed. "As of sometime ago. Anyway, who are you two?" The brown-haired boy stood up.
"I'm Sora, and I control the Kingdom Key," he said, summoning his Keyblade into his hand. He was the legendary one? But he didn't really seem the type…surely it would fit the silver-haired boy better?
"I'm Riku," Riku said from his position next to me. "I control the Way to the Dawn…and I swear I had a dream about you last night."
A/N: Yeah, this chapter is crappy, I know. It will get better later on, promise. And remember to review…lest you want Maleficent after you.
