[Conny] : Hello there! You know, I love Kingdom Hearts, even though I've been deprieved of it for what feels like years (it probably has been that long). I realized something. Naminé never really seems to have too major of a role in the stories. You noticed it too? Great! So you'll understand where I'm coming from! So now I've made Nami the heroine, isn't that great?
Anyway, you all understand I don't own Kingdom Hearts (but I totally wish I could have a chance to own it. I'd have amazing idea~). I hope you enjoy the story!
It's My Turn to Fight: Chapter 1
Sora, Riku, and Kairi were relaxing on the beach, after a long swim. Sunlight caressed their worn bodies, calming the teens. Kingdom Hearts was no longer on their minds. The Heartless and Nobodies in the distant past. Everything was back to how it used to be. The lazy and adventurous lifestyle of the island has returned to them.
"It's nice things are back to normal," Kairi sighed, happy she had sunglasses on. Her eyes were closed, imagining the places that she had visited long ago. It wouldn't be too impossible to visit those worlds again, would it?
"You could have just jinxed us, Kairi," Riku groaned, covering his eyes with his arm. She giggled, then sat up. The redhead looked to her right, seeing Riku shielding his eyes. His marble skin remained its ever-pure tone, he hasn't tanned at all. He's never burned either. She looked to her left, Sora was sleeping. His mouth was agape and his hair in his eyes. His chest was covered in salty sand, along with his black trunks.
"Sora, wake up." She poked his bare chest, hoping it would make him stir. He only twitched, the continued softly snoring.
"He's asleep?" Riku sat up, looking past his friend. However, his eyes did sneak a small glance to her bikini. It was like everything she owned was pink with white lace. It wasn't complaint to either Sora or Riku.
"Yup. Sora, come on." Kairi poked his face, which only made a really loud snore erupt from his lips. She giggled, unable to contain herself. She continued poking him, getting him to squirm and snore louder.
"Kairi, I have a plan." Riku leaned over, to whisper his brilliant plan in her ear. She grinned, liking the idea her silver haired friend came up with. Her fingers stopped touching him, and allowed Riku to carry out his dirty deed.
Sora! You idiot! Roxas was trying, desperately, to wake up his Somebody. If it weren't for being stuck within his heart, he would have Sora awake already. He just wasn't too sure if it would be through peaceful means or not.
"Riku, Naminé feels guilty. She says burying Sora is like burying Roxas to her," Kairi sighed, listening to her Nobody.
"Naminé, Roxas needs to learn how to take a joke. I think this is funny." Riku and Kairi were standing over Sora's sleeping, buried body. Only his face was uncovered, he was snoring rather loudly.
Kairi, Roxas is freaking out right now. Naminé really just wanted to wake Sora up, that way Roxas wouldn't be annoyed to death. Through her use of Kairi's eyes, she could see Roxas struggling to gain control somehow. He knew its impossible to do such a thing, but he still tried. She could hear the Nobody screaming profanity. All she could do was sigh.
"Naminé, it's all right. Besides, Sora will have to put up with his yelling." Kairi just realized she was talking aloud, so she turned to Riku and apologized. She was always embarrassed whenever she did this. Sora has even carried out agruements with Roxas, aloud, and everyone believed he was crazy.
"I kind of wonder what it's like to have another person in my head, but then again…" Riku shook his head, with an awkward laugh. Kairi giggled, her friend does have an odd laugh.
Sora, wake up right now! Kairi wants to make-out with you! Sora instantly awoke, and tired to sit up. That didn't really work.
"Hey!" Sora couldn't really move his limbs, them being covered in sandy weight and all.
"I can't believe you slept through that, Sor. It's really sad that you didn't notice the several pounds of sand on you," Riku mocked, smirking down on his friend.
"Get me out!" The brunette tried squirming out, but that didn't work at all. Riku was smart enough to use wet, heavy sand to do the job.
"All right," Kairi sighed, kneeling down next to the sand mound. She quickly scooped away the sand, with the help of Riku. After uncovering him, Sora pounced on silver haired boy. He knew full and well that it had to be Riku that came up with the idea of burying him, while he was asleep.
"You're mean!" The boys started wrestling, leaving Kairi out of this little fight. She watched them for a moment, taking a guess on who would win. Both were quite strong, and both have proved it before, but it would always be a debate.
"Yeah, but it's your fault for sleeping! If you weren't, I wouldn't have thought of that plan!" Kairi sighed, then looked out to the ocean. The water was a beautiful, endless blue. She could have continued looking out to the sea, if it weren't for Naminé wanting to talk.
I kind of wish I could be there with you. Watching the sea, actually seeing people… having them see me.
Kairi nodded, also thinking it would be nice to have her Nobody out here.
"Naminé, it would be wonderful to have you out here. You could go swimming with me. You could go shopping with me. We could just hang out, like normal girls. Besides, it would be nice to be away from the boys, every once in a while." Kairi looked over to her friends, seeing that Riku had won the wrestling match.
"Riku! Stop sitting on me!" Poor, Sora. Riku was sitting on his back. With his bulk of muscle, it must be a pain to have him pin Sora down.
"Admit defeat." Man, Riku was being cruel. He probably doesn't realize how much he weighs. Sora tried squirming his way out of this, but it just didn't work.
"I lost! You won!" The older teen got up and offered a hand to his friend. Sora stubbornly took it and hoisted himself up.
"Are you guys done? I want to get some sea-salt ice cream!" It was actually both Kairi and Naminé talking, but they only noticed afterwards.
Sorry, I'll try not to say much. Kairi was about to object, but Sora just had to distract her. He ran up to her, but tripped and fell.
"Ouch…" She started to laugh, as did Riku. Naminé, however, became very aware of a dark energy approaching.
Kairi… The Nobody wasn't heard over the laughing. She wouldn't dare shout, it wasn't in her nature. She tried getting Kairi's attention again, but nothing worked.
"Who are you?" Riku coldly asked. Kairi and Sora looked towards the direction their friend was glaring. A figure, draped in a glimmering white cloak, was standing a small distance away from the trio.
Kairi, this person. You have to get away. Naminé sensed an immense amount of magical energy from this person. Dark magical energy.
"You are the Keyblade Wielders, correct?" The voice, it was hard to determine if it were male or female. The face was impossible to see, having a hood disguising their features.
"If we are?" Riku cautiously retorted, feeling something was off. There was a sudden drop in the atmosphere, as this person drew closer. A small voice in the back of his head was screaming something he just didn't undestand.
"If you are, I need help. My world needs help." Sora immediately jumped into the conversation.
"Your world? What's wrong?" the brunette asked.
Sora, I don't trust this guy, Roxas warned Sora, but he didn't listen. Sora mentally retorted back, saying something along the lines of: You're always distrustful of people, Roxas.
"The core to my world is unstable. My people have found a way to stabilize it, but we need you to open the door to the heart of my planet. If you don't soon, it will fall apart and no one will live." Kairi looked to the boys, who looked like opposites.
Sora: "We should help!" face was in use.
Riku: "This person is really suspicious." face was in place.
"What is your home world called?" Riku asked, wanting more information. People of other worlds aren't really supposed to know about the inter-planetary travel and the pathes connecting all of the worlds. There are a select few that do know and some that rely on it, but this just seemed a little too strange.
"Nanimo. My people are highly advanced in technology, but it seems that even we couldn't find a way to open the door to our world's heart." None of them liked the tone this person was using. But that world was dying. They need to open the door and allow them to fix their problem before it's too late.
"Can we see your face?" Kairi asked, not liking the fact that this person's features were hidden. The cloak reminded her of Organization XIII. No one wants to really look back to those times.
"Why, of course." Slowly raising their hands, the person then eased the hood off. Even the face didn't help with deciding the gender. Moonlight skin was revealed, golden eyes shown, and choppy blond hair framed the face. "My name is Mu. I'm sorry for not introducing myself sooner."
"It's all right," Kairi said, relieved that he didn't look evil. She actually thought that the person was sort of cute.
Looks are deceiving, Naminé whispered, hoping Kairi was listening.
"We must hurry. Nanimo is nearing its end." Mu turned around, heading down the beach.
"Sora, I know you like helping people… but this person…" Riku was about to continue, but Sora started to run after the mysterious person. He growled under his breath, fists clinched.
"Riku, if this turns out bad, we can make our way out of it." Kairi knew they'd be able to handle that much.
Kairi, don't trust this person! It's not safe! Naminé was desperately trying to make the redhead to turn away. But it was too late, the trio were already boarded on the advanced looking Gummi Ship.
"How far away is your world?" Sora practically whined. He seemed a little restless, being cooped up in the ship. It's been a long time since he was on board a ship, especially for so long.
"It's a day's journey. You should sleep." Riku found that last statement very suspicious, but Sora just happened to start snoring in his chair.
"I am a little tired," Kairi yawned, slouching into her chair. She had tugged at her dress, which she had slipped on before they left.
"Night." Riku stayed awake, not trusting this person. Kairi was sound asleep within minutes.
Kairi, stay awake. Please. Naminé's plea wasn't answered. Only light snores could be heard. A good thing about being inside another person is that you are still aware of everything around you, while they may not. She could see Riku, shooting daggers at the back of Mu's head. She could see the deep black of the universe around them, and she can see the worlds they were passing.
"Mu, how do you know your planet's heart is unstable?" Turning around slightly, Mu met Riku's cold gaze.
"As I said before, my world is highly advanced in technology. There has been tremors, coming from deep within the planet. We took an x-ray of the inside of the planet, and we noticed it's core was crumbling. My people have created this machine, that will keep the core from completely falling apart. It'll eventually begin repairing it, after it has regained stability." Riku still didn't like how this person was speaking. It's like the heart of the planet was being called a malfunctioning machine, when it's absolutely not such.
"And you need us to open the door to the heart of your world, so that machine of yours would be put to use." Riku had this nagging voice in the back of his head, telling him he needs to turn this ship around and go back home with his friends. That couldn't happen, not while Mu was in the driver's seat.
"I'm thankful you three are coming all this way to my planet. My people will find a way to repay you." This person just seemed too polite, too unsuspicious, to be innocent. Mu was practically screaming, I'm a bad guy! Attack me!
"There's no need to repay us." Riku's eyes noticed Mu pushed a button, and it read Auto-Pilot.
"Oh, but there is." Mu turned around, with an evil smirk. "Sleep." A gold mist clouded Riku and his napping friends. He tried not to breathe in the smoke, but it seeped into his skin.
"What…?" Riku was struggling to stay conscious, forcing his eyes to remain open.
"Because of you and your friends, the end of the inferior species will come sooner than my people hoped." The silver haired boy feel asleep, but not until he was able to mutter a few words.
"We… won't… help…"
Sora! Sora! Come on! You have to wake up! Roxas was hopelessly yelling to Sora. Nothing would wake him, nothing.
Kairi! Please, I beg of you, snap out of it! Naminé pleaded with her sleeping Somebody, as well. It was the same result. The two of them knew what was happening, but were completely helpless. Sora, Kairi, and Riku were being shackled. Mu had cast a spell to keep them in a deep slumber, which could only be broken by another spell.
"I'm such a brilliant liar. Master will be proud that I've captured the Keybladers." Both Nobodies questioned the words of their friends' kidnapper.
Master? None of what's going on made sense to the Nobodies. Naminé understood that they were under a spell, but it was doubtful that Roxas did. They both heard what Mu had said, before Riku fell asleep.
Inferior species? What does this guy mean by that? Roxas was furiously thinking over that statement, also screaming in hopes to wake Sora.
What does this mean? What does the Keybladers have to do with whatever their plan is? Naminé was trying to stay calm, but ended up subconsciously following the other Nobody's example. She paced back and forth on the stained glass, pondering aloud.
"Finally, we've arrived." It was supposed to be a day long trip, but this ship was much more advanced than previously thought. What took a normal ship a day took this ship mere hours. There was a small thud, that shook the ship a little. The Keybladers bodies limply shook, completely unfazed by what's going on around them. The side door opened, to a person wearing a white cloak, much like Mu's.
"I see your mission was a success, Mu." It was clearly a female's voice. She was quite tall, compared to her short, cold-hearted companion.
"It was, Nashi. Though, the big one almost caught on." Mu pointed over to Riku, who was scowling. Even if he slept, it was like he knew what was going on around him.
"He's cute. Even though he's a little scary, but I like it." Nashi put down her hood, revealing tawny skin, sapphire eyes, and pure black hair. Her hands pulled out her tresses, revealing the waves that ran to her waist.
"You disgust me, Nashi." Mu had a look of pure repulsion etched into his fair face. He refused to be jealous of such scum because of Nashi's playful tone towards the creature.
"It's all right, Mu. You are the one I truly think is adorable." Nashi hugged him, then kissed his cheek. He pushed her away, not wanting to waste time. Her sapphire eyes watered a little, but blinked away their glassiness.
"Enough. Let's get these second-rate beings into their cages." Mu raised his hands, both glowing a light gold. The shackled Keybladers were floating in the air, having that same colored mist surrounding their limp beings.
"Shall I go tell Master you've returned with the keys?" Mu didn't bother to speak; it was an obvious answer. Nashi stepped out of the doorway, allowing Mu and his captives to get out.
Kairi… be ready to run.
Naminé was holding back. She was waiting for this. "Awaken!" Kairi's eyes opened, wide with surprise. "Null!" Kairi dropped to the ground, making Mu turn around.
"How?" he shouted, but couldn't do anything. He was busy holding Sora and Riku in the air, to be able to stop Kairi. He couldn't lose his concentration all because of one escape artist.
Run! Naminé yelled, commanding Kairi's legs to run.
"Stop, girl!" Nashi ran after the redhead, while Mu was struggling with what he should do. He knew his friend would handle getting one person, so he took Riku and Sora into the castle ahead of him.
Kairi, don't stop running! That girl is right on our tail! The Nobody was completely serious, almost like a military general. Kairi obeyed, willing herself to speed up.
"Naminé, what's going on?" The redhead couldn't help but feel nervous. She's all alone right now.
Mu, he's evil. He was planning on use the three of you for some plan. I guess all three of you are needed, in order for it to work. Shaking her head, the blonde balled her fists. I tried telling you! I really did! If only Riku figured it out sooner and stopped everyone!
"Naminé, please stop shouting!" Suddenly, something whistled past Kairi's ear. Panic rose within the girl, and fatigue was starting to settle in.
Kairi! Get outside the castle perimeter! If we make it out to the city, you'll be safer!
Another thing whistled past Kairi, only making her more alarmed.
"Stop running, girly," Nashi said, using her teasing voice. A game of cat and mouse was just what the spell-caster was waiting for. Shaking her head, the girl kept going. "Fine, have it your way!" Naminé stiffened, sensing a rise in mana energy.
Kairi, please hurry!
"Sleep dagger!" A dark blue knife appeared in Nashi's hand. She aimed, knowing her weapon would hit her target. Throwing it, the knife embedded itself in Kairi's lower back.
"No…!" She fell to the ground. Kairi's eyes closed, making her fall into a sea of unconsciousess. The last thing she witnessed was white heeled shoes stopping before her.
Kairi! No! This can't be happening! Naminé couldn't risk anything. If Kairi were awaken again, it'll only get worse. Half of the blade was in her lower back, drawing out blood.
"Good girl. Now, it's time to go to your cage." A sapphire mist surrounded Kairi, lifting her into the air. The knife faded away, but the wound didn't seal.
Kairi… I can't do anything now, but when you're safer… Just wait, please.
[Conny]: Need some explanation with the underlined and italics? Well, the underlined are spells and it was for my own sake while I was writing. The italics were just so that I could distinguish between thoughts and words. Roxas and Naminé can't truly speak while inside the minds of Sora and Kairi, so they're dialogue is also in italics. Anyway, what do you think? I'll try to update this story, but only if you the reader will also be the reviewer. You just need to leave a small comment, is that too much to ask for?
