I co-wrote this with Meilin. Yes, we put ourselves into the fic. Why not? Meilin claims that she has an anime marriage to Riku, but I haven't seen it yet; and my favorite movie is Nightmare Before Christmas, so if you don't like it... I'll track you down and cut off your head! Muhahaha... -cough- blehg. -clears throat- I'm listening to a Disney tape... so don't be surprised if I start making someone sing one of them. Well - I'm babbling on and I'm sure I'm boring you to death, so on with the story!
Jack: Why am I here? Where's my house?
Schweppes: Ummm... I'll explain that later. He he. Oh, and I think that I should add that the name is Toxicity because this was the song I was listening to when I was thinking of the title, I don't think the fic will have anything to do with the title.
Summary: It is based off of Kingdom Hearts (as you would have guessed by now) the main characters are Schweppes, Meilin, Jack, Riku (from his POV), Sora, and Kairi. The other semi-main characters will come later. I can tell you them when they come I guess. I'm just thinking of this when I'm typing, so don't yell at me if I don't do it. Or, how Jack came in now, I can make other people join the party in the note things. Then my notes will become the fic and the fic will become the notes. I have another idea; I'll make a sight or put up things leading to the sight that has pictures of the stuff that I'm talking about. I'm blabbing too much, so OFF WITH HER HEAD, ummm, I mean, ON WITH THE FIC!
Disclaimer: We do not own Kingdom Hearts or Nightmare Before Christmas, or System of a Down's Toxicity, enough said.
NOTES: (AN), "talking" (duh!), 'thinking', -action-
Toxicity
Chapter One: Destiny Island
'It's been at least two years and Sora still won't talk to me. Kairi visits me all the time, she tries to comfort me, and it hasn't been going so well. Life's not the same without my best friend by my side. We used to do everything together. I always did beat him at the fighting, but he was better at the races. I think that he liked Kairi. How can Sora still be mad at me after all these years? It wasn't even my fault!'
--Flashback--
"Sora is against you. He'd rather be with Donald and Goofy than with you and Kairi. He's turned on you both, doesn't care about you at all!"
Those hateful words had been spoken by Maleficent. I paid attention, believed every word. I just stood there as I grew really bitter and started to hate Sora for forgetting us, for forgetting Kairi and I.
-Blurryness-
The surroundings had suddenly turned red, I was feeling darker by the second, slipping to the side of the heartless. And soon enough I will be able to control them.
"Muhahahahaha! With you on our side, we can defeat Sora!" more evil laughter from Maleficent.
--End Flashback--
The flashbacks swam around in my head; I remember all the reasons that I went against Sora, one by one.
--Flashback--
"Why are you here!" I spat at the Beast.
He looks at me, "I came here to get Belle."
"How did you get here, you have no ship!"
"My heart brought me here, bound to Belle."
I don't buy this nonsense. Without realizing it, I have casted a dark spell and almost kill him. Sora gets in the way.
"Riku, stop it! Now!"
"Oh look, it's Sora. This all ends here Sora; there can't be two keyblade masters!"
"WHAT?"
I zap the keyblade out of Sora's hand and into my own.
"This is what, Sora."
"But I'm the one who flew all the way here with it!"
"You were just a delivery boy." I give him that wooden sword we used to play with back at Destiny Island, "Why don't you have your little adventure with this for a while?"
Sora gave me a look of pure hatred.
"Let's go Goofy," was Donald's response.
"But what about Sora?" Goofy seemed he didn't want to leave his new friend.
All of a sudden Sora collapsed on the ground, crying. 'Such a wus.'
"Remember our mission, Goofy, we have to follow the keyblade," Donald reminded.
"Sorry Sora," then Goofy and Donald followed me out.
--End Flashback--
-Sigh- 'I don't remember anything else after that. If only Sora would just talk to me! He's still mad that I was on the side of the heartless. I guess it was my fault... yes, my entire fault. If only I could stand up to Maleficent and... and just TRY to restrain.'
"Riku, why are you crying?" It was Kairi's voice. I jump back, I'm sitting on the log out-looking the water. I almost fell in. Instead I fell on my ass.
"Are you OK, I didn't mean to startle you. But why were you crying?"
"It's ok Kairi, I'm f... fine."
"No you're not! Tell me what's going on!"
I sigh, "It's Sora."
"Not again. You're never gonna let this go, are you?"
"It was my fault Kairi! I should have never listened to Maleficent! If I didn't give in, everything would be better. Sora would still be my friend and he'd probably thank me for helping him save the rest of the worlds from the heartless. If I didn't turn into a heartless myself, then I would have helped him in the battles, not the other way around, helping the evil side. I should of died back then, I should have let Sora just kill me!"
"You couldn't restrain. Maleficent was just too powerful. And you didn't die, you're safe here, back on our island."
"It's still my fault and Sora hates me."
"Don't you dare think like that! You know Sora still likes you, he's just a stubborn bastard. Too stubborn to even come over and ask his BEST friend for forgiveness. He doesn't even know that I see you every now and then, if he did... well... he'd probably disfriend me too," with that she left.
Depressed as usual, I go to the secret spot and start carving the rocks. There's a big light and I hear a boom from outside. I run out of the cavern and find someone standing under the waterfall.
"What the fuck?"
She's a girl. She had brown shoulder length hair, and hazel eyes. She was wearing a black t-shirt and some baggy blue jeans. 'Humph. At least her clothes are from the same time period and not from the 1200's.' (I forget what I meant by that)
"Riku, do you know her?" Sora asked.
"No, but glad to see you're talking to me."
"Humph," he didn't bother doing anything else, but stare at the newcomer.
"Wait... what's that?"
The girl spoke, "Oh, that... heh, it's my keyblade... or that's what I think it's called."
"YOU HAVE THE KEYBLADE!" they all said it in unison.
She just burst out laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world, "Sorry about that. Well, yes, I have the keyblade. Oh, by the way, my name is Schweppes."
"That looks like the Pumpkinhead, I wonder where the real one is," Sora, worrying about his keyblade. 'Don't blame him.'
"How am I supposed to know?"
"How'd you get here?" I just had to ask.
"Ummm... I fell down that waterfall."
"You do know there is a door," Sora told her.
"If I didn't just end up here out of nowhere... hey... where did I come from?" sweatdrop.
The classic anime fall.
"Can I see that keyblade? It used to be mine you know," Sora stated. 'He's so greedy.'
"Well - it's mine now!" she stuck out her tongue.
"No, MINE!"
"MINE!"
"MINE!"
"NOT!"
"SO!"
"NOT!"
"SO!"
Kari's whispering to Riku, "This could go on for a while."
"Then let's go to the old raft and see if it still works."
"OK."
A sigh of relief. 'Sora and the Schweppes person are still arguing while me and Kari are ABOUT to walk off. Things don't always go as you hope.'
"Hey, where are you guys going?" Schweppes butted in. 'I can tell that she's a nosey one.'
"We WERE about to check on the raft so we can go to the other worlds... that is if it works this time," I snap at her.
"Don't need to be so mad. I'll leave you two alone."
Sora quickly comes between Riku and Kari, "She's MINE!"
I roll my eyes, "Fine."
All of a sudden ANOTHER girl comes from the waterfall... lights and all. This girl has longer brown hair... wears clothes a lot like Kari's but doesn't look much like her.
"Schweppes, wait next time!"
"Gee, Meilin, next time don't take an hour to go somewhere! Hey, why are you here with me if you weren't there when I came. I know why I came... wait... no, I don't," sweatdrop.
We all stand there with our mouths wide open and another classic anime fall.
"I came because I'm one of the princesses of heart. Maybe you are too! You don't remember anything, like me, from where you came from and stuff like that," Kairi mentioned to them, enlightened for a moment. 'Of course she'd come up with something like that.'
And an outburst from Meilin, "Oooo! We came from Earth, North America, the United States, the state of New York, New York City!" she nodded, proud to remember and Schweppes doesn't.
"Ummm... Ok, what can we call that for short?" Sora repeated, completely baffled.
"Just New York or NYC."
"New York, hmmm. Why is it new?"
"Don't know, don't care."
"OK,at least I know the name, but nothing about it. Tell me later, if you remember," Schweppes wasn't anxious to get a lecture.
Meilin just sighs and says, "By the way, I got one of those key things too... I just sat on it."
Everyone sweatdropped at that moment in time.
And that's it for now, not much else to say. I'm rather tired. School starts in two days... I'm not looking forward to that. (Futuristic author notes: this was written 2 years ago)
Meilin: Yeah... and if you hate this, feel free to tell us! Then tell us what you think needs to be fixed, if you ask me, a lot of it.
Schweppes: This isn't one of my favorite fics.
Jack: Ok then, now can you get me out of here? I was busy back home; I would like to continue what I was doing.
Schweppes: No, you'll have to stay here and read the story like the rest of them.
Jack: Grrrr. Well, now that you read it, at least review.
