I was in homeroom talking to a few of my classmates. When my best friend/adopted sister runs through the door with her long hip length pink hair flying and big emerald eyes all bright and excited. I raise a blonde brow at her and my own jade green eyes perked with curiosity.
"Yes, Mikuru?" I asked. Her petite body bounced and I knew it was something good.
"Come with me Keera! I found something amazing!" She practically squealed. I laughed and looked at the clock. I had 15 minutes before homeroom; I decided why not then left with her. Mikuru and I are the same height which is kinda short 5'.3" and we both have petite figures though hers has more curves and I have a smaller bosom. Her hair is to her hips and pink and mine is to the middle of my back and blonde. We both have green eyes but mine are jade and hers are emerald. We arrived at a tree with a swirling portal at its base. My eyes go big and I get excited. I've always wanted to go on an adventure and this was my chance. I grabbed Mikuru's arm and started towards the base of the tree. "W-what? No! Keera! We can't! We don't know what's on the other side!" She squealed. I sighed Mikuru was timid and girly, she didn't share my love for danger but I ignored her and jumped through the portal dragging her with me.
We fell into darkness and screamed then landed on a stained glass circle it was purple and dark blue and an eerie green and black castle was on it. I gasped and looked at Mikuru. The whole circle was eerie and dark. Then it glowed and the glass shattered. We fell through nothingness again and landed with a thud on another stained glass circle with a girl that had pink/white hair and ruby eyes in the picture. A sword, a shield, and a staff were on podiums in front of us. I had serious De JA Vu coming on and went to the shield it called to me. It looked like a plastic toy and when I equipped it onto my left arm it was light and flimsy. Mikuru had a toy staff in her hands. Then this glass broke and I thought I heard someone say something mystical but I couldn't hear what it was. We were free falling again and I blacked out.
I landed with a thud and groaned then opened my eyes. I had a silver cloak with a hood on over my jeans and layered white and red tanks. The shield I grabbed was still attached to my arm and I was in a dark eerie forest with dead black trees and gray grass. The sky was red with black clouds and shadows surrounded me. I shivered and looked for Mikuru she was just waking up, I ran over to her. "Mikuru?" I asked her. She blinked at me. "Keera? I just had this crazy… It wasn't a dream…" She whimpered the last part. I smiled at her. "I won't let anything happen to you okay?" I told her. We were the same age (17) but Mikuru was a bit of a scaredy cat. We both walked to a clearing and in the middle of it was a giant weeping willow tree with skinny bare branches and it was a dark gray color. The air was smoggy and all of a sudden the tree came alive. Mikuru screamed as a series of branches came at us. I pushed her behind me and held up my flimsy plastic shield. The branches bounced off and the tree made a hissing noise. Mikuru was caught by one of the branches. She screamed and I gasped. "I'll save you Mikuru!" I called. The tree zapped her and I saw it sapping her energy. She screamed again and I didn't know what to do. "MIKURU!" I screamed and held up my shield as the branches came at me again. A blinding white light emitted from my right palm and the tree hissed in pain pulling its branches back. I blinked. Did I do that? Then two boys came running from the woods. Not just any boys Sora and Riku from Kingdom Hearts I screamed a little on the inside and held back my inner Riku fan girl. "Are you okay?" Sora asked. I nodded afraid if I spoke I would scream and then I heard Mikuru scream. "Mikuru!" I remembered she was in danger and ran at the tree I threw up my hood and held my right palm out and tried to remember the sensation of the white light that flew from my palm. It attacked the tree again and the tree shrank back and dropped Mikuru, my shield transformed and turned into a slightly heavy metal shield with a white gold sun in the center white gold triangles were around the sun and then long streaks of gold wove themselves to the outer edge of the shield. The edge was a ring of red steel. I hopped on it and like a sled and skied down the slight hill and caught Mikuru I sighed in relief and she hugged me then we crashed into the base of the tree. I got us off my shield at the last second and put it over us as all the branches came down on top of us. Then Riku ran in and pulled us out. I looked at the tree aimed my shield at it and focused a huge blast of light energy out of my shield to the tree. The symbols on my shield glowed and then the light flashed and hit the tree full blast. The tree turned into a beautiful huge weeping willow and the land around us came alive with light and color. The air cleared and the sky turned blue with white fluffy clouds. I panted and put my hands on my knees. Sora and Riku ran up to us.
"You conquered the gate of darkness in this area…" Sora said in awe and Riku just stared at Mikuru and I.
