A/N: A new story~ I just had to get this one off of my mind so I can update my other stories~ ^^". I'll try to update every KH, TF, and crossover story I have!
I'm not sure about calling this story as a crossover because I'm using my OC, but they're mentions of KH in other chapters… So at the mean time, I'll just call this as a normal ^^
I think that KH don't do romance because it's an adventure/fantasy/friendship. Unless of course, it's an AU. So that's my reason why I put this story as a normal to J/C/HnKnA ^^
Explanations about KH are at the other A/N if you're not familiar with the game ^^

Mission 1
Down the Rabbit Hole
3=~x~X~x~=E
The sun was shining brightly with a gentle warm breeze beneath the cloudless sky of Radiant Garden. A brunette was sleeping peacefully underneath the shade of an oak tree. It was one of the only places where she could sleep peacefully. The place was somehow deserted by the citizens and there was no Heartless lurking around to kill her. The secret garden is what she called it. The garden was located near the edge of town, the place where people would usually avoid because they thought it was dangerous. Truly, it's not that dangerous.
The brunette lay on the cool grass as the wind kept on blowing gently, carrying leaves and flower petals to the air. A hand reached up its way to her forehead covering her eyes slightly as she began to open them slowly. The sunlight was still too bright for her—even though she was under the shade of the oak tree. She groaned quietly as she tried to go back to sleep. A silhouette came into view as it was seen above her.
"Geez! I never thought you'll still be lazing around, Hikari!" The silhouette giggled softly as she smiles down at the sleeping brunette.
"Wha—," The dazed brunette named Hikari began, not even finishing her sentence when the silhouette became clearer as her vision focused. Her eyes widened in surprise and shock as she was startled by the sudden appearance. "KAIRI! What—how—when did you get here?!" she jolted up into a sitting position, scrambling away from the red-haired teen.
Kairi giggled as she crouched down with a smile on her face. "I've been here since five minutes ago, you lazy bum!" She said, another giggle escaping her lips. Bright ocean blue eyes were seen as she looked at the startled brunette. "You were just too sleepy to even realize I was standing there! By the way, you missed another meeting." She continues, the soft smile still not leaving her lips.
Hikari grinned sheepishly as she scratched the back of her neck. "Whoops... Looks like time really do fly when you're sleeping under an oak tree!" She joked a little, looking over nervously at her red headed friend. She earned a laugh after her lame excuse. "What did I miss?" She asked.
Kairi cocked her head to the side with a finger on her chin. "Hmmm," she hummed, thinking over the meeting. "Nothing much really… Cid just updated his Claymore, Leon wants to make Sora a bit more serious about meetings, and Riku's mad that you missed out on the meeting." She said.
Hikari gulped as her face losses color. "R-Riku's MAD?! He isn't mad now, is he? Because I'm totally dead if he's mad right now! He's probably looking for me now! Hide me Kairi! Don't let him find me! I don't want to go back scrubbing the whole castle with my toothbrush!" The brunette whines.
The red-haired teen laughed full-heartedly. "Don't worry, Hikari," She placed a comforting hand on the panicked brunette's shoulder. "Riku wouldn't do that now, right? We've been friends since we were little. I'm sure he'll never force you to clean the whole entire castle with your toothbrush." She smiled.
"Oh no! You're wrong, Kairi! Really, really, really wrong!" Hikari screamed, placing both her hands on her head as she paces around. "The last time I pissed him off, he force me to clean the whole castle and the whole town! It took me all day to get rid of the trash around! Especially when he hired someone to throw them!" she frantically screamed.
Kairi sighed with a small smile, "That's because you've 'doodled' on his face and tied his hair in pigtails. You know that he's sensitive when it comes to faces and hairs." She said.
Hikari grinned proudly. "Well… it was one of my best works." She said as she puffed her chest out. After a few seconds, she snapped back to reality. A loud sigh escape her lips as she slumps down to the grassy ground, rubbing the back of her neck. "Man… I'm so dead…" She mumbled under her breath.
"Yeah… you're so dead," A voice said from behind the two girls. The two girls turned around and found a silver-haired teen, standing with his arms crossed above his chest. The glare he was giving to the brunette was enough to make her scoots away from him to hide behind the red-haired teen. A sigh escaped from the silver-haired lips as he rubbed his temples. "What am I going to do to you, Hikari? You're just as lazy as your brother." He said, shaking his head.
"Hey! I'm not as lazy as he is!" Hikari argued as she pointed a finger at the taller teen.
The silver-haired teen smirked, "Oh really? At least he attended today's meeting," he said, a shock expression was seen on Hikari's face as she heard her brother attended a meeting. A meeting that he usually avoids! "Well… even though he slept through the whole meeting. At least he came." The silver-haired teen continued.
Kairi laughed nervously, "C'mon, Riku… no need to be so uptight." She began as she sweat-dropped, placing her hands in front of her. "Hikari's just too tired to attend the meeting, I'm sure she didn't mean to miss out on the meeting, right Hikari?" She turned to the brunette.
The brunette quickly nodded her head, "Yeah! Pleeeeese, Riku? Let me off with another warning?" She folded her hands together as she did her best puppy-dog-eyes look on Riku. It didn't work with Leon or Cloud, but it did work on her brother, Sora. Maybe if she tries harder, it would work on Riku too. "Kairi also said that it wasn't that important!" she pouted.
A visible vein popped on Riku's forehead as his lips twitched in annoyance. "Well… I was going to let you out with another warning, but… since you said that…" He trailed off, placing his hand on his chin, thinking.
Hikari's eyes widened, thinking that he was actually thinking of a punishment. "NOOOO! Please Riku! I didn't mean for it to slip out! Please! I'll do anything except clean the castle and the town!" she pleaded with tears whelming up her eyes.
"Okay," Riku smiled as he turned to the brunette. He wasn't going to punish her, but she insisted for a punishment. "How about traveling around the Lanes in Between? You want to travel around again, right?" He asked.
Hikari blinked a few times. "Really?! I can go travel around the worlds again?! Yay! You're the best Riku! I almost thought that you would ask me to rub your stinky feet or something!" She hugged the taller teen by his knees.
Riku's eye twitched as he scowled. "What was that?" He growled.
Hikari paled as Kairi laughed nervously. "N-Nothing! It was nothing! I just said that I—uh was afraid that you would ask me to—um —uh rub Cid's! Yeah Cid's stinky feet!" She corrected herself as she scratched the back of her head. A nervous laugh filled the air.
Riku sighed, "Fine… Now go on… You can leave now. Just be careful when traveling to a new world. Don't meddle or else." He said, running his fingers through his hair.
Hikari frowns, "Boo~ no fun! We always meddle with every world we came across!" She crossed her arms over her chest.
Riku turned around with a glare, enough to make the brunette gulped. "Ugh… Just try not to meddle okay?" He sighed, turning around to head back to the castle. The two girls stared at his back as he shoved his hands into his pockets. He raised a hand up to wave goodbye. "Oh and Hikari? I'm telling Cid." A smirk was seen on his face as he said with a smug tone.
Hikari's jaw dropped. She slump her shoulders down as she rubbed her temples worriedly. "Oh man… Cid's gonna kill me with his flamethrower!" She grumbles as she leaned against the tree trunk.
Kairi giggled. Hikari stared at her red-haired friend. She was just beautiful. Her shoulder length red hair was gently blown by the gentle breeze. Her blue eyes were sparkling, matching her pale toned skin. Her skin was flawless, not a single scar, bruise, or scratches was on her skin. Even though it has been years, she still wore the same the white dress under the strapless zip up pink dress with two fake zippers, but in a bigger size of course. Her personality also matches her appearance. She's a really polite, nice, brave, and a funny girl. Everybody likes her, even stinky and grumpy Cid. Sora's a lucky really guy for going out with a girl like her.
Unlike Kairi, Hikari was an average seventeen year old girl. Her brown hair was cut short to make fighting more easily. Her light blue eyes didn't sparkle—it only sparkled a little if she decides to use her puppy-eyes. Her skin was a bit tan-ish because she spends too much time under the sun, training. Her skin wasn't flawless, a few scratches were seen on her arm because of the previous fight she had with some random Heartless. A sticky bandage was plastered on her right cheek, since she didn't want to waste magic and potions just for minor wounds. Her clothing was considered… not feminine in the slightest. Her attitude doesn't fit her age. A few citizens didn't appreciate their stores being messed up, but it was worth it. She never did want to grow up anyway.
Hikari looked away with a faint blush. 'Huh… I wish I was like Kairi…' She thought. Her mind was thinking about any possibilities if she was like Kairi. Suddenly, a snicker escaped her lips. 'Nah! I like my old self better! This keyblade wielder ain't changing for anyone!' she grinned to herself, earning a confused look from Kairi.
"What's so funny?" Kairi asked with a small smile.
"Nothing! I was just thinking of something!" Hikari replied cheerfully, giving Kairi a wink. The brunette dropped down to the grass while her hands were crossed behind her head used as a pillow. The voices she heard a few minutes ago were back, her mind playing back the two voices saying something about rules and games. It was weird, she knows that every game hair its own rules. She doesn't need to be told again. Who exactly was telling her this anyway? Her eyes suddenly snapped open. Dull blue eyes were seen, starring at the shaking branches of the tree above her. "So… Let the games begin." She whispered.
"Huh? What was that?" Kairi turned her head towards Hikari confusedly.
Hikari blinked a few times before positioning herself to a sitting position. "Uh… Nothing… I was just thinking aloud." She scratched the back of her head. Where did that come from?
Kairi giggled. "I know! You just wanted to play a game!" She clapped her hands together.
"A Game?" Hikari repeated with a chuckle. "The only game I want to play is run away from Riku when he's mad!" She laughed as she slapped her knee.
Kairi pouted, hands on her hips. "I wasn't talking about that kind of game." She sighed, shaking her head with a hand on her forehead. Hikari gave her a confused look. "I was talking about a game of cards!" she smiled happily.
"Cards? You mean cards? As is cards, cards? Not the walking talking cards at Wonderland right? Because if it is… I ain't playing with them." Hikari made an X with her two arms, shaking her head slightly.
Kairi let out a giggle before correcting the brunette, "No, silly! I wasn't talking about that kind of cards!" She burst into giggled as Hikari placed on a dumbfound look. "I was talking about the ordinary cards. You know the ones we used to play with?" she asked.
Hikari tapped her chin, thinking hard. "Ah!" She snapped her fingers, remembering the old memories. "You mean the deck of cards we used to build castles with? And the ones we used to play as a hide and get as many of the cards! Is that it? Are we playing those again? Because I think that it's not a good idea to play castle cards out here. It's windy." She crossed her arms.
"I think those are the smartest words I heard coming out from you for the past week." Kairi laughed as Hikari's cheeks flushed red in embarrassment. "And yes, those are the cards. We're going to play before you leave on your next adventure." She smiled, getting up as she patted the grass off her bottom.
"Just try not to fall asleep while I'm gone, okay?" Kairi asked as she turned her gaze over her shoulder.
Hikari cupped her mouth, "I'll try!" she shouted loudly.
The last thing Hikari heard was Kairi's giggle.
The brunette lay back down to the cold grass, admiring the nice weather at Radiant Garden. The cloudless sky was letting the sunlight shined brightly to the world, but luckily she was underneath the oak tree, laying on the shades. The gentle breeze was soothing her to go back to sleep. A loud yawn escape her lips as her eyes were getting heavier by the second she stares into the sky. She tried her best not to go back to sleep because Kairi would be back any second, but she fails to do so.
'Maybe Kairi wouldn't mind me sleeping for a few minutes…' Hikari thought as she placed a hand on her forehead. Her eyes lids were closing slowly, almost drifting to sleep. 'I mean… I did say I'll try to stay awake…' she reasoned.
A few minutes passed by like seconds. The wind was picking up speed a little as it made a 'whooshing' sound. The brunette was still asleep, not waking up anytime soon, until someone decides to wake her up, but no one did. She ignore every sounds around her, the only in her mind was sleep, one of her favorite thing to do. Another few minutes pass by and still no sign of Kairi coming back with those cards, not that the brunette knows anyway. She was still asleep.
Rustling sounds could be heard for a nearby bush. Hikari ignored the rustling sound, thinking it was just a wild animal—a rabbit or a raccoon or something. Whatever it is, it's probably harmless. Oh how wrong she is. The rustling sound continues as it came closer to the brunette. A small rabbit appeared from the bushing with a look. The rabbit came closer to the brunette, who was still ignoring it.
"Pssst!" A voice whispered into Hikari's ear. She simple waved it off, thinking it was just the wind. "Pssst! Wake up! Hey! Wake up!" The voice whispered a bit louder.
The brunette's eyebrow twitched in annoyance as she cracked open an eye lid to glare at the person who dared disturb her slumber. A figure of a rabbit came into view—scratch that—a rabbit with clothes to be exact. Hikari quickly closed her eyes again in irritation. Her brown eyebrows were furrowed down as she ignored the well-dressed rabbit.
'It's that stupid rabbit from Wonderland…' Hikari thought bitterly as she closed her eye tightly while the rabbit kept on 'psst-ing' for her to wake up. 'Better move before he steps on my head again.' she continued as she scooted away from the rabbit.
"Pssst! Please wake up!" The rabbit continued to whisper in her ears, shaking her.
A visible vein popped on Hikari's forehead as she continued to ignore the stupid rabbit. 'Ugh… What now? He wants me to move again? Fine!' She scooted away from the rabbit once more. 'There, you stupid rabbit. Just hop away and leave me in peace.' She sighed. The well-dressed rabbit kept on shaking her while whispering in her ear to wake up. 'Ugh… Just step on my head and get it over with, you stupid rabbit!' Her eyebrow twitched as the rabbit never stop.
"What do you want, rabbit?" Hikari asked in annoyance as her back was faced to the rabbit.
"You!" The rabbit shouted.
"Me?" Hikari asked, still not paying any attention to the annoying rabbit.
"Yes, you! You're supposed to follow me!" The rabbit shouted again, pointing a finger at the sleeping brunette.
"Uh-huh…" Hikari began, still not facing the rabbit. "Yeah right… you're just going to step on my head again like last time, right? I've been through this. C'mon, step on my head, I dare you." She hissed out, narrowed her eyes.
"W-What? What are you talking about?!" The rabbit stuttered before stomping angrily against the ground. Hikari let out a heavy sigh before rolling to her other side, facing the rabbit with a bored and an annoyed look on her face. "You have to chase me!" He yelled.
Hikari stared at the rabbit, observing him—she presumes that the rabbit is a 'he'. It was rather… cute, despite the attitude. "Look here, Rabbit… I normally hug cute things, but you just annoyed me, okay? I think you're the one who's supposed to follow me. You're lost right? I can get you back to your world. Just give me a minute or two." She lazily got up to a sitting position, scratching the back of her head.
The rabbit sighed as he reached into his inner jacket pocket. He grabbed a big pocket watch observing the time. "Oh dear… At this rate we'll be late! Well, it can't be helped." A poof of smoke appeared around the rabbit as it transform to a man with bunny ears stinking out of his head. Hikari eyed him carefully with a straight expression. It was a normal sight for her to see, she has seen worse. "Now, up you go!" He swung Hikari over his shoulder swiftly.
"What the—HANDS OFF RABBIT!" Hikari screamed loudly as she tried to punch the rabbit square on his face.
"Please don't scream in my ear," The rabbit said with a small smile. Hikari squirm in his strong arms. She pulled on his white fluffy ears as strong as she can, trying to plug it out of his head. "My dear, you're pulling on my ear." He said calmly, that smile still stuck on his face.
"Yeah, I'm trying to pull it out! You're insane, you rabbit!" Hikari shouted loudly at his ears, making his cringe a little. He didn't throw her to the ground or hit her, no, he simple laugh at the brunette's actions. "Put me down! I can walk by myself, you insolent rabbit!" she argued.
"No can do, my dear," The human-rabbit began as he ran towards a hole. Hikari remembered digging a hole in the secret garden for her prank, but she also remembers that she already covered it up because Riku told her to. "I'll put you down when we get there. We're going into that hole." He smiled.
"That hole?! I thought I already covered it up!" Hikari yelled loudly once more before gripping on the man's bunny ears tightly. She may be a girl, but she has a really strong grip. The human-rabbit jumped into the large hole. The both of them were falling into the abyss of the dark pit. "Idiot! We're both gonna die if you don't come here! I can fly us out of this stupid mess!" She yelled to the top of her lungs, reaching her hand out to the man.
The human-rabbit seemed a bit surprised. "Why, I seriously doubt a fall like this would kill you," He smiled again… in this kind of situation?
"YOU IDIOT!" Hikari's instincts were kicking in as the bottom was near. The bottom of the pit was surprisingly bright. She struggled to grab the human-rabbit man, but manage to grab on his ears once more. She quickly pulled the man against her, trying to make the fall less hurtful for him. Her eyebrows furrowed down as she embrace herself to the ground or floor or water. She was still hugging the human-rabbit man with her eyes closed, that she didn't even know they both landed safely on the stoned floor.
"My, my, you must surely love me, my dear." The human-rabbit man chuckled as Hikari snapped her eyes wide open. She quickly pushed him aside, letting him fall face first on the floor. He smiled as he pushed his glasses up. "I really enjoy the sound of your heart, my dear." He continued.
"Stop calling me 'my deer', rabbit!" Hikari huffed. The human-rabbit man chuckled before offering his hand to her. The brunette took it and brushed the dust off her pants. "The name's Hikari and what's the big idea dragging me down a hole!" she demanded.
"Then you must stop calling me, rabbit, my dear." The human-rabbit said, placing a hand over his chest with a small smile plastered on his face. Hikari's tongue clicked in annoyance, making a 'tsk' sound. "My name is Peter White, do not forget my dear Hikari." he bowed a little.
"Like I'll ever forget a name!" Hikari smirked, crossing her arms over her chest. She thought for a moment and remembered that she used to forget about that man's name. What was his name again? Dumple… Grumple… Doople… or was it Rumple-something-something? Nah, nobody ever remembers his name anyway. The brunette shrugged her shoulders. She turned to this so called Peter White. He was almost the spitting image of the White Rabbit in Wonderland—who always steps on her head like her head was somehow a path or something. "So… Peter White was it? Where are we anyway?" The brunette asked as she walked towards the edge.
"Why, be careful, my dear Hikari, we don't want you to fall now, do we?" Peter White appeared right next to her, one hand was placed on the stoned railing and the other on Hikari's shoulder, pulling her close to him. Hikari was too busy observing the scene. It was beautiful! The fair land was peaceful, not a single fuss was going on around. "Very majestic isn't it? You're at Wonderland, but sadly we're at war with each other." The man sighed heavily.
"This is Wonderland? This is the same old Wonderland? Huh… It was much bigger the last time I've visit…" Hikari mumbled to herself, really low, even for Peter White to hear. She glanced up to the taller man. "At war? Really? Are you just bluffing or is it real? This land is peaceful as far as I can see…" Hikari narrowed her eyes, looking out to the green land. Gunshots could be heard from all the way towards the high tower. The brunette sweat dropped as Peter White just stayed at the position he was before. "Okay… I stand corrected… You guys are really at war… of what exactly?" she asked.
Peter White smiled and reached something out from his pocket. A small vial filled with red liquid. "First, you must drink this." He said, handing the vial to Hikari—who only stared at it confusedly. Peter White realized the puzzled look on the new foreigner's face. He chuckled. "Oh! That's right… the game wouldn't be fun if it was easy, correct?" He said or asked.
Hikari shrugged. He was right. "Yeah… I agree!" She grinned happily making Peter White blushed a little. A puzzled look replaced her grin as she scratched the back of her neck. "Uh… What game are we exactly playing? I hope it's a treasure hunt! I always love treasure hunting especially with Peter!" She clapped her hands together.
Peter White cleared his throat, blood rose up to his cheeks. "M-Me? You love me? Oh, my dear Hikari! I'm glad you already picked me!" He hugged the small brunette tightly.
Hikari's eye twitched, "Not you! I'm friends with a lot of Peter! I'm talking about Peter Pan! He's the greatest treasure hider ever! I've never even found that crown if it wasn't for the clue he gave me!" She placed her hands on her hips, grinning back at Peter White.
A disappointed frown was seen on his face. "Oh how so disappointing…" Peter White sighed as he shook his head. "I thought you're talking about me, my dear." He said.
Hikari sighed, shaking her head. "Dude… Stop calling me 'deer' will 'ya? I ain't an animal. I'm a human being." She pouted, crossing her arms.
Dear and Deer almost sounds the same… to her…
Peter White chuckled, "No, my dear Hikari. I think you've mistaken!" He embraced the brunette back into a tight hug. "You're surely are adorable, my little kitten." He chirped happily.
Hikari gave him her best WTH look as she placed a hand on his forehead. "Well… you don't seem to have a fever… So you must have eaten something wrong, Peter White!" She quickly concluded. "Don't worry. It happens to me all the time!" She grinned, messing his hair.
"Peter is just fine, my dear," Peter chuckled lightly as he handed Hikari the small blue vial. "But please, my dear, you have to drink this for the game to begin." He said.
Hikari shrugged and grabbed the vial from Peter. It seems suspicious to be given a vial with a suspicious liquid inside from a suspicious man, but she can't judge him by his looks. She did that once and it hurts other people's hearts. She accused a man for stealing because of his creepy appearance. Turns out, the man is actually an undercover sheriff, looking for the thief. The young keyblade wielder apologizes many times that day and at the end of the day, she got a sore throat for too much apologizing. Shaking off the memories, she popped the hearts glass shape cork off the vial and placed the tip of the vial on her lips. She was going to drink it. That is until…
"EEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP~!"
A loud shriek of terror stopped her.
"What was that?" Hikari brought the vial back down from her lips as she glanced around the tower, looking for the source.
'Damn Rat…' Peter cursed in his mind as he scowled. He was this close to bringing the new foreigner to the game. A fake smile was seen to replace the scowl look. "It's nothing, probably was just someone shrieking." He smiled, placing his arm around the brunette.
There was another shriek of terror coming from the same person.
Hikari shook her head as she closed the vial with the cork. "Nope! It's defiantly someone crying for help! Don't worry shrieking people! Super Hikari is here to safe you~!" She sang childishly with a goofy grin. She pushed the Prime Minister of Hearts away as she ran towards the door. "Good bye, Peter! See 'ya soon!" she yelled over her shoulder.
Peter scowled once more. He's going to kill that rat.
3=~x~X~x~=E
The keyblade wielder ran down the many stairs of the tower, her heart pumping hard against her chest with excitement. Finally, after a few months without an adventure, she was finally going to have one! A goofy grin made its way to her lips as she reached the bottom of the tower. She lost track of how many stories has she ran down. She actually lost count after twenty because she was almost out of breath at that floor. This tower was nothing compared to Castle Oblivion. It took her an hour to reach the very top of the castle. Finally, she reached the first floor with sweat streaming down her face.
"Who are you?!" A man bellowed after seeing a panting brunette on the door frame. Hikari glanced up to the man. He had long dark blue-purple-ish hair, tied in a low ponytail. His midnight blue eyes glaring dagger at Hikari as she continue to observe the man. One thing she can conclude about this man: he truly loves clock. Hikari shook her head. Again with judging by first appearance! "What are you doing here?!" he bellowed again, demanding answers.
"Whoops! Sorry there, man! I didn't mean to intrude your tower!" Hikari gave a sheepish grin as she tried to catch her breath. She stood up straight after a few seconds, the man still eyeing her carefully and wearily.
"Who are you?" The man asked again.
"Me?" Hikari pointed a finger at herself with a look. "Oh! I'm the mighty and awesome Keyblade Master! Nice to meet 'cha, stranger!" She grinned happily, her voice filled with smugness. Where else can she be smug without Riku scolding her not to be too smug? She walked a few steps closer to the man with her hand reach out. "So… What's your name dude?" she asked.
The man eyed her wearily again. "Julius… Julius Monrey." He introduced with a suspicious look. "And your name is?" he asked back.
"Oh! My name's—," Before Hikari could even finish her sentence, the same shrieking voice filled the air once more. This time, it was louder and terrified. The poor lady must have been really afraid of this something doing to her. The brunette's eyebrow furrowed down as she turned away from Julius. "Crap! I forgot all about the lady! Don't worry Ma'am! I'm coming to the rescue!" she ran towards the exit.
"See 'ya later July!" Hikari yelled loudly before sprinting off towards the direction of the 'lady'.
Julius raised an eyebrow at the strange girl. She has eyes. She has bright blue eyes. That must have mean either she's a new Role-Holder or that stupid rabbit brought another foreigner to Wonderland. The long haired man sighed deeply as he rubbed his temples. Why? Why of all places that rabbit has to bring a foreigner to this tower?
3=~x~X~x~=E
"Don't worry, Ma'am! Help is here!" Hikari shouted loudly as she cupped her mouth. There was silence around her. There was no sight of any lady or men in need of help. She slumps her shoulder in disappointment. And she thought there was something interesting going on here. She shoved her hand into her pocket, taking out a vial. It was the vial Peter gave her. A loud sigh escape her lips and stared at the tower she previously was at. Maybe Julius or Peter can help her find that man and explain what game she's going to play if she drinks that liquid. A frustrated sigh escapes her lips as she summoned off her keyblade. "GAH! And I just think that I could use my keyblade!" She cried.
"Help me chu~!" The same shrieking voice shouted loudly. Oddly, it seems that the lady was coming towards Hikari. Quickly the brunette stood in a fighting stance, glaring at the bush. Her eyes widened in surprise as she found the lady. The lady isn't actually a lady. It was a mouse slash human slash boy. "Please help me chu~! That mean giant cat is going to eat me chu~!" he cried, hiding behind the brunette.
"Whoa there kid! Calm down! There's no cat around here!" Hikari stumbled back a little as the mouse-kid tugged on the back of her jacket.
"You're wrong chu~!" The mouse-kid cried as tears sprung out from his eyes—well… eye… since his right eye was covered with his bangs. He suddenly cringed. "Eeeeeeeeepppppp! He's near chu~!" He cried and ran off towards another direction.
Hikari spun around and fall to the ground, after the mouse-kid sprinted off, leaving her in the forest alone. She rubbed her head before raising an eyebrow at the mouse-kid. What's his problem? She stood up, brushing the dirt off her clothes. Confused blue eyes stared at the direction of where the mouse-kid had run off to. She scratched the back of her head.
"Well…. better ran after him before he gets into trouble…" Hikari mumbled to herself. After a few seconds of silence, a goofy smile appeared on her lips. "Hehehe… ADVENTURE TIME~!" She sang happily.
The keyblade wielder wandered around the forest looking for the mouse-kid. She even sang for the mouse-kid to come out from his hiding spot—not that she knows he was hiding or not, but he looks like a mouse and normal mouse likes to hide and stuff. If she has cheese, she would defiantly use it.
"Here mousy, mousy, mousy~ Come out, come out, where ever you are~" Hikari sang. She suddenly froze and face-palmed. Now she sounds like the cat whose chasing the poor little mouse-kid! "Look, Mousy… I'm sorry. I shouldn't have teased you like that! Would you come out? So that I can protect you from this so called 'cat'?" She asked aloud.
"Lo-Lorina? Is th-that you?" A feminine voice called out nervously.
'Lolorina? Who's Lolorina?' Hikari asked to herself as she scratched the back of her head confusedly. "Uh… Hi?" She greeted with a sheepish grin.
"Lo-Lorina! Is th-that really you?" The chestnut haired girl with teary gray-ish blue eyes asked once more to Hikari. The girl suddenly pounced on Hikari, almost making her and the girl fall to the ground. Luckily, Hikari quickly balanced herself and the girl, preventing from falling. "Oh Lorina! It's so good to see you again! How've you been? Why did you cut your hair? And what happen to your face?" The girl showered the confused keyblade wielder with questions.
"Wha—I dunno about any Lolorina or any Lorina… I think you've got the wrong girl, lady…" Hikari scratched the back of her head and a small smile on her lips. She was trying to make the chestnut haired girl stop crying. "I'm not who you call Lolorina and Lorina, lady… Sorry…" she repeated.
The chestnut haired girl wiped her tears away as she sniffles. "O-Oh… I'm sorry… I didn't mean to hug you… I-I thought that y-you're my sister… I'm sorry…" Small hiccups could be heard.
Hikari's eyes softened. She wanted to hit herself for making such a sweet lady cry. 'Curse my impoliteness! Oh man… I feel really bad…' She thought guiltily. A hand was placed on both the chestnut haired girl's shoulder, patting them gently to soothe her. "Uh… Um… I'm not good with comforting people when they're crying but… There, there? There's no need to cry? And no, no, it's okay actually… I apologize for making you cry, lady…" She said with a worried look.
"No, no… I'm the one who should apologize for hugging you…" The girl smiled warmly as the tears were now gone. "What's your name? My name's Alice Liddell." She introduced with a sweet smile.
"Ah! My name's Hikari, just Hikari!" Hikari gave a proud grin at Alice as she only giggles.
"Hey, brother," A voice said from behind Hikari, making her froze as Alice stared in shock.
"Yes, brother?" A new voice said, again, from behind Hikari.
"This Faceless just make Onee-chan cry!" The first voice said.
"Let's kill him~!" The two voices sang in unison.
A visible vein popped on Hikari's forehead. Did those two just call her a 'him'? Her hands curled into balls of fist as her shoulder trembles from anger boiling inside. Alice waved her hands in front of her, trying to calm the angry keyblade wielder down. Slowly, the brunette turned around with a killing aura. Her fist cracked as she faced the two kids.
"I. am. not. a. DUDE!" Hikari growled as she kicked the axes away from the little kids' hands. Taken by surprise the two little kids' eyes widened. They never expected a faceless… a faceless girl to taken them down in just a matter of seconds. The two was more surprised when she hoisted the two up with ease. The blue one was over her shoulder and the red one was in her arms. "You little brats are really rude! Calling me a dude!" She rhymed.
"Hey! Let us go!" Both kids whined as they both struggled to break free.
"Hah! Not so tough without your axes, now are 'ya, little brats?" Hikari asked with a smirk across her face.
"No fair! Onee-chan~ Help us!" The two cried in unison.
Alice laughed nervously. "C-Calm down Hi-Hikari... I'm sure that the twins didn't mean to call you a guy…" She said. Hikari huffed and let out a heavy sigh before setting the twins down, but not before giving them a deep glare. The twins crossed their arms over their chests. A pout was seen on their faces. "See? The twins are not really bad." Alice smiled.
Hikari sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. "I guess…" She placed a hand on her hip and glanced around. These kids are probably sad because she just kicked their battle axes away from their little hands. The two axes were found on a tree branch. With another annoyed sigh, the brunette jumped towards the branch, dangling as she grabbed the two battle axes. She jumped down and crouched down to the twins' eye level. They were refusing to make eye contact. "Here, you little brats… Be careful with these weapons… They're dangerous." The keyblade wielder warned, patting their heads.
"Thanks…" The twins said in unison, more like mumbled in unison. Hikari grinned and stood back up as Alice smiled warmly. "But~" the twins began, a glint of mischief in their eyes. "Take this Onee-chan~!" they both sang as they kicked Hikari in the shin, in unison.
"YE-OUCH! DARN YOU LITTLE BRATS!" Hikari balled up her fist as the twins ran up to Alice and hid behind her. "Alice? Would you please move so I could teach those two a lesson?" The brunette growled. Her blue eyes darkened all of a sudden.
"No~! Protect us, Onee-chan!" The two cried, gripping on Alice's dress.
"I'm gonna get you two!" Hikari yelled loudly as she tried to grab the twins. The struggling from the twins as her once more placed them in the same position from before was making a vial moved inside her pocket. The vial slipped off her jacket's pocket, reviling it was still full.
Alice's eyes widened in surprised. "H-Hikari? Is this yours?" She nervously asked as she showed Hikari the vial.
"Huh? Oh yeah," Hikari said as the twins stared at the small vial. "Thanks, Alice. I wouldn't have notice that it fallen off my pocket if you didn't mention it." She smiled and grabbed the vial using her teeth. "Twanks a blot, Awice." She tried her best to speak with half of the vial in her mouth.
"Y-You didn't drink it, did you? A sip?" Alice asked nervously.
"Nwah, I newa dwink it bwet." Hikari grinned. The twins suddenly escaped from her grasp and smiled sweetly at her. The brunette grabbed the vial away from her mouth and glared at the twins suspiciously. She shoved the bottle back into her jacket's pocket and crossed her arms as the twins kept on smiling so sweetly at her, too sweetly to be exact. "I was about to drink it, but there's this shrieking. So I ran away from this rabbit man called Peter White and met this other dude, I think his name is July something… Oh and then this mouse looking dude came and the he was scarred of something. I think he mentioned a giant cat or something and then I met you! And these brats too." She scowled at the twins.
Alice gave a sigh of relief as she placed a hand on her chest. "Thank goodness, for a second there, I thought you've drink it." She smiled sweetly.
Hikari blinked a few times, "What's wrong if I drink it?" She asked curiously.
"Well… you—," Alice's mouth was suddenly covered by the red twin as he had a smile on his face.
"You'll get superpowers Onee-chan~" The blue twin sang happily as he walked closer to the confused keyblade wielder. He reached his hand out and grabbed the vial from inside Hikari's pocket. The blue twin smiled mischievously as Alice kept on shaking her head with a shock look.
"Oh really?" Hikari asked, completely uninterested and not believing the bogus story the twins were telling her. "What kind of super powers?" She asked.
"Oh a lot, Onee-chan~!" The red twin grinned as he kept on covering Alice's mouth. "Like flying, super strength, healing powers, and night vision!" he chirped happily.
"Hmmm," Hikari hummed, tapping her chin. "Nah… I can fly with pixie dust, I can already easily lift you two up, I don't need healing powers, and I don't need night vision. It sucks." She commented dryly. "Anything else you two got to convinced me to drink this?" She asked with an amused look.
Alice finally got her mouth free from the red twin's hand. "Okay! How about we forget about this vial and have some tea instead?" She asked and the three shrugged. Hikari grabbed the vial back from the blue twin and shoved it into her pocket before glancing back to Alice. She had a bright smile on her face. "Blood will be surprised to meet you!" She clapped her hands together.
"'Surprise'? Huh… I hope he doesn't get a heart attack~" Hikari joked as the twins laughed.
"You're funny, new Onee-chan~!" The twins shouted in unison as they hugged Hikari around her waist.
"Heh! Who are you two anyway?" Hikari asked with a grin as she, the twins, and Alice walked towards a mansion.
"I'm Tweedle Dee!"
"I'm Tweedle Dum!"
"And we're the Bloody Twins~"
A/N: That's the end of the chapter! I was over excited and write this chapter soooo long! :D Anyway, sorry for any grammar or spelling error!
Hikari has visited the Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, that's why she say that Wonderland used to be bigger than she remembers. You see, Kingdom Hearts is a game of crossovers between Disney Movies. But don't worry, this is the only chapter that has mentions of KH. I'll try not to add too much KH into this story ^^
Keyblade(s): Are mysterious weapons that are used in a game called Kingdom Hearts. It's similar to swords. Despite the fact that most Keyblades possess no actual cutting edge. It's an effective weapons against Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed, and Dream Eaters. However the dowside to this weapon, the Heartless use the Keyblade as a homing beacon, and thus Keyblade wielders are at constant risk of Heartless attacks at any time. It's also use to 'lock' a world's keyhole, preventing the Heartless from attacking the world's heart. It can also unlock any lock. The Keyblade also chose its wielder.
Heartless: Are physical, living manifestations of the darkness within people's hearts. They 'stole' the light within the people's heart, making the people disappear soon after.
