Chapter 1: Transverse Town
'Why did she send me here again? It's been an hour, at least, already.'
He thought, quite unhappy about his certain situation that he was in right now. Impatient azure eyes scanned the lower level below him one last time; Still no one. The boy took in a breath scratching in his silver hair as he walked over towards the door, exiting out of Third District. Should he go or just wait a little longer? Surely if he did "she" would get angry. Grumbling as the silver-haired boy finally came to a decision, he trudged over to the nearest wall, put his back against it, and gazed into a window of a small house across from him.
No one was in it, but it reminded him of who was in it not too long ago.
"Sora," Riku growled, anger very apparent in his tone. The boy soon found himself frowning as he remembered the brunette laughing with his 'new' friends. It made him angrier just thinking about it...Did Sora really forget about him? But how could he just abandon his friends that he grew up with? No matter, Riku told himself, He'd find Kairi's all on his own, with no help from anyone! They'll return home and Riku didn't really care if Sora came, his new friends would keep him busy.
There was a loud clank! It sounded like metal, or something...
Riku moved from his position against the wall and walked over to see what was the cause of the racket. When Riku reached the cement banister, he blinked for a few times, gazing at the body that lay on the ground. 'A girl?' he thought; Riku really expected a boy, but then again, he didn't really know what to expect. 'So...Maleficent wanted me to see about this girl? I still say it's a waste of time,' Riku muttered mentally, and then noticed that she wasn't moving. 'Darn!'
The sprawled girl lay still on the ground; She had short raven hair and the same color shirt, which was ruffled up to show her back. Lower down were her red kimono, coming from them...was a white tail? A sword was clenched in one of her gloved hands; unlike normal swords this one had two blades: they were gold. The blade by her head was curved, almost looking like the Reaper's scythe. The blade by her legs seemed thicker than the one on the top and was straight.
Riku approached her.
"Hey...are you...okay?" he asked, walking closer to her slender form. "Hello!—ngh!??"
Before he realized what happened, Riku had his back against the ground; a firm hand clenched his right shoulder as another held a blade to his face. 'The girl! I thought she was dead!' his mind screamed as he lay there, frightened by her long fangs; Blue eyes with a ring of gold around the pupil, gazed slit into his own azure eyes. The girl's wolf ears flattened against her raven head in a sign of attack instead of fear.
"Who are you?"
Riku could just lie there and breathe.
"...Answer me. What is your name, boy?" the alien girl growled, obvious to the fact that he was frightened. She could smell it; she took it as an advantage. "Or maybe you'll like to face my blade?"
Riku blinked and growled. "Get off me!"
"Answer me first."
"Not until you get off me!!"
"No," she said stubbornly. The girls white ears began to pivot in different directions as she glanced around, warily. Where the heck was she? This was not her home. "Where am I? Answer me! Where are my wolves?!"
"T-Transverse Town," Riku croaked at first, and regained his regular voice. "I don't know what happened to them—now get off!"
The animal-like girl then glared at him. Her blue-gold eyes were cold and fierce; she sniffed. Riku felt heat rise to his cheeks as she sniffed his hot cheek; she snorted rising abruptly at his sweet-smelling scent. The girl spoke, "You're not lying. Hmm." She growled, raising her hand and jumped back. She landed on all fours, sitting like a dog.
Riku sat up, brushing the dirt off his shoulder. "You know, you really shouldn't jump people like that!" He growled, angrily. "And—hey, where are you going?!"
"To find my home," the girl answered, withdrawing her sword to the slash of her pants. "You prove to be no assistance to my current situation, for that I shall take my leave."
"You won't find it here...or at least not on this world," Riku said, standing up, watching the girl walk away. Her steps slowed to a stop.
"This world?" she repeated. The girl looked at Riku over her shoulder, arching an eyebrow. She gave him a suspicious look. "There are other worlds...Now to think about it, you have no wolf ears or tail; I can't even smell wolf in you. Tell me, are you from this world, or this Transverse Town as you call it."
"No."
"No?" She was interested to know more. "Then where did you come from?"
"Destiny Islands, why?" Riku asked, a little nervous as she approached him.
"I have never heard of such a place," said the wolfish girl, "Do you know a way that I can get home?"
"No; n-not exactly."
She continued to approach him, eyes never leaving his. Riku wanted to back away, but held firm. Why did he feel this way? It was somewhat perplexing that he'd be afraid of her...wait, afraid? No! He wasn't, was he? She stopped in front of Riku, looking up at him, not being quite as tall as the boy.
"So, you never heard of the world of Keniro, have you?" inquired the wolf- girl.
"No, I never knew worlds like yours existed," Riku answered honestly. She put her hands on her hips, lifting her chin in question.
"Hmm. So, from what you've told me," she began taking a step away from him, and gazed at the moon. "is that I've some how traveled to this Transverse Town, but no way to travel back to my home world? It really does not make any sense...why can't...I go home?" Her ears swiveled back suddenly to his footsteps approaching her.
"I...wonder the same thing." Riku glanced at her. "You know, you never told me your name."
"Well, you never told me your name, though I inquired you about that first," she stated in matter-of-factly. "Karu no Inu; Karu for short."
He blinked once at her sudden cooperation, though he doubted that it would last that long. He smirked faintly, "Riku, my name's Riku."
"Well then, Riku," Karu obliged, "You seem to know more about this world then I do. I will accompany you, on your search for your way home; hopefully I shall return to mine too."
"Usually, people ask," he returned dully.
"You don't want me to join your party?"
"No, I mean—"
"You were just saying? Is that it?" Karu asked.
"Well yeah." He said slowly, rubbing the back of his head. "Nice intuition, you have there."
"You amuse me, Riku," the girl admitted. Then she smirked a fang; taking her own perceptive of the comment Riku gave her. "Are you trying to flatter me, boy?" Karu asked, humor in her tone, "And we just met." She shook her head, teasingly. So Karu was humorous and not just intimidating. But Riku didn't like it.
"W-wha? N-NO! You—but—I didn't—"Riku spluttered, blushing, far from his usual calm disposition. "You switched my words around!"
"I think not," she snorted walking away. "You're the one whom said it; that was just my opinion, Riku. And would you stop that childish spitting; you look like a fool."
'Agh! She did it again!' Riku growled, frowning. And how dare she call him a fool? "You are annoying me," he muttered under his breath, not expecting her to hear him.
"Ho? Am I?" Karu asked.
"You...heard me...?" he said slowly, gaping a little.
"Yes, I did. I can hear better than humans."
"Hrr, is that so? Anyway, I'm taking the lead," Riku stated, walking in front of her. He grumbled mentally, so Karu wouldn't hear him with her 'better-than-human' hearing ears of hers. Riku lead her up the stairs to the left and opened the door to Second District. He didn't think Maleficent's little "package" would be so interesting. They were already starting to get along, well kind of. Riku began to wonder what exactly Maleficent had in plan for them...Why did she want Karu? And most of all how did she know Karu would show up in Third District?
