It scared the shit out of him. Yes, he was man enough to admit it. What he had found the morning scared the HELL out of him. There it had been.. Right there, on his wall, right where he could easily see it. Kairi, his best friend, gone.. The teenager had immediately vacated his house and headed towards the island he used to play on as a child.. Well, that was what he had been told, atleast. Those events led up to where he was now; in the Secret Place, staring at the writings on the wall. He recognized the ones from Kairi, and the ones from Tidus, Wakka, Selphie, and himself, of course.. but there were others that he COULDN'T identify.. ".. What happened..?" Sora asked aloud, and the sound echoed off the walls.
Somewhere on the beach, the twenty year old smirked to himself. They were going to find that bitch, and save the world. After the Keyblade master had disappeared, well.. All had been well for a while. Then some psycho had to come along and screw up everything. Eizo turned to his companion. "Any sign of her?"
The white haired female sighed and took off her glasses."No. Just the writing we had found earlier." Taking another glance around she put her glasses back on and started towards the cave she had mentioned."Think we should do something about the writing? Before anyone else sees?" Then it hit her,"What about.. the keyblade weilder?" She said turning and staring at Eizo, her blue eyes not their usual bright shade they used to be. Everything had gone down hill. She looked up at the sky and frowned."It's going to storm."
His own brown occuli held a weariness they hadn't had before, and he reached up a hand to squeeze the bridge of his nose. "Probably. Or maybe not. If someone goes looking for the girl.. well, might as well give them some clue, hm..?" He paused, letting his hand find its way into his pocket. "You think we'll be able to find 'im? Even if we do, will he be willing to come with us?" He too looked up at the sky, and scowled deeply. "Damn.. We should find shelter."
Blue eyes traveled along the stone wall, finally coming to a halt on the drawing of a large doorway, maybe twice his height. Something told him that there was more to those scribbles than just childish play..
Yuki nodded then broke into a run,"If not. We'll have to hope seeing the keyblade will spring his memory back into action. Damn that dog and duck! What were they thinking letting him forget those important events?!" She shook her head, extremly pissed. She always was when it came to Donald and Goofy though."Have minded twits." She growled once more before stopping at the caves entrance.".... Hello?"
"Aye, wait up!" Eizo called after the woman, slipping a bit in the sand before he regained his footing enough to run after her. Once he had almost caught up to her, he growled slightly. "Look, I know you hate them, but they DID help save the universe!" He skidded to a halt beside her, panting slightly. "I hate it when you do that…" The blond shook his head, then reached up to brush a few golden strands away from his hazel eyes. "Hm.." Sora's head jerked towards the entrance of the small tunnel, his eyes wide. He had become quite skittish since that morning, practically hissing at anyone who had tried to enter the cave. But this voice was new, and different.. "H-Hello? Who's there?"
Yuki stepped inside, and frowned at the brown haired teen."My name is Yuki," She started then looked back towards Eizo and waved him in, eyes narrowed."And this is Eizo." She looked towards Sora and started walking toeards him."Sora.. we have something very important to tell you." She held her hands open and laid them out, palm out. Materilazing out of nowhere was the fimilair keyblade. The snow-white haired teen looked at Sora and sighed."You have to save the worlds again. The person that we are after killed your friend. She wrote that and is trying to throw the world into darkness."
The man followed her in, arms crossed 'angrily' over his chest, eyes narrowed lazily. He tried to be foreboding, but hell, when you were in the presence of a legend, it was hard to just not bow down right then and there. The teenager eyed the girl warily, wondering how she knew his name, and what it was that she had to tell him. Staring at Yuki's open palms, he gasped at the flurry of sparkles, and the oh so familiar form of the Keyblade. "Oh…" Was all he managed in response to everything she said. The memories.. Oh the memories.. A silver haired boy, a white haired man.. The memories were so overwhelming. ".. I… remember.. Riku! Ansem???" Blue eyes stared up at the woman with a slightly lost look. ".. Did Ansem come back? Was he the one who killed Kairi?" "Not Ansem, son.. Someone much worse." Came the mutter from Eizo as he knelt down beside Yuki.
"No. Someone much, much worse." She sighed then looked at the door behind Sora."The girls name is Hitomi. And that is just what she is, a mere child. She's only sixteen but yer has caused some of the strongest warriors to fall to their knees and cower before her. She has already started ruining and over running planets with heartless. Her intentions are not really all that different, just how she goes about it." She clenched a fist and looked at Sora."Sora, you saved the worlds once and you have to save them again!" She spun and stared at Eizo."The island will follow soon. We have to leave."
".. again..?" A quiet, whispered question. Wasn't once enough..? ".. She's only a year older than I am.." Sora muttered offhandedly, before flinging his right arm out, smiling as the familiar weight of his weapon began to materialize. Maybe this wouldn't be so hard. Maybe he had matured enough to do better than last time… and maybe this Hitomi girl would turn into a frog. Standing, the teenager stretched slightly, the Keyblade disappearing in the way it was notorious for. "…" Eizo muttered something under his breath before nodding, turning to look at Yuki. "Where did we park the ship again?"
Yuki twiched then ran behind Sora."No time for the damned ship." She said lowly, feeling across the door."Eizo.. you've opened this before, help me." She looked at Sora and frowned."Don't let her age fool you. She got a few people you knew." Sighing, Yuki bit her bottom lip and pounded her fist onto the door. The door made a rusting sound as it slowly opened."Okay.. go on through Sora!"
The teenager stared at the door. Hadn't it been just an outline made of chalk moments ago..? Whatever. It was time to go. Nodding, he ran forward, into the darkness beyond the doorway. Watching as the brunette disappeared, the man turned to Yuki, eyebrow raised. "So we're just leaving the ship? Pfft…" He rolled his eyes, then placed his hands on the white-haired girl's shoulders. "Ladies first."
Yuki nodded and looked back at Eizo and smiled,"Then why havn't you gone?" With that said she followed Sora through the dark."Sora? Where are you?" She blinked a few times and stared. Darkness. "Use the keyblade, something that will give off some light." She frowned and shook her head again."Oh why oh why.." Then a voice echoed. "Hitomi!" Yuki cried out. "Very good. Getting the keyblade weilder to come and take action again. WAs it to much for him when I killed his friend?"
The blond paused, then cursed, running after the woman. Great. Now he couldn't see ANYTHING. Tripping over his shoes, the male started towards where he thought he heard a voice.. then another. "Oh SHIT.." He growled, recognizing the voice. Sora blinked. Had someone said Keyblade? Hey.. That was a new voice. He couldn't discern the words, but he could definitely tell by the pitch that this one was female as well. Muttering something, he flung his arm out, and the sparkles appeared, followed by the weapon they held, which gave off enough light to see by. ".. err…"
Sitting, no floating in mid-air was a long haired brunette. Deep brown eyes glared at the group as she shifted and smirked at them."Why, hello there."Yuki's eyes widen and she sprang for Sora's side."Watch out. It's Hitomi." Hitomi tilted her head back, exprosing the pale flesh of her neck."Hahah. Are you all scared that much of little ol
Sitting, no floating in mid-air was a long haired brunette. Deep brown eyes glared at the group as she shifted and smirked at them."Why, hello there."Yuki's eyes widen and she sprang for Sora's side."Watch out. It's Hitomi." Hitomi tilted her head back, exprosing the pale flesh of her neck."Hahah. Are you all scared that much of little ol' me?" Another laugh before she looked forward again and narrowed her eyes."Pathetic. You're all pathetic." Waving her hand in the air, two heartless appeared at her side."I've made alot of people beg for mercy." Her smirk grew as she talked,"And you will also be one of them!"
Eizo grinned upon seeing the slight light, and made a beeline for their sides. He skidded to a halt, glaring at the floating girl. How he hated this.. Well, you couldn't really call her human. She was just an organism of some sort that was shaped like a human being.. "Bitch." He growled upon stopping the heartless, and his eyes narrowed. Sora blinked once, then twice. THIS girl was the threat? She didn't LOOK all that scary.. That was, until the Heartless appeared. Shit. Getting into his usual fighting position, the teenager glared at the girl before them. "…."
Hitomi smiled then vanished and appeared right in Sora's face. She grasped him chin and glared into his light blue eyes."You'll learn to fear me for your life. You'll also learn I will control everything, everyone. And you WILL not give a shit." Vanishing and going back to where she was the girl shrugged her shoulders, and reached down grabbing the heartless by those antenas on its head and flinging it at the group. Yuki's eyes narrowed and she pulled out a dagger from her belt, slashing the heartless."Damn you."
Not flinching in the slightest, he just stared right back into her brown eyes. How could she control everything..? And everyone..? The two beside him seemed to be acting upon their own free will, and he didn't feel any different. Slashing at the Heartless as it flew towards him, the shadowy creature's course was re-routed, and it was quickly sent towards Eizo. The man sighed, then grabbed the whip from his belt, snapping it at the creature, which promptly split in half and disappeared. Hazel eyes returned to glaring at Hitomi as his hands became busy with coiling the long rope.
Hitomi smiled."Don't get it yet? Well, those heartless could have been your friends from Traverse Town Sora. You never know, it could have also been ... Riku." She smirked and ran a finger across her thoart."If he isn't dead already. But, I watched him walk out. He was greatful and wanted to help me in my quest. Ah, having a friend fall vitcim to the dark side TWICE!" She snickered then appeared behind Eizo, his rope now in her hands and she wrapped it around his neck."Don't worry Sora." She said vanishing from the place, but her voice still echoing off the walls."It won't be that hard to fight. Well, unless you count any heartless could be a friend of yours."
Sora just flat out froze at that. His.. friends..? Cloud, Squall, Yuffie… All of them.. Heartless? He stared at her, unblinking, as she continued with her monologue. He couldn't hear what she was saying, not did he notice when she vanished, reappearing only feet away. When she had finally disappeared, he turned to Yuki. "… Riku..? Did he really..?" Eizo froze as he felt the somewhat rough surface of his own whip around his neck, and remained that way until he could feel it tightening no longer. Reaching up, he unwrapped it, then coiled it once again before attaching the weapon to his belt. "…."
Yuki nodded slowly,"I'm sorry to say Sora.. but he did. He didn't want to be a heartless.. and the only way to not become one is to follow Hitomi and support her side. I don't think your friends are heartless. Sora.. after we drop you off at Traverse Town you'll be pretty much on your own. Unless you happen to me Chouwa or Hono. But those two are another story... Eizo.. we have to get there. Do you remeber which door?" Now that the room was lit, ten different doors lined the walls.
Damn him. 'Take care of her', he says… Then that asshole goes and joins the person who kills her. Clenching his fists, the teen hung his head, eyes closed. Eizo sighed, then spun around in a circle, getting a good look at all of the doors. To the untrained eye, they all looked the same, but it seemed that he had been born with a gift of some sort. "Eh.. There." Raising a hand, he pointed at one of the doors, where, to his eyes, a fountain shone in the corner of the wood. "Come on you two.." He started forward, not bothering to see if the others had followed or not.
Yuki looked at Sora and frowned then looked to Eizo and started after him."I'm sorry Sora. When you get to TT I want you to look for an anthro that dresses... odd." She nodded, the best way she could put it without making the girl seem completely mad. Now.. Eizo would pipe up with how he thought Chouwa to be."She can help you till you think you're ready to go to the other planets."
"Ya, right.." Sora sighed, before lifting his head and turning to walk after the two older fighters. "Odd.. How so..?" Eizo laughed. "Like a freaking idiot. Just look for someone with cat ears and an.. odd outfit on.. Odd.." A snicker. "Now THERE'S a word to describe her.." Reaching the door, the examined it closely, before turning, stalking up to Sora, and dragging the teen with him. "Open it." Blue eyes gaze him a questioning look before their owner turned and tapped the door with the Keyblade. It creaked open, revealing the cobblestoned ground and the starry night sky. "Ah. Home sweet home.." The man murmured before brushing past the teenager, stretching his arms wide and inhaling deeply.
Somewhere on the beach, the twenty year old smirked to himself. They were going to find that bitch, and save the world. After the Keyblade master had disappeared, well.. All had been well for a while. Then some psycho had to come along and screw up everything. Eizo turned to his companion. "Any sign of her?"
