I'm minding my own business with Isa when I see a kid who's at least a year younger than me. He's sitting up against the town garden's center, reaching for a wooden sword? He looks like someone just told him his best friend betrayed him or something I thought. The sword-thingy landed a few inches by I and Isa's feet. I grab the sword and test the strength of the weapon. I look over at the spikey blond hair kid with a really weird outfit. He starts to get up when I ask him:
"This yours?" I ask, holding the sword in my left hand. The kid nods, and before he can speak, Isa berates me.
"Lea, we don't have time for this." he snaps sharply. I shrug my shoulders and grin. Man, talk about being in a 'mood', Isa sure is in one hell of a big one. Besides this fight will only take a second. I thought to myself. I turn to him grinning. "Lighten up, Isa. It'll only take a sec." I wink at him, while Isa just glares.
I walk over to the newcomer, holding his wooden sword, or rather toy sword. I scoff at the kid. "You still play with toy swords? That's cute." I say as I flip the toy sword so the handle faces the sitting kid. He glares up at me, annoyed and confused. The only response I get is a grumble. I smirk back at him. I throw the toy sword to the ground and I reveal my weapon of choice when I say: "Now this right here-Tada! What do you think?" as I show off my new chakras.
The kid turns his head, "Not a whole lot." he says, sort of upset. For some reason, this makes me a little angry. I mean, come on, after showing him what a REAL weapon looks like, he's not impressed?! I thought. He's just jealous, after all, using a toy weapon to fight? I certainly would be! I thought. I tell him myself, "You're just jealous. I'm Lea." as I lean forward, placing my hands on my hips. I lightly tap my finger to my temple, and ask the kid. "Got it memorized?" I then place my hands back on my hips. Man, this kid is weird. He looks so sad. What's he got to be all sad about? I probably should get his name. I thought, realizing the kid is probably intimidated by me. "What's your name?" I ask him, placing my hands on my hips.
The kid looks to the side. "Ventus." he says quietly, placing his hands on his knees. Man, Ventus needs to cheer up or something, I can't help but feel sorry for the kid. This fight will knock the wind out of him!I thought grinning. "Okay Ventus, let's fight!" I declare, getting into stance to fight him. Ventus looks up at me, confused. "Fight? Why would I wanna to do that?" he sputters, his tone annoyed. He looks up at me with big blue eyes like he's lost his puppy or kitty and I just kicked it. What a sourpuss.
Ventus is too easy to tease. Most people would already be fighting me by now. This is going to be fun. I thought with a smile. "You scared of losing?" I say as I reach down to his level and shake my awesome chakras in his face. I take several steps and jumps back. "C'mon." I say, smirking. I twirl my chakras in my hands. "Hope you're ready." I yell out.
Ventus looks up at me, as if for the first time. Then, the kid decides to smile. He grabs the toy weapon and begins to stand. I yell back at him. "Alright, now we're talking." I say with a grin. There's no way I am going to lose to a Jeese McCarthy look like. Give me a break, this kid will be a piece of cake to beat! I thought with a grin.
He gets into a weird stance and slashes the weapon in the air. He grins back at me. "You're gonna be sorry." he says with a determination I recognize. I smirk back at him.
Isa, his moody spell, decides to sit back and watch. It's going to be a fight worthy to fight! I'm fired up now! Before Ventus and I begin, I can hear my best friend chuckle. That stupid smirk is probably plastered on his stupid face. I thought to myself. This round though, will be an easy one to win! I smirk as I study the competition. Plus, it always helps to have practice before you take on the big guns. I thought. Time to win! As we run toward each other for a quick beat down.
Turns out, I have a lot more to go with my training after all. I thought this would be an easy fight. It wasn't. I got my butt handed to me, in more ways than I would like to say. I collapse onto the ground, panting. That kid...is some kind of monster or something. I thought. I say breathlessly, "You...had enough? Cause I'm willing to...call it a draw of you are." in a vain attempt to say my pride, though Ventus looked like he was just getting started.
Ventus stands up straighter. "Huh?" He says in surprise, like I can't admit defeat when it's clear who the real winner is. He chuckles at me. "Right..." he says with an actual smile on his face. He reaches to lend me his hand, but Isa is just getting started.
"From where I stood, the only thing you drew was a big L on your forehead for 'Loser' 'Lame' "Laughable'." He says smugly while on his way to stand next to me. He smirks down at me. The nerve! Isn't this the opposite of an actual best friend?! I thought. "Wha-Isn't this the part where ya...cheer me up or somethin'?" I ask desperately, needing an assurance that while I did my best and that I'll get Ventus the next time. ""You're just having a bad day." or ..., "That's what you get for pullin' your punches!"" I say exasperated. Isa can be such a butt sometimes, I internal groan at myself. I scoff at Isa. "Some friend." I say, while sitting up to cross and uncross my legs. Though, I should know better to expect from my own best friend, Isa. I thought.
Isa looks down at me confused. "Oh, you mean I was supposed to lie." He says, matter-of-fact. Just when you think your best friend can get any more boring, I sigh, wrapping my arms behind my head. "You see what I got put up with?" I say to Ventus, who is just staring at us like a deer in a headlight. I lie down, close my eyes for a moment. I raise up to inform Ventus, "Sure hope you don't have friends like him." I sound annoyed, until I smile at the end of that.
Ventus just stares at me in confusion. "Huh?" he says. But then, he starts to laugh. Isa joins with him and I join in last, as it makes sense that he probably does have a friend like Isa. Maybe it's a girl though, I thought. At least she can show him how to really kick butt and-
"Lea we have to go." Isa looks down at me, quirking an eyebrow at my resting position. I nod, "'Kay." I say as I start to stand. Before I'm about to leave, Ventus asks, "Already?". It already sounds like he's going to miss me. Looks like Isa will have some competition, I suppose after all. I think with a smile. I turn my head back to face him, slightly. "I'll see ya when I see ya. After all we're friends now!" I say with a big grin across my face. Ventus smiles back at me. "Get it memorized." I remind him. He just nods and smiles back at me. "Okay, Lea." He says. I walk over to Isa who looks at me exasperated. "What is it with you and picking up stray puppies?" He asks, for the millionth time.
I smile at him. "I want everyone I meet to remember me. Inside people's memories, where I can live forever." I announced to him. To my utter disappointment, Isa fires back. "I know I won't forget you. Believe me, I try all the time." he tells me. I smirk. "See? I'm immortal!" I say. Isa grins back. He adds, "You're obnoxious."
Isa looks up at the castle, and I turn to look up at the secretive castle with him. "You're ready?" I ask him. We're both quiet for a few moments before he breaks his silence. "Well I can tell you are." He says. I continue to look at the castle, grinning. "Yeah," I reply to him. Immediately he turns, and I follow him where everything will change. Not knowing, the costs it would take.
In the distance I hear Ventus say something like "Must be nice...knowing who your friends are." But then again, I'm always hearing and seeing things that never really happen. At least, that's what the guy with the pirate eye patch claimed when I last visited him.
Author's note: I think the last time I updated was in 2013. Well, six years never later? Man, so much has happened. I promise I'll still write in the KH fandom too. I still can't believe KH III is coming out. I'm getting KH III on Thursday so if I don't post something in a month it's that. Hope you guys are doing well! Thank you again to you guys who reviewed. Part 2 will be A LOT longer so prep yourselves 😊
