Kingdom Hearts

Keyblade Chronicles

"Kite, wake up, you'll be late for school," Kite's mother yelled from the bottom of a staircase, "KITE, WAKE UP!!"

"Augh, be quiet woman, I'm up," Kite said from the kitchen.

"AAAAUGH!!!! When did you get up?"

"About an hour before you," Kite replied, shrugging his shoulders. Kite stood before his mother, fully dressed in a plain black t-shirt and tripp pants, with his blonde hair spiked in every direction. His green eyes seemed to pierce everything. "Whatever, I gotta go, is dad gonna be home tonight?"

"Maybe, you know your father, always working, hopefully he can get home soon, he says he made a breakthrough with his latest project."

"Thanks, alright, I'm gonna go, bye mom," Kite said as he left the house.

As Kite walked along the streets of Twilight Town he looked up and saw black clouds covering the sky, "what the hell, the sky shouldn't be that color." Kite continued on his way, down the street he met up with his childhood friend Raine.

"Hey Kite, what's up," she asked with a smile across her face, her long brown hair was tied in a ponytail, her sparkling blue eyes looked deeply into Kites.

"Nothing, you seem unusually peppy today, even for you," Kite said, devoid of enthusiasm.

"Oh, I just seem peppy cause you have no soul," Raine said with a wide grin. Raine walked alongside Kite on their way to school. When they got to school they noticed a crowd of students outside the door.

"What's going on here," Kite said to one of the students outside. The student turned around and gave Kite a smug look.

"Wouldn't you like to know," the student said condescendingly. Kite reached out and grabbed the students shirt collar and lifted him off the ground.

"I asked you a question, and you better answer," Kite said in a threatening tone, raising his other fist.

Raine reached out and covered his fist with her hand, "c'mon, he's not worth it Kite," she pleaded to him. Kite let him down, then faked a punch at the student.

"Hey, KITE, RAINE," said a voice from the crowd, then from out of the crowd a short, black haired boy pushed his way through.

"JADE," Raine said, waving to him happily.

"Hey Jade, what's going on?" Kite asked as his friend caught his breath.

"Ok, you know that serial killer that was on the news the other day, what was his name?"

"I think it was Kana," Kite answered Jade.

"Yeah, that's it, well, you'll never guess what, you see that crowd," Jade said as he pointed to the crowd.

"Yeah, who couldn't," Raine said.

"Well, they're surrounding his dead body!" Jade exclaimed.

"What, did someone kill him," Kite asked.

"No, or at least the authorities don't think so, it coulda been the Heartless, or the Nobodies, but we haven't had a problem with them in ages," Jade said.

"Well, what then, he was like, twenty, you don't just up and die at that age," Kite said. Just then the principal of the school came outside.

"~BZZZZT~ ALL STUDENTS MUST REPORT TO CLASS IMEDIATELY~BZZT~," the principal said through his megaphone.

"Well, that's our cue to go guys," Kite said to Jade and Raine, the three of them turned and went into the school.

"What's your first class Kite?" Raine asked.

"History…. with you….. remember?"

"Heh, silly me," Raine said as she rubbed the back of her head as if to jumpstart her brain.

"Well, lets go, I have a feeling we're gonna be talking about the exploits of the great hero Sora….. god I hate him," Kite said as they walked.

"Why's that, I think he's cool, the way he's saved countless worlds," Jade said with wide eyes, "I wish I could be like him."

"Why, he's a pathetic excuse for a swordsman with a pathetic excuse for a sword," Kite said.

"Oh, Kite, be nice, just because the Keyblade's not a katana doesn't mean it's pathetic," Raine said.

"I've practiced with swords almost my entire life and have nothing to show for it, he, by chance, gets the Keyblade, and suddenly he's a hero, I just don't like that."

"Whatever Kite, you're just jealous," Jade said.

"Yeah, I'm jealous that he can go where ever he wants to, but of nothing else," Kite said as the group split up on their way to class.

Kite and Raine walked into their classroom and sat down beside eachother like always. After a few more students arrived, Kite noticed a large group of them coming towards him, he knew only one of them.

"Hey, you're the bitch I scared this morning," Kite said with a smile to one of them.

The student flinch as his friends heard what he was called, "hey, you should count yourself lucky, cause if your girlfriend hadn't stopped you, I woulda kicked your ass," he said as his friends chuckled behind him.

Kite sighed and looked up, "well then, lets test that theory of yours," Kite said as he got up from his chair, "oh, and for the record, she's not my girlfriend."

The student backed up towards his friends, "you…. you… you're gonna take us all on, what are you, stupid?"

Kite kept walking towards him, rolling up his sleeves, the other students started to circle around them, "Why not, it'll make me look better when I kick all your asses."

The other student backed up, but was blocked by his group of friends, he looked back at them, they all nodded their heads, then he turned around.

"Alright, lets go," he said as he assumed a boxers stance. Kite looked at him and put his hands in his pockets and grinned.

"Sounds like fun," Kite said. The student charge at Kite with one of his arms back, then took a swing at Kite. Kite ducked, and the air from the punch shook his hair. "Nice try, needs some work though," Kite said as he dodged the next few punches. The group surrounding them started to chuckle at the other student.

"I'm gonna rearrange your face Kite," He yelled as he threw his fist at Kite. Kite sidestepped out of the way and threw his leg into the students face, knocking him cold. The students friends rushed to his aid as Kite walked back to his seat.

"Hey, tell him I'm up for is anytime," Kite said to the students friends. As the group carried their friend to the nurses office the teacher came in.

"What happened to him," the teacher asked the class.

"He fell into a desk," Kite spoke up, the rest of the class nodded in agreement.

"Well, then, let us get started, can anyone tell my when Sora started his campaign against the Heartless," the teacher asked.

Raine raised her hand, "Seven years ago, then he was believed to have been in a comatose state for two years, then continued on against the Heartless and the Nobodies."

"Kiss ass," one of the students said while coughing, then the others around her started laughing. Kite turned around and glared at them, silencing their laughter.

"Good job miss Raine," the teacher said, "Now, can you tell me how Heartless and Nobodies are made."

"Gladly," said Raine, "when someone's heart is corrupted, the Heartless will seek them out in order to steal their heart, and if that same person had a strong heart, then their body lives on as a Nobody, but, teacher?"

"Yes miss Raine?"

"A human is composed of a heart, a soul, and a body."

"That is correct, what's your point?"

"Where does the soul go?"

The teacher looked at her with a puzzled look, he thought for a few moments and then looked up to her, "well, uhm, many believe we pass on to the other side with just our soul, but we're not completely sure, is that all?"

"Yes, thank you sir," Raine said. Just then a student came rushing into the classroom, gasping for air.

"What is the meaning of this," the teacher yelled.

"Run, they're coming," the boy said before he passed out.

"Someone, get this student to the nurse," the teacher told the class.

"Guys, look outside," said a student by the window. Kite ran over to him and looked outside. The sky was red with the same black clouds from earlier, but was unleashing red lightning on Twilight Town.

"The hell," Kite said with disbelief.

"What is it…….. oh my god," Raine said as she walked up to Kite.

Kite looked at her, the sky, and then her again, "Raine, I want you to leave school and go home, hide somewhere, make sure you're safe," Kite said to her. She nodded, then ran out the classroom. Kite followed behind as the class stared in awe at the ominously looming skyline.

Kite ran nonstop to his house, when he got home he saw his mom on the phone in tears.

"Mom, what's going, why are you crying, where's dad?" His mother stood in front of him, crying, she said nothing, all she did was hug him and hand him the phone.

"Hello son," a familiar voice said.

"Dad, where are you, what the hell is going on here?"

"I don't have much time to explain, so put on some durable clothes, grab your sword and come on down to the lab, I'll tell you more there~klik~."

"Dad," Kite yelled as he hung up, "what the hell does he want?" Kite ran up to his room and grabbed his long black trench coat and gloves, then walked over to his nightstand a grabbed his katana. As he ran down the stairs, he saw his mom curled in a ball, crying, "Mom, I'll be fine, so you can stop crying," Kite said in a reassuring voice.

"Please, stay safe," Kites mother said through her tears.

"Ok, I will," Kite said as he hugged her. Kite turned around and walked out the door. As soon as he stepped outside he had an ominous feeling rush over him. He looked around, Heartless surrounded him from the rooftops and alleys. "What the…" Kite said as looked around at all the Heartless. Kite drew his katana, he watched the Heartless patiently, "these are….. shadows, they should be pretty easy," he said to himself. A few of the Heartless lunged at him, Kite jumped away to avoid them, then cut one of them, obliterating it with one hit. The others watched him warily, Kite looked at the others on the roof, they seemed to be retreating. The Heartless that had attacked stood motionless, cowering.

"Hey, kid, you need some help," a voice said from the rooftops behind him.

"Look, I think I'm o……." Kite said as he turned around, but was cut off by surprise. He looked up to see Sora on a rooftop, holding the Keyblade. "Sora….." Kite said angrily.

"The one and only," Sora said with a grin.

"I don't need your help," Kite said as he turned around.

"Hey, I'm trying to be nice, your worlds in danger," Sora said as he jumped down from the rooftop. Kite started to walk down the street. "Hey, why won't you accept my help?"

Kite turned around, furious, "why, because I've had to train my entire life to learn the essence of swordplay, AND, I've been stuck in this place my entire life, while you are magically given the Keyblade, and then you're a hero. What irks me the most is, without the Keyblade, you're nothing, yet still, you're a hero."

Sora stopped in his tracks, "hey, I never asked for the Keyblade, or the responsibility that came with it, but even so, I'm gonna do everything I can to help everyone I can."

"Well, help by staying out of my problems," Kite said as he kept walking.

"Wow, that kid looks like he's got something to prove," Sora said as he watched Kite walk away.
