I forgot to mention it in the first chapter, but I do not own anything from the Kingdom hearts series except some games from a gamestop.
I shot up with a small shot of surpsie as I panted. "That dream again." I muttered as I looked at my watch, it was 10:00 meanin git was time for me to start heading to the usual place that me and my friends would hang out at.
I looked at my self in the mirror and sighed. Neck long dark brown hair that looked slightly grey in the right light, some what pale skin that was starting to show signs that I spent time in the sun, a good well toned body fit for any one who uses a sword, a pair of cobalt grey eyes which only revealed curiosity toward the unknown, and a thin almost invisible smile, that was what made up my general appearance, I looked pretty good, and my height of five feet and eight inches matched if any one asked me.
I got out my usual outfit, a white shortleeved button up shirt, a pair of black slacks, my red medalion which I wore around my neck, my black boots, and my grey hoodie jacket, left unzipped, then lastly a pair of black fingerless gloves completed the outfit. After getting dressed I ran to the bus station and after a long ride finally arrived at our meeting place, it was a beach that few people ever headed to during spring.
I looked over to see the boat was here and smiled waiting for the others as I kept a hand in my pocket and the other playing with my key chain, it was a sliver chain with a old X shaped star at the end of it, it was all silver, and it reminded me of a friend I made many when I was little.
"HEY Nazo!" I looked up at the top of the docks to see Miko along with Draconis and Terric, she ran over along with Terric while Draconis just walked. It had been a few years since I first had that dream, Terric and I both were now 15 year olds Miko was a 16 year old and Draconis was 17 going on 18.
"Hey, what kept you guys?" I asked them with a kind smile on my face as I pushed the ramp out for them to get onto the boat with, which they all did, Draconis sitting down with his head next to the edge.
Miko simply tugged lightly at her outfit. "I was just getting this on." She stated with a cute smile on her face making me look away a little shyly, she was a head shorter than me and had a decent figure which I had to admit, was something I liked about her since it made it easier to keep people from going after her heart.
Terric smiled holding a small black book. "I was just letting every one know we were going to hang out, I mean, it is the break after all." He stated I then looked to Draconis who gave no reason, yet I could gather that it was probably him just getting his usual outfit ready.
As we sailed out to the usual place, I noticed some one ahead of us rowing there, it was Albert and Niko. "Hey guys, over here!" Niko called in his usual goofy fashion, he wore a navy uniform and he was a bit younger than me coming at only 13. He had black hair that was cut short and rose up with red bits at the edges that he dyed on there, his grey eyes were a very calm thing compared to the rest of him.
"Niko cool your jets." Albert stated with his hands still on the oar he was holding, he had short grey hair and yellow eyes, he stood out from the rest of us since he always wore a black coat with black gloves, black boots and odd silver like chains on it, I always wondered how he kept from over heating in that thing.
"You two want to come aboard?" Draconis asked as he looked pale, the poor guy gets motion sickness easily, after a minute we had helped them with getting their small rowboat tied to our own and started to go toward the island, it took around a hour to get there, we had started to hang out there when it appeared here one day, it was a fairly big island with lots of palm trees and a good amount of space, we had been building some things here and there to make it easier to traverse.
"Wow, the place is even better than I remember it!" Niko shouted in glee and I chuckled ruffling his hair, he was pretty short for his age, only coming up to my shoulder in height.
"You said that the second time you came here too, and you're still saying it." I stated happily before we all split up and I looked around, before reaching into my pocket and pulling out a small key, opening the lock on one of the wooden doors and opening it to reveal a store of wooden weapons, one of them modeled after the sword I saw in the dream, I took hold of it and slung it over onto my back before pulling the others out and handing them to the others.
It was about a hour later when Draconis walked up to me. "Hey Nazo, you want to spar with me?" He asked and I agreed before he laughed at me. "Well, you'll need to go up the lader, remember? compared to the other's you're small time." He stated making me fume slightly.
Out of all the matches we've ever had on the island, I was the lowest ranking, Miko was the only one who never fought, I walked up to Niko who was practicing with a wooden dummy he had made, it was rigged so that when you hit it, it would move the other way to try and counter, there were multiple pegs on it so you had to react quickly or suffer a strong hit. "Hey Niko, you want to fight with me?" I asked and he smiled brightly.
"SUre thing Nazo-sensei." He stated, I don't know why, but he, Miko and I were the only ones who ever used things like an honorific. "But I won't hold back." He stated after we got onto the sand and I held up my weapon, I started to hold onto it with both hands since I found out that would make my attacks hit a little stronger.
His weapon was a axe shaped branch that we had carved out for him, he seemed to enjoy it so there weren't any complaints. "Ikuze!" We both shouted as we charged, it was sort of a silly habit we picked up when we first met if we were fighting on the island, we'd have to shout out the word to let every one know to keep their distance from the sandy area on the beach.
I quickly moved to the side when he brought the axe down in a vertical swing and took a quick jab at his side nailing him slightly as he recoiled from the pain, I took the chance to get in two more shots, the last one making him shoot back from the force, he popped his shoulder before spinning around and around towards me, I didn't having much time as he snagged onto my hoodie jacket making me fall flat onto the ground before he brought the handle down on my gut making me loose my breath, that shot hurt quite a bit.
I rolled to the side when he tried to do that again and quickly swiped at his feet with a low kick, he jumped up and I grinned as he went wide eyed realizing the mistake before I slammed the hilt of the wooden sword on his stomach making him cough before I spun around and took a large swing, putting my entire upper body into it before he got flung back from the force, knocking him into one of the stone areas as he groaned in pain. "You win." He muttered softly as I tossed the sword up and caught it perfectly before putting it back behind me.
I walked over and handed him one of the potions I kept in a bag here and he drank it down quickly, smiling in relief when it made the pain stop, I was now rank four.
