"Wow, it's been almost a year since I updated ANYTHING. Time flies, as they say. Though I have to put this out there. I'm TERRIBLY sorry for the severe lack of attention to this site, and all of my stories. Life's been a bit on the rough side and I've had a lot on my mind this past year. I've been working for the most part, haven't really thought much about college, which is something I need to fix."
"My point is, though, that I have a lot to make up for. I know this isn't what people want me to update on, since my more popular stories as of late are my Naruto/Mach and Inuyasha/Gaim stories. I'm working on updating those too, as well as my GokaiBlack story, which I'm taking a break from to write this since I more or less remember what the original content was before I started revamping."
Sean: "We here at Drago3511 Productions inc. are doing what we can to try and get as much work done as possible. Though we ask you to keep this in mind, that the author's fanfiction account is a side project, and he has other obligations in his life that need to come first. We apologize for not meeting demand with any and all updates and publications."
"And with that said, I think it's time for the disclaimer. I do NOT own Kingdom Hearts, or any existing characters, spells, Keyblades, or enemies. I only own my original characters and any other content I have come up with. Now, let's get this show on the road!"
(Monday: Sky household, 6:00 AM)
I woke up and yawned as I stretched in my bed. It was a long weekend of getting everything set for Aqua to start living here as a citizen of the United States. I had to call in a favor from my uncle to help with the process and forge some documents... I know it's wrong, but I couldn't just let Aqua stay cooped up in the house all day. What the education system doesn't know won't hurt them... right? Oh well, only time will tell.
Getting up and tossing the covers off myself, I slipped out of my pajamas and into some new school clothes I bought for myself while I was helping Aqua. A pair of baggy brown cargo pants, a red tank top, and a black sports jacket. With that done, I went to the bathroom to start my daily routine: brush my teeth, floss, gargle with mouthwash, comb my hair, etc. After making sure my appearance was in order, it was time to head to our guest room, aka my sister's old room before she moved out.
What's that? You didn't know I had an older sister? Well, I'll get more into the family details later. But the reason why I was heading to that particular room was because Aqua was using it as a place to sleep. I couldn't have her sleep on the floor in MY room, or on the couch. That wouldn't have been very accommodating now, would it? I didn't think so. Anywho, I knocked on the door, hoping she was already awake.
KNOCK, KNOCK
"Aqua, you up? The bathroom's all free for you to use. I'm gonna make some breakfast, meet me in the kitchen." I called into her, raising my voice a bit so that she could hear me through the door.
"Alright, I'll be out in a little bit." Came her own response. I gave a small smile and nodded to myself before heading to the kitchen and preparing the most important meal of the day. Gotta get some brain food in my system so I can focus in the boring hell that is high school classes. Well, I have gym today, so it's not ALL bad. I'll probably daydream or doodle in my more boring classes anyway. Wait, no, I just remembered. There might be repercussions to this entire situation. Heartless, Unversed, some great unspeakable evil. I have to focus!
Because of this train of thought, breakfast was nowhere near as lax as it usually is. I just rushed through my cereal as quickly as possible, though as carefully as not to choke on a stray corn flake. It also lead to me being too distracted while doing the dishes to not hear a new familiar voice.
"Everything alright?"
I looked up from the sink to see Aqua in one of the new outfits we got her. A pale blue tank top underneath one of those really loose cloth vests that go down to one's thighs in a black color, blue jeans, and grey and black trainers. Though she insisted on keeping the belle sleeves if she wore anything with short or no sleeves. Armor and all. She also had a white and grey messenger bag slung over her shoulder.
"Uh, yeah, no worries here. Just thinking about how you're going to like school, is all." I waved her off and gave a nervous, but hopefully convincing laugh.
"If you say so." She didn't seem to let on that she knew something was up and game me a smile that practically said 'goofball'. Rubbing the back of my head with my left hand, I instinctually brought it around to my face to look at the black digital watch I had on my wrist and check the time.
6:32 AM
I widened my eyes and mentally slapped myself. 'Crap, the bus!' I grabbed Aqua's hand and broke out into a run, getting my backpack off the couch as I did so and got out the door.
"Hey, what's the matter?!" She cried out as I dragged her along with me.
"THE BUS! WE'RE GONNA-" Cutting my sentence short as we ran down the street to the bus stop. The yellow school vehicle was in view just a few houses down, but the bus driver's seat was pulled around the corner and blocked off by a tree. He likely didn't see us coming, and drove off after a couple other kids I usually ride with got on. "Miss it..." I sighed in defeat and slumped my shoulders forward, letting go of Aqua in the process. "Oh well, looks like we're walking. School starts in less than an hour and it'll take us AT LEAST that long to get there."
"I think I have a better idea that'll save us some breath." Aqua commented. I turned around at the familiar sound of Keyblade summoning, seeing the Stormfall in her hand. Is she gonna do what I think she's gonna do?! I turned my head a bit more around the block to make sure nobody was around to see what she was about to do. Some cars were still in driveways, but for the most part it looked like people were still either asleep, getting through their morning routine, or already at work from the looks of the remaining cars. Before I could say anything, the Keyblade already left Aqua's hand and spiraled into the air, before arching around and transforming into her Keyblade Glider.
She hopped onto the hovering craft and motioned for me to get on behind her. "You'll have to hold on tight, I don't have any memory of having a passenger before."
"Yeah, because THAT'S reassuring." I sarcastically said. Though I didn't see any better way of getting to school on time without hailing a taxi, so I went along with her idea and got on, hugging myself close to her so I wouldn't slip and plummet to my doom once we started flying.
"Just point me in the right direction, and I'll get us there in no time." Considering that the Gliders could be used in Rumble Racing, I have no doubt that these things could pump out 100 mph easily, which would me more than fast enough if we're going for a straight shot to the school. I just hope we fly high enough so that we don't end up being seen by the public... or if we do, let's please just be mistaken for a plane. Though I brought this upon myself... thankfully I'm not afraid of heights... anymore.
"No problem. Let's go." I soon came to regret my words as we rose into the sky, and pretty damn high and quickly if I might add. Though from this altitude, I don't think we'll have a problem of people identifying us as a UFO or anything... which is what I keep telling myself. The one thing I pray doesn't happen is that the military doesn't get involved with this. Though I probably just jinxed myself... And I was shaken by my thoughts when we suddenly accelerated towards the downtown area!
This... this is just the beginning of my day. I can't help but feel like there's something bad coming our way. Sinister... maybe even evil. Motion sickness might be the least of my worries before lunch.
"And there's your new chapter 2! I know, it's a short chapter. I remember the original being longer and having more content in it, but I was REALLY bad at pacing when I was in middle school. I'm sure many of us were, so I'm trying to space things out a bit more. What I have backed up from the old chapter 3 will likely end up being our chapter 4 or 5."
"But anyway, I wanted to get this out there, I've been working on it for like a week, but I haven't had a lot of time for writing. Between my overnight shifts at work, sleeping during the daytime hours, or binge-watching anime on Netflix and kissanime like I have been."
"Oh, and as far as writing goes, I've had my usual thousand ideas and have set up a couple ideas from the bunch that I'll be posting as Alternate Chronicle One-Shots. Basically a few stories, as well as some other individual one-shots or stories that I'll put up in the future and see if you guys and gals like them enough to become full-fledged stories. Though with how things work with me, it'll probably be a long time coming before anything gets finished anyway..."
"I've got two more updates to go for my personal goal I've set up. So expect some more content by the coming of October 1st. Don't forget to leave a review and tell your friends! Until next time, ja ne!"
