Disclaimer: I do not own any of these charaters except for one. I do own this idea.
Chapter three
Xion and I decided to spend the day at the park. As we were on our way, we bumped into Sora and Kairi. They were such a cute couple. "Hey!" I greeted them happily. "Where are you guys going?"
"We're just walking around. You?" Kairi replied.
"To the park. Want to come?" I offered. I loved hanging out with them.
"Sure." Sora answered. "You mind if Roxas comes?"
"And Naminé?" Kairi added. I looked over at Xion, who's cheeks were red, but I couldn't say no.
"Sure, no problem!" I elbowed Xion.
"Y-Ya. What she said." Xion mumbled with a fake smile on her face.
"Okay, I'll call them. Hopefully you and Roxas won't kill each other." Kairi joked at Sora and rolled her eyes as she walked off to a nearby phone booth. I laughed because it was true. Roxas and Sora are the kind of siblings that would end up killing each other one day. Sora laughed too. "Your sister's got a point Xion." Kairi and Xion look identical except for the hair, just like Sora and Roxas. Xion is still only a couple of months younger than Kairi but they get along really well. Like friends more than like sisters. "Ya..." Xion mumbled. She turned away and walked to the curb where she sat down with a depressed look on her face. All the joy that she had this morning was gone. She was NOT excited to hang out with Roxas. "What's up with her?" Sora asked with a confused look on her face. "Was it something I said?"
"No, I think that she's just afraid that if he sees her, he'll leave." I walked over to where she was and sat next to her. "Don't worry Xion. This isn't the first time that we've all hung out together. Just act normal." I tried to comfort her.
"It's the first time since my birthday..." She said solemnly. I sighed.
"Well, you're just gonna have to deal with it because we can't go home now. It would be rude." I helped her up.
"Okay.." We walked back over to Kairi and Sora.
"They said they would meet us there." Kairi said. "Let's get going."
We walked and talked about random subjects. When we got there we played on the swings and slides. All of a sudden, Xion went face-planting into the ground with Naminé on top of her back. "HI COUSIN!" She yelled in Xion's ear. She lifted her face which was covered in sand. "Naminé! Get off of me.." She whined. Naminé laughed and got off of her. Xion got up slowly and wiped her face with her arm. She then gave Naminé a proper hello hug. "Hello to you too!" Xion laughed. She was in a happy mood again. "Hello other cousin!" Naminé waved to Kairi who was on a teeter-totter with Sora. She waved backed but was to busy laughing at Sora, who was close to falling off, to say hi back. Naminé also looked like she could be Kairi and Xion's sister instead of just a cousin. They could pull off being triplets if they wanted to if it wasn't for Xion's short black hair, Kairi's auburn hair and Naminé's long blonde hair. "Hey guys." We all turned to see Roxas coming up to us. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Xion standing there. Xion looked at him, then at me with her big glassy blue eyes, and ran away. Roxas took a step forward and sort of reached out, as if to tell her wait, but she didn't notice. "Xion!" I called out to her, but she kept on going. "UGH!" I was exasperated. All of a sudden Roxas ran past me in the direction that Xion ran. I looked at the others but they all shrugged. We all decided to go and see what was happening. We all hid behind a bush and watched the scene.
Roxas walked up to Xion who was sitting against a tree with her head on her knees. "Go away Rae." She mumbled. I snorted, only to be shushed by my friends.
"It's not Rae. It's Roxas." He said sweetly. Xion whipped her head up to look at him. She immediately wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Oh, uh, bye." She got up to leave but Roxas ran up to her and grabbed her hand. Naminé squealed. Sora imitated her squeal and got slapped by Kairi.
He stuck his tongue out at her.
"WAIT! Don't go... Please?" Roxas gave her these huge blue eyes that she couldn't look away from.
"W-Why? Don't you never w-want to see m-me again? I didn't mean t-to embarrass you at my birthday!" The tears were returning to her eyes. "Larxene is just evil! I'm s-so sorry! We used to be b-best friends and now we d-don't sp-sp-speak! I miss talking to you! I wish I never was g-going to tell you!" She was blubbering and did not take one breath between each sentence. She did that when she was nervous. She could talk for hours, like Vanille. She never looked away from his eyes. He looked like he was going to cry and he had a small smile on his lips. "I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I AM SO SORRY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I'M-" Roxas silenced the babbling Xion with a kiss. Her eyes went wide in shock. He pulled away.
"Uh, I, uh, ya.." he muttered. She looked at him with awe and gave him a hug.
"I wanted to tell you that I love you..." She said. He returned her hug.
"I love you too." He mumbled.
"Awww!" Kairi, Naminé and I whispered. We were so happy for them.
"Yuck..." Sora muttered.
"But you say that you love me." Kairi gave him puppy dog eyes.
"Uh, yeah but that's different." He said. She gave him a light kiss on his cheek which made his face go pink.
"AHH!" Naminé shrieked. There was a HUGE spider crawling on the bush. We all screamed and pushed Sora in front of us.
"Oh please! How 'scary' can this spider be?" He then took one look at it and screamed like a girl in a horror movie. The whole bush was rustling, so I'm guessing Roxas and Xion knew we saw everything. We all went flying out of the bush and landed at their feet. Their faces were in frowns, but they were as red as tomatoes. "Hehe, hello." We all said in sync. We all ended up laughing our heads off. Sora, Roxas, Kairi and Xion decided to walk home and I walked Naminé home in a different direction. We decided to give the two couples some time together.
Once I got home I went straight to my room and shut my door. "Come on furball!" I heard Issun calling out to Ammy. He had a habit of calling her 'furball' instead of by her name. "Leave her alone!" I heard Eiko answer. They started bickering and Ammy started barking. My mom started yelling and my dad blasted the television so he could ignore them. Even in the comfort of my own room, I felt like I was standing in the middle of it. I threw my pillow over my head and it wasn't long before I fell asleep.
I had no dreams that night, but awoke to a brush of cold air against my skin. I opened my eyes and stared at the clock. 3:30 am. Lucky for me, I didn't have school tomorrow. I shivered and pulled my blankets around me.
"Which one of you decided to wake me up by opening my window?" I grumbled. I sat up to see Aerith and Zack sitting on my bed. Aerith pointed to Zack. "It was his idea." Zack rolled his eyes.
"Good Morning. Sort of..." Zack said. I yawned.
"Well, let's get down to business so I can go back to sleep." I was tired.
"Okay." Aerith started. "You know how you have been having dreams about running away, and how last night you had a dream that sort of explained why?" I nodded. "They are future events." She looked at Zack. Now he continued.
"The necklace is an important source of power that anyone who is evil will want. You have been chosen as the keeper, just as your grandmother was."
"Whoa! Wait a second... Is that why my grandfather new so many legends? He said my grandmother passed away right after they were married." Zack looked at Aerith for her to continue. "Yes, it is. Now the necklace will be passed down to you on your eighteenth birthday. Remember the man in your dreams?"
"Sephiroth?" I asked.
"Yes. He is the person who killed me. He stabbed me through the heart." She said sadly.
"And he betrayed me and your grandfather." Zack added.
"Huh?" I was so confused.
"Your grandfather... He is Cloud Strife, yes?" Aerith asked.
"Yeah, why? He died two years ago from a disease that he got, from when he was a soldier." I explained.
"And your grandmother is Tifa Lockheart?" Zack said like he already knew the answer.
"Yes, but why?" I was too tired to be disussing these kind of things.
"Your Grandmother died because the necklace killed her. The power was too overcoming." He said like he was reading out of a story book.
"Does that mean that this necklace will kill me?" I wondered.
"Not if you don't use it's heart of power."
"Heart of power?"
"If the necklace uses it's heart of power it could grant you one wish, but you will die in the process. Your grandmother used the power without knowing she would die. This is why we are telling you." Aerith explained gravely.
"So basically, don't use it's heart of power, unless you want to die?"
"Yup." Zack grinned.
"Wait, why is Sephiroth so young looking if you guys were all the same age? If my grandpa was old, shouldn't he be?" I asked.
"Do you remember him mentioning a 'Master Xehanort?' in your dream?"
"Yes, I do."
"He is working with Xehanort, so to get Sephiroth to do what he wants, he granted him the power to never age."
"So, he will never die then?"
"Not necessarily. He can die, but only if he's killed."
"So... you guys are warning me about what's going to happen, because you want me to kill him?" They nodded.
"Your the only one who can. Xehanort wants the necklace, so he will stop at nothing to get it." Zack said.
"By the way, your grandfather and grandmother were not keyblade masters. Sephiroth isn't either, but Xehanort is. The keyblade is very powerful, and you have one." Aerith said.
"No I don't." I think I would know if I had a weapon.
"Not yet, but it will find you and your friends that were in the dream with you." She told me.
"Why wasn't Vanille there?"
"Because... Well let's just say you and Vanille aren't friends at that point." Zack said with an upset look on his face.
"WHAT?" I was shocked. Vanille and I, not friends? I hate the future.
"You will have to deal with that on your own. Anyway, we will keep on sending you riddling dreams to help. We aren't aloud to tell you all of it."
"Wait, you said before that they dreams would come true? All of it?" I was thinking of Xion.
"Uh..." He paused. They knew I was thinking about that part.
"What? Just tell me!" I was anxious for his answer.
"It will happen..." He said solemnly.
"Which means... No... She can't!" I was beginning to cry. Aerith held my hand.
"I'm sorry, but your dream will come true, and when it does... She will die." The tears began to pour out.
"Can I prevent certain parts?"
"You can try but it will be very hard." Aerith tried to comfort me.
"Thank you for helping me." I sniffed. "Will I be seeing you again?"
"If you ever want to talk, just call out our names and we will be here. At anytime of the day, if you want." Aerith wiped my tears and then pulled me into a big hug. Zack did the same.
"Bye, and thank you." I said quietly.
"Bye, and goodnight." They both said and waved as they faded.
I sat up for a long time and cried. I had to find a way to prevent Xion from dying... I just had to...
