Sorry for the shorter than norm chappie. Due to the fatal combination of school, exams, project work, writer's block and little bros invading the computer, I have failed to post this sooner(and with such a short length too -_-) Well…see ya… if I live long enough to go thru Junior College.

The agreement between men and dragon was written in an enchanted scroll and sealed somewhere unknown to everyone but The Keeper. Since the Dragon is of sky and fire and men, earth and sea, The Keeper decided to keep the scroll suspended somewhere where neither man nor dragon can access to it until needed for fear the scroll to be tampered with. That place was called Kingdom of hearts where only pure hearts exist and enormous energy is contained. Only The Keeper knew how to unlock the portal to the dimension. It was difficult, though.
….
It was dusk. The sun was setting, splashing the never ending sky with brilliant shades of red, orange and a tinge of pink. It was simply beautiful, how nature works everyday bringing joy to the simplest things in life. The silhouette of the trees made a very nice contrast to the now darkening sky.
Roxas watched the sun setting in the horizon. The colors of the forest were slowly fading to black. There was no rain yet there was a thick raincoat nearby, next to him on the thick branch. It looked too small on him and worn. Zooming out, Roxas was seen sitting on a branch of an enormous tree that overlooked other vegetations. A little beyond the tree was the familiar steep slope and the cave disguised as a rock jutting out of the slope.
"I still remember, you know." Roxas muttered to himself. His eyes reverted to the cave. It was five years ago when he met her. It was that afternoon that he saw her leave. A feeling near the pit of his heart felt heavy with a foreseen feeling that she might not come back they way she was or not come back at all. For the better or worse, he did not know. Unfortunately, he came to trust his gut feeling too much.
"You put this raincoat on me." A smile formed on his now moonlight touched face. "And told me it was over. I still remember, you know."
His eyes focused expectantly on the huge bump on the hillside as if willing it to talk back.
"Then we become fast friends. It was like summer break. Life was actually fun afterwards. You taught me so much...we had happy times. I guess…I guess summer break is over for me."
Something cool slid down his cheek. Roxas brought a hand to touch the wet substance to discover it to be a tear.
"Silly me…I'm not supposed to cry. Because you'll be back, right?" His hand clenched onto the thick cloth. "You promised. And you never break them on purpose."
He curled himself into a tight ball with the raincoat surrounded by his arms, while balancing himself on the branch. "Come back already. I miss you." He whispered into the cloth.

Green was busy humming along a tune she made up herself while mixing some potion though she accidently put in some cake mixture inside as well. Her absent-mindedness along with the lack of enthusiasm at her work clearly showed her fondness and distress over the departure of her favorite (and only) goddaughter.
Beyond the kitchen into the depths of the ground was Pink. Under the pale bluish white light, Pink was seemingly deciphering the flyer of Namine's school that was sent along with the letter. ('Never talk to me about that person again!') Blue meanwhile was hovering around the trapdoor; torn between thinking of comforting Green or approach Pink about her maniactic attempts to decode an innocent piece of paper. She finally climbed down towards the basement just as Green discovered the impurities and emptied the dud potion into the bin.
"Pink…" Blue started but was immediately interrupted by Pinks eureka moment.
"Blue! Oh dear, it's Malefecient!" Blue perked up at the vile name and hurried towards Pink.
"What is it?" She demanded.
"It's a trap. Our Namine is walking to a trap! Malefecient…she's the head of the school."
Blue looked over her shoulder. "But it says Mrs Mal there."
"Don't you see? The rest is covered by that black mark over there."
"That was a coffee stain, Pink." Blue was starting to lose her patience.
"Ahh, you are clearly being deluded by her magic. Darkness warps reality in such a way to create illusion. Tell me, since when do we drink coffee?"
Blue was silenced.
"White light reveals all the shadows hidden." Pink quoted. "Green, come here dear."
Footsteps echoed around the library and Green moved towards Pink in quick light steps.
"I heard Malefecient." Green stated darkly. "What do your require, Pink?"
"Test this." Pink handed the flyer over and Green caught a strange whiff of something.
"A very diluted potion of Disturbia(a/n: hahah nice word ^^) interlaced with slight dark magic. That is her all right." Coolly, Green strolled over to the bluish white flame and placed the paper in the flame itself. The paper soon caught fire.
"Green!" Blue exclaimed. "Don't destroy the evidence!"
Her voice was soon drowned out by another deeper and hollower sound.
"As you enter into Oblivion there you'll stay,
Under my care all unaware,
Slowly you will all fall under influence,
Being led to my dance.
You won't escape even when you're free,
Cause your body and soon, your mind will be with me."
The smoky dragon that curled from the burnt flyer finally uncurled back to harmless smoke. All was burnt except for a tiny piece.
"*Reversal code." Blue stated.
Under the bluish white light, the three godmothers huddled together and tried to read the faint writing on the paper.
"Break the circle?"
…..
"We'll be sleeping in the hall?"
Namine looked up. All around her, the girls all tittered angrily at such order. Namine understands why though sympathy towards them was a little off. They were after all used to sleep in plush beds with the softest linens all surrounded by dolls. It may be a stereotypical assumption but it really does have a bulk of truth to them.
It was not yet an hour to her time within the gates of Oblivion school for the…girls yet Namine already feels that she may and will never fit in. All the girls are simply pretending to be ladies or just being plain spoiled. Though she won't admit it out loud. Who was she to define 'spoiled'?
"That's what you get when you got sent to a school based on the dough you roll." Namine muttered.
"Yes, with all those girls lording with each other, I must say, what weird people!"
"Yes, really weird." Namine agreed.
There was a pause… a hand was suddenly thrust underneath her nose and with a surprised yelp, Namine leaped a foot away from the sudden movement. Slowly, blue orbs moved upwards to reveal to the blond an energetic and somewhat dangerous looking red head. It was her hand that nearly gave Namine a heart attack.
"Did they teach you how to shake hands or just bow?" The red head mocked but her face was full of laughter.
Namine could feel the corners of her mouth turning upwards. Namine then clasp her outstretched hand tightly into her own.
"Namine."
"Kairi. Glad that they have at least one sane person in this looney bin."
…
*Reversal code means instructions on how to undo curses or any form of magic for that matter. To find the code though…is another thing. Yes, I have a theory that somewhere, there is a reversal code for time ^^
So yeah. Take note of those tiny sub stories in italics tho. I love puzzles ^^
