Chapter 4: Nostalgia
Kathleen lifted her katana to block Sephiroth's blow. The force of the attack knocked her to the ground. Sephiroth jumped towards Kathleen with his sword aimed to stab her. Kathleen rolled out of the way as Sephiroth hit the ground wih the sound of scraping metal on rock deafening her ears. Kathleen got back on her feet, she stood in a fighting stance as she stared at Sephiroth.
"What the Hell are you doing?!" Kathleen shouted at Sephiroth as he drew his masamune.
"Only teaching," he said silently as he charged towards Kathleen, swword gripped tightly in his hands, ready to strike.
Jackie was face to face with Xemnas. She was looking into his fiery orange eyes that seemed to penetrate her soul. He roughly grabbed her by the front of her shirt and lifted her high. Jackie was getting fed up with Xemnas, even though she had only met him for a short period of time.
"What the Hell do you want from me?! I know that it isn't just my heart you want, it's something else. So what is it that you want from me?" she shouted to Xemnas.
"You know more than you let off. What your heart contains and what your memories behold is what I need," he coldly answered.
"Then why, of all people, do you want my memories?"
"Your heart is near darkness. The times you beg for your heart to be gone, so you will not suffer anymore. That is the reason you were chosen."
Jackie couldn't figure out what Xemnas was talking about. My memories? Why would Xemnas need those? Jackie asked herself.
"Xemnas, I'll be a servant in order to live here and I'll give you my heart when it's broken, if that's what it takes to save Kathleen, as for the memories..." Xemnas eyes started to shine with hunger in them. "I would give to you if I knew what you wanted, then I would tell you the important information. But my life is uneventful and I highly doubt you can find anything useful."
"I doubt that. Either way, I will get your heart and the memories it contains. Even if your mind forgets, your most important memories will forever be inside your heart," with that as his concluding statement, Xemnas threw Jackie hard against the wall, bits of the wall broke and fell on her, cutting and crushing her. He disappeared into a portal as Jackie slid down to the floor. Her vision started to disappear as she lost consiousness. the last thing she saw was a bright white flash.
Jackie woke up. She was in another bright white room. She was sitting in a chair at a desk. Across from Jackie was Namine, she was drawing."Namine, what am I doing here?" Jackie asked, her voice was very sad, almost like she was about to cry.
"After Xemnas threw you against the wall, I took you to my room where I bandaged your wounds," Namine answered calmly, there was a look of nostalgia in her eyes. It was now obvious that Namine had gone through something similiar, but Jackie never knew that before.
Jackie but her hand on her forehead and felt gauge there. There was some wrapped around her head, left wrist, upper arm, right foot, and some around her chest and shoulders. A throw against the wall wouldn't cause that much damage would it? Jackie also noticed she was in a different outfit. It was one of Namine's white dresses. Jackie got up from the chair, but her right leg gave out and she fell. The pain in her right foot hurt so much. Jackie ignored the pain and walked toward Namine, slightly limping.
"Were the clothes that hopelessly ruined that I had to wake up in another outfit again?" she asked Namine.
"Yes," Namine softly answered. Jackie walked behind Namine to see what she was drawing. Jackie let out a small gasp when she saw the drawing. It was of herself after Xemnas threw her against the wall, there was chunks of debris and ruble around her. The sight of blood was on most of the visible parts of Jackie's body. It was too graphic for her to handle at the moment. She never knew that Namine would draw things like this, but then, it was for memory purposes. Wait, memories!
"Namine, do you have any idea what Xemnas was talking about when he asked for my memories?" Jackie asked as the idea came to her.
"Not really, was there something you did in your past that he would want to know about?' Namine answered and asked.
"I can't think of anything at the moment," Jackie answered. Come to think of it, how did Jackie know Xemnas and how did she know anything about Namine? She remembered she knew something important about everyone in the castle, but she couldn't think of what it was. Nothing came to her mind, nothing at all. She tried to concentrate some more, but her train of thought was interrupted when the door opened.
Axel, Roxas and Demyx walked into the room. Jackie started to cry, she didn't know why. It could have been that Xemnas hurt her, her decisions, her loved ones that she missed desperately, the fact that she basically sold herself to a group of nobodies that she had no reason to trust or her lack of sanctuary. Or it could have been that all of those had added up and the relization of those had been triggered by the presence of the four half-way decent nobodies. She didn't know what to do, she wanted somebody to console her. The nobodies stared at her, they couldn't do anything because they didn't have emotions that they were aware of yet.
Jackie walked to the door, she wiped her tears away. She had to bottle her emotions, they would only continue to hurt her if she had to live in this world that claimed to be what never was. She had lost a little bit of her soul everytime she bottled her feelings. But that was necessary if no one would help her.
"Sorry about that," she said to the nobodies in a voice that indicated pain. "What are you guys doing here anyways?" she asked the three nobodies at the door.
"We came to take you to your new room," Roxas answered.
"I actually got a room?!" Jackie asked, she was quite shocked.
"You asked for one didn't you?" Demyx asked her.
"Yeah, I did, but I guess I didn't expect one," Jackie nervously replied. She was about to leave the room when she quickly turned around,"Oh, I almost forgot. Namine, thanks for helping me out and lending me this dress, I'll do my best to remember to return it to you," Jackie was already out of the room before she could hear Namine's reply.
Roxas, Demyx, Axel and Jackie walked down the massive hallway. "Hey Axel, how did that prank with the lighter fluid go?" Jackie asked Axel.
"We didn't do it," he answered
"Why not?"
"You accidently kissing Demyx was enough fun for us that day," Roxas replied. With that, Axel pushed Jackie into Demyx, knocking them both onto the floor. Jackie was a little angry with this, she lifted her left leg and tried to hit the nearest laughing idiot in the crotch. Her foot made contact with Roxas' crotch and he croutched in pain, a few tears were escaping his eyes. Axel laughed even harder at Roxas' misfortune, but his laughing turned into an angry moan of pain as Roxas punched him in the crotch. This reminded Jackie of the good times she had before she left her world. Jackie and Demyx started to laugh as they got up from the floor. It reminded Jackie of the good times at home. A loud sound of knocking stopped their laughing.
"Dammit! Not now!" shouted Axel as he straightened up and started running. The rest of the nobodies and Jackie followed suit. All of them had a look of dread on their face and poor Jackie didn't have any idea what was going on. They all ran until they reached the entrance, where the source of the knocking was. The rest of the organization was there, weapons drawn and ready to fight.
"What's going on?" Jackie finally asked.
"Another heartless invasion I think," Demyx answered. The organization and Jackie waited at the door for a few minutes.
"Is somebody going to open the door?" Xigbar impatiently asked. All eyes turned on Jackie at the mention of the word somebody. Larxene shoved Jackie towards the door. She stumbled, but grabbed the handle of the door for balance and then pulled it open.
The door opened, not to reveal an army of heartless, but a really short girl with glasses, very poofy brown hair that was chin length, and a red t-shirt with the letter I, a heart, and the image of a manga character on it. She had a wagon behind that had a tremendous load of items on it.
"Hi! Would any of you be interested in buying some anime goods?" she asked with a huge smile on her face. The organization just stared at her. Jackie let out a high pitch scream when she finally recognized the girl.
Kathleen attempted to dodge and block Sephiroth's attack. It failed miserably as she was thrown back again. She was at the edge of the floating island. Sephiroth swung his sword and hit her again. The sword flew out of Kathleen's hands as she fell over the edge. She almost disappeared from Sephiroth's veiw, but with quick thinking, she grabbed onto the side of the island.
Kathleen climbed back onto the island. She got onto the even surface. She looked around, she had no weapons and Sephiroth was still attacking. Kathleen had no choice, she had to use her bare fists. Sephiroth unleashed another horizontal blow.
Kathleen jumped to such a height she never knew she could jump. She unleahed a battle cry as she dived down to Sephiroth. Using the force of gravity to her advantage, Kathleen punched Sephiroth in the chest, knocking him into the ground. She looked at her defeated love as he stared at her with a smile that spread across his face. A feeling of nostalgia came over him as he stared at her red-brown eyes and her almost black hair that hung over her face.

Xejicka: Hope you enjoyed the reading! I know that it took a more dramatic tone and I know that crotch hitting is an immature form of comic relief. But I've got other things to worry about.
Thalkxene: She needs to find what true heart is in any other language besides English and Spanish. She also needs to find some very unique weapon ideas for her OCs.
Xejicka: If anybody can help me out with that, I'll give them some quiche.
Thalkxene: But quiche is gross and it gives me gas.
Xejicka: Stop complaining! Please R&R and I'll find you a treat.
