Chapter Four
Meeting The Trinity

The night past quickly and Sora and his companions slept. No one knew that in the morning the excitement would be that of a much safer kind. As they awoke the next morning, there was a loud knock on the door, then a girl entered. She had black hair like mine, but not as bright because it didn't shimmer like mine did. She also had black eyes, but still was quite beautiful in the morning light. Though she wore all black. An ankle-long dress, cloak complete with hood. Strangely, no shoes, but Sora recalled that I hadn't been wearing shoes yesterday either.

"So you're the new comers that we were told about," she said without making any introductions about herself. Who was this girl?

"Yes. I'm Sora and this is Riku…."

"I know who you all are. Ollin told us all this morning at breakfast. I decided to come and see you before I went to do some mediation," she said.

"And who are you?" Leon asked.

"Dazara." She said one word.

"Dazara, that is a lovely name," Kairi said.

"What?" The girl turned on Kairi.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"Dazara means…."

"My Beautiful Angel of Darkness is of course what Dazara means," a young man rushed into the room and scooped her off her feet.

"Sam! Put me down." A smile came to her lips.

"Come on, Beautiful." They kissed, then Sam hurried out of the room with her in his arms.

After the exit, another girl entered. This girl had blonde hair and sky blue eyes. Her aura was exactly the opposite of Dazara's. She wore a silver dress. "Sorry about Dazara. She gets easily offended when anyone says anything is beautiful about her. Only Sam can get away with it, and her sisters, me included. She lives in some kind of alternate universe were beauty is an insult. It doesn't matter though, out of the four of us, she has the least amount of beauty. In fact, she doesn't know it, but most people said she is the least beautiful girl in this world, but still respect her because they know she can kill in an instant. She has a horrible temper."

"I heard that, Cheria!" Dazara shouted. "You have five seconds to take that back!"

"Bye." She rushed out of the room. "I have no intention of taking it back!" She ran down the hall. Dazara was hot on her heels, yelling. Sam trailed behind them, laughing.

After a while, they heard quiet footsteps, and then they heard a small voice say: "Are you sad, Mom?" It was me and my cubs.

"A little bit, Harmony."

"Do you need to see Uncle Kojiko?" another asked.

"That crazed phoenix is the last person I want to see right now. Oh, speak of the devil." I saw the ash-black hair of the phoenix down the hall coming directly toward me.

"Seriana, may I be of service to you this fine morning?" He said.

"Good morning, Kojiko," I said, smiling. But it was totally fake and he knew it.

"Ah ha, you're not cheerful at all. I can tell by your voice," He said, grinning his mischievous grin.

"Kojiko, I don't need you're wise cracks right now, okay?" I held up my hands.

"But Seriana, if you stick with me for a couple of hours, you'll be laughing in no time." He threw his arms around me. Oh great, here I was standing in the arms of the King of Flirts.

"Kojiko, let go of me," I said.

"Say you love me," he said, giggling.

"Kojiko, I mean it." I was not happy.

"Say you love me." He was still giggling insanely.

Then I saw my escape route. Clad in all black with black hair that hung past his shoulders. Nightmare was standing in the hall looking in the opposite direction. "Help me," I said and Nightmare turned to see me trying to pry Kojiko's arms off me.

"Hey, Bird Brain, let Seriana go," he called.

Kojiko whirled to see Nightmare. "Puppy." He threw his arms wide and ran toward him.

"Pigeon, if you throw your arms around me, I swear…." Kojiko did throw his arms around Nightmare anyway. I hurried away in the other direction.

Sora and Riku poked their heads out the door in time to see Nightmare pick Kojiko up and throw him against the nearest wall. Kojiko's body was engulfed in flames, then he reappeared exactly as he had before he had burst in to flames and began to sing a ridiculous song about puppies, birds, and whatever else came to his mind. Kairi joined them at the door to enjoy his performance. Kojiko threw his arm around Nightmare. Nightmare tried to step away, but Kojiko followed his movements. Hope entered the hall in time to see Kojiko try and jump in to Nightmare's arms. Then he spotted her.

"Hope!" He ran toward her, arms as wide as his goofy grin. Hope moved to the side and Kojiko flew past her and from the sounds of it, ran into a wall with something in front it. "For the last time, Kojiko, I'm a happily mated woman." She said, and turned to Nightmare.

Then another girl entered the hall. "I think that was one of Dad's favorite vases." Hope sighed and moved down the hall. "I'll fix it." Suddenly she was back. Kojiko was chasing her. "For the last time Kojiko, I'm not single anymore."

Nightmare growled. "Pigeon, stop chasing my Alpha unless you want to die twice in one hour."

"I've died twice already today. My record though is fifty-eight times. My hour record is five," Kojiko said, bowing.

"Someone get me a burlap bag and the directions to the nearest water source," Nightmare said. "Remember that one, Bird Brain?"

"Oh please, don't do that." Kojiko said, groaning. "When Zerona did that to me, I was miserable forever. It took me a year to grow up again and I hated it."

"Until after six months and you figured out you had a voice again, then you started singing," Hope called. She had headed down the hall and was probably go to fix the broken vase.

"Anyway, where did gorgeous Seriana disappear to?" Kojiko said. "Oh well, majestic Tara is here." He grabbed Tara around the waist, spinning her around.

"Kojiko, put me down. I came to meet the guests, then I'll find Zacks and go do my daily mediation, as we all should do." She pushed Kojiko away a little harder than necessary. He fell over flat on his back. She turned to see all of the Key Bladers watching the action in the hall now. "No need to be timid, come on out," the girl said. "I'm Tara, Balance of the Trinity," she said as they all left the room and entered the hall.

"Hooray, there are more girls to be my best friends today!" Kojiko jumped to his feet.
