Kizu: You made me useless...

Me: Shush and disclaim! This is an epic moment! Oh and I fail at writing battle scenes...

Kizu: Eve doesn't own Kingdom Hearts.. Just me... Oh and review so she can know HOW she fails.

Me: ...thanks?

Kizu's Point of View

Roxas made it look so easy to fight. Each movement looked like he was trained to do it a million times and never get tired. I was shocked when I saw him against the wall like that. It never occurred to me that he could get hurt at all.

"Roxas!" I yelled out to him, jumping off the ledge and trying to land without injury, "Are you alright?" I saw him nod and nearly sighed out loud in relief, but I kept my composure.

"I'll be fine. It just caught me by surprise," he responded, standing up, summoning his key-like weapon, and drinking a Potion. I then watched helplessly as Roxas ran off to fight off the third Heartless. I hated how I couldn't do anything but hold the shield shaped shards in my hands, hoping that he wouldn't get hurt. I can't stand anyone getting hurt.

Roxas seemed a little winded when he was fighting but he was still strong. Although he was knocked back a few times by the lasers, he still got up and fought back. After no more than three blows, the Shining Gem had dropped to the ground.

"That's the last one, right?" he said as I walked pass him and picked up the shard.

"Yes. But it would be useful to collect a few more," I responded, holding the three gems in my arms, "The more I have, the more items I can make from them."

"What are you going to make with them anyway?" Roxas asked while walking through an opening in the wall.

Following him once again, I replied, "I might make a few Elixirs or something."

"So I'm just the one that does the work while you get the benefits?" he questioned.

"I can't fight and I need supplies. Think of it as a favor," I coolly countered. He stopped walking and just glared at me for a second before my eyes widened, "Roxas look out!"

He quickly spun around to be greeted by a large, black winged Heartless diving at him. Its teal body had a white abdomen with a Heartless emblem on it. The basic structure resembled a dragon but had yellow on the tips of its feet and morning star like tail.

Roxas couldn't react in time and was knocked back into a nearby wall by being head-butted in the stomach. I saw him cough up a little blood before I turned to the Heartless that landed and was gazing my way. The second I took a step back was the second the Tailbunker lunged at me. I braced myself for the blow but saw Roxas tackle it and slash at it with his Keyblade, knocking it to the side.

"Why does he keep protecting me?" I asked myself as I ran next to him, "Are you okay?"

He used his free hand to wipe off some trickling blood from the corner of his mouth. "Yeah. I'm off today," he replied and then stood back into a fighting stance, "The Tailbunker isn't gone yet though."

I turned my head toward the Heartless. It had staggered onto its two legs and then screeched loudly, nearly deafening me. Afterward, the Tailbunker shot out four fireballs from its mouth that curved slightly and then aimed at one target, which was Roxas. He quickly took a few steps backward and aimed his weapon at the incoming flames, yelling, "Blizzara!" A small ball of icy mist flew out of the tip of his Keyblade and exploded when it came in contact with the fire, nullifying the Heartless' attempt of an attack. The opponent was frustrated because the fire didn't hit and spin-dived down at Roxas, creating whirling yellow streaks. He quickly dodge-rolled away and yelled out, "Blizzard!" This time, a small ice cube came out of the tip of his Keyblade and followed the Tailbunker. After a few seconds, the ice cube created a small explosion onto the Heartless, freezing one of its wings. He then lunged at it while it was down, slashing a few times before the pink, crystallized heart was captured and a small tile with a red Nobody's emblem was dropped.

Roxas leaned against his Keyblade and picked up the item as I ran toward him, "How did you know to use ice magic?"

"I fought Tailbunkers before," he responded, slightly distracted, "But this one seemed stronger… They're usually gone after just one Blizzard."

"Maybe the Heartless get stronger over time?" I said then pointed at the tile, "What's that anyway?"

"It's a Gear Component B," he replied, "They're used to synthesize Keyblades. Well, I have to go somewhere now. Head back to the Castle before me."

"Where are you going?"

"Just to check up on things. I'll head back soon."

I shrugged, opened up a Corridor of Darkness, and walked in.

Entry 16: First Mission

I accompanied Roxas today for a mission in Twilight Town. I needed to find more about him so I assigned the mission. We collected Shining Gems, even though the original task would have been to collect Shining Shards. The gems are more useful so oh well. I saw him fight and was in awe but I was also useless. Being unable to fight wasn't a good choice, so he needed to do all of the fighting. He protected me. Even though I commanded him left and right, he protected me against the Heartless because I couldn't fight.

Was it bravery or stupidity? I'm not so sure. But I felt like I was useless.. and I'm warming up toward him. It feels like he does belong. Something still isn't right about those three being together. Feelings.. again…

Anyway, I'm planning on making some items with the Gems. Maybe something for Roxas, because he helped me collect them. I'm not sure yet. I might have Roxas, Axel, and Xion do a mission together with me tomorrow. I have to see who doesn't belong. I'm sure, someone doesn't.

He protected me today. I still can't believe it.
