I don't know what to say so here it is.
Chapter 4!
Kira's POV
This is ridiculous. I think as Zexion holds me up and helps me take steps toward the wall a few feet away. Why do I have to take walking lessons? I had ran about a mile away from here two days ago until I bumped until that guy. I don't need this.
But sadly, Zexion and Vexen thought it'd be better for me to learn how to walk first and say yes and no so all I can do now is go along with it but I just can't.
I snatch my arm away from Zexion and walk to the wall, effortlessly. I tap it and hold my arms out in a, See, I can do this, way.
He shrugs and says, "I know that you can but Sensei wants to be sure."
I growl, sit onto my knees and cross my arms in front of my chest.
"Yes. No. Daren." I say.
"Quit it. I don't know who that it is. Just stick to the yes and no's."
I nod and watch him step up to the computer. He sits before it and starts to type things in.
That's all he does besides talking to Vexen or treating me like a child.
And all I've been doing here for the past three days is:
Learning how to walk and speak. Watching Zexion and Vexen speak in their scientific language. Just sitting around. And having nightmares every night.
Mostly watching. But the nightmares, they're always the same. Always about my death. Then I wake up screaming. But there's no one here to comfort me. So, I lay back and stare up at the ceiling until I manage to fall asleep only to face a short version of it or wait until Zexion or Vexen come in.
Speaking (or thinking) of Vexen, where is he? Oh right, he left to talk to some guy named Xemnas.
That gives me an idea.
I slowly get up and sneak toward the door. Hopefully, Zexion won't look toward the door or back where I was sitting.
I'm a few feet away when the door slides open and my eyes widen in fear. For in front of me is a man in the black coat with the hood off, exposing his features. He looks middle aged with white streaks mixing with his long black hair in a ponytail, an eye patch covering the right of his gold eyes, and a scar down his left cheek. The same scar on the cheek of the man who carried me through the halls. Could they both be the man who shot me in Twilight Town?
I take a step back and make trembling cries. The man cackles the same way as the other and says in the exact same voice,
"Well, she's looking better, Zexy."
The schemer looks our way, noticing the two of us and gets up to join us.
I scream and hide behind him, clutching the back of his coat tightly.
"Uhhh…this is odd." Zexion says and tries to pull me out but I hang on tighter.
"Just checking up on her. I guess I'll go." He says and turns to leave.
Wait, he can't go. I have to…I have to…
"I have to kill you!" I scream and run toward him.
For one tiny millisecond, the both of them are surprised but then instincts kick in. Zexion tries to grab me and the man summons his gun-like weapons.
I hold my right hand out but then remember that my scepter disappeared upon my arrival here. I'm confused for a little while on what to do when suddenly, black smoke seeps out of my hand and curls around the scepter that appears in my hand. It's almost like my old one, with the ribbons and claw, except it seems newer.
The man blocks the swipe I make at him and sends me back a few steps. He takes the opportunity and sends a purple bullet toward me. I cover my face with my forearm and wait for impact.
Nothing happens.
I take my arm down and gasp when I see Zexion in front of me, with his hand extended outward, a few inches away from the large levitating book that seemed to take the blow. He gestures his hand a little and the book shrinks to a still large size.
"Xigbar-san, what's wrong with you? Haven't you done enough to the girl?" Zexion disciplines the man.
I now know the name of the killer, the cause of my lost, and the reason why Seifer found out about my secret and called me a freak.
I point my scepter at him and a shard of ice shoots out then a ball of fire. The ice freezes his shoulder against the wall and the fire hits him straight in the stomach, burning through, leaving a scorch mark, then evaporating.
"Kira!" Zexion yells, turns toward me and in a desperate attempt to stop me, wraps his arms around me, pinning mine to my side.
I let my scepter slip from my grasp and look up at him in shock just as he looks down at me. We're so close that our noses are touching and I can feel the tip of his lips touch mine.
"Ze-Zexion-san?" I whisper and for a while, we stay like this. He lowers his hands a little, letting them rest at my waist.
"What's going on in here?" Someone says.
We pull away quickly and look over at Vexen standing in the doorway with the grey haired man, the scarred bluenette, and Xigbar behind him.
"Secure her, Saix-san." The grey haired man orders.
"Yes, Xemnas-sama." Saix says and steps toward me. He grabs my arm and I look at Zexion with a confused expression.
"Wha…?" I say and try to pull myself away but his grip becomes tighter.
"Eh…eh! Zexion-san! Ze-Zexion-san!" I scream and try harder.
Soon, a man with short spiked back brown hair is ordered into the room and picks me up, throwing me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. I pound his back and kick my legs but he's of large build.
"Take her to the solitary confinement." The one named Xemnas says and steps aside to let us through.
"Zexion-san!" I screech and reach out to him. He lifts his hand but Vexen looks at him disapprovingly. He nods and lets his hand fall back to his side. "No…No!"
"Wait," Vexen says and steps up to me. Out of nowhere, he pulls out a needle with a clear liquid inside.
"Wha-what're you doing?" Zexion asks.
Vexen grabs my arm and I stay still, afraid that if I make the wrong move, it'll inject into a worst place or break as it enters my system. I feel a small pinch and something rush into my veins, making me instantly feel warm throughout my body. My eyes droop a little as he pulls it out.
Whoa…I suddenly feel very…very…sleepy.
I relax and let my body go limp, my arms dangling and my head swaying as the man carries me out of the room.
LADIDADIDA LATER ON…
"Kira-san," A voice whispers. I feel a hand rest on my shoulder and shake me a little. "Kira-san, please wake up."
When I manage to open my eyes, it's a struggle to stay awake, everything looks fuzzy and my head feels heavy. My eyes droop and I almost fall back to sleep when a gloved hand holds my face and the same voice says,
"No, don't go back to sleep. Come on, Kira-san. I brought you ice cream."
"Eh…" I murmur.
My vision becomes a little clearer and I see that I'm in an all white room. The gloved hand moves me and I look into Zexion's pale face. He looks worried. Weird since the only expression he usually has is serious.
"Ze.." I whisper.
"Zexion, it's me, Zexion. Right, Kira-san. Good job. Now, please say something else." He begs.
Why...? Why does he even care about me?
I lift my hand slowly toward his face. He takes it and places it onto my cheek.
I don't say anything. I can't. I feel so numb. I only lift the corner of my mouth in a small smile.
My head flops down and I see the short black dress I'm in.
Whoa, when did they change me? And who did?
"Kira-san? Kira-san?" Zexion yells as everything turns dark around me and I slip away into sleep.
Daren's POV
Even as I lie on the sandy beach and stare up at the stars, I can't help but worry about what I've been worrying since I came here two days ago.
Kira…where are you? If you're alive, what's happening to you?
I sigh and sit up. I rub a temple for a while until I hear footsteps on the dock nearby. I look over just as Kairi steps off and comes toward me. She sits beside me and says,
"What's up? You seemed stressed. That usually doesn't happen here."
"It's nothing. Just thinking…about someone."
"A girl? That you love?"
"Heh, yeah, how'd you know?"
"I'm in the same situation. That picture you saw me looking at yesterday. Me and the boy drew it together." She takes an unsteady breath in and brings her knees up to her chest. "Then one day, we were separated. When we finally met again, it was only for a little while. Later, I went back into that cave and I saw that he drew the Paopu fruit. I drew it too. Hopefully, when he comes back, we'll get to share one."
"Why? Is it special?"
"Yeah, to anyone who eats it. If two people share one, there destinies become intertwined forever." SHe says and points at the bent tree on the small section of island nearby. "They're right there."
"I know who I want to share one with." I say and look toward the trees.
"May I ask who it is?"
"Her name's Kira."
"Kira-san...Daren-san and Kira-san together forever."
"I like the sound of that." I say and lay back onto the sand. I stare up at the stars now coming out and say to myself,
"Daren and Kira...together forever."
(I didn't write that much of Daren-kun, right? Eh, I don't favor him much.)
Kira: Oh my Kingdom Hearts. Daren-kun, you sound so...*starts to think with serious face.*
Daren: What the hell! Where is she? I'm going to kill her!
Me: *hiding in corner of closet* Hee hee. No one can find me in my secret hiding spot.
Kira: You're so...*suddenly blurts out laughing* I can't believe she did that! You sound like some lovey dovey girly girl.
Daren: Hah! *yanks open closet door.* I found you!
(BY THE WAY, I SCREAM LIKE XION.)
Me: *screams* No, No, Daren-kun, don't!
Kira: Whoa, what's he doing? *walks into room* Sugar-kun, why are you crying?
Me: I was just mugged...and not the fun way.
Daren: That's what she gets. I stole her scotch.
Kira: You vile demon.
Daren: Eh...*shrugs and downs MY scotch.*
That bastard...I'll so get him back someday. You just wait.
