When I woke up the next day, I sat up in the bed, and at the clock. "9:22?" I muttered, and fell back. I always had a problem with waking up early. When I was a thief, I would sleep during the day, and steal at night. I've been doing that for so long, I can't break the habit. Kairi would always try to wake me up, but I would throw a pillow at her. I would always miss the bus, my parents would already left for work, and I wouldn't have a ride to school. I would get bad grades because I was never there. When I was there, I would sleep during class. I rarely paid any attention to the teacher. I only went to school a few times. I don't even know my schedule. I would trash my make-up work because I wouldn't understand any of the material. It was one big, stupid, cycle.
On the night stand was a potion and another note. I drank and read at the same time.
Morning! Demyx and I are in the left room next to mine. Remember, knock first! ~Axel.
I rolled my eyes, and hopped out the bed. I brush my hair, and changed my clothes; which were a pair of knee-ripped jeans and my 'Destiny High's logo' shirt. I walked to the left, and looked at the door that said, "Demyx". I knocked, just like they wanted.
"Come in!" Demyx called. I opened the door, and the boys were watching TV. Axel looked back to see who it was, and smiled.
"Look who finally decided to wake up." Axel teased.
"Shut up…I'm nocturnal…" I explained as I fell onto Demyx's bed, hoping for a snooze. Demyx grabbed the back of my neck, and pulled me up.
"No more sleeping. We have a lot of training planed for you." Demyx informed. I let out a loud moan. They dragged me to the court yard.
"What do you mean you're nocturnal?" Axel asked on the way outside.
"When I was a bandit, I would sleep in the day, and steal at night. There would be too many witnesses in the daytime…" I explained sheepishly Demyx stood me in the middle of the yard. My head felt like a million pounds because I was so sleepy. My eyes were barely opened, but I could still hear. I could tell Axel was in front of me.
"Okay, let's see your best punch." Axel commanded. I barley touched him with my fist. I was too tried. "Still sleepy, huh? What can we do to wake you up?" Axel thought out loud.
"Coffee!!" Demyx suggested.
"Good thinking! Go get some!" Axel agreed. I watched Demyx run in, and then looked at Axel.
"I don't like coffee." I informed.
"Oh well. If it gets you up, who cares?" Demyx ran back outside with a mug of fresh coffee. I was about to take the mug from him, but he splashed the hole mug in my face. My eyes burned, tears flying out. Followed by a loud scream of pain. Demyx and Axel plugged their ears, knowing about my powers.
"It worked!" Demyx cheered.
"That's not what I had in mind, but okay." Axel admitted. I ran in circles, almost blind. I continued to yell and scream in pain. I barley saw a pond, and ran over. I splashed my face with water.
After 20 minutes of pain, I completely washed off the coffee. I glared at Demyx, who seemed very scared now. I tackled him to the ground, pounding on him repeatedly. I was yelling words that I didn't even know. Axel was watching us, cracking up, rolling and pounding on the grass. Demyx snapped, making the Dancers appear. I swung my arms, summoning my Katars. I slice them all up, before they had a chance to touch me. I panted angrily when they were all gone. I tried to attack Demyx again, but Axel held me back. Demyx sat up, and rubbed his head with a smile. "Good job! You passed!" Axel cheered.
"What?! This was a test?!" I yelled.
"Well, sorta. We wanted to see how you fought when you were mad." Demyx explained.
"And you fight so much better then when you're not mad." Axel pointed out. I retracted my blades, and took them off. I turned around to see the damage I did. The Dancers that were there a minute ago were destroyed. I looked at Demyx, and saw all the black and blue marks I gave him.
"Now, let's train for real. Miki hit me with your best shot." Axel commanded. I held my arm back, and punched him as hard as I could in the chest.
"Is that the best you can do?" he taunted. I punched him again. He shook his head in shame. I punched harder, and harder, over and over again. My hands were starting to hurt. I gave my last punch, giving it my all. He inched back, looking surprised. "Strong, but not strong enough." he said. "Practice with your sound and Katars for a while. If you wanna hit something, just snap, and the Dusks will come." he said. He patted me on the back, started walking, and waved for Demyx to follow.
I practiced punching, with and with out my Katars, singing my arms, I practiced on the Dusks, ran around the yard a few million times, and practiced projecting. I plopped on the grass, sweaty and tired. I looked around, and noticed the yard fence's gate was wide open. It looked like it leads to the city. I looked around some more, making sure no one was around. I stood up casually, grabbed my Katars, and slowly walked to the gate. When I stepped out of the yard, I started running.
"Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!" I cheered as I sped down the street with my Katars on my arms.
"You thought you could leave that easy?" Axel's voice asked. I stopped.
"Damn it!" I muttered. I turned around, and Axel was leaning against the side of a tower, shaking his head.
"You will never escape on my watch, got it memorized?" He claimed. I held my stance, ready to fight. He shook his head again. "You really wanna fight me?" he asked. I nodded; he shrugged. "Fine, don't hold back."
"I won't if you promise not to cry." I responded.
He smiled, and summoned his weapon, which were two red Chakrams. A fire wall appeared around us. He jumped back, and hid in the fire, unable to be seen. I crept to the middle, hoping he won't be able to get to me. He jumped out, empty handed. I let my guard down, and stared at him. He pointed behind me, and I spun around. The Chakrams were heading my way. "Shit!!" I cried. They hit me in the head, leaving cuts in my skin. I rubbed my head. I heard his feet against the concert; he was trying to charge me. I stepped making him missed me. I punched him in the back with my Katars. He flew into the fire. I heard a snap, and a different type of nobodies surrounded me. "Let's see how you do with my Assassin Nobodies!" Axel called. I was ready.
Before I know it, I was on the ground, all cut up. Everything happened so fast. The fire died out as Axel walked over to me. "You will never escape on my watch, got it memorized?" he repeated. My head felt dizzy. From all the cuts I received from the battle with the Assassin Nobodies, I was loosing blood fast."I will never memorize anything you tell me to…." I claimed. I started feeling light headed. He smirked.
"Good-night." he whispered.
"Night…" I muttered, before I past out.
