Everyone has seen through the eyes of Sora. The Keyblade's ultimate Wielder. It's okay to love a princess of the heart. It's easy, it's understandable. But how is it to see through the eyes of someone who can't possibly be loved in return?
Look who had so much time to write up another chapter today! Piano, Japanese,andswimming practicearen't enough to keep me from this!

It's finished..
I wiped my eyes, as the door opened behind me. "Gawrsh, who's that? Hakumei?" I turned around and smiled. "Guys!" I exclaimed. "Kumei!" Donald said as he and Goofy ran over to me. "Hey guys. You just got up? ...Me too." I said. Goofy looked at me. "Gawrsh, Hakumei, have you been crying?" He asked. "Kumei? Crying?" Donald asked, and looked at me. "Are you okay, Kumei?" He asked, in his quacky voice. I smiled and nodded, rubbing my eyes. "Just something in my eye, that's all.." I muttered, and we all faced Sora's pod(What? I didn't know what it was called, Namine never told me). "Sora's in there, huh?" Donald asked. "I think so," I replied. "Well it's time to wake him up! Sora!" Donald yelled. "Sora, wake up!" Goofy joined. Ah, fine. "Little brother! Wakey wakey!"
Sora's pod opened up, just as it had before. But this time, Sora was awake. He yawned and stretched as high as he could. Goofy, Donald and I looked at each other and burst out laughing. Aw, my little brother looked so cute! He saw us, I think, because he jumped out of his pod as we laughed and expected us to catch him- we did, of course. What are best friends for? "Sis, Donald, Goofy!" He exclaimed. We laughed and jumped around in a circle, holding each other's hands. It felt stupid, but satisfying nonetheless. Jiminy jumped out of nowhere onto Sora's shoulder and yawned. "That was some nap!" "You mean, we were asleep?" Sora asked, as Jiminy jumped off his shoulder. "I guess we musta been, or I don't think we'd be so drowsy.." He replied. "When do you think we went to sleep?" I asked the boys, to see if they remembered anything. Donald and Sora crossed their arms. "Let's see.. We defeated Ansem.." "Yep." "Restored peace to the world.. Found Kairi(He seemed to like this fact alot).. Oh yeah, and then we went to look for Riku. I think that's right so far, right, sis?" He asked, looking at me. So he didn't remember.
I smiled anyway. "That's right!" "What does your journal say, Jiminy?" Goofy asked the cricket. "Gee, there's only one sentence. 'Thank Namine'. Hmm.. I wonder who that is?" The boys looked at each other, shrugging, then looked to me. I shrugged too. "Some journal that is!" Donald said, looking at Jiminy accusingly. Jiminy took a step back. "Uh.. Well, what do you say we find out where we are?" "Great idea!" Goofy said, and turned to me. "Mind leading the way, Hakumei?" I shook my head, "Nah, you do it, Goofy." He shrugged and we followed him out. He found the way out of the mansion, and thankfully they didn't ask questions about the mansion. Donald was telling me about this other duck named Daisy the whole time we were walking so I didn't get to pay attention where we were going. "You know, I think I've been to this town." Sora said. I stopped in my tracks and looked up to where we were first. It was the Usual Spot. I then looked to Sora. "Really, little brother?" "What's it called?" Donald asked. Sora seemed to rack his brains for an answer, but nothing came. "Hmm.. I guess I must've imagined it."
We walked into the Usual Spot. I saw Hayner, Pence, and Olette sitting around, utterly bored. I was going to say 'hey guys!', but I remembered they didn't know me anymore. Finally, they noticed us. Must've been when Donald was looking from his left to right with a face looking like a truck was gonna hit him. Hayner looked at us- mostly Sora. "What do you want?" Sora raised his hands in defense. "Uh- nothing. Just wondering what was back here." "Now you know. This is our spot." Hayner replied. Okay, this was exactly how he was when Roxas and I first met him. I wasn't surprised. Pence stood up and looked at us, walking forward. "Umm.." Sora looked at Pence. "What?" "You're new here, right? I'm Pence." Olette and Hayner came forward too. "Hayner. Nice to meet you. We got stuff to do, so catch ya later." Hayner said, and left. The other two looked at him oddly, but Olette shook it off and stepped closer to us. "My name's Olette. Hey, did you finish up the summer homework yet? Independent studies are the worst, huh?"
"Homework?" Sora asked, looking very amused. He looked to me, Donald, and Goofy. We shook our heads. "Hey, what're your names?" Pence asked. "Oh, sorry. I'm Kumei, and this is Sora, Donald, and Goofy." Donald nodded, and Sora smiled, making Olette look away. "Hey there." Aw, my little brother, such a heartthrob! Back to story, Olette and Pence looked at each other. "Kumei, Sora, Donald, Goofy, we just met someone who was looking for you." Olette told us. "He sure seemed in a hurry," Pence added, while trying to act it out. Just like Pence. "He had a black coat on so I couldn't see his face, but he had these big round ears." We stopped to think, then looked at each other, nodding with big smiles. "The King!" Donald exclaimed.
"Where did you see him?" I asked. "At the station." Pence replied. "The station, thanks!" Sora, well, thanked. "Well, we better get back to that assignment." Olette said. "Later!" Pence agreed, and the two left. The four of us turned to each other. "Oh boy! The King's trying to find us!" Donald exclaimed again. I nodded, "What an honor." "Yeah! Let's get to the station!" Sora said, and we went out to the back alley, down the sandlot. We saw Seifer's gang. Uh-oh. "Who are you and what're you doing here?" Seifer said, walking up to us with Fuu, Rai, and Vivi behind him. "Sora. Just looking around," My little brother replied. "You looking for a fight?" Seifer looked at Sora. Oh, I've seen this video game before.. "No." Sora replied. "So what, you big palooka!" Donald quacked. Seifer and his gang went into fighting stances. Sora scoffed. "What a jerk." "Calm down, everyone." I said. "I don't take orders from anyone, especially from someone who can't beat me." Seifer said, looking at me. I stepped up to him. "Are you sure you're up to that challenge?" I sneered. "Anytime, anyday." I shrugged. "As long as you're ready to lose. How about now?" "Whatever floats your boat, outsider."
Ohh man. I hate it when history repeats itself.
He threw me a Struggle Weapon, and he held his own. I won't go into any details- you know I beat him already. That's what happened last time, remember? Seifer panted. "What the.." "Hey! Seifer's just tired. You got lucky, y'know?" Rai said. I laughed. "Yeah, sure, Rai." It was too late when I realized we weren't supposed to know each other. At least, I wasn't supposed to know them. Rai looked at me weirdly. "Hey, how'd you know my-" "Come on, boys, don't wanna keep the King waiting, do we?" I interrupted, and dragged my three companions to the Station Heights. We entered the Station Plaza, looking around. "Where do you think the King is?" I asked, but no one had a chance to reply as Dusks appeared, forming a circle around us. I looked to Sora, and saw him looking at the Dusks' symbol(the Nobody symbol) confused. Right, he had never seen one before, save the time in Castle Oblivion, which he didn't remember. I shook my head, concentrating on the fight which was about to come. Sora summoned his Keyblade, and I summoned mine. Donald and Goofy already had their weaopns. "You guys ready for another fight?" I asked them, as we were forced back-to-back by the Dusks. "For old times' sake!" Goofy cheered. Donald and Sora nodded. "Here we go!"
We fought the Dusks, and the three were delighted to find that their weapons were as useful against the Dusks as they were to the Heartless. The Dusks were weak, but Sora, Donald, and Goofy just woke up, and I guess they were feeling a little tired already, since they slopped down on the floor as more Dusks appeared. I stood my ground, as those disgusting Dusks did their wriggly distorted thing and lunged at me. I hacked them away before they could reach the boys. I could handle them even if there were alot of them, but this could prove to be a long fight. Of course, this thought could also be proven wrong as a little figure in a cloak jumped out of nowhere to help me. "Hakumei, now!" It said with a familiar voice, and I nodded. In a few seconds, the Dusks were gone.
The boys finally regained their composure and saw the little cloaked figure beside me. I looked at him as they did and saw his Keyblade. I gasped, "Your-" "Majesty?" Donald interrupted, as he and Goofy sat on Sora in the process of trying to reach the King. I laughed, but the King put his fingers to his lips. "Shh," He said. "You gotta board the train and leave town! The train knows the way." He looked at me. "Here," He gave me a munny pouch.. Roxas' munny pouch. How did he get ahold of this? I gave it to Sora. After all, it was his.. "Your Majesty!" Donald gasped, and I looked to the direction of his stare. The King was leaving! Donald tried to run after him, but he was gone. "The King.. Was that really him?" Sora asked. I nodded. "Absoutely. Who else would have big round ears?" "Now we know he's okay!" Donald said happily. Sora looked up to think. "The King was lost in the realm of darkness, right?" Goofy nodded, "Uh-huh." "But, we just saw him.." "Yep!" Donald nodded as well. "And if the King's here, that means Riku is here!" Oh, fine, I nodded too. "You might be right, little brother!"
"Well, sis and I are gonna look for Riku. Then the three of us can go back to the island together. Kairi's there waiting for us!" Sora said. "Right, sis?" ..Was that all I really wanted to do..? I nodded anyway. "Right." I turned to Donald and Goofy. "What're you guys going to do?" I asked them. "Uhh.." They had funny, serious looks on their faces. Sora and I looked at each other funny. "Gawrsh,Hakumei, do ya have to ask?" Sora and I finally couldn't take it anymore and burst out laughing. "Hey! What's so funny?" Donald asked. "Your faces!" I replied inbetween our laughter. Donald and Goofy looked at each other, then burst out laughing too. Oh, I loved these guys. I looked at the three with a big grin. "How about it, boys? Let's stick together for one more journey." "Alright!" Sora laughed. Donald and Goofy nodded in agreement. "To.. Where again?" Sora asked. "We hafta board the train!" Goofy said. Donald and I sighed. Yep, Sora was still Sora. Sora laughed and scratched the back of his head, then pointed to the Station. "C'mon!"
"Wait up!" We heard as we entered the Station. We turned around. "Huh?" It was Hayner, Pence, and Olette. "Hey, Kumei, Sora?" "What?" Sora asked. "Nothing, but.. We came to see you off." Pence replied. "It just seemed like something we oughta do." "Oh. Really? Thanks!" Sora said. "Glad we could see you before we left," I added. "You should hurry and get your tickets," Olette said. "Right," Sora nodded. Sora took his munny pouch from his pocket. "Huh?" I looked to Olette. "What is it?" Donald and I asked. Olette showed her own munny pouch to us. "They're the same!" Goofy exclaimed. Olette nodded. Sora shrugged, and bought four tickets. The train came. I remember it. It was the 'ghost train' Roxas saw. Sora looked at the train, and a look of sadness took over his face. "What's wrong, Sora?" I asked. "I can't help feeling like we won't see this town again.." Sora replied sadly. "Why not?" Donald asked. "You're thinkin' too much," Goofy told him. Sora stopped, and nodded. "Yeah, you're right." "Hey, lighten up, little brother. We can't have a gloomy adventurer on our hands, can we?" I laughed, patting his shoulder. He smiled and nodded. "Sorry I was so cold to you before. Something's been bugging me.." Hayner told Sora and me. Pence nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I feel like I should see you off for some reason.. Like I have to say bye to someone I've waited a long time to see.." Pence and Hayner went to talk with Sora more before we left, Donald and Goofy were off looking for chests with potions and things in them, and Olette came up to me. "Come see us again, alright? We'll be at the usual spot. When you do, maybe we can get to know each other better. It's not the easiest being the only girl.." I laughed, "I know how it feels, Olette." "Are you two ready to go?" Donald asked. "If you guys are, then sure!" Sora nodded, and so did I.
"Kumei, wait!"
