A/N: Yo! Back again and ready for action.

This Miyavi song is seriously giving me some drive. I recommend him to you! Hell, he even sings Hit The Road Jack and If You're Happy And You Know It Clap Your Hands.

Well, anyways, back to the story. There are still many unanswered questions. We know Ansem's behind it, but why is Leon working with them when we sure as hell know he better get with Yuffie? Well, you'll see. I'm past 100 pages on the written story, and I've yet to type it.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the storyline. No, I don't own Miyavi…though I really wish I did. I also don't own the two songs I mentioned, and I don't own Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts. Just thought I'd say that since I'm finally fifteen and about to get a job.

Padfoot: Well, I'll do anything for my readers, but I've already got tons of stuff prepared for my story, and who doesn't like Tink? And I'm glad you enjoyed it, because this story has my blood, sweat, and tears in it! (I wrote it during physical training in JROTC)

Kairiku Aura: Yeah, yeah. I've heard of them, but I still think Miyavi's the best!

Angelicxox: Yeah! I mean, the only skinny evil people I can think of are Hades and Maleficent, who just wouldn't seem right with extra fat. Yeah, Yuffie's awesome. I was reading this story where Yuffie wasn't so cool, and it just seemed wrong to me. Yuffie's this story's goofy savior.

Beeria: It's all good. Thanks for reviewing in the first place. And I was planning something like that. But I've been seriously busy with all the other things. It'll take a while, but I'll get some conflict between the two. And I really like what you've written. You're really good. By the way, I've been thinking of making a YuffeXVincent fic. And a RikuXKairi fic. What do you think?

Teddy-the-Bear: That's seomthing we all gree on. Of course, people don't pay attention to this subtle warning...Oh well! Yeah, I made Tink kick some serious ass! It's because of all those preps parading her about! Anyways...

Chapter…Sev—No, Six!

"What?" Yuffie shouted. "Someone saw Laura get kidnapped?"

It was late, and they just got back from the hospital. Her father merely nodded his tired head. "At least Sora is still safe."

Yuffie plopped down on the couch and stared at her clenched fists, too stunned to even say something snide about how her dad seemed more concerned with the little kid than his own daughter. "I'll get them for this," she swore, her voice filled with rage. Now she was really pissed, and they'd better run for cover.

"Yuffie," her father said sharply. "Please, stay out of trouble for once."

"I can't promise you that, old man." She stood up.

"Where are you going?" he demanded. "We need to talk."

"I'm going to search KH for clues." With that, she left him.

(elsewhere)

"Will you be okay, Riku?" Sora asked, sitting next to his hospital bed. His fever had broken, and he'd stayed instead of going back home with his new family. Not that they noticed or cared.

He glanced at Peter, who was asleep on his own bed in the same room. No one had come to visit the boy, but Sora had seen little kids peek in the room out of the corner of his eye. They were gone when he turned around.

"Of course. They won't let me race Saturday in the competition, though," he said. Then he quickly added, "Not that I can't."

Kairi smiled. "They closed school anyway. There won't be a race. At least, not anytime soon," she said.

"No way!" Riku sat up and cringed. "Scott Tidus was one of the ones killed! It'd be a mockery of his death to cancel the race he'd been waiting for!"

"Who's Scott?" Kairi asked. "Oh, wait! He was one of the best runners, right?"

"Not one of the best, Kairi," Sora corrected. "He was the best. Me and Riku couldn't even beat him."

"That's right," Riku admitted. "I was training to beat him next race. Now the only one I have to go up against is Sora."

"Hey!" Sora pouted before shaking his head. "That's all you ever think about."

"Wait!" Riku smirked. "I got an idea. Let's hold our own race. To, y'know, honor him or something."

Sora sat up. "Really? That's a great idea!"

"Yeah!" Kairi smiled. "I'll help out, too!"

"Then it's settled. Sometime soon, we'll hold a race, and the winner gets to…run a torch all the way from our school and lead all the others to the funeral." When both of them agreed, Riku smirk widened.

"For Tidus?" Sora stretched his hand out.

"For Tidus!" Riku and Kairi placed their hands on his. All three were smiling. They had no idea that soon, they wouldn't be sharing smiles.

(KH)

Yuffie smirked. They'd set her character immediately to level 50, and her reward in winning fights against other player was information. Usually, though, people readily gave away their knowledge to such a famous character.

"So…" She stood before a huge building. "Staying up all night has led me here."

Kisara's character was dressed like a ninja, but that was the only difference between Kisara and Yuffie from the real world.

"Garden." That was what the huge, strange-looking building was called. Something tugged on her mind, something about flowers, but she ignored it, focusing on the task at hand. Her info told her that someone working for the guy who made the game was the top boss of the place. It was pretty farfetched, but she at least had to try. Hopefully he was online…

The air shimmered beside her, and a tall guy with his long hair back in a ponytail, the shorter hair spiked up, appeared. He was blindfolded and wore the samurai clothes set, which he earned by winning some tournament or other.

"Go away, Sora," Kisara commanded, instantly recognizing him. She pulled some shuriken and a kunai from the many pockets of her shorts and then too a step towards the Garden.

"Um, that's Tsunami," he corrected. "Dad says you're been up all night, Yuffie."

"That's Kisara. And it's none of your business, Tsunami." She continued walking. Tsunami followed.

To her surprise, she met no resistance on the field. Everything was still and quiet. Not a single monster appeared.

That changed as soon as they got inside. Almost immediately after Tsunami cast a wave of water to break down the locked double doors, several soldiers poured out and quickly surrounded them. They were organized, unlike every other monster Kisara had ever encountered in all the KH worlds.

Three shuriken to the face took out the first of ten monsters. Her shuriken disappeared with the dead monster, but she had an endless supply. Her kunai flew and took out a second enemy.

A soldier leapt at Tsunami, and he cleaved it in half. In two more swings, his kill count was at three. A blue shine about him said he'd finally made it to level 22. He celebrated by plunging his blade into another soldier.

Only four remained, but Kisara was impatient. She took out all four with her most powerful fire spell. Tsunami was forced to waste MP by casting a protective water shield around him. It turned to steam upon contact with her magic.

"Well, they're finished. Let's get going," Tsunami said optimistically. Kisara walked right past him without a word. She wasn't taking the whole situation very well; how selfish.

"Whoa…" Kisara looked about the huge place. A circular path wrapped around a raised room. Several feet ahead were the stairs up to said room, and a wall blocked off entrance from any other place but the stairs. ((It's hard to describe. If you've ever played FF8, you'll understand it. It's the…Balamb Garden, I believe.))

"There are a lot of rooms around here," Tsunami said, pointing out the obvious. "Let's search all of them before going up the stairs, okay?"

"Since the halls leading to all of them branch off the circle, it should be easy enough," Kisara agreed, leading the way to the left.

Five soldiers popped out of thin air before them.

"This would be a good time for the fire spell, Kisara," Tsunami said, placing his hand on the hilt of his katana. He glanced at his current ally.

"It takes all my magic to cast it, and I don't have any items," Kisara said, throwing some shuriken. "We don't need it now anyway."

Tsunami sighed and got to work fighting these opponents. They were a lot tougher and took more than one swing to beat. Of course, Yuffie, who was at a higher level, was in no trouble at all with these guys. He took down two and saw that Yuffie had already started walking off towards the first door. He sighed.

"You know," Kisara called back, "I think video games lend us the concentration we need to beat the crap out of those psychos every day."

"Yeah," Tsunami agreed. "I watched one show where a guy went down after one shot, but I heard Riku—I mean Zenith((Heh, lost inspiration here))—took three before he got taken out."

"Yep, video games are the cause, I'll bet," Yuffie said. She snorted. "And my dad says I play them too much."

They went down the hall, killed some more soldiers, and opened the door. A huge, armored beat took up their entire vision. Tsunami barely had time to register surprise before the thing charged.

Ready to take up the challenge, Yuffie shouted, "All right! Major experience points!" She took her giant shuriken from her back and three it right at the huge thing with amazing accuracy. The oversized missile cut through its armor and shot back to her hand. She barely touched the handle in its center before throwing it again.

As she did that, Tsunami charged, ducked under her thrown weapon on its return, and thrust his blade into the hole she'd cut in its armor. It took that moment to strike.

With two fingers, it grabbed his yukata ((Right?)) and plucked him right off the ground, pulling him up to eye level. His sandals fell to the ground. Tsunami, his sword still stuck below him in the monster's side, gathered magic and struck the thing in the face with a whip of water, knocking off its helmet. Throwing her giant shuriken and several smaller ones, Kisara cut Tsunami's yukata loose and tore up the huge monster's revealed face before he was beheaded entirely.

Tsunami fell with the monster. It was pure luck that his costume was already blood red. It suddenly disappeared, and he fell through its fading form and to the ground. Yuffie tossed him his sword, which hit him in the forehead before falling into his hands. He blinked down at it, amazed his character was uninjured. Well, mostly.

"Let's get going. Six rooms to check, not to mention the one at the top of the stairs," Kisara reminded him, gathering up her most powerful weapon.

Tsunami groaned. "Great."

"You do realize you could've just come to my room and talked to me, right? I mean, we live in the same house, after all," Kisara said.

"Actually, I'm hanging out with Riku. He's giving me tips and everything. Besides…this is fun."

A/N: I realize this is neither the longest nor the shortest of my stories...but you also didn't have to wait long for this one, either! Oh, and I'm thinking about making several different new pairings. I'll list them, so tell me what you guys think. RikuXKairi, LeonXRinoa, YuffieXVincent, and, a completely unrelated pairing, SasukeXNaruto! Yes...Tell me whatcha think!
