The moon hung high over the peaceful town of Radiant Garden. How long though would it stay peaceful? Judging by the figure shadowed in black standing on the rooftops, not very long. This time her prey was young boy of seventeen. Seemingly ordinary, until you looked at his sibling. This was the brother of Saix, the new Organization's next target.
"This should be simple enough, he'll be alone." She said a loud, quietly. He always took a nightly walk through here, but tonight would be his last. Tonight, Yatra would take him back to the Organization. Much to her surprise though, he wasn't alone. In fact, he was with two others, a small child with pink hair and a silver haired man. Quickly she pulled out her list and looked it over. He was with her next two targets! "Oh this is better than I thought it'd be." With that she jumped down in front of them, summoning her sitar as she landed. Almost immediately, The silver haired man jumped in front of the child.
"Who are you!" He snapped.
"There is no time for introductions. Either the three of you come quietly, or I shall use force." She said, pulling back her hood. She gave a laugh when they all recognized her. "Chris, Craig, Janine⦠Please, follow me. I don't want to have to hurt you."
"Sa-Savone! What happened to you? You look different." The pink haired girl, Janine, said as she ran out to Yatra. She was already to the Nobody before Chris or Craig could stop her. Yatra grabbed her and pulled her close.
"You will find out soon enough, Janine." She said gently before throwing the girl into the portal beside her.
"Janine!" The boy called together. Craig ran and dove into the portal, while Chris stayed behind.
"What did you do with her!" He yelled, his brother's claymore coming to his hand like magic. Yatra held out her hand to him, as if trying to beckon him.
"You will see. I promise she is in no danger. If you don't believe me, come see for yourself." Chris glared at her as if he refused to believe it. He even made it look as if he was going to attack her. After a while though he simply sighed and dropped his weapon.
"Fighting you is not going to bring her or Craig back. Fine. Take me to them." Yatra gave a slightly dark smile before taking his hand and leading him though the portal.
~~~The Next Day~~~
"So there was nothing but normality at Beast's Castle." Christopher said in a pouty tone.
"Isn't that a good thing, Chris?" Kairi laughed, running up beside him.
"Normality these days tends to be a good thing." Riku answered with a smile. Chris laughed and nodded, looking at the two. It was good to see Riku smiling again. After the incident n the Pride Lands, Chris thought they were never going to get him to smile. Kairi knew just what to say though, as always. It always seemed like Kairi knew what to do to cheer someone up, no matter the situation. It was one of the qualities he liked so much about her. As he started getting lost in thoughts about her though, Riku brought him back to reality.
"So why are we here?"
"Huh? Oh, we are here to visit my best friend Chris and his friends Janine and Craig."
"Sounds like fun!" Kairi said happily. "Isn't this Janine's house? Let's see if she's home." Chris nodded and ran up to the door. He started to knock, but a sound caught his attention. A muffled sobbing echoed from behind the door. Cautiously, he knocked on the door. It opened to reveal a crying woman.
"What's wrong? Is Janine here?" Chris asked, worried.
"No." The woman sobbed. "She went on a walk with Chris and Craig last night, but she never came home. I though maybe she was still with them, but their mother's said they never came home either." Then she began to cry hysterically, allowing Kairi to give her a comforting hug.
"Do you think it's that new Organization, Chris?" Kairi asked worriedly, holding the upset woman close.
"Most likely." Chris answered. "Don't worry, Ma'am, we'll get Janine back for you."
"Oh thank you, Christopher! She's only 8. I don't want anything to happen to her."
"No problem. You just go back inside, we'll head out now." She nodded and headed back inside.
"Sounds like our work is never done." Riku said, stepping forward. "Where to now?"
"Well, I say we head to Twilight Town to check on Tim. He has a relative that was in the past Organization. I bet you anything they go after him." The others nodded and they took off hurriedly back to the gummi ship.
