Hi I'm back. I promised myself not to update untill I at least finished my fanfiction "My Will", but I couldn't stand seeing this at the bottom of my profile page. I really think that this is one of the top fanfictions I have ever done. Well its up there with all my fanfiction really. lol I take great pride in my work, and I don't think this really deserves 14 reviews, more like 60 in my mind, but hey thats life. Speaking of it, next time I have a crossover with Kingdom Hearts and Inuyasha, expect it to show up on the Inuyasha fanfiction page. Why? Because I don't know, but it feels like I've been given the cold shoulder here. But its the same way everywhere else. lol I guess people can't stand werid crossovers, or Kikyou.
Well nevermind, lets go to the review thank yous. You guys should feel lucky, I barely get the chance or time to write out everyone that reviewed incept at the end of the whole fanfiction. So give yourselfs a pat on the back! ;)
We will go in order from the latest to the oldest, then we will go to the ones that (in my mind) seem like a flame or insulting. Enjoy.
Kevin-Sama: Hey look! Its my best internet friend in the world, Kevin! Well whats up? Thanks for reading and say hi to my handsome boyfriend Ja for me! :)
Angel of Darkness and light: Alright! You added me to your author alert! That, to me, is better or almost better then favorite author. Because it means I'm good enough to be watched! Wait that didn't come out right...Oh nevermind. Now let me answer some of you questions. 1. Yes and No, you will have to read in order to find out if those two lonely hearts get together, but if you can't stand to wait, read (when I finish the chapter) "Of Light and Darkness". Its a Kikyou/Riku fic that I'm in the process of makeing, and through I shouldn't post it untill I finish one of my fics, for your great review I'll post it early! Look for it in the Inuyasha part of this site or on the Kingdom Hearts side if I feel like pissing the people off. LOL 2. You have the name Jasmine? I have the name Jasmin! Thats awesome! What were the chances of that? Oh and Hobo-I mean-Hojo is a horrible little man that I almost hate as much a Jaken, Kagome, or Naraku combined. I don't know, its just his neediness, can't he see when a girls not interested? 3. Thanks for saying that this is great writing, I thought it was terrible for a minute there from the lack of reviews. Your review really helped. And I will keep writing. 4. The name thing...well I don't want to be blunt but...You can spell Kikyou either way. I addressed this little fact in one of the authors notes that I did before a chapter. See the people that translated the anime and manga seem to spell the names differently then the origanal manga and anime did. Names like Sesshoumaru, Kouga, Kikyou, and many others probably, were changed to fit the translators and the English way of things. Well I guess they were changed for that reason...So there is not a correct or wrong way to spell Kikyou or, as you would say, "Kikyo". But since the spelling for her name that I first saw was, "Kikyou", it sort of stuck in my mind and thats how I spell it. I hope you don't mind or stop reading because of it. 4. Also yes, to some peoples morals and rules, to date someone younger or older then you is a crime. Also to have sex with someone under 18 is against that law. Luckly there is not sex in this, some sexual situations later in this story, but no sex. That and if Kikyou's 16, she has 2 more years to go. If she's 17, one more year. 18 and shes already old enough. And I don't know about Yuffie or Squall-I mean-Leon. Since they were never named as a offical couple in the game, or there ages for that matter. At least I think this is true, I haven't played the game in a long time. lol But just because they aren't "offical", doesn't mean they are not a couple. Just like all the other couples I like, they aren't offical couples! lol 5. And authors can write whatever they want, but somepeople don't like them too. lol (see crazy controling people or extreme fangirls) But its more like he's a creation of both our imagenation and Square Enix. Because when we see a person or character we get ideas of what they are like in our mind and it makes them real. But I know this has nothing to do with anything...But I hate how Square put there new company name. They should have left it alone. Square Enix? Yuck! 6. Thanks for adding me to your author alert list and I hope you like this chapter. Thanks for reviewing! :)
Chibi-Kikyou: LOL I'm glad you thought it was funny! Most people don't like my strange and twisted humor. And I don't like Peter or the movie "Peter Pan", so thats why I did that. I just think the movies dumb and Peter needs to grow up and wear some fucking pants. And did you see in the movie how he flurted with Wendy then the Indian girl (whose name I forgot) and played with Tinker Bell's emotions? Its ovbious that Tinker Bell likes him! Just like Parn in Record of Lodoss war, he can't see it. -- And I forgot what fluff is, is it good? If fluff is romance, then yes there was some. And there will be more too, just wait until the chapter after the next one. Oh boy, thats long and gots lots of romance and confuseing parts. So stick around it will just get better! Thanks for the great review and hope you love this chapter. :)
Rednight-rider: Well I'm afraid I can see why its rated-no was-rated R. You see while most people think rated R movies just have alot of sex and nudity, I don't see it that way. The rated R movies that I go to and have seen my entire life (yes even when I was just a little kid) just had violence, lots of adult language, and lots of blood and gore. And maybe one or two parts with nudity or sex in them. Look at Resident Evil! That movie (1 and 2) just had people getting eaten and lots of adult language. Only at the end did it have nudity, and that was one or two seconds. Yet it was rated R. So you see what I'm trying to put here is that people should open their minds, stop thinking that rated R fics are just going to have lemons (sex) in them, and think that it will have some disturbing stuff in them instead. If you had read chapter 4 ("A date with death" I think it was called) you would have seen why I rated it R. But the PG-13 thing seemed to have worked...I talk about that at the end of this or after this part of the chapter. And yes (lamo) I was trying to get people that hate Kikyou to be sent to oblivon. I'm glad you like it, and keep up that scary laugh. Mawahahaahahhaha :)
KagomeKiller: You must hate Kagome more or almost as much as me! lol And do you really mean that this is the best KH/IY fic you have ever read? Because if there were KH/IY fics before this, I must have not noticed. And here I thought I was the only one with werid ideas. lol Well I will keep writing, you keep reviewing. :)
XxStarry-AngelxX: I think I already responded to your review in chapter 3. I hope you review again and I'm glad you loved this story so much. lol Sorry about your computer virus, but it might be the site too. Several times, when staff is fixing or adding things to this site, that people haven't been able to review. Well thanks for your review. :)
immortalbreeze04: I have already updated, I hope you will review again though. Thank you for the review. :)
Kuma-No-Nuigurumi: I also already responded to your review too. I'm glad you likd the story and waited for chapter two. I hope you didn't have to wait too long. I'm also waiting for something...For you to review again! lol Thanks. :)
Soccergirl09: I know I'm a horrible speller, I try my best with a dictornary and MSN's spell checker for emails. Since my WordPad on my PC doesn't have spell check. And once again, Kikyou can be spelled Kikyou and Kikyo also. So yes in reality it has both a "U" and not a "U". And the crime scene investigation was about the only thing I got right when it came out to this version and the one that I wrote and planned out. I explained Reapers didn't I? Well in this story they are like the police (watch too much movie channal shows) so thats what that was about. They were at the scene of a murder. And since I have updated I hope you will review again. Thanks and I'm glad you reviewed. :)
mystlady: You along with some others seem to review ever story I have. Not like thats a bad thing! lol I'm glad you think this is pretty cool and that this is the first one of its kind that you have read too. But then thats my style, making the impossible happen! I will continue this and I hope you will continue to review. Thanks alot for all your wonderful reviews! :)
tomi-sama: I got a "Wow"! Its my first one! So this means I'm up there with all the great fanfiction writers right? Well maybe not...but thanks anyway! And I'm glad you think this is cool and that I did a really great job. And I know, most people can't write things out of the oridnary. That just means your normal. I wish I was normal too...lol I did update and I hope you will again review! Thanks for being my first reviewer. I would give you something but all I have is half assed internet drawings and a funny comic about my dad being lost and almost eatten by a vampire.
Okay and now we have come to the part that I hate...No I really love this part! Really I do! (evil laughter and lightning in the background) Dealing with flames, or something I think is a flame is great! Read, laugh, and shiver in your boots and be thankful its not you!
Luckly, it only two I have to deal with.
Myotismon: Whats with the fucking "Ew" thing? And this fanfiction is interesting! Its not "horrible"! If you had waited and read it all the way through instead of chapter 3 (the chapter that most people stop reading on, don't know why), then you would have noticed and maybe saw all the greatness of it along with the good reviews I recived for it! If theres one thing I don't like, its a person that flames on the begining chapters and doesn't even wait until the end to flame. And this is a fucking flame! What do you think it is? (well it was a nice flame at least...) And hell no! I won't redo it! Why would I want too? Theres no big spelling mistakes, I didn't do anything that I thought was horrible, and I'm happy with it. So deal and grow up or you could try to make you own KH/IY fic! I dare you!
Flame-mistress: First of all, what the hell are you exactly the mistress of? Stupidity? I guess I should be happy that you didn't waste your time writing a bunch of nasty cuss words for me to read. But I'm not. You can insult me, you can call me a big, fat, stupid bitch all you want. Call me a 6 year old baby, kick me, spit on me, burn my house down. But there are somethings that you can do that WILL piss me off! One of them is saying anything bad about my fanfiction or any of my writings. I take pride in my work, and you or any other asshole on this site that says something like that will tick me off to the 3rd degree of pissed offness. So you bitch better pray on your lucky stars that I will NEVER meet you in real life. Because if I did, I would show you why they call me the "mistress of pain". Mawahahahhah That and get rid of the o0 thing okay? Its annoying and if you do it in real life it looks like you have a brain tumor or are trying to be The Rock. And yes bitch I do call this a story. Now fuck off and get a life!
So now that we are finished with that...Aren't you glad you didn't flame me? That or I don't know where you live if you plan on flameing me. Oh and I'm not the mistress of anything, I just felt like useing her own name against her. I'm a good girl, really I am. (sweet innocent face) So please read.
Oh and one more thing, in the next chapters to come this might actually change back to R. Just warning you...
That and I got the chapter order wrong last time. lol
Kingdom Hearts: Soul Taker
Chapter 9: Comfort
Look past that distant day that you said good bye
Did you really mean what you said? That its all over.
Don't act like we won't see each other again, just because the times not right.
I want to ease your soul, lets go on this long road together.
If only you could see the real me.
Letting go of that painful memory I move on. I become stronger.
Can you see that? Do you really mean what your cruel eyes are telling me?
I want to ease your soul.
(Chapter start)
After a bright explosion and the dust settled, they were encounted with one more problem.
The ship was now torn in half and sinking.
The ship made a groaning sound, like someone dieing or rusted parts moveing against each other. Then it started falling towards the water down below. Since Kikyou and Riku were the only ones not flying, they were painfully sent down to the ground and were no longer standing up.
It started slowly at first, the ship falling, then it picked up speed. Tinker Bell and Peter Pan didn't have enough time to enlable them to fly as well, so they were helpless.
'Oh god, I don't want to die...' Kikyou closed her eyes, she didn't want to look down at the fast aproaching water. She opened them when she remembered something. The jewel. If it had helped out the former Captain Hook, why couldn't it help them?
Takeing it quickly off her neck, and almost breaking the chain in the process, she put it into the palm of one of her small hands. She was about to see if she could make it work, untill a gloved hand grasped her hand.
"No. I wouldn't if-" The rest of what Riku said was quickly lost in the rushing wind. And suddenly the boats speed picked up again. As if it had a life of its own, and like a kid on a rollercoaster, wanted to see how fast they could really go.
It picked up so much speed that they were no long laying on the boards of the ship, but floating above it because of the speed. (is that even possible?)
When the ship crashed into the water, it broke into several pieces all around them. Seeing that they were either going to be impaled to death or drown, Riku grabbed Kikyou by the waist and before she could reply, she was on top of him. (NO THIS IS NOT ENDING IN A LEMON! THATS NOT EVEN-I'll stop and let you read...)
'Its not like its self sacrifice...but I let someone go already because the odds were stacked against me. I'm not about to do it again!' Riku thought to himself as he looked up at Kikyou's worried face.
"Your going to kill yourself! No your going to kill the both of us! Don't-" Kikyou started to shout into his face untill Riku silenced Kikyou by putting a hand on her cheek.
"I know what I'm doing. Plus...would you-"
He didn't get to finish as they finally hit the wreckage below.
Kikyou's lungs filled with water and she opened her mouth just to swollow more of it. Panicing she almost thought she was going to drown untill she looked up and saw the dim light of the moon above her. Reaching for it, she finally got some air into her lungs as she broke the surface of the water. Looking around she could see that they had fell down at least 50 feet. And how they had survived was a miracle. Then something snapped inside Kikyou's head.
Wheres Riku?
"Riku? Riku where are you? RIKU!" Kikyou screamed to the left and right of her. From the water still in her lungs, she coughed and looked below he be dead? Drowned like she thought she was going to be?
'I refuse to believe it! You have to be still alive, you just have too!'she thought to herself as she took a deep breath then dived underwater. The light that the jewel was emiting lighted her way as she looked around. Nothing but the sinking wreckage of what was once Captain Hook's ship.
Needing air, she once again came up to the surface. Looking around she finally saw Riku's black trench coat. With more determination then ever, she swam across and tryed to reach him. When she finally did she discovered.
That is was just his trench coat, nothing more.
"Riku..." Kikyou not only had lost Pocahontas and Li, but now she had lost Riku. She felt too sad to cry....'Riku why...Why did you die on me yet again?'
"I know what I'm doing."
Kikyou remembered him saying that and grasped his trench coat in one hand by trying to swim to some drift wood near by. 'He sacrificed himself for me, I'm not about to die in this cold water! I'll live, I'll live to destory Ansem!' With those thoughts fueling herself to keep going she continued onward.
She still had a long way to go when she realized something. There was a noise behind her. Turning around she saw a trail of blood from the coat, and a very big shark behind it.
No, make that two sharks.
She couldn't just shoot them with arrows, she wasn't on the ground. And magic, well lets be honest. She could miss and then what would that leave her? Dinner thats what.
Trying to swim backwards, Kikyou tried to slowly back away. Riku's sacrifice would be nothing if she got eatten by sharks. Panicing as they came closer, she slipped and fell underwater. Upon doing that, she discovered exactly how many teeth a man eatting shark has.
'This is it, I'm going to die! If only...' She was snapped out of her thoughts as a hand grasped her own and she was pulled out of the water. Kikyou looked around to see that she was above the water, with two very pissed off sharks 2 feet below her. She looked up at the hand grasping hers and looked up at someones upside down face.
"You know you could have grasped on to me, then we wouldn't be having this problem."
"Shut the hell up Riku! Its your fault! Next time you want to save me, TELL me first!"yelled Kikyou at him. The boy may have saved her life, be he worried her half to death in the process. But she smiled anyway when he gave her a boyish grin. Splashing brought them back to the world of sharks and things.
As Kikyou looked down, she could see that the fat human eatting little mother fuckers were trying to jump up and eat her. Panicing, she grabed onto his arm with her other hand and tryed to pull herself up like he was a rope. Unfortunately this caused them both to fall into the water below. Or almost untill someone caught both of them.
Kikyou had closed her eyes when they were falling, but opened them when she felt someones arm under her legs and across her back. She looked up at Peter's face and all but smacked him from what he said.
"hehe Looks like I saved your life princess, going to give me a kiss now or what?" Kikyou frowned and glared at him but would whether like to stay in the sky this time.
"Wheres Riku you jackass?"growled out Kikyou. Peter pan grinned and turned his head to the side, Kikyou looked the way he was pointing and saw that Tinker Bell was near him. And that they were both flying, though Riku looked pissed off. Probably from almost dieing because of her. "Wait...how can he fly?"
Upon asking this, Tinker Bell flew over to her and sprinkled some fairy dust on her. Then Peter let go of her and Kikyou screamed as she felt herself falling.
"Think happy crap."Riku yelled down at her.
'Okay then, I'm going to kill Peter and then go to the park and dance with the jugglers.' Kikyou thought sarcasticly to herself, thinking it wouldn't work.
Suprisenly though, it did work. Kikyou looked amazed and turned her head to the left and right, sure that someone was holding her up. Upon finding that no one was, she looked transfixed at the particals of fairy dust trailiing behind her. Then flew to the left then the right, smileing to herself.
"Thanks." She said by smileing happly up at the others. It seemed like she wasn't going to die after all. Kikyou heard splashing underneath her and barely had time to dodge as one of the man eatting sharks tried again to eat her.
"You picked the wrong priestess to try to snack on!" said Kikyou angerly as she took out her bow and notched a arrow in it. "Besides I hate shark fins."
The arrow hit its mark, the sharks forhead, and it came through the other side. The shark grinned for a moment (if sharks can grin) then spit up blood as blood gushed out the back of its head. Kikyou looked to the other shark only to see that it was swimming away.
"Hey Kikyou, are you finished or what? I don't want to sit here all day and see you shoot at fish."Riku yelled down at her. Kikyou looked up at him and smiled.
"Sure. I'm coming." Kikyou put away her bow and arrows and was about to move tell something stopped her.
An evil presence, completely different from the one she sensed when her and Riku were still in Kingdom Hearts. (See chapter 4 and 5: "A date with death".") Looking down she saw a dark shape in the water beneath her. A tentacle shot out and almost hit her if she hadn't moved at the last moment. "Wha-" Kikyou managed to say before another one grabbed her left arm. Pain shot up and down her body as it did. Almost like something was sucking the life out of her. A deep waterly laugh was heard below by the thing that had a hold of her.
"Kikyou!"
"Wait! If you try to go to her you'll die as well! Its a trap!" Tinker Bell tried to yell at him. But she was only a fairy and since she didn't speak the lauguage of man, there was nothing she could do. Turning to Peter Pan for him to do something, she saw him just standing there looking down on everything with cruel and calculating eyes. 'Peter...whats gotten into him?' Tinker Bell thought to herself.
Meanwhile, Kikyou was trying to keep herself from becomeing unconscious from the pain. Now tenacles had wrapped around her waist and her other arm. And whatever had a hold of her was gripping on to her tighter, she could feel her ribs about to give out and break like china plates thrown against a wall. Looking ahead of her, she could see Riku heading straight toward her.
'Idoit...don't you see its a trap? I'm being used as bait. If you come closer you'll die! I can't...I just can't let you do that!' Kikyou thought as her ribs started breaking. "Riku stay back! Don't throw your life away, I'll be fine!"yelled Kikyou desperately trying to stop him. Seeing it wasn't working, she summoned the last of her strength to move her arm, and broke it in the process. She grabbed the jewel that was around her neck, snapped the clasp, and threw it in his direction. Riku stopped and was about to catch it, untill a arm reached up from the water and snatched it before he had the chance.
At that moment, whatever had a hold of Kikyou decided to make itself known. The water bubbled, shiffted, and changed as the creature emerged emitting a evil aura all the while.
"What the...Your still alive!"shouted out Riku in suprise as it seemed that the Captian still wasn't dead yet. If anything, he had grew and now was not only a mass of teeth, but a giant as well. Not to mention had tenacles. It shifted Kikyou so that she was partially behind him.
"If you want the little bitch," Hook hissed out between clenched teeth. "You'll have to go through me. I'm not finished with her yet." As if to prove his point, he squeezed the life out of Kikyou. Makeing her cough up more blood and breaking more of her ribs and almost snapping her spine. Despite herself, Kikyou screamed at the pain.
"You basterd...YOU COWARDLY BASTERD!!" Yelled Riku at Captain Hook. He just laughed at him.
"It takes one to know one. After all, whats more cowderly then hidding behind Ansem's skirts. Actting like his lap dog-" Luckly, Kikyou had fell unconscious from the pain and couldn't hear Captain Hook's words.
"You shut up! Just shut the hell up! What would you know anyway!"shouted Riku at him. Hook just laughed again.
"And it was truely comical what happened to you at the end! Looks like poor little puppy got shoot down by it owner. Maybe you should have sucked up to Malificent! But you probably did didn't you "lap dog"?"
Riku bowed his head and let the shadow of his hair block out his eyes. It was true, he had made alot of mistakes. He did lap up everything they told him, wishing it had been true. He had been too self confident that he would come up on top in the end. That he was the "hero" that was going to save Kairi.
He isn't your true friend. You're really the only one that can save her, Sora's too interested in his new "friends". Your doing it for Kairi remember? Those people deserved to be destoryed, they were nothing but obstacles.
Lies, lies, lies, he should have been able to see through it. But anyone could have mad that mistake. Couldn't they?
"Your right...I was Ansem's lap dog. And maybe I did lick up everything he dished out..." Riku whispered more to himself then Hook. "But...lap dog or not...I'm not about to let you kill Kikyou!"
After saying that, Riku once again charged toward Captain Hook.
"Its...not like I have a dirty mind or anything. I'm not a pervert...its more that getting close is...scary."
He slashed at him, but he just regenarated everytime. Laughing, Hook smacked him across the face with the back of his hand. Sending Riku reeling to the left.
"Yes well...everything in life is scary. You just have to give it a chance. Even if...someone says yes or no you'll still be here, you'll still be living."
Riku regained his balance and used the back of his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth. He charged once again at Hook and once again he got knocked back.
"Yes I guess it is true that everything happens for a reason, but what if its not a matter of whether the person says yes or not, but if you betray them?"
'I can't give up...not yet...Your the only one that I have left.'
"Well I guess you just trust to do whats right."
Hook dodged a fira spell and then laughed as he tried to hit him in the head with his sword.
"I don't know whats right or wrong, no one ever taught me. They say laws are made for the weak and that a law is just a extension of your own conscience. But what if your conscience is the one thats telling you to do something agianst the law, something terrible? Then how do you trust to do whats right?"
Riku dodged one of Hook's tentacles and used a firagra spell against him. It worked alittle but Hook quickly healed and used his own spell against him. It his Riku dead on.
"Than you do what you have to do. No one ever taught me whats right or wrong either, they taught me to do what needs to be done. I'm not quite as innocent as you think, I have blood on my hands like any evil person too."
"Why don't you just give up? This little girl can't be that important to you. And as for the jewel, it will go toward a good cause! My cause! If you just give up you wouldn't be hurt now!" Hook tried to convince Riku to give up by the platinum haired boy just keep at it.
"I maybe too young to understand, but I'm not an adult. And because I'm not, I understand things more clearly than you or they do. You live for the moment, not the day. Don't overlook what you already have."
'Its my fault that were where we are now...'
"Riku will everything be alright? Will I ever go back home? Tell me the truth and not a grown-up answer either, I want the truth."
'I should have just told you about all this, but in a way...I didn't want you to hate me. You and Pocahnotas and Li were all I had left...I won't give that up now!'
"Wait. I didn't even get your name. I'm Kikyou."
"What say you boy? Why not just give up? You can't defeat me!"asked (more liked yelled) Hook. Riku stopped and clenched his hand not holding his sword into a fist.
"I can't give up...I..."
"Then Riku where are you going?"
"I promised someone that I would be there! Even if I didn't say it! She's more important to me then that jewel! You want it, you can keep it! Give it to Ansem in hell!!" And with that he charged at Hook again.
Unfortantly, Hook had one more trick up his sleeve. He was planning to use the power of the jewel to instantly destroy him once he charged at him again. But...
He wasn't counting on the jewel itself to hurt him. It glowed a angry shade of red and hook dropped it into the water.
"What in hell!? Agghhh!" Hook managed to get out before half of him set on fire. It wasn't really fire so much as the jewels energy. Half of Hook's body was burning, the side that was holding Kikyou was now turning into nothing more then a cinder. It seemed that Kikyou was the sorce of the energy, and so Hook dropped her into the water.
But suprisently, instead of sinking to the bottom, she floated onto the surface then stood up. It seemed that her unconscious body had a life of its own.
"Kikyou.....?" Riku asked uncertain if it really was the young priestess. What was radiating off her was not her but the jewels power itself.
Kikyou herself, as if responding to him saying her name, opened her eyes. They seemed void of their usual life and in a hollow voice that was not her own. (sort of echoy, like when someone is possessed in a movie. The voice is both her own and someone elses.)
"You are not worthy of possessing me. Your nothing more then a tool. Your not the key." Kikyou-or what she had become-said dully, as if stateing a point to someone that wouldn't listen.
"What do you mean I'm not worthy!?" Hook hissed out angerly. He looked to Riku, only to see that he was as suprised as he was, then looked back to Kikyou. Kikyou just floated their and looked at Hook with a bored stare.
"You are not worth anything in this game. Your just a pawn. But you did do something though, you had enough hatred in your heart to become a pawn. I will take your soul, so that you shall become a part of me."
Hook backed up at her words, while Kikyou advanced upon him walking on water yet not floating at all. Hook stood his ground finally and fired a couple of dark energy blast at her. Kikyou just made a shield out of her energy and the water around her, and his blast were absorbed. She bended down when she was half way near him and grabed the jewel from where it floated on the water. Then she turned to look at Riku.
"Riku, use your sword to stabe his arm, the one that he touched the jewel with." Riku nodded and did as she said. Hook screamed and then began melting away.
"How...how can this be?...I'm...not..noth..nothing more...than...a...pawn...." And with those last words he finally died. His body disappeared yet something white still floated where he once was. Kikyou held out the jewel toward it and Hook's soul flew toward it and was absorbed by the jewel.
"Finally pieces of this tale are weaveing again....Take care of this body."said Kikyou, then she fell foward and the light around her disapeared. Riku flew forward and caught her before she could fall into the ocean.
"What just happened? Kikyou....What are you?"asked Riku more to himself then Kikyou since it seemed that she had fell unconscious again. He sensed someone behind him, and turned his head around enough just in time to see a flash of green untill he was knocked unconscious himself.
!?(This will be used to separate certain parts of the chapter.)
The ceremony was almost over.
That was the good thing about animal weddings, they were sort! Well at least Sora saw it that way.
Standing in the back of the church, he stood near the open, white, twin doors that led inside and outside of the church. Despite the fact that it was a wedding, he was dressed in what he usually wore. (I couldn't create a new uniform for him if I tried, so he's in what he wears in the game or the better outfit he gets in Kingdom Hearts 2.)
The final vows were now being said and it seemed that Donald was having a little trouble with his. Probably forgot his vows because of that major hangover he got from the bachelor party from last night. Still it seemed he made it through them and Goofy didn't lose the ring as everyone thought. Sora laughed to himself a bit as he saw that it was finally over. All that 72 hour crazyness of planning, buying, and rehearsing seemed to have ended in 10 minutes.
Looking to the wedding cake Sora looked sad for a moment as he remembered something from his childhood.
"Hey were not suppost to eat the cake yet!"yelled Sora at Riku. The two of them had been ivited to their 2nd grade teachers wedding. And through it was almost through the boring part, Sora didn't want to get yelled at even if he was hungry.
"So? I'm tired of waiting! All their going to do is talk and talk and talk! If you want something you have to go and get it!"
"Yeah but what if we get in trouble?"asked Sora by looking around twice to make sure no one was looking.
"Get in trouble? Who cares! Besides, when we grow up and get married I'm gonna skip the talking part and just eat the cake!"
Of couse neither of them got a piece of the cake till the very end, Sora's mom had caught both of them in the act.
'Riku would have loved this with all the food here...That and he would have gotten a opportunity to look up the womans skirts as they tired to catch the bouquet'
"Hey, what are you thinking about Sora?"
Sora jumped alittle from the voice behind him and turned around to see Kari giggleing.
"Don't sneak up on me like that!"
Kari just rolled her eyes and poked him in the ribs. "Even at a wedding, the brave, fantastic, and almighty Sora never lets his guard down." Sora pretended to be angry and Kari just laughed at him. "Awww I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings or snapped you out of wonder land."
"You know me babe, always have my head in the clouds."replyed Sora with his usual grin and Kari smiled.
"So when are we getting married?"she asked him. It was a subject she had been trying to bring up, but it seemed that Sora kept avoiding the subject. Sora went quiet and looked down at the floor slightly. Kari sighed and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey...we all miss Riku, don't forget that. But theres nothing you or either of us can do. Its not your fault that you only found King Mickey. I'm sure that he's still alive somewhere...Don't give up hope."
"Yeah but...this wasn't how it was suppost to turn end. Before this had all happened, I had planned that we would all grow old together. I know real sappy, but still...I wanted to someday shoot bullshit with him about the "younger generation" when we got as old as the village elders...But..."Sora said sadly. Kari sighed and embraced him.
"Don't give up hope, we'll find him one day. And where ever he is, I bet he's with friends. I bet he's happy and waiting for us."
"Yeah but I just hope he isn't hurt. But your right, I bet where ever he is he's with friends. Who knows? Perhaps he even has a girlfriend too."
Blinking awake Riku tried to move his head to look around. Dispite the pain creeping across the back of his head, he managed to see that they were above the city of London. Sighing, he leaned his head against the pillar he was against and tried to collect his thoughts.
'What happened...the last thing I remember...'
Was that Peter had knocked him out.
Angry, he tried to stand up and find the little bastred but was stopped when he felt someone leaning against him. Looking down he could see that Kikyou was sleeping halfway on him. She sighed in her sleep and knoted her eye brows up for a moment then went back to a peaceful slumber. Seeing that he couldn't just stand up, Riku sighed and put a gloved hand through his hair.
'Just great, I've been turned into a 6 year old, Kikyou got possessed or whatever the fuck happened to her, and I got knocked out some asshole that wears tights!'he thought angrly to himself. Turning to look at the full moon he almost didn't hear the voice behind him say:
"So your finally awake huh?"
Turning to look at Peter Riku glared at him. "Yeah I am. Whats with you punching me? Thats some thanks for someone that faught against the person YOU were suppost to be fighting. Where the hell were you during all this anyway?"
Peter didn't say anything but looked down at the stone floor and made his right hand into a fist. Tinker Bell floated near Peter Pan's head but didn't say anything.
"Do you think I didn't want to fight him? He's been my enemy for years! But if you think I was going to help you then your mistakened."
"Whats that suppost to mean? You helped us before the ship broke apart, whats changed now?"asked Riku.
"Whats changed? I'll tell you whats changed "Riku"!"shouted out Peter as he looked back up at him and glared angrly. "You helped him! Your the same person that was on Captain Hook's ship when Wendy was kidnapped, I'm suprised I didn't see it before! I should have know when she-"
He was interupted as Kikyou chose this moment to make her persence known and stood up. "I don't know what your talking about but...You almost got him killed! I can not forgive you for that you basterd!" Kikyou punched him across the face and Peter went flying into the stone wall. Tinker Bell hovered over him, concerned about his safety, but did nothing to harm the priestess. Riku said nothing but stood up and kept silent and leaned against the pillar next to him.
"You would help him! You would be concerned about whether he lived or died! You don't even know anything about him! This persons not as innocent as he seems to be!"
"I know that!,"Kikyou shouted at him."But I don't care! I don't know everything about him, but I do know that he risked his life for mine more times then I could count! I don't care about what he did in the past, I want only to be with him! So don't tell me what I know and what I don't know!"
Peter stood up and wiped the blood from his mouth. Glareing at the both of them he said: "hehe Find then, but next time I see you two again, I won't just stand back let it go. I won't help you either, I can't forgive the kid for all the lives that he destroyed. Next time we meet, I will kill you. Don't stand in my way." And with that him and Tinker Bell left, leaveing Riku and Kikyou alone in the clock tower.
Kikyou clenched her fist and looked at the stone floor. After a minute she sighed and looked at the jewel in her right hand. Fixing the clasp she put it back around her neck and looked around in items bag (where the characters magicly keep all that stuff they carry with them. I think the bags invisable or somthing.) for her brown trench coat.
"Kikyou, are you sure about wanting to hang around with me? You heard what mister asshole of the day said."
"Ah! Here it is!" Kikyou either didn't hear what Riku said or didn't listen, she pulled out her trench coat but didn't put it on. "I still have yours too, catch!"
Riku caught it easily in one hand then glared at her. "Are you listening to a word I said?"
"Yes I am,"said Kikyou as she stepped closer to him."But does it matter? Where do you think I'm going to go Riku? I wouldn't leave you, plus I'm fine really I am."
Riku sighed and turned around to look at the moon as he put on his black trench coat. "Yeah thanks to that jewel you have, you still haven't explained about how you healed yourself and turned into "super Kikyou" in the process."
Kikyou looked questionly at him, she didn't know what he was talking about. All she remebered was passing out because of the pain then wakeing up to Peter yelling at Riku. She thought Riku had healed her useing a cure spell. "Riku, what are you talking about? Didn't you heal me?"
Riku sighed and looked over his shoulder to stare into Kikyou's deep earth brown eyes. Seeing that she wasn't lieing, he turned his head back to look at the moon. 'Nevermind then, I guess you really don't remember anything about that. Lets just chalk it up to the jewel's "mysterious ways"."
"I guess..."Kikyou replyed. A moment of uneasiy silence passed before Riku decided to break it.
"Kikyou, back in Kingdom Hearts...when Ansem had control of my body and before I woke up not to remember anything...What happened?"
Kikyou put a hand to her heart and looked away. She had been dreading telling him what really happened, seeing that it was really her fault that his friends had died. Well at least she thought it was her fault. But it was too late to make up anything now.
"Riku...When I got the call from Pocahontas that you had gone missing, I headed down to the station to see what was wrong and if you were really missing. Pocahontas and Li...we went after you...and..."
"Their dead aren't they?"
Kikyou took a step back, she hadn't been expecting for him to say that. Sighing, Riku looked longly at the moon then turned his head to look at her. "I sort of thought that they were, seeing how only us made it this far...Seeing the look from your face, I guess I suprised you didn't I?"
Kikyou sighed and stepped toward him tell they were two feet away from each other. "Yes you did suprise me. Riku...I'm sorry, its all my fault that I...that I didn't try to help them out. Even when they told me to go and find you, to leave fighting that monster to them, I should have turned back anyway and tried to help them. Its all my fault."
"Forget about it, its not important. The important thing now is finding Ansem and returning you to your own world. And finding out about that jewel that you have."Riku replyed, brushing the subject away and turning away from the moon to walk away from both it and Kikyou.
Kikyou watched him go, then turned toward him and yelled at his back. "Riku, I know that you're not just letting this go! You don't have to act strong in front of me! I showed weakness in front of you and you helped me through it. I want you to tell me how your feeling, don't lie, its okay to be weak..."
"You're right, I did help you to stop crying that time. But I just can't sit here and cry about it, Ansems still out here, I want to finally beat him. Beat him for real this time and on my own. Kikyou...will you help me?"asked Riku.
Kikyou smiled a little. "Like I wouldn't? I want to beat him too, let me help you. Lets beat him together okay?"
"Sure."replyed Riku, smileing alittle too. Kikyou sighed with relief, seeing that he wasn't going to say something horrible to her about how corny she sounded. Then fast walked over to his side.
"Of course first we'll have to figure out how to be come our normal size again..."Riku said with a frown. Kikyou nodded and she watched as Riku stepped off the towers balcony and floated there for a second. He reached out a hand toward her and Kikyou took it and stepped off the balcony and floated with him. It seemed that Tinker Bell had left them the power of flight, one of the good things that meeting Peter and her had done for them. They flew up untill they could see the top of Big Ben and were higher up over the city.
Looking around Kikyou saw that one of the clocks faces had the wrong time on it and one of the numbers, the number 10, was glowing a strange shade of light lavender.
"Hey Riku...whats that?"
Turning to look at what she was pointing as Riku replyed: "Its nothing, just one of the clocks faces is broken."
"Yeah but I read in this book that everyday the workers check the clock to make sure nothings wrong with it. So it can't be broken and no one not notice it. Plus that light..." Before Riku could say anything she had took off and headed for the clocks broken face.
Kikyou floated near the glowing number and then hesitantly reached out a hand to touch its light. It glowed brightly for a second then a light blinded her and Riku's vision. When it disappeared Kikyou looked down at herself.
She was no longer a little kid, but she wasn't exactly her age either.
Riku came up behind Kikyou and looked her up and down. "Well at least your no longer a pipsqueak..."
Kikyou glared at him. "For once in your life be serious! We've been changed from little kids into-"
"Fifteen year olds, or in your case fourteen."Riku interupted Kikyou and said.
"More like 13, I'm not sure at the moment what my exact age is, and I don't care! I want my body back the way it was!"she exclaimed unhappily. Riku sighed and looked up at the stars again.
"Then it seems like were going to have to look for another one of these lights..."
"Then lets go! I'm not afraid...besides it will be like a school scavanger hunt."said Kikyou with a smile, trying to cheer him up since he looked like he was deep into sad thoughts. Or memorys.
"I'm glad you have a cheery out look on things..."Riku said and then looked at her. Kikyou gave him a small sad smile and then flew away from him to float on top of the clock tower.
"Thats because I know that this time, when we meet Ansem again, we will meet him together. Lets go."
"Lets go start this fairy tale again."
(Chapter end)
Wow...This chapter and the one before it couldn't be anyless how I thought it out. Origanaly it was suppost to happen like this.
Kikyou was suppost to drop out of the sky and into that forest, but with out all those memorys from her past. And, of course, with out as many cuss words. And the part with Sora and Kari was suppost to show up before Kikyou fell out of the sky.
Riku wasn't suppost to have a dream at all! He was just suppost to wake up and ask the nurse who he was and how he got their and etc.
The rest untill the part with the fight with Captain Hook was suppost to be the same. But with out the repeating dream thing and all that action! Captain Hook was just suppost to die with out turning into anything. (And with out Kikyou getting possessed too!) Then after Kikyou got his soul and Peter found out about who Riku really was, Peter was suppost to leave after saying his theats and Riku and Kikyou would have a talk at the Clock tower and turn into their teenage selfs.
Unfortantly, thats not how my muse wanted it. And thus you got all this. Through this version is better. It shows a deeper insite into the plot and the main charactes. Also some insite to how they feel about each other and Riku's past. Which I will not write out, I could but you can read that from any old fanfiction and if I made my version it would probably end up like other peoples. So I won't even try and you'll just end up with the feeling (hopefully) that his time with Ansem and the bitch Malasshole (I hate her) was horrible.
But the part where Kikyou got possessed by the jewel was suppost to come later! Like 5-6 chapters later! Maybe even more! Oh well... I guess it will still come out alright...I hope.
About the age change...I thought it would be kinda funny if they fought as kids and then had to complain and search for a bunch of crappy lights in order to change back! lol I guess I got some twisted sense of humor! Oh well, they will become their old selfs again, don't worry. I'm not that mean! (yeah right...)
Anyway I'm tired and I don't feel like finding the correct spelling for "insite". That and reading this whole chapter over again for mistakes, I'll read it tomorrow and if anythings wrong fix the mistakes. So take it away Sora!
Sora: Right Jazz7. Read and review, and don't flame! Believe me, you don't want to get on her badside!
Kari: Yeah...what she did to Riku just wasn't right. (shivers from memory) Poor him, eatten alive by fangirls.
Kikyou: No worse, became their evil slave!
Riku: Don't just stand there! Help me! Agggh!!
Sora: Okay Riku, as soon as this episode of "The Wire" is over! Now review!
