Kairi rushed back into the room, a large bowl full of ice in her arms. "Hey guys, I got some ic-" Thud.. the bowel was now on the floor.. ice and glass everywhere on the floor.. but that didn't matter.. the scene before her was much more scary..
"Sora! Riku!" Kairi yelled running to the two boys collasped by each other onto the ground. She fell to her knees and shook both of them. Luckily, they were both still concious.. but neither were able to us their bodies for some strange reason.. "You two alright?" She asked, trying to bite back the tears that waited to fall from her eyes from seeing her best friends down like this. Too bad they made their great escape when they weakly replied back to her.
After a few moments of the room being filled with Kairi's soft sobs, she noticed something off.. Then it hit her..! "Where is Kid?" Kairi stared wide eyed ahead of her; to the opened balchony door before her.. "No.."
My head.. it aches.. Ugggh.. And what's with this brightness hitting my face.. it sort of hurts you, you know.. When I fully came to it, I found myself completely fine.. except one little fact.. "Why do I keep waking up in strange places..?" As I sat up, I looked around the completely white room dryly. It isn't April fools, you know. But seriously, Jungle, The Mini Island, Riku's Room, Now this unknown room.. sheesh, what's happening to me lately?
Shaking it off, I began to observe the white room more.. It was a plain white room that look about 14 by 20 inches long. It had nothing other than the plain white bed that I was sitting in.. and that one dangling light from the cieling. Kind of boring.. and bright, right? I am just wondering where the door was..
A little panic danced inside of my non-exsistance heart.. or did it exsist..? Am I the non exsistance..? I.. shouldn't be contemplating any of these thoughts either.. Yet, when you're alone in a room with nothing to do, these thoughts just seem to creep into your mind, you know? I don't know what am I.. or even who I am anymore.. I am unsure who to believe or what to believe in.. I felt anxious and confused right now.. I should be freaking out about the door situation,.. I think any normal person would be.. But I'm not normal, now am I? ..Wait, what is even the definiation of Normal..? I just..
Before my thoughts could proceed, a felt paranoia strike threw my whole body.. Was I hearing things..? There is no possible way that someone could of gotten in here.. ! So.. why am I hearing foot steps echo threw out the room..? I turned slowly, seeing my worse nightmare before me.. S-..someone is actually in here..! H-How..?
I could only see that wicked grin behind that black leather hood.. the same usual Cloak.. the only difference was this time, this person seemed to be about 19-years-old.. on the Feminine side.. Mature.. ...Wait..! This.. feeling of my energy being sucked out of me.. I-..It's the same as before..! This is the person..?
The mysterious woman walked over to me confidently, my energy going even more and more away as she proceeded closer to my bed bound body. She then boldly grabbed the front of collar, bringing me closer to her face, "I promised Riku I'd take his precious away from him." I saw in her eyes.. "At first it was going to be that Princess.." it was.. filled with rage and enjoyment.., "But then we found you and everything fell into place.." She brought her lips to my ears and whispered, "All of the people Riku to find precious, it had to be something he could never have for himself." She shot her head back, laughing coldly at the thought, "It's just so freakin' perfect!" What.. was she even talking about..?
"I.." My lips began to quiver, "..." I couldn't form a proper sentence! Gee, Something is wrong here.. something is wrong with her. Who was she exactly? What does she have to do with Riku? I'm Riku's precious..? What does she mean he could never have..? And .. I... don't know! My head hurts right now! I brought my hands up and wrapped them around her wrists. "I want you to let me go.."
"Ohhh?" She frowned, "I'll let you go physically, but I won't ever release you. We need you way too much, Miss Warrior." Again with the Warrior..? Just.. who am I? Just spit it out already, darn it! I need to know who I am.. I... - "Or should I say.." .. "Miss Light." L-Light..? What does she mean by that..? She released my collar, placing her hands on her hips.
I opened my mouth to ask her about it, but I couldn't utter out a single word to her. I tried once more, same results.. I don't understand what's going on.. Proceeding on without looking at me, "You're twin is next, you know. We'll need Darkness as well.. perhaps we'll steal Twilight and Dawn as well.." She looked to me amusedly, "You can most definitely bring those three here.. After all, you are the Key to saving the worlds." She patted my shoulders, "Don't forget how important you are to everyone." She turned on her one heel, starting to make her exited towards the closed white wall.
I watched this as if it was in slow-motion.. my world was distorting and blurring out.. This could.. my only chance..! I thought to myself helplessly, weakly pushing myself out of the bed. I stumbled onto my feet, reaching out for this strange woman. "Stop..!" I yelled out, throwing my arms around her waist. My knees crashed onto the ground making me scream out in pain from the shock that jolted threw me.
"Ohoho.." She turned her head down to me, "I would of thought you wouldn't of had any energy to move around after my Energy sucking.." S-so.. she is sucking me of my energy!.. "I am very pleased." The woman pushed me off of her.. yet, before my body could fall down like London's Bridge, her arms graceful caught me and held me up to face her directly. "Can I help you?"
"Yes.." I frowned, "Just who.. No.. What am I?" I needed to know.. I-... What's so funny? Why are you laughing at the question.. I was being serious..! Dangit..
"I'd expect nothing less than a tool not to remember anything!" She grinned sinisterly, as if she had a heart to back up the smile.. Wait.. how did I know she didn't have one..? "You know me very well, Miss Light. We've met countless times thanks to a very special person your Riku stole from me." Riku.. took someone away from her..? But why..? And how..? "How about this," She started up again, "you do a little memory searching.." she took her hands off of me, letting me slowly fall, "and I give you a little aid!" or.. so I thought..
I flew back a few feet, my head finally colliding with the metal railings of the bed.. I was barely concinous.. and my stomach hurt from that ... whatever she jabbed into my stomach to shoot my back.. I.. don't understand why no one can just tell me what I want to know..!
I felt tears come on once more.. "Aw, is Miss Warrior of the Light still awake?" I could barely hear her taunting, "Let me do the favor and help you sleep!" White.. it.. went white after that jolt of pain that spread threw my body like a wild fire..
Damn it all...
..Wait.. H-Huh..? What is this... This.. memory..?
"Roxas!" A young brunette girl called out happily, running to a boy's side with a grin plastered upon her face. The young dirty blond turned to the girl, smiling back to her. She giggled a little, "I found out something neat!"
"What was that?" The blond replied back.
"You'll just have to see!" She grabbed his hand and ran off with him into the distance, my view of vision falling over. Roxas.. and.. -x-... Why am I being left behind here..? Hey.. don't let me go back to the Light Realm without a proper good-bye.. I have feelings too..!
Wha..? Why did I disappear.. how.. Roxas..? Why does that name sound familiar..? And why is -x-'s name etched out..? It's all.. fuzzy sounding.. And something about her was oddly familiar.. Were these truly my memories..? If so, then..I-... I don't know.. it just doesn't match up to me at all.. Why was I so desperate..?
I opened my eyes slightly, I was in the same room.. just placed in that bed again with- WHAT THE-! I blinked a couple times before shooting forward and then accidently slinging myself down onto the ground.
"Owwww..." I peeked up, to see a pair of pink eyes staring at me with pure confusion. I blink a couple times, taking a good look at this girl: White hair that's held in a low pony tail with a red ribbon holding it other; shining pink eyes that spoke of what was not only mention earlier, but curosity on her rounded, innocent face. She had skin that was probably as white as the room that we were placed in, which was a huuuuuge contrasted to that lovely black leather trench cloat that this place of wack-o's wore.
I ducked my head back under, oh great! Another crazy member of this wicked place! Get away! Get away! GET AWAYYY!... I held my hands on my head, closing my eyes tightly in hopes of her leaving.. hearing nothing, I opened my eyes and right as I went to peek up, there was a pair of curious pink eyes abou two inches from my own.
"..." Cue scream and a jump back into a wall. Thanks for the heart attack! I gasped a couple times, clutching my hand onto my chest.. I think my heart is ready to pop out of my chest now..
"You alright?" The high voice squeaked out in shock, rushing over to my side.. She seemed geinuely concerned.. But, I can't fall for that!.. Yet.
"Y-..Yeah.." I nodded, getting up.
"Ah," She smiled, "that's a relief!" I faced her, confused as she giggled happily. "The Suprerior surely would of had my head if something bad happened to you.." The Suprerior? "Though, I think what she did to you earlier was worse than any of us could do you.." She looked up as she trailed off into thought.
"Su-.. prerior..?" I asked outloud to myself. I casted a confuse look towards her. She looked back to me, and hitting her fist onto her palm as if a bright idea stuck her, she let out an "Ah".
"The Lady who tried to kill you earlier!" ..I'm not sure if I should be more disturbed at the fact that someone tried to kill me or at how happy she sounded saying that sentence. Perhaps a tad of both?
"A-..Ah.." Rubbing the back of my head, "I see.." This place is full of nut jobs! I suppose I'm not any worse though.. I'm not human.. I can see weird visions of the past.. And these strange.. "people" are after me for some reason.. Maybe I fit in more than I thought.. Sighh..
After a few moments of awkward silence, the pink eyed young girl cheerily spoke up, "By the way!" She grinned, "My name is Axin! Pleasure to meet you, Miss Warrior of the Light!" Again with the "Warrior-of-the-Light" stuff..? Seriously!
"Mn.." I forced a smile, "Nice to meet you too.. But I have a name. It's Erika, not this .. 'Warrior-of-the-Light' you people keep reffering to me as." She nodded innocently, "Alrightie, Eri!" E-..Eri! Before I could utter out another word, she turned on her heel happily, her hands clasped together behind her back. She stood like that for a few moments just staring at the wall in pure silence.. Nothing was really said at all from that point on..
I wasn't sure how long I had been in there. But what seemed like every few days, that strange girl named "Anix" popped in on me cheerily to talk about a tad of nothing. She just seemed to enjoy the silence with another person with her. I'm not sure why she was doing this.. But it was creepy! I'd recieve nothing but those creeper smiles.. Y-..You know.. the ones from the horror movies! Do-Not-Want!
But strangely, this time.. when she popped in.. "Hey, do you know about the Keyblades?" My eyes widen, remembering the myth's and books I have read of them.. And then Riku's Keyblade that he summoned that dark night.. She took that reaction as a 'yes' and continued on her merry way, "I see! Well, Suprerior will be pleased to know this!" And with a smile, she puffed into a smoke of dark mist.
"WOAH." Head, meet floor. Floor, meet head. I got up groaning at the pain in my head. Placing on hand on it, I searched the room for any signs of random dark mists.. and there was nothing.. but a random, echoy giggle. I couldn't help but laugh nervously at the giggle..
A-Am.. I going to be murdered at my age..?
"Dammit!" A hand slammed into the ground angerly, "How could I of..?" This time tear slammed into the ground next to the fist. A large body shook; small sobs coming from him. Yeah, it was Riku crying. It was Riku regretting. He let Kid go with that stranger for some reason.. Something in his heart couldn't take her dying if something could prevent it..
B-..But why was that the only way? Was the only thing he could think of. Why was the only way to save her life to hand her over? There.. must of been another way to save her life! Dammit all!
"She said.." Sora spoke up finally, his voice cracking, "I won't be able to ever summon the KeyBlade again.." Riku's head shot up quickly, "Because.." He gritted his teeth, "Kid is interferring with it." Riku's eye's widen.. They all know what she's been threw, but no one knows just what exactly she could be.
But.. that made sense.. Perhaps, Erika "Kid" Renee, is something similar to the three he's seen before.. Perhaps, she is the same as them. "...Sora has more in him than he thought.." Riku mumbled.
"But.. how could Kid be the reason why you can't summon your Keyblade?" Kairi asked. Riku sucked on his teeth, narrowing his eyes at the thought of Nobodies related to Sora that he's encountered before. The only logical thing that came to mind was that she was a Nobody of Sora.. which meant.. He was falling for a part of Sora.. Oh joy.
In any case, Riku knew what he had to do. Nobody or not, Riku.. felt something for the young brunette. He stood up weakly, stumbling a bit before getitng his balance. Sora and Kairi looked his way, wondering what he was up to.
"We're going to save her.." Riku mumbled, "We are going to save Erika!" He shouted, tears over coming his eyes.
"Riku.." Kairi softly smiled at him.
Sora shot up, "Yeah!" he smiled, "I don't care if she's the reason for my Keyblade not appearing! She's our friend.. we've got to save her no matter what!"
"Typical Sora." Riku grinned teasingly.
"Whaaaat?" Sora responded with a pout. Kairi sat there, her hand to mouth as she giggled into it at the two idiots that she loved.
AN - I can't believe how long this took me. I apologize for that. My excuse..? Eh, laziness! Haha. o: I'm sure you're already for the great reveal of Erika! ..I know I am. I would like to say how much all the reviews, PMs, favourite/watches.. all that.. it seriously means the world to me.
