One Journey, Two Stories

Chapter 11

You can do this, you can do this—you can do- oh damn it this just sucks. I thought as I did the most horrid thing, in my opinion. I thought about the traitors, and how they tried to cheer me on. Damn traitors they are.

"Go get her, and don't be sloppy!" The pyro cheered a big fat grin on his lips.

"Yeah…what he said." Leon said calmly thumb pointed at Axel, a small smile on his features.

"You can do it Riku!" Sora cheered waving a fist in the air.

"Yeah, yeah easy for you all to say…cowards." I muttered as I approached the clone. You don't have to make out with a fake of your love.

So, now I'm in a nice secluded area with the clone. Sighing I sat against a tree, and my mind drifted to Yun. Her long maple brown locks, hazel depths sparkle with warmth, rosy lips slightly parted formed into a sincere smile. As I dwelled on those thoughts the clone approached me, pulling me back to reality with its fake tone.

"What's this? Are you thinking of me?" It whispered in my ear. "Well, let's stop dreaming then…" It declared before covering my lips with its own.

It didn't seem to mind I wasn't responding, as it wasn't like I wanted to kiss back. But…for some reason, I felt like I was in the spot light, like someone was watching this…but, who?

"Damn it, that bastard took my necklace…" I cursed glaring at my cell door.

I'll give him a piece of my mind for stealing. I planned as I heard the man approaching.

He was deadly handsome, but a creepy psycho underneath. Raven neck length hair, and crimson eyes gleaming of something evil. He wore a closed organization trench coat before, but now I could see he was clad with a crimson shirt, blue fitted pants, and black shoes.

I continued to glare at him, finding that I couldn't do much more. He only seemed to grin at my attempts finding it amusing. Damn it, if I wasn't confined I'd kick his sorry ass… I sneered all the while shooting him daggers, if only looks could kill.

"Oh just like her brother, how sweet. But, didn't I tell you I'd get you in my grasp?" He cooed all the while smiling darkly.

"Why am I here, how about telling me that?" I spat trying to keep my cool.

"Because…my little gunner-" he started approaching me and stopping in front of me. "I need you."

I ended that kiss before it got out of hand. I smirked to myself as I sat in a tree. I was able to get the whereabouts of my little cloud. Soon, soon I'll have her back.

I touched my lips, and then smiled. Yes that's what I'll do first. Kiss until we're both outta breath. I sighed as my mind drifted off into peaceful bliss.

"See? What did I tell you?" Vawn stated as I watched the events through his vision painted circled mirror. "He betrayed you, Yun…he doesn't care about you at all, but I do."

"…"

"Leave." I quietly spat.

"What?" He asked not hearing me the first time.

"LEAVE." I threatened ready to just about snap, and destroy.

"As you, wish my little gunner." He cooed as he bowed, and disappeared without a trace.

After Vawn left I couldn't think about anything but the scene, as it played over and over again. How could Riku do that? Can't he tell that's a fake? Is this punishment for what I've done?

Why does my heart ache sooo much when I see Riku with another? This question seemed to echo as I passed out, my vision black.

After a few more moments I headed back to camp, a grin on my features. Finally, I can save her. Not sit, and do nothing. I thought as I approached.

I didn't sense the clones nearby, so I called the guys over, and we came up with a rescue plan to save the girls.

"So we leave at dawn, let's get some sleep." Leon declared.

I and the others got ready for bed, and soon it was quiet. I laid there for a few moments, before my eyes began to droop and soon sleep was upon me.

"So how'd we do?" My spies/clones purred as they approached me. I held myself together and showed nothing.

"Nicely done. If I can lure those fools in, the two will surely crack…" As I torture their loved ones before their eyes. I finished in my mind, a dark grin forming on my lips. Heh, the two will be MINE, and mine to control.

"Master, what do we do now?" One asked as they stood before me.

"We, there's no 'we' in this plan of mine. Besides, they have no trust for you two anymore." I stated coolly combing a hand through my raven trends.

"B-b-but we can change our appearance! We can lure the-"

"SILENCE!" I commanded.

She closed her mouth, both shaking from my outburst. I drew my lips to a grim line, as my gaze hardens. I knew it was pointless to keep the two, they served their purpose well. Besides, if the enemy didn't trust them…why should I? I smirked and started to laugh, starting from a small rumble in my throat to a full belly maniacal laugh. Tears prinked at the back of my eyes, as I continued to laugh. The two started to chuckle light-heartily, but I stopped instantly and glared the two down.

"Why are you laughing? To save yourselves perhaps, fruitless attempt for creatures like you." I growled darkly silently casting them to their deaths.

"But-we ca-"

"I have no more use for the likes of you filth" Just as I said this, they vanished, gone from this world forever.

"Now…" I started turning around and walking. "My plans can surely begin." I said with a dark grin, as I vanished from view.

Seeing as how the clones were nowhere to be seen, we packed up and headed out, our destination; Shadow Ash Temple.
"Why—WHY?!" I sobbed into my palms as I crumpled to my knees "Why did you say words that you weren't going to keep?"

I continued to cry, until my throat was dry and the tears wouldn't fall. I pulled my legs to my chest, shaking my tear stained face in denial. They appeared before me, and I wanted to cry.

"No! NO, NO!!" I cried in the dark abyss of this nightmare.

I took a deep quick breath, before taking out another guard. I ignored the sweat that was trickling down my jaw, as I only focused on staying alive. Henchmen tried surrounding me, but it was a wasted effort.

Calling upon the dark power that rested within, I waited until they came a little closer. Casting dark aura they were sent back in all directions, body parts flying, but covered in black. I shook the dizziness away, as that spell always took a lot out of me. Scanning the area, there were few auras attacking us from before.

We ran towards the temple without a word to one another. Displaying our power earlier gave us time to conserve energy for more important matters. Bursting into the great hall, we were greeted with two paths, and more henchmen.

"Sora, Riku take the upstairs! Axel and I will take the basement levels!" Leon exclaimed with determination, as he ran towards the lower levels, killing anyone who got in his way.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Axel complained running after Leon.

"Sora." I said calmly but firmly. He looked at me, and nodded. "NOW!" I shouted as we ran towards the upper chambers, men falling under our blades. As we ran further we came across a two way floor. We both took one path, Sora going down one way, I the other.

I panted lightly as I ran and felt for her aura. I felt my skin tingle as her aura grazed across my form. I sucked air into my lungs quickly, trying to keep a level head.

So close…I'm so close, I can almost taste it. I thought absentminded as I continued. I pulled my blind-fold off when I made it to her confines. I made quick work of the cell door, and quietly gasped as I gazed upon her small form.

I growled and then used Souleater to break the shackles. I caught her as she slipped from the confines—weaken by the person who did this. I wrapped my blind-fold around her right arm, the one that used to be wounded. After securing the ribbon, I cradled her in my arms.

"Little cloud…my light." I quietly whispered caressing her cheek. I held her to my form, all the while stroking her maple brown hair.

I searched most of the cells, and finally I found Kuri. I rushed in, after putting some effort into opening the door. I took my Keyblade and made little work of the shackles that pinioned her.

After removing the shackles that bound her to the wall, I caught her as she slipped—clearly weakened from whatever this villain had done to her.

"Kuri? Are you okay? What happened?" I asked, concern shimmering in my depths.

Her head remained hung, her long chocolate brown hair flowing down freely to cover her face—both her hat and hair tie gone. Slowly she rose to her feet, gently removing my palms from her shoulders. She took a few steps forward, staggering a bit from the lack of walking.

"Kuri?" I called, reaching out to her.

"Don't." She commanded.

I froze, my hand mere inches from her. Something is wrong. I realized.

She continued her slow march to the door, pulling it open when she arrived. I panicked when one of the henchmen came up, noticing her.

"Hey you! You're supposed to be in restraints!" He hollered, running up to her.

My hand flew to my Keyblade but before I could so much as take a step Kuri's hand shot forward, burying itself in the man's chest.

"Get out of my way." She ordered coldly. Her entire arm lit with purple fire, electricity dancing into her palm and exploding inside the man—electrifying him from the inside-out.

My eyes were wide in shock as Kuri removed her soaking red hand from the henchman—his carcass falling to the floor.

"K-Kuri?" I stammered, my face going ghostly pale at what I'd just witnessed.

"Don't." She commanded again, slipping into the hallway. I heard a few more inhuman screams like the one the first henchmen had made and it hit me: Kuri was…killing people. She was killing anyone who got in her way.

B-but why?! What…what could have happened to- I stopped mid-thought, spotting a slight glimmer on the floor. I knelt down, picking up what looked like a crimson ring hanging from a chain. A crimson ring? It couldn't be…her best friend. I clenched the precious item in my hand, rushing out into the hall—just spotting Kuri's retreating form as she turned a corner.

I have to stop her…but how?

After witnessing what just happened I knew what had to be done, and the person who could do it as well. Slipping from the shadows I passed the Keybearer, known as Sora, and made my way to Yun's cell quickly.

I heard the footfalls behind me, and I knew the boy would follow without word. Walking quickly to her cell, I let thoughts flow trying to find ways to tell Yun about Kuri's issue, and my feelings.

I stayed in my true form, finding it pointless to hide it any longer. My ears twitched when I heard the gunner beginning to stir. I grinned liking the fact we could leave this blasted place, and travel together.

That idea was destroyed when I saw her in the arms of another male, showing they were more than friends. I clenched my hands into fists, my claws digging into my palms. I shook with jealously and rage, but calmed. Now's not the time for this.

"Riku, we need to stop Kuri!" Sora shouted as he ran into the cell.

The boy looked to him and nodded, understanding. Riku looked back to Yun with gentleness and then sighed. I gritted my fangs wanting to get rid of this boy, and keep Yun to myself.

He shook her, and she slowly came to. She awoke with a start, and shook her head to clear away any sleep that remained. Yun glanced to Riku, and seemed to frown, as she glared at him.

"Why are you here?" She demanded getting out of his grasp quickly.

An eerie silence lingered among us, as he stood dumbfounded by her question. It's one-sided then…I have a chance it seems. I thought waiting for this to continue. But, it seems it'll have to wait as Sora stepped in.

"I'd hate to come between…" We glanced at the boy. "But, Kuri's on a killing spree, and…"

"Kuri?! Why didn't you say so earlier?!" Yun snapped and then ran out into the hallway, the rest of us following her shortly after.

So many thoughts ran through my head as I followed the trail of dead bodies. I remember when this happened to her before, and I had the desire to kill the son-of-a-bitch who invoked this side of her.

I hope I can stop her before innocent lives are lost…

Why did she ask that? What did I do that I'm not aware of? That guy probably put some junk into her head…or something of the sort. I thought as I continued to run after Yun.

I probably sound stupid, but I don't like Hiko. I don't like how he looks at her, my LITTLE CLOUD. And now I have an opponent for her feelings. I growled under my breath at that thought.

What is this intense power that is approaching so slowly? Either it's the mage…or the gunner. That makes no sense! They weren't even aware of them before! I thought searching for answers as I rattled my brain.

When I felt the aura—I felt a shiver go down my spine, because it was the darkest power that I've felt, and it was only being fueled for the desire for blood; mine.

I bit on my bottom lip as I saw all the lifeless bodies. All I knew is, I had to stop her, before she reached Vawn. I knew she wanted to kill him—Sora gave me my necklace back, and suddenly I was more aware of why she's in this state.

One thing does confuse me…no many things do. I shook those questions aside and only focused on reaching Kuri.

I see that they knew only I could stop her, because either they heard, or merely by my reaction to this issue.

Kuri! I inwardly shouted when I saw her turn a corner. I pushed myself to run faster, and stop her before she'd have us at her mercy.

A/N: And that's where I'm stopping this chapter! Well, is Yun and company gonna stop Kuri in time?

I want at least 5 reviews for this story to continue!
