Since it took me SOOOO long to update, I thought I'd give you two chapters to read. Sorry for the wait! Blame school. :(

By the way, I am in no way a gymnast or a cheerleader or anything of the sort, so if I use the wrong terminology for the moves that Camille uses, let me know!

Chapter XIV

For a young skinny boy with a giant key for a weapon, Sora sure did pack quite a punch. I was in pain and my muscles were screaming for rest, but I knew I couldn't stop the fight. I had to fight the boy until a winner was finally determined.

I had been honest from the start. I told him I knew Namine and that I was with the group that held her (although I pointed out that I wasn't part of the same group, just with them). I then told him I wanted no trouble, but I had no choice in the matter. I was to test his memories and he should do his best to fight back. Then the battle began.

Donald was down, and Goofy was currently disarmed, but Sora re-summoned his keyblade and was on the attack. I dodged swiftly, veering to the left before striking out, leaving a gash in his arm when I used my chakrams as brass knuckles to punch him with. He sent a horizontal slash at me, and I jumped up and landed on his keyblade. I instantly pushed off flipping over him and landing before turning and slashing at his back, leaving a large cut on him.

"Never leave your back open for attack." I instructed him before hopping away from him to give him a moment to turn.

Out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of the shield with just enough time to watch it slam into my right arm and side with enough force to knock me to the nearby wall. The shield rebounded back to its owner and I collapsed onto my knees.

"And you should never forget about all of your opponents." Sora smirked and he stood straight, although pain was evident in his eyes.

I chuckled before standing slowly. "I'll keep that in mind." With a matter of seconds lightning struck Goofy head on and he was electrocuted thoroughly. He collapsed in pain, using his shield to hold himself up.

Sora charged at me, and I flipped to dodge, but he moved with me, following my movements. I used a butterfly kick to change direction before going into a dive roll to avoid the swing of a keyblade.

I stood back up and threw my chakram out at Sora, but he charged and blocked the weapon. I blocked the blade with my remaining chakram, using my open hand as support by gripping my straining wrist.

Goofy struck at my back, which forced me to force Sora off me with a strong push before blocking Goofy in his strike.

And that was a fatal cost.

Sora recovered quicker than I expected and slashed at my back, reopening my wound from earlier. I let out a strangled cry before collapsing. Goofy didn't pursue me, but he held his shield up, ready for me to throw my chakram at him.

He didn't expect me to trip him. I continued the move and like a helicopter; I turned using my hands to hold me up as I spun and knocked Sora off his feet. I was instantly at my feet and held my chakram at Sora's neck. He stared at me with wide eyes.

I felt a tap of a staff on my shoulder and I slightly turned my head to see Donald (when did he get up?) and Goofy standing right behind me with their weapons pointed at me. I smirked before lowering my weapon from Sora's neck.

"You win." I said simply before allowing my weapons to take their place passively on my wrists as normally sat. "Well fought." I held my hand out and casted a cure magic on Sora, Donald and Goofy, ridding myself of my last reserve magic. I backed away from the trio to allow them to help Sora up.

Once he was up and looked at me with confusion. "Why…why did you heal us?"

I shrugged my shoulders and placed my hands in my pockets. "You can't continue to climb the castle to save Namine if you're injured." I removed one hand, tossing him the card I held onto. "You'll need that."

"Who are you?" Sora asked with a quizzical look. "You don't wear the same clothes as them, but you fight for them. Then you heal me and treat me like a friend. Just what are you up too?"

I smiled softly at his determined look. "I…I feel like I should protect you, Sora. Maybe this is unconventional, but it's the best I can give you for now. Continue up and save Namine, Sora. And don't lose sight of your friends." I lowered my eyes and sighed. I could feel my adrenaline wear off and the pain started to slowly overwhelm me. "If you're not careful, you could lose them."

I held my arm out like Lea always did to open a portal, and I wasn't disappointed when a second later a portal appeared. I sighed in relief as Sora and the other gasped in surprise as I made my way to the portal.

I was suddenly back in the main room with Lea staring at me worriedly and Larxene slightly upset. "Why did you heal him?" She asked hotly.

"If you want him to do as you want him to, you'll need him alive." I replied. "While you guys push him with anger, I can be the one light, the one person that pushes onward. He'll become my friend and eventually he'll follow me to the top of the castle. By then he should be your puppet, right?"

Larxene eyed me strangely, as if wondering if I was worthy enough to be let in on her and Marluxia's big 'secret'. Of course it didn't take real smarts to know they were planning to overthrow Xemnas. I didn't know exactly what to do about it yet, but I had until I was gonna play on both sides of the coin. If I could get on their good side, I could get on their good graces. At least until Sora made it to the top to destroy them.

That one fight with Sora explained everything to me. He was a strong hearted keyblade wielder. He was powerful and passionate and I knew that would be the Organization's downfall. Namine wouldn't let him become a puppet. He wouldn't allow himself to become that.

I wouldn't allow it to happen. But until it did, I had to play double agent.

"Very smart, Camille." I turned and faced Marluxia who was staring at me carefully. "You appeal to Sora's kindness and friendliness while we light his anger. With a friend like you on his side, you could fan the flames we build until he engulfs himself in anger and hatred."

I nodded my head. The pain was beyond overwhelming now. I could barely hear anything anymore except the rush of my blood. All I could see was the ground coming closer to meet my face.

I stopped midair, but I couldn't really feel much. My eyes were becoming blurred and my mind was blacking out. I was passing out. As I lost consciousness, I could see a red outline. Lea's hair.
