Chapter 13: The Pyscho

Your POV

You and Sora stand there, awaiting the foe. Alice is hiding behind Sora, shaking like a leaf. Suddenly a vine twists around your ankle and pulls you to the ground...in a skirt, no less! A creeper plant...You push yourself up and hack at the vine. It disappears and small, green orbs appear. More creeper plants pop up, followed by hundreds of shadows and soldiers.

"Holy crap!" Sora shouts, swinging his keyblade and taking out at least ten soldiers. All of a sudden a bright light appears about a quarter mile away. Alice smiles.

"That's my portal!" she cries. She starts to run toward it, but a shadow jumps in front of her and stops her. She shrieks.

"Kira!" Sora yells, still playing his own version of "Rainbow Six". "Get Alice out of here!" Hundreds of green orbs bounce around, along with some munny.

"What about you?" you cry, chopping up a few shadows that seem to like Alice. You pick up the healing orbs and munny they give you.

"I'll be fine! Just get her home!"

"But-"

"Go, Kira! Hurry!"

You growl and grab Alice's arm. "C'mon, girly," you say, dragging Alice through the woods. She smiles a little, and you both begin to sprint full-out through the forest. Normally you wouldn't be in any hurry to get the bratty Brit home and comfortable, but Sora's relying on you. He needs you! So you move your short legs as fast as they can go, and you continue to sprint-while dragging Alice behind you-the quarter-mile long path. Finally you reach the portal. Alice pokes her head through, then turns to you.

"That's my mum!" she cries.

"Good," you say, gasping for air. "Go home now."

"Wait! I want to say goodbye to Sora!" WTF?!?!?! You are NOT running all the way back and forth again!!!

"There's no time! I'll tell him for you!" Yes, you're lying, but so what?

"But-"

"GO!" you scream, pushing her in. She screams and falls back into her world. The portal closes behind her. You sigh, then suddenly a shout of pain splits the air.

"Sora!...I'm coming!!" you cry, sprinting back to your friend.

Sora's POV

You cry out in pain as a soldier kicks your shin. Ow! You hack the stupid little beast in two. Backing up, you continue to slaughter. A little slash here, another there. Suddenly you bump into something large...something large and pudgy. This can't be good...You quickly turn around to see a Large Body Heartless.

"Oh crap," you mutter. Your eyes widen as you look up into the yellow eyes of the large body. It doesn't look too happy to see you. It glares down at you, and in response you smile sheepishly. Then it makes a loud noise as it raises its huge arm to strike you. You try to lift your keyblade, but your strength is practically gone. You close your eyes and brace yourself for the hit, but it never comes. Instead you hear the sound of a stab and then a low moan. You open your eyes to see the large body fall to the ground. Kira was there, panting. She was the one who killed it. The Heartless disappears, releasing healing orbs and munny. Kira smiles and throws you a few orbs. Your body absorbs them, and you feel your strength become renewed.

"Th-thanks," you murmur. Kira nods and runs toward the horde of Heartless. You watch in awe as she runs through them, destroying each and every Heartless she comes into contact with. You jump to your feet and join her.

After Some Serious Slashing

Your POV

You quickly scan the area. It appears to be clear of any Heartless. You let out a sigh and collapse onto the ground. Sora joins you, laying on his back, breathing hard. You sit with your legs outstretched in front of you. At this point, who gives a rip if you're in a skirt or not?! You're tired!!

You smile and lift you face to the sky. That was fun...but really scary. You thought you were going to lose Sora. That would've been...You blink back tears. You would've never forgiven yourself for that.

"Kira?" Sora suddenly says. You turn your head to look at him. His breath is a bit more controlled than before, and his face isn't as red. Although he's sweaty and dirty, he's still really hot.

"Y-yeah?" you say.

"You're a psycho," he says, laughing. You grin and nod in agreement. "Thanks," he adds. You feel yourself blush and you nod again.

"You alright?" you ask.

"Yeah. I think I'm just out of shape." You laugh a little.

"Well, at this rate, you'll get back 'in shape' in no time."

"Yeah," he says, staring up at the sky. You look too.

*It's great traveling with you,* you imagine yourself saying. *I've never felt this way about anyone.*

*Really?* he'd say. *I feel like that about you.* You then would stare into each other's eyes and-

"Ready to go lock this place up?" Sora asks, interrupting your fantasy.

"Um, sure," you say. Sora stands and walks over to help you up. He takes your hand and pulls you to your feet with a little more force than necessary.

"Whoa," you say, falling forward a little. Sora catches you gently by your arms.

"Sorry," he says, helping you get your balance. You blush a little as he holds your arms. He stands there for a moment, then quickly removes his hands. "L-let's go."

You nod and you both walk through the forest. *Yeah,* you think, *it sure is great.*

Fast Forward Through Sealing the Keyhole...We all know it's in the talking door, okay?

Sora's POV

You and Kira walk back to the place where you had fallen from your ship.

"Um, how are we gonna get back up?" Kira asks, looking straight up at your perfectly parked Gummi Ship.

"I-I guess we'll have to climb," you reply. Kira's face goes pale. "What?"

"Heights are one of the few things I'm afraid of," she says, her cheeks reddening.

"That's understandable....well, why don't I climb up and bring the ship down to you?"

"W-would you really?"

"Sure."

"O-okay!! Thank you!" she cries, bowing. You smile and jump up onto the first branch. This is the least you could do for her. She saved your life, after all.

*Kira is pretty amazing,* you think as you step up onto each branch. *She know so much, and she's only sixteen, whereas I'm seventeen. And she's pretty brave, too. She ran all that way to save me. She must really care about me.* You jump onto the last branch and ready your leap into the ship. *But it's not like I don't care about her, too. She's my friend, maybe even my best friend now.* You run and jump into the ship.

"Geez, I'm glad she left the door open!" you laugh, closing the door behind you. You go over to the control panel and start the ship.

Your POV

As soon as you hear the leaves start to blow around up above you, you breath a sigh of relief. Sora is crazy; he was climbing that tree like a maniac! Even if you weren't afraid of heights, you still wouldn't have gone that fast. You thank the higher power he didn't fall.

The ship hovers just below the ground, and Sora opens the door, smiling a little.

"Thank youuuuuu!" you cry, jumping aboard. After closing the door behind you, you run over to your chair and sit.

"You're welcome," Sora says, laughing. "Let's get out of this place."

"AMEN!" you shout, pumping your fist into the air. He laughs again, and you leave Wonderland. This means you'll move on to the next world: Olympus Coliseum. "Do you think Cloud will be in the coliseum?" you ask, taking your hair down.

"It all depends on where Se-hey!! How do you know about that?" Sora says, looking distressed.

"I told you, it's a secret. As in I can't tell you."

Sora grumbles something under his breath, then asks, "Can we listen to music?"

"I guess," you say, handing him an earbud.

"Woo!" His eyes brighten as he pops it into his ear. You giggle and play your Coliseum music: KH and KH2 soundtrack music, Hercules soundtrack music, and ~One Winged Angel~. During O.W.A., Sora asks, "What are they saying?"

You sigh, start the song over, and sing along.

"Th-they were saying 'Sephiroth'?" he asks. You nod. "How do you know about him?"

"Who doesn't?" He shrugs.

"True."

Phew. That was close.

Alice's POV

"Mum! Mum!" you cry, running with your arms outstretched. "I'm home!"

"There you are," your mum says, swooping you into a hug. "Where on earth were you?"

"I wasn't on Earth! I went to Wonderland again! And I saw Sora again!"

"Oh dear, you must be exhausted, running about in this heat." Your mum puts her hand on your forehead, but you quickly swipe it away.

"And he had a girl with him this time!"

"You're delusional, child."

"No, I'm not! Her name was Kira! She was with Sora!..." You look down at your feet. "She helped me get home," you say quietly.

"Well, then...let's go inside and have tea."

"R-right." Your mum leads you towards the house.

*What an ungrateful brat I've been!* you think. *Kira was only trying to be nice. She wasn't there just to protect Sora...she helped me! And I was nothing but rude!* You stop and lift your face to the sky.

"Thank you, Kira!" you whisper. You then smile and run to catch up with your beloved mother.

???'s POV

You've got to find him. You will never stop your search for that devil. He doesn't deserve to live any longer. He's taken too many lives, and destroyed even more than's he's killed. Nobody responsible for acts that terrible should be allowed to roam around freely, no matter how scary they are.

You sigh and rest you head against the wall. The bad part about this is that your best friends can't be with you. But, by far, the person you miss most is your girlfriend. They can't come though. This is dangerous business.
