Chapter XXIX: Climax

Disclaimer: I don't own KH, FinalFantasy, SquareEnix, or Disney. I just use their characters. I LOVE YOU SORA! Ahem… Sorry for that. Back to the story…

Kaiyo's POV: Unfold

I wave at Kairi as she walks out of school. "C'mon!" I yell, cupping my hands around my mouth.

She jogs over with a puzzled look on her face. "What is it?"

"You're tired of Seifer, right?"

"Yeah…"

"Then come with me!" I grab her hand and take off running to the beach.

"What are you doing?" She asks me. "Why did you tell whoever you were on the phone with this morning that Sora and I broke up?"

"Quit asking questions, Kairi. Trust me. I just hope Kazuo doesn't smell a rat. Other than normal, that is…" I look out at the horizon. The boat nears. They should be on that… I check the time. "Seifer should be here just in time…" I look again toward the shack, to the secret place, and around at some familiar faces walking the beach. "Gang's here okay…"

"This better be good!" I hear from behind and spin around to see Seifer. "What do you want?" he asks Kairi. I nudge her to give me support.

"What do you think it's about?" she asks him in return.

"Your BROTHER told me you wanted to see me."

She cocks her head. "Because I broke up with Sora, right?"



"I don't know. Did you?"

"U-Yeah…"

"So you DO want to see me?" he asks cockily and leans back, checking her out.

"10 minutes… 10 minutes," I tell myself just as the fairy docks and people start off the connecter.

She spins on me. "You told him I wanted to see him?!" I look into her eyes, not seeing any real anger, but rather a cover. "I hate you! I'm so embrrassed!" She looks away, oddly blushing.

"That's what you told me. You've always had a crush on him, though I don't see why."

"Hey, smarta!" he rejects. "I LIKED Sora."

"Well, look who we have here…" Kazuo sneers as he walks into our little circle, mom and dad right behind him. "The slut and the runaway."

"15 minutes… 15 minutes for his time…"

"Finally come to your senses?" he asks Kairi. "I can forgive you for sleeping with that b."

"Who are YOU?" Seifer asks.

"Kairi's fiance. Who the h are you?"

"Kairi's next boyfriend," Seifer answers.

Kairi looks at me with wide eyes, suddenly figuring out why she and Sora 'broke up', why Seifer's here, why Kazuo's here, and she's soon going to find out the rest. This is just the scratch of the surface.

"What the f?! We're getting married!" Kazuo exclaims getting very irritated.

"Kairi, when this starts," I whisper in her ear, "I want you to run away. Don't watch, just go. Go to Sora's house, go anywhere. Just know that they aren't going to bother you anymore."

"What?" she asks. "Why is mom and dad here?"

"They're not going to hurt you anymore. Go. Now!" I say as soon at the first punch is thrown. "5 minutes."

"What?"

"Go!" I exclaim; she takes off sprinting, looking over her shoulder at me. "Please don't watch…"

"What is she worth to YOU?!" Kazuo asks.

"You know d well!" Seifer retorts back.

I start to head backward to watch from a safer distance as my plan unfolds like magic.

As predicted, Seifer throws himself onto Kazuo for a final strike when the final strike is on him with a swift shank to the stomach. I close my eyes to try and not watch the gore. Despite it being my idea, it still doesn't make me happy. But this guy's intentions were begging for this…

He staggers backward as the blade of the knife pulls out and jabs back into his torso. The boy drops to his knees with a groan.

"You still want her?" Kazuo asks as he takes his last breath. He looks up and around.

"Where is she?" he asks me.

"You think I'd let her see you kill the boy she was hoping to be with?"

"Excuse me?" he asks, annoyed, walking up to me, bloody knife wagging in my face.

"Refrain. Refrain…"

"Kazuo…" Dad warns. "If you kill him—"

"Then the throne with most definitely be mine!"

"Kill him, Kazuo," mom ushers. "His life is pointless now. He wouldn't get the throne if he begged."

"What about Kairi?" I ask. "Shouldn't she be free?"

"She is free! Imagine what she could have if she married me!" Kazuo announces. "She could do anything and get away with it. We WILL be the LAW."

"That's a messed up law," I scowl; A swift movement of his knife and quick judgement on my part moves my head out of the way for a flying dagger to pass by my throat into Kazuo's like the matrix. He stumbles to the side to feel the handle of the injected weapon.

"What is this?" he chokes out.

"I guess I just think of everything," I say lowly, closing my eyes again.

He starts to choke, unable to swallow his own blood and falls to the ground, dropping his own knife.

"How dare you!" mother cries. "We loved him!"



"You love everything that is bad," I say, shaking my head as tears pour out my eyes. "You incapable of loving what is good. Your own daughter and son… You're selfish, greedy and power hungry. The road ends here for you."

"What are you babbling on about?" she demands.

A presense becomes very dominant behind me. "Take it, Xakk…" I say, giving the order and turn around, walking off. "It's done…"

The rush of the gang passed my shoulders to the adults tries to coax me to turn around to watch more of the blood and gore, but no… I can't watch the slaughter of the two people responsible for my existance.

Their cries reach my consciouness. Tears continue down my face. "It has to be done…" I tell myself, pulling out my phone.

"911"

"Officer… There's been a gang attack on the beach… As far as I know there's two to four dead already…"

"What's your name?"

"My name's not important. Take care of that gang…"

"What relation do you have for this tip?"

"Ex-gang member. Ex-leader to be exact…"

"Thank you, sir. We're on it!" they exclaim and hang up. Sirens behind me, headed away in the direction of the beach. I flinch. "No more…"

I open the front door to find Kairi and Sora talking. They look up at me from the floor where they're sitting and playing cards. I give them a smile. "We're done. For good. We're okay now."



Author's Note: Well, that's it! I'll wrap it up in the last chapter's epilogue, so I really hope you will give me your thoughts. Please review!
