?XOC all the way!

Kingdom Hearts 2: Vanessa's adventure

Chapter 36: Fight and what?!

It was pitch black, in this place full of nothing, no sky, no ground; just nothing. I looked around; I was with Sora, Donald and Goofy. "Where are we?" I asked and my voice echoed. I blushed and gulped at this. Then I saw this guy in a black coat, holding a white box, he didn't show his face. I growled at this. "Who are you?!" I ran towards him and he disappeared, damn it I was so close!

Donald opened the box and took out a picture. He gave it to me and I looked at it. There were three people, dressed in black coats from the Organisation XIII. They were sitting on top of a tower and it looked like Twilight town. They were eating a blue ice cream similar to the one in the box. "Look, there's Demyx, Axel and…." Sora trailed off and a tear fell down my cheek.

"Xara…." I mumbled.

"How did you know?" Donald asked and I frowned.

"I don't know I feel as if I know what she looks like…" I continued to stare at Xara; she was extremely beautiful, more beautiful than me. I bet Axel was some lucky guy. Xara had long, bright purple curly hair, blue eyes like me and pale skin. She looked happy. Axel wrapped his arm around her waist and Demyx wrapped his arm around her shoulder; I bet they were best friends like Sora, Riku and me.

Donald took a bite of the ice cream and it started to float to the sky. Then my shooting star and mystical moon appeared in my hands. I pointed my keyblades up in the air and it shot a thin ray of light. On the floor appeared the shape of kingdom hearts. The stone turned into a keyhole and recited;

"All the worlds whether distant or near, all the people whether courageous or in fear, our destinies are connected like the day and night or like darkness and light…"

"I need to find you Riku…and I won't give up!"

So we got to the Land of Dragons again, and I decided to use my keyblades to defeat the heartless. We walked through the deserted destroyed village and I looked around. Then, something caught my eye; it was a guy from the Organisation! He looked at me for a minute or so and I was losing my temper. What the flip? What am I, a painting that you just stare at? But I had a gut feeling that it was the same guy who saved me and healed me.

I made a run for it and started to follow him. "Hey, get back here!" I yelled and my friends weren't behind me. I didn't mind, I just continued chasing that guy as fast as I could. He was fast and I was getting tired. I stopped running and panted for like a second to get some valuable oxygen. My friends joined me and Mulan tapped my shoulder and pointed. That guy he was staring again and then started to run. "Oi, I'm not finished with you!" I called out as we chased him again.

We got to a snowy empty area which was very wide. That's where we fought Shan-Yu and the army of heartless. I looked in the distance and the wind howled. That guy, why was he running away? And why was he staring at me? Then there was an army at the top of the slope, "Not this again!" I shouted. My friends rushed to the army of heartless and I turned around, that guy again.

With my shooting star in my hand I pointed it at the guy. "Quit running off and fight me like a man!" I growled and he pointed behind me. I turned and swung my keyblade to a heartless. Then I turned to the guy again and he had a keyblade in his hand. That weapon, the way he stances, it was like…Riku. My eyes widened, no it couldn't be him, and I can't sense him! "Don't stand there and stare at me. Fight me!" I challenged him and he hesitated for a while.

We engaged in battle, and he was really strong. I bet he was stronger than me. With all this heartless around me this was getting even tougher. He gashed my stomach and I ignored the pain as I fought with all my strength.

There were so many heartless and my shooting star appeared and this made things a bit easier, just a bit! I placed both the ends of my keyblades on my chest and closed my eyes. "Let's do this!" I yelled and the sky was darker. I started to fly really fast and hit all the heartless around me. The guy started to look around him and was really confused. When I was finished the sky went back to its original colour and I stepped onto the ground.

He started to run again and I turned to Sora, "Sora, keep on fighting, I'm gonna get that guy." He nodded at me and I started chasing the mysterious guy. We got to this secluded area and he turned to me. "Why do you always stare at me you freak?!" I barked and he shook his head. He was about to run again until I jumped onto him. "No more running!" We started to roll and for some odd reason he held onto me.

We got to the bottom of the slope. I rolled further away from him yet still in range. I wrapped my arms around my stomach and groaned in pain. He got up and started to make his way to me. I didn't want him to touch me that idiot!

Just in time Axel appeared in front of me with his weapons; two chakrams. "You're not touching her." He mumbled murderously and I stared at him. The other guy got his weapon out and they started to fight. I didn't know why they were fighting but I didn't like it at all!

Axel fell to the ground and I crawled up to him whilst gripping onto my stomach. "Axel." My eyes started watering and I didn't know why. I looked up at the guy and glared at him. I felt something cold on my face and looked down. He stared into my eyes and his eyes went really deep. "Are you okay?" I did not ask that, Xara did!

The red haired nobody sat on his knees and didn't break his stare. "You're beautiful…" My eyes widened, he DID NOT just say that! I was frozen and he picked me. "Hey, what are you doing?!" I asked as I tried to get off but he didn't let go.

"Xara…" He mumbled. "…I'm not letting you go again!" I growled at this and tried to get off. I punched, kicked, pinched, even bit, but it didn't work. "Get off me! I'm not Xara, I'm Vanessa!" He stopped and his grip tightened. "Stop it, let me go!" I started to cry and I saw a flash before my eyes. Next thing I knew I was on the ground free. Then I started sobbing, and then that other guy had his arms around me. It's just that, this guy was so…familiar and warm.

I knew Axel went and it was only me and the other guy. He placed his hand on my stomach and started healing me with the darkness; yup it was my 'saviour'. "Why are you doing this?" I asked quietly and he was about to get up and I gripped onto his coat. "Why do you protect me?" I yelled then I didn't see the next thing coming. It seemed that I pulled him too much and he fell…on top of me. I felt really awkward, did that really happen? He had his hands next to my face accidently pinning me down. "Are you Riku's nobody?" I asked a question that I wanted to ask. He froze and stared at me.

Tears started to fall down my cheek and he leaned closer to my cheek. I gulped and couldn't breathe as he started to kiss my tears away. Unknowingly, I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist. Why was I doing this? Had no bloody idea!

"Why are you doing this?" I whispered and he shook his head. If he wasn't giving me any answers then I had to do something that he wouldn't like. I gripped onto his hood and was about to pull it down, but he was one step ahead of me.

He grabbed my wrist firmly yet with care and pinned me down. His left arm pinned my hands behind my head and his right hand made its way to my heart. I knew my cheeks were like frying pans, red and hot. His hand felt so warm against my heart. Deep inside me, I enjoyed this, I felt so calm so free, there wasn't anything to worry about, nothing to worry about.

Then I realised what I was thinking and grinded my teeth together. He had his hand there for too long. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it so he could feel the pain. But he didn't do anything to me, he just stared at me. He leaned closer to my ear and hugged me tighter. "Vanessa…." He whispered and I placed my hands on his strong chest.

I started pushing him away and mumbled. "This is wrong; I'm in love with…" He placed a finger onto my lips and started to stroke my lips with his index finger. "You're so beautiful, more beautiful than last time. You've blossomed into a rose…" He said so quietly that I couldn't hear his real voice just a whisper.

"Please stop!" The tears fell and I looked away. He cupped my cheek and made me look at him.

"If you cry then the whole world would cry with you." That was really romantic, but that voice, it was like…Ansem's? He leaned closer to me and for that moment. My eyes widened wider than plates when I saw those bright orange eyes. Orange…Ansem Seeker of Darkness! This couldn't be happening. Before I could do anything, that guy kissed me. YES KISSED ME! My first kiss, I wanted it to be with Riku, not this freak. I didn't respond, to this kiss neither did I kiss back. I couldn't believe it. He pulled away, whispered something that I didn't even turn my attention to, and left me.

I lied there on the snow staring at the sky and my friends ran up to me. They saw what happened and asked if I was okay. I didn't budge or reply. No, I wasn't okay, I felt sick, disgust, and betrayal. Riku…I didn't want it to happen. I'm sorry, I love you...

She's so oblivious! Poor Vanessa! Please review!
