One Wish : Chapter 18

Me : I don't why but I like to associate people with animals and today , in my boring physical science class , I decided to associate the KH characters , the results might be a little weird but . . . Oh ! well : Sora is a sea- lion ( Why ? I don't know . . . he's just too much like this animal . . .I guess) Riku is a Lion ( Don't you think he looks like one ?) Kairi is a swan ( O.o?) Ansem is an owl ( He has the same face , glowing eyes and he likes darkness , plus he's a scholar and scholar are often associated to owls . . . ) That's about it for the Kingdom Heart's original character but I also associated the OC of my fic , wanna know the result ? if no then . . . just don't read it . . . stupid . . . anyway . . . Daisuke is a puppy ( he's the most innocent character from my point of view) Klov is a jaguar (silent protagonist and cold-hearted when it comes to kill someone , he likes to be alone ) and finally , Lisa is a bear ( she's soft and not very aggressive most of the time but when it comes to defend people she becomes ingenious and/or more violent) that's about it for the moment . . . later on I'll introduce you to more OC so maybe I'll associate them too ( Please don't ask me when this fic is going to end . . .)

Lance : Which animal am I ?

Me : A monkey !!

Lance : That's not original . . . I'm half saiyen . . .

Me : Yeah I know ^-^ !

Lance : *sights*

Me : Okay , let's begin now and by the way . . . I WANT 50 REVIEWS !!!!

**********************************************

Laid in his bed , Klov was looking absently trough his room's window . Summer had already came on the deserted planet of Hollow Bastion and the large walls of the castle weren't enough to stop the heat , the entire inside of the building was beginning to feel like the interior of an oven and the dark colors of the decor weren't helping the unpleasant atmosphere at all . . . Unfortunately , even his deep sadness couldn't distract him from the disagreement .

"Man . . ." The boy mumble to himself has he got up to reach the window "If only those stupid windows could be opened . . . " .

Outside , a few flowers had succeeded to bloom . The sun's ray were so hot that the waterway's water had begun to evaporate . Since its destruction , the planet had never been truly pretty to see but summer helped it to regain a bit of its ancient charm . A small red bird went to perch on the edge of the window to wash his crimson plumage . The mercenary looked downed on the animal and smiled has he pointed a finger in his direction .

"Thunder . . ." On those words , a golden , miniature lightning came out of his finger , crossed the window's glass and brutally hit the bird . Surprised , the animal turned his head right and left and flapped his wings to show his indignity . Klov sighed and stroke the animal and second time , this time , the shot was deadly . The dead bird left of the edge of his perch and his frail body slowly fell into the emptiness . He watched the dead body , dancing like a crimson butterfly caught in the wind , followed by a small thread of fresh blood has he went to sat on the bed . He thought has he unzipped the lower part of his pants to make a pair of shorts with them .

He knew that death was an option for cowards or helpless persons . He never had been an happy person , even when he was a kid , strolling day and nights in the street to find something to eat , the only thing he was able to think of was death . But instead of killing himself , he chose to cure his rotten scar by killing others . . . He managed to survive that way but now . . . now that he had something worst than anything on his mind , eternal rest seemed to be the only option left . On those thoughts , Klov slapped himself in the face . What was he thinking about ? He couldn't let that happened , the only thing suicide would do is to please many of his enemies . And that was the last thing he wanted . . . to make someone happy . All his life people had treat him like a bag of dirt by beating him up , insulting him or sending him about his business . He never had a true friend . . . he couldn't even remember about the time his mother hugged him and told him she loved him . In fact , his mother was the only person who had ever say "I love you" to him . His father has always seemed more distant and he never took time to even caress his son . . . He had wondered why all his life but now he knew why .

He wasn't sure if it was because of the heat if he felt so weird but he couldn't stand it anymore. The boy hid his face in his hands to hide his tears even though nobody was watching him :

"Why am I so worthless ? . . . Why ?"

Indeed , to him , it seemed like a good question . It's hard for someone to have self-confidence when you never receive any compliments from anybody , when everybody despised you . People don't like bad people but have they ever tried to understand them ? Life can be very easy when you have a comfy home , good parents and loyal friends , that's why it's so hard to understand an assassin for them . Of course , some people have the guts to say that there was some people who had a tough life and they turned out helping everybody . But not everybody is that strong . And Klov was weak . Very weak . Psychologically , that is . He was a boy , abandoned by his parents when he was tree years old and adopted and practically raised by some one who didn't even have a heart ! He still remembered the day when , by accident , he blew up a small shop when someone tried to attack him when he noticed that the kid had stole some food . Klov wasn't aware of his powers at that age and the fire ball he cast was purely accidental . At that time , Ansem still was a king and he was the one who had to punish assassins and the people of the town had brought him to the king to ask the man to punish him . He still remembered the words Ansem said that day when he saw the young killer :

"Don't worry . . . I'll take care of him. . ." He remembered the troubled man's face when he pronounced those words , that's what scared and traumatized him . He was six years old at the time . . . still a baby . He began by working in the castle's kitchen , wondering why did the king spared his life . Now he knew , but then . . . he couldn't understand . His child's mind only wanted to be forgotten by the king but this one was always watching him within his every single actions . Like a majestic eagle watches a skinny mouse from the sky . He had always hated Ansem but to him , he had always been a figure of fear and he never had the courage to defy him . Daisuke had once , but paid the price in a painful way . When he turned ten , Hallow Bastion was destroyed by the darkness there wasn't many survivor except Ansem . . . There was him , the serious Leon , the determined Cloud , the gentle Aerith , the energetic Yuffie , the weird Sephiroth and the king's mechanic , Cid . Everybody else was destroyed . Then , Ansem learned about the legend of the princesses of heart and about the keyblade master . . . the one who would open the door to the light . . . And he asked Klov how he'd like to make some munny in an easy way . . .

All those memories . . . not even an happy one . . . no ! that wasn't true , when he was thirteen , he fell in love with a girl called Sarah she came from the same world has Daisuke's . She was , through his eyes , the most beautiful girl he had ever seen , nice and understanding but a very good fighter too . Ansem appreciated her for her fighting skills and he thought that , this girl would be the one who'd kill Sora , unfortunately he was wrong . Sora accidentally killed her . But it wasn't the part he wanted to remember . . . He wanted to think about the time he found enough courage to told her that he loved her . Or the time , on the top of the castle , by moonlight he lost his virginity . . . On those thoughts , he blushed . .

He laid a second on his bed . . . that girl was the one who saved his life . . . it's her love for him that made him alive . He couldn't die , not yet . He had something to accomplish he didn't knew what but he HAD something to do . . .

"I hope you understand what I'm saying here !"

Ansem's voice dragged him away from his deep thoughts . He immediately stood up . To whom was he talking ? Maleficent was outside with Riku and he doubted that the heartless had became crazy enough to talk to himself yet . . . Slowly , Klov opened the door to his room . In the corridors , the air was even more suffocating , he started to walk on tiptoe in the direction of the man's voice . The humidity was penetrating his skin without any pity , he cautiously unbuttoned his blue shirt . To let his torso's skin breath a little . Now where was Ansem ? The boy closed his eyes to locate the his aura . He was in the grand hall . . . with somebody . . . or something else . Klov tiptoed toward the hall and immediately hid behind a pillar . He stretched his neck to look at the interlocutor of white-haired .

Ansem seemed to be affected by the temperature too ; he had tied his hair into a ponytail and was wearing a simple white camisole and a pair of black pants with some kind of sandals . He seemed less majestic that way but he had kept his aura of power . But he wasn't what made the teenager gasped . In front of him was a strange black creature , about the half of Ansem's imposing height , it was floating in the air , listening to the former king's recommendations . He had never seen such a creature before . . . what was it ? He bent toward to have a better sight of it but accidentally slipped and came to land in the water fountain a meter away from the man and the strange creature . When he noticed him , Ansem didn't react as feared he would . The heartless simply lifted a brow and smile while the creature behind stood still like an idiot .

"Klov . . . I know it's hot today but it's not a reason to go swim in my fountain . . . If you want to refresh yourself summon a wind spell or . . . I don't know . . . get naked , but please ! That was my fountain of pure water that could heal any wounds and you've ruined it . . . huh . . . when was the last time you took a shower ?"

Humiliated , Klov moaned as he tried to got up , but slipped and fell in the crystal clear water a second time . Ansem's smile got wider as the creature behind him still was staring at the emptiness in front of him . The man stepped toward the boy and held out his hand . The mercenary mumbled something incomprehensible and accepted the help , still dazzled by the man's sudden good humor . When he finally managed to regain some of his dignity he turned over and pointed the creature :

"What the hell is that ?"

Ansem put a hand on the monster's shoulder :

"It's your lucky day today , lad ! Not many people have the chance to see this creature in their life ! this is THE mystical guardian ! the darkness keeper or the night's defender if you prefer !"

Klov stepped back :

"What do you plan to do with that ?"

"Well , that is not of your business . . . don't you have something to do ?"

The boy slowly shook his head :

"No . . . I wasn't planning to stay here so I . . . don't have anything to do . . ."

"Where would you have went to , anyway ? On each planet , there's somebody who wants to kill you . . . you rather stay at home . . . you can always be useful . . . I guess . . . Now , why don't you go . . . huh . . . practice your magic . . . yeah that's it ! go practice !" On those words , he pushed the boy in the back to make him leave . But Klov turned his head over to reveal his suspicious eyes :

"What's with the good mood anyway ?"

The man blinked his yellow eyes and smiled . He looked so different that way . . .

'' Well . . . who wouldn't be happy when he's about to realize his dream ?"

" Pardon me !?" Klov gasped , of course he knew that now Ansem practically had all the princesses of hearts in his possession but he didn't know that he was so close to his dark goal . . .

"Oh ! you'll see soon enough ! ( he paused to laugh) isn't it great ?"

"Huh . . ." the boy hesitated has he looked over the Heartless' shoulder to check on the guardian , the mindless creature was still looking in front of him without a glimmer of intelligence in his "eyes" , definitely this thing didn't have much of a brain , he was sure about that . . .

"And . . ." hesitated the mercenary , still intimidated by Ansem's smile "What about Riku and Maleficent ?''

His interlocutor frowned , apparently he wasn't expecting the boy to ask that question .

"So ?" Klov insisted , facing the man's perplexity .

"The keyblade master should be able to take care of Maleficent by himself when he'll be here and for Riku . . . I haven't decide yet . . ."

"Are you going to kill him ?"

On those words , the guardian turned over and began to float quickly toward Klovriand who tried to step back , but too late , the creature had already grabbed him by the shirt . The teenager tried to free himself but it seemed useless , the foe's grip was way too powerful for him .

"Hey !" the captive screamed "What's gotten into you ? you son of a . . ."

"I . . . think he doesn't like you" Ansem interrupted to prevent him from swearing " And Klov . . . please watch your language . . ."

The boy angrily glanced at the heartless , ignoring the monster's presence for a moment :

"My name is Klovriand . . ."

***

"We're a bunch of losers , aren't we ?" asked Daisuke , confronting Sora's glance .

The keyblade master shook his head and ran a hand trough his hair : " Maybe . . . but we can't loose hope ! Your friend needs help and mine too ! I won't give up ! never !"

" RPG heroes . . . you're all the same . . . intrepid , you care about you're friends and you never loose your courage . . . it's starting to get too much stereotyped for my taste . . ."

"What do you mean ?" asked Sora .

Dais closed his eyes . He couldn't get mad at Sora , his friend never played with video games , never saw Hollywood movies and never read a shonen manga . This "stereotype" theory didn't mean anything to him . And beside . . . it was good to have a cheerful person in the group to bring hope to the other ones . But it wasn't the right time to think about those kind of things . . .

He went to sat in a corner of their prison . Lisa had been separated from them and now they were heading for Hallow Bastion . he sadly thought . The boy sighted , seeing Ansem was the last thing on earth he wanted to do and on top of that he didn't want the Heartless to touch Lisa in any kind of way . . . but what could he do ? Against the man , Sora was merely strong and he was terribly weak if only Klov . . . speaking of him , where was he now ? he saw him a few hours ago , he looked troubled back then . . . his eyes were reflecting a weird emotion . . . if only he had knew Klovriand for a longer time , maybe then he could have tell what his problem was . . . but he wasn't even sure if the mercenary was considering him as a friend . . .

"We'll be landing on Hallow Bastion in an hour or two !" announced the far away voice of a pirate .

On those words , Daisuke got up on his feet at the same time as Sora . The boys exchanged a glance . Two hours . . . that was how much time was left for them now , before they meet what could be their final destiny . . . two hours . . . was it enough to think of a plan ? Daisuke doubted that . . .

***********************************

Me : Woah ! phew . . . finish for today , I have school tomorrow . ! and I STILL WANT MY 50 REVIEWS GUYS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssse !? * big sad puppy eyes*

Lance : Well . . . that was less aggressive this time . . .

Me : ^-^ Yep ! I'm making progress ! Oh ! by the way ! As you may know , In the game , Ansem is soooooooooooooooooo easy to beat , 'cuz he's so weak ( espacially when you're at level 100 with the ultimate weapon !) so I know that saying that people are scared of his powers can make you laugh . To add more realism to the story , just think that Ansem has to power of 400 Ursulas combined together , Okay ? That way , he looks more powerful , huh ? Anyway . . . have a nice week everybody !!
