Kind Of Hearts
Chapter 9 Sora Takes Over

~ We left off with Star facing Riku. Both have the two old keyblades and Riku has regained his power to control the heartless again, but how? A terrible evil has been born somewhere. ~

As Riku swiped down towards Star everything seemed to go in slow motion through star's eyes. Then a flash of light blinked and Star found herself in a cloudy place.

"Star, please don't be afraid." Sora came from the corner.

"You talk?" Star turned around quickly recognizing Sora's voice.

"Duh." Sora joked. "Listen, I'm what some people would call your concession. but more than that. It's hard to explain. Just let it go. Don't think just let it go." Sora vanished, but the dreamland didn't.

Then an enormous pain over rose in her stomach. She bent down and held it hard. The Sora's words echoed, "Let it go," What did he mean! Star rolled on her back and closed her eyes, please be right Sora she thought.

A rush of a weird like floating on air feeling. Star awoken, to see Riku's keyblade stopped above her head by a rose keyblade wielded by Sora.

"Sora!" Riku gasped and drew his sword back and held his breath.

"Long time no see huh?" Sora smirked.

"This is.is.impossible!" Riku backed into his own portal.

"Thanks." Star held her hand out for Sora's.

"Anytime." Sora smiled and gave her his hand.

As soon as their hands clashed a bright light flashed and Sora had disappeared.

~ With Sora ~

Sora was back in that cloud room.

" * Sigh * Seeing Riku.It reminded of.does she exits anymore.that day we were separated.was she killed?" Sora's eyes had tears filling up.

~ With Star Once Again Down in a corn field ~

"Hello?" Ryu shouted.

Cyrus looked down at him, but tamed his anger. "Stupid." He muttered.

"What?" Ryu whispered back.

"Nothing you could every understand." Cyrus snapped.

Ryu turned his chin and jogged up to Dawson, who was following Star. Star carefully moved the corn to fight through it. Star looked around a corner. She saw young Indian women. Her hair was pitched black and reached down to the end of her shoulder blades. On her left arm was a red tattoo mark. Her eyes were a deep blue.

"She must be Pocahontas!" Star whispered.

"Excuse me, please don't run we come in peace." Ryu walked in font off Star.

"She's not an alien you geek!" Cyrus grabbed him back and let Star go ahead.

"Pocahontas, Do you know Daiken?" Star said cautiously.

"Daiken? Has he come back?" Pocahontas said hopefully as she turned to Star.

"Sorry, but we have come looking for something. I think?" Star walked forward.

(OK, I don't remember if I had her lock a keyhole before, but let's pretend she did.)

"You guys must be starving, we are having a feast tonight, would you like to join us?" Pocahontas smiled ever so sweetly.

"Thank you, but no thanks we must get on and look for the ke.the thing we have to look for." Star dragged the boys down the path in the cornfield till they reached a steep waterfall and river drop. "Great just what we needed!"

"What is your problem Star? She just offered us shelter and food!" Ryu protested.

"Yeah, who knows the keyhole could've been in her village!" Dawson exclaimed. "How come we couldn't have given it a chance?" Dawson whined just as a child would with the stomping of the foot too!

"If she found out why we were really here the results would be.not good." Star grabbed her backpack and pulled out a rope from her bag. Then she tied the rope on her arrow and shot it over to a tree and tied the other end on another tree. With a tight grip she waded into the ice piercing water. "Come on." Star shivered.

The guys shrugged and grabbed the rope and followed Star. Star was in the direct middle when star hit a rock and lost her grip. Star immediately went under the water. If someone was going to do something they better hurry because there was only a foot of water between the rope and the fall. Star appeared one last time before going over. Cyrus let go and dove under.

Thought Cyrus. When he reached the end right before the fall he turned to the boys and smiled this evil smile a deadly one. Once out of sight her began to glow and his fall slowed down. Cyrus thought as he saw Star knocked out on a rock, but no cuts or bruises.

~ Back to the other boys ~

Ryu and Dawson had made it across and looked down the fall. The mist hovers over the bottom so they weren't going to see anything, but they tried to listen. Nothing.

"We need someone who knows the place." Ryu muttered.

"But we can't have anyone from this world. If we did, have someone from this world, and they would just know too much." Dawson agreed.

"Daiken!" They both said at the same time and began to head back to the Gummi ship.

~ Now back to Star ~

Cyrus reached the rock and picked Star up. Once he removed her he saw it, the keyhole. He pulled out a dark keyblade and aimed it at the keyhole. It was sealed, for now. thought Cyrus, or is it a different friend or foe?

~ Sorry this chappie is really short, but I like this moment. No previews. I wonder who Cyrus really is. ~
