The Darkness Within
Chapter 11: Ready. Set. Battle!


"I'm amazed at you kid!" Phil shouted from the stands, "You've gotten a lot better, that's for sure."

"Thanks Phil!" Sora shouted back with a smile, but just as soon as he turned his back to the man a confused expression crossed his features. He didn't understand how he knew all of those move, or how they flowed out of him like it was natural. Was he that good before he lost his memory? Maybe having the Keyblade sparked something inside of him.

"Come on Kid, lets go see if Herc is done," Phil called out as he hopped down the stands. Sora started to follow the man out but Donald grabbed his wrist, stopping him.

"Are you okay, Sora?"

"I'm just a little confused," Sora admitted, "I didn't know I could do all of that. I mean, heck, I didn't even know I was flexible enough to do a back flip, and yet I landed one perfectly." Both the duck and the dog smiled at him.

"You'll get used to it Sora," Donald quaked before he left.

"Goofy?" Sora asked as he looked over at his friend, "Could I do all this before I lost my memory?"

"Yep, that and more," Goofy answered, "Just wait until you start doing you magic again."

"Magic? I know magic?" Sora asked as he followed Goofy out of the arena. Goofy smiled back at Sora and gave him a nod of his head along with an "ahuck".

"What kind of magic?" Sora asked out of curiosity, "Could I pull rabbits out of a hat." Goofy only laughed at him.

"No Sora," Goofy chuckled, "Fightin' magic."

"What's fighting magic like?"

"Fireballs, small blizzards, lighting... those kinds of things."

"Really?" Sora asked, now excited that he could shoot fireballs around.

"Yep."

"Can you show me?"

"Donald does the magic stuff, not me. Sorry Sora."

"What in Zeus's name is going on?" Phil cried. Sora and Goofy gave each other a questioning glance before they bolted for the lobby. When they didn't find Phil there they ran the coliseum gates.

"Herc! What are you doing?" Phil shouted as he watched his hero and a man battle, breaking anything in their path.

"Don't look at me," Hercules spat as he blocked the man's kantana with his sword, "He just started attacking me."

"Who is that?" Sora asked absently as he stared in awe at the battle.

"That's the man that made it to the finals," Phil stated, "He's the one who almost beat Herc."

"What are you doing here?" Hercules asked as he held off the man's attack.

"I'm here for your heart."

"My what?" Hercules asked in shock as he lost his footing and fell to the ground. Right when the man was about to stab Hercules in the chest, Sora's Keyblade came flying out at the two. The man cursed as his large kantana was sent flying out of his hands, while the Keyblade returned to Sora's hands.

"This fight doesn't involve you brat!" the man growled as he glared at Sora from behind his sunglasses, "Get out of here before I have to take you down as well!"

"I'm not leaving!" Sora shouted as he walked down into the open area.

"Damn it kid! Go!" He yelled, "I don't want to hurt you! I'm only here for the Hero."

"Not if I have anything to do with it," Sora growled as he stepped forward. Just as Sora took that step the ground began to rumble.

"What was that?" Donald asked, only for the ground to rumble again.

"Something's coming," Hercules breathed as he stood, "Something big."

"Damn, Hades," the man cursed as he backed up to his fallen kantana.

"Hades?" Hercules growled just before an enormous dragon like head rose above the stone walls.

Its yellow eyes focused on the hero as it began to climb over the wall. It landed shortly afterwards with a ground shaking thud, knocking down Goofy, Donald, and Phil easily. The monster's mouth opened to revile many sharp long jagged teeth as it hissed angrily at the group. A long fork like tongue seemed to dart out of its mouth as it sniffed the air like a snake would.

"It's a Hydra!" Phil shouted as he backed up to the blue doors of the lobby.


"Okay, we're now ready for the last two teams of the day to come out to the arena," Koto, the announcer fox girl, shouted over the loud speakers, "I need Team Kuroi and Team Strife to come to the arena immediately."

"That's us! That's us!" Jetta shouted as she grabbed the first person she could get her hands on, which happened to be poor Neron, and drug him all the way down the stands.

"Jetta!" Riku shouted as he chased after her, followed quickly by Max. Bringing up the rear was the less enthusiastic Cloud as he descended the stands at his own pace.

"I'm rooting for you Cloud!" Aerith called out from her seat in the stands. Cloud glanced back over his shoulder and gave the woman a small smile before he continued down the steps.

"Good luck!" Botan shouted.

"Okay, as our two teams make their way to the arena, keep in mind that the leaders have to choose how the rounds are going to go," Koto explained, "You my go one on one, two on two, or if you just don't want to wait you can have the whole team fight at once. It doesn't matter to me."

"Hey!" Jetta shouted as she grabbed Neron by the back of his jacket, "Where do you think you're going?"

"To talk with the leader," Neron growled, "Now let me go!"

"I thought we went over this yesterday," Jetta mumbled, "You're not the leader!"

"Well, neither are you so let me go!"

"Maybe I'm just having a stupid thought here, but since our team name is Cloud's last name shouldn't he be the leader," Max suggested.

"Sounds good to me," Riku stated.

"Same here," Jetta agreed.

"But..." Neron started to complain, but decided it wasn't worth it, "...Okay."

"Come on! I don't have all day!" The leader of Team Kuroi shouted, growing impatient with them. Cloud shot a hateful glare at the man before he effortlessly hopped onto the arena.

"How about a two on two battle?" Cloud asked, getting strait to the point, "Should there be a tie the last round, a one on one battle, can decide the winners."

"Sounds good to me, but on one condition," The man said as he eyed Cloud with his red eyes, "The final battle will be between us."

"Fare enough," Cloud said before both leaders turned and walked back to their respectable sides.

"Okay folks! The leaders have decided for it to be a two on two battle with the last round being a battle between the leaders!" Koto announced, "Now, lets get this battle started!"

"So who's going first?" Max asked, glancing around at the others.

"I wanna go first," Jetta proclaimed as she climbed up onto the arena.

"Count me out then," Neron said before he waved them away and took a seat in the grass next to Cloud.

"I'll go," Riku muttered as he hopped up onto the arena.

Both Jetta and Riku watched as their competitors jumped up onto the arena. One was a strange looking woman with bright pink hair and deep purple eyes. She wore heavy eye shadow and dressed in light looking black armor. Following her was a man with long black hair, red tipped bangs, and with his light blue eyes he held a disgusted look at the two. Bat like wings stuck out on top of his head, as two skinny lizard like tail lashed around behind him.

"Fighting for Team Strife we have Riku and Jetta," Koto shouted, "While fighting for Team Kuroi we have Zilla and Kado. Remember that if you are knocked out of the arena you have ten seconds to get back in before you are disqualified from the battle. Now, let the battle begin!"

"I call the red-head," Zilla clamed, only receiving a humph from the man before he charged at Riku.

Jetta immediately jumped out of his way while Riku quickly unsheathed his sword, charging at Kado as well. The two met seconds later with Riku swinging his sword rapidly at the strange man. Riku growled as each and every one of his attacks missed; no matter how fast he swung or what direction he attacked from. He got even more steamed as Kado smiled at him, apparently amused at his attempts at attacking him. Kado eventually grew tiered of this and grabbed the sword by the blade with his middle and index fingers.

"You'll have to be quicker than that, boy," Kado spat, smirking at Riku's horror stricken face before he snatched the weapon out of his grasp.

In the blink of an eye Kado lashed out with the sword, startling Riku. He backed away from the smirking man and raised a hand up to his check. Through his black glove he could feel the moist touch of his blood seeping through the fabric. His aqua-blue eyes narrowed at the man as he positioned himself in a fighting stance with his fists balled up and ready to strike.

"You amuse me, boy," Kado chuckled before he charged at Riku once again.

Zilla smiled wickedly at Jetta as the two swapped punches, matching blow for blow. Each punch the two clashed with Jetta would winch in pain from hitting the metal gloves that incased her hands. Though Zilla didn't show it, she was in as much pain as Jetta was. The metal glove did serve for well protection for her knuckles, but they were perfect conductors for Jetta's fiery punches. Each hit that clashed would cause Zilla's hands to burn from the metal. Zilla's smile widened when she found an opening, hitting Jetta square in the gut. Jetta gasped from the sudden pain as she was sent fly through the air a couple of feet before she skidded to a stop on the concrete arena.

The woman charged at Jetta at a fast speed, jumping high into the air above Jetta to come slamming down on her moments later. Jetta clenched her teeth as she ignored the pain and rolled out of the way before the heels to Zilla's boots came slamming into her chest. Jetta stared in amazement at the hole Zilla had made in the arena; glad she was able to dodge such an attack. A serious look crossed Jetta's face before she sprang back into action, propping herself up on her hands as she swung out with her legs, kicking Zilla in the back of her knees. Zilla instantly went crashing to the ground, banging her head against the arena floor with a painful sounding thud.

"What a brutal attack!" Koto commented, "I could hear Zilla's skull coming in contact with the ground all the way over here, and what a lovely sound it made." Zilla growled as her purple eyes shot open, glaring at Jetta. The woman hissed silently when she realized Jetta was trying to interfere with her team mate's battle, and she wasn't about to let her do that.

"Your battle is with me!" Zilla shouted as she flipped up from the ground and kicked Jetta's hand, sending the small fireball flying off into the crowd. Jetta immediately pointed her other hand at the woman and fired off several more, but she dodged them all.

Riku grunted in pain as his sword sliced his skin yet again, this time on the back of his hand, tarring his glove. Kado continued to grin at Riku as he swung the sword around with ease, nicking Riku on each arm, but still Riku continued to advance on the man. Finally, Riku managed to turn the tables on Kado. While dodging a strait on thrust, aimed for his chest, he did a back handspring, avoiding the attack while kicking his sword out of the man's hands. Once landing back on his feet he took a few steps back to catch his falling sword. Now that his weapon was once again in his possession he charged at Kado, catching him off guard and thrusting the blade into his right shoulder.

"Oh, It's great being down here with all the action," Koto announced with a smile, "For those of you up high in the stands you really missed a beautiful spray of blood from that attack."

Kado's surprised expression turned back into a sinister smile as he backed up from the teen, pulling the blade out of his shoulder on his own. Riku sneered at the man as he started another assault, but still he avoided them all like before. Taking a different approach, Riku jumped up in the air, planning to strike from above. He wasn't surprised when he easily stepped out of the way, letting Riku land with his sword penetrating the concrete area. In one quick motion Riku propelled himself off the handle, slamming his feet in the man's chest. Kado grunted as the air got knocked out of his lungs, but still he smiled.

"You have many surprises, boy," Kado commented as he grabbed onto Riku ankles, "But so do I."

Riku's eyes widened as he started to swing him around in the air like a rag doll, but, to his surprise, Kado never actually let him hit the ground fully. Instead, he got Riku close enough to where his arm or his shoulder would scrap the ground, causing a layer or two of skin to rip off of his body. The man was merely toying with Riku. Once Kado was through with his fun he tossed Riku out of the arena, causing him to land roughly in the grass. Kado smiled as he pulled the sword from the concrete and hurled it at him. Riku gasped when the blade of his sword pierced the ground only centimeters from his head.

"Riku has been thrown out of the ring folks," Koto announced, "He now has ten seconds to get back in. One!"

Jetta and Zilla were once again swapping punches, this time more fierce then the last. Both even started to use their feet, or any other body part that was available; Jetta managing to get in a few hits in this way. Suddenly, Jetta was hit in her side, causing her guard to fall as she stumbled to catch her balance. Zilla took this chance to kick her in the stomach and face a few times before she kneed her in the gut. Jetta hit the ground with a thump and held her stomach in pain as she coughed a few times to catch her breath.

"Damn it Kado, this is my battle!" Zilla hissed as she shoved the man away.

"But my challenger is out of the arena," Kado whined.

"W-what?" Jetta muttered as she looked around the arena, and sure enough Riku wasn't there.

"Five! Six!" Koto counted as she watched Riku lift himself from the ground, taking his sword with him. "Seven! Eight! Nine! Oh and with one second to spar Riku is back in the game."

"Just let me handle the girl, okay!" Zilla shouted before she turned her gaze back to Jetta, who was just now getting up from the ground. Just as Zilla was about to kick Jetta again, Riku came running in slashing through Zilla's black armor. Zilla let out a quick shout from the pain as blood started to drip from the punctured armor.

"You little brat!" She hissed just before a ball of fire came soaring at the open gash. Zilla screamed as the fire entered her armor and burned her newly open wound.

Kado ran back into the battle, punching Riku a few times in the face before he spun around, letting his two tails grab onto Riku's ankles. Riku let out a shout from surprise as his feet were pulled out from under him. After Riku feel to the ground, Kado hoisted him up in the air and slammed him to the ground again. Just as he was lifting Riku up another time, one of Jetta's fireballs came whizzing through the air, blasting through Kado's two tails. Riku dropped to the ground on his hands and knees as Kado screamed in pain from the loss of both his tail's tips.

"Jetta look out!" Riku shouted as he glanced over at his teammate.

Jetta screamed as Zilla's metal fist collided with her jaw, knocking her to the ground instantly. Riku looked back at Kado, making sure he wasn't about to attack him, but he was gone. Jetta's screaming brought his attention back over to her fight, only to find the missing Kado with his foot stepping on her head. A growl escaped Riku's lips as he bolted up from the ground and charged at the man, cutting a deep gash in the back of his leg. Kado's evil smile disappeared as he turned his gaze at the boy. Zilla came running in about that time, punching Riku in the face. He stumbled a bit but came back and returned the hit.

"It looks like this battle has turned into a battle royal, rather than just two separate battles," Koto announced, "This is great! Just look at the carnage!"

Now Riku was being pummeled from both team members, each getting a hit in one after another. He managed to stand his ground for a second or two, but once his sword was knocked out of his hands he was caught off guard and never managed to regain his defense since. Jetta rose from the ground and ran over to the group, shooting off fireballs at Kado, while placing her other fire lit hand on Zilla's armor. Both backed away from Riku and glared at the girl. Kado picked up Riku's fallen sword and charged at her, cutting several deep gashes in her arms, since she wasn't quick enough to dodge him. As Jetta backed away from the man with his on coming attacks, she bumped into a smirking Zilla.

"You're a little nuisance. Did you know that?" Zilla smiled wickedly at the girl as she grabbed hold of her upper arms, "The games stop here." Jetta struggled to get out of the menacing woman's grasp, but she couldn't escape.

Zilla laughed as she started to spin around, picking up speed with every step. Riku could only watch as Zilla jumped up, high in the air, still spinning but now at and angle as she let go of Jetta. Jetta screamed as she was tossed high up into the blue sky. The woman landed as she smiled evilly at Riku.

"...Jetta," Neron muttered as he stood from the ground and stared at the sky with a hopeless expression on his face.

"Oh man!" Koto shouted as she looked up at the sky, "In a twist of events Jetta has been hurled into the sky above, and folks what goes up must come down. It looks like there's no hope for Jetta, unless she knows how to fly."

"...No... Jetta..." Riku whispered as he sat back on his knees, eyes locked on the sky, "She'll make it, I know she will."

"Positive thinking isn't going to help the girl land safely," Zilla commented as she and Kado towered over him.

"It's not going to help the world of pain we're about to put you in either," Kado added with a sinister smirk on his face, "Humans don't belong in the dark tournament, and we're about to show you why."

"I'd like to see you try!" Riku shouted as he pounced at the two, pure rage gleaming in his eyes.


"Damn Hades," the man growled as he picked his kantana up from the ground, "I'll show him I don't need his help." Immediately the man switched his attack from Hercules to the Hydra. He griped the handle of his kantana with both hands as he swung fiercely at the beast. The Hydra's head went flying to the ground; landing with a thump shortly after it's body had dropped, lifeless, to the ground.

"Well..." Sora started as he stared in amazement, "That ended rather fast."

"Oh Zeus save us," Phil grumbled as he slapped his forehead, "Are you nuts?"

"Excuse me?" The man asked rather harsh as he turned to face the goat man.

"I'm guessing you've never faced a Hydra before?" Hercules asked.

"No, dose it really matter?"

"Yes, it matters!" Phil shouted, "You never cut off a Hydra's head. Never!"

"Why?" Sora asked, "It looks dead to me."

"Not anymore!" Donald shouted as he pointed at the monster's body rising from the ground. Sora gasped as he backed away and watched as it's severed neck started to bubble. After a moment of this odd behavior three, not one, heads sprang out form the one neck, each screeching horribly at the man.

"Okay," Sora mutter in horror as he backed away even further, "So this Hydra isn't that easy to beat."

"Let me offer some advice," Phil said, "No more head slicing! For one head you cut you get three more. With that said, good luck." Phil then turned and ran back into the lobby, locking the door behind him.

"You're spared for now hero," The man spat before he charged at the Hydra. He wasn't about to let this Hydra thing help him, that's for sure.

"A killer protecting its pray... you definitely don't see that every day," Sora commented as he readied his Keyblade, "Lets go..." Donald and Goofy gave the boy a head nod before the followed him into battle.

Donald stopped his charge and raised his wand high in the air. The tip started to spark with electricity as he waved it around, shouting the word "thundaga" as loud as he could. Sora watched as the clouds darkened over the beast, stopping in his place as the clouds began to spark. Many bolts of lighting shot down from the clouds, and not a one missed its target.

"So that's fighting magic," Sora muttered in awe, watching the clouds vanish before he started to attack the monster's short legs.

The man glared hatefully at the beast from behind his sunglasses as he stood atop the Hydra's back. He growled and cursed under his breath as he repeatedly stabbed the beast in the back with his kantana. The Hydra screeched from pain, but was to occupied at the moment by the others that attacked at its legs to remove the man from its back. Eventually, one head turned and snapped at the man, knocking him from its back.

"Everyone move!" The man shouted as he charged at the beast.

Goofy and Sora barely had time to move before the man ran in between them and the Hydra, kantana drawn and slicing off the Hydra's front and back legs on the right side. The monster screeched as it began to fall, but the man was ready for it. He held his kantana above his head to catch the monster, and once it hand penetrated the monster's chest far enough he jumped up in the air, finishing his blow.

Sora, along with everyone else, stood in awe as the monster screeched one last time before it dropped to the ground. The gashes pored out crimson blood, creating a pool around the Hydra. Sora, looking sick to his stomach, backed away from the approaching blood pool as he watched a blue, glowing heart float out of its chest. The man walked up to the Hydra and snatched the heart out of midair before it had the time to vanish, confusing the others. He stared at the heart for a moment or two before he started to leave.

"Where are you going?" Hercules asked, "Didn't you want my heart?"

"Do you really want me to take it that bad?"

"No!" Hercules spat, "I was just wonder why you're taking the Hydra's instead of mine?"

"None of your business," The man spat before he walked up to the door to leave the coliseum, "I'll be back for yours next, hero, don't you worry about that."

"Hold on!" Hercules shouted as he sheathed his sword and took a few wary steps towards the man, "I'd like to know my pursuers name before you go." The man turned to Hercules, his kantana resting on his shoulder, while his other hand held the glowing heart.

"...Auron..." He answered before he left, closing the door behind him.

"What are you doing?" Panic asked as he hurriedly followed Auron.

"You do know you have the wrong heart, don't you," Pain asked, pointing out the obvious.

"Got a problem with it?" Auron spat.

"Well... you're kinda supposed to get Hercules's heart," Panic stated.

"You don't think I know that?" He growled, glaring at Hades' minions.

"Y-yes, I'm sure you do but..." Panic fiddled with his tail as he trailed off.

"What are you going to do with it?" Pain asked, finishing Panic's sentence.

"Think of it as a present for your... master," Auron said as he shot a smirk at the minions, scaring them quite a bit as they walked along behind him. Never had they seen the man smile before, and now they knew why.


"What's the deal Hades?" Auron shouted as he charged into the room in a full rampage.

"Auron, you're back so soon?" Hades asked calmly.

"I can handle the hero on my own!" Auron growled, "I don't need help from your stupid mindless beasts!" Auron took the heart he had in his hand and through it angrily at him. Hades glared at the man as the Hydra's heart hit his chest and dropped into his lap.

"I'm sorry, I just thought you might need some assistance."

"Well, you thought wrong!"

"This heart isn't Hercules's," Hades said as he examined the heart. The flame on his head turned red as he glared at Auron, "This is my Hydra's heart. Were you trying to fool me with this?"

"No, I had a feeling you'd recognize your own monster so I just brought it to you as a present."

"Did you do this?"

"Do you think that hero and a boy would have defeated it so fast?"

"Why you..." Hades stood from his chair as he growled at him the flame rising on his head, but something else caught his interest, "Wait, a boy?"

"Yeah, some little punk kid who tried to stop me-"

"What'd he look like?"

"...Brown wild hair, had this odd looking weapon shaped like a key-"

"Was there anybody else with him?"

"Yeah, a talking duck and dog-"

"Its that brat!" Hades yelled as a red flame rising high in the air.

"You know the boy?"

"That brat spoiled my plans last time he came around," Hades growled, "Next time you see him, kill the boy as well."

"What's in it for me?"

"How about more power?" Hades suggested, "Ruler of a section of the world? You name it, you get it."

"Feh, whatever," Auron mumbled as he started to leave, "I don't see why this little boy is such a nuisance to you. He looks harmless to me." Auron turned to smile at the lord of the underworld.

"What are you smiling at?" Hades snapped.

"It just amuses me that the lord of the underworld can't deal with a little kid on his own."

"Get out!" Hades shouted, only receiving a small chuckle from the man as he left.

"Pain! Panic!"

"Yes my lord," Both minions answer as they ran into the room.

"We're going to need some more recruits," Hades started, running a hand through the blue flame on his head, "Send my new little helper to have a word with Nessus. I think he'd be of good use."

"Yes sir!" Both said before they ran out of the room.


Riku: Hello everybody, I'm back! You can stop worrying now. I only left to get another friend cause apparently Squaresoft just doesn't give a shit about me, or Sora. So I'd like everyone to give a warm welcome to Kairi!

Kairi: Um... hi. ((Sora's gets a huge goofy grin on his face as he waves to Kairi))

Author: Should have known he'd get someone else. ((Sighs)) Hi Kairi.

Random person: But I thought you didn't own Kingdom Hearts?

Author: Stupid random person, get out of here! Go attack the random person Sora! Go, go, ... go... Sora? ((Looks back to find Sora with a stupid grin on his face as he sits next to Kairi)) Go get the person Riku!

Riku: You've GOT to be joking?

Author: See if I ever do you any favors then. ((Grabs her useless paper-back dictionary and chases the random person away))

Riku: ...Well, I guess since Demon's gone and Sora's um... ((Looks back at Sora)) not with us mentally, that means I get to do the notes. ((Grins))

Kairi: Actually, it says here on this little sheet of paper that conveniently fell out of Demon's pocket, when Demon cannot fulfill her duties of thanking the wonderful reviewers, and Sora is some how not able then it's up to anyone else left in the room besides Riku. ((Riku frowns)) If only Riku is in the room then it's up my Neopet stuff animal Shoyru, since Riku is still forbidden from the notes. ((Kairi presses Shoyru's paw))

Shoyru: Hi, I'm a Shoyru!

Kairi: Cute! ((Starts to hug the purple dragon)) So according to the note it's my job now. ((Smiles)) Hi reviewers! It's nice to know you're reading this story. ((Looks over at Riku)) Am I supposed to read these notes that are paper-clipped to this?

Riku: Yeah. ((Glares at Shoyru angrily))

Kairi: Okay then. ((Looks at the notes and then back at Riku)) What did the paper mean when it said you were forbidden from the notes?

Riku: Oh... I'm just… not aloud to read them.

Sora: ((Cough)) Liar! ((Cough))

Riku: ((Glares at Sora as he wakes him with a pillow)) Hey... no wonder Demon likes to do this so much. ((Sora cowers behind Kairi))

Kairi: That's not very nice, Riku! ((Glares at Riku))

Riku: But Demon does it to me!

Kairi: Probably cause you deserved it. ((Mumbles before she starts to read the notes))

Riku: O.O ((Drops the pillow from shock))

Zanisha's note: You really think I've done a great job? ((Blushes)) I'm touched. Thank you so much! You're such a wonderful reviewer. I'm so glad you're enjoying this. It makes me so happy. ((Bounces around the room)) Thank you so much for all your kind words. It touches me, really it does. It's just great to know I'm doing so well. Thanks again!

animefreak321654's note: I'm super glad you liked the last chapter, and I'm also glad you like Yu Yu Hakusho. It's one of my favs too, the again, that's why I put it in this story. ((Grins)) It's great being an author. Big thanks for reviewing!

Rurouni Saiyan's note: Thanks for the extra pillows. I plan on using these babies later. ((Grins evilly)) Yeah I like Cloud, he's super cool, so I decided to put him in... after I remembered the tournament only lets teams of five in. ((Laughs sheepishly)) Glad I remembered that important detail. ((Grins)) So when do you plan on updating your stories? Huh? When? LOL, you know I'm only joking, right? But seriously, you need to update. If I have to wait any longer I'm sure I'll die or something close to it… like a comma or some rare virus... You don't want that to happen now, do you? ((Gives Rurouni Saiyan a questioning look)) As always, thanks for the review! ((Grins))

MagRowan's note: Man do I fell like a complete dork for missing too and our. I normally catch those. Stupid me. ((Slaps forehead repeatedly)) It sucks that you don't have summer vacation any more. ((Pouts)) I love my summer vacations. It's the only thing I look forward to after the winter break. ((Grins)) I'd like to get a job so I could earn some money, but I'm not old enough yet. Curse my summer birthday. ((Mumbles)) Then again I don't really want to work cause I'm sure the only place that would higher me would be McDonald's. ((Cowers in a corner)) That clown scars me. Anyway thanks for the help with my horrible spelling, and thanks for reviewing! ((Grins))

Sora: You did so much better than me Kairi.

Kairi: Thanks Sora. ((Kairi smiles sweetly at Sora and he faints)) Uh... Sora? Right, well c ya later reviewers.
