Disclaimer: I really hate that word.
lol, Okay, Ron, you win. I guess I'll update. * sigh //sarcastic -inside joke
You guys are funny, keep reviewing! I might be a little slow in updating these next few days, I am supposed to finish 2 letters to my Japanese pen pals before Christmas break. It's a school thing.
I am writing the alternate version to this story right now, and it will be posted when it's done. I'm in a really good mood, so I think I will write a bunch of chapters instead of doing my homework. Whoot! Final Fantasy! And just to spite all you passionate Ansem haters, me and my friends are creating a ficcy all about him! Nyah! *sticks out tongue, //sarcastic -still inside joke. lol, okay, I'm done for now! Keep reviewing!
And one more thing, I promise to make the alternate version much fluffier, but I can't tell you more than that. It fits in with this one up to one of the chapters, can't remember which, but yeah. It's for you Riku loving fluff people.
I don't really like the way this story is turning out, so I'll make up for it in the alternate version, m'kay? Sorry if the action scenes are crappy, I'm new at writing them! And don't worry, fluff lovers! More fluff yet to come! We still have Christmas evening to deal with! And I'm not done with Squall and Yuffie!

Sora dashed down the alleyway, following the footprints left by Kutsuu and Kyoukou. The messy tracks led him to a metal door of an old abandoned factory. Riku stood behind him, eyeing the factory suspiciously. Sora turned to face him. "It's locked." He stated dangerously. Riku grinned.
Stepping forward and holding the Metal Chocobo in front of him, Riku slammed the tip of it into the door, while casting Graviga into the frozen steel. Sora could only stare in awe, cringing at the sound as the door was ripped from its hinges and thrown in a heap against the opposite wall. They stepped through the opening and gazed around the dim room.
"Finally!" Came Kyoukou's irritating voice. He leapt down from an old rusting piece of machinery, landing a few feet from Sora. "I thought you'd never get here." He whined as he inspected Sora and Riku, sneering disapprovingly.
Sora tightened his grip on the key blade, narrowing his eyes and glaring at the taller boy. "Where's Kairi?" He demanded, his voice little more than a deep growl.
Kyoukou was surprised by his threatening tone, laughing heartily as he walked across the floor brandishing a blood red battleaxe. He twirled his weapon in a few tight circles and turned to face Sora again, "You know, I really thought the key blade master would be taller and more intimidating than you. This'll be easier than I thought!" He scoffed as he took up a fighting stance.
He lunged suddenly at them, planting his axe where Sora had been moments before. He spun around as Riku's foot made contact with his stomach. Kyoukou coughed violently and punched Riku in the side of his face. Sora dodged between the two and slammed his key blade against Kyoukou's skull before back flipping onto a rusty machine. Riku jumped behind Kyoukou and slammed the Metal Chocobo into his knees, causing him to trip. Kyoukou caught Riku in the spine with the side of his battleaxe, sending him tumbling across the floor, momentarily paralyzed from the blow.
Sora lunged at the abductor, who dodged him, feeling more cocky after his earlier slip-up. He grazed the side of Sora's neck with the razor sharp blade of his axe, small trickles of blood marking the wound. He laughed, another slip-up. Sora clamped a hand to the gash on his neck and slammed the key blade between Kyoukou's legs. He screamed in pain and doubled up on the floor, sneering up at his enemy, who smiled sweetly at him. Riku walked shakily over and pointed his dark key blade at Kyoukou's face, "Firaga!" He yelled enthusiastically, shielding his face as his opponent caught fire and was slammed into one of the rusty chunks of machinery. The gears in the machine were still covered in oil, and they burst into flame when Kyoukou slammed into them. The explosion from the oil fire reverberated throughout the factory, dust and debris falling dangerously around the two remaining boys.
"Whoo, that was exciting." Sora laughed, releasing his hands from his ears. "What a freak." Riku grinned at the scorched form lying on the blackened floor. "Yeah, that stupid axe actually hurt." Sora complained, casting curaga on himself and wiping the remaining blood on Riku's coat sleeve.
They laughed together as they made their way toward the twisted metal staircase. Stopping in their tracks a few moments later as a dark shadow appeared in front of them. A tall figure rose out of the floorboards just feet from the staircase, looming eerily over them as Heartless appeared around the room, popping out of the remaining machinery. "What the hell?" Sora breathed as he gazed up at the shadow.
Kutsuu stepped out of the darkness, letting it wrap itself around him before fanning out across the floor. He silently examined the two teenage boys standing recklessly before him. He laughed to himself, Riku first, huh? He thought to himself, screw that, he looks like he'd put up a better fight! He laughed again, aloud this time, pulling the darkness back to him. He stepped toward them casually, smiling as he introduced himself. "I am Kutsuu, how may I help you?" He grinned, daring them to make the first move.
Sora crossed his arms, glaring violently at the new intruder, recognizing him as the one who had hit Kairi. "Where's Kairi?" He growled angrily, sneering back in reply to his rude grin. Kutsuu floated gracefully into the air, crossing his own arms and pouting down at Sora, "She's fine, she's sleeping. Don't wake her!" he said in a mock serious tone, gliding slowly around the two boys. He laughed, enjoying the look of concern and curiosity on their faces.
Sora watched Kutsuu float menacingly around them. He had just been passing the staircase when a glimmer behind him caught Sora's eye. He watched Kutsuu a bit longer, keeping his eyes alert on his opponent, but focusing his other senses at the large window overlooking the factory. As soon as Kutsuu began to close in behind them, Sora made a sudden dash forward, launching himself up the staircase.
Kutsuu was on him in a flash, punching him in the face and throwing him from the staircase. He spiraled toward the rotting wooden floor, crashing through to the foundations when Kutsuu dove after him. He winced in pain as they wrestled around, finally catching Kutsuu in the side of the head with Oblivion and leaping back out of the hole.
Riku stepped forward to help, slicing his enemy's arm as Kutsuu flew out of the gap in the floor, tumbling after Sora. He stood, arm bleeding, watching his adversaries with menacing eyes. The two stood facing him, key blades ready. He laughed deeply as Heartless closed in around them. As the Heartless began attacking, Kutsuu lunged forward, brandishing a long broad sword, he swung at Sora, narrowly missing him when the teenager leaped into the air. Heartless swarmed around Riku, surrounding him in a dark mass. He struck out with the Metal Chocobo, able to destroy handfuls at once, but he knew he was at a big disadvantage. He leaped onto a large ruined packaging machine, swinging his key blade at the Heartless nearby. He caught a glimpse of Sora fighting with Kutsuu across the room, smiling grimly when he realized the predicament they were in.
Sora dashed and dodged around the room, trying not to get hit by the massive sword and dealing rather pathetic blows in return. Kutsuu was too fast to fight on normal terms, even though Sora was the faster of the two. He was not used to opponents that were so fast, however, and he had a hard time dealing any damage at all. Kutsuu leaped into the air again, gliding around the room, Sora cursed silently, people were always faster when they flew. He rolled to avoid the sword again and crouched down on the floor, focusing all his energy into the air. I hope this little trick still works, he thought grimly. Kicking off from the rotting boards, he launched himself into the air, bringing his key blade down against the side of Kutsuu's neck.
The abductor was more than a little surprised, hovering in midair, at eye level with Sora. I didn't know he could fly, he thought astonished, this does even the playing field a bit. He grinned, holding a hand up to his neck. He drew it back, soaked in blood. Floating a bit higher, he looked at Sora and laughed.
Damn, Sora thought, if only we were on the ground, I might have gotten a rather good hit. So much energy had been focused into getting off the ground, that he hadn't had enough left for a critical hit. He followed Kutsuu as he began flying faster around the room, trying to keep his distance, but not letting the older boy out of his sight. They sped up even more as Kutsuu lunged at Sora, cutting into his chest with the broad sword. Sora coughed up blood, but took the opportunity to catch Kutsuu under the chin with the key blade. Both bleeding badly, they fell to the ground, wrestling violently as they crashed into the floor.
Riku watched, horrified at the bloody mess on the floor. Both boys were locked into a desperate struggle, neither able to reach their weapon. Bounding across the room, Riku dove at Kutsuu, trying to defend his best friend. He was slammed roughly against the floor as hordes of Heartless beat him back. He had a bloody nose and called to Sora before the Heartless knocked him into the hole in the floor. His head collided with the cement foundations and he slowly faded into unconsciousness, lying in a puddle of blood.
