Ct:Cuz' It's fun!!!

Sora stared inadvertently at the incredible sword that just materialized. "Wow... incredible. Today is getting stranger and stranger... I found this in the cave at the base of the tree." He summoned from his heart a jet black Keyblade, Oblivion. "I dunno much, but I'd say it's something special going on around here."

"Yeah."She said as she picked up her sword she stood back away from Sora and swung it.

Sora stepped away as Lenne started to swing the sword. He held up the Oblivion (how he knew that was what it was called... he didn't know), watching it cast intricate shadows on the ground. Shadows... menacing, they seemed to be a part of whatever was going on, he knew it.

She looked at Sora.Somthing was different.She couldnt tell what.Her cold eyes looking at Sora. Sora looked over at Lenne, flashing a 'Hey, I'm with you' type of smile. She was looking at him coldy, however. Sora was confused. A minute ago, she was kind, yet now, her eyes were full of malice.She kicked at the sand swining the blade.She swung it through the water as the water clung to the blade.Swinging it through the water.Spinning,swishing,It looked like she was dancing.Sora watched Lenne's 'dance' through the water, mystified. He sat down on the pier, shaking off the stupor.She kept spinning and watching Soras every move.But she didnt stop.Green eyes still cold as ever.Sora blinked many times, tearing his eyes away from Lenne's fierce waltz. He summoned the Oblivion back into his heart, and for lack of anything else to do, jumped in the water and began to swim around, cooling down on the hot day.She stoped in mid-step as the blade vanished and she fell into the water.A mark like a heart had appered on her arm where the pain had bein.Her eyes sofened.

Sora waited for Lenne to slow down. "Nice technique," he said when she stopped. "Where did you learn it?"

"I dunno.Just kinda knew it when I found the blade."She said eyes not nearly as cold.They were soft,warm and kind.He black hair was dripping wet.

"Strange..." Sora muttered. The day was getting stranger and stranger, and the air had a heavy, tense feeling to it, as if there was going to be a storm. He sighed and looked up. There was nothing but clear sky stretching out in all directions from the hot noontime sun. Yet... it didn't make sense. Nothing was logical anymore.

"Strange.So many different...."She stoped there."So Sora,who else lives on this island?"She asked.Her smile was intoxicating.

Sora grinned. "That's the thing. No one LIVES on this island, this is where we hang out. The housing complexes are on the other island." He pointed to the larger island farther away. "Tidus, Wakka, Selphie, Riku, Kairi, and I all hang here during the day, though."

She smiled again and her eyes flashed to a blue color."Oh."She said quietly.Again she ran her fingers through her raven black hair.Eyes now a soft amber.

"Yup, the Destiny Islands are interesting, but they've gotten boring. I wanna see more than this little chain of islands. It's awfully boring." He sighed, and lay down on the dock.

"Boring for you Sora because you've been to all the islands."She looked to the sky a silent stream running down her face.She summoned the blood red sword again.

"Well, that's true... but after your 4th time around, it kinda loses a certain flair."

"I guess it would Sora.I dont like this blade.It makes me feel different.I dont know how though.I try to get rid of it,but it comes back.."She said looking at the ground.

"Let me see that sword," Sora said. He got up and summoned the Oblivion. "This keychain here at the bottom of mine seems to change it... lemme get one. I found it in the area at the base of the tree." After a minute, he came back with three keychains, one with a paopu fruit, one with two circles attached to another, and the last with a black feather.

She stood there and droped the blade at her feet."Go ahead grab it."She said coldness was invading her soft eyes.Now her eyes were full of hate and coldness.

Sora initially didn't notice the change in Lenne's tone. He was busy taking off the keychain, where the blade turned to be a dull stick of steel. He pulled out the paopu fruit keychain and attached it, and immediately the blade began to change, the handle becoming an intricate design, the blade becomimg a heart shape, and a pure white light radiating from it. "I knew it! Maybe your sword works the--" his smile faltered with the cold look Lenne was giving him. "W-what's wrong?"

She shook her head."What do you mean?"Her eyes when back to soft amber and she seem to be her usual self." Did somthing happen?"She asked confused.

"I-I really don't know. A minute ago, you were... cold. Full of hatred. I don't know what happened. You're yourself now... but for that one moment..." Sora looked out at the ocean. "But may I see your sword for a moment, please?" He didn't want to cross Lenne again.

"Yea of course."He tone was usual.What had Sora meant?She didnt seem different.Maybe somthing had happened?She didnt know.

Sora took the sword from Lenne. Looking at it, he said, "Aha! Look here. There is a removable part here, like a small gem. I bet if you were to remove it and replace it with a different gem, it would change. Why don't we give it a try?" He looked excited at the progress of the day.

"Uh yea."She said starring at the sky.Lost in thought.What had happened?Cold?Hatetred?But she was never like that.Eye color changing from green to brown to blue and back to green.

Sora looked over at Lenne, his deep blue eyes flashing excitedly. "It's strange, I found some of these gems that would fit this sword perfectly in the same spot I found this Keyblade." He kept babbling on, pulling a clear one out of his pocket. Popping the red one out of its place on the sword, he slid the clear one into the depression. The sword immediately changed, like the Keyblade. It was long and slender, with silver and white color tones. "That seems much better now, huh?" He handed the sword, along with the gems, to Lenne.

She shook her head."Thanks."she said.Toneless emotionless.She was so deep in thought she muttered a soft 'oh' as her eyes changed to Amber.She felt somthing cold on her shoulder.She turned quickly but saw nothing,nobody.

By this time, Sora was genuinely worried. Lenne was detached from everything, while a few minutes ago she had seemed sprightly and lively. She had turned once or twice, as if someone had approached her. "What's wrong, Lenne? Something up?"

"No..."She shook her head."Im fine.I think I am.."She said shaking like she was cold.

Sora didn't know what to do. He didn't want to defy Lenne's 'darker side', but she seemed sick. "Here," he said, "hop in my boat, and I'll take you to the island." There was a nurse who lived not far from him, and he thought she might be able to find out what was wrong.

"Okay Sora."She said geting on the boat.She shook her head and held her arm again.The same spot.

Sora jumped in the boat, and quickly paddled the half mile to the island. He got out, helping Lenne out as well, and dropped by his house. "Mom!" he yelled. "I've got to go get Mrs. Kari! I need to leave my friend here for a minute." With hearing an "okay", he rushed down the street and dragged the draggled nurse to see Lenne. "Something's up," he said, "and neither of us know what." He looked to Lenne, to see if she had anything to add.

She shook her head.Holding her arm again.What was with her arm?She didnt know.It always hurt.

"Well," the nurse said, "we'll have to do something with your arm. It's extremely cold. Tell you what, I'll wrap it up and put some salve on it." She commenced to bustling around Lenne, while Sora flashed an apologetic smile.She looked back to Sora with an its okay smile.She watched as the nurse hussled around.

Mrs. Kari finally backed off, after placing an incredible amount of medicine on Lenne's arm and wrapping it tightly. "There you are. Take it off tonight, around 10, and you'll be much better." She smiled at her, then with a wave and a 'goodbye', showed herself out the door. "Well. Mrs. Kari's still as lively as ever, to say the least," Sora said.

"Yea."She shook her head again and ran her fingers through her hair.Holing her forehead.What is wrong with me?She asked herself.She shook her head again.

"You know, if you want to stay around, you can stay in the guest room here," Sora offered. Lenne could stay until they managed to find a permanent place for her.

"Yea.Thanks."It was coming back she could feel her soft eyes turn cold.She shook her head to try to stop it but it didnt work the coldness came back.

Sora turned to see Lenne shaking her head vigorously. "Are you alright, Lenne? You should go lie down. The guest room is third door down on the left." Concern showing in his eyes, he attempted to stare her down, to get her to go.

She looked at him with her cold eyes."Sora..."She said quietly..like a hush.

"What is it, Lenne?" his voice shook with worry for his new friend. "What's wrong?" he trembled slightly.

She shook her head.The coldness was trying to take over."Sora..."She said again in a quiet tone.She closed her eyes and started to sway.

Sora rushed over to Lenne, catching her as she swayed too far over. He carried her (with a few " darn, she's heavy" along the way) to the guest room, painted a bright blue color, and laid her on the bed.

She kept moaning.The darkness was getting to her.She would repeat Soras name over and over but she said nothing else.

Sora called to his mother to get a wet dishcloth, which he placed over the delirious Lenne's head. Hmm... he thought. maybe... this has something to do with her arm.. He cut the knot on the bandages and carefully unraveled them. Her arm was hot now... and there was a strange mark on it!

Lenne felt the pressure on her arm released.She still only said Soras name as she started to sweat.

Sora gasped. He wiped the medicine away, revealing more of the strange mark. A heart... black, outlined in red... with a strange base. There were jagged lines reaching across it, but faint, as if they weren't totally there.

She let out a little scream of pain."Sora...please.."thats all she could get out.Then she kept repeating his name.

"What? What do I need to do?" He got it then. The strange sword had something to do with it. He placed the Keyblade over Lenne's heart, somehow sure of what he was going to do. Holding it there for a moment, the sword appeared. He took out the gem, and the others out of her pocket, and dashed them all to pieces, then discarded the sword out the window.

"Sora.."she opened her eyes they were red."Sora,it it hurts!Sora make them stop!Sora!"She held her head tightly.Tears streaming out of her eyes.

Sora looked around desparately. He couldn't believe what was happening, and he had no clue what to do. Sora saw the jagged lines on the mark clearing, becoming stronger... he knew it also had something to do with it. He didn't know, however, how he was to get rid of it without harming Lenne as well.

She could talk in sentances."Sora..there hurting me.They wont let me go.There still hurting me.Sora!"She said as she jerked around.Shaking her head.

"What IS it that's hurting, Lenne? Is it your arm? Is it the problem?" Sora looked grimly at the mark. Suddenly, a low growl interrupted his thoughts. Turning, he saw... a shadow, dancing with bright yellow eyes near the door. "Holy--!" leaving Lenne's side, he slashed through it with one swoop.

"No Sora.There different there in my head,hurting me.Darkness is all around....I wont give in..never.Let go!"She said with her eyes closed tightly.She said feeling cold.

Sora turned. "Your head? Well, what am I supposed to do? Bash your head open?" He was aggravated by his inability to help, and turned, gripping the Keyblade. But the keyblade had a mind of its own, and pointed itself to Lenne's heart. "Wha-?" Sora gasped as a light began to gather around the point of the keyblade.
