Starlet: Okay, there's a fight scene, in which Sora uses an insult which is
pretty low. . . . . . but don't worry,
there's no Slash, Yaoi or Shonen-ai in this. (Guy liking guy) So no
worries!

Chapter 10
"Tidus . . . . . ." Kairi whispered staring at her love's limp form. Love? Where had that come from?
'You love him.' That tiny voice whispered. She stared in shock, how could she love Tidus? Didn't she love Sora?
"Ansem! I swear on my life you're going to pay for this!" Sora yelled. Riku growled.
"Forgetting something buddy? We have to get OUT of these vines first!" Ansem laughed at their argument.
"Children, children calm down." The black haired man coaxed out laughing.
"Stay out of this Ansem!" Both teens yelled.
"You know, you've been a thorn in my side ever since we met!" Sora hissed through gritted teeth looking like he was ready to kill.
"Same to you, right now I really wish we had left you to rot in this god forsaken land!" Riku yelled, fury filling his words. Kairi was appalled.
"Stop that you too! This is not the time to fight!" She said in confusion. Why the heck were they fighting like this?
"Well that's too bad for you isn't it dingbat?" Sora retorted with a sneer.
"Oh you are SO lucky that we're tied up, or I would have sliced you in half with my keyblade!"
"Really? Who'd slash who? C'mon Riku. I know you like me." Sora said with a sick laugh. Riku scowled, hate growing in his eyes. Ansem was finding this very interesting.
"You know, I'm actually interested in finding out which one of you is stronger then the other." He commented, a tiny smile on his face. He smiled and snapped his fingers, the vines dropped the two youths onto their feet. Both summoned their keyblades and stood in fighting stance.
"Sora! Riku! Cut it out!" Kairi yelled. Both ignored her. Riku held his left arm out in front of him slightly relaxed, his right arm above his head was tense and holding his black and red keyblade, his face was impassive. Sora was exactly the same in position however, his face was quiet and smug.
"I hope you have a spare body, you're going to need it!" Sora spat. Riku scowled.
"And you need a spare brain. Too bad though that you never had one in the first place!"
"Ready?" Sora taunted. Riku sneered.
"10?" The silver haired youth asked.
"1." Sora began.
"2" Riku counted next.
"3"
"4"
"5"
"10!" Both yelled at once. They sidestepped and flung themselves . . . . . . . at ANSEM?! In a split second Ansem was frozen in shock, the next he was gone. Vanished off to god knows where. Kairi was free of the plant like tendrils and was gasping on the ground.
"Sorry we had to worry you like that Kairi. It was the only way to get free." Sora said quietly as he helped her stand up. Riku was kneeling beside Tidus's body, face in pain. Sora was staring, his face stern.
"Darn it." He sighed. "Tidus, why didn't you stay on the island? You would have been safe there." Sora hissed.
"He wanted to protect me." Kairi told him. Her face in agony. Riku sighed and turned the blonde haired youth over so that he wasn't face first on the ground anymore. Kairi felt small hot pinpricks beneath her eyes. She walked over and dropped to her knees.
"It's not fair." She hissed. "Why did this have to happen?" She slowly placed a quivering hand on his shoulder and squeezed it lightly. Sora was behind the both of them when he noticed something. In a panicked frenzy he yanked both Kairi and Riku's arms so that both of them tumbled away from Tidus's limp form.
"SORA! What the hell-?!" Riku began but was cut off as Sora pointed at something. Looking in that direction both of them saw a small light speck. It was tiny and hovering a few inches above Tidus's head. The speck dropped and then . . . his forehead shined lightly. A small symbol appeared. None of the three could identify it. The light vanished and Tidus was slowly stirring. Kairi's heart leapt.
"TIDUS?!"
The youth did not reply but instead stood up. Grabbing his sword out of the back of his sheath he was stern faced. Eyes hollow. Sora was in shock.
"Who are you?" The brunette asked lightly. Tidus, or rather, Tidus's body turned to face Sora.
"I'm the protector. I am the spirit that resides in this youth." Tidus replied in a hollow voice. (Cheesy isn't it? Don't worry. It gets better.)
"The what?! Sorry, but you're beginning to sound like a person with z graded movie dialogue." Riku replied angrily. Sora stared. He'd seen too much to be surprised by anything anymore. The spirit, or whatever, shrugged and replied.
"In every person represented on the star, each of them has an inner spirit. It is that spirit that lets you hold the position of what you are." Riku stared frowning. Sora was wide eyed and had an eyebrow raised. Kairi was simply at a lost for words. In short, they were completely confused. The spirit sighed.
"In the 7 princesses, the keyblade wielders and in the protector is a dormant spirit. When Sora received the keyblade the spirit of the keyblade wielder was passed on to him. Riku was given one as well. It wasn't Ansem that blinded Riku at first, it was the spirit, who longed for power." Tidus turned to face Riku.
"If your will is strong enough, the spirit will bow to you." Then he turned to Kairi.
"Your spirit comes to you naturally because of your pure heart. It is very much like a contest, the seven purest hearts held in a woman's body are chosen by the spirit." Then, in the following silence, Tidus looked at his sword. Examining the edge he turned it very often letting light bounce off the edge so that he could see any nicks and scratches in the blade, in doing this he gave the others time to think. Sora finally spoke up.
"So how do we stop Ansem?" Riku looked at him. So did Kairi and Tidus's spirit or whatever. Tidus or something grinned.
"We head to Kingdom Hearts." Sora blanched.
"NO WAY!! THERE IS NO WAY WE'RE GOING THERE!!" Sora yelled. Everyone looked at him. Sora sighed.
"What if someone gets stuck there, like last time?" He asked quietly. Kairi stole a glance at Riku who had become paler then normal. Tidus shrugged.
"That's a chance we have to take." He said calmly. Riku stared.
"First off, what's your name? Calling you Tidus doesn't seem to be right." The spirit looked at Riku's eyes to see what he was thinking. Nothing. Tidus sighed.
"You may call me what you wish. If you seek a name it's Coral." He said calmly and walked off. Sora swore vividly, then stomped off. Riku followed in tow. Kairi stared at the trio. Then sighed and ran off after them.
~~~
"Sora. I ask that you open the key hole." Coral said calmly. Sora walked up. Kairi stared.
"Why can't Riku do it?" She asked out of curiosity. Riku replied
"If the keyhole hasn't been sealed then Sora has to do it. He can seal the world and still open a passage for us in one turn. It's simpler." Coral said calmly. Kairi sighed, so much that she didn't know. It was annoying.
~~~
"Which door?" Kairi asked looking around her. Riku shrugged.
"I don't know, there are over a thousand worlds, how are we supposed to find one?" Riku asked. Sora sighed.
"Oh boy . . . How am I supposed to know?" Riku sighed, and looked around the room. He glared at Coral.
"Don't you know where Ansem went?!" Coral shrugged.
"I have no idea." Riku rolled his eyes.
"A big help you are." He muttered. Kairi didn't comment, she was too busy looking at a mirror in the wall.
"Did that just flicker?" She asked pointing at it. Sora looked to where she was pointing, it was a mirror outlined in a rainbow silver. He sweatdropped.
"Well that's obvious." He muttered, Riku smiled while sweatdropping as well.
"I guess." Kairi walked up, she pocked her fingers through, then drew them out. Her fingers were covered in a glittering silver which dripped off her fingers. It dropped to the ground and formed a silver puddle. She stared at it for a second, then turned to the others, Riku came up next to her and kneeled down next to the puddle staring at it intently.
"What the-?" Suddenly he stopped talking.
"Riku?" Sora asked. Riku stood up and summoned his keyblade. Sora backed up hurriedly, Kairi gaped. Riku turned and smiled, his eyes were a gleaming silver. He lunged at Sora who blocked, but the blow sent him flying back five feet, he almost went through another mirror.
"RIKU!" Kairi yelled. The white haired youth leapt for Sora, sword raised, he would have hit her friend too, if Coral hadn't intervened. He swept in smoothly as butter, when their swords met, a burst of light flared, when it cleared, Riku was on the ground, Coral was holding his sword lazily. He looked at Kairi who gaped.
"The substance you touched was Mythrite." Sora looked at him while standing up.
"Don't you mean Mythril?"
"No, Mythrite is more of a mental substance rather then physical. They can hypnotize a human to do whatever they want."
"They want?! Are you saying they're alive?!" Sora demanded. Coral nodded.
"The oldest ones have interesting personalities." He said with sly grin. Riku interrupted this talk with a swipe of his keyblade. Kairi growled, all her patience gone. She walked up to the white haired boy and . . .
SMACK!!!
She slapped him on the face, he stumbled back and glared.
"OW!! Kairi?! What the hell was that for?!" He demanded. Sora grinned.
"Well it got you back and I shouldn't complain but . . . . . . . . . . OUCH!!" He yelled and laughed. Coral sighed.
"Come along kiddies." He muttered and was about to walk into the mirror when a yelp sounded. Riku, Coral and Kairi spun around. Sora was engulfed by shadows.
"The hell is going on?!" Coral yelled, Kairi glanced at him,
'That's Tidus's favorite line . . . . . .'
"What is this thing?!" Sora yelled, he slashed with his keyblade, nothing. Riku ran up, grabbing Sora's hand he pulled.
"Sora!" The brunette grunted.
"Ansem, damn it! He's trying to kill me!!" Sora yelled out. Riku swore.
"Ya think?!" A small spark flared in the air above Riku, no one saw it. It pelted down, straight at Sora and Riku's joined hands. The spark hit, their hands fell apart.
"Sora!!" Riku got pelted backwards and landed on his rear, Sora however, was plunged into darkness. Coral was staring, his eyes showed shock.
"No . . . ." He slammed his fist on a wall. "DAMNIT!!! Why can't I do anything right?!" Riku stood up slowly. "Why couldn't I protect like I'm supposed to?! DAMNIT!! Damn it all!!" A soft voice laughed through the room.
"Protector, you're far to stressed. I'll relieve you of that." Ansem's voice echoed through the room, in a split second Coral was frozen, then a rippled went through the room, like a fierce wind, then all was still, including Coral who lay face first down on the ground.
