6H:Aw, are you still crying because Tifa is dead?

Anaretsu: I'm still partying!

6H:Anaretsu! That's not nice!

Anaretsu: Since when have I been nice?

6H:Okay, never. Here's the next part of my story.


Kingdom Hearts-Shattered Fragments

Fragment 36-Yuna's Long Rhapsody! Battle with halfdemon Kana!


Cedeile flew out of the book as it burst open. She landed hard on the ground, and the book slammed shut. She stood up, facing the book before her, as if it were her enemy.

"Holy PURIFICATION!" she yelled. The cross of light burned into the book until it turned white and then dissovled. Cedeile watched in silence as the book dissintgrated into nothing, and a single tear made it's way down her face. 'Tifa...thank you for everything.' she thought. Kana flew down from the top of the mountain and gasped at the flecks of light flying into the air.

"Oh, it's that heartblade master! How did she escape?" Kana asked, shocked. Cedeile ran over to ther other huge book and burned the cross of light into it. The book was forced open and Yuna, Ryu, and Aru flew out and onto the ground.

"Are you guys okay?" Cedeile asked.

"Yeah. We all made it." Aru said, standing up and checking on the others.

"What book were you in?"

"'The Guide of Man Eating Monsters and How They Kill Their Prey.'" Ryu said, standing up slowly and rubbing the back of his head. He looked worn out.

"Alot of battles, huh?" Cedeile asked.

"More than I could count." he replied with an annoyed glare.

"Cedeile...wasn't Tifa with you?" Yuna asked. Cedeile turned to the young girl. Her different colored eyes looked up at her with worry. Cedeile looked down at the ground.

"I'm afraid Tifa didn't make it. She sacrificed herself so I could go through the portal." she said sadly. They all fell to a sorrowful silence at the news. Yuna sniffed, trying to keep herself from crying.

"That's Tifa...she was a good guardian..."Yuna said sadly. Their mourning was interupted as Kana came into view.

"You damn children! How did you break free of my trap!" Kana demanded. Cedeile stepped forward.

"Nothing will prevent us from defeating you!" She shouted. She sent a small wave of purifing light towards the demon, but Kana just smacked it away.

"You will never make it out of here alive!" she shouted. She flew down at them and extended her ruby red nails. She flew through their group and then soared up in the air, turning around to face them. A few seconds later, blood burst out of random cuts on Cedeile, Ryu and Aru. Yuna was, luckly, unharmed. Kana licked the red liquid off her claws. "Oh, your blood tastes sweet, heartblade master." she snickered. Cedeile growled at her, but Ryu but his arm in front of her, holding her back.

"Ryu..."

"Hold on a minute." he murmered. Kana floated above them for a few more moments until she came down for another assult. In a slipt second, Ryu drew out his sword and blocked her. Kana pushed at him, nails dangerously licking his neck. He held her back with his sword, and then threw her off. She tumbled back in the air a few feet, but regained her balance and soared forward while he charged. Claw and blade met in a loud, echoing clang. Aru and Cedeile protected Yuna while the fragment hunter and the demon fought. Ryu, although able to hold off Kana, deffienitly seemed to have the disadvantage. He gritted his teeth as he tried to hold her off, but soon she pushed through, jaming her nails into his chest. He gasped as the three girls looked on in horror. The scene froze for a few moments. Kana lovingly stroked his face with her fingertips.

"My, my, you were a defient little one, weren't you. But it's all over now." she said seductively. She suddenly pulled out her claws and Ryu yelled in pain. He fell forward, leaning on his sword to keep him standing. Blood driped down from the holes in the right side of his chest. Kana looked down at him, smirking. He gasped for breath, holding his hand over the wounds to try and stop the blood. His fingers turned red, and he felt his strength leaving him.

"Oh god..."Cedeile muttered. But she dare not move-at all costs, Yuna had to be protected. Cedeile could figure out that Yuna was the main target here. She was the last book master, and if she was out of the picture, then that was the end of Book City.

"Cedeile, let's try to double team her." Aru whispered.

"Alright." Cedeile took out her heartblade, and the two charged forward at the same time. Cedeile let lose a flying blade of purification and Aru casted a fire arc spell. Kana dodged them easily and came down on them with a darkness attack. The both recieved heavy damage. Aru knelt down on the ground.

"AQUA PILLAR!" she yelled, casting the spell. The blue twister zoomed at the demon, but Kana fly right throught it without damage and hovered above Aru, ready to swipe at the magician.

"Take this Kana!" Cedeile yelled and tackled into her. "Get Yuna out of here, Aru!" Cedeile yelled as Kana threw her off. Cedeile rolled across the ground and balanced herself again. She drew the light cross in the air in front of her. "HOLY PURIFICATION!" the cross flew at Kana and burned into the demon's flesh. She yelled in pain for a moment, but then the cross flickered out. She smirked at Cedeile.

"Nice try, heartblade master, but I won't fall so easily. " Kana said. Cedeile looked at Kana in shock. The burn marks from the attack were still there, but Kana had hardly recieved the damage Cedeile thought she would. She stood her ground as Kana slowly walked towards her. The demon stood above her, her wings outstreched and eclipsing the moonlight. "Are you ready to die like your friend?"

"Hardly, bastard!" Cedeile smirked cockily as She jumped up and flipped over Kana as the demon struck the wall of books where Cedeile had once been. Cedeile landed and ran towards Book Mountain, where Yuna and Aru had already headed. Kana glared at the retreating figure.

"The fools. They're heading straight for my keep."


Aru and Yuna kept running up the hill as fast as they could. They didn't dare look over their shoulders, for fear of seeing Kana following them.

"Has Kana always been here?"

"Yes, for a few years now. The power of the Book Masters kept her in check, but now that she has the power of the heartless on her side...not to mention all the evil demons backing her up...for if she took over Book City, the demons would have their own world."

"So she's not just working for the heartless?" Aru asked, pushing her glasses farther up on her nose.

"Yes, that's true. Near the top is an old library that used to belong to High Book Master, before she took it over. It's Kana's sanctuary now."

"Then why are we running toward it now?" Aru asked.

"Because...we'll able to trap her there! I have a plan..." They ran further up the mountain until they saw the building loom into vision. The path led up to a wide stone stairway with elegant railings all carved out of grey marble. They paused, looking up at it as far as they could see.

"Yuna, what is your plan?" Aru asked, slightly confused.

"I will use a spell Ilearned from my master before he died. It's a powerful spell that draws all evil into a void of darkness. I have to create that void with evil auras, and where better than a demon keep?"

"I've never heard of such a spell in my studies. What is it called?"

"Dark Revolution Rhapsody." she replied, and began to travel up the stairs. "Aru, I'll need you to cover me while I create the void. It takes alot of time and alot of magic, and I cannot be disturbed while creating it."

"I'll do the best I can!" Aru said, following her up. They climbed the long stairway to where it wided out more to form a huge area in front of the front doors. The building was a foreboding, shadowy, black color with stone carvings on the outside. It looked as though once it had not been such a sinister place, but now it reeked of demon. The stone railings up here were chipped and cumbling. Yuna walked to the edge of the balcony as it overlooked Book City. She sat down on the edge where the railings had broken away and held up her huge staff. She began to call upon the evil energy of her surroundings. Aru stood next to her, watching her work her magic. Suddenly, flying snake-like heartless appeared and began trying to attack Yuna. Aru knocked them off one by one, but they still came. "Yuna, how much more time?"

"Keep going, Aru. The void hasn't been finished..."

"Have they been sent by Kana?"

"No! They are drawn to the darkness and the evil energy of the new void..."Yuna replied, straining under the stress and imense power she gathered. Aru threw a few of her fire arcs at some heartless as the came towards her. They fell away from the mountain as their bodies burned to ash, fluttering away to nothingness. The others of the flying assult did not heed the demise of their brethren, and keep coming.

"Yuna! I don't think I can hold on much longer! I running out of MP!"

"Please Aru! Just few more moments and the void will be complete!" Aru cast and Aero spell around Yuna and waited for the flying heartless to attack. She breathed heavily.

'Where could Cedeile be? Is she still fighting Kana? I don't know how long my aero spell will last, but I have to hold on until the spell is complete...' Aru thought franticly.


Cedeile ran up the steep and narrow path carved into the mountain, at the time she dodged Kana's vicious attacks. She had already failed to avoid a few, and her body strained to move. Kana dove into the mountain again, and Cedeile just narrowly missed getting hit. She flipped over twice in the air and landed back on the mountain path, running as fast as her body willed.

'Come on, damn it! Aru and Yuna are in danger here. The sooner I can kill Kana, the better!' she thought in her head while her eyes dashed around from left to right, trying to anticipate Kana's next point of attack. Unfourtunatly, she guessed wrong and got caught in the blast of darkness Kana sent at her. She fell to her knees while the attack endured, the dark energy around her hitting her HP meter hard. She gasped for breath in the darkness around her, and Kana laughed at her misery. Cedeile glared at her as the attack faded out and slowly stood up again.

"My my! How determined. This mountain shall be your grave, I am certain of that! You made a grave mistake coming up here." Kana said as she hovered in the air above Cedeile. The heartblade master glared at Kana with her dark emerald eyes.

"You are some bastard, Kana, you know that? One hell of a bastard. I won't let you go for what you did to Tifa!" Cedeile declared.

"It's not my fault she's not here, is it?" Kana said innocently.

"Don't give me crap! You trapped us in that damn book!"

"Yes, that is true...but Tifa didn't have to stay behind, did she?" Kana asked. Cedeile stayed silent. "No, Tifa stayed behind because of you. It's really inevitable-people will always be hurt by the heartblade master and the keyblade master. They have a duty to protect them because they are the saviours of the universe, correct? So people will get killed just because of you."

"No! Sora and I will save everyone from the heartless! We don't cause people to die-you do!" Cedeile yelled at her, angry.

"Tisk, tisk, tisk. How naive of you. People will continue to die, just because you exist. It's because the heartless lust for blood. They are the force used against you and the keyblade master to bring your fall so that darkness may overtake everything and push back the light for good." Cedeile looked at the demon, eyes wide. Kana smirked at her evily, eyes alit with pleasure."In the end, the two of you will not stop the darkness-you will only aid in it's victory. Because, your hearts may be pure...but they are weak. It is your weapons that give you power-but without them you are nothing. Eventually, this fact will stop your powers from increasing."

"Shut up."

"And also, what good are you? You may purify the heartless and return the hearts to the people they were taken from, but what is stopping the heartless from taking their hearts again? What a useless power. At some point in time, it won't be enough to purify the darkness-because what will it become after you purify it? You can't change the darkness-however you can change light. Light can easily fall to darkness with little effort. It is what makes the light weak. It is what will bring your fall. You and the keyblade master will fall to hell and everything will be cast into darkness."

"I said SHUT UP, BASTARD! HOLY PURIFICATION!" Cedeile yelled,sending the attack at Kana.

"Not this again. I'm not one of these heartless. I am a demon. If you purify me, what good will it do? What will I become?" She deflected the attack away with ease. Cedeile stared wide eyed.

"But...how did you...?"

"I told you, it will do no good. I cannot revert to anything because I have been nothing but a half-demon. I haven't changed into anything."

"Wait! You're half-demon?" Kana glared at her.

"Yes. It's a curse I must bear everyday-that my father was a stupid human. That idiotic man became High Book Master and left my demon mother for a human wrencth. And that bastard Yuna is his pride because she'll be the next High Book Master..." she growled.

"Wait! Yuna's granfather is your father?" Cedeile asked in surprise and confusion.

"Hard to believe, isn't it? Why else do you think I would have such a lust for his blood that I would waste my time killing him and taking over the keep on Book Mountain? Vengence, of course, for leaving me like this- a cursed half-demon despised by everyone. Neither race wants me- the humans fear me too much, and the demons are disgusted by me."

"But they took you in!"

"Yes, but only to serve my purpose of taking over Book City. Once that is done, I am expendable. Nabuki has made that very clear." Kana glared down at Cedeile. "As much as I pity you humans, I can't help but feel envious. You belong somewhere, and are surrounded by people like you. There is no one like me." She extened her nails again. "That is why is proper for you to die..." She decended down on the mountain, and Cedeile was too injured to move.


Up at the keep, The aero spell began to wear off, and Aru was down to three MP, and was outnumbered by 5 million and one. Suddenly, Yuna's eyes snapped open and the glow around her subsided. In her hands was a glowing sphere of darkness.

"It's done..."


6H: HA HA HA! Cliff hanger! I haven't written a good one in a long time, so I decided to throw one in. Talk about a plot twist! So Yuna and Kana are sort of related...weird huh?

Anaretsu: Not as weird as Riku wearing a dress.

Riku: It's NOT a dress, for the last time!

6H: He's right...

Riku: Thank you!

6H: It might be more of a skirt.

Anaretsu: Yeah, you know it kind of looks like one...

6H:While we debate this matter, please review.

Riku: It's not a skirt, either!

Anaretsu: Make up your mind already!
