A Book Without A Name.....
Chapter 5: Mirai
I decided to change the rating to PG-13 to be safe. There is going to be more blood, and violence in up coming chapter so I figured I would have to raise it sooner or latter.

"Kairi" Yuffie stood wide-eyed in front of the thresh hold. She ran her fingers through her black hair. "Hey, girl is that really you?"
"Yeah, It's me." Kairi sat up.
"You look so different." She moved her head side to side examining Kairi. "You're so grown up."
"Do you--" She was about to ask Yuffie something important, but being the ever talkative girl Yuffie was Kairi got cut off.
"Look what he did! He broke my favorite mirror." She bent over and started to pick up shards of the wood floor. "I'm sorry we woke you up. Leon and me haven't been getting along that well lately."
Kairi decide to try to get through to the raven-haired girl once more. This was important something she needed to know. No! It was something she had to know. Yuffie was going to listen to her. "Umm, Yuf--"
"He broke it! My favorite mirror is in a thousand pieces. I can't believe it." She shook her head, and continued to pick up pieces. "That damn pig headed man!"
"Yuffie!"
Yuffie jerked her head up, and stopped worrying about the mirror. Kairi stared at her with seriousness in her eyes. "Sorry, I guess I was ignoring you. Sometimes that happens when I get mad. I'm really sorry." The girl stared up at Kairi with the saddest frown and eyes she could come up with. "Please forgive me."
"It's all right I forgive you, but there are some things I need to know. Where's Sora? Have you seen him? Do you know where he is? What about Riku do you know anything about him?" Kairi continued to flood Yuffie with questions. Yuffie's eyes bulged, and she shook her head.
"Wow, Kairi slow down. Only one question at a time, okay. I'm real sorry, but I don't know anything about either of your friends. We were hoping you would. I haven't seen Sora in two years. He came to buy a new ship from Cid when we were still living in Hollow Bastion. Riku, Donald, and Goofy were with him. He didn't say a lot to me, but he did say that he was on another important mission. It had something to do with the heartless of course, and that's all I remember."

Kairi sat outside on top of a light orange painted roof. Yuffie had informed her that she was now on a world called Twilight Town. No one not Cid, Leon, or Yuffie knew anything about Sora, Riku, or anything else that was going on. She felt as powerless as ever. How was she supposed to help Sora? Maybe she should have told the others about the dream, but she felt as if she shouldn't. Kairi had a feeling that the dream was something for only her to know about. She let out a huge sigh, and watched the fluffy white clouds move above her head. They made shapes if you used your imagination. Kairi tried to concentrate on them so she wouldn't have to think about anything else. 'Look a bunny with a big cottontail just like the one from Wonderland, and there's a dragon with razor sharp fangs. Maleficent that woman really was a witch. She was the one who tried to get Riku to trust the darkness. It was still my fault though. If I hadn't have lost my heart he wouldn't have listened to that evil women.' Kairi continued to watch. 'There's a keyblade. Sora...'
"Okay this isn't working!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Instead of the clouds she studied the roof, and hoped no one had heard her comment. They might think she was insane of something. She shook her head, and sighed again. There was no way she was going to get these thoughts out of her head. The whole world was silent. It was too quite. She began to wish for some sound. When it was still she always was forced to think of everything she didn't want to think of. She finally did hear a sound, and she wished she hadn't wanted to hear one at all.
A shrill scream that was loud enough for the whole world of Twilight Town to hear rang through Kairi's ears. It had been full of blood chilling terror full of the kind of fear that hunts you all your life. It had been one word heartless. A word that had made people shutter , because of what came to mind whenever heard. Heartless a creature with no heart no soul that terrorized anyone or anything that came in it's path. These creatures still hearts, destroy people's homes, destroy their worlds, and some people's futures. What most common people don't know though is that there is even a greater evil behind the heartless. A darkness that must be stopped at all cost.
Kairi quickly climbed down the roof. This was what she had been waiting for. She had to find the source of the scream. It might lead her in the right direction. Besides she had to help whom ever the heartless were attacking. She just had to. It wasn't a new feeling. She had felt in when her heart was inside of Sora. She thought maybe that was just some of Sora's thoughts and feelings. Kairi could feel what he could feel, could see what he could see, and could hear what he was thinking when her heart was inside him. It wasn't though. It had been her own feeling all along the need to protect.
She ran faster than she had ever in her entire life. Tall buildings and town people raced past her eyes. Kairi stopped for a moment to catch her breath. 'Where did it come from?' She watched as some people started to run out of a certain alleyway. 'There, It must be there.' Kairi headed toward it. When she got to the end she wasn't prepared for what she saw.
A boy's body had been ripped apart. Blood was dripping through the cracks of square rocks that made up street. His heart had been wrenched from his body. Pieces of him lie all over the street. She had too muffle the small cry she felt coming from the back of her throat. It made her absolutely sick. She had never seen a heart stealing so bad before. It could only mean one thing the creatures were getting stronger. A simple shadow heartless stood over the largest part left of his body, and two more were cornering a little girl. Kairi would not let what happened to the boy happen again. She had no weapon, but she would fight with everything she had.
Kairi leapt at the two heartless whose claws were out stretched to kill. She hit one away with her arm and managed to kick the other foul creature away from the young girl. "Run!" She yelled to her. The girl was too paralyzed with fear to listen to a word Kairi said. "Run now!" The other heartless now aware of Kairi left the body of the boy behind. The three attacked like a pack of wolves. They showed no mercy. Kairi shielded the girl from their attacks. Their claws ripped through Kairi's flesh. She could feel blood flowing freely down one of her arms and her back. She hit them away. When they were momentarily stunned Kairi picked the girl up and started to dash away. The girl was safe for now in Kairi's arms. They followed. The heartless wanted both girls' hearts.
The beasts were faster than her. 'Their speed must have increased with their power.' Kairi had to do something. Maybe she could hide the girl, and then lead the heartless away. They were going to catch up to her any second now. Kairi looked around for somewhere to go anywhere. One of the town's people had left a door to somewhere open. She ran for the door. Kairi barley made it, slamming the door on the horrid creatures. The weight of the small girl became too great for her so she sat her down gently on the wood floor. "Are you all right?" She nodded her head not saying a word.
"What's your name?" The girl remained silent. Kairi could tell that the ordeal had taken a toll on the small child. The girl rapped her arms around her self, and stared at the ground.
"My name's Mirai."
"That's a pretty name." Kairi forced herself to lightly smile. She had to cheer Mirai up. Mirai hung her head even lower. Her blonde hair fell into her eyes. Kairi placed her hand on her shoulder. "You're going to be okay. I promise."
Mirai nodded. "But my brother isn't is he?" Kairi began to pat the girl's back. That boy that she had been unable to save must have been Mirai's brother.
"Mirai, I'm sorry, his body was ripped apart." She paused unsure of how to explain to a five-year-old that her brother was gone. Should she even tell her he was gone? Kairi decided it was best to tell the truth. "I don't think that his heart can be returned to his body. I've never seen heartless do that before. I'm afraid that your brother is gone." The girl cried. She reminded Kairi of someone. Mirai reminded Kairi of herself. Kairi realized that they had no time to sit around when she heard a noise coming from outside.
It was a light scratching sound coming from behind the door. 'No! Their still after us.' The heartless weren't going to give up so easily. The room was dark, but she could still see two curtained windows, and a table. "Mirai," She looked at the small girl who had tears streaking down her rosy cheeks. "Your going to have to dry your tears for now." Mirai sniffled a couple times, and nodded.
"Good!" Kairi told her "You see that table over there? Crawl under it, and stay there until I tell you to move."

I picked Mirai for the name of the girl, becuase it's one of my favorite Japanese names. It means future. I love Japanese names. I have a whole list of them so I can use them in all the stories I write. If any one ever needs a japanese name just ask. I know about 30 or 40 of them. Oh yeah if anyone wants me too I can email you each time I update just leave your email address on your review or you can email it to me. (It won't let me type my email. You can find it on my profile though.) Thanks for the reviews everyone without them I don't think I'd write.
Lute-loo - Thanks for reviewing again! I'm glad you didn't find any mistakes! Maybe it means I'm starting to get better at spell and grammar checking. I hope so I used to be so horrible at it! I'm going to try to update once a week at least so far I've been able to.
Jon Williams - I'm glad you like it! I hope you like this chapter too.
