War on My World
Chapter 15: Hold Me Days: For the Worlds
"Let them go! Right now!" Chihiro yelled, a now very distinguished and intense red color appearing around her. In the background, all of Chihiro's crew, every single one of them, were in these glass tubes filled with some kind of green liquid. Some of them, including JetSilphymon and Haku(in dragon form) were chained up. The tubes were so numerous they were all along the back wall.
"I don't think so. How about this: if you defeat me without the help of your sister, I'll let them all go. Is that a fair deal?" Xemnas asked, laughing evilly.
"No! You'll let them go right now or else you'll be so sorry you won't be able to feel anything else!" Chihiro shouted. Leona blinked. She had never seen Chihiro's 'mad side' before. (Remember, she was unconscious for, like, six chapters) Xemnas laughed.
"Is that so? Well, if you can prove then I'll let them go." He said, making the lasers disappear. He would make them reappear if things got rough. But Chihiro wasn't fighting with any weapons, so he assumed it was fair if he fought without weapons too.
"Bad decision!" Chihiro yelled, rushing forth with blinding speed. An explosion occurred where Chihiro's fist connected with Xemnas' jaw. There was a starburst of color from the impact, like Xemnas' jaw was acting like a prism and Chihiro's fist was the white light.
Leona ran over to the people who were in the tubes and such. She looked around to see where the protruding wires from the tubes lead to. This caused her to run around a bunch of them, to find out that there was more to this room, and the very back was more like a cave than a back wall. The cave was still dim to Leona's eyes even though the light was on fully.
"There's got to be something in here to let them all out of those tubey-things." Leona mused to herself, being careful not to step on the millions of wires, which proved to be a very tedious task. She stopped her a moment, being about half-way through the cave, and peered into the darkness. "Ugh! I can't see ANYTHING! Am I like, turning color-blind or something?" Leona asked herself.
Meanwhile, Chihiro saw her do this action. She then looked at Xemnas, who didn't notice her sister had gone to find the source of the tubes. 'Alright, I'll keep him occupied, that's what I'll do! Leona, good luck in saving our friends!' Chihiro thought. Xemnas was trying to locate his now dislocated jaw, and it made revolting snapping noises every time he got close.
However, Chihiro was paying attention to other things. As soon as she saw Leona slip into a little crevice between the tubes, she wasted no time in rushing towards Xemnas again, her aura now a less intense, but still a luminescent red.
This time, she aimed her fist towards the side of his jaw that was out of place. With the dynamics of an atomic explosion, she smashed her replication of an anvil at Xemnas once more. However, a laser quickly appeared in front of the path her fist was to follow, but she just smashed through that, and her fist and the laser pulverized Xemnas' jaw with such impact that it flew him against the a wall. The wall cracked and a support beam behind it crumbled under impact.
"LEONA! HURRY UP!" Chihiro shouted. Her eyes didn't assay anything that might've took the appearance of a support beam, so she was worried that the castle would buckle and resort in calamity. But Chihiro wasn't being very positive with those thoughts. She didn't want to have adversity befall them, so I guess it was only instinct to soothe the ideas of cataclysm.
"Alright, alright, alright! I'll hurry!" Leona shouted back. She ran to the back of the cave, not caring if she stepped on the wires now, when before she taken such care to avoid a mishap such as that. Suddenly, the top of the cave began to collapse. Just when she saw a machine that might be the answer! She acted with celerity, and just ran to the machine.
"Ok, thing! Release my friends!" Leona shouted as she pounded on the machine. It made a fizzing noise, then it droned. A rock hit her shoulder. "Agh! Hurrrrry up!" She said, and kicked the machine with such force that she dented it. Then she saw what she wanted to see: the wires started to send little electrical sparks to the tubes, and the liquid drained out of them as the tubed opened, letting the people who had once inhabited them fall to the floor.
"'Kay, Chihiro! Now let's go for it!" Leona said, and Chihiro heard her as the people fell to the floor. In the next chronological events, everything happened in pandemonium.Leona got out of the cave. She and her sister had then wished they had teleporting powers like Carmaine, so they had decided it was best to wake him up first.
After all of their attempts lead to failure, Chihiro then grabbed a rock and hurled it at her older brother's head. Carmaine woke up in a split second. He looked around, really dazed and confused. He sat himself up, and blinked a couple of time before composing himself enough to speak.
"How'd I get here? I remember beating Charlotte, and then...I'm here the next thing. What'd going on, Chi and Lee?" Carmaine asked. Chihiro pointed to their allies.
"Car, you've got to get us out of here! Make it snappy, too!" Chihiro said. Carmaine scanned the room, and spotted Xemnas, who was now dead to the world, though not exactly dead. On the half-way line, in the Twilight Zone you could perceive it as. Let's just say he was catching up with his beauty sleeps, shall we?
"We should kill him while we have the chance!" Carmaine said, jumping to his feet like a vigorous antelope, and unsheathed one of his rapiers faster than you could blink.
"Car! Are you CRAZY? We've got to get our friends out of here!" Leona shouted, using the nickname Chihiro invented. Carmaine hesitated, but nodded.
"I'll teleport everyone out. I'll stay." He said. Chihiro and Leona both protested with reasons that didn't make sense, but they wanted him to come with them. But, he finalized his decision with a shake of his head. "I'll track you guys. You still have my communicator? Give it here and I'll give you a call when I need to be picked-up." Carmaine said, Chihiro throwing the communicator at him.
Chihiro, Leona, and the rest got teleported out of the castle just in time for it to go into no more...most likely taking Carmaine and Xemnas with it. However, the first thing they realized was that they were no longer in Heart's Rhapsody. They were in a house, seemingly, and in a room obviously. Their unconscious teammates littered the floors. Most of them were coming around, however. Suddenly, a girl with brown hair opened the door followed by a orange-haired boy.
"Hi! My name's Tohru. Can I ask why you guys are in our house?" Tohru, the bubbly brown-haired girl asked. Chihiro blinked at the girl's friendliness. She had never really met anyone very outward and open like her.
"I'm Chihiro." Chihiro then proceeded to introduce everyone, using the digimons' real names because they were still in their digital forms.
-
"Nice to meet all of you! This is Kyo-san." Tohru said, smiling brightly as she did a hand gesture towards Kyo, like an imitation of Wheel of Fortune or something of that subject. Kyo grumbled something that didn't seem to reach the company's ears. It might've been better that way, too, however they would never find out if it was the latter.
"Nice to meet you, Kyo." Said Leona, offering a smile with her greeting. However, it was rejected by Kyo, as it was obvious the way he scowled. "Er...sorry if I offended, you, MR.Kyo! I didn't know you liked to be called 'Mr.Kyo', are you married?" Leona chirped. The members of Chihiro's crew who were awake smacked their foreheads repeatedly until they heard an answer from the obviously raging(and ticked-off) Kyo.
"Yeah, and just who would I be married to?" Kyo asked. Suddenly, a girl tackled Kyo.
"KYO-KUN! IT'S BEEN SOOOOOO LONG, KYO-KUN! I've missed you! Why didn't you call?" Asked a black-haired girl.
"That's Kagura-chan." Tohru introduced, smiling a bit as a sweatdrop appeared on her face.
"Kagura, get off of me. You've been gone for three minutes, just to 'get some fresh air', and you're asking me WHY I didn't CALL? Because you were OUTSIDE MY HOUSE, that's WHY!" Kyo yelled. Kagura glared at him, and punched him in the face and sent him flying through the wall. In another sudden moment, someone else came to the room.
"Actually, Kyo, this is my hou-Oh, visitors! Friends of yours, Tohru-chan?" Said the new-comer, looking at Kagura and Kyo and shaking his head.
"Oh, that's Shigure-san, the owner of this home." Tohru said, then turned to him and said, "Well, yes, I guess they're my friends, Shigure-san. When I came home they were up in my room! Isn't that a little strange?" Shigure sweatdropped.
"More than a little, Tohru. Well, anyways, glad to meet your acquaintance! Could you tell Tohru why you're here as I try to stop Kagura from killing Kyo?" Shigure said, and with that, left. Now of Chihiro's comrades were awake, although some of them were in the dazed-and-confused state, like they had been just popped into the real world.
So, Chihiro began telling their story, not missing out on any detail, and if she did, her teammates let her know of her mistake.
-
"I want to go. I'll be away from Kagura and I'll get a lot stronger so I'll finally be able to beat Yuki!" Kyo said with a triumphant voice, trying to get Kagura off him. Chihiro nodded.
"Anyone else?" Chihiro asked. Tohru shook her head.
"I want to stay here. After all, I owe the Sohma family a lot and I don't think I could do anything about saving the galaxy!" Tohru said, smiling awkwardly. Kagura jumped up.
"I want to go if Kyo-kun is going!" She said. Kyo turned around and glared at her.
"Well, if Kagura's going, then I'll pass." Kyo said. Kagura sighed and looked down at the floor in defeat. She had to give him up sometime.
"Kyo-kun, promise you'll call! And don't cheat on me, ok?" Kagura said, wrapping her arms around Kyo's neck.
"Whatever, Kagura, just GET OFF ME!" Kyo yelled, getting Kagura off of him. The said girl started to cry.
"Y-You don't love me, Kyo-kun?" Kagura asked, weeping a river. If Kyo had glared at the girl any longer, it might've made a record.
"What was your first clue?" He yelled angrily. Everyone watched the little spat between Kagura and Kyo, stifling a few giggles here and there. Kagura stomped her foot, which made the floorboards a bit loose.
"Kyo, I HATE you! I hope you go and NEVER come back!" She said, smacking him once and then stomping away angrily.
"Let's go before she changed her mind!" Kyo said. Chihiro and Leona nodded, and held hands.
Where should we go, now? I think we've gone everywhere we could have gone.
'How about an island with pirates and stuff?'
Didn't we already do pirates?
'I don't think so...well, let's go in that world again! Besides, I'm sure there's lots of worlds with pirates!'
Well...if you say so, sis, I'm all for it! With that decision, they opened a portal that was orange and blue. Then they looked around, and surprised that the portal was right in front of them.
"Let's go!" Chihiro said. Everyone went in the portal, and Tohru, Kagura, and Shigure left the room. Only Larxene, Demyx, Zoey(who had detransformed) and Koji.(who had also detransformed)
"Zoey, you coming?" Koji asked. Zoey shrugged, then said she didn't know where she was going to go in a very meek voice. If you had to know anything about Zoey's character, it was that she was not very quiet, but not obnoxious or loud-mouthed either.
"Larxene, you coming?" Zoey asked, hope shining in her eyes. Larxene sighed, and ran a hand through her hair.
"I don't think so. I'm sorry, Zoey. Demyx and I can't betray Gray and Maleficent. They'd kill us first." Larxene said hesitantly. Demyx nodded.
"But...Larxene, we're like sisters! We can't fight against each other! Larxene, come with us!" Zoey said, and looked to Koji for support, who nodded. Larxene sighed once more, this time a sad sigh, as if it had traveled through the depths of the darkest oceans and heard the saddest melodies.
"We'll fight you and Koji right now, then. It won't be so painful." Larxene said. Kunais appeared in her hands, and Demyx's sitar appeared. Zoey looked at Koji, who had already transformed into Beowulfmon.
"I...I can't fight. I'm sorry, Koji...I'm such a coward. I can't fight them..." Zoey said, falling to her knees in her in defeat. As the three began to fight, she started to cry and buried her face in her hands. She couldn't watch. She didn't want to see Larxene or Koji dying. But, she knew that she would have to...and it would be all her fault that one of the two people she loved most would be on the floor, dead. And she hadn't done anything about it.
-
"HOLY KAMI! DEAD PEOPLE!" Shouted a straw-hatted kid.
"Excuse me? We're not dead!" Leona shouted. They were all in the water, some of them struggling to keep afloat. "Would you get us out of the water, please?" Leona asked. The straw-hatted kid nodded.
"Hey Zooorrrroooo! There's some people overboard!" He yelled. A snore was the reply, and the kid turned around and ran to the other side of the boat, where they couldn't see him.
"Great! We're gonna drown here!" Chihiro said sarcastically. Everyone glared at her.
"Yeah, maybe us, but the last time I remembered, your boyfriend was a water spirit." Leona said. She and everyone else were treading water. Chihiro was just floating. Haku had turned into his dragon form to help keep her afloat, and to keep Al from drowning. (He sunk straight to the bottom, and Haku had his hands full keeping the hydrophobic Chihiro and a metallic Al from drowning)
"Well, I don't want you guys to drown here! I've already said good-bye to my older brother, and he isn't coming back!" Chihiro yelled. She hadn't been that upset in Kyo's world because she wanted to make a good impression on their potential allies. Then, on the thought of allies, she looked around. "Hey...where's...where's Zoey, and Koji?" She asked. Everyone looked around.
"I don't know where they are. Maybe they're back in Kyo's world?" Asked Tommy, the former white bear-digimon.
"It could be. But...what about Larxene and Demyx?" Asked Kite. Chihiro was about to reply, but a tangerine-haired girl, the straw-hatted kid, a green-haired swordsman, a blue-haired girl, a blonde, and a long-nosed black-haired kid. The long-nosed kid pointed at them.
"See, Sanji! That used to be my pirate crew on Syrup Island!" He said, addressing the blonde with a curly eyebrow.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Oh, look at the pretty ladies!" Sanji said, an eye turning to a heart. The straw-hatted kid let down a rope.
"There you go!" He said, smiling like an idiot.
"Luffy, what are you doing? What if they're all in the marines?" Said the green-haired swordsman. People started to climb the ladder, Al was first and Chihiro was second. Everyone else followed suit.
"Marimo head, you worry too much." Sanji said, taking a puff out of his cigarette. As soon as Chihiro got on deck Sanji kneeled down on one knee and took a rose from nowhere and offered it to her. "To the lovely lady." Chihiro giggled, and took the rose.
However, Haku came up out of the water, in dragon form and blew a flame at Sanji. Sanji fell over, grasping his side where the flames had hit.
"S-Sorry...didn't know you were taken..."Sanji said, passing out. No one payed attention to him, besides Luffy, who was poking him and asking the blue-haired girl who was sitting beside Luffy if Sanji was dead.
"Hey, Vivi, is Sanji dead? He isn't moving!" Luffy said. Vivi, the blue-haired girl, looked at him skeptically.
"Luffy, I don't think he's dead. Knocking him over the head with something hard should do the trick. That's what we do in Arabasta, anyways." Vivi said. Luffy nodded, and stretched his arm back.
"Gomu Gomu Pistol!" He shouted, his fist connecting with the side of Sanji's head. Sanji made no movement. Luffy looked at Vivi. Vivi just shrugged.
"I guess he's asleep." Vivi said. Luffy nodded, and walked over to Chihiro and company. Haku was still glaring daggers at the unconscious Sanji.
"I'm Luffy, King of the Pirates! That's Vivi, the Princess of Arabasta, Nami our Navigator, Zoro the Swordsman, Ussop the Liar, and Sanji the Cook!" Luffy said, pointing to everyone. The long-nosed kid glared at Luffy.
"Luffy, you're not King of the Pirates! And I'm not a liar!" Ussop exclaimed, crossing his arms and glancing away. The Pirate Crew stared at him.
"Luffy may not be the King of the Pirates, but Ussop, I have NO idea where you got that you weren't a liar." Zoro said, crossing his arms. Nami rested her hand on his arm closest to her.
"I agree with Zoro." Nami said. Zoro looked away. But Vivi was on that side, and she smiled. She saw Zoro's blush, and wondered if she should say anything about it. She knew the two crewmates lovvvvved each other. But, then again, she thought there was a lot of love on this ship. Vivi glanced at Luffy, and a small smile crept on her lips. Zoro noticed that, and he wasn't the type to let something like that down. Well, he was, but he didn't want to, anyway. Especially with guests here!
"Luffy and Vivi, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Zoro sang. Nami smiled, and she sang along with the currently immature swordsman.
"First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage!" They finished. Luffy stared at them, then scratched his head. He didn't notice Vivi's red face.
"You guys are getting married? Congratulations, Nami and Zoro! Nami, you don't look fat! I thought pregnant people got fat!" Luffy said. Nami walked over to Luffy and smacked him in the face so hard his neck looked like a screw. Chihiro and the gang gasped.
"How's he doing that? Doesn't it hurt?" Chihiro asked, looking up at Vivi, since she was the one closest to them. Well, Chihiro noticed how Vivi was red, so she wanted to say something to get her mind off of it. After all, most girls were USUALLY kinda shy about admitting that they love a guy, so Chihiro didn't want to embarrass her.
"You mean, you don't know? Luffy's the most wanted pirate in the East Blue! How can you NOT know he's made of rubber? He ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi, the Akuma no Mi that allows the person who ate it to stretch like rubber." Vivi said, but with a tint of sadness to her voice. Chihiro walked over to her.
"Why are you sad?" She asked. Vivi looked at her, blinked once or twice, then stared at her, before realizing she looked like a complete buffoon.
"What do you mean? I-I'm not sad!" She said, trying her most pitiful attempt yet to put a cheerful smile on her face. Chihiro shook her head.
"Luffy, do you mind if we go into the kitchen for a little?" Chihiro asked. The Captain of this motley crew looked at them. His mouth started to water, and he rubbed his stomach. He looked as if he were going to eat them alive or had a case of hydrophobia, not the kind that Chihiro had, either.
"Are you going to make food?" Luffy asked, stretching out his stomach as he stretched out the word 'food'.Chihiro shook her head.
"Um...no, but I am going to talk to Vivi." Chihiro said. She exchanged glances with Leona.
Whoa. That guy is a total nutcracker.
'Leona! Don't say that! If someone is in love with him, he can't be that bad! It's like me saying that Balmung is the worst person that ever lived!'
"Chihiro! How could you call Balmung the worst person that ever lived!" Leona shouted. Everyone stared at her. Balmung tapped her on the shoulder.
"Are you ok, Leona?" He asked. I bet he wouldn't admit it, but he didn't want his potential girlfriend to turn into a lunatic. Leona nodded.
"Chihiro called you a bad person!" She wailed, and hugged onto Balmung like he was the first plushie she'd ever gotten in her entire lifetime. Chihiro sighed, and she pulled on Vivi's sleeve.
"Vivi, let's get into the kitchen." Chihiro said, going into what she thought was the kitchen. Vivi followed. She was right. It was the kitchen. "Why are so upset that Luffy is wanted?" Chihiro asked. Vivi sighed and shook her head.
"You wouldn't understand...you're a couple of years younger than me, and you don't know anything about love." Vivi said, pertaining to the expression 'I'm sorry.' Chihiro shook her head and placed her hand atop of Vivi's shoulder as the said Princess sat down.
"I-I love someone, too. It might be hard to believe it, but it's true. So, please, tell me why you're upset." Chihiro said in a calming tone. A very faint blue light shone from the hand that was on top of Vivi's shoulder. Vivi sighed once more, in a happier tone.
"Whatever you just did...it felt very nice." Vivi said, looking dreamily at Chihiro's hand. "Hmmm...I love you, Luffy." She said. Chihiro backed away, and ran out of the kitchen.
"Hey, LUFFY! Vivi wants to tell you something!" Chihiro yelled. Whatever she did just didn't feel right. She must've put Vivi in ecstasy or something. Luffy walked over, into the kitchen.
"Hiya, Vivi!" Luffy said. Chihiro looked inside the kitchen, waving over some of her team. They all huddled around her. Vivi smiled at Luffy, and waved a very shy wave.
"L-Luffy, I want to tell you something." Vivi said. Roxas had his ear pressed to the door, a little notebook out as he recorded his conversation for 'later use' as they found out when Naminé interrogated him much later in that day. Luffy nodded, and sat down in another chair besides Vivi's.
"Go ahead, Vivi!" Luffy said, poking her in the shoulder as a 'go on' motion, although this notion could've been understood as one of the more uncomfortable ones, it still had it's uses. Instead of saying anything, Vivi hugged him.
At that precise moment, Chihiro's whole body glowed an faint, iridescent white-blue. The color spread, and it covered the whole ship. Haku suddenly hugged Chihiro, and Chihiro hugged back. In fact, everyone seemed to hug each other. Nami hugged Zoro, Zoro hugged back, Leona and Balmung hugged, Roxas and Naminé hugged,(The latter gave Roxas a tiny peck before doing so) Kairi and Sora hugged, and all the other plausible couples that turn out to be seriously un-important hug.
Chihiro wondered why, but remembered that blue light. It had to cause some kind of bliss to everyone. She smiled, even though the Connection Wing was a curse, she thanked it for giving her a power to make everyone happy. Even if he couldn't hold her forever...
-
A pain shot up through his side. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. He let the darkness take over. Even though the light was screaming at him, he couldn't do it anymore. He had tried to protect..tried to protect the light, but it was no longer possible.
The only thing that could save him was darkness, now. 'Nothing really changed after all. My lonely days will be my only days...'
"No, no! You can't die! You can't die! Please, not now! You deserve a better life with me! Please, get up!" That's the last thing he heard from his light, but what good is light when you're in complete darkness?
-
"I'd like to call these moments: Hold Me Days." Chihiro said. Her blue aura had disappeared, and everyone had snapped out of their trance. "I think my Connection Wing allowed you guys to let out your true feelings for each other in the form of a hug." Chihiro said.
"Well, what about you, Miss I-Will-Save-the-World? Didn't Haku hug you, too?" Asked Zoro, crossing his arms. Nami placed her hand on top of one of them again. It wasn't a habit, but it felt nice to know there was a source of protection nearby.
"Well...yeah, but that's different! We kissed! Have I seen you guys kiss? Nope!" Chihiro said, imitating Zoro and crossing her arms. A vein popped out of his head.
"Now I have my own mini-me?" Zoro asked. Nami laughed, then removed her arms to cross them also. In fact, everyone crossed their arms. Zoro's vein just got bigger. "Quit it, guys!" Zoro said in an agitated manner, letting his arms drop to his sides. Everyone did the same.
For a while, they played copy-Zoro-until-he-gets-seriously-mad! Then, Zoro rested a hand on his sword handle, and when he saw everyone try to copy the motion, he gripped it and started to pull it out. They all immediately stopped.
"Take back what I did." Chihiro said. A chorus of agreement was music to the Marimo Head's ears. He sheathed it back again and stretched.
"Alright, I'm gonna go to sleep." He said. Luffy and everyone nodded. They all had a very tired feeling to them.
"I don't think there's enough beds for everyone." Luffy said, looking at everyone. So, they devised a plan...a lot of people would sleep outside. Well, Zoro and Luffy proposed it, and everyone else agreed. Let's just say Zoro and Luffy weren't the brightest lightbulbs on the Christmas tree, but they were good at heart.
"Oh, wait! Before we go to sleep, we have to introduce ourselves! I guess we were too caught up in our Hold Me Days, right?" Chihiro said. Everyone stopped, and waited for introduction. As always, Chihiro introduced everyone, and told their story afterwords.
-
"Good night, everyone!" Chihiro said, and waved as everyone went to their designated spots to sleep. Most people were in the rooms, and some people were outside. Chihiro waited until everyone was asleep, then walked to the over side of the boat, and crossed her elbows over the banister. She looked up into the sky. It was filled with little sparkling diamonds that lit up the sky.
She remembered what Kairi had said to her once, 'All the stars in the sky represent worlds. When one star goes out, that means a world is destroyed. It's kinda sad, but that's how Sora explained it to me.'
"Those are all the worlds...there's so many. I hope we'll be able to save them all...a world with a starless sky..." Chihiro thought. Could she imagine just looking up to darkness? The sky would seem so lonely without all those stars. But there would be the moon...At the thought of the moon, Chihiro looked in the sky for the celestial rock.
Nowhere to be found. 'That's strange...maybe tonight there's no moon? But that's impossible...a couple of days ago there was no moon, and if I learned anything in school it would be that the New Moon doesn't come every week.' Chihiro turned around, and tried to see if the moon was inhabiting the other side of the night sky.
"What if...the moon represents everyone?" Chihiro said to herself. "No, no, not everyone...but someone's memories of someone? Is that why it's so big, and sometimes it's larger and some days it's smaller? Because the moon is made up of memories? And sometimes you forget, and then you wish you would remember, or do remember..."
"If that's the case, and if the moon were everyone's memories, then that must mean..." Chihiro looked around at the ship, and went on top of the Crow's Nest. There was still no moon. "...someone died tonight. No just one person, but a lot of people." She gulped, and felt a pang in her heart. "Car...Car's dead. Xemnas has to be dead, too." She then started to cry. She couldn't help it. She felt as if the only thing that was holding her heart in place was that Leona and Haku were alive, and even then...it wasn't that comforting.
"I-I bet Zoey and Koji...I bet they're dead, too. Why? Why do I feel like I'm living in nothing but deaths of my friends and family?" Chihiro asked herself. But there was no sense in brooding over it. Maybe tomorrow would be a full moon. Before she went to sleep, she looked up in the sky. A star twinkled, then disappeared forever into the dark. "That must've been Heart's Rhapsody..." Chihiro thought to herself.
"I wish that, just for once, everyone, could be happy at the same time. Maybe I can't do that much, but I wish that we could all be happy. I know that there are some people who won't come back, who can't come back, and be happy with us, but I hope you're happy, wherever you are." Chihiro said, then was fast asleep. No one knew her wish was in the making, as all the stars were now a faint blue, casting a blue light on the whole galaxy.
-
"Chihiro! Chihiro! Where are you?" Chihiro woke up in an instant. Something seemed to be a bit different today. It was like there was a perpetual mist hung over the ship, or a fog so thick she couldn't see through.
"Is that Leona?" Chihiro asked.
"Yeah! Come down here! Guess what?" Leona said excitedly. Chihiro climbed down. Her jaw hit the floor instantly.
"Kami! What the heck happened here?" Chihiro asked. Little rainbows were floating around, and a circle of white light surrounded the tips of the rainbows. It looked like shooting stars.
"We're in the sky! Isn't that so cool?" Leona asked. Chihiro stared at her.
"How'd that happen? We were in an ocean!" Chihiro said. Leona shrugged.
"It seemed to have happened over night. No one knows how, and I've asked everyone." Leona said. Chihiro thought about this. Did her wishing do this? Maybe, maybe not... Suddenly, she got an idea.
"Leona, come into the Crow's Nest for a moment with me! I want to see something." Chihiro said, waving in a 'Come on' motion as she climbed the Crow's Nest, Leona scrambling behind her. Once she was on it, and Leona was, beside her, Leona looked at her.
"What is it?" She asked. Chihiro peered into the fog, which, in fact, was a cloud. She saw a very far-off sparkling.
"That's the castle Gray's in. I'm sure of it."Chihiro said. Leona looked at her, blinked, and then stared into the clouds. She saw the far-off twinkling.
"Yeah! That is a Castle! Another one that's in the sky!" Leona said. Chihiro nodded, and looked at her sister.
"Leona, it's time to finish this. For the worlds!" Chihiro yelled. In response, she heard everyone shout, "For the Worlds!"
In fact, it seemed as if the Heavens had shouted "For the Worlds!", too.
They would finish this. Not just for their fallen comrades, but so all of the Worlds could have Hold Me Days, too.
I had to make some people die. I'm sorry, I had to. Also, if you guys noticed the TINY paragraph in there where I didn't use any names? I bet you people all know who the un-named people are. If you don't...you may never find out. --
Oh, and this will end at 17, or 18-ish. Two chapters dedicated to the fights, or maybe one, it depends, then maybe an epilogue. It depends. Sorry if the fight with Xemnas went a little too fast. I want to finish this story so I can get onot to my next one. Please review, please and thanks! ;)
