Chapter Three:
The Old Mansion:
The old mansion was indeed old. It was practically in ruins in the inside. There were wood pieces all over the floor and it seemed no one had lived there in years- centuries even! There were two stair cases, one for each side. Both led up to a second floor hallway and then two rooms. I took the left staircase and headed to the west room. In side was blinding white. Everything was white in the room except for pictures that had been colored and were strewn about. Some on the huge table in the middle of the room, and some on the walls hung up, and some just randomly left on the floor.
I stepped to the huge window which was also covered by –you guessed it- white curtains. I wondered if someone actually lived here recently. It seemed the room had been in use a bit more than the downstairs. I decided that being in that room would eventually blind me if I didn't get out soon, so I left. I headed across the hallway into the east room.
This room also seemed to have been used recently. There was a table in the middle of the room with three places drawn on it in three different colors. There were two symbols in two of the places, but the third was empty. I remembered seeing a strange symbol in the white room, so I decided to finish the picture drawn on the table.
As soon as I finished, the ground below me started to shake and it started to move out from under me. I quickly jumped to the small piece of 'land' near the door that wasn't moving. The floor soon stopped, revealing a secret passage. The passage seemed to be much more advanced, since it seemed to be made out of all metal plates and wires. I slowly made my way down the stairs and through a sliding, metal door. The next room was exactly like the first, except that it had a computer with many screens to it. I stared at it in wonder, then decided to ignore it for the time being. I continued my way through another sliding door into another empty room. It went on like this for two or three more rooms.
Finally, I made it to a hallway. As I headed through it, I saw many strange flower-like pods. I stopped, stepping up to one to see if anything was in it. Unfortunately, I couldn't really see anything through the white abyss. So, I shrugged and moved on. There were two or three more pods before I came to a big door. I headed through into another blinding white room. It was amazing that everything here was white. I wondered if the people who lived here went blind or something. In the middle of the room was the same kind of flower-like pod, except much bigger. I could see a figure inside.
I stepped to the flower, and looked inside again. I almost gasped at the angel I saw inside. Well, more like a teenaged boy who looked like an angel in my eyes. I touched the cold glass with my hand, staring at the angelic pale face inside. His silver medium length hair that framed his face perfectly. Although, any clothing he might've wore, I couldn't see. I wondered how long he had been asleep in there. Then I started to wonder if someone did live here, although never came out of it, cleaned the mansion and was in hiding right now.
Suddenly, the pod hissed and started to open. I backed up enough so I was close to the pod, yet far enough back so I wouldn't be in the way of the opening petals. As soon as it was done, I looked up to study the boy. He seemed to float about an inch off the pod's foundation. He had baggy blue jeans on held up by a belt. His sleeveless black zip-up shirt seemed to be tight and outlined his muscular form. A white and yellow sleeveless vest hung over it.
I stepped to the teen, careful not to fall or trip on the uneven platform, and stood almost a foot from him. I carefully reached out, touching his cheek. I slightly blushed, realizing he had very soft skin. I stared at him for a while, and then stepped even closer to him. I didn't know if he was breathing or not, so I listened carefully-my ear pointed toward his face-for his breathing. I sighed when I found out he was, indeed, breathing; just very softly, but in slow, even breaths. I took a step back, in case he was to wake up.
Something about him made me think of Naomi. Maybe it was his skin; Naomi's skin was always soft. Or maybe it was because he seemed like an angel. Naomi had dressed up as an angel each year for certain holidays. I smiled to myself, not realizing it. It brought tears to my eyes that she was gone. That I would probably never see her again. No, I would bring her back. I would save her and bring her home!
Then I felt something put a hand on my shoulder. I froze for a split second, then looked up. My surprised blue-green eyes met some-what worried and cold aquamarine ones. I almost gasped, but covered my mouth with my free hand, suddenly noticing my other hand was still on the angel's cheek. I snatched it away and stumbled back, trying not to call out in surprise. He just looked at me looking tired still, his bangs slightly covering his eyes.
I made it to the floor, and watched as he followed. I pressed my back to the wall, and stayed against it. I watched him with mild interest, finally taking my hand from my mouth and dropping it to my side, and stared at him. "Who…are you? Where am I? How did I get here?" he asked. I stood straight, regaining my composure. "I am Rath Hikari, a resident of Twilight Town, which you are in. How you got here-I don't know." I answered. He looked at me, dazed a little, then looked around. I just watched him. "I'm…Riku." He gave his name. I didn't know what to say or do until…"Um…do you know about any guys in black trench coats or about the keyblade?" I asked out of the blue. It surprised him alright, but almost like he knew exactly what I was talking about. "Organization XIII? They're still alive?" he seemed to ask himself. I got a spark of hope right then. "Then, you might know about a girl name Naomi, right?" I asked almost desperately.
Riku just stared off into space, frowning to himself. He seemed to be having an inner battle with himself. I clenched my fists, wanting to beat him to a pulp. He seemed to not care about my questions. "Hey!" I called to him, hoping to get his attention. Well, I did, but he just looked at me coldly like I had interrupted a very important discussion. "What?" he asked coldly. I stared back at him with my own glare. "I asked if you knew anything about a girl name Naomi." I repeated, trying to suppress the urge to pummel the teen. It seemed to be working until… "Sorry, but not really, now if you don't mind…" he started to head toward the door out of the room. That put me over the edge.
"Listen to me. My friend was kidnapped a year ago. I finally might've found a clue to where she is, and the one person who might know anything won't tell me!" I practically screamed at him. My throat hurt a bit since I hadn't screamed in a long time. I really couldn't remember the last time I screamed. Riku stared at me, dumbfounded, and I huffed, trying to regain my breath. "Hey…I can't really tell you anythi-" he was cut off though when white monsters surrounded us. "This can wait, can't it?" he asked. I nodded and let him go, turning to the monsters. A black bat winged blade appeared in his right hand and it had a white angel wing comforting the other. I looked at the monsters and awaited them to attack. Riku charged at the creatures, his blade readied as he let out a battle cry. He sliced down one of the creatures, and started for the others. Some came nearer to me, and tried to attack. I held up my arms to defend against their attacks, but once again, the pain never came. I felt something in my hand and opened my eyes to see the same black blade from before, and I snickered. Now I could kick some ass.
I slashed one of the monsters and it disappeared. This is easy! I though to myself and took down another one. After a while, the monsters disappeared. Riku turned to me, and gained a surprised look when he saw the keyblade in my hand. "That's-How did you get that!" he asked me in surprise-or was there fear in his voice? "I don't know…it just appeared!" I tried to answer. I wasn't sure how I got it, but I was happy I had it. Otherwise I might've been dead by now. Riku just stared at me. "You…you can't have that! Why! How!" he held panic in his voice, and confusion as well. "How the hell am I supposed to know! Some guy appeared in the black coat and started to fight me! It just appeared in my hand during the fight!" I told him forcefully. He seemed to calm down a bit, but not much.
"Listen…that blade, the keyblade, holds dark powers. Especially that one. I…once had it, but only gained it because I had given into the dark…if you have it, it could mean you're my enemy." He explained. I sighed, not knowing what to think anymore. "But…" I looked back up at him, the keyblade disappearing. "If your friend was taken by Organization XIII, then you might be on my side." He said and turned away, his disappeared too. I sighed inwardly from being relieved. If I had to fight him…well, let's just say I would loose.
We headed out of the mansion and to the train station. We went inside, not speaking a word, and Riku asked for two tickets. After he got them, we went towards a train I had never before seen in the station before. "Wait…where are we going?" I asked. He just continued ahead. "We need a gummi ship, if your friend is to be found." He answered. I halted, although he continued on. "Wait…what's a gummi ship!" I called following him onto the blue train with stars and moons on it. It had a black hat on the front of the train. "Heh…it's a ship to travel between worlds." He chuckled. "Worlds? Different worlds?" I asked curiously. He started to laugh. "Sit and I'll explain." He said and sat down. I sat down on the leather blue seats as the train started its journey to wherever we were going.
During the ride, I learned about the journey of a young boy name Sora. He had a keyblade, like mine except silver, and traveled through different worlds to 'seal' them. These seals protected the hearts of the worlds from creatures called 'Heartless.' These Heartless went around taking hearts from innocent people and made new creatures for themselves. The stronger the heart, the stronger the Heartless. The hearts were sent to a place called 'Kingdom Hearts.' The souls were made into Heartless, and the bodies into something called Nobodies. Organization XIII was made up of strong Nobodies and controlled the weaker ones. Sora had defeated an evil and strong Heartless named Ansem. Then, he closed the door to Kingdom Hearts. Afterwards, he had went through a palace and lost many of his memories because of a girl called Namine. She had the power to erase one's memory of someone or something. Although, she was forced to erase Sora's memories, she made it up to him when he saved her. She gave him back his memories and ties, yet he wouldn't remember the time in the palace or of her. Namine was the Nobody of a young princess named Kairi. Kairi was Sora's best friend and he had saved her from Ansem. Sora had to leave Kairi at their home of Destiny Islands. So, Sora was in a capsule, much like Riku's, except for a whole year. Kairi waited for him, before being capture by the Organization. Sora went on another adventure to save her and the worlds from destruction. However, he had to beat Xemnas, a very powerful Nobody who acquired a small amount of Kingdom Hearts power. He was defeated though, and Sora was placed back on his island home with his friends.
Now, this savior was missing-as well as my friend-and Riku had gone to find him. Since I had a keyblade, I must have something to do with the Organization's reappearance. Therefore, Riku wanted to take me to a special world to find out what was going on. Soon, the train stopped at a weird sort of tower. We stepped out and the train went off to some place I didn't know where. Riku headed into the tower, I trailed behind him. We climbed a few flight of stairs and made it to a small study where an old man sat in a big blue chair. He had a long grey beard and mustache, and bushy eyebrows to match. He had a big blue hat on and matching robes. "Master Yen Sid." Riku said quietly. I looked at Riku, then the old man, then back to Riku. "Who?" I whispered, trying to not be heard.
"Ah, Riku. I see you've finally awoken. You've missed much. Hmm…and who might this be?" he asked in a wise old man tone. I stood tall, yet was hidden behind Riku a bit, feeling like I knew nothing anymore. Riku chuckled, stepping away so I could be seen. "This is Rath. She holds the dark keyblade." He said to the old man. The old man grew serious. "Hm…this isn't much of a surprise, yet it is. Yes, your friend Rath-Naomi, is it?-is a hostage with the Organization members." He told me. I got an almost surprised look, yet more worried than anything. "Naomi? Where is she?" I asked impatiently, wanting answers to my questions. He held up a hand. "Hold on. I don't know exactly where. They move around a lot. Yet, you need to know that her heart holds the key to our future." He said. Riku nodded. "We need a gummi ship, sir." Riku informed. The man nodded, and snapped his fingers. I heard a weird humming noise, then an orange floating ship appeared in the window. Riku smiled and took me over to the window.
"Yes. This is Sora's old ship I was able to retrieve. Now, you must know that there are more enemies now-stronger than ever. Riku, teach Rath how to use her keyblade properly." Riku nodded, and I just starred in wonder at the ship. "Rath…" the man's voice shook me from my thoughts, and I looked to see him with a serious expression, yet sympathetic. "You must save Naomi. Her heart is strong enough to open Kingdom Hearts, yet some others are needed to completely unleash its real power. Yours and Riku's included. So, you must not fail. And never lose sight of your light. Farewell, and good luck." He bid farewell and I felt Riku's hand in mine. I felt a blush, but ignored it. I wanted to ask more from the man, but Riku dragged me to the window and pushed me into the ship. Riku nodded to Yen Sid and we were off.
The unlimited space surrounded us as we flew off away from Twilight Town. I sat in the co-pilot's seat and looked back at my home town-no, world- as it faded away. I felt a tear trying to roll down my cheek, but I wiped it away before it could. "Goodbye…" I whispered. I felt Riku's hand on my shoulder. "It'll take a while to get to our destination, so just relax for now…and don't worry, we'll come back." He tried to reassure me with a smile. I tried to smile back, but it didn't work too well. So, I sat back in my chair and stared out the domed window around us. The stars twinkled as though nothing was happening, and it made me envy them. I wished I could just sit out somewhere and not care about what was going on in the other 'worlds,' but I knew that was out of the question.
I sighed to myself, thinking of what could happen now. I might find Naomi, but what would she be like now? Could she have changed? Maybe she went to the evil side…no, never. She always knew what was right and wrong. But, what if she was brain washed? Or even forced to work for them? I kept wondering, until, I finally fell asleep.
AN: Well, how's this chapter? I lost the first version I did of it, and I couldn't remember everything, so I had to rewrite it. I think this one has its pros and cons...
Riku: doesn't matter to me, I have an evil woman following me!
