Yes I know, you all want to kill Namine. Don't worry, you'll get your chance. Mwahahaha! Let's see if in this chapter, Sora finds Kairi in time…no flames please! Enjoy!
Oh, and I also noticed that in my writing I usually sometimes change the perspective. I don't know why I do that. Haha, it doesn't confuse you does it? I can always just put it in one perspective but it wouldn't sound the same.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Kairi slashed the last Heartless in her way and panted heavily. She made the keyblade disappear from her hand and looked around.
"I swear, that slut will pay for it when I see her. I bet she's all over Sora right now…", Kairi growled.
Then her face calmed a little. "Mabye Sora's looking for me. I should wait, but I'm not gonna stay here helplessly. I'm gonna go find him".
She looked at the several paths and wondered which one to choose. She sighed and decided to go to the one right in front of her. She ran down the path and still saw nothing; nothing that she recognized. Namine didn't walk her too far; she only remembered going through many curves, and saw no curves.
"Ok, so it's not this one. Let me try the one next to this one. Mabye I'll- AAAH!", Kairi screamed as she turned around to see the face of the girl named Kikyo and was knocked down unconcious by the Heartless and Nobodies.
Team 16...
The team laughed and giggled as they walked through the weird ground and made many turns. After a while of walking, Max stopped them.
"Guys, there's been a change of plans. We're going back to camp", Max said.
Everyone groaned and started to complain.
"But it was getting fun!", some started to say.
"I'm sorry, but we have to go back; as well as Team 15. To make it up to you, you can go like this back to the camping site to get our stuff, ok?", Max smiled.
"Yay!", they all exclaimed in unison and kept on walking towards the camp site.
When they got there, Max told them to take off the blindfolds and get up the platform to get their stuff to leave. Namine took off the blindfold quickly and was about to make a run for it, but Sora's hands still had a firm grip on her.
"Sora, I have to go get my stuff", Namine said, nervous now.
"Aw come on, wait for me at least", Sora laughed and took off his blindfold with one hand to see the blonde hair, not the red one.
"NAMINE?", Sora screamed and turned her around.
"Hi Sora", Namine smiled; almost too innocent.
"You've been the one in front of me this whole time!", Sora asked with shock.
"Only after we stopped", Namine responded.
"You were pretending to be Kairi?", Sora asked, his blood boiling.
"Uh…yeah", Namine smiled nervously.
"WHERE IS KAIRI!", Sora grabbed his brown hair in panic.
Namine only grinned and ran towards the platform.
Sora's jaw dropped. Namine didn't really care! How could she? She was the coldest person he's ever met; way colder than any of the Organization XII or Heartless and Nobodies themselves! After what she did to his Kairi, she was fit to be the leader of all Organization XII, Heartless, AND Nobodies. He was ready to take out the keyblade and send her to the next dimmension!
Sora ran towards Namine and grabbed her arm.
"Tell me now, Namine, what did you do with Kairi?", Sora asked with anger.
"I didn't do anything to her; she left on her own and told me to cover for her", Namine said plainly.
"Don't give me that crap, Namine! Where is Kairi?", Sora asked again with frustration.
"You're so cute when you get all angry. I told you I don't know. Now, if I were you, I would take this as an advantage. Sure they'll find her wherever she is, but didn't you like me better than her?", Namine flirted and went up the platform.
"There's no way you'll ever replace Kairi! I can't believe I was so stupid to think you were actually Kairi", Sora groaned.
"Don't worry, Sora. I know you'll come to me eventually", Namine said from the platform.
Sora kicked the ground forcefully and ran to the road.
"Kairi!", he screamed and let his arms dangle in misery.
"I think I might know where she is", the voice rang to his ears.
Sora turned to see Roxas coming towards him.
"Namine did do it, didn't she?", Sora asked.
Roxas sighed sadly and nodded his head.
"Ugh! That-…no words can explain the rage I feel towards her", Sora punched the tree next to him. He punched it so hard, it actually cracked a little.
Roxas winced. He didn't like him talking about her like that, but she did do something extremely low. He understood and was ready to help.
"The place where we stopped is where there is one road splitting to another one. If you go down this road, it'll take you there. Namine lead her to the opposite road and I don't know where else. That's where Kairi should be", Roxas explained.
"Why are you helping me so much, Roxas? We are buddies and all, but you're also like…part of Namine's evil scheme aren't you?", Sora asked.
Roxas sighed, "I guess you can say I am…but I've never told anyone the real reason…you'll think I'm just a lovesick puppy"
"Come on, just tell me", Sora smiled a little.
"Well…ever since I met her, I've always really liked her. I knew she was mean, but no one has ever seen the side of her that I've seen. I've loved her for years and she has liked a few other guys before you, and it hurt me really bad…but I helped her to get them anyway", Roxas looked to the ground.
"And now it's hurting me even more because…you're my friend. I can tell how much you love Kairi, and I couldn't chose between you guys or Namine. I didn't say anything…I would only give into the looks she would give me. And this time my weakness affected you a lot. I want to pay that back by helpling you the best I can. Can you forgive me Sora?", Roxas asked, his eyes begging for forgivness.
Sora was surprised. It impressed him that Roxas would actually love Namine that much. He respected that. He knew what it was like to be in a love so deep it hurt.
"I understand, Roxas. I love Kairi so much, I can practically hear her screaming right now. She's a part of me and I guess that's what you feel about Namine. I respect that", Sora said.
"Thanks, Sora. Oh and…please don't tell anyone. You're the first person I ever told", Roxas smiled.
"Don't worry, I won't tell a soul. But you think you can do me one last favor to pay it back?", Sora asked.
"Yeah, anything", Roxas replied.
"Cover for me; I am not leaving unless I have Kairi in my arms again", Sora said and ran quickly on the road.
"Don't worry, Kairi. I'm coming for you", Sora said to himself and ran even faster than before.
Team 15...
"Jasmine, come on! Please? Let's go back and kick the Heartless back into the darkness", Riku pleaded Jasmine.
The team was already walking back to Camp Neon. They were walking on the opposite side of where Team 16 was supposed to be walking at (if Kairi didn't move, they would've found her already).
"Riku, no. Let's just leave it as it is. There is nothing dangerous so there is no need", Jasmine replied.
"Kikyo has the freagin' Nobodies AND Heartless by her side! PLUS! Somehow, the power of darkness gave her enough to get out of the haunted forest! Tell me how that is not dangerous!", Riku whispered a little loudly (they were in back).
Jasmine put a finger on his lips, which made Riku stand up straight and look at her with curiosity.
"We'll go after it later, but not right now. There are too many people", Jasmine said calmly.
Riku smiled defeatingly. Jasmine smiled too and removed her finger and continued walking.
"Now I see the connection between you and Leon. Most of the time you're always calm…well, unlike your brother, you're actually not so serious as he is. That's good", Riku chuckled a little bit.
"Yeah, but if you were to put me side-by-side my brother, I'd become all serious and we'd look like twins…except he's way taller than I am", Jasmine smiled.
"Well let me tell you; I am the most stubborn of the group. You can always make Kairi laugh and she'll do anything; she's real adventurous, but she can be very 'responsible' sometimes. And Sora is the most protective", Riku explained.
"Protective?", Jasmine asked.
"Yeah. I swear, if you take a candy bar from him, he'll start attacking you until he gets it back. And on special occasions, he even starts to cry. But he goes balistic when it's me or Kairi, especially Kairi. Whenever we're in danger, he just doesn't quit", Riku explained.
"Aw, that's so cute", Jasmine giggled.
"Oh the team is already ahead of us", Riku pointed out. They were already on the one road while they were still walking on the other one. They took their time, though.
Just at that moment, they saw an extremely fast figure run on the other road through the trees.
"What is that?", Jasmine asked.
The figure made a quick turn to the road that Jasmine and Riku were on. It was running right towards them.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!", he said to them.
"Wait…Sora? Hold up, man", Riku said and extended his arm on his side to abruptly stop Sora.
"Ow! Riku, let me go! I have to go", Sora said and started to run, but Riku only stopped him.
"We're going back to Camp Neon, you can 'go' there", Jasmine said.
"No! Not that kind of go. Namine! She took Kairi over here and now she's lost! I have to go find her now! I am not leaving without her", Sora said and tried to push Riku's arms away, but failed miserabley.
"What? Namine actually did that?", Riku asked with shock.
"Looks like Catherine is really just a plain slut without Namine…but Namine is the evil slut who actually does something in the extremes", Jasmine covered her mouth in shock.
"I know, I'll have to get the bitch later. Right now, I have to go find Kairi. Let me go, Riku", Sora said, trying again to remove his arms.
"We'll help you find her; she's our friend too. We didn't see her when we came. Knowing Kairi, she probably went on her own and didn't stop and think someone would rescue her", Riku said.
"You guys", Sora sighed with a smile.
"No way are you going without us, Sora. Come on, let's go find Kairi", Jasmine smiled.
Sora smiled widely at his friends and all 3 friends and felt confident, when-
"Just where do you think you're going?", a voice called from behind.
Riku, Sora, and Jasmine winced. It was Max. They turned around to see him and Team 16 behind him. Roxas had Sora's stuff…and Kairi's.
"We…it's cause…but…", Sora couldn't find the right words.
He knew he couldn't just say, 'Namine is a bitch and led Kairi away from the group and we're looking for her'. Even though he wanted to say that so bad.
"No buts, you three. You are not going anywhere. You are coming back to camp with us and I am only letting you off with a warning, ok?", Max said sternly.
"Yes, sir", Jasmine and Riku said in unison.
Sora turned to them in disbelief. Riku gave him the look; one Sora knew that Riku had a plan up his sleeve (well…technically he doesn't have any sleeves). He understood and nodded at Max.
"Good. Now let's go", Max said as he and the team walked down the trail to camp.
Sora gave Riku and Jasmine a hesitating look. Riku came closer to him and whispered.
"Don't worry, we're gonna sneak out and look for her later. Right now we just have to make them less suspicious, ok?".
Sora nodded and the three walked towards the team. "I'll come back to find you, Kairi. I promise", Sora said to himself and looked back to the trees.
"Hey, where's Namine so I can give her a big shout at for loosing my best friend", Jasmine asked.
Sora looked around his team, but didn't find her at all; not even with Roxas, who gave Sora his stuff and Kairi's.
"Actually…she's not here. I wonder where she went", Sora responded, shrugging it off and not caring if she fell off a cliff.
"Whatever, I hope she's lost like Kairi. Except if we find Namine, we won't help her", Riku grinned. The three laughed.
Somewhere In The Same Woods...
Namine fell on her knees. "Ow!", she yelped in a high pitched sound and looked up to see the girl named Kikyo, who had captured her (she didn't look like a horror movie or anything, just a little creepy and pale).
"You…you're Kikyo! Oh my god, you're gonna kill me, aren't you?", Namine began to cry and put her hands over her eyes.
"You are the only exception I have. I did not capture you to kill you", Kikyo's raspy voice rang through Namine's ears.
"What? You're not? Then why did you capture me?", Namine asked, removing her hands and standing up.
Kikyo's hair was actually straight and down, it almost touched the ground. It was extremely dark and some covered her face. She looked really creepy, but Namine wasn't that afraid. I mean, she did say she wasn't going to kill her.
Kikyo turned her head to the right and the Heartless came out and stood there, staring at Namine.
Namine gasped loudly, "Wha-….what are those things!".
"These, my dear Namine, are called Heartless. They are the darkness of the heart made real. They search for dark hearts frantically; and I see that most of my Heartless have been waiting for your heart", Kikyo pointed an ugly and pale finger at her.
"My heart? But my heart is filled with pure happiness and sunshine. How could they want mine?", Namine asked, placing her hand on her heart.
"Oh?", Kikyo moved to the side to show Namine Kairi's unconcious body on the ground.
"Kairi?", Namine's eyes went wide.
"This is what you wanted, am I correct? You want to get rid of this girl, Kairi. You want the heart of the boy named Sora, the keyblade master", Kikyo said with her raspy voice.
"Keyblade master?", Namine asked in confusion.
"I shall explain everything to you momentarily. This is only if you agree to my offer", Kikyo said.
"What offer?", Namine asked.
"I seek revenge, you see. But what I want isn't most important here, now is it Namine? If you join the darke side with me, Namine, you will have great strength and power. It will surely win the heart of Sora", Kikyo explained.
"You can do that?", Namine asked, a thinking face on her.
"Yes, my dear. The dark side has many wonders. Not only will you have strength and power, but you will also have the power to control the Heartless and Nobodies. You can have anything you want", Kikyo grinned.
"Anything…even Sora?", Namine gave Kikyo a look of agreement.
Kikyo nodded her head slowly and extended her hand towards Namine.
"What do you say, Namine? Shake my hand, and the power of darkness will be within you; and the darkness shall give you the power to control the Heartless and Nobodies at your own will and so much more. You can have Kairi out of the way and Sora yours forever. I will explain to you later of what I want. It is not complicated; but right now, all you need to become powerful is a shake away", Kikyo said, looking at her with a grin.
Namine grinned evily and, with no doubt or hesitation, she took Kikyo's hand and shook it. Black swirls surrounded Kikyo's arm and slowly went to Namine's. Namine laughed evily as the power of darkness soon swirled around her, making her feel like the most powerful girl in the world.
She looked at Kikyo, her clear blue eyes a bit darker. They let go of hands and grinned evily.
"All I want you to do for me is to take the keyblade away from Sora. He only weilds it out when he sees Heartless or Nobodies. Be wise of when to take it", Kikyo said.
"I know exactly how to do it. Thank you, Kikyo. I feel so powerful. Sora will be mine", Namine made a fist in the air and the Heartless and Nobodies came around her, ready to be given a comand.
"Meet me here when you have gotten the keyblade. I shall soon have my revenge on those poor souls. Good luck, Namine. Don't fail me", Kikyo gave her one last evil grin before her hair swirled around her and disappeared with her own Heartless and Nobodies at her side; leaving Kairi unhidden.
Namine looked at the Dusks and the different kinds of Heartless, looking at her and awaited her wishes.
"I want you to hide for now until I need you. For now-", Namine walked up to Kairi and took the pink keyblade from Kairi's limp hand and looked at it, "-keep this girl within you and let nobody touch her. I'll decide how I'll use her to get Sora…oh…I know exactly now how to get Sora to give me the keyblade", Namine grinned at the pink keyblade.
The Heartless and Nobodies obeyed her and completely covered Kairi until she was gone. They soon disappeared, leaving Namine with Kairi's keyblade.
(A/N: When Kikyo gave Namine the darkness, she gave her the information of Sora and the gang)
In Sora and Riku's cabin...
Sora layed on his stomach on the bed. It was midnight, and the moon was the only light. He could not sleep. Sora was not at peace. His world could never be at peace as long as he knew that Kairi was alone in the dark right now in the woods.
Sora shifted to be on his back and took out his cellphone. He sent a text message to Kairi, knowing that she wouldn't answer. He had tried several times, but of course she wouldn't answer. He tried again right now, though. Feeling something different.
Sora took a deep breathe and was about to give up, when suddely the cellphone screen turned completely black. Sora sat up and put it near the window to see clearly. His eyes were not decieving him. Except, now it wasn't completely black. His text message appeared in white.
Kairi, where r u!
"Last night?", Riku asked Sora.
The three looked at Sora's cellphone when they were walking out of 1st period.
"Yeah. It just suddenly happeed", Sora replied.
"It was sorta hard for me to give an excuse to why Kairi wasn't there. I told them that her throat felt weird and she was sleeping in the infirmiry", Jasmine said.
"And what about Namine; did she ever show up?", Riku asked.
"Yeah, but…she looked totally weird. When she came back, her eyes and hair look…darker; as well as her white dress. Now it looks grey", Jasmine said.
Sora and Riku exchanged confused glances. How could she have done that in a few hours?
"I wish we could keep talking about this, but I have to get to sword fighing. We'll talk about this later", Riku said.
Sora's eyes turned into grief and he searched in his pocket and grabbed hold of the lucky charm Kairi let him keep even after he came back. Jasmine put his hands on Sora's shoulders.
"Kairi is a strong girl, Sora. I know she's ok; and I'm usually always right when I have a feeling of something. You will see her again", Jasmine said with an assurance smile.
Sora smiled at her and nodded. Both went their separate ways towards 2nd period.
Riku…
Everyone put on the protective white suits and held onto the mask (you all what I'm talking about right? And they have those long and skinny swords?).
"Ok, so, like I said yesterday, today we're going to do some sword fighting", the main councelor of Sword Fighting named Joel explained.
Just suddenly, the door creaked opened. They all turned their heads to see Namine standing in the door.
"Oh yes, you're the new entry into sword fighting, right?", Joel asked.
"Yeah; it's Namine", Namine said.
Jasmie was right; her eyes were darker blue, her hair didn't look so close to white anymore; it looked almost…dirty blonde, but not yet, and her dress wasn't exactly grey or white. It was in between.
"Alright, put on these; today we're going to practice sword fighting", Joel smiled and gave Namine her suit.
Riku smirked. That vase won't last a second in this class, Riku thought. Just hit her once and she'll break. What was she doing here? By the time his thoughts finished, Namine already had on the suit and was carrying the head set.
"Alright. How about you, Riku? You wanna go first?", Joel asked.
"Uh, sure. No problem", Riku grinned and walked towards the center. This would be a piece of cake for him, whoever the challenger was.
"And how about…you, Namine?", Joel asked.
Namine grinned and walked towards the center as well. Riku laughed hard in his mind. Namine? Oh please! I bet she couldn't stand up straight with the heavy mask if she tried. And Riku is an expert at sword fighting; even if his real weapon is a little different from the skinny sword.
Namine and Riku put on the head sets and Joel gave them the swords.
"Sir? Can I use my own sword?", Namine asked through the mask.
"Uh…it wouldn't really be the classic sword fighting, but if you want. And if you want to Riku, you can get your own sword if you have one", Joel said.
Riku was curious. She carried around her own sword? Namine extended her hand and the pink keyblade appeared in her hand. Riku's eyes widened. That was Kairi's!
"What's wrong, Riku? Are you afraid of a little pink sword?", Namine said, extending the keyblade towards him in a fighting position.
Riku got back his wits and extended his own hand. The blue and red keyblade came to his hand. "Not at all, Namine. Not at all", Riku said and got in a fighting position.
All the kids started to whisper at how cool this was happening. The swords looked amazing to them, but they didn't know the real story.
"Ready…go!", Joel said and got out of the way.
Riku thought to go easy on her, but after he saw Kairi's keyblade in HER hand, he decided not to. Sora would've wanted him to not go easy on her.
Namine ran towards him and tried to hit him from the front, but Riku put his hand on the end of the sword to block her. He pushed her away and started to attack, but she would always block.
It went on like this for a very long time. But as the time went by, Namine would get stronger and Riku would get weaker. She was extremely strong; she jumped extremely high and hit him and she blocked every move he made, no matter how hard the move was.
Before long, Riku dropped to the ground with his keyblade. He was shocked to see the pink keyblade in his face; Namine looking at him with a grin under the mask. He now saw the position of defeat by Namine. This was impossible, but it happened.
"And Namine is the winner! Wasn't that so exciting?", Joel asked the group with an excited face.
The class cheered.
"Well, it took a little too long, so the rest of you will have to sword fight tomorrow. I hope that's ok", Joel said.
"Yeah, it was worth seeing them fight", a boy said as they took off their stuff.
Namine put the keyblade away and stepped away from Riku. Riku made his disappear and he took off his mask after he got up to look at her. The two put away their white suits and Riku grabbed her arm and pulled her strongly out of the room into an empty hallway.
Riku pinned her to the wall.
"I don't know how you suddenly know about the keyblades, but I know that that was Kairi's keyblade! What did you do with her?", Riku asked with force.
Namine crossed her arms and looked away.
"Namine, I'm not going to ask you again! What did you do with Kairi?", Riku asked, turning her head towards his again.
Her eyes swirled with darkness. Riku gasped, but did not stop pinning her. He needed to know what she did with his best friend.
"Wouldn't you like to know, cheese brain. Now get off of me before your little girlfriend suspects something again. I know you love me, but I'm after Sora", Namine pushed him away with her foot and walked away.
Riku stared at her with disbelief. Before she turned the corner, she looked at him with an evil grin.
"You can be certain that Kairi is in well hands for now", Jasmine said before extending her open hand towards him and many Heartless appeared around him.
"Heartless? How did you-…", Riku was in total shock.
Riku took his keyblade (what is Riku's weapon called? I forgot already. I don't even know what it is exactly) and with one slash made them all disappear.
"I have to tell Sora right away", Riku said and ran towards DVD production; where Sora would get out from in a few minutes.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
HOLY SHIT! NAMINE IS IN THE DARKESIDE NOW!
What the hell is gonna happen now? What is she planning to do with Kairi? What will Sora say when Riku tells him? Will this madness ever end!
I don't know, you're just gonna have to keep reading. Mwahahahaha. No flames please!
