I am so sorry about the major pause on this story. I just didn't know how to continue it, but thanks to my new buddy (sorry dude, forgot your penname, hehehe. I'm sorry),I know how this story will go.
Thank you for the reviews, everybody. I'm hoping I haven't lost any reviewers, lol. Oh and people, they are in their KH2 selves. Now that I played the game, it's weird to figure them in KH1. They are older than what I said in chapter one. OK? Lol.
One more thing…Roxas and Namine are not Nobodies in this fiction. They are also not related to Sora and Kairi. It is only a coincidence that they look alike, haha! Now enjoy the chappie!
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Sora! Sora!", Riku finally caught up with Sora, who had just gotten out of DVD production.
"Hey Riku. How was sword fighting?", Sora asked, feeling a little better and more determined to find Kairi.
Riku put his hands on his knees and gave him a hold on signal as he took a breather. Riku sighed and stood up straight, his eyes blazing with anger.
"Whoa, what happened?", Sora asked.
"Namine some how got into my sword fighting class and she beat me", Riku said.
"That's why you're angry? Well, yeah that's sorta pitiful. I mean, you've been fighting for years and you were beaten by a small girl", Sora chuckled.
"Sora, it's not like that! Namine some how got into my sword fighting class…and beat me. You wanna know how?", Riku asked.
Sora shrugged and then nodded.
"SHE USED KAIRI'S KEYBLADE!", Riku screamed, not caring if anyone heard.
"She WHAT?", Sora screamed back.
"That's right. She beat me by using Kairi's keyblade. See, I thought it was gonna be a piece of cake and all. Then suddenly she asked Joel if she could use a sword of her own. And she took out Kairi's keyblade. Even with my own, she beat me! I don't know what happened when she was gone, but I think that her appearance is also part of it. She has incredible strength", Riku explained.
"That slut must've joined with the dark side…but how?", Sora felt like punching something now (lol).
"You know…now that I think about it. Don't get freaked out, ok Sora? Me and Jasmine saw Kikyo's shadow with the Heartless and Nobodies with her in the trees. I think Kikyo captured Namine and gave her the power of darkness. I don't know why, though", Riku said.
"Oh great; we have Namine PLUS the killing Kikyo and Kairi is in those same woods! Oh no! Alright, I am going to miss 3rd period! I am going to those woods!", Sora was making a run for it, but Riku grabbed onto the hood and pulled him back.
"Sora, I know you're worried about Kairi. I am too, but-".
"Riku, you don't understand! I love Kairi! I-"
"Hey, I know you love Kairi, but I still care for her as my best friend. I look after her, too you know", Riku was getting a little pissed now.
"No Riku! I know, but…it's my fault she's out there!", Sora confessed and bowed his head in shame.
"What are you talking about, Sora? It's Namine's fault she's out there", Riku reminded him.
"No, Riku. It's my fault. Kairi told me that she knew Namine would do something. She had a feeling that Namine would do something to her while we were blindfolded", Sora said silently, holding back the tears of pain in himself.
"Huh?" Riku asked.
"I told her that as long as I was behind her and she wasn't first, nothing would happen. And look what happened? If I would have only taken off the stupid blindfold when "Kairi" told me not to. It's all my fault!", Sora buried his head in his hands.
"Pull it together, Sora. You're tougher than that. Kairi wouldn't blame you for what happened"
Sora took a deep breath and looked at Riku with confident eyes, still gleaming with a few tears.
"What happened to Kairi is not your fault. It was all Namine's. Even though you think that you were the one that let Namine get to Kairi; it's not. You tried your best to protect her, and Kairi must be thinking the same thing. You would never do anything to hurt Kairi", Riku gave him a big friendly smile; one that was extremely rare from Riku and would only give it to his closest friends.
This made Sora smile wide and made fists on his sides. "You're right. It's all Namine's fault! Now let's go get Kairi!" Sora said confidently and ran, but Riku grabbed onto his collar again.
"Make up your mind, Riku!", Sora pouted.
"Not now, you dumb butt. We should go when you, me, and Jasmine are prepared and ready to fight", Riku said.
"But…oh fine. That way there's no way we can't get Kairi, destroy Kikyo, and give Namine a taste of her own evil medicine", Sora gave in.
"Good boy, you get a Scooby Snack", Riku patted his head.
"Oh shut up", Sora crossed his arms and smirked.
"Riku! Did you tell Sora?" Jasmine came running from the side.
"Yeah and thank god you didn't see the waterworks", Riku grinned.
Sora punched his arm hard, "Shut up!"
"Ow, geez", Riku rubbed his arm.
Jasmine smiled, but after a small while turned back into a serious face. "So, what are we gonna do? We shouldn't just sit here".
"See? I told you Riku! We have to go find Kairi now", Sora exclaimed impatiently, crossing his arms.
"Use your heads, you guys. We can't get 'expelled' from here because we don't want to get grounded forever and we'll have the risk of not getting Kairi. Imagine what her parents will say. We have to wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow is free period; during free period we'll go and find Kairi", Riku explained.
"I guess you're right", Sora agreed.
"Yeah, and in the meanwhile we should rest up and get ready for a big fight with Namine and even Kikyo", Jasmine suggested.
"Oh, I can't wait for that fight. Sweet revenge", Riku grinned.
"For taking Kairi?" Jasmine asked.
"That and because she beat him at sword fighting", Sora explained with a grin.
"Shut up, you dope!" Riku blushed in embarrasment. Jasmine giggled at his reaction.
"Pay back for saying that I cried", Sora smirked.
"Fine, we're even", Riku growled.
"Hey guys", a voice said from behind them. They froze at her voice and regret to turn around.
Namine stood in between Sora and Riku. "What's up?"
The three stared in disbelief but then glared at her.
"What? Did Riku tell you that I beat him. Come on, Riku. Don't be a sore loser. Can't you be more like Sora?" Namine grinned and lightly hit Sora's hip with hers. Sora cringed at contact.
"Namine, stop your crappy act. We know you have Kairi; you had her keyblade", Riku growled angrily.
"Riku, I don't know what you're talking about. You really should stop making excuses. Sora, will you take me to my 3rd period?" Namine fluttered her eyelids at him.
Sora was about to yell out his no, but nothing came out. He stared at her eyes in shock. At first they were normal clear-blue, but then she saw grey swirls slowly forming. Sora felt his control fall; he couldn't think anymore.
"O-…Ah-…Yes", Sora had no control of himself! He was in panic inside! She was controlling him!
"Sora!" Riku yelled in disbelief.
Jasmine saw as Sora's deep blue eyes started to become dull and a little colorless. Jasmine stared in disbelief and then turned to Namine's eyes.
"Jasmine, let me tell you one of the ways that evil can take control of you", a younger Leon started.
"They can take control over you?" Jasmine's 11 year old self asked.
"Yes, and I want you to be prepared for anything. You can tell when one is going to take control of you, you know that. I taught you that, but there's one type of evil that can take control of you without anyone knowing", Leon said.
"How can you tell if someone is being taken over, then?" she asked.
"Whenever you see that one is acting different, you first check the eyes of the person. If it starts to lose color and lose its shine, then the person is starting to be controlled. When you see that, you have to immediately knock the person down and make sure that they're not near the one causing the control", Leon explained.
"I get it", she nodded.
"And if you're not 100 sure, you check the eyes of the one looking into the one that is acting weird. If their eyes have black around, then you know it's real", Leon finished.
"Sora! Don't look into her eyes anymore!" Jasmine yelled and ran at him, making him fall to the ground with her head on his chest from the fall.
Jasmine looked into his eyes to see they're color regaining as well as the shine. Sora gasped loudly when he had full control of himself again. Jasmine sighed in relief and helped him up.
"Is this how you get guys to like you?" Jasmine pushed Namine aggresively.
"Shut up, bitch. I am stronger than you and if I want Sora, I get him", Namine spat.
"If you think that kidnapping my girlfriend is going to get me to go out with you, you must be crazy! Why would I want to date a lunatic like you who goes around and turns into the dark side just to get a guy?" Sora spat, getting up from the ground.
"What about killing your stupid girlfriend, Sora? Will that work?" Namine asked with an evil grin.
"If you or anything you send give her at least a scratch, I swear I will kill you! And I will not hold back!" Sora yelled with anger in his veins.
"Ok, I won't do anything to her, but you have to give me something in return", Namine grinned as she stepped back two steps.
"Sora…" Jasmine called a little nervous. She knew that whatever she wanted with Sora, it was going to be bad.
"What do you want? A date with him?" Riku asked sarcastically.
"Of course I'd like a date with Sora. But that't not the deal I'm going to give you right now. I can do that on my own. What I want…" Namine's eyes showed nothing but pure confidence and evil.
"…What I want…" she repeated.
"…Is your keyblade, Sora"
"Ha! Like I'll ever give you my keyblade!" Sora exclaimed.
"It's that or Kairi will have her last breath", Namine smiled innocently.
"Shut up Namine! He couldn't even give it to you if he wanted to!" Jasmine spat.
"What do you mean? Of course he can. Stop stalling", Namine glared.
"It's true. The keyblade can only be wielded by its chosen one. And that's me. Look, try and use it, Jasmine", Sora took out his keyblade and gave it to Jasmine.
He took a few steps back next to Riku. Jasmine lifted it up and was about to swing it down, until the keyblade disappeared with a light and came back to Sora's hand.
"It only choses the one with the strongest heart. You'd never have that" Riku smirked.
"You haven't even seen my true power yet. We'll see who has the strongest heart. Sora, you have to make up your mind. If you don't bring me the keyblade by tomorrow at exactly 8 PM, Kairi goes bye-bye"
"No, not tomorrow; let's finish this now, Namine!" Riku yelled and took out his keyblade.
"Sora, I don't want to fight you. The keyblade's a heavy burden anyway. I don't think it would be much to let it go. I'll see you tomorrow", Namine blew a kiss before she was swallowed by the black portal behind her. All they saw in front of them was a black portal closing and disappearing. Riku growled angrily and stomped his foot to the ground really hard.
"Sora, are you ok?" Jasmine asked, making sure that Namine didn't leave anything bad in Sora.
"Yeah. Like I'll ever give up the keyblade. We'll fight for Kairi; I dont need to give her the keyblade...she was trying to control me at first, right?" Sora asked.
Jasmine nodded.
"How did you know? I thought Sora was being a complete idiot like usual", Riku said.
"Yeah, I- hey!" Sora argued.
"When I was younger and the Heartless came around showing up, Leon started to teach me everything about evil magic and all those things. I remember that the last thing he taught me was how someone can control you. And if I remember clearly, Leon said that the 'eye manipulation', which is what Namine used, is one of the most powerful ones. No ordinary person can do that. This is the real deal", Jasmine explained.
"So much for, 'Honey, I don't want you stressing at camp. It's supposed to make you relax. You've been really tense lately'", Sora mocked his mother's voice.
Riku still couldn't take in the fact that she was Leon's sister. They were so different. Well actually, if you were to put Leon and Jasmine side-by-side, you would say they look alike. Yet, their personalities are completely different. Leon hardly ever laughs or smiles truly. He's always on his guard and is not very social. Jasmine, on the other hand, is extremely social. She acts as though there was nothing wrong with the world. He liked that about her; she was so calm and peaceful.
"Riku?" Jasmine's voice rang through his ears.
"Huh? Oh yeah, come on guys. We gotta go to 3rd period", Riku smiled and ran with his two friends to 3rd period.
The Next Day… (I had to make it quick, sorry, hehe)
Riku, Sora, and Jasmine stood at the entrance of the woods. They seemed to look darker than usual. The leaves weren't their usual ever-green color, the green was almost like black. This didn't scare them, though. They were determined to find Kairi.
"Ok, are you guys ready?" Riku asked.
Sora nodded and the keyblade appeared in his outstretched hand, in a fighting stance.
"Yeah, whatever it takes"
Jasmine thrust her hand out and the keyblade with butterfly decorations on it appeared in her ready hands. Riku took his out in an instant and was in a fighting stance.
"There are bound to be many Heartless and Nobodies. I hope the training we did this morning will pay off", Jasmine said, determination in her voice.
"Just like old times, huh Riku? We gotta take out the small fry before we get to the heart of the evil. Let's go!" Sora exclaimed and the three ran into the woods.
As they ran with all their might, they slashed through Heartless; the pink hearts rising up into the sky.
"Huh? No Nobodies. Makes it a lot easier" Riku smirked as he slammed his blue and red keyblade on four Heartless.
They went deeper into the woods, feeling stronger and more confident on finding Kairi. They could feel her close in their hearts. They could also sense the amount of darkness approaching as they ran deeper and deeper.
"You think we'll have to take down Kikyo before Namine?" Jasmine asked, slashing a Heartless.
Sora was about to answer, when another voice answered for him.
"Of course you will, my child, but I'm afraid you won't be able to 'take me down'"
The trio stopped to look at their enemy; the one known as Kikyo with Nobodies and Heartless by her side.
"I see that you came to give me the keyblade, yes?" Kikyo grinned.
"What? As if, you old hag (she was really young, but Sora's random, lol). I came to get Kairi. Namine wouldn't give her to us so we're here to take her by force", Sora stood in a fighting stance, as well as his friends beside him.
Kikyo laughed with a throaty voice that sent chills down their spines.
"All right, I've been waiting to have a good fight with someone anyway. I hope you were prepared to enter a world of nightmares", Kikyo grinned and stood in a fighting position as well as for her Heartless and Nobodies.
The trio yelled in unsion and ran with anger and rage at the possessed girl, ready to slash swords until every last Heartless and Nobody was gone and the girl was put to rest permanently.
Somewhere around camp…
He wished he didn't follow Namine around the corner…
He wished he could've told her before she walked towards DVD production…
Oh how he wished he wasn't so nosy and listened to the conversation that Namine had with the three friends…
And how he pleaded to anyone who was listening to his thoughts that what he saw didn't happen…
Namine was now part of the dark side. He didn't know what this keyblade stuff was about, but he knew it was a deep secret he should never have figured out. Of course, he will never tell. Riku, Sora, Kairi, and Jasmine must be light…Namine must be dark now.
No, it can't be, he thought. Namine was always light. You can tell because the dark side changed her. If she was already dark, would her appearance have changed? Of course not. That is why he had to do it.
Oh how he pleaded that, as he stared into the woods where the trio entered and with two long swords in his hands, that he would stop them from hurting Namine. The light…the light of his world…the light of Roxas' world.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Now there's BIG anger between the light and dark. Now here I go with my random questions I know you won't answer and I only ask so that you can send reviews and wait for the next one, mwahahahahaha:
Who'll win the battle; Kikyo or the three heros? And we haven't heard from Kairi, is she still unconscious? Will the heros have to fight Namine? Will Roxas be there in time to stop Sora? WILL THIS FICTION EVERY TURN INTO A HAPPY ENDING?
You'll find out in the next chappie; the big climax of the story. Send in reviews, no flames!
