Hey guys! So, basically I started writing this chapter around noon, and I didnt really stop until I was finished. It just went really well. I'm planning on a new mini series about Roxas, Axel, and Xion. Dont know when it's gonna be out, but I plan for it to be five chapters long at the longest. Three if it's the shortest.
I also have planned for the next chapter of this to be released on Valentines day, which also happens to be Violet's birthday. We'll be seeing a time skip to that point which should be a few months from this point. So yeah, that's when the next chapter should be out of this. Hope you enjoy, and tell me your thoughts!
-Aftermath-
"Zen, could you come in here, and help me out?" Rose asked. She was currently in the kitchen, cooking some lunch for the two of them. Rose had long, dark red hair to her mid back, bright blue eyes, and slightly tanned skin. She was a few years older than Zen, currently going to a university for magic in Virtuoso City.
"Sure thing sis." Zen answered simply, as he got up from a couch in the living room. He walked into the kitchen. "What do you need?" Zen asked.
"Get some plates, and all that out." Rose ordered him, he nodded, and obeyed her. Getting two plates from the cabinet, just as the doorbell rang. "Go answer that please." Rose said, Zen nodded. Zen walked through the house, and opened the front door to see his parents, and Vani standing on the other side. He smiled brightly at them all.
"Hey, mom, dad, Vani. What're you guys doing here?" Zen asked, Fiona just smiled and hugged her son.
"We came to see you and your sisters." Fiona answered, Zen smiled and hugged her back. Before he let them all inside and closed the door.
"Who is it?" Rose asked from the kitchen.
"Mom, dad, and Vani." Zen answered her, going into the kitchen. The three adults followed him. Rose turned and saw her parents, smiling at them, and Vani. Who was looking around, sniffing something in the air.
"How's my oldest doing?" Zack asked, Rose shrugged.
"Making some lunch before I have to leave." Rose answered, Fiona looked at her.
"You're leaving?"
"I have a class in about an hour. What are you guys doing here?" Rose asked, Zack smiled, and hugged his oldest daughter, she smiled, and returned the gesture.
"Just visiting." He answered. Vani looked over at them.
"Sir, if I may have a moment?" Vani asked, Zack nodded, and followed Vani to the other room.
"What is it?" Zack asked, seriously. It must have been somewhat important for Vani to interrupt them like that.
"I caught a scent of Tyler here, as well as Tanner, and Miranda." Vani told him, Zack nodded. "Specifically here, I mean. Within a few days."
"Now, why would they be here?" Zack wondered aloud, Vani shrugged.
"I have no idea. But, I would like to investigate, around the town, if that is alright with you?" Vani asked, Zack nodded.
"That's for the best. We'll be fine here. Anything happens we'll call you back." Zack said, Vani nodded, and headed for the door. Her work never seemed to end, but she didn't mind. She was devoted to making sure Zack, and in turn, his family stayed safe, and alive. Any possible threat was to be snuffed out, and eliminated.
-Aftermath- Unknown World-
"I've never been off world before! At least, not without my parents, and that was when I was a kid! How are we gonna get back?" Violet asked, distraught. Kya just hummed, as she looked around.
"I… I don't know Violet." Kya told the blonde, who hung her head, and sat on the ground, defeated. Kya looked down at Violet, and bit her lip, crouching down to her level. "Violet, look at me." Kya ordered, the blonde looked at her with tear filled eyes.
"What are we gonna do?" Violet asked, she was panicking. This was bad, she didn't like this. She wanted her parents.
"Calm down. I've been trained for this. Now, I promise you, we'll both get back, but I need you to be calm. No more loud outbursts. There could be wild animals, angry natives, even heartless, and nobodies around. So, just keep calm, and listen to me." Kya ordered, Violet nodded. Kya looked around, before standing up.
"You we're trained for this?" Violet asked, Kya nodded.
"Just in case I got stranded on a world, all alone. Come on." Kya said, holding her hand out to Violet. The blonde took it, and Kya pulled her up. "We need to find someplace of shelter. I don't know how cold the nights get here. A cave would probably be best for us, in case of rain."
"Lead the way…" Violet said, rather pathetically. Kya nodded, and started off down a hill. Violet followed her, as they descended down into a forest.
"I noticed while we were up there that we're near a swamp on our left side. We could follow the streams to see can find any natural water to drink. We could always use magic, but we need to stay prepared."
"Where are we though? How did we even get here?" Violet asked, Kya shrugged.
"I don't know Violet. You used the book, trying to get us out of there. Apparently, it worked. Though, theres a couple problems with that theory alone." Kya said, Violet looked up at her.
"Like what?"
"First off, worlds don't just pop up on top of one another. Second, Hake would be here too, since he was right in front of us. Three, if we were just in another world, you would have that book with you still." Kya pointed out, Violet nodded.
"I'm so sorry Kya…" Violet said.
"Why?"
"Because if I hadn't been stupid we would still be at the school. I should've just left you alone."
"Shut up." Kya ordered her, Violet looked at her a bit hurt at the firmness in Kya's voice.
"What?"
"Shut up Violet. Hake was obviously waiting, he would've been there regardless. If you weren't there, or you didn't do what you did. I'd probably be dead, so just shut up with your apologies." Kya told her, Violet just nodded her head.
The two walked until it was well into the night, before Kya found what she was looking for. A small cave. Kya walked with a magical fire in her hand, illuminating the area around the two. Kya turned to Violet, who still looked guilty, and sad, Kya let out a sigh.
"Stop moping around Violet. You did nothing wrong." Kya ordered, Violet nodded simply as Kya let her into the cave. Violet sat on the ground, and leaned against the stone wall of the cave, pulling her knees to her chest. Kya sighed.
"I'm scared Kya." Violet said, Kya nodded.
"I know Violet. Just stay put while I get some firewood. I'll be right back." Kya said, before she left the cave. Violet just shook her head. About thirty minutes later Kya returned with some firewood. She was using her Keyblade and conjuring a magnet spell to keep all the wood in place, while holding the magical fire with her other hand.
"How can you act so sure about all this?" Violet asked, Kya shook her head as she put the firewood on the ground, and dismissed her Keyblade. Kya arranged the wood, and lit it with a fire spell. Finally sitting next to Violet, once she was sat down, she answered the blonde.
"Like I said. I'm trained for this. It doesn't hurt that I've got a purpose either."
"What purpose is that?" Violet asked miserably, Kya just looked over at her.
"Keeping you safe. Making sure you get back to your world, and to your parents." Kya said, Violet looked over at her, with a smile. Glad she was looking out for her, but something was bothering her.
"What about you?"
"What about me?" Kya asked, Violet put her hand over Kya's.
"Well, you're here too. We're here together. Don't you have anyone to get back to?" Violet asked, Kya shook her head.
"No. I'm on my own in Virtuoso City. No one's missing me." Kya said, Violet shook her head, and scooted a bit closer to her.
"I would miss you." Violet said, Kya nodded. Violet looked away, and smiled a bit, leaving her hand on top of Kya's. Violet shivered quickly, taking her hand away. Kya looked over at her.
"Something wrong?" Kya asked, Violet shrugged.
"I'm a little cold." Violet answered, Kya hummed, and scooted closer to Violet, wrapping her arm around the blonde, pulling her against her body. "Um… What…" Violet asked.
"Just relax Violet, and don't read too much into this, body heat is essential to survival, so just enjoy it." Kya said, Violet smiled, and pulled herself closer to Kya's body, nearly sitting in her lap at this point.
"What are we gonna do?" Violet asked, Kya shrugged.
"Survive, until we can find a way out of here." Kya said, Violet nodded. "We should probably get to sleep. Normally, in this situation, one of us should take watch, but I don't think anything threatening is nearby." Kya said, Violet nodded.
Kya and Violet laid down, far enough from the fire not to get burned, but not far enough to be too cold. Kya was holding Violet with her back to a cave wall, and Violet facing the fire. Violet smiled, as she pulled Kya's arm around her waist.
"This is nice. Like, I haven't had this in a while, so it's nice to be this close to someone." Violet said, with a smile. Kya just hummed.
"This is just for survival Violet."
"I know, but I like this. Being held, I never got to be the smaller spoon, I was always the big one." Violet said, Kya gave her a look.
"Spoon?" Kya asked, Violet nodded.
"This is called spooning." Violet said, Kya hummed.
"Why?"
"I don't know…" Violet paused. "But I like this, and I like that I feel safe and secure with you, in your arms."
"I don't know why anyone would choose to sleep like this. It seems like it would be uncomfortable. What if one, or both of us move, wouldn't that mess up the whole thing? And I don't know what to do with my other arm." Kya said, Violet smiled.
"Rest your head on it, that's what I do. Or wrap it around me, and pull me closer. Your choice… Are you uncomfortable at all?" Violet asked, Kya shook her head.
"Not at all. I'm fine, you're small and light."
"Don't call me small." Violet replied, Kya smiled slightly, glad that Violet was still trying to keep her humor, despite the situation. Violet was the first to fall asleep, safe in Kya's arms.
The next day, Kya and Violet were exploring the surrounding area together, they had found a stream, and some trees with fruit on them. Surprisingly enough the fruit was edible, and filling.
"This is kinda nice. Despite being in a different world, without my parents… I'm enjoying this." Violet said, as she was running her fingers through the water. She had taken her hoodie off, and was just in her tank top.
"Why?" Kya asked, as she looked around, the blonde just smiled up at her.
"I like the company I'm with." Violet told her, Kya hummed, and looked down at Violet. She looked so peaceful, and… even beautiful in a way, just sitting there enjoying herself. Kya caught herself and blushed slightly. She wasn't seriously thinking that, was she?
While the two were in the world, they decided to make the most of it. Trying to have a good time together, and for the most part they did. Kya started teaching Violet survival skills, and Violet actually listened to her, and took her seriously. The laughed together, and overall had a good time.
At the end of the first week, Violet and Kya were lying down in the cave they had found. Kya and Violet had fashioned a slightly more comfortable bed of leaves, and foliage to lay on, while also covering the cave entrance, and exploring it more thoroughly. There wasn't much to it, it just sort of ended at a dead end.
"You know… I'm actually having fun here. Like, it kind of sucks to be away from my family, but I really like spending time around you, and getting to know you better." Violet said. Kya nodded.
"I know Violet. I never thought I'd enjoy your company as much as I do. To be honest you're kind of irritating." Kya said, Violet smiled at her.
"I know I am. You can be a bitch at times." Violet said, Kya nodded. Violet shifted, and laid her head on Kya's shoulder. Kya smiled, as he hand automatically went to the blonde's head and pulled her closer, pressing their bodies together. Violet ran a finger over Kya's abs.
"It tickles when you do that." Kya said, Violet smiled, and moved her fingers faster, and faster, causing the Guardian of Light to smile, and eventually let out a laugh, and that was music to Violet's ears.
"You actually laughed!" Violet exclaimed happily, causing the smile on Kya's face to be replaced with a blank look as the blonde studied her face. "Holy shit you can laugh!" Violet exclaimed, Kya glared at her, and pushed her head back down, so it was resting comfortably on her shoulder once again.
"Shut up and go to sleep Violet." Kya ordered, Violet smiled, and nuzzled her head into Kya's neck, causing the Guardian of Light to smile to herself, hoping that Violet couldn't see it.
"You know… It was never like this with Emma. When we were friends." Violet said, Kya hummed.
"What was it like?" Kya asked, Violet shook her head, and closed her eyes.
"It was always a fight. I always had to watch what I said. She was so fucking sensitive. I could barely be myself. It was good, but it was because I had to adjust to her standards. I kind of hated how I had to change to please her." Violet said, Kya shook her head.
"I may not always like hearing it Violet, but I would never have you change. To me, you're perfect just the way you are. Anyone who wont accept you as you are is despicable." Kya said, Violet smiled, and pulled herself closer to Kya.
"You always seem to know what to say to make me feel better." Violet said, Kya smiled. The two of them drifted to sleep, of course, Violet was the first, but Kya was close behind her.
For the next week the two adopted a pattern, and seemed to be getting closer, and closer. Violet even got Kya to laugh a couple more times. Kya was learning how to relax, and Violet was happy to teach her new things about enjoying life without the purpose of working for a faction.
At the end of their second week in the world, Kya had agreed to let Violet teach her a few new dances, when they were watching the sunset on the same hill they had arrived at. By the time they had started the purple, and red hues had taken over the landscape in a breathtaking view for the two girls.
"Like this?" Kya asked, taking a few tentative steps, still unsure of herself, Violet smiled and shook her head, adjusting Kya's hands for a moment before showing her how it was done.
"Just like that, okay. Now, you lead." Violet said, Kya gave her a look, as she began to lead Violet around.
"This seems so easy. It kind of is, but… I'm nervous… I'm never nervous." Kya said, Violet smiled.
"Just relax Kya. You're doing great. My first time learning this I ended up stepping on my mom's toes so much. She got so mad at me. Tried to ground me for a week, but my mother stepped in, and wouldn't allow it." Violet said, happily, Kya smiled before she noticed Violet's mood drop considerably at the mention of her parents.
"Are you okay?" Kya asked, Violet shook her head as tears came to her eyes. Kya bit her lip.
"I miss my parents… It's bee two weeks! I've never been away from them this long!" Violet exclaimed, staring to panic, but not stopping her movement. She couldn't, Kya wouldn't let her.
"I promised I'd get you back, didn't I?" Kya asked, Violet nodded as tears rolled down her cheeks. Kya raised a hand, and cupped Violet's face, wiping some tears away with her thumb. The blonde smiled slightly.
"Yeah, and I believe you… I'm just sad." Violet said, Kya nodded, before she smiled, and began to move faster, swinging Violet with her. Violet was surprised but began laughing as the Guardian of Light pushed, and pulled her at will. Eventually, Kya pulled the blonde against her, and dipped her. Violet holding onto Kya, but trusting her enough to not let her fall.
"Don't be sad Violet. You're with me, and I don't want to see you like that." Kya said, Violet nodded and listened to her. Looking up at Kya, the two had been dancing for a while, Violet looked past Kya to see the sky, stars shining bright.
"Kya… Can we lay down and look at the stars?" Violet asked, Kya nodded, and pulled Violet up, before they both laid down in the grass next to each other, and stared up at the stars together. Violet smiled, as did Kya.
"It's beautiful." Kya said, Violet nodded.
"My favorite time has always been the night. I would go out, and lay on the roof of my house, and enjoy the night air, staring up at the stars just like this. It's nice to have company though." Violet said, Kya nodded.
"It's always the same sky. No matter which world, the one things that's the same is that sky. I've never taken the time to do this… But, I'm glad I'm here with you." Kya said, Violet smiled. The blonde was just enjoying the view, when it was blocked by a curtain of white hair, at the center was Kya's face.
"Kya?" Violet asked, before the Guardian of Light leaned down, and pressed her lips against Violets. When Kya pulled away, she bit her lip, and sat up. Violet got up, and looked over at her.
"I'm sorry." Kya said, Violet just gave her a look.
"Why?" Violet asked, placing her hand over Kya's, causing her to flinch, before she let Violet hold her hand.
"That was random, and out of nowhere." Kya said, Violet smiled at her.
"That's one a reasons I know you meant it." Violet said, Kya gave her a confused look.
"What do you mean?" Kya asked.
"Usually spontaneous actions like that are the best bet. Especially with someone as spontaneous as I am." Violet said, Kya looked confused for a moment.
"So… You liked it?"
"Of course! I mean, your technique could use some work, but that actual kiss isn't important. What's important to me is the meaning behind it. I know that it took a lot out of you to do that, I know you wouldn't have done it unless you were sure, and the fact that you are means so much to me." Violet said, Kya looked at her.
"But I'm still not sure. I've never felt like this before, and… It's strange." Kya said, Violet nodded.
"We can take it slow. I don't want to pressure you into anything." Violet said, Kya nodded.
"One thing I am sure about is that these two weeks have been great, and fun actually. Despite the situation." Kya said, Violet nodded, and scooted closer to her, leaning her head on her shoulder.
"Take your time with this, we'll only advance when you're ready." Violet said, Kya nodded, and smiled. The two watched the stars together for thirty more minutes or so, just talking. Violet went into detail about her relationships, with Zen, and with Emma. Kya explained her training to Violet.
The two returned to their cave to sleep, to find that someone was already inside. Kya, and Violet summoned their Keyblades when they saw the figure. Their back was to the girls, and a large book was lying on the bed of leaves and foliage the girls had made.
"I would put those away girls. Especially you, Little Hart." The man said, Violet's eyes widened, as she dismissed her Keyblade. It was Tyler.
"Uncle Tyler!" Violet exclaimed, Tyler nodded and turned around. Kya, seeing as how Violet knew who he was, dismissed her Keyblade. Violet ran forwards, and hugged her uncle, wrapping her arms around his neck, he spun her around quickly before placing her back on the ground.
"What are you doing here?" Kya asked, Tyler motioned to the book as Violet let go of him.
"I found that book. We can get out of here now." Tyler said, Violet and Kya looked confused.
"How?" Violet asked, Tyler smirked.
"You're in another world, you have to have gathered that by now right?" Tyler asked, Violet and Kya nodded. "Well, you're not just in another world, you're inside the Book of Prophecies." Tyler told them.
"Did my parents send out a search party?" Violet asked, Tyler shook his head.
"No. Because they don't know you're gone. Time passes differently while you're inside of the World inside the Book. You've barely been gone for two hours. While in here, you've been living in here for two weeks, am I right?" Tyler asked, Violet nodded.
"How do you know this?" Kya asked, he smirked.
"It's happened to me before. Once you're inside of a world inside the Book, the only way to escape is through the book itself. It's usually in the center of the world, most commonly in a temple. I found the book on the outside world, traveled inside, and found the copy of the book in here. So we can all get out of here." Tyler said, Violet, and Kya looked at each other.
"Where's Hake?" Violet asked, Tyler shook his head.
"I ran him off. You were safe, because Hake couldn't destroy the book, and didn't know how to get inside. Now, are you two ready to leave?" Tyler asked, Violet looked towards Kya, who nodded happily.
"I'm ready to leave." Violet muttered, Tyler nodded, and grabbed the book. He read off a quick incantation, before a bright light filled the cave.
-Aftermath- Virtuoso City-
When the light cleared, Violet, Tyler, and Kya were standing back in the forest clearing in Virtuoso City. Tyler was holding the book, just as Vani dropped down from a tree branch. Staring at Tyler suspiciously.
"Hey Vani, long time no see!" Tyler greeted her, Vani just nodded, and looked at the book in his hands.
"Why do you have that? How did you find it?" Vani asked, Tyler smirked.
"I didn't. These two did." Tyler answered, Vani's eyes drifted over to Violet and Kya. Vani hummed.
"Where did you find it?" Vani asked, Kya glared at her. She didn't know this woman, and she looked like a typical darkness user, Kya wasn't going to tell her anything. That's what she thought of course, but for some reason she found herself blurting out the truth anyways.
"We found it in that tree. I was looking for it because the leader of the Guardians of Light asked me to find it." Kya admitted against her will, stopping, and blinking. "Wait, I didn't mean to say that, what is this?" Kya asked, as Vani chuckled.
"You cant hide anything from me. All your lies, and deceptions are always revealed. You try to hide anything, and you admit everything. Like it or not." Vani informed her, Tyler nodded.
"Vani here, has the power to blow away all lies and deceptions. It's been damn effective too." Tyler said, Kya remembered something now.
She had heard about Vani. She used to be an assassin working for the Children of Darkness, before she left suddenly, and joined up with the Protectors of Balance. Kya had been warned to never try to lie to Vani because she would end up spilling her secrets regardless.
"I would like to speak to Tyler now. Tyler give the book to Kya so she can complete her mission please." Vani requested, Tyler nodded and handed it to the Guardian of Light.
"I was supposed to get the book for him anyways. Guess she was the backup. Tell him I helped please?" Tyler asked, before he and Vani left. Kya just stared after them, as Violet smiled, and hugged her. Kya wrapped her arm around Violet's waist, as the blonde laughed.
"We're home!" Violet yelled in Kya's ear, causing the Guardian of Light to shove her away, Violet just gave her a confused look as Kya rubbed her ear.
"You screamed in my ear." Kya said simply, Violet smiled, and laughed.
"Sorry. Are you gonna come to class though?" Violet asked, Kya shook her head.
"No. I'm gonna go take a shower, and then a nap. I suggest you do the same. We lived in a cave for two weeks." Kya said, Violet nodded, and lifted her arm, sniffing, and physically recoiled at the smell. She did not smell good right now.
"Yeah. I think that's for the best… See you later Kya!" Violet exclaimed, before she tried to take off.
"Wait, Violet!" Kya called, causing the blonde to stop, and look at her, Kya walked up to Violet slowly and wrapped an arm around her, before pulling away, and kissing Violet once again.
"What was that for?" Violet asked, Kya smiled.
"As a reminder to see me first thing tomorrow. We have some things to talk about." Kya said, before she backed up, holding her nose. "Oh god, that's horrible."
"I don't smell good when I don't shower for two weeks. Bya Kya!" Violet exclaimed, before running off. Kya smiled after her before heading to her own house.
-Aftermath-
Okay, that's a wrap people. Next chapter should be on Valentines Day. Both in real life, and in this story. So, yeah. See you then guys!
