Kingdom Hearts: Slave of Love Revised

Ch.2 Meet Kairi

The sun shun down on the prosperous town of Radiant Garden. Its dark blue buildings gained an unearthly glow from the sun's rays as people began to fill the streets. All of them well dressed and in no apparent rush, simply taking the time to admire the view as they made their way through town.

Known for its great power, Radiant Garden was the home to all kinds of people. Most of them being called 'Specials' by others since they had the ability to use magic or any other sort of ability that wasn't available to a normal person. These 'Specials' were on the top of the food chain, their powers giving them a high status in the world.

Schools had been built in order to help students gain the knowledge for everyday living while going over their magic skills and helping them develop. There were four schools in Radiant Garden; Blossoming Garden High School, Radiant Future High School, The Radiant Magic Academy and finally Radiant Garden School of Special Arts.

Blossoming Garden was set up on the east side of town. Radiant Future took the west side. The Radiant Magic Academy had been placed on the south. And finally, Radiant Garden School of Special Arts had been set up on the northern part of town.

The Radiant School of Special Arts was famous for having a dormitory available for students that had busy parents. The school was apart from town, right behind a lush forest that could only be accessed by a single dirt road. This was the wealthier part of town, where larges homes were situated on the many hills that overlooked the town.

The building was made of dark blue stone, covered by a tall fence made of the same material. It had large gardens around the main building which was four stories long. The gardens led to tall circular buildings that stood on either side of the school, as to discourage any students sneaking around at night.

Students began to walk through the lush gardens. Wearing the school uniform which consisted of white buttoned up shirts with black slacks for guys while girls wore black skirts. A jacket was optional though many students chose to wear them.

A redheaded girl walked among the crowd. Her gaze held a defiant look as she looked at the building ahead.

"Today will be different," she muttered to herself, quietly enough as to not be heard by others.

Her grades hadn't been that great since she started attending school. It wasn't that she slacked off but between school and everyday chores, she just couldn't find the time to go through the piles of homework her teachers left her. It made her wish to have chosen regular classes instead of the advanced ones.

Her parents had pressured her into taking them and, even though she didn't feel capable, she had obviously agreed in the end. It was rare for her father to ask her for anything so she took it upon herself to make him proud.

"Kairi wait up!"

She heard a voice behind her. Kairi cast a look over her shoulder to see her friend Selphie running up to her with her hair looking a bit disheveled. She allowed herself a smile before turning back to the building ahead.

"Did you oversleep again?" Kairi asked with a light giggle.

"Yeah," was Selphie's instant reply as she tried to fix her hair. "I had to stay up last night doing homework. Why do they have to give us so much?" she complained as the two entered the main building.

It had the look of an average school though it was always spotless every new morning. Many students wondered how they managed to do it but the teachers simply said that they had good people cleaning after them.

"Did you get one yet?" Selphie asked once done fixing her hair.

Kairi let out a sigh before scowling. "Not yet. My father has been too busy lately and my brother Leon…" she stopped her explanation as soon as she noticed the dazed look on Selphie's face upon the mention of her brother. Sometimes she wondered why she even bothered with Selphie in the first place.

"Are you back yet?" Kairi asked with an annoyed look. Selphie snapped out of her thoughts before blushing with a sheepish smile on her face. "Anyway," the redhead continued, "There hasn't been anyone he approves of yet. I guess it'll still take some time but I don't really care about it anymore. Why do I even need one to begin with?"

"Of course you need one," Selphie argued before stomping her way in front of Kairi and pointing an accusing finger, "You've been doing everything by yourself all this time. If you get a slave then you'll be able to focus on you work and hang out with me."

"But, using them against their will-"

"Don't worry about it," Selphie waved her off, "It's not like they're kidnapped and forced to do it. They just take the criminals and give them the choice to be put in jail or serve one of us. Besides, it's not like they stay with us forever. They get to leave once their sentence is over."

"I know. I know," Kairi sighed out before casting a look at one of the clocks that hung on the hallways. She sped her pace knowing that it was getting late, "Let's get to class."

Two Radiant Garden officers learned against the wall of the large gate separating it from Hollow Bastion. They had just come out of a meeting and were simply passing the time since their shifts didn't start for another hour.

One of them had long brown hair that swept to the side of his face. He wore the standard officer uniform consisting of dark blue pants, a white undershirt and a dark blue jacket.

The other wore the same uniform but had spiky blond hair and sharp blue eyes. He glanced at the first officer before speaking, "Are you still having trouble with your sister?"

"We haven't found her a slave yet," the officer with brown hair began before his eyes narrowed, "And don't think about just fetching one Cloud. I'll have to analyze the slave first just to make sure that Kairi isn't hurt when I'm not around."

Cloud raised a brow, "You're a bit overprotective Leon."

Leon scoffed before crossing his arms. "Anyway, if you ever come across one make sure to tell me first," he turned back to Cloud, his mouth forming into a scowl, "I'll 'interview' them and see if they're good enough for her."

"Fine, I'll see what I can do but don't you think you're being too picky," Cloud pointed out.

Leon frowned, "I have to be. If I don't choose carefully Kairi could get hurt." He pulled on his jacket uncomfortably, "Dammit, I hate meetings. Why should we wear these things for them?"

"Calm down, we only have to wear this uniforms every once in a while," the blond officer said with a roll of his eyes, "Now, back on topic. Let's say you find one. How are you going to get him or her to work for Kairi? They can still choose to go to prison."

Leon only smirked evilly, "Just leave that to me."

"We're supposed to be the good guys, right?" Cloud muttered to himself.

The sun was high in the sky as Kairi made her way back to her dormitory. Now that classes were over she decided to get started on her homework as soon as she got back. She would need to push back her daily chores but she could fare for a day or two.

"Hey, if it's isn't Kairi."

Kairi hurried her pace while trying to ignore the black haired girl that had just said her name. She didn't want to deal with Tifa at the moment.

"Wait up! It's rude to just walk away like that," Tifa frowned as she jogged over to Kairi. The redhead said nothing as she kept a steady pace. "Why are you being so cold to me?" she asked in fake sadness, "Are we not friends anymore, Crappy Kairi?"

Kairi scowled at that but did her best to ignore the girl. Tifa had made it her objective to make her life hell since the beginning of school. She had no idea why Tifa had picked her out of the lot but was everything but glad of being the receiver of her constant 'bitching,' as she called it.

Tifa gritted her teeth before clamping her hand on Kairi's right shoulder. "Do you think you can just ignore me?" she growled.

Some students turned their attention to the one-sided argument. Confrontation between those two was no news to them but it was always interesting to watch.

"You must think that you're special just because of who your family is, but I assure you that you're nothing," Tifa tightened her grip on Kairi's shoulder, earning a yelp of pain from the redhead. She smirked, "You're nothing here. You're at the bottom of the class and don't even have a slave to do your dirty work. I guess your parents don't really care about you."

"That's enough!" A teacher approached the two girls. Her brown hair was kept in a bun while her sharp green eyes stared down the two girls, "I don't care what you have going on but you'll stop it now."

"Alright," Kairi responded a little awkwardly before resuming her walk back to her room. She needed to move fast if she wanted to avoid another confrontation with Tifa.

Selphie walked along the hallways of the dormitory with a large bag on hand. She made her way to one of the many wooden doors in the hallway before knocking.

A few moments later a girl with blond hair opened the door, rubbing one of her eyes while stifling a yawn, "… What is it?"

"Were you sleeping?" Selphie asked a bit skeptically. It was the middle of the day. Why would she be sleeping at a time like this?

The girl shook her head before throwing a hand in the air, "I was practicing my 'cute sleepy girl' routine."

"Oh," Selphie muttered sadly.

"What with that reaction?" the girl half-shouted with an embarrassed blush.

"I'm going over to Kairi's and was wondering if you wanted to tag along," Selphie informed, completely disregarding the previous question.

The girl rubbed her chin while closing her eyes in deep thought. "So you're asking the great Namine to your gathering…" she began. A smile formed on her face as her blue eyes opened only to widen in alarm when seeing Selphie walking away, "W-wait I'll go!"

"Alright," Selphie smiled.

Namine turned back to her room with a pensive look before glancing at Selphie, "… Just let me get a few things before I go."

"Okay?"

Kairi sighed as she went over her essay one more time. Six-hundred words needed to be written, no less and no more than ten words past the six-hundred mark, which meant that whatever point she was giving had to be quick and precise. Thankfully, it was the last assignment for the day and she only needed to go through it for any sort of spelling error she might have made. She planned on just relaxing the rest of the day and maybe do a bit of cleaning since her room was starting to get a bit messy.

"Seems good enough…" she muttered to herself after having only read a few sentences.

She couldn't help but stop reading over her paper. It was draining to do these assignments almost every day. Selphie and her other friends had it well since they took regular classes while she had been stuck in advanced ones. Sometimes she hated the weight her last name carried.

"Kairi you there?"

A voice, accompanied by a knock, caught Kairi's attention. She walked over to the door before undoing the locks on it. Almost immediately the door opened, Kairi quickly taking a step back and narrowly avoiding being hit by the wooden door.

"We're here," Selphie smiled as she and Namine entered the room.

Kairi looked a bit taken aback before frowning, "Wait. Why did you just barge into my room?"

Namine sat herself on Kairi's bed, holding the notebook she had brought from her room earlier. "So, what are we doing tonight?" she asked before opening the first pages of her notebook with a calm smile.

"Let's just talk for a while," Selphie proposed before making herself comfortable in the chair Kairi had just occupied.

Kairi let out a growl as her right eye twitched in annoyance. "Who?" she snarled, getting the attention of the two girls, "Who let you in here?"

Selphie waved Kairi off with a wave of her hand, laughing as she did so, "Calm down Kairi. We're friends so we should visit each other. It's the law."

Kairi prepared to respond but ended up stammering when seeing Namine fast asleep on her bed, "H-how..?"

"Just ignore her," Selphie muttered with a sigh.

"It's my new thing," Namine spoke with her eyes still closed, "'Sleepy Girl' is what I call it. It'll be what people recognize me for."

"R-right," Kairi let out in defeat.

She was glad her friends had come to visit but they always had a tendency to get into trouble. There were some times in which they had gotten detention because of one of Namine's 'things.'

"What are you doing?" she heard Selphie scream in panic.

A bit of smoke filled the room though at this point Kairi couldn't be bothered. She was done with her homework early for the first time in days. Having to worry about them would only end up giving her a headache.

"Stop worrying, it's nothing," Namine's calm voice was heard.

'Nope, I can't stop worrying,' Kairi told herself before glancing at her two friends. Namine had something really bright on her hand plugged into a wall with a bit of smoke trailing out of it while Selphie yelled at her, telling her that there would be a fire.

'This is going to be a long night…'

Ch.2 End

KH: Slave of Love Short

Namine

She's many things;

Odd

Namine looked up at the bright blue sky, her expression showing nothing but seriousness as she spoke firmly, "There is no... rainbow today."

Reflective

Namine stood before her classroom with a paper on hand.

"Well Namine, please read your essay to the class," the teacher spoke with a smile.

The blond girl looked at the class in determination before ripping her paper to shreds.

"There is no…" she began, the whole class looking at her in shock, "… There is no truth."

And of course

A fan of certain kinds of stories

All was quiet as Namine wrote on her notebook. Her expression was one of peace as her pencil led her hand into writing what she thought of as a master piece.

Selphie looked at her curiously before leaning over her shoulder to see what she was writing.

The teen with luscious blond locks looked up at the handsome prince sitting on top of his black stallion. His long black hair swayed with the wind as he jumped down from the powerful beast to stand in front of the younger teen.

"W-why are you so close?" the teen muttered with a hint of fear on his voice.

The prince smiled before placing a hand to the teen's chin, his frame shaking under the prince's touch. "Our relationship is one of…" he pulled of his shirt before smiling seductively, "Passion."

Selphie's face turned ten shades of red as she gaped at the paper, "Wh-wha… what?" she managed before anger overtook her features, "Stop writing that!"

That's the end of chapter two guys. Next chapter should come out on the usual schedule so no worries.

Anyway, thanks to those of you that took the time to read and I'll see you guys next time.
