A/N: Pairings huh? I don't know, I haven't really thought about that, but it might happen, but then again it might not happen so don't get your hopes up. Okay, up during this week as I promised, and maybe another on Friday, I have Friday off! –smiles-

The Legend of the Keyblade

Chapter Sixteen: The Tournament

The Keybladers

"Are you okay? Why did you go off by yourself! You should have gotten us! We're a team!" Eden says in a rush.

Ivory looks away from her and shrugs. Jayson puts an arm around her shoulders and hugs her, she buries her head into his shoulder. Jayson had always thought of Ivory as more of a sister than anything, and it scared him, for the first time in a long time, they didn't know what the Organization wanted. She could've been dead, and he would have never forgiven himself.

"It doesn't matter we just need to go back to the Coliseum, and get signed up for the tournament that is in a few days," Jayson says diverting the topic smoothly.

"Oh, and I bet that Phil will train with us, we need it." Eden agrees with excitement. Jayson squeezes Ivory's shoulder and lets go of her.

"It should be excitin." Ivory says weakly.

"We'll be leaving after the tournament, I feel like we have spent to much time here already." Jayson says. Ivory and Eden nod their heads as they move to the stairs that lead out of the Underworld.

"Going somewhere?"

"Hades." Jayson says scathingly as he turns at the sound of his voice. Hades smiles and walks towards them.

"So what are you doing at my side of the world?" He asks politely, but menace was hidden behind his tone.

"Nothing we care to share with you." Eden says with a glare.

"Oh, I don't need you to tell me, it is my realm, I already know what happened, so what did happen, Ivory?" Hades lifts an eyebrow at them.

"Shut up Hades!" Ivory yells, Jayson looks at her in surprise. She takes a deep breath and seems to calm herself down.

"You're a God, you already know, or do you? Knowledge does not mean wisdom or understanding, you are a god but you don't understand anything really outside of death and the Underworld, your flaw, you don't understand mortals, because you aren't one." She says spitefully. Eden's mouth drops open and she nods, for she was saying something similar earlier. Hades glares at her.

"You little-"

"Hey! Your hairs out!" Jayson yells suddenly then sprints up the stairs with Eden and Ivory right behind him.

The Organization

"Demyx where were you?" Marluxia screeches.

"Not here?" He asks innocently. Zexion rolls his eyes and Marluxia turns red.

"That is obvious!" He seethes.

"Then why did you ask?" Demyx asks in confusion. Marluxia turns purple.

"Hey is that a vein throbbing in your temple Marly?" Axel asks.

"Hey his face matches his hair!" Demyx says.

"MY HAIR ISN'T PURPLE!!" Marluxia screams.

"We're sure that it isn't, but that doesn't matter we have more important things to do." Zexion cuts in smoothly.

"Like what?"

"Entering the tournament and capturing the Keyblade Wielders." Zexion replies.

The Keybladers

"What was he talking about?" Eden asks. Ivory shrugs.

"You were trapped right?" Jayson asks. Ivory shakes her head and wouldn't look at them.

"So they didn't have you trapped?" Eden asks. Ivory looks at her for a moment before answering.

"Yes, and well no."

They look at her in surprise.

"What do you mean? You either were or weren't?" Jayson says slowly.

"Well, one of the Organization members got a hold of me, but he wouldn't give me over to his comrades, he just wanted to talk to me. It was really weird." She says quickly.

"Okay." Eden says. Jayson looks at her, he knew that wasn't it.

"What else?" Jayson asks.

"And, I could have left, but I didn't, and when I did I realized I was lost so yeah, and then you found me." She shrugs. Eden looks at her angrily.

"You were hanging out with the enemy?!" She says incredulously.

"I was not! Jayson! I wasn't!" Ivory says pleadingly.

"Whatever it doesn't matter and it never will matter." Jayson says and walks into the Coliseum. Eden and Ivory look at his back in surprise at how calm he sounded, but on the inside Jayson just wanted to scream and leave.

Later in the Week

"The tournament is today!" Hercules says with a smile. Jayson nods as he sits down next to him.

"You haven't talked a lot." He says casually. Jayson shrugs.

"Nothing to talk about."

"Not even to your friends?"

"Maybe." Jayson says slowly.

"Angry?" jayson looks at him and realizes that he really wasn't.

"No."

"Then, what?"

"I have a feeling that maybe we aren't meant to do this, or that maybe it was supposed to be me. It was only supposed to be one of us. And this isn't the only world that hasn't changed. What if there is something that we are missing completely?" Jayson says.

"Like what?"

"What if this isn't real?" Jayson forces out.

"Of course this is real!" Hercules says in surprise. But what Jayson truly want to say was, what if we aren't real?

"Come on you kids, we got a tournament to do!" Phil yells. Jayson stands up and stretches. He moves to the inside of lobby and waits for their time to come up.

The Organization

"I can't believe that we missed the sign ups!" Zexion seethes, another one of his brilliant plans ruined.

"Well if you didn't take so long." Marluxia says with venom.

"Be quite! I am your superior! An me being here also means that I am in charge. Besides you idiots take forever to get your acts together.

"HEY!" Demyx and Axel yell. Marluxia and Zexion scowl at each other.

The Keybladers

They won the tournament, but barely, they found out Hercules was their last challenger and they almost lost, because he's immortal. Jayson waved at Hercules and the others one last time before getting on the ship last. Jayson steps on and sees that Ivory is going to drive. She smiles at him, Eden and Ivory had made up already, and Jayson was never angry so it didn't matter.

"Where are we going?" She asks quietly. It was strange she had become even more quiet, like when they first met. Jayson looks down at the map.

"Port Royal." He says finally as he moves away and into his room on the ship.

A/N: I'm really proud of myself, I have been able to stay on the course that I have been going with this, and I am sorry for the lack of updates, but I have been really busy, and reviewless –sighs- Okay, I might do something drastic if I don't get reviews, they make me happy, and I like tips and advise, they are helpful. Oh, and most likely no parings, for now, I just haven't really thought about that yet. Okay enough that. Most likely my next update will be Friday! Toodles! –waves-
