It was sad. It was quiet. And so was Kairi.
She was completely worried about Sora, even if she had Roxas, who IS a part of him after all. So, during lunchtime, she decided to wander outside, and not eat anything. The maroon-haired girl sat down on an outdoor lunch table, just too guily of what of to be of Sora.
"I really hope he's okay." she whispered to herself, sighing as the wind passed by. She brushed some of that red hair out of her face, and closed her blue-violet eyes.
"Kairi?"
She whirled around, to whoever said her name. Her eyes searched around, "Who was that?" she asked. The voice was oddly familiar, though. It was like she hasn't heard it for a while now.
"I'm gone for a while, and you forget who I am?" he stepped out to greet her. Kairi's cerulean eyes widened.
"S-Sora?"
Now, what really appeared her was Sora, in fact, but he was all covered with a dark hue all over his body, everything blending in with his skin, and his eyes were devilishly glowing a bright yellow (It was basically Anti-Form).
But what she saw, and what truly appeared in front of her were two, TOTALLY different things. Kairi saw the real Sora. The one with the spikey, chocolate-coloured hair that, abnormally, defied gravity, and his pure, beryl eyes that gleamed with typical happiness. She didn't see this monster that was really in front on her.
The illusion did not cease. "Sora," she whispered in happiness. She then sprinted up to the hidden monstrosity, and embraced him tightly. "I'm so glad you're safe, Sora."
"I'm so glad I can see you again." the "Sora" replied, hugging her back. A wicked smile crept onto his dark-coloured face.
She let go. "What happened to you?"
"I...I was lost, in darkness." he answered Kairi's question with sincerity. "And I found my way back, because I missed you."
Kairi couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth. "Did you say...did you say that you missed me, Sora, did you?" The girl could feel her cheeks heat up, instantly.
"You heard me right, Kairi,"
"But...but you...Sora, I..." she stuttered uncontrollably. "I..."
"Kairi...do you love me?" it began to play mind games. Said girl had no response, except to stammer. Her blue-violet eyes hit the ground, unsure whether to look into his eyes.
"Sora, I-,"
"Don't do it, Kairi!" another voice shouted, interrupting Kairi. The two instantly turned to whoever was. The owner turned out to be Roxas.
"Roxas!" the girl gasped in surprise. "What're you doing?"
He kept an icy glare, and summoned his Keyblade: the Oathkeeper. "That Sora's a fake!" he told her. "Sora" glared back at Roxas.
"What?" she inquired. "What do you mean?"
The blond Nobody pointed his silver-coloured Keyblade at the illusion. "That's not Sora."
"Yes it is, Roxas," she argued with him. "Can't you see? The hair, the eyes? It's definately him!"
"What's your problem, Kairi? Can't you see? That is NOT SORA!"
"Yes, it IS!"
Roxas gave a scowl on his face. "If she's not gonna...wait. She could be caught in an illusion." he mumbled, keeping that diry look on his face. "If you're not gonna believe me, I'll just prove it!"
"Prove it!" the other one shouted, the "Sora".
The blue-eyed Nobody approached "Sora" in a very violent way: by slicing with his Keyblade. "Sora" took immediate action, and blocked the weapon with his hand. Kairi's eyes widened as the clang rang in her ears. She took a step back as Roxas jumped back, still holding the Oathkeeper in front of him. The fake Sora stood in a fighting stance, ready to take more from the Nobody.
"Is that the best you can do?" the yellow eyed "Sora" laughed at Roxas. "Such a shame that you were part of the Organization."
He remained with his icy-cold glare.
"Doesn't matter if I was a part of them. I'm not through with you yet!" he rebelled as he continuted to attack him. The other just continued to mock him as he doged every single swipe of the Oathkeeper. When he was wide open, he kicked Roxas right in the middle of his stomach. He let out a grunt as he hit the floor, grasping his stomach in pain.
"Really, now, I know you can do better than that," he continued to mock the blond Nobody.
"I told you, I'm not done!" he snapped back, angrily.
"You seem quite finished to me."
"I don't care!" he continued. "If I have to kill you to prove to Kairi you're fake, then I will!"
He sighed, and crossed his arms. "Such a stubborn Nobody, I see," he replied, simply.
Roxas got back up, and this time, summoned Oblivion in his other hand. "Let's go." he simply muttered as he began the attack once again.
"Are you just going to keep attacking me the same way? You're so predictable, Roxas, it almost makes me laugh."
The blond didn't say anything, and stood still with both Keyblades at hand. A heartless glare escaped his azure-coloured eyes, telling his "other" he was still ready to fight. He began to charge at him, but he merely maneuvered it with a leap to the air. And that's what Roxas used Overtaker.
He jumped up, following "Sora", and began to slash at him. Although, most of this was blocked by "Sora", which threw him off. As he landed safely back down, or began to, Roxas used Clear Light to knock him down to the ground using a cross-slash. "Sora" glared at him through glowing, putrid yellow eyes as he tried to get back up. Luckily, the Nobody stopped him by holding the tip of his Oblivion Keyblade to his face. The pretend Sora growled angrily at Roxas.
"Damn..." he mumbled under his breath, as Roxas replied with an evil smirk.
"You're not going to steal Kairi's heart," the blond commanded. "And I'll make sure of it."
"Try as you might, I'll get it." curtly, "Sora" said. "And I'll get it soon."
Kairi couldn't take it. She still hadn't seen through the illusion of the pretend Sora. Said pretend-to-be parried the ebony-coloured weapon out of Roxas's hands, and charged at him, but using the other Keyblade he had in hand, he pushed back; one hand on the handle, and other on the opposite side. They pushed against the Keyblade, trying to see who'd win. They were trying to see who was weaker.
As they continued, the sight of Sora began to frizz...like a computer, sorta. She could hear some classmates crowding around, saying "Is it me, or is that a key?", or "Why are the fading in and out?" Kairi heard somebody's familiar voice, "Kairi! What's going on?" It was Riku.
She blinked her eyes repeatedly at the sight of the dark-coloured Sora, ignoring Riku's question, but when she rubbed her eyes, the normal image appeared. Luckily for "Sora", Kairi wasn't paying attention to their conversation. She felt tears come up on her beryl-coloured eyes, as she saw the image of Sora fighting Roxas.
"No..." she whispered quietly.
"Get out, now!" Roxas demmanded, and he prepared to impale the "Sora". It seems that the Nobody won this fight. He drew back his Oathkeeper, and...
"STOP! Don't do this!" Kairi screamed as she ran in the middle, and gasped as the Oathkeeper stabbed into her chest. The pain began to imerse within her, as she began to whimper in pain. Roxas's eyes were wide open, while the "Sora" merely smirked. He reached out to retrieve her heart, but froze. He began to grunt, and grab his head in frustration. Thus, causing Kairi's heart to merge back with Kairi.
"What is this?"
"Get out, now!"
"Never!"
"I'm not giving into darkness! I will never sucumb to you again!" the other voice told him. "Go away!"
Suddenly, the evil, Anit-Sora dissapeared in a gust of wind, as the normal Sora appeared, wide-eyed at the sight of Kairi, slowly dying at Roxas's Oathkeeper Keyblade.
"Wha...what the HELL?! What'd you do, Roxas?" he questioned, angrily. He was blind with rage, about to attack his Nobody with his newly summoned Keyblade (It was the Kingdom Key. I guess.). The blond opened his mouth to speak, but Kairi interrupted him. "Sora," her address was faint, and quiet, but heard.
"Kairi!" he gasped, as he crawled over to her, then kneeled next to his friend. Roxas took back the Oblivion, as it dissapeared in a shimmer. "Kairi, are you okay?"
"Sora," she whispered once more. Then fell unconsious.
"No, Kairi, please wake up!" he pleaded, shaking his red-haired friend. Her indigo-coloured eyes didn't open, and her face kept still. "Kairi," tears began to trickle down his face. "Kairi, I'm sorry,"
"Apologies aren't gonna do any good right now," Roxas mummured. Sora shot him a glare. "I think she's still alive, just unconsious."
Sora sighed. And looked at Roxas. "What...what happened?"
Roxas explained the whole story, of how he appeared (of which he counldn't exactly explain...), how Kairi helped him, and Riku, and all that jazz. Sora's expression softened as the reasons began to sink in. The blond Nobody couldn't explain much, but Sora knew the reasons why.
"I...I let darkness in." Sora told Roxas, quietly, and ashamed. "I let it in, because I was jealous."
"I told you, you should've pushed her out." he mumbled.
"That wouldn't have helped," the brunet boy explained. "I had the fight. You were there, you know about it..."
"It might help if we...y'know, were together again," Roxas suggested. Sora held his hand out. and Roxas replied by grabbing it, into a small handshake.
"Thanks." the blue-eyed brunet whispered. Roxas smiled back.
"Don't thank me. Thank yourself."
Bleh. I really screwed up this plot.
I don't really care, though.
It was worth it. :DDD
I really wanted to do that one part when they're pushing against eachother on the Keyblade. I was really in the mood. :D
