Hi again! I have come forth once more to cause pain and misery to all characters! Hey, for a future fic, this is turning out quite well, so I might keep this for a while…

"What the…" Kazuki whispered, staring into the contents of the shop.
The inside of it had nothing wrong… nothing whatsoever! (A/N -snickers- I love spoiling cliffhangers…) it was as if no screaming was ever heard, as all shopping activities resumed as usual. Kazuki still didn't let his guard down; he refused to, not until he finds the source of the scream. Even if it was just an imaginary outburst, he had this strange feeling of hatred, curiosity, familiarity… but he tried to shrug it all away, knowing that most of it seemed ridiculous.
"Kazuki, you feel it too… right?" Shin asked, not even bothering to look at Kazuki.
Kazuki remained silent, but he knew what Shin meant. The strange, dark feeling that was getting stronger and stronger, threatening to-
"KAZUKI!"
Said name suddenly felt a strange, yet familiar, weight being forced upon his shoulders, Rika's weight. And even if he couldn't tell with the load, the yell says it all.
"Why did you two run away all of the sudden? I was worried, you know?" Rika scolded, still not lifting herself from Kazuki, as she silently enjoyed his warmth. Kazuki was just about to explain, until a gaze coming from Shin's way brought an end to this action.
Of course, from Rika's point of view, this seems like something completely different, as she scrunched her eyebrows towards Shin. Something that a 15 year old shouldn't be thinking about…
"Ah, I see… a tryst between two of the same gender… don't stop because of me!"
And with that, she stomped off, leaving a baffled Kazuki, and Shin slapping his forehead.
"RIKA, WAIT!" Kazuki called, chasing after the brown haired girl. Alas, his efforts seemed fruitless, as Rika continued to ignore Kazuki's pleas and reason, pouting all the way. Shin shook his head as a small smile formed on his lips. Those two were the cutest couple in all of Providence Town. Thinking this, Shin looked down, gripping his crown shaped charm. The charm whose previous owner brought so much pain in this teenager's life.
"Get a hold of yourself, Shin…" he mumbled, mentally slapping himself. Shin suddenly heard a laugh coming from ahead, seeing Kazuki and Rika moving into an arcade, somehow conversing normally. Admiring Kazuki's skills Shin smiled to himself again and joined his friends in a rather interesting session of Para Para Sakura. (A/N Y'know, those things where you have to dance according to what the computer says)
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"HAH! HIGH SCORE, BABE!" Rika declared, punching her hand in the air in a very unladylike manner. This made Kazuki slump to the ground, staring helplessly at Rika's name… right above his in first place.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kazuki moaned, and suddenly got up with determination in his eyes. "I WILL DEFEAT YOU!" he yelled, pointing at Rika accusingly before starting another session of 'House Of The Dead'. Rika smirked and stuck out her tongue, "Don't let your score down now," Kazuki replied with a certain rude gesture, which made Rika scoff, and turn away. Shin rubbed his temples, and ran his hand through his flaming red hair. One second these two were a cute couple, and suddenly, mortal enemies…
However, what baffled Shin the most was this question.
'The machine had two guns… so why not play together?'
This opposition was slowly draining Kazuki and Rika's pockets, both whom would turn to Shin for more money, as they know, he was the most thrifty of the three.
Thinking this, Shin attempted an escape, as Kazuki punched his hand in the air. Rika's mouth hung open, gazing at the high score.
"This can't be… it mustn't be…"
"Eat my dust, spawn of the cooties race!" Kazuki exclaimed, shoving a 'peace' sign in Rika's face. Rika immediately dug her pocket, in hopes to surpass Kazuki's gain. Seeing she had no money, she immediately turned towards Shin, who was nowhere to be seen.
"Shin!" Kazuki called, waving at the entrance. Said name stopped dead in his tracks, turning slowly back. "What are you doing there?"
"Ehehe… err… hi Kazu…" he stuttered, waving quietly. Noting Rika's gaze, he turned away, and ran for dear life.
"GET BACK HERE!" both of Kazuki and Rika yelled, chasing after him for various reasons.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"HAH! It is proven now, that I, Minami Rika, am the best runner in all of Providence Town!" Rika yelled, smirking as she stomped once more on Shin's back. Her right hand was pointed upwards, indicating her triumph. Kazuki on the other hand was busy checking Shin's condition, worried for his redhead friend.
"Dude, you okay?"
Shin waved a hand, sign of acknowledgement. Kazuki sighed in relief as Shin got back on his feet, making Rika fall on her back.
"HEY! WATCH IT!"
"Give it a rest, Rika… he's practically dying there…" Kazuki said, attempting to break the feud between his friends. Hey, someone has to be the peacemaker here! It seemed to work, as Rika started to calm down, although it comes with the price of her pouting. Shin was smart enough to remain silent, as Kazuki started soothing Rika down.
……………………………………
Shin and Kazuki were walking home together, as they were neighbors, who's homes were just three houses away. The sunset was still in the sky, threatening to succumb all under it in soft, relaxing gloom, illuminated with only the soft light of the full moon.
"Well, guess were here…" Kazuki declared, breaking the agonizing silence since just a few minutes ago. They stopped right in front of Kazuki's house, and Shin continued on his way towards his.
"Oh, and by the way, Kazuki…"
"Yeah?"
"No matter what happens, I want you to promise to never go to the lighthouse,"
"Huh?"
"Darkness lurks in every heart, threatening to bring its possessor into infinite obscurity,"
"Wh-.. What are you talking about?"
Shin turned back towards Kazuki in a very serious manner, with a very strange glimmer in his golden brown eyes.
"Shin?"
"Kazuki… don't lose your light"
Kazuki was so stunned by Shin's sudden severity that he just stood there, as the latter walked away as if nothing happened, whistling all the way.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Shin's acting weird…"
Being alone has always got Kazuki thinking about random things, but his thoughts now deprived of all randomness. He was really worried; Shin never acted like this in a long time. And the last time he did, involved a countless series of mishaps better left forgotten.
Something was definitely up.
Kazuki heaved a sigh, and stared out in the window next to him. Staring out into nothing but darkness. Darkness and his own reflection. And if his eyes didn't deceive him, he would've sworn he saw a strange version of a giant ant leering at him from behind
Wait a minute…
Kazuki immediately turned around, only to find a small glimmer of black.
"Who's there?" he inquired,
But no answer came.
"Hmm… probably Yuki's hamster escaped or something…" Kazuki thought, slumping back into his bed. "This is not my day…" he mumbled, placing a pillow on his face as he lied facing the ceiling.
But right on the spot, a strange voice in his head told him to jump. Kazuki obediently followed, barely missing the sharp claws of a strange, black creature.
"What the…"
The strange dark creature lunged for Kazuki again, but Kazuki barely dodged this attack, as he ran for the door. When he opened it, he was shocked to find more of these creatures, lurking around in every corner of his house.
And of course, the opening Kazuki had shown these strange creatures alerted them to his presence, exposing him to the dangers these creatures held. These creatures approach slowly towards Kazuki in a menacing manner, before lunging for him with outstretched claws.
Kazuki immediately shut the door once more, leaning on it to give him more time. Looking into his room once more, he saw three more of these creatures, claws drawn out.
"What the hell's going on here?" Kazuki demanded, trying fruitlessly to drown the panic that chocked him. His eyes darted around for even the slightest chance of escape, and this search ended with the window by his bed.
It should be a long jump, but Kazuki wasn't blessed with option. Mindlessly, he ran through the wall those four creatures had formed, and jumped on his bed. He opened his window, and hesitated for a second; looking down on the soft, wet grass below, in the garden grounds of his house.
"Here goes nothing…" He mumbled, saying his prayers as he leaped down into the bushes below.
The landing wasn't too smooth, but Kazuki managed, despite the pain. He held his left arm firmly, running away from another swarm (?) of the dark creatures, which chased him along the long, lonesome road.
"What the hell?" Kazuki thought, as he turned back to have one good look at the strange beings. He could've sworn they look exactly like the ones in his dream, except that he wasn't running from them, but to them. And he had that strange comical weapon with him, the Keyblade with him. If only it was with him now…
Kazuki immediately shook the thoughts out of his head, for he knew it was impossible. So maybe the creatures were real, but that doesn't mean an oversized key would suddenly pop out of nowhere and save him from total annihilation. It seemed ridiculous if you thought about it.
On that very second, Kazuki started rummaging through his pocket, looking for certain goods that might help him. Heck, his life depended on it! He definitely can't run forever, and it wasn't like he had an objective to go to.
"Dammit! Where is it?" Kazuki mumbled, feeling something close up on him from ahead. Looking up, he saw geometrically arranged squares, famously known as a wall.
He forgot to see where he was going.
Kazuki turned for another route, but was cut off by another swarm of the shadowed creatures formed a semi circle around him, preventing escape.
Kazuki started mumbling a few colorful words, but they did not seem to help, as the creatures closed up to him, making it harder and harder for an attempted getaway.
"This is it…" Kazuki thought, looking down on the pavement below. There was no way of escape, nor was there a way to bid his final farewell. Memories flashed before his eyes. His mother's tender touch and silly behavior, Yuki's constant inquiring mind reaching out for answers, Shin's putting him down, Rika's and his fights, all that seemed silly at first, but were cherished memories he had constructed with them. And he knew, they would miss him as much as he would.
"NO!" said another voice within him, a bold, piercing yet gentle voice. It told him that he shouldn't give up, that he should fight. Fight for his life, for his mother, brother, friends,
Everyone.
Kazuki looked up towards these creatures, smirking.
"Bring it on…" he taunted, gesturing for them to come to him. One of those creatures pursued his wish, charging for his vital point. Kazuki's eyes were shut tight as he raised his right hand in front of his face. He could be dying, but the strange voice told him to be calm, as there was nothing to be frightened of. He acknowledged it, waiting for the pain to pierce through.
But it never came.
Peeping through his right eye, he was stunned to find the creature thrown back. Thrown back by a strange key-like weapon with a strange, dark look.
"Key… blade…" Kazuki gasped, unable to confine his tremendous shock. The bracelet on his hand had changed into a Keyblade.
No way, this couldn't be! This thing was just a dream! Whoever heard of a giant key working as a weapon?
But it was real. And it was in his hands, screaming for handling.
Keyblade… the ultimate weapon…
"Huh?"
With it, you are depended on for the peace of all worlds…
"You again?"
I wish you good luck, O Keyblade Master…
"Wha-"
Protect all that is dear to you…
"I get it…" he said, hauling the weapon above his right shoulder as he raised his left hand for balance.
The forgotten thing, now very much angered, shrieked again, as he charged for Kazuki. Said name just smirked, getting into an offensive stance.
" Don't leave me hanging," Kazuki taunted again, charging for the creature.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Kazuki was panting heavily when he was done with most of the creatures. Who knew hauling a key around would be so tiring? Still, Kazuki could not confine his immense shock, staring intently at the bizarre weapon. It was as if it was waiting, confined in his heart, waiting for the opportune moment to make itself known. The dream started to make more sense to him, as his destiny called upon him.
Kazuki was so into everything, that he didn't notice one more of those creatures crawling up to him, claws drawn out.
"You need to be a little more alert, idiot," said a voice behind Kazuki, making him turn around, weapon drawn.
"SHIN!" Kazuki yelled, pulling his friend into such a tight, and joyous that it would've made the best of yaoi fans squeal with delight.
"Ack! Ngh… Kaz… can't… breath…" Shin panted, making Kazuki jump right down from him. Shin shot him the most disgusting of all glares, yelling.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR, DAMNIT! RIKA WOULD HAVE MY HEAD IF SHE SAW THAT!" Shin yelled, receiving a puzzled look from Kazuki.
"For what?"
Shin was about to say a certain line, when he remembered another certain line, which sent him shivers down his spine.
Tell Kazuki, and I'll make sure your stay in Providence Town won't last any longer…
"Nothing…" Shin said, coughing. The ever so innocent Kazuki demanded more, but Shin just ignored his pleas, until at one point, Kazuki just gave up.
"Wait… what the hell am I doing?" Shin mumbled, mentally slapping himself. "Kazuki. That weapon you're holding… it's a Keyblade, right?" Shin asked with sudden seriousness.
"Yup. Pretty cool, huh? I designed it myself! Although I did thought of ditching the key-like look… but whatever, it's more original this way"
"O.O… I see…"
"Wait a minute…"
"What?"
"YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS THING? NO WAY! SHIN! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING SOONER?"
Shin started rubbing his temples, sighing. "Still as dense as ever, huh?" Shin mumbled, shaking his head.
"Did you say something?"
"Nothing…"
"So… man, how do you know about this?" thus Kazuki started pestering Shin again, who was losing his patience.
"OKAY! FINE! I'LL SHOW YOU! NOW STOP GIVING ME THOSE WEIRD EYES!" Shin yelled, backing away. Kazuki just smirked mentally. "Those eyes never cease to amaze me…"
Shin suddenly had that serious face on again, as he raised his right hand as far as he could from his face. "Watch…"
However, just as Shin was about to do what he was doing, another scream echoed from the inside of Providence Town, alerting both Kazuki and Shin.
"What was that?" Kazuki demanded, running towards the voice. Shin just stood there, gazing toward Kazuki. When Kazuki did notice Shin's absence, he turned around, determination in his eyes.
"Dude, lets go!" Kazuki ushered. Shin seemed to be pacing out, when he suddenly looked up, nodded and ran along with Kazuki.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
On their way running, Shin had started talking about various of things, telling him that the creatures he saw were called 'Shady-o', one of some kind of cult group called 'Heartless'. These things work tirelessly, seeking to steal the hearts of all women in every world, but doing so in a wrong way. They also have a leader, but their last one retired a while back, because he couldn't take the pressures of lonesomeness, and that Shin didn't know who was their boss now.
Well, that's what Kazuki had interpreted from Shin's speech anyway.
"Gee, talk about a weird cult group," Kazuki mumbled, shaking his head. Deep down, Shin knew that Kazuki didn't understand a word he was saying, but left the topic at that, until they were in a less tight situation.
As they stood there, staring at what has become of Providence Town.
It was, to put it simply, a total clutter. People were everywhere, all in mass panic, running over what was left of buildings and various geometrical structures. It seems that the Heartless has infiltrated the whole of Providence Town, causing much chaos and panic. The weird thing was, that some were running into the heartless, as if they couldn't see ahead of them.
After Kazuki got over the shock, he was about to go into the scene to try and help out, until he felt a strong tug on his hand. Turning around, he saw Shin shaking his head, indicating veto.
"But Shin-…"
"It's not going to help,"
"They're-"
"No,"
"I-"
"No
"But"
"No"
"KAZUKI! YOU'RE ALIVE!"
Instantly, Kazuki knew who it was, even before she managed to make contact with his back. Minami Rika.
"Were you guys planning another tryst?" Rika accused, poking Kazuki so hard, he could almost swear it killed him.
"AHAHA! I was not! HEHE! I'm straight!" Kazuki demanded, eager to stop the evil of poking
"And I don't swing that way, either," Shin agreed, crossing his arms.
"Oh…"
"You know… you're kind of too calm for someone looking into their destroyed hometown…" Shin pointed out, gesturing towards the remnants of Providence Town.
"OMG! WHAT HAPPENED HERE? WHAT'S GOING ON?" Rika demanded, getting off Kazuki. She suddenly embraced him in a tight, bone crushing hug, weeping. "Oh, what is to become of us?"
"Yeah Shin, why can't I go help those people? They're dying there! They don't even seem to be able to see all these 'Shady-o' things!" Kazuki demanded, drawing his Keyblade. His eyes were unmoving from Shin's as he stared intently in those golden brown pupils. Shin gazed back, unmoved. Rika knew that being in the middle of a fight isn't the smartest thing to do, so she moved out of the way.
"Because that's exactly what they're want Kazuki. Lure you into the town, and take you on. You're not ready yet,"
"Ready for what?" Kazuki yelled, raising his Keyblade into Shin's face. " The voice said this thing is to protect all that I care for! And I care for this town!"
"But then you'll just be doing what those 'Heartless' controllers want! You'll get killed!" Shin was now very much serious, afraid, all that. He seemed really grim, but Kazuki was too clouded in rage to see that. He glared intently at Shin, gritting his teeth.
"At least I'll know I died trying…"
With that, Kazuki ran into town, slashing away all the Heartless that got in his way.
"KAZUKI!" Shin called, but was ignored by the said name. He wasn't going to just sit and watch all these people die. Not when he has the power to stop it from happening.
…………………………………………
Kazuki let out a small noise as he slashed his final slash on a Heartless' abdomen, as he charged for another one. Various people thanked him, although most were puzzled as of why Kazuki was slashing all those explosives instead of just defusing them. But Kazuki knew what was behind all of it. Well, sort of…
Somewhere far away, a cloaked figure watched Kazuki's actions intently, while his ocean blue eyes darted around his various features. His ragged brown cloak flapped in the wind, as he removed a strange device from his pocket.
"It's time…"
…………………………………………
"It's time…"
"Huh?" Kazuki could've sworn he heard a voice. Somewhat hoarse, but soft male voice. He was slashing a Heartless on his right when the possible answer came to him.
"Rika's suspicions are getting into my brains…"
While protecting the town, Kazuki had this strange urge to go towards the lighthouse, and didn't even know why. It was as if the tall landmark called out to him, but he knew, that was just ridiculous.
The problem was, that was exactly what he thought with the dream, which started to make a lot of sense now. After much of an inside debate, Kazuki decided that he should check it out, just in case.
…………………………………………
"That idiot!"
Shin thought, watching him from afar. From Kazuki's actions, it was obvious; he was going towards the lighthouse. Bad sign.
"I thought I told that moron to stay away!" Shin mumbled, along with a whole sentence filled with very colorful words.
…………………………………………
"Well, here I am…"
Kazuki stood gazing up into the tall tower, as it towered magnificently above him. Nothing seemed weird, but the strange feeling in his chest told him to go up towards the top. Climbing up the long, tiring series of stairs towards it.
"This is the last time I take orders from a weird voice in my head…" Kazuki grumbled mentally, climbing up the long series of stairs.
Finally reaching the top, he was very much surprised to see Rika there, with her back towards him.
"Rika?"
She turned around, with a strange, empty look in her eyes.
"Kazuki…"
A bright blue light suddenly engulfed the whole place, an explosion, pushing Kazuki towards down the flight of stairs.
"RIKA!"
When Kazuki realized it, he wasn't standing on anything, as he fell meters and meters towards the ground.
And possibly his death.
Kazuki stared up into the night sky, as it started to grow distant. He wanted to scream, but no sound came out. As if the fear was chocking him.
"No, I can't die like this! No way!"
As if on cue, Kazuki felt himself being caught in a pair of muscular hands, as he landed safely on the ground. His savior was wearing a ragged brown cloak, covering his face from view.
He looked down towards Kazuki, seemingly glaring with his ocean blue eyes. The hood had been forced off by the wind, revealing a spiky haired man with cerulean blue eyes.
Kazuki suddenly stopped dead in his tracks, standing face to face with a brown haired boy. He glared at Kazuki with a piercing look, summoning another Keyblade. Kazuki however, wasn't the slightest bit intimidated, clutching his tighter. He rushed towards the brown haired boy, with a fierce battle cry.
"No way…"
"Kazuki! Get away from him!"
Mind still somewhat fuzzy, Kazuki knew that voice was familiar. He couldn't however make out whom it was.
"Kazu! Get out of there!"
"It's no use…" The cloaked man spoke for the fist time, standing up as he placed Kazuki on the ground again. "He can't understand you,"
"Who are you to talk, old man!" the voice demanded, drawing his sword. "I won't let you hurt him!"
"Hurt? If that was my intention, I would've just let him fall to his death,"
"Then what do you want?"
As the two men conversed, Kazuki was slowly regaining his sense, as he remembered the owner of the voice, Shin.
"Something you don't have,"
And with that, the mysterious man vanished into a dark portal, leaving no trace of ever gracing the land. Shin ran towards Kazuki, who stood up, rubbing his head.
"You okay?"
"Fine…" Kazuki acknowledged, as his mind raced. He knew he was forgetting something.
"RIKA!"
"What?"
Kazuki tugged on Shin's shirt, panicked.
"There was this light! And Rika was in it! This weird blue light!"
"Then there's nothing to worry about,"
"What are you saying?" Shin looked up into the stars, sighing. "She's not in this world anymore…"
"Wha-"
"LOOK OUT!"
Before Kazuki knew what was happening, Shin stood in front of him, blood pouring out of his back, staining the blade that had gone through his abdomen.
"SHIN!"

Guess that's all for now. Sorry this chap was pretty lame. I was totally out of ideas for this one, until the point where I had to think of it while typing the thing itself, making it really sucky-ish. Sorry bout that.
This had come out differently than planned, but I hope I didn't screw up too bad. I intended on more fight scenes, but I guess nothing can be done about it now… sorry…
NEXT CHAPTER! - Disney and FF characters make their debut!
Who's the man in the cloak? Why did I make Shin get stabbed? Where has Rika gone? What will Kazuki do? What's going to happen next? Why am I asking random rhetorical questions to the readers? Why am I being such an ass-wipe? Why don't I just stop typing?
