File 26: From Tsuki With Catastrophe » Volume 1
Title based on the film, From Paris With Love.
There is a MAJOR SPOILER from Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep in this chapter! For those of you who might know, you will see the connection. To those who don't, you might now get it, but it does serve a huge spoiler from the game.
And the way I want to handle Roxas/Kairi is to have a brother-sister relationship. Not a boyfriend-girlfriend one for a short run, even if they have many scenes together. Sora/Kairi and Roxas/Namine forever guys! Yet I have Riku/Namine right now. Ahehehe…
Genre: Adventure/Romance

After the announcements, everybody finished their plates and all putted them in the sink. The ones who volunteered to wash them were the ones you would you have thought, Cloud and Aerith. She took the job as the washer while Cloud dries them. Now how did this pairing come into play when there is some tension rising between the two? Zack went to the use bathroom actually and Cloud could not help but joined her. Just to talk about some things that is going on. There was nothing but the sound of dishes clanging each other and the water running. It was plain awkward. "You must of have been surprised…" Aerith blurted out softly. "But Zack and I are still married to each other—"
"And still love each other happily," he said in a fake joyful tone and then reverted back to a mono one. "I know. Don't have to keep rubbing it in my face all the time. Just stop it already because I'm tired of hearing that crap."
"Well you are the one who still has feelings for me."
"I can say the same thing for you," he fires back at her. "Can I ask if you really do have feelings for Zack still? Or did it just magically appear and you fell in love with him again?"
"I still love him, even before I met you."
"Remember what I told you about my last girlfriend? I'm tired of losing the ones I love."
"Yes. I do remember. You told me at the Halloween dance."
"There was something I didn't tell you. Not the whole story." Aerith did not bother to say anything and waits for him to continue. "She looked a lot like you." Immediately she just froze from his answer. This explains so much why he took an interest in her, but now, she wonders if he just liked her because she looks like his dead girlfriend. However, the way he is handling things, makes it his feelings feel real for who she is. Not his dead girlfriend. Killing the mood, Zack comes in the kitchen.
"Hey guys! Need anymore help with those dishes? If not, I'm going to bring out the cake now," he said, but none of the two replied. "Is something wrong?" he kindly asked.
"No… everything is just peachy," Cloud answers like nothing is wrong as he smiles at Aerith while wiping the plates dry.
In the living room with the others waiting for some cake, and two of them were playing Super Street Fighter IV. "Oohhhh! You are not getting me! I'm going to end this!" Roxas said with determination. This fight has been going for a while now and it was done to the final one. He would win match, but lose the other as this pattern continue with the other one as well.
"Oh no your not!" Kairi fires back.
"Yes I am!" Roxas keeps mashing the buttons on the Dualshock controller, but one false move and he was open for an attack. He was dead now as the final blow was given. "What? How could I lose? Again!" Roxas screams pulling his hair out of frustration. "You are not even good at this game!"
Kairi laughs hysterically at Roxas. "Ahahaha! I can't believe you lost the fight again! Y-you got owned! FAIL!"
"Roxas, the once great king of fighter games has been removed from his throne," Sora said in a majestic medevial voice.
Hayner then continues, "And now to take his place is none other than—"
Kairi pets her dog and says, "Hoshi! Good boy! You beat Roxas! Here is another treat." Hoshi grabs the treat of her hands with his paws and starts eating it on the floor. Yep, Roxas actually lost to a dog, not Kairi. Apparently, this dog proved to be smarter than everyone else thought.
"I demand a rematch… again!" Roxas pouted. Boy, he sure was acting like a sore loser who will not give up.
"Rematch? My dog here has beaten you three times already. I'm surprise he even won that much."
"Yeah cuz you told him what buttons to press."
Kairi gasps grabbing Hoshi like she was protecting him. "I have you know he is a smart dog that follows orders. He played, not me." Kairi takes her hand and pull down her skin underneath her eye and sticks a tongue out to her loser friend. Hoshi barks loudly at Roxas feeling their small rivalry.
"Besides, Hoshi has never played PS3 right boy?" she said in childish voice as he barked.
Yuffie then had an odd look. "But he—"
"Ssssh!" Kairi interrupted softly. "He does not need to know that."
"You have hated me since we met," he firmly said getting close to the dog. "And I will still find a way to get you to like me!" He felt the determination in him since he first laid eyes on the dog back in January.
"Okay, but you are scaring me and Hoshi by being so close to us," Kairi told him. "So back away."
Among the crowd, Aqua is watching the scene. This whole night, she has been feeling uncomfortable to see her son in front of her eyes and he has no idea that his real parents are with him. Yet, Roxas is not aware of it. She looks at his features looking like his father in every way when he was younger. It kind of saddens her not to see a small resemblance to her because he is her child after all. She decides to get away from the noise and step outside on the backyard porch as the noise start to grow faint and she can hear nothing else, but a few sounds of the wind blowing by and the wind chimes softly hitting each other.
"He sure is competitive huh? Like someone I know," a familiar said implying her. She turns to see it is Ven standing behind her. "And not good with animals either," he added laughing.
"Here we are again outside and away from the others. It is nice to see him inheriting a trait from me. I mean, he is mostly like you in every way Ventus," Aqua sadly explains.
"Like how Sora looks like my twin brother Vanitas, but with brown hair."
"Strange huh? Sora and Roxas are good enough to be twins yet they are actually cousins. I find it funny that my due date was the same as Sora's mother. That was the perfect opportunity to cover up the story he is our son."
"He still is and always will be Aqua. How bout we tell him tonight? He deserves to know after all these years." Aqua immediately froze at the question. Is she ready? And why did it have to be here out of all places? "Don't worry, we will tell them when his friends and Sora are gone. Kairi and the others have to know though. We have to tell him the truth about us. Everything."
"What?" Now this was what Aqua was completely against. "You can't be serious? You are going to just tell him out of the blue! Did you ever think on how he might take this? Better yet, will he even believe us? What about my engagement with Terra."
"He will. I know our son. You owe him that much Aqua after sixteen years of MIA in his life," he explains going back inside but stops and looks back to her. "And Terra… you will handle that yourself."
~ Secret Agent Kairi ~
Everybody, mainly Kairi's friends, were now saying goodbye to each other as they leave out the door. However, Roxas had to stay for some reason because his uncle had something important to tell him. When Xion was the last one to leave. "I wonder why you have to stay here," Kairi asked her friend closing the door. "What would be so important that we had to have our friends leave after having cake?"
"Beats me. I have a feeling it is something serious," Roxas replies opening the door to living room with Kairi going in first.
"Maybe your uncle will be taking you somewhere for the summer. That would be nice." Kairi then got an idea. "Bring me along!" she suddenly said in excitement making Roxas laugh at. The time they enter the room, they saw him standing next to Aqua while the other were sitting on the couch. "This look serious," she whispers taking a seat next to her mom as Roxas sat too. "Do you know what is going on mom?"
"Not a clue" she replied. Aerith looks at her friend who essentially looked nervous, which caught her by surprise. Aqua has never been nervous making an announcement or something like that.
"W-where do we begin?" Aqua stammered trying to look at the others, mainly Roxas. "I'm sorry for keeping you hear Roxas, but there is something you need to know." Roxas just had a big question mark floating above his head. He barely knew this lady.
"How should I say this?" Ven hesitates for a second feeling everyone's eyes on them. It felt nerve wrecking to even be up here and standing in front. "Roxas, did you ever question yourself why you look like me more than your father?"
"At one point, yes. Me and Sora thought the same thing when we were kids," Roxas answers.
Ven stops to look at Aqua who looks like she was already going to have a breakdown, so he decided to fully take over knowing she could break any minute. "Heh, for sixteen years you have been living with my brother and I would come over once in a while to see you guys. Mainly you."
"Me? Why me? Don't you love your two nephews equally?" Ven scoffed forcing a smile.
"The truth is Roxas, you are not my nephew." The room instantly gasped with Roxas still not getting the picture. "It's hard to believe, I know. But you deserve to know after all these years. Aqua and I… we have kept this a secret for so long that we didn't even tell our parents. Not even to our friends." The others kept on listening what they had to say not giving any comment.
"What he is trying to say is…" Aqua interrupted and stopped in mid sentence closing her mouth and eyes. She opens slowly opens her eyes to reveal the truth. She turns her back on them and wraps one arm around herself. "… He is your real father. And am… your real mother Roxas." Roxas had finally been choked without words. What was he suppose to say? That this is one big fat lie? His uncle would not do something like that.
"My real mom and dad…" Roxas trails off feeling distraught already.
"Believe what you will, but it's the truth. When you were born, I decided to give you up. Something Ventus here was against, but I convinced him anyway and who would you have guessed it was."
"My brother," Ven continued. "Well actually, he is your uncle and Sora is your cousin. It was such a coincidence that you two were born on the same day, so we used that to legally be my brother's child."
"You can't be joking right?" Roxas asked. "You mean to tell me my parents gave me up! For what reason and why?" he yelled getting up from his seat, but Kairi brought him back. Aqua then sees Terra leaving his seat and walking out the door.
"Terra! Wait!" Aqua runs away from her spot and goes after him.
Outside…
"I said wait!" Aqua calls out running out of the house. "I can explain everything!"
Terra, who was furious, turns to face her and shouts, "Then explain!" She was so terrified of Terra that she didn't want ot say anything anymore. "Explain!" he screamed in front of her face. "Why did you had to hide this from me? That you had a child and with my best friend as well!"
"You know Ventus and I were dating before we were! You can't say stuff like that!"
"I know, but why hide it from everyone else? Huh? Tell me that!"
"I thought I was doing the best thing for everybody's sake. To have him in our lives, truthfully, I did not want him to have the life like Kairi. The life where you mostly had to lie to everyone that don't really know what you do and what could happen to him."
"Yet we have Kairi running around like a goose!" he said harshly. "We would've helped you guys raise him like the agency did with Kairi."
"I told you before! I didn't want him to have this life! I just wanted him to have a normal one. Ven and I's career's were taking off and I thought a child would hold us back."
"That didn't stop Aerith and Zack."
"That's because unlike Aerith, who worked as head of our medical branch, the three of us, you, me, and Ventus are traveling around the world constantly. If we did keep, I would want to stay with him at all times, but I knew I couldn't. Bringing him along would cause some trouble too. It was for the best!" Terra felt like screaming for real, but he was out in public at night. It would draw a lot of attention.
Back inside the house…
"So wait. Then why are we here to know this while the others had to leave so early?" Kairi asked.
"Seeing Aqua is not here, I will continue and I will answer your question soon Roxas." Nothing but silence is in the room as they wait for him to continue. "What you will hear will probably shock you since Kairi and her family are kind of part of this too. Sort of."
"Sir! You're not thinking—!" Zack interjected.
"I have to. It's the reason why we let him go in the first place." Ven takes a breather and says, "Your mother and I, umm… are part owners of this… secret spy agency called Kingdom Hearts. Your friends Kairi and Yuffie work for us, as do their parents. Of course, Kairi and Yuffie are not really sisters, but they are close. Cloud here was to serve as their father, but then Zack unexpectedly showed up."
"You're telling me that Kairi and Yuffie here," he points to. "Are actually secret agents? But… Kairi is such a terrible liar!" Kairi gasped feeling angry by the rude comment. "I actually thought she would make a crappy spy." He turns to see her glaring at him like the devil making him anguish. "Ahehe… I'm just kidding."
"Why do you think I always finish some of her sentences?" Yuffie asked him. "I already knew she was a terrible liar to begin with."
"Hey! Stop hating on me!" Kairi pouted.
"This would explain so much why you would disappear and come back randomly. And those skills and brains you have. Like your first day at the school when you suddenly ran off so quickly."
"Yep. I had a lot of training before I came here."
"The Halloween dance?"
"Yesiry," Kairi answers.
"Pool cleaning?"
"Mmhm."
"Prom?"
"Oh yeah. Keep them coming Roxas. You name it, I probably will say I was doing my job or that's what I was trained to do."
"Wow, to think my best friend is a secret agent. I mean, you can be really naïve at times… and pretty stupid too. Like earlier at the market with the broccoli." Kairi then just gave him a punch on the head hard out of anger leaving a big lump.
"Will ya shut up already?" she growled.
"Sorry," he tenderly said rubbing the spot where she hit him.
"Not my fault I was home schooled for almost my whole life. Boy!" she said deciding to change the subject. "It feels great to have a friend know my secret and not get in trouble for it! No more hiding secrets, well, from you that is. The others cannot know about this Roxas. It could jeopardize… something like our identities."
"I can understand why," Roxas commented.
"Which brings me to great idea!" Kairi cheers raising her hand. ""Mr. Uchiyama! I have a suggestion!"
"Yes?"
"Can Roxas join us?"
"Am totally on board with this!" Yuffie agrees. "Can he man?"
"I don't know about this," Ven said worried. "This is one of the reasons why me and Aqua left him go Kairi. To not have this hectic life."
"Pssh," Kairi said flipping her hand. "Too late for that since he knows already. Your son has been getting into shape lately, for whatever reason, and he has shown me these awesome skills he learned from his friends. I'd say he is good to be on the battlefield in our fight against the organization."
"Organization?" Roxas asked.
"Yes, they all have been sent here to do some work on this organization we are trying to take down," his father answered. "A group called Organization XIII. They are an elite group of people trying to from Kairi gather, take over the world or something like that."
"And exactly how do they plan to do that?"
"They have created these beings called Nobodies. Nearly each member has their own that they control." Ven's phone then started to answer to see it is from Leon. "Excuse me for one sec." He answers the phone and goes outside on the backyard porch.
"Get this, they are called Organization XIII yet they only have twelve members. However, that not be true anymore because I found out they are trying to recruit a new member. He is, from what I heard, around our age. I've never got anything else besides that cuz they really don't describe him other than training the dude, but the guy does not know about it." Roxas grows a wary look noticing a similar situation with him.
"A guy? They are training him?"
"Yeah," Yuffie answers. "Back at the Cultural Festival from before, we got a close look at three of their members. Easy to describe: One has red flaming hair, which looks cool by the way, another has blue hair like the Blue Hair Monster and "X" scar on his face, and the last one has blonde hair with pigtails."
"I-I know…" Roxas stammered recognizing these people. "… Those people." Everybody then stared at him. "Am the one they're training. The one who is their thirteen member is me."
"What?" Kairi jumps out of hear seat looking at her friend. "You're the one! This whole time! I can't believe I didn't see it, but I saw the signs. Coming to class late in the morning, those unusual phone calls when you told me to leave you alone. I can't believe I did not see it!"
"Calm down Kairi," her mother said.
"But my mission was to find this guy and I excluded all of my friends from it. Guess I was wrong because I really do not know all of them as well as I thought."
"We have a problem you guys," Ven informs them. "Organization XIII is already infiltrating the city and they have released the Nobodies." The room grew silence realizing the situation has taken a sudden turn when everything and everyone is in danger, especially their friends who left to go home.
In the city…
"What the heck are these things?" Sora shouts driving fast on the freeway punching an unknown white-being out the window as it rolls off the freeways like a barrel.
"We have to go somewhere where it is safe," Xion explains
"Tell Riku we are heading for the school now," he said trying to find the nearest exit. Xion gets out her phone dialing for Riku fast feeling the adrenaline of being in danger and attacked from something.
"Kind of busy here!" he says on the other line.
"I know, but we are heading for the school. Just follow us now." Sora slows down a bit as he takes a turn with Riku following going underneath a sign that reads: Tsuki High School.
~ Secret Agent Kairi ~
Everybody starts to leave the Gainsborough residence as they start to hear sirens and the sounds of helicopters in the distance. "All right everybody, it currently around nine right and the city is under siege and it is our job to keep the situation under control," Aqua reported to her colleagues. "Organization XIII is highly dangerous and will be most likely on the field, so it is best we prepare now for what is coming up. These Nobodies are high class and have been programed to fight and injury people. Most likely kill them too."
"Is this what my mom usual does?" Roxas asked Kairi.
"You'd be surprise to get her to know. She can be a complete bitch at times," she whispered while holding a leash on Hoshi. He sure was getting big for a five and half month old dog.
"Agent Gainsborough, I can hear you," Aqua tells her without looking at her.
"See what I mean."
"Leon is prepping a spot for our headquarters away from the city, but a good enough distance for us to come back just in case something happens. Our operatives are also sent to guard any hospital because we can't provide any medical support and the agency is doing our best to use every hospital available," Terra continues giving a brief status on the current situation.
"Kairi; you, Yuffie, and Roxas will help be in the front line," Ven adds to the current status of the mission and stops to tell Roxas something looking at his son with a stern look. "And Roxas, whatever friendship you had with some of them is gone. They could turn their back on you in one sweep and you wouldn't notice it. I am doing this for your own good."
"B-but—"
"No buts! End of discussion." Ven turns his back on him as he sees his father get into his car.
Roxas then feels Kairi patting him on the shoulder. "Don't worry. It's gonna be okay. We will do our best to hide your identity so they do not notice you in anyway."
"What are you going to do? Wrap my head with with something," he suggested, which made Kairi raise her eyebrow and grin at him. It made him scared of what she would do.
Later on…
"I was only kidding Kairi," Roxas dully said with white bandages wrapped all over his head and face nearly covering everything except for his eyes.
"Hey, we need to hide your identity man. Yuffie, wrap more," Kairi tells her. The place they are currently is an open field near the city, but also far enough from the action. It was crowded with people working for the agency as some are standing listening to their leader, some were running around, some were coming in and out of vehicles and helicopters, and some tents were set up all over the place. Tall lamplights were set up and the whole area was fenced and guarded in case anything treacherous comes by the area.
Aerith comes by, wearing a white lab coat holding onto a clipboard talking to someone and stops to see her daughter and friends in a tent and what her daughter was doing. "I will give you more information when I'm informed," she tells the guy and walks towards the tent entering. "What are you guys doing to him?"
Kairi and Yuffie dropped the bandages and she said, "He suggested it mom." But Roxas shakes his head making her mom raise an eyebrow.
"I'm sure he did. I am going to ask someone to provide some kind of gear for him to… hide his face or something. Get those bandages off him because he looks like a mummy," she said leaving making the three teenagers chuckle.
In the city, Nobodies were storming the place and citizens were screaming and running away. There were gunshots being fired, but either are dodged or blocked. Any police officers trying to kill or stop them failed miserably or were taken out by one the organization's members. Some of the agency's armed force met the same fate. Each member of the organization were spilt up are at different parts of the city, all wearing black trench coats with hoodies. Xenmas grins seeing the disaster seeing small explosions and hearing them too. Smokes of fire flew into the sky and could be seen from a distance.
Somewhere else, Axel is just sitting in a chair of an abandon store. The people immediately evacuated once they saw him, which made his job easier. "I hate doing my job," Axel said into his walkie talkie placing his feet on a coffee table and putting his hands behind his head.
"So do I, but why are we doing this?" Larxene asked seeing that the two were in the same room.
"Its fun."
"We are not even not doing anything. Better get lucky that we won't get caught by the others."
"Relax Larxene. We are just chilling." Next thing they are gunfires being shot and look through the glass windows to see Saix deflecting bullets with his claymore weapon, Lunatic. Then they suddenly see him go all berserk going crazy on the officers. "That's right… he's not himself when the moon is out. What did they do to him?"
"One of Vexen's weird experiments. I swear, that man fails, but it always turns out to be some other success at something."
"That makes two of—AAHHH!" Axel fell out of his seat when Saix's weapon broke through the glass and hitted the wall.
"What are you two doing?" he screamed.
"Shessh, someone is still in hyper mode," Axel calmly said brushing himself off.
Kairi, Yuffie, and Roxas prep for their mission putting on their gear. Kairi puts on her black cat suit putting on her small black backpack and putting her glases above her head, Yuffie puts on her usual black bandana with white lining along with an unzipped dark grey vest with a navy blue tank top with a floral design on it with matching shorts, socks, and boots to match, and Roxas wear a jacket that is half black on the left and half white on the right. The collar is red; underneath the jacket is a grey buttoned-up vest with white angular patterns on it. Also, he wears criss-crossing straps on his chest with a silver symbol crest, black and grey pant with black shoes and a small chunk of armor on his upper-left shoulder.
"I love this gear I'm wearing," Roxas said amused looking at it while Aqua was helping him fit into it.
"You should be, it was your father's before," she told him. "Terra and I have one too, but we don't use them anymore." While doing this, see looks to see him wearing a black and white checkered wristband. "I see you still have that wristband. That was the only thing I gave you when you were a born."
"Can't believe it still fits on me. I consider it as a luck charm," he told her smiling.
"Believe me, it is. Okay, are you three ready to go?" Aqua asked them.
"But what about his face? And that hair too cuz anybody can see that," Kairi explains.
"Yeah, you are right about that." Aqua places a hand on her chin thinking of a way. "Since the organization is not aware of you with us, I have plans in the future, so we have to conceal your identity to them."
"We are not putting bandages on me again!" he shouted making his mother giggle.
"Here," she said giving him an armor helmet dropping it in his hands. "Another one of your father." Roxas tries to put it on and his head gave way from the weight making the girls laugh.
"This thing is effin' heavy!" Roxas tries to get up as he sways side-to-side hitting a few people in the process and knocking things down off the shelf. "W-w-whoa!" He soon then hits a bed and flips on it. "Ow," he weakly said. Kairi and Yuffie go to help their friend and lift him up.
"That should do," Aqua said leaving while saying, "Follow me guys as your weapons will be on the helicopter that is going to transport you at your rendezvous point." The three follow her as she had a helicopter prepared for them already. The loud whirls from the blades kept on moving causing large amounts of wind coming in. "Get in!" she yells over opening the door. Yuffie enters, followed by Kairi, and lastly Roxas, but Aqua grabs a hold of his tricep making him look at her.
"Be careful out there. I just had you back in my life and I do not plan to lose you either." Roxas nods and takes a seat. "Go now!" She loudly taps the helicopter's side as it starts to lift off.
Meanwhile elsewhere…
Sora is flooring the car noticing that it is nearly a ghost town in the school district, which meant it should be safe to be here. He takes a quick turn to the right into the parking lot and immediately stops the car turning off everything and gets out. "Come on guys! Let's take shelter here," he said as Riku's car came in stopping as well. Xion and Hayner exit Sora's car while Namine, Pence, and Olette come out as well. Riku turns off everything, getting out and taking Namine's hand in his.
"It sure is pretty quiet here," Namine said examining the area.
"Think we lost those weird things?" Riku asked looking to see if there were any around.
"No, let's just try to get into the school," Sora said walking on ahead. Namine was right, it quiet except from the sounds of the city disaster. Everybody just heard only their footsteps on the concrete as they were coming up ahead of the entrance to see it is closed. "I am not breaking those glass doors, that's for sure," he said looking at them to see everyone's reflections. "Try to find a way in you guys. Let's split up." They separate into two groups like how they were in the car and walk around the school.
"Man it sure is pretty creepy to be on campus at an hour like this," Hayner said wrapping his arms around him. "And cold too! Brrr!"
"Summer may be coming, but it is always cold at night," Xion says rubbing her hands together. "I need something warm!"
"Will you two knock it off!" Sora snapped. "Hey look! I see an opening!"
"Where?" his two friends shouted.
"Up there… on the second floor window," he sadly said. "Now how are we going to get up there?"
Minutes later…
Everyone and literally everyone were stacking onto each other by sitting on each other's shoulders to make it less painful, but they were struggling long enough to keep the tower together with Namine being at the top since she was the lightest and Riku at the bottom for being the heaviest. "Someone give me a boost! I think I can reach for it!" Namine tells them struggling to reach for the window. "Just a little closer," she whimpered.
"A-any closer and this thing will f-fall apart! H-hurry up Namine! W-we can't hold this any longer!" Sora let out trying to say his sentence. Namine slowly and carefully starts to get up on Olette's shoulders putting one leg on one and slowly the other. She takes a small jump and hangs onto the window.
"I got it! Olette can you give me a slight push?" she asked.
"Sure thing," Olette replied giving her legs a big boost as Namine lifts herself and safely makes it.
"Whew! For a while there, I thought I was going to fall. Hey gu—" She heard a large noise and her friends groaning in pain making her look out the window to see them in a big pile on each other. "I'm coming!" she shouts running to the entrance.
"Owww…" Olette groans in pain. "That really hurt…"
"Yeah, but can you guys do me one small favor?" Riku asked calmly.
"What is that?" Pence asked still loafing around.
"Get the hell off me guys? All of you are crushing me!" he screamed in anger.
~ Secret Agent Kairi ~
"Okay guys! Let's do this!" Kairi said with enthusiasm. She puts on a vest attaching a wire to it on the back as did Yuffie and Roxas. "I love doing these types of drops. It gets me so pumped out." She looks down, which is pretty deep for a dive, and sees a fight already happening.
"Wow, I never saw Kairi get excited from something so dangerous," Roxas points out seeing a different side of her.
"Thanks, but seriously, answer my question you two," she solemnly said.
"I always do Kairi. You know that," Yuffie notifies her.
"Roxas?"
"Are you sure these are my weapons?" he asked looking at two katanas in his hands. "This is kind of brutal to use you know." These weapons can kill someone easily by just one swipe. He kind of got the guts to kill, but using it on a human is a different story. "I don't think I can kill people with it."
"Hesitation will lead to failure Roxas," Kairi informs him. "We can't have this and do not worry. You won't be killing anything other than Nobodies. If you met with one of the organization members, you will have to kill them if your life is in danger. However, it is also good that we catch one of them, so do not kill them."
"Wait what? That sounds confusing already to hear."
"If you battling with them, do not kill but injury. Kill if your life in on the line. Plain and simple," Yuffie describes in the simplest way. "Plus, you got the best weapons! I would kill you to even get that!"
Roxas then holds them with protection with worry. "Then I will keep these then," he replied with a firm look.
"Let's go guys!" Kairi said as Yuffie and Roxas put on the vest attaching the wire. Roxas puts on the criss-crossing katana sheath and puts his weapons inside them. "Don't be bothered Roxas. These wires are long enough to take us down. See ya!" she said swan diving.
"Wha—? Kairi!" Roxas shouted but sees his friend Yuffie falling backwards instead pulling him in. "Oh sh—AAAHHHH!" he screamed falling at such a great height. It was like he was sky diving, but everything was happening so fast that the his vision began to become blurry at the speed they were going in. In spite of this, he felt the adrenaline pumping in his blood at the thrill of it too. "This is awesome!"
"Glad you like it, but it will end soon so be prepare," Yuffie says. Roxas looks to the helicopter seeing it getting smaller by the second and looks down to see that they were getting closer the ground. "Yuffie…"
"Yeah?"
"How exactly are we landing?" he asked with worry.
"Like this." With that, he felt a sudden hard pull from the back, which was painful, and they were two feet away from the ground, and he saw Kairi make it look easy as she disconnected the wire and air kick a Nobody and land on the ground like she it was nothing. Roxas sees Yuffie on the ground already and tells him to come down. He unlatches himself and lands on feet, but felt a small sting in his legs since he is not used to this and it is his first time. Looking at the sight, it kind of felt terrifying like it was a war zone. The city is a complete mess now and where the heck was the emergency thing that tells citizens to evacuate.
Soon he gets fiercely grabbed by the Dancer and swings him around before throwing him in the air and lands to ground. "Ow!" he groaned rubbing the back of his head and getting up. "Didn't see that coming." Once he gets on his two feet, he takes out his two katanas from his back and holds both in a reverse grip. "Hahhh!" he screams scratching the two metals tips on the ground making small sparks, and lunges toward the Dancer slicing it with his weapon and then the other. Then he flips his weapons into what you normally hold a sword does a double slash again knocking it down. "Oh yeah!" he cheered rising one of his katanas in the air. "Dun dun da da dun dun dun da da! I feel like I'm in Final Fantasy." He watches it disappear into thin air before another one attacks him.
"I hope I don't see Lea, Arlene, and Isa anytime soon," he thought worried about confronting them about what is going on and his opinion on their leader has change since he seems to be the master mind behind all this.
At the high school…
The gang was huddle together with Sora, who was holding a flashlight, looking at the place. "You know, it sure does feel creepy being here alone," he said looking into the empty long hallways and empty classrooms. "You think someone died here and their spirit still lives on?"
"You my friend are getting too paranoid," Xion tells him, but hears a small noise from the distance making her jump.
"Too paranoid huh?" he said. "We know too well about ghosts since our crazy ghostly spring break."
"Don't remind me," Namine said searching the hallways as they head up the second floor. "I'm the one who got grabbed by one." A loud screeching noise is heard making the whole group jump and make small screams.
"I don't know about being here anymore. You sure we have to stay here?" Olette asked.
"The city is under siege, people are running and possibly getting killed, you want us to get endangered?" Hayner asked her hoping for a 'no'.
"Point taken," she said making him smile. She lets go of the group and heads towards her empty homeroom feeling like she is safe there. It kind of feels like a second home to her, but Kairi was missing and was starting to miss Roxas in her life. They had fun in the class before the whole Roxas-Namine debacle and she has known him for a long time. Kind of feels like Kairi stole her best friend since she is hanging out with him a lot. "Wonder how Sora is taking that?" she thought. "Come on guys," she calls out sliding her homeroom door. "In here."
Each person enters inside the classroom feeling somewhat safe. What they saw was that it was nearly open with all the desks and chairs all shoved to the end of the classroom. Sora, Hayner, and Olette decides to grab a chair while the others just sit down. Riku takes a seat and Namine sits by him laying her head on his arm holding onto it. "I'm worried about the others. We just left their house and who knows what is going on."
"I'm more importantly worried about Kairi," Sora blurted out having everyone's eyes on him.
"Then why did you let her go. Haven't you heard of working things out?" Namine asked him. "Your brother and I had to help her after your breakup."
"I still have this instinct that I cannot trust her unless I know what is really going on because feel like there is. I know she was not cheating on me, but I can tell there is something there."
"Kairi is not known to hide things. She is a terrible liar and that I can't trust her with secrets because of that," Olette explains. "Then again, I got nothing to hide. Not like I got much screen than the others if we were on a television show. Same goes for all of us except for Namine here."
"Our world does not revolve around Kairi. It never will Olette," Hayner points out.
"Haha, you know I always thought Kairi would make a terrible spy," Pence laughs about.
"Should would wouldn't she?" Sora agrees as everyone else agreed laughing about the idea. The two felt like having a normal conversation yet a disaster is going on, however unknown to them that outside of the school, a few Nobodies pass by the Sora and Riku's cars heading for the school.
I never thought I write this chapter faster than the last one. I looked at the screen and went blank. Then I listen to one musical piece from a video game called Chrono Cross made by Square-Enix, I mean Squaresoft. It really is a great game with a wonderful soundtrack.
And about Hoshi's age… I was confused on how old he is now. When I wrote him in the story, I was thinking him as a three-week-old puppy. However, it is May now and I'm still wondering how big he should be. If one of you readers knows about dog ages, then please tell me in the review.
Question: What do you guys think will happen in the last two chapters? With Roxas going double agent a little bit, what is going to happen in the future? What a small cliffhanger right? I want to know because I always like hearing your guys' thoughts. Sometimes it can truly give me ideas.
