Hey I'm back!
Shoutouts to...
TWI1IGHTMA3TER: Thanks! Plus I tried to make it seem depressing because that's what makes a story dramatic!
xXellesmeraXx: I purposely tried to make Amicus and Amare like Riku and Kairi and Jack to Sora in this story, to make it relate to Sora's situation. And I tried to make it seem like Jack would be wandering forever to bring justice for his death. And I really appreciate your opinion!
1mNobody: Thanks! That means a lot to me!
TerraKH: I really am anxious to find out what happens to Jack after he becomes a father! Keep writing!
Anyway, I have to announce that I am making another story to explain One's relationship to Xehanort. This story is my main priority though, so I may not update it as frequently as this one.
Anyway.. To chapter 12 my friends!
One finished her story and all was quiet. The youngest of the group started at her with big, wide eyes, longing for her to continue. The oldest were impressed by her ability to make up stories on the spot.
But in the end, all of them loved the story of Jack Frost. They all sipped hot chocolate under the moonlight, staring at the stars. A cool, calm breeze rushed over them, and then Sora-Xehanort heard a young boy no older than seven say,
"It's Jack Frost!"
Everyone's laughter filled the air. Then, one pointed out a shooting star soaring through the sky. Sora-Xehanort saw One's eyes gleam for a moment, then it was gone.
All of the people then closed their eyes and made a wish. Sora-Xehanort crossed his fingers, and then made a wish that he will always want.
I wish that I can be who I once was.
After that, everyone else went home, for they wanted to be up as early as they could to celebrate the festival tomorrow.
One took Sora-Xehanort's hand and led him to the Train Station. She summoned her keyblade to be turned into a keyblade rider. She motioned for him to get on with her. She said,
"Hoped you liked the festival."
Smiling, he replied back, "Yeah, I did. I really liked your tale of Jack Frost."
Suddenly, One looked away, saddened about what he had said.
But she shook it off and replied, "He was somebody that I used to know."
Confused, Sora-Xehanort was about to ask what she meant by that, but One held up her hand to silence him.
"Some things are just better left unsaid."
"But can I just ask you one thing One?"
"What is it?"
"Can you tell me why your keyblade is called Oath Binder?"
Surprised with the sudden change of topic, One was caught off guard for the first time in her life. She just silently comprehended whether or not to tell him now or later.
She chose later.
"I promise you Sora, I'll tell you why after tomorrow's training."
Having forgotten about his training, thinking about it again sent a groan out of his throat. Meanwhile, One was laughing inwardly at how she was going to show him more moves that would surprise him.
With that, they took off into the everlasting night, the chilly night air following them back to Watcher's Tower.
Kairi could feel the cold north wind stinging at the back of her neck, chilling her to the bone. But she wouldn't stop now, not until she found him.
She had already picked up some tips from other people from Radiant Garden, that they might have had the slightest clue where Watcher's Tower might be. Apparently, they were wrong.
"I really need to check my sources." Kairi sighed to herself.
She knew that she couldn't go to Twilight Town yet, as she had one more claim to check out. Plus, the town held too many bad experiences for her to want to investigate there yet.
She had to go to a place where her Nobody once lived.
Castle Oblivion.
Kairi remembered that Riku made her swear not to tell any of this to Sora, as he couldn't remember anything of this cursed place. But she also had known about it from Namine's memories.
She also felt what Namine felt, about her forced use of her powers on Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Kairi also felt partly responsible for what happened, as it was her Nobody who did the deed.
She shook the thoughts from her mind, she couldn't have any distractions.
The ship landed with a wobble, other than that it was fine. Kairi exited the ship quick and quiet. Even though the Organization was supposed to be gone, it couldn't hurt to be careful.
She slipped trough the doorway and immediately she knew there was a dark presence in the room.
Kairi knew who it was.
She tried to make it through the threshold but it was too late…
They had found her.
Kairi took out Destiny's Embrace and prepared to fight the New Organization 13 members.
Xehanort appeared as well as his other selves. They surrounded her into a circle. She still wouldn't give in, and stood in preparation to fight all twelve of them.
Xehanort, for once, didn't look like he enjoyed this. He even seemed to loathe standing here.
But that didn't stop him from commanding his Seekers of Darkness to attack her.
She through off the black coats getting close to her, but eventually Young Xehanort tripped her and she fell into their clutches.
The young teen asked his older self, "What should we do with the trespasser?"
The old man sighed, but answered,
"We shall see how long the light and dark incarnate would risk his precious light."
Then Xehanort's disciples took the Princess of Heart and left, leaving Xehanort by himself.
Once he was sure that everyone had left, he walked up to the entrance of Castle Oblivion, all the while wondering.
Did he have a choice?
Hey hope you guys thought this created drama! Sorry this took so long to post! Had a bad case of writer's block!
Anyway.. Review Question!
Did you like Xehanort's inner turmoil?
