Chapter 8

Riding through the streets of Celestial City made Kira's morning a little more enjoyable. It also gave her time to think about the night before. She was now a Keyblade master destined to defeat the Heartless and their leader Maleficent. Not to mention, she was also the same person as the Keyblade master in another dimension named Sora.

It was so much to take in. She needed more time to think. Instead of going straight to school, she turned a corner that lead in Twilight Park. It was the city's main attraction with the annual Winter Festival and Cherry Blossom Masquerade Ball.

In the center of the park was a fountain. This is where Kira stopped. She hopped off the bicycle and sat on the wooden bench in front of the fountain. Of course, the fountain had a name; The Celestial Forces. The base was a mixed of silver, gold, and bronze. Sprouting from the base were the three celestial forces: A silver crescent moon, a gold sun, and a bronze star.

As Kira started twirling the crown on her necklace around, she sensed something close. Was it Heartless? She grasped the Keychain on her skirt. She was ready for a battle.

She wasn't ready for a familiar booming voice calling for her. He appeared from the trail behind the bench. He wasn't hard to miss. Standing at 6'7", he was a giant. His shaggy blue hair and gleaming orange eyes weren't hard to miss either. This person was Genmu Hasada, Kira's best friend.

She screamed from the shock of him been there. She rose from the bench and punched him in the stomach. "How the hell did you find me?"

He held his stomach in pain. She was suddenly a lot stronger than before. "What was that for?"

She pointed at him. "Explain yourself!"

He was scared at this point. She must have not had breakfast yet. "I went to your house, but your mom said you rushed out of the house. I saw you on the bike and I gave chase. You alright?"

She was still angry at this point. "I would be better if you didn't scare the crap out of me!"

"Well, I'm sorry!"

"I'm going to school! Away from you, away from the Heartless, and away from Sora! I can't take it anymore!" Wow, the pressure had crushed her in less than twenty-four hours. It was a new record.

As she mounted her bike, she began to cry. She wasn't ready for all this stress. She sped away to school.

Genmu yelled to her, "You can't escape me! We go to the same school! And, who are the Heartless and Sora?" He started chasing her on feet. There was something very wrong with Kira Galeheart. And he was determined to discover what it was.
