Chapter 11

Blood. That's all Kira could see. It was spilling out of her from her stomach. Her best friend had just stabbed her. Well, her former best friend did.

The five Shadows surrounded her. She couldn't fight them. She could barely use her right arm. Which was her Keyblade arm. Her stomach was pouring out blood like it was a waterfall. She was doomed.

'You can't give up! Fight the pain and destroy them!' Sora's voice yelled in her head. Now he was her personal cheerleader. Fantastic.

She screamed, "How can I? I've been rendered useless! What am I suppose to do?"

She saw a transparent image of Sora beside her. 'It's called switch arms. I'm ambidextrous. That's means you should be too.' The Heartless started closing in. 'Just do it!'

She grabbed the Keychain off her skirt with her left hand. The Keyblade appeared in her hand in a flash of light. She swung it at the Shadow closest to her. It was just as easy using it as it was with her right hand.

"Guess you were right. I got it from here. But, what about my stomach?"

Sora slightly grinned. 'Don't worry about it. I send someone to assist you. He'll heal you right up!'

She nodded in happiness. She might not die after all. Hooray for not dying!

As Sora's image disappeared, she began hacking away at the remaining Heartless. It wasn't too hard; Shadows were easy prey. In a matter of minutes, all of them were defeated.

She looked around. It was utter chaos. The building began evacuating, everyone trying to avoid the Heartless threat. The innocents didn't need to be harmed. This was going too far.

A voice called out to her in confusion. She turned, seeing Genmu staring at her with wide eyes. He ran toward her. His uniform was partially shredded from Heartless attacks. His face frightened from the sight of the blood and the Keyblade. "What the hell is going on?" he questioned.

She couldn't hide it now. He saw too much already. "The things attacking the school are called Heartless. They're made from the darkness in people's hearts. A witch named Maleficent controls them to destroy us. But today, Luna summoned them here."

He was in disbelief. "What does that have to do with you having a giant key and a gaping stomach wound? And, what about Luna?"

"It has everything to do with me. I have a destiny now. I have to stop the Heartless from killing us all. As for Luna, she turned on me. She joined Maleficent for power. I have to stop her too."

He grabbed her right hand into both of his. "You can't do this alone. I may not understand everything yet. But, I will in time. I just can't have you dying on me. I'm here for you."

She slowly released her hand. "I don't know how you can help. Besides, you'll only get hurt in the process." She scanned the area. Not a soul to see. "I have to go. Goodbye Genmu."

She ran off into the foyer of the school, slashing Shadows along the way. He would never be able to help her. This was something she had to do on her own. A path no one but her could follow.

When she arrived to the foyer, Luna stood there waiting on her. That same evil smile was still plastered on her face. Beside her was a boy. He looked at little older than Kira. His long curly brown hair matched the coldness of his chocolate colored eyes. He wore all black, including his trench coat. He was gorgeous.

Luna laughed. "Seems you can't give up. You really must want to die. I can certainly help with that."

The boy didn't look happy about that. He probably felt sorry for Kira. She guessed anyone would at this point.

Luna continued, "Or Alexander here could do it for me. But, I'm bored. And besides, he needs to handle our guest."

"Guest?" She turned back, seeing Genmu standing there. "Get out of here! Now!"

A key appeared in Alexander's hand. Two gray and red chakrams that made up the Keyblade were joined by a metal eight and they also had eight total spikes. Oh great, more people with Keyblades.

Genmu stood in front of her. "You won't lay a hand on her!"

Alexander smiled. Did he have fangs? "I think the poor girl has been through enough. It's you I'm laying my hands on. Say your prayers."

He slashed Genmu with his Keyblade, sending him into the wall. "Pathehic weakling."

Kira began to cry. Genmu was going to die for her. She didn't want that. She started to run to his side, but was stopped in her tracks. A giant sword was now inches away from her face.
