Chapter 16 - Changing
"Who are you?!" demanded Keiko
"My name doesn't matter!" replied the blonde boy.
Keiko attacked him more with her ribbons, it seems it doesn't do much damage to the boy. He ran at her with her keyblade, she dodged his attack and ran into the corner of the small courtyard, stumbling over some of the cobbles. The black high heels really weren't helping…
"You don't need to attack me!"
"I think I do! You freaks are always trying crazy shit!"
The ribbons didn't work well on him; he seemed to have strong defence...
"What am I gonna do?!"
Keiko heard the song change, she could only hear it slightly, but it was her only shot.
Oooh you
You and your head high
And your tears dry
Get on without your guy
And I, I, I went back to what I knew
So far removed from all we been through
And you and you, you, you tread a troubled track
Your odds are always stacked
You'll go back to black
She looked over at the blonde spikey haired boy, trying to figure out what kind of guy he was and whether this would affect him at all. She looked deep into his eyes… and she changed… the boy took in a breath as he saw who'd she'd become. Keiko knew immediately there's no way he'd attack her like this… she looked down at herself, she was wearing light blue sandals and a white dress. It all came so natural to Keiko, it's like someone had programmed it into her brain what she had to do to defeat this guy.
"I, I loved you much
It's not enough
I love blow and you love puff
And life, is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside"/em
She sung to him and he edged closer to her, not drawing his eyes away from her, he got rid of his weapon and got rid of his defensive stance. He looked at her in way which Keiko had never been looked at before… there was so much emotion in his eyes she'd never seen anything like it. It pulled at her heart… she'd never been looked at this way before by any guy. Whoever she was… he obviously had a lot of love for her. He slowly got closer and held her hand.
"Namine, I've not seen you in ages…" he said.
She broke eye contact with him, she couldn't do it. She felt like she was killing him… by breaking the eye contact she changed back to her normal self, in the high heels and bunny ears. Then something changed inside her.
"You idiot." she said to herself inside her head.
She grabbed his hand hard and pulled him to the ground and kneed him in the chest. He collapsed on the ground in pain. She felt nothing, not guilt or regret. Nothing. She stared at him for a while whilst he clutched at his ribs on the floor. He was definitely one of them, she jabbed at him with her high heel.
"What are you?" she demanded
"I'm just like you…" he replied
"I doubt it"
"I'll get you back for that" he said bitterly
"Oh… I bet you will" she smirked
"Keiko, what are you doing?!" Hiyuki said in a I'm-trying-to-be-quiet-but-failing tone of voice.
"I found this little freak trying to get in through the back exit, get the bouncers and make sure he's thrown out"
"Uh sure…" she ran off to get one of the muscley hard faced bouncers.
She returned soon after with a bouncer who grabbed him and dragged him through a back gate, they didn't want to soil their hard earned reputation by dragging him straight through the club, revealing that anyone could get in.
"You're an amazing singer! But how did you transform I mean like what even was that?!" Hiyuki said when they'd left, almost exploding with excitement.
"Look it's nothing… but you've got to promise me Hiyuki, you cannot tell a single soul okay?"
"Alright… BUT when I become famous you've GOT to sing for me on my tracks, okay?!"
"Fine!"
"YAY" she screeched.
"What are you two dumbos doin' out here? Get back to work!" Cani kicked open the back door and barked at them.
They scuttled inside right away and got back to work. Keiko had forgotten all about the freaks in the booth and it slightly shocked her when she found them all staring at her as she entered.
"Well… at least we know what we're up against I guess… she looks like a weakling" Xigbar said
"What does the superior want with her anyway?" asked Demyx before he slurped his drink.
"We need all the help we can get if we're gonna take on that Sora" said Luxord
"She'll be easy… she's weak, I can tell!"
How wrong they were…
