Entire thing could have been better. At the end it started getting really forced. Trust me, Resident Evil games and movies to not go with Kingdom Hearts, never have and never will. In my opinion this sucks, but I refused to leave it unfinished, sorry it took so long to even do that. Hope everyone enjoyed their summer and I will start another one once things start to settle down.

I created the Sound of Madness
Wrote the book on pain
Somehow I'm still here
To explain
That the darkest hour never comes in the night
You can sleep with a gun
When you gonna wake up and fight... for yourself?

Kairi and Namine talked happily as they walked the sidewalks and towards their school, already having been back in the class for the past three weeks. After the fight had ended, they had ended up spending the rest of a peaceful summer with Shade. Peaceful as in, no one was shooting to kill at them, they weren't being held hostage, and whenever they heard someone threatening to kill another person it was more than likely they would only walk away with a black eye and a few other bruises instead of a bullet hole through the chest.

The guys had stayed an extra week and taken fighting lessons under Shadow, so that way they didn't go back completely stupid since that was what their parents had supposedly signed the permission slips for. Least to say, it was entertaining, and Roxas was making sure to use some of the moves on Riku to satisfy the revenge he needed. Overall, everything was as normal as it could be.

And in some areas, that was very unfortunate.

When they heard shouting they didn't hesitate when they ran the rest of the way and turned the corner, only to frown at the sight. Jessica was a new girl who had just moved into town, and unfortunately the jocks of the school, the exact same ones who had threatened Namine, had taken an interest in making her life a living hell. Large wire-rimmed glasses rested in front of green eyes and her outfit was a little messed up due to the fact that she was struggling to get back the books that were being held out of her reach. But being five-three made this task much harder.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" Kairi called, quickly walking up to the trio and distressed girl. Long brown hair fell messily around her shoulders, and every part of her suggested that she was a book worm and more than like over achiever.

"And why should we?" The leader mocked, earning snickers from his friends.

"Because right now you are proving that men have the ability to be abusive and idiotic at the same time." Namine said firmly, standing her ground as he growled at her. After a talk with Shadow a few weeks ago, she had been working harder to stand up for her and those weaker than their opponents.

"I would watch what you say. You're sister ain't here to take care of you anymore." Just as he finished the first warning bell to the school rang. His smirk returned. "Here you go."

Jessica winced as the book was dropped harshly on her head, thankfully the edge not landing a blow to her head, but it was still heavy nevertheless. As she slowly bent to pick it up she hadn't realized the small paper item in the jocks hand as the trio walked away, the book marker being tucked into his pocket as he went.

"Are you OK?" Kairi asked, bending down to also help her gather her belongings.

"Did I do something to make him mad at me?" She asked sadly, picking up her thrown backpack. "This book was a gift from my friends-" She gasped as she noticed the pretty lime green marker missing from the pages. Glancing frantically around and not finding it, she let out a distressed wail, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall.

Namine quickly went to comforting the girl, setting delicate hands on her shoulders as they walked towards the school. Kairi walked on the other side of her and the sisters exchanged a look that the sniffling girl didn't see.

Her pink cellphone came out and the redhead dialed the number she knew by heart, holding it to her ear as the final warning bell rang off.

"This is Shade. Leave your name, number, and the job you need done. I'll get back to you."

Lunch was going normally. Kairi and Namine had taken to making sure Jessica ate with them along with Sora, Roxas, and Riku which they were once again doing, with the exception of the guys, who were nowhere to be found. She had gotten a hold of herself, but was still saddened by the loss of her gift from her close friends in her old hometown. Kairi was currently talking to her about the things she liked about Destiny Islands when the cafeteria doors slammed open, revealing a breathless Sora. "Everyone! Tyler and his cronies are hanging from the gym walls!" The entire place fell silent for a moment before everyone was rushing out of their seats and towards the doors, eager to see if this was true.

Kairi and Namine looked at each other before getting up with Jessica. They quickly made their way through the crowed and the large double doors, immediately met with packs of students who occupied the space.

An unknown reason was the cause of the sudden pathway that opened up to them, and the three girls walked through with little resistance towards the back of the gym, where Riku, Sora, and Roxas were standing with wide grins on their faces. Kairi and Namine stepped up next to them, looking at their faces before following their gazes. Their own lips formed into smiles while Jessica gasped from beside them.

Tyler, apparently the leader of the trio, was currently a good twenty feet off the ground, being suspended against the wall by nothing except duck tape. Layers of the gray and sticky product were keeping them in an 'X' position, spanning across their chests and stomachs, arms, and legs. All three were struggling, their voices muffled by the duck tape that was wrapped firmly around their heads and across their mouths. Disheveled clothes and hair only added to the amusing sight. Finally a large white paper in the shape of the balloon with the tail placed by Tyler's mouth was taped neatly against the wall. "Free target practice."

Kairi and Namine started laughing, knowing who was behind it but deciding not to say. When Namine looked down and noticed the little white envelope at the base of the wall she walked up and picked it up, opening the unsealed flap and taking out the piece of paper.

"This one is on me, 'cause I had a good time doing it."

She saw the colored item inside and smiled, walking up to Jessica and handing her the note along with her book marker. Jessica scanned the letter and slowly looked up at the twins, blinking in confusion. "Who would do something like this for me?"

They just shrugged, and Kairi shook her head. "I don't know, but something tells me they won't be messing with you again for a while."

Jessica had a blank look for a minute before a smile spread across her face, her giggling joining with the rest of the students as they watched the struggling trio.

"Hey Tyler." Riku called, smirking as he crossed his arms over his chest. "You sure you want to try to get free? Being twenty feet above the ground and all..." He let the sentence die off.

The teenager was immediately motionless.
