Kingdom Hearts:Birth by Sleep-Book 1-Chapter 3
DISCLAIMER:I do not own Kingdom Hearts,Squeenix, and Tetsuya Nomura do. Disney worlds belong to Disney.
I sprung up from my bed, surprised and excited about my recent dream.
"Always remember that." the ominous voice had told me never to forget that the Heart is the most obvious weak point.
In a way, I knew what he was talking about, but then I didn't know what he was talking about.
It confused me so much that I spent ten minutes thinking about it, wondering if this was a hint to future events.
Probably. I answered myself.
For some reason, that dream was so real; too real for me to ignore it.
I scanned over my room; same green walls, green carpets, a little messy here and there.
A typical seventeen-year-old's room. At least I thought so.
Looking out my window, I knew that it was still nighttime.
There was a disturbance off on the play island, the one that those two little boys, Sora and Riku, played on constantly.
I heard yelling and screaming, as if the world was ending. What trouble did they get into now? I asked myself knowing that Riku and Sora always got into trouble doing something.
At least I never got caught. I chuckled, remembering all of the things I had done when I was little.
I curled my right hand into a fist, still remembering the icy metal of the Keyblade.
I wonder if I can still summon it. In unison, I reached out my right hand towards some unknown destination hoping to summon the Keyblade once again.
Nope, can't summon it.
Despite the fact of it being the middle of the night, I jumped out of bed still wearing nothing but boxers and t-shirt.
I hopped out of the window and started sprinting towards my boat hoping to see what Sora and Riku were doing.
Usually they got into trouble for really dumb reasons, like when they got into trouble for running around naked playing with the Mayor's hose.
Or when they put chewed up chewing gum all over the street so that Sora's mom couldn't leave for work that day. Obviously, it didn't stop Sora's mom's car.
I remember Ven's, my best friend, shoes had gum on their soles for weeks. He was so angry at them for months after that, same as the rest of the town was.
I got into my wooden boat and drifted out to sea a little bit before rowing the oars, heading in the direction of the play island.
A few pieces of wood floated past me, along with some nails and two oars.
They probably smashed their boats by play-fighting. I guessed.
As I got closer to the island, I saw that they were being chased around by some tall shadowy figure.
"Sora!" Riku screamed.
"He's chasing us!"Riku screamed again.
"It's all your fault, Riku!" Sora yelled back, blaming him for some unknown act.
"If you didn't make me go to that stupid cave, this wouldn't have happened!"
"How was I supposed to know that the creepy old geezer would be there?" Riku asked, trying to get Sora to stop blaming him.
"I got you, little boy!" the figure shouted as he grabbed Riku.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Riku shouted in defeat.
"RIKU, DON'T LEAVE ME!!"
I started rowing as fast as I possibly could. Finally I got to the island, running towards the battle of Riku and the shadowy figure.
The figure turned out to be a boy about my age with bright, spiky orange hair, and bright green eyes. He had on a black-exoskeleton suit,
What an ugly combination. I silently insulted.
Sora had fallen over in tears, and Riku had been knocked out. I decided that it was time to step in.
"Isn't it kind of sad that you get your kicks by torturing little children?" I asked, hoping to get his attention.
"Who said this was any of your business?" he retaliated.
He turned around and casually walked towards the secret cave, Riku hanging over his shoulder.
I walked over to Sora, who was bawling his eyes off.
"Sora?" I asked.
He looked up at me, got up, and hugged my leg as hard as he could.
"Hello there, young one." an elderly voice echoed from the cave.
I stared at the entrance, and by doing so, I saw an elderly old man emerge from the shadows.
He was bald with orange eyes, pointy ears, and the only hair he had was a silver goatee on his chin.
He was wearing a black coat with no hood, that had many belts and straps on it. Under the coat was a white shirt with black buttons, that split into a v-shape at his thighs. His leather coat went all the way down to his ankles. On his hands were white gloves that had three buttons, somewhat matching his undershirt. Under his cape, he had black pants, and black boots that went up to his knees, covering about half of his legs.
Dangling in his hand was Riku, held by the back of his shirt.
"Let him go!" I yelled, desperate to make sure that he wouldn't harm Riku.
"I see..." the old man simply answered.
Sora had let go of my leg and had picked up his wooden sword, aiming it at the old man.
"Throw that at me child, and you'll never see this boy again." he threatened.
Sora threw it anyway, and it hit the old man right on the head.
"I have warned you child." the old man smiled maniacally. Poking Riku in a certain spot on his neck, Riku awakened from his fainting looking more scared than ever.
"What happened?" Riku asked, half in reality.
"This boy has forgotten everything that has happened tonight." the old man claimed. "Now young man, give me the other one so they can return to their warm beds and forget this ever happened."
"Why should I trust you?" I asked.
"Because if you don't give him to me right now, I will have to kill them both." he warned.
I looked down at Sora, then at the old man. "Fine."
"No Terra!' Sora screamed as the orange-haired teen grabbed him from me.
The old man hit Sora and Riku on the neck with two fingers, in result, they fainted.
All three of them disappeared for a moment, then the old man returned alone.
"Where did you take them?"
"I put them back in their beds, just as I said I would." the elder claimed.
"Now Igneous, grab this boy." the man ordered. Before I could respond, Igneous did just as the old man said, and grabbed me by the ankles.
"What are you doing?" I questioned.
"I am bringing you along so you can help us find some certain people." the old man replied.
I struggled for a while, but I stopped only because Igneous was much stronger than me.
We arrived on the main island where the town was. "Now, the first target is a fifteen-year-old boy named Ventus Toshi." "Do you know this boy?" he leaned in close to my face, so close that I could smell his breath. And I'll tell you, it wasn't pleasant.
In fact, I did know Ventus. He was the friend I told you about earlier, Ven. But I wasn't going to tell the old man that.
I remember the first day I met Ven-
About a year ago, when I was sixteen, and Ven was fourteen, I woke up at 4:00 AM, because someone was groaning really loudly. So, I got up out of bed and jumped out of the window to go tell whoever was moaning to shut up. Finally I got to the source, and I found a blonde, spiky-haired boy rolling on the sand, groaning like a dying cow.
I went up close to see who he was, and I found out that he was actually sleeping.
I poked him for about ten minutes before he finally woke up. He asked me where he was, and who I was.
I told him that I was the most awesome person in the world, and that he had been lucky to be able to talk to me. He didn't believe me, of course.
Finally I got some information out of him. I guessed he had amnesia, or some kind of memory loss, because he told me that he knew only his name and age. Taking pity on him, I escorted him back to my house, hoping my mother would take him in.
She did.
Ever since that day, Ven and I have been friends. I guess he took a liking to me because I was the first thing and person he had ever seen after losing his memory.
"Do you know this boy or not?"
The elderly man jerked me out of my memories with the repeated question.
"Nope, not at all." I lied.
"Do not lie to me." the old man warned me.
Igneous started pounding me, and after a few minutes the old man asked another question.
"Where does Ventus Toshi live?"
"Why should I tell you?" I asked casually.
"Because I said so." the old man said back.
I lay there on the ground for a few minutes, glancing at Igneous once or twice.
Three simple words: "Igneous, kill him."
"Fine!" I yelled. "Fine, I'll tell you where he lives." I hoped Ven wouldn't be too mad at me.
"Very good, tell us." the old man commanded.
"It's just up the street, six houses." I winced at imagining Ven's expression when he found out that I told his kidnappers where he lived.
"You better be telling the truth or I'll-"
"Igneous, leave him alone." Igneous started muttering after that. I didn't know what he said because I was still being dragged on the sand.
Ten minutes later Igneous came out dragging Ven out of his house. "Let me go!" Ven shouted.
"Ow!" Igneous yelped. I saw that Ven had dug his teeth in Igneous's arm, biting down as hard as he could.
"Hi Ven."
He looked at me, then at Igneous.
"They're trying to kidnap you." I informed the stunned teen.
"I noticed, thanks for the info." Ven sarcastically thanked me.
"Now, we need to find Aqua Haruki."
Ven and I looked at eachother, our eyes were wide open;Aqua was our best friend.
"She's on the next street, three houses down." Ven stared at me in confusion.
"Why are you helping them?" Ven whispered.
"Because they'll kill me if I don't."
"Kill you?" Ven laughed.
"The old guy's tougher than he looks." I claimed.
Igneous had gone into Aqua's house and dragged her out as well.
"I swear it, carrot-top, touch me and you're dead." the blue-haired girl warned.
"I'd like to see you try, little girl." Igneous smirked.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you-"Igneous grinned at me, and I hoped he wasn't going to say what I thought he was going to say.
"Your little friend here," he nodded at me."was the one who told us where you lived."
Aqua and Ven both stared at me for a few minutes. I knew they would give me revenge one day, and I DID deserve it, I guess.
"Now we need Terra Hamada."
He leaned in close to me again, invading my personal space and my breathing space.
"Nope, never heard of him." I enunciated quickly.
Master Xehanort looked at Ven and Aqua, who smiled evilly;the day of revenge had arrived.
Now all three of us were being dragged towards the edge of town.
Master Xehanort shot out his gloved hand in front of him, and a huge dark portal appeared in front of us.
"Happy flying!" Igneous said as he threw all three of us into the dark void.
NOTE:If anyone finds this chapter to be dirty, or perverted, please don't take it that way. This story has no yaoi, and is not written to be meant as perverted. Happy Day!
ALSO: If anyone can tell me what Ven's last name means in English(his last name is Japanese), you'll get an extra chapter per chapter I write this week! (Ven's last name is Toshi) If you do know what his last name means, you'll understand why I chose that specific one. At the end of this week, I will tell you what his last name means, if no one has guessed yet.
