Kingdom Hearts:Birth by Sleep Zero-Book 1:Chapter 5
DISCLAIMER:I do not own characters Terra, Aqua, Ven, Master Xehanort, and DS/Igneous. They belong to Squeenix and Nomura-san. I do not own any Disney worlds, Yen Sid, Mickey, or any other Disney characters, they belong to Disney.
Apprentice? I wondered to myself.
"Where are we, anyway?" I questioned my friends.
"How am I supposed-" Ven started, but was interrupted by the elder named Yen Sid.
"You are in the castle where people train to master the secrets of the Keyblade."
"Keyblade?" Aqua and Ven were completely blank, unlike I was;the dream I had was still fresh in my mind.
"Well, you never told me what it was called, right?"
"This "thing" is called the Keyblade, it is the strongest weapon in the existence of everything."
After the flashback ended, I struggled to remember what the voice had called my weapon.
Eternal...something. I DO remember it had a pretty cheesy name, though. Well, at least I thought so.
My friends noticed my absence of focusing on the present, for Ven waved his hand in front of my face to snap me out of my flashback.
Upon returning to the present, I felt pressure on my wrist. Turning to look at it, I noticed that Yen Sid still had his hand glued to the same spot for the past few minutes.
"Uh, mister, ummmm..." I started.
"Yes, child?" he answered my stuttering.
"Are you going to let go of me, or-"
"Yes, yes, sorry." I thought I saw a trace of blush on his pale cheeks as he released his grip.
"Thanks." I muttered quietly.
All four of us plus Mickey were silently walking down the hall, what destination awaited for us was uncertain, except for Yen Sid.
I swiftly sniffed my armpits, which had started to smell like Master Xehanort's breath. Maybe even worse...
Ven noticed this, and started to notice the smell himself. He grimaced, even though he wasn't the closest one to the smell.
Both Aqua and Ven slowly shuffled away from me, but before they could, I wrapped my arm around their shoulders and hugged them. I was much stronger than both of them, so when they tried to shove my arms off of them, I just hugged them even tighter.
"God, Terra!" Aqua yelled in frustration.
"Let us go!" Ven yelled in unison.
"But you're my best friends..." I laughed innocently.
"Yeah, but you smell like a cat's butt, so let go!" Ven yelled while plugging his nose.
"How would you know what a cat's butt smells like?" I asked him.
"Hmmmm, like when you pinned me down to the ground, picked up my cat, and shoved her butt in my face and kept her there for an hour."
"Oh, yeah, now I remember." I remembered the day perfectly, as if it were yesterday.
I couldn't have forgotten that even if I tried. I said to myself.
"You remember that!?" I asked Ven loudly.
"It was two weeks ago." he snapped.
Aqua started choking from the smell, so I let both of them go, and they ran ahead of me next to Yen Sid.
Mickey came up behind me and tested out how I smelled, instantly covering his mouth and making a puke noise.
"Do you want a hug too?" I smiled at him, not forgetting how he had tripped me.
He shut his eyes tight a shook his head quickly.
"Awwwww, come on!" I grinned mischievously.
Mickey ran ahead as well, even passing Aqua, Ven, and Yen Sid.
"Lonely, I'm mister lonely..." I started singing.
"More like mister smelly." Aqua replied back.
Finally, we came to our destination; a huge blue and gold door loomed above us, covered with stars and moons like the ones on Yen Sid's hat. Actually, I take that back;it towered above us.
Yen Sid thrust out his pale right hand at the door, and we heard a huge click.
"Mickey, open the door." Yen Sid commanded.
"Can he actually open a door like that?" Ven asked out loud.
In response, Mickey knocked six times, and a human sized door opened out of bigger one.
Yen Sid and Mickey walked through it, and all three of us followed.
Inside was a huge hallway, not unlike the ones outside. It was covered in stars and moons, and the background was a royal blue.
The main hallway split off into several smaller ones, though Yen Sid just passed them and headed for another starry door, about half of the size of the big one that led to the main hall.
Mickey opened the door with ease, and inside was a circular room colored deep crimson red.
A desk stood in the middle of the room, and behind it was a black desk chair facing a set of three huge windows, like any other modern one.
"I have brought you the children you requested for, Master Oni." Yen Sid bowed his head as low as he could;Mickey sunk to the ground and bowed as well.
"Thank you, Yen Sid." a deep, elderly voice echoed from the onyx chair, a familiar one.
For the life of me, I couldn't remember where I had heard that same voice.
"You may return to your duties." the voice offered.
"Certainly."
And with that, Yen Sid and Mickey left the room in silence.
"Your names are Ventus, Aqua, and Terra, correct?" the disembodied voice questioned.
"Actually, I hate the name Ventus, so you can just call me-" Ven was interrupted by Master Oni.
"Yes, that's very nice."
Ven tightened his limp hand into tight fist. He always had hated it when people interrupted him.
Master Oni swiveled his chair around, gluing our eyes to him in awe.
He looked almost exactly like Xehanort;same face, same silver goatee. The only things that kept us from believing it WAS Xehanort, was that instead of amber eyes, he had silvery-white eyes.
His outfit was the complete oppisite of Xehanort's; it was inverted to white, with the underside of the cape inverted to royal blue. His boots were pure white with black rims at the top. The gloves were the only thing not inverted, staying pure white like the rest of his outfit.
"I see you've noticed resemblance between me and my twin." Oni announced.
We nodded in silence.
Master Oni simply grinned, not different from when Xehanort smirked after he found out that I had tripped clumsily over Mickey.
"Well, since you're here, I should probably inform you of why I had people drag you here."
