Kingdom Hearts:Birth by Sleep Zero-Book 1-Chapter 12
DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything except my own characters :) ALSO NOTE: I have changed Terra's story to book 1, 2, and 3, while Aqua's is book 4, 5, and 6. Ven's story is book 7-9. This chapter is dedicated to Nightshroud and projectfreg91 for reviewing. Thank you, you all have made me work even harder on this story! ANOTHER NOTE: I won't be able to write as often as I would want to (school and church), so if I don't update for a few days, don't worry, even if I haven't submitted a chapter for a week, I will not quit this story. :)
Thank you, Eternal Symphonia
DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything, blah blah, you get the point, right?
"Stupid cat." I muttered as Yuki, the snowy white cat, started to follow me. It was the day after I got her, and she had constantly followed me around for hours. She even jumped up on my bed while I was sleeping, and curled up on my head.
"Meow!" Yuki innocently batted at my pants leg.
"Go away, I have to go train." I nudged her away softly.
Looking at the clock made me hurry;making me almost trip over Yuki. "Can't you go play with your toys?" After this, she meowed again and rubbed against me.
Before I ran out to the main hall, I looked back at her and slammed the door in her face.
"Finally, I get time away from that thing." Even though I felt bad about calling Yuki a "thing" afterwards, I couldn't help but remember how annoying she was.
"Welcome, Terra." Master Oni greeted as I entered his office.
"Not surprisingly, you are the first one here." I glanced around his study to find out that, once again, Aqua and Ven were not even here.
At that, Aqua burst into the room and apologized for being late.
"If you are late one more time this month, you will have to be punished." Master Oni warned.
"Yes, Master Oni." Aqua bowed in apology.
"Hi!" Ven burst in the room almost the same way Aqua did.
"Hello, I see you're the first one here Ventus." Master Oni sarcastically greeted ven.
Ven rubbed the back of his head and bowed. "Sorry." he chuckled.
A sudden thought came to my mind.
"Master Oni, you know when Geezernort raised Mickey's rank?" I asked.
"You mean Master Xehanort?" Master Oni "corrected" me.
"Sure." I "agreed".
Master Oni raised his eyebrow at my refusal to respect Geezernort.
"Do we get to have our rank raised as well?" I ended with a grin.
"Eventually, yes." Master Oni informed us. "Only if you're on time to our training sessions, though." he added while staring daggers at Ven and Aqua. In response, Ven and Aqua glued their stare to the carpet in embarrassment.
"Okay, I'm done." I announced.
"Good." Master Oni smiled.
"Now, every day you train, you will have more than just one subject and teacher." Master Oni informed us.
Ven and I sighed tremendously while Aqua's eyes twinkled in anticipation.
"You will learn mathematics-" Master Oni was interrupted by Ven booing at the first subject. I knew Ven had hated Math, so it wasn't a surprise to me. "Keep your mouth shut." Master Oni ordered Ven.
"Mathematics, History, Language Arts, Health-" Master Oni was interrupted once again, except it was because Ven had yelped in horror at having to learn health. Most of Health class didn't bother Ven, but some very "descriptive" parts of Health freaked the crap out of him.
"I told you Ventus, if you do not keep that mouth of yours shut, I'll make sure you never want to speak again." Master Oni pointed his white finger at Ven while raising his silver eyebrow.
"But Health class is scary!" Ven yelled while closing his eyes in horror.
"Too bad." Master Oni unsympathetically concluded much to Ven's dismay.
"Health, Second Languages, Cooking-" Master Oni was interrupted for a third time by Ven's booing.
"Boooooooo!" Ven rudely yelled.
"Cooking's for women!" At this, Aqua slapped Ven across the face for his disrespect towards cooking and women.
"What was that for?" Ven asked while rubbing his cheek. Aqua didn't respond.
"Cooking, Botanical Study, Magical Arts, Keyblade Training, Study Hall, Science, Geography, and one extra class." Master Oni listed off all of the classes.
"What options are there for the extra class?" Aqua asked while repeating all of our thoughts.
"Let's see, Woodworking, Art, Choir, Piano, Astronomy, Chemistry, and advanced versions of the classes you will be taking." Master Oni listed the extra classes while brushing the tips of his gloved fingers lightly.
"Here." Master Oni held out three papers.
I was the first one to grab one of the sheets. It was a sign-up sheet of which the extra classes were listed with check-off boxes next to them.
Then he thrust out his gloved hand with three pencils intertwined between.
When I tried to grab one of them, he pulled his hand away. Then, I tried to grab one again, but failed.
"You may take the pencil." Master Oni allowed while uncurling his previously tightened glove, making a crunching sound from the white leather.
So, I tried again, but to no avail I failed.
"I said, you can take the pencil." Master Oni repeated with a mischievous smirk apparent on his wrinkly face.
"Will you let me?" I repeated Master Oni's grin in anticipation of long awaited challenge.
He simply dropped the yellow pencil into my outstretched hand. Even though he made it seem extremely easy, I knew that it wasn't.
I slowly set my hand down upon the paper, but as soon as I did, Master Oni had the pencil back in his hand.
That's weird; I didn't even see him touch it.
"Master Oni!" the midnight blue door to the study slammed harshly upon the wall.
"Yes?" Master Oni responded to the matching voice.
"That filthy little cockroach is guilty!" Master Xehanort blamed me for some unknown crime.
"I didn't do anything!" I claimed to Master Xehanort's anger.
"Come here, filth." Mr.Clean pointed to the floor in front of him.
"Yeah, right." I turned around in my chair to face Master Oni.
The bald man came up behind me and pinched my neck with no intention of mercy. He then dragged me out to the main hall where all of the students were gathered.
As I was helplessly being dragged towards a destination unknown, the other students' curious eyes were thrust into my direction.
In return, I waved with a fragile grin plastered on my face. To my delight, some of the other oddly dressed students waved back in reply.
What do I do to get myself out of this? I wonder...
I quickly threw my hand out to summon Eternal Horizons. The cerulean blue, tarnished gold, and scarlet blade appeared in my outstretched hand.
To make Master Xehanort let go of my neck, I swung my blade upon his back lightly to warn him that the most ugly sword in the world had returned to punish him for disrespecting it's master.
Well, okay, I didn't even know how to use it exactly, so I couldn't possibly be it's "master"; but I can dream, can't I?
"What!?" Xehanort twisted his upper body to see what had brushed his shoulder. From doing that, I slashed the blade across his nose, resulting in giving him a light cut. The cut hadn't started to bleed until Master Geezernort crossed his eyes at the point of pain. The blood ran down each side of his pale nose, contradicting his almost pure white skin.
"You fiend." he whispered. I grinned at him in a mischievousness.
"My awesomeness surpasses yours." I triumphantly grinned at his scowl.
"Since when are you "awesome"?" Master Xehanort disbelieved my "claim".
"Don't argue with awesomeness." I shook my index finger in front of his face.
"Bah!" Xehanort yelled in disgust.
"Bah." I mocked him with my eyes crossed and tongue stuck out.
"That is enough talking child; rise and fight!" Master Xehanort ordered with his trademark grin.
In response, I rose to my feet and held Eternal Horizons in my right hand.
"Okay." I shrugged innocently.
As Master Xehanort sprinted to thrash me with his fiery blade, I quickly raised my Keyblade to block. Xehanort smiled as if he had something up his sleeve.
He did, for he stuck out his unused left hand to face me with Darkness shrouding it.
Gotta think fast...Jump! My fast thinking did the trick when Master Xehanort's gloved hand was situated where my heart would have been.
"Nah!" I stuck my tongue out once again at Xehanort as I landed from evading his purple Keyblade.
The only sound I heard for the next few moments was Geezernort's onyx boots squeaking as he turned to face me, and the rattling of the keychain dangling off of the handle of his weapon.
"You're so COOL!!" Yamada's voice echoed through the halls as he made his way through the rush of navy blue and gold.
"Help me!" I screamed as the mob of students let me pass through.
Instead of continuing to run, my metal shoe made an eerie squeak as I spun around on one foot to face Yamada with Eternal Horizons.
"Cooleeeeeee!" Yamada squealed as he slid across the floor on one foot to avoid his chest meeting the blade facing him.
Thankfully, he stopped just as the tip of Eternal Horizons met his torso.
"Heh!" Yamada smiled with his hands and one foot in the air.
"We're not done yet, foolish imbecile!" Xehanort called from across the hallway.
"Sometime later, okay?" I called back in anticipation of continuing our fight.
By now, Yamada had run quite far away from me, pointing back and announcing that I couldn't take his "coolness" away from him for long.
"We'll go with that." I pointed back with my eyebrow raised.
"What trouble did you get yourself in; fighting with a Keyblade Master?" a recognizable voice questioned as I turned around.
"Come, you must finish your extra class sheet." Master Oni tossed the pencil to my feet.
"Are you angry at me for getting in a fight with "Master Xehanort"?" I asked while using my fingers to add sarcasm.
"I can't blame you." Master Oni sighed in
"Are you going to let me actually use the pencil this time?" I asked him as the pencil rolled into my hand.
As I got up, Master Oni smiled in a sly manner.
"Maybe."
I entered the blue and gold study with the pencil intertwined in between my limp fingers.
"What happened?" Aqua asked me with concern in her eyes.
"Nothing special." I fibbed.
"I seriously doubt that." Ven contradicted my lie.
"Can we have more than one extra class?" Aqua's question thrust Master Oni's concentration from his desk to her voice.
"Yes." he dropped his bald head back to the quill and letter that lay upon the wooden desk.
It's like Master Oni is Light, and Xehanort is Darkness. I compared the twins while staring at Master Oni's light appearance and remembering Geezernort's darker one.
Master Oni had felt my stare on him, for he raised his head to see where the feeling had come from. I instantly thrust my stare back down to the paper on my lap.
Master Oni's chuckle echoed around the room followed by dead silence; except for the scribbling of his quill and the sound of pencil on paper.
I'll go for Astronomy and Woodworking. I decided as I checked the two boxes on the paper.
"Astronomy?" Ven asked out loud.
"Only creepy band geeks sign up for that; you're not a band geek, are you Terra?" Ven rudely shoved my pencil from the paper to erase the check mark.
Afterwards, Master Oni got up from his desk chair and headed towards Ven with his blue quill in hand. Before he reached Ven, he swiftly dabbed the point in black, uneraseable ink.
"No, I'm a band geek now!" Ven fretted while twitching as Master Oni checked the Astronomy box on Ven's sheet.
"Erase it!" Ven threw his pale arms into the air in fear.
"It's checked with ink, I couldn't possibly erase it." Master Oni smiled at Ven jumping off the rocket.
"But I'm not a band geek!" Ven squeaked, almost on the verge of possible hysteria.
"Oh well." Master Oni sent me another cheesy wink.
I swear everything in my life is cheesy; my Keyblade, my Keyblade's name, my uniform, those weird winks, Geezernort, Ven's breath. I listed off all of the cheesy things in my thoughts.
"Can I have another sheet then?" Ven begged with his fingers criss-crossed.
"I don't know where the other ones are." Master Oni shrugged while not even pausing to look around.
"Master Oni, I have urgent news." an unfamiliar apprentice announced after slamming the door of the study.
"How many shall interrupt me today?" Master Oni impatiently stood from his chair.
"Come with me." the apprentice rudely ordered the elder to his side.
"You three stay here." Master Oni told us as he walked out of the room with the red-haired apprentice.
After Master Oni left the room, Aqua jumped out of her seat and announced something VERY out of character.
"I'm following him." she headed towards the door in determination.
Ven and I stared at each other. Usually I was the one to suggest such things; even Ven barely did things like that.
"Are you sure?" I asked in perplexity.
"Of course; you do it all the time, right?" Aqua pointed out as she turned the brass door handle.
"Yeah, but it's out of character for you; usually you're the goody-goody, or the teacher's pet." Ven made Aqua frown.
"So what; I'm bored to death." Aqua sighed.
"Me, too!" Ven and I raised our hands in unison.
"Then, come along!" Aqua snatched our raised wrists and dragged us out of the door.
"What are they saying?" Ven questioned in a whisper.
"- is very urgent, Master Oni." the apprentice repeated in a worried tone.
"Don't tell me my brother blew up another science lab!" Master Oni rolled his eyes followed by a slow, irritated sigh.
"No, it is very important." the apprentice urged.
"So I've heard." Master Oni flicked his gloved fingers in impatience.
"Now, I was told to not tell anyone this message except you, so-" the fiery haired apprentice was interrupted.
"Yes, yes, get on with the program here." Master Oni leaned forward to look into the apprentices frightened eyes.
"Hades is here to request for your assistance." the apprentice pointed to the dark-robed figure heading towards them.
"What does that hot-headed, insolent buffoon want now?" Master Oni rolled his eyes as he headed towards the literally hot-headed man.
All three of us creeped closer to listen in; though the bad part was that Ven tripped over my shoe in the process.
"Who was THAT!?" Hades's blue hair turned a sudden crimson.
"Ven!" Aqua and I whispered at Ven's clumsiness.
"It's not my fault that you have feet the size of a monkey!" Ven insulted me with a VERY terrible comeback.
"A monkey?" I asked him in a loud voice, making Master Oni and Hades turn towards our position.
"How many bad insults DO you have?!" I chuckled and yelled at Ven.
"You're not very good at spying, are you?" Master Oni's voice thrust us away from our glaring competition.
"Now who is this?!" Hades screamed in fury.
"Calm down, Hades." Master Oni soothed.
"Come over here now!" Hades ordered.
"Which one?" we all asked in unison.
"You two!" Hades pointed his, well, pointy fingers at Ven and I.
"So, you've chosen a spiky-haired monkey and a porcupine for apprentices."
Why does everyone call me a porcupine!? I screamed to myself in fury.
"Well, at least I've never been hot-headed." I pointed to the flames on Hades's cerulean head.
Hades ignored the comment and dug himself a higher number on my list of "people I hate".
"I'm disappointed in you; surely you would have picked more...what's that word again?" Hades poked his temples in perplexity.
"Acceptable apprentices perhaps?" Hades now was number three on my hate list.
"Do you ever sweat from having fire for hair?" Ven asked a very reasonable question. Obviously, Hades thought the opposite.
"You insolent child!" his hair and skin had turned a fiery red.
"What?" Ven asked in confusion.
"It was just a dumb question, I mean..." Ven's voice trailed off at seeing Hades running towards him in fury.
"Help me!" Ven used me as his shield.
"I'm not the only one with a Keyblade, you know!" I thrust out my right hand to summon Eternal Horizons.
"Dun Dun Dun Dun!" Aqua interrupted.
"This looks like a job for... Faded Destiny!" Aqua "announced" her Keyblade's arrival.
"Am I the only one who's Keyblade-" I was stopped in midsentence by Hades's furious attack.
"Feel the heat!" Hades threw a blue fire ball at the oncoming blue-haired girl.
Now I've seen AND heard everything cheesy in existence.
Then, Hades suddenly thrust two blue fire balls at Ven and I. Luckily, I blocked it with Eternal Horizons; but Ven wasn't so lucky...
"Are you okay?" I instantly dropped to my knees to see how serious his wound was. To my dismay, Ven's burn mark was even worse than I had thought. Instead of the usual red burn mark, it was the same color as Hades's sky-blue hair. The weirdest part about it was that instead of bleeding with crimson, the wound had blue velvet oozing down the side of his upper arm.
"I'm bleeding!" Ven panicked.
Why is he bleeding blue blood? I asked myself, half knowing that it had something to do with the fact that he was hit by a blue fireball.
"What did you do to him?" I stood up to face Hades head-on.
"He got what he deserved; no details needed." Hades casually turned his back to me.
"Turn and face me." I ordered him.
"Have you forgotten that you're talking to the Lord of the Underworld?" Hades threw his arms down at the "lack" of knowledge I had.
"You mean the Underworld of Pansies?" I raised my eyebrow in defiance.
"Shut up and let's see how your much your moves match your mouth." Hades dared.
"You're looking at the wrong person to fight, buddy."
