Chapter 3~ Reason for exsistance.
D-Disclaimer! I do not own Kingdom Hearts or their awesomelicious characters!
I layed on the bed staring up at the ceiling remembering what King Mickey told me.
"You hold a great responsibility on your soulders, Akari." King Mickey said urgently "I do not expect you to take this lightly!"
"Y-yes your magesty!" I replied.
"You, Akari, were chosen to fight along side Sora and his friends." King Mickey said quietly "You have the ability to weild the keyblade and manipulate light at will. Organization XIII tried to elimanate you that unfortunate day, because of that Akari. You are stronger than any of us can imagine, and you were born to fight along side Sora and protect Kingdom Hearts."
"If that is true your magesty, then why didn't my parents tell me?" I asked.
"Your parents were not aware of it my child." He answered.
"B-but why now? why are you telling me this now? Why not after the accident?"
"We wanted you to regain your strength. We doubted then that you would believe us, having just lost your family." he said, "We have reason to believe that because it is so near the aniversary of the accident The Heartless have become restless."
"Your magesty, what may i ask is a 'Heartless' or 'Kingdom Hearts' ?" I asked curious about everything that has happened and about the journey i was apparently about to embark on.
"A Heartless is a creature without a heart, endlessly collecting hearts trying to find a way to have one of their own. Kingdom Hearts is just what it sounds like, The Kingdom of Hearts." He replied.
"Why is Organization XIII tying to destroy Kingdom Hearts?"
"Organization XIII is not trying to destroy it, but to use its power for evil. Organization XIII is a group of nobodies, desperatly trying to find their purpose. But their leader, Xemnas, is leading them to believe that their purpose is for evil, and that the only way they can have a heart is to help him succeed in using Kingdom Hearts for evil." the King said sternly.
"What is a nobody?" i asked, remebering that i had a nobody as well.
"A nobody is what is left behind by those whose hearts have been consumed by The Heartless. A nobody is made of body and soul, but no heart. Two nobodies were created when Sora stabbed himself to free his and Kairi's heart with the Keyblade of Peoples Hearts. Those nobodies names are Namine and Roxas. Roxas holds half of what Sora is and Namine holds half of what Kairi is. Namine has special powers to manipulate the memories chained together within Sora's heart, as well as the people closest to sora. You are close to Sora, Akari. And when Namine took apart Sora's memory, your nobody, Miku, was created. Namine is putting Sora's memories back together as we speak. We need Miku for our journey so i will not conjoin the two of you as of yet." King Mickey explained.
"I see... Does Roxas have any special powers?" I asked, curious about who these magnificent people were.
"Roxas has the ability to weild the keyblade and manipulate light as well as you and Sora." King Mickey said.
"A nobody. When someone with true strength in their heart loses that heart and becomes a Heartless, every so often a second version of them comes into being. These "Nobodies" have no hearts to feel with; only memories of their human past and what it was like to feel." Miku said. I stared at her, surprised to hear that she finally said more than one word. Although her voice was rather dead, i did understand what a nobody was when she explained. I guess because she knew how if felt to be a Nobody.
"Thanks for clearing that up Miku." I said "No offense your magesty, but i think she explained it better." I patted Mikus shoulder quickly realizing that she must have been upset. She nodded to me and stared at the table.
"None taken, Akari. Miku understands better because she is a nobody herself." King Mickey said rather sadly. "I think it is time to go up to our rooms" he said getting up from the cafe table. It was no one but us in there, it being closing time.
"Yes your majesty." I said taking Miku's hand and following him out the door to the hotel where Eiichi was waiting.
"This is so overwhelming" I sighed rolling over on the bed and resting my face on the pillow. There was a knock at the door "Come in!" i called rolling over and sitting up to see who it was.
"Nobody." Miku said while opening the door. I was surprised to see that she had a small smile on her face.
"Time to go?" I asked. Miku nodded and gestured to my keyblade. I picked it up off the foot of my bed and walked to the mirror to examine my new traveling clothes. It was a short black dress with a huge zipper on it, only going partially up revealing a white tanktop underneath. King Mickey said it was Traveling gear that was enchanted to heal woundsquickly and that my white boots were enchanted to help me run faster and jump higher. I brushed my brown hair surprised that for once it stood down over my scar. I took a deep breath and followed Miku out the door of my room and down the stairs to the lobby. There, i saw that Eiichi was waiting with King Mickey by the exit of the hotel.
When we reached them Eiichi grabbed me and squeezed me tight in his arms "Be careful." he whispered in my ear.
"Bye Eiichi." I whispered into his chest. Letting go of me,he looked into my eyes and patted my head.
"Be safe." He said. and with that, he sprinted back up the steps to his room.
"I miss you already." I whispered after him. Suddenly remembering a time when both of us were innocent and carefree. Those summer days when we would escape to the roof of his house and watch the sunset.
"Hey Akari! Bet you don't know why the sun sets red. You see, light is made up of lots of colors. And out of all those colors, red travels the farthest." Eiichi said.
"Like i asked! You know-it-all!" I said giggling and shoving his side with my elbow.
"Thats it that earns you a time out!" Eiichi teased taking away my Seasalt ice cream.
"Eiichi! Give that back!" i complained trying to reach for the icecream as he kept extending his arm higher.
Fighting back tears, i turned to King Mickey and Miku. Nodding my head to them both,i grabbed Miku's hand afraid of what was about to come. To my surprise we didn't exit the door, Miku some how made a black portal appear. I watched as King Mickey dissapeared into it. Miku tugged my hand and beckond me forward into the portal with her.
Grrrr i sawwy lol but i didn't really know how to describe Akaris travel gear so i kinda described Kairi's outfit from Kingdom Hearts two but with different colors. hehehe
That sunset part was borrowed from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days, when Roxas and Axel were sitting and watching the sunset together on top of the clock tower in Twilight Town.
Special thanks to the Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days booklet and Kingdom Hearts games for explaining to me what a Nobody, a Heartless, and what Kingdom Hearts was. Thank you Square-Enix and Disney Enterprises for making such an epic game~
Also, if u want to get a better understanding of how Akari looks, just imagine Kairi from Kingdom hearts 2 but with Light brown hair and Deep green eyes (and her dress in black).
Any suggestions about what to write next are kindly appreciated!
