Kizu's Point of View

The next day, I slept in a little because I was still tired from sleeping at four in the morning the day before. But my slumber was rudely interrupted…

"Hey! Kizu! Get up!" I heard noticing that the voice was familiar but wasn't familiar enough for me to recognize.

I groaned and turned around onto my right side, "I'm still sleeping if you haven't noticed…"

Then, I felt someone pull the blankets off of me and a breeze of cold air hit me. I patted around with my left hand, blindly searching for my blanket in vain.

"Ughh.." I groaned and sat up, rubbing my eyes and seeing the person who was yelling. Demyx was holding my blankets with a goofy grin on his face. "What do you want Demyx?" I was grumpy from my awakening. I needed my sleep.

"Come on Kizu! We're gonna teach ya how to fight today!" Demyx replied, excited.

"It's too early to be this crazy."

"We?" Axel asked skeptical. He was leaning against the wall next to my door with both arms crossed on his chest. "Didn't Superior say that you needed to brush up on your skills and I needed to supervise you?"

"Aww man! You didn't have to tell her that!" Demyx whined.

"Wait.. Xemnas said that I get to learn how to fight?" I asked.

"Choose a weapon first, then fight. He remembered that you asked if Roxas or I can teach you how to fight. Now, he's also tired of Demyx's laziness so I have to baby-sit him for the day but I also have a chance to teach you while I'm watching Demyx."

"Geez… You talk as if I'm only five!" Demyx stated, nearly whining again.

"I'm not answering that…"

"Would you mind taking it outside?" I sighed again. "I need to get myself ready."

Axel nodded and nearly dragged Demyx outside as he was complaining some more. I laughed to myself and changed into a fresh coat. "I have to make sure to meet up with Roxas today…" I thought to myself as I walked out the door. Demyx was gone though.

"He went ahead to the weapons' room," Axel explained before I asked.

I nodded. "Do you think we'll be able to go to the clock tower today?"

"Not sure. Roxas and Xion might not show up at all. Roxas was sent on a mission in Neverland and I was told that it would be difficult. Xion doesn't show anymore."

"Can we still go though?" I insisted.

"Why are you being so persistent all of a sudden?"

"Well… Roxas took me there the other day and," I lowered my voice to an embarrassed whisper, "I like the ice cream…"

Axel chuckled. "Okay, we'll go after training."

I smiled, "Thanks. By the way, have you found out anything new?" He shook his head. "Why can't you ask Saix?"

"No."

"But.. I thought you two were friends."

"Were friends. He's… changed." Axel's facial expression was solemn and cold.

I knew I shouldn't pry so I didn't ask. I simply opened up a Corridor of Darkness, "Let's just go meet up with Demyx."

Axel nodded and stepped in first while I followed.

We walked into a large, white room with different weapons floating slightly above podiums that made a semi-circle. From left to right, there were a sword, a shield, a staff, needles, two smaller and shorter swords, a fan, a bow, and a long, wooden pole. I stared at them in awe, not noticing Demyx walk up to me.

"Hey! Took ya long enough!" he exclaimed. I nearly jumped and he laughed at me.

Sighing, I replied, "Can we just get to business?"

"Awww.. Fine."

"You know about the Elements and Weapons right?" Axel asked.

"Yeah but only a little about weapons. I didn't look it up much but I know about the basics," I stated.

"Demyx will have to explain then."

"Whyyyy meeee?" Demyx complained.

"It's a good refresher, now do it."

Demyx sighed and then started, "The sword is close-range. Powerful and dominant but uncontrollable. The shield is mainly for defense. Well protected and resourceful but reserved. The staff is usually for magic, short and long range. Mystical and open-minded, but disoriented. The needles are long range and are used for throwing. Quick and deadly, yet weak. The two smaller swords are mostly short range. Unique and independent, yet dependent. The fan is usually long range, but can be used to close range too. Fragile, yet strong willed and forceful. The bow is long range. Agile and focused but restrained. Lastly, the pole is used for long and close range. Extended and controlled, but stubborn."

Axel nodded and continued, "Choose your weapon carefully. Once you decide on one, the weapon will change its form, color, and maybe shape for your own needs. It won't look as plain as it does now."

I just took a step forward to the center of the room and looked at each one of the weapons, left to right then right to left. I replayed what Demyx said in my mind.

"Come on," Demyx complained, "we don't have all day."

"Just give her time," Axel snapped back at him.

"It would really help if he was just quiet.." I thought angrily. Then I took a deep breathe. "Well.. I know that the sword and shield aren't good for me. I don't want to hurt people and the sword is sometimes uncontrollable power. Also, the shield is mainly for defense. I'll be able to protect myself but other than that, I wouldn't be able to do much. I want to be somewhat useful in battle..."

Suddenly, the podiums with the sword and the shield on it sank downward into the ground.

"It.. read my mind? Well.. continuing on.. I wouldn't use a pole or the staff.. The pole would be way too long for me to handle properly and the staff would mostly be magic. I need to be able to use some form of hand-to-hand combat so it doesn't work. And the needles are hard to use too.. Each and every attack would have to be exact and precise and I don't think I'm experienced enough for that."

As soon as those thoughts came into my mind, the podiums with the pole, the magic staff, and the needles also sank. My remaining choices were the two smaller swords, the fans, and the bow.

"I'm not really good with aim.. Also, I'm not fast enough to keep running away and keep a certain distance to be able to attack… Therefore, the bow isn't suited for me either."

The bow also sank with the podium.

"Good job," Axel said, "Now, think about your element and how it corresponds with the weapon."

I nodded in response. "The fans would most likely be for a wind element.. because if you waved it, you would create wind.. I don't really know about the swords though. Dependent.. yet independent.. Am I like that? Or am I fragile.. but strong willed."

I closed my eyes and took another step forward. Letting my feet guide me, I slowly walked towards the podiums. After a few more steps, I opened my eyes and saw the podium with the fan floating above it. I reached out and hesitantly took the handle of the fan.

Then a blinding light illuminated the room with the fan as its source. It took a couple minutes to die down but when it did, I saw two fans in my hand. They were both designed the same, an aqua-colored, wave-like pattern near the fuente with bubbles and small blue daisies farther out. Because each rib had its own thin and separate blade at the rivet, I could easily close and open it. The fan was held together at the head with a cerulean tassel that had water drop pendant.

"Not wind, but water?"

"Wow," I whispered to myself.

No more than a few seconds later, I felt a rush of power go through me. I squeezed my eyes to try and contain it. But I couldn't and I felt a flash of ice overcome me. Everything just faded after that.

"Kizu!"

Me: Sorry for the long wait D:! I was too busy and didn't have enough time to write/revise T_T;;

Kizu: Don't worry. We'll just hate you.

Me: T_T;; Oh and if you guys didn't get the description of the fan, just google "Parts of hand fan" and click the 1st link. That should clear things up. REVIEW :D!
