Yup...I'm one of the old people on this site...XP
Okay guys, I'm having a lot more problems than I realized, between school, my computer, and basically life (nothing serious, just a lot piling up), plus, this story was supposed to originally be a Valentine's Day thing, so I have to ask you guys: Would you all still like me to continue the story? If yes, then you'll be waiting awhile...like at least a month because of school, friends having problems, and work. Would you like me to, instead of yes, wait until next Valentine's Day to continue and finish the story? By then, I should have a side project or two done that would keep you all occupied until then. I am sorry that I have to ask this. I really, really want to continue writing this, but at the moment with all this going on, it's practically impossible.
Sorry, I'm still having computer problems... Ugh, I'm swamped with tests and work. It doesn't look like I'll be able to get a break until next week.
Omph! Hey, KxR. How is everyone?
Phew, okay, I'm here. What'd I miss?
'Ello, my duckies! How are we tonight?
Heaven help us...lol.
...what stories are you reading?
Yeah, but how many of us do? lol.
Hey...bro?
And that's when the stuff hits the fan...
It's just one of those things that probably shouldn't be asked, dude...
Scottish, Irish, English, Danish, German, and Black Dutch for me.
O_0...honestly, Rosey, your color changes are making me confuzzled, disoriented, and a little nuts.
Two things I'd like to make clear, here: 1. There's actually a very good reason why Hiashi is very, very hateful towards Riku and Sora being keyblade wielders. 2. Notice in previous chapters her seeing Sora's aura, and focusing on Riku's. There's a good reason behind that as well. I want that kept in mind so nothing gets blown out of proportion. I like the speculation and people trying to figure out what's going on so far, but at the same time I'd like the facts straight.
Ladies and gents...next chapter: Sora, Riku, Kairi, Hiashi, Cloud, and Squall stood in the middle of the bridge of Cid's ship, the result of everyone being teleported. Sora, Riku, and Kairi had their mouths open in awe. "Wow," said Sora,"...I've never seen a bridge this big!" "No joke," said Riku, "Mickey has some pretty complex ships in his hanger, but none of them are this big or complex!" Kairi just stared out the large, practically building-sized windows of the ship, watching the stars and worlds as they slowly went by, and smiled, "I don't know that much about gummi ships...I like the view, though." Hiashi smiled a little bit as she heard Kairi say that. Her mind wandered back to when Kairi was four years old, sitting on the front porch. Every time a shooting star went by during the summer, she'd always laugh her head off at how quick and bright they'd go by... Cid spoke up from the helm, a good ten feet above where everyone was standing, "That's because this ship is also a battle cruiser, able to deploy a few smaller gummi ships and a good number of soldiers into battle!" Everyone turned around to see Cid, who was grinning like a maniac. It had been a long time since Cid had flown his ship, and he was...a little too happy. Cid's smile frowned a little bit. He leaned forward at a monitor not too far from his head, and stared at it for a few seconds. He then stood back up and looked at Squall and Cloud, "Do me a favor and go to the cargo bay. It looks like we've caught something extra." The two of them nodded, and left the bridge, the door sliding by to let them out, and then closing behind them. Sora gaped in wonder at that. It was like a sci-fi movie! Riku face-palmed himself at the sight of Sora, while Kairi's head dropped a little bit. "We'll be reaching Radiant Garden in about ten minutes, so try not to break anything in the mean time," spoke up Cid again. The four of them walked forward a few feet to some empty chairs and sat down, with an awkward silence between them. Kairi finally spoke up, "So, Hiashi...Where have you been since Radiant Garden?" Hiashi, sitting cross-legged across from Kairi, shrugged a little, "Pretty much in a coffin." Riku's head dropped, while Sora and Kairi stared, bug-eyed, at Hiashi, "Umm...could you...explain that a little bit?" Sora started, "...Please?" Hiashi uncrossed her legs and sat up a little bit, "I've been inside a sarcophagus since the invasion, placed in an area in...I think you called it the 'secret cave'? Anyway, I'm supposed to serve as a bodyguard for the princesses of heart, and apparently it's a good thing I'm here." "Yeah," said Sora, "We really appreciate you helping us when Elanore attacked. Thanks again, for that." Hiashi stared at Sora a little coldly, "You're welcome...but that's not what I meant." Sora cocked his head, a little confused. Kairi frowned, and leaned forward a little bit, "Hiashi, I told you before: They're my friends! I've known them since I arrived on the islands! I mean, they've risked their lives to save me more times than I can count!" Not taking her eyes off Sora and Riku, Hiashi spoke again, "They're keyblade wielders, Kairi," Hiashi stood up, "Plus, I can see their history in their eyes: They both have succumbed to the darkness at least once already. If it happened once, it can happen again!" She glared at Sora and Riku with such an intensity, she might very well have burned a hole through the two of them. "But-," Sora started, but he was cut off. Cloud and Squall had returned, and they both were dragging something. "We'll talk more later," said Riku, getting up and going to where Cloud and Squall were. Sora and Kairi stared a little uneasily at Hiashi, then the three of them followed Riku. As soon as Riku had a clear look at what Squall and Cloud were dragging, he exclaimed, "Oh, come on! Not you two again!" Reno and Rude sat on the floor, completely out of their minds with dizziness, and not very aware of where they were. "It looks like they might be airsick...," said Cloud. Sora rolled his eyes, "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be on the islands!" "Yeah, but *hiccup*," Reno never finished his sentence. As soon as he hiccuped, he fell backwards onto the floor and started moaning, "Make the room stop spinning..." Rude decided to give talking a shot, "We remembered something a few minutes before you all left: Seymour had been acting a little strange a few days before the invasion. If nothing else, the police can handle the investigation on the Destiny Islands, but if there's a chance that Seymour was taken by the heartless, we've got to take it. Like it or not-," "We're coming with *hic*," Reno tried again, then moaned out, "yooooouuuuuuuu...." and passed out, his eyes swirling in every direction. Riku was a little puzzled, "How did you guys get on the ship? We were pretty high up...don't tell me you two used...?" Rude grinned a little and nodded. Sora started laughing, Kairi covered her face in embarrassment, while Hiashi just stood there confused, "What are they talking about?" she asked, a little irritated. Sora tried to stop laughing, "They used the papou catapult!" Hiashi raised an eyebrow. That just sounded stupid. Riku sighed, "Originally, it was used as a farewell for the wives of sailors who were going to war. They'd catapult pieces of papou fruit, as a symbol of them being with their husbands, no matter where they went. They were fired off an extremely old, but powerful, stone apparatus that was just dubbed the 'papou catapult'. It's powerful enough to fire an anvil at least several thousand feet, if used correctly." "Well, we didn't use it correctly," Rude said, a little bashful, "We were off a little bit and ended up crashing into the ship," Everyone heard Cid mutter, "That explains the turbulence..." Rude continued, "...and we...misjudged the catapult's properties...So..." Reno said bluntly, still on the floor with his eyes rolling, "We don't have a catapult anymore." Sora fell to the ground, laughing. Kairi had to lean onto something, but she was starting to laugh now, too. Riku found it difficult to hold in, so he was laughing a bit as well. Hiashi just stared at the stupidity of those two, risking their lives in such a manner. Squall and Cloud stared at the bunch, not saying a word. It made sense, now, why Sora was the way he was...if he was hanging around people like this all the time, it was no wonder why he was a little naive. "We're here!" boomed Cid again. Everyone looked out the window to see Radiant Garden, coming closer and closer into view. "Alright everyone," Cid said, "strap yourselves in. We're coming in for a landing!" Cnc?
Lol! Awesome response! (I'm so easily amused. Sorry:p) Very interesting. I like the 'two keyblade' thing.
My guess is either Riku, or something DiZ invents that would help wipe Roxas' memory.
Iiiiitt's a smaaaaalll worrrld aaafter aaall.... Pardon my bad singing.
Lee being Ansem the Wise is practically a requirement...I mean, seriously, who could replace him?
