Okay, scratch my last saying. Apparently, everyone wants us denied. 1
Darn it, I was convinced! ...need to work on gulibility factor.
We Won't Be Denied!!! ...2
Wow…I haven’t seen replies from some of you in awhile. Glad to hear your view of the story…but I know you didn’t come here to read my say that. So, without further ado, next chapter: This was a rather rare night: The palace garden, a quiet, clear, moonlit and starry sky. In the garden, a small, white bench sitting on the only manmade path in the garden, which was surrounded completely by white tulips. Namine could always come up with her best ideas for her sketch pad out in this garden, if she was either undisturbed or with Roxas. If there were any perks to being the queen of Radiant Garden, this was surely it…well, that and having a guaranteed engagement to her boyfriend. Speak of the…well, whatever they technically were now, Roxas came quietly from behind the bench and sat next to Namine, who was tapping her sketch pad with the eraser of her pencil. Roxas watched her quietly as she was trying to focus, a smile slowly creeping across his face. She always looked different when she was trying to focus on drawing, like she was trying to…draw life, for lack of a better phrase. She always had this light in her eyes, especially when she realized what it was she wanted to draw. Namine turned her eyes towards Roxas, smiled coyly, but at the same time raised an eyebrow. “Comfy?†she asked, still smiling. Before Roxas had realized it, his head was almost right next to hers, facing the same direction: The sketch pad. Roxas blushed slightly, but didn’t move away, “Hmm…not quite.†He moved back slightly, turned his head, and gave Namine a gently kiss on the cheek that made her blush a little and smile just a little bigger, enough to show a little of her teeth. “Now I’m comfortable.†Said Roxas, with a Sora-like grin on his face. Namine laughed at the sight. “I don’t think you should attempt that again,†Namine laughed, “You look silly when you smile like that!†Roxas’ smile faded slightly, “Are you saying I should look more like Cloud or Squall? Just scowl more?†He did his best attempt at a ‘serious Squall’ look, narrowing his eyes and raising his eyebrow, while making his mouth frown slightly. Namine was starting to tear from laughing, “You look like you’ve been poisoned now!†They both were laughing now. Eventually they calmed down, and then Namine spoke up, “So…why are you up this late? Normally you’d rather wait until morning to ‘sweet talk’ me like this.†Roxas frowned slightly, “I just had a talk with Sora. We talked about his fight with Elanore a little bit, but…it’s what he told me after that…†“I really don’t know why I thought it was a good idea, now,†said Sora, “but…I was just tired of fighting. I couldn’t take it anymore, especially after seeing the school’s reaction of my telling them about where I’ve been this past year.†“Wait…,†said Roxas, “you mean you just shut yourself out from Kairi?!†“I know, I’ve already gotten chewed out from Riku about this,†Sora shook his head while letting it hang, “but…it just felt so hard to talk to her about it! I mean, if I were to narrow it down as to why Kairi like me, I’d say my fighting for my friends would be the main thing. Just…how can you tell her that? How can you tell her that you can’t be the person that she loves anymore?†“Clearly, he was way off,†Roxas said as he rolled his eyes, “but the way he described his behavior worried me a little. It was like…,†Namine nodded, “…when you were behaving a little…off-kilter?†Roxas looked at Namine, “I thought Sora and Kairi could help me shake off these…impulses of my wanting to be away from you. After talking to Sora, it looks like he was going through a similar thing. It can’t be coincidence that we start acting like this, and then finish at the same time.†Namine frowned, “Kairi and I were talking about that earlier, too, after Hiashi and Riku had that fight-,†“Wait,†Roxas interrupted, “What happened?†Hiashi looked straight up from the base of the palace walls. A good twenty feet, straight up. She shook her head. All this time, and they still didn’t put any traps or anything on the top of the ledge. She bent her legs and jumped straight up. She cleared the top of the ledge in gymnast fashion, flipping over the ledge with her head closes to the top, flipping a few times before she landed on the ground. She took a deep breath and sighed. She was tired, and didn’t need any kind of interruptions about her past, especially after that trip down memory lane she just took. She walked towards the closes tower. She reached for the doorknob, but then paused. She tilted her head slightly. What was that noise? She followed the sound of the noise until she reached the wall again. Again, she jumped over the wall. The noises were coming from the woods... “HA!†CLANG! This match was long overdue, thought Kairi. It had been ages since Riku and Sora sparred. As fun as it was to watch the two spar in an open clearing in the woods, it looked like it was more fun for those two to actually fight again. They were grinning with every swing, every connection with their keyblades, even when one of them got knocked down from the sheer force, it looked like they were having the time of their lives. Finally, the match ended. As usual, it was Riku who won. Sora heaved, “Oh man…I’m out of shape!†Riku laughed, “Don’t be so hard on yourself, Sora. You did just as well as any sixty-year-old keyblade wielder in your position!†Everyone laughed at Sora’s wince to the comment. Sora struggled to get up, “Aw, man…Seriously, I’m going to be sore for a week!†Kairi laughed, “Aw, poor baby,†She helped Sora get up, “C’mon, ‘hero’, I’ll help you get to that hut. There are some bandages we can use until you can use ‘cure’ on yourself.†The two hobbled off towards the cabin, leaving Riku to smile at them as they left. He shook his head. It was good to see them getting along so well again. He almost forgot why he was so upset at them when they were on the islands… Why was he upset at them? He never did figure that out…oh well, probably better if he didn’t. Riku walked towards a log, and picked up a small towel that he placed there, and wiped his forehead with it. “So, you were the cause of the noise I heard.†Riku looked up. Hiashi was standing at the edge of the clearing. She had that now-familiar look she always had when she looked Riku: Cold and emotionless. “Hey, Hiashi,†Riku said, smiling, “We found this place about an hour ago. Do you know what this place is, exactly?†Hiashi’s face didn’t change, “This used to be where Vincent and I trained. He taught me everything I knew about fighting, right in this little neck of the woods.†So this was where it all took place. Riku spoke up, “It’s a really cool place. We had something similar to this back at the Destiny Islands. This area’s a little bigger, though.†Enough was enough. This needed to be settled. “Tell me something,†Riku stared at Hiashi, puzzled, as she talked. The tone was a little…suspicious. “What does it take to wield a keyblade?†asked Hiashi. Riku blinked, “Well…Exactly what, I’m not sure. The keyblade chooses its wielder, and it seems to like hearts that are strong.†“So, Sora and you are ‘strong’ because of your hearts?†“Sora is; I’m not. At least, I wasn’t at first. There was a time when I couldn’t summon a keyblade, so I stole Sora’s, thinking it was mine. Sora managed to take it back, and I was stuck with a weapon of darkness.†“But the keyblade doesn’t prefer light.†Riku shook his head, “Not that I’ve noticed, no. The keyblade isn’t too choosy about who wields it. It’s just if your heart’s strong.†Riku cocked his head a little, “You sound as if you know this already. Why do you want to know these things, Hiashi?†Hiashi started to walk towards Riku, “When you and Sora started running after Elanore, I thought for sure that you two were going to lose your lives. I knew about Elanore’s resistance to the keyblade, and that you wouldn’t be able to destroy her,†“But…you managed to separate the heart she took into her, the one from that Seymour kid…that shouldn’t have happened.†Hiashi’s pace started to quicken, until she stopped at the edge of the open area, where Sora and Riku had their match. “‘The keyblade brings ruin in its wake’…that’s something I’ve had beaten into my head since my…since my story began.†Riku frowned slightly, and turned his head, away from Hiashi. “Hiashi…look, Vincent…he told me…He told me about your past,†Hiashi’s eyes widened slightly, “How…What did he tell you?†She could barely breathe. Her heart started to race. He told him?! How could Pops have done that?! “Well…he told me about how he met you…about how you met Braig…,†Hiashi’s eyes flashed with anger. “You had no right to ask about that.†“Look, Hiashi…believe it or not, I’ve got a pretty good idea of what you’re going through-,†Hiashi drew her sword, “You don’t know how I feel. How could you possibly?!†She charged at Riku, full speed, her sword ready to be thrusted, “You don’t know what it’s like to have your best friend stab you in the back!!†Riku barely had time to register her charging. He quickly brought up his keyblade to block the thrust. He managed, “Yes, I do!†He repelled Hiashi’s attack, forcing her back a few feet. Riku tried to catch his breath, “When Sora, Kairi, and I lost our home, we were all separated. It took me some time, but I finally managed to track Sora to a world called Traverse Town, a home for refugees who escaped their worlds,†Riku lowered his head, and his keyblade slightly, “When we reunited, I found out he had made new friends, had the keyblade, and had already traveled to other worlds. We were supposed to do that together, he, me, and Kairi,†He looked up at Hiashi, “and he goes and shares our dreams with complete strangers! I had been searching with all my time and energy to find him and Kairi, and he’s off playing games! I felt crushed!†Riku lowered his head, “That was when I made one of the worst decisions of my life: I agreed to work with Maleficent. She showed me how to use the powers of darkness, and I nearly destroyed my two best friends with it.†Hiashi didn’t say a word while Riku was telling his story. She couldn’t help but feel a little pity towards him. All this over a misunderstanding…even if it wasn’t as bad as he thought. “Like I said, you don’t know what its like,†she said. Riku looked at her confused. “I’m not talking about a misunderstanding, or broken dreams, kid. I lost everything! My whole life was taken from me in less than an instant!†She drew her sword and charged at Riku again. Once again, Riku blocked her attack, but it was her eyes that had the bigger impact. “You talk about losing everything, but you gained it all back! My friends, literally, attacked me from behind, just so they could save themselves! There wasn’t anyone I could count on! Vincent was trying to take on the first wave of heartless! Lucrecia was trying to find a cure for a disease! My boyfriend…,†She started losing strength. Her sword slowly slid from the keyblade’s edge. Hiashi was on her knees, hands on the ground, crying, “My boyfriend…he said he would always be there…he would never hurt me…he laughed as I was being…,†Her voice trailed off as she fought to suppress her tears. Riku was stunned. He hesitated, but slowly extended his arm until it almost touched her shoulder. “Hiashi-,†“NO!†She swat his hand away with the back of her hand. “Don’t you dare offer your help!! Not to me! Not to my sister! Not to anybody!!!†“But-,†“I said ‘NO’!†SLAP! Nothing else was heard after, for the next few seconds, except for Hiashi breathing hard. Riku blinked. He slowly turned his head to where he faced Hiashi. He put his hand on the sore spot of his face, took it off to look at his hand, then lowered it, and then lowered his head. “I don’t need your help! I can make it through on my-,†“You’re right, Hiashi.†She stopped, stunned at what she saw. Riku raised his head back to eye level. He was smiling slightly. “You’re right, Hiashi. I don’t know what it is you’ve gone through. I had no right to intrude on you like that. Please forgive me.†Riku picked up his dropped keyblade, walked past Hiashi, walked back to the castle. “Wha?†SLAP! This time Hiashi was the one who was stunned. She quickly turned her head, to receive another shock, as she saw the girl who had delivered the slap. “You had no right to do that to him, Hiashi!†Kairi practically screamed at her sister, “Keyblade or not, he only wanted to help you!! And don’t start talking about how your troubles are worse than everyone else’s, either! You know nothing about what we’ve gone through!!†Kairi stormed off, trying to catch up to Riku, leaving Hiashi confused. “Why is she so defensive towards that boy?†Hiashi wondered, frustrated. “Riku’s lost a lot, Hiashi. More than any of us originally thought,†Hiashi turned to see Sora, surprisingly serious, walking past her. “Maybe you’re right, Hiashi. Maybe you do have the right to be angry with us. But Riku…I can honestly say that the loss he’s gone through…It’s right up there with yours.†Sora proceeded back to the castle, leaving Hiashi, once again, alone. “…Wow,†said Roxas. Namine shook her head, “Kairi told me Riku’s been a little unresponsive ever since…this isn’t like him.†Roxas raised an eyebrow, “Any thoughts as to why?†Namine sighed, “From what Kairi described…I think Riku likes Hiashi. Or at least, he did, before this matter came up.†Roxas was surprised, “He whahat’s right, then he sure knows how to pick ‘em.†Namine looked at him curtly, “Don’t be mean, Roxas. If you read the reports on Hiashi, you know she’s not that bad,†she closed her sketch pad, “I agree, though, she is a piece of work.†“Sorry, but that can only go so far with me, Namine,†Roxas replied, “Yeah, I agree, her past was rough, but so were a lot of ours. I mean, several of us were on the wrong side of the tracks, and didn’t act near that badly.†“How many of us can claim that what they knew was a lie though, Roxas?†Roxas was about to say something, but Namine cut him off, “Besides you, I mean. Parts of Hiashi’s life turned out to be a lie, even to her! You know better than anyone how painful that is!†Roxas sighed, “Okay, you’ve got me there…so, what do we do about this?†He reached out and gently grabbed Namine’s free hand with his. Namine closed her eyes, bit her lower lip, and squeezed his hand, grateful for the comfort he was trying to give. “I wish I knew.â€

That is, quite possibly, the king of all finds, the best the internet has to offer, and the most popularity Rick Roll will ever get. ...Anyone else think he sounded like Brad Garret when he was singing?
Yep, you should be very afraid.
....dang it. Is not Squall.
Confound it, I've been tricked again! Has heard of the game 'Dark Cloud'.
Forks, actually... Has a fear of bibs.
works at prison
See, a better question would be, 'Which marriage is it?' Why do you think we all look different?! It's just like 'Bonanza'!
*eye twitches* Who do you mean?
Dooooooooooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.............
Okay, all in all, not bad for a first attempt. I'd try out a few of the tutorials around the site; they've got some pretty good stuff around here. But this is actually pretty good. I'd see if adding Gaara's red hair is possible to his bunny-self, to make him look a little more like Gaara.
How about a name after one of the spells? 'Expelliarmus' or...something. Ack! I'm not very good at this!
I thought, "This is the worst Japanese version of Disney I've ever seen!"...the storyline quickly made up for it!
Doesn't have an obsession with Hayner.
