I just felt like writing something like this after it popped into my head. Before I start, I DID NOT copy anything from other stories INTENTIONALLY. And if I did, I apologize, but on with the story... Chapter 1 "Come on Sora, we're going to be late!" Riku exclaimed while running at his full speed. Seconds after, Sora appeared through the top of the hill where a road connected the dirt trail. He continued to chase after Riku while running more cautiously down the slope with Kairi only a few steps behind him. Within a couple of minutes, Sora ran down to even grounds and caught up to Riku. "What's the hurry Riku? It's only 7:45 AM. School doesn't start until 8:15 AM. Half an hour is plenty time. We can make it there on time even if we walk. Besides, I've never seen you so excited about school before. What's going on?" "Didn't you hear the news? It's pretty big around the whole town." "What news? I didn't hear anything." "You're hopeless Sora. I don't know how you managed to survive on your journey. Anyways, there's news about a new kid in town. They said he recently arrived on the islands about 3 nights ago." Before Sora could reply, they reached the school gates and began to walk again. Soon, Kairi manages to catch up with the two. "Apparantly, this kid hasn't really talked with anybody since his arrival except with an Innkeeper who rents out a room for him." Kairi continued after knowing about their conversation "What's so special about that?" Sora asked curiously. "There's more to it. You see, rumor has it that on his first night in his room, the Innkeeper was walking down the hallway. He saw the doors opened when he came across it. There was no one inside, but the windows were opened large enough for anyone to crawl out. The next morning, the kid was there like he'd been there the whole time. Strangely enough, the same thing happened the night after. This time, the innkeeper passed by the room more often. And he saw the kid lying in bed around the break of dawn. He asked a couple of people in the town but no one saw or knew anything." Riku added. "Ok, so he disappears at night or something like that. But I still don't get why you're so anxious to go to school." "Because, some people said they saw him entering the main office yesterday. Now everyone thinks he's attending the school." Riku replied as he glanced at the school entrance. "So you want to see if the rumors about this kid makes sense or not?" Kairi guessed. Riku nodded as the three entered the school. Chapter 2 Sora stepped through the doorway leading into his classroom with Riku and Kairi behind him. The three made their ways to their own desks which are lined next to each other. Sora sat between Riku and Kairi and laid his backpack under the desk. Riku and Kairi did the same. The bell rung shortly after. The other students approached their desk and sat in it as the teacher walked into the class with copied paper. "Class, as you all might have known, we have a new student joining the school. I want everyone to be on their best behavior around him." The teacher directed. "Please come in." The door opened as a boy around Riku's age walked inside. He had hair strands laying on the sides of his forehead and short hair in the back that touched the middle of his neck. Light through the window hovered over his head, gleaming at the dark red hair. He wore a black, white, and red jacket over a dark blue t-shirt. Parts of the jacket covered the top part of his black jeans which touched his gray sneakers. "Hey." he said in a deep tone. "This is Darxik. He's the new kid that recently moved to the islands. Welcome to the school and welcome to the island. Now, why don't you sit in front of Sora." The teacher pointed out the desk as the new boy made his way towards his seat. Before he sat down, he make a quick glance at Kairi. For one second, the small grin on his face faded and transformed into a cautious look. After, he positioned himself towards the front. "Hey Darxik. Im Sora. Nice to meet you." Sora whispered to him while holding out his fist. He looked at him sternly for a moment. Then a small smile came upon his face. "Likewise." His hand formed into a fist and he gave some props. Strange...he doesn't sound like the kid in all those rumors... Riku thought to himself. Still...something doesn't seem right. He continued thinking while positioning himself towards the board... --------------------------------------- "It's the best time of school again...when we leave to go somewhere else." "Do you hate school that much Sora?" Kairi asked with a "hopeless" expression. "Yeah. I can't stand taking so much ridiculous classes, especially English and Science, those are the worst." "Well, at least you got Darxik with you in every class now." Riku stated. "Yeah, it's a coincidence isn't it?" He asked his new friend. "Yeah, never saw it coming." Darxik replied. "Lets go buy something to eat. You coming Darxik?" "Sure" "I...think I'm going to go check out the raft." Riku said unsurely "Yeah, I think I might do that too." Kairi agreed with Riku. "Alright then. We'll see you guys later. Lets go Darxik." Sora replied as he dashed off. Darxik ran after him a few moments later. After 5 seconds, he looked behind him and glanced at Kairi. He immediately turned around...with a face of anger and hate... Chapter 3 "Hmm." Kairi muttered. "What?" Riku asked. "Two things. One, you shoelaces are untied." Kairi exclaimed as Riku looked down at his shoe. "Ha ha, very funny. I can't believe I forgot I'm not wearing shoes with laces today. Unlike most other days at least." "Second, you might be thinking about the same thing about Darxik as I am." "Now that you mention it, I've been wondering since school started today. He seems so different than the rumors." "Do you think he's hiding something?" "I...don't know." Riku added sternly. "But Sora doesn't seem to think its a problem." "Yeah. Then again, he's the laid back type." "True..." * * * "Good?" Sora asked. "Yeah." Darxik replied as he took another bite from his cheese and chilli hot dog. "I knew you'd like it." Sora added. He grinned at him. As the two were walking across food stores, many townspeople walked by looking puzzled and asking themselves "He's talking with Sora. Is he the same kid as the one who came to the island 3 days ago?" They continued walking until they reached the outskirts of the town, close to a forest. "What's this place?" Darxik asked. "You don't know? This is one of the most dangerous forests in the outskirts of the town. Many people heard there's lots of creatures and deadly animals in there. Normally, no one would enter. But I don't need to worry about it too much." Sora held out his arm and summoned his Ultima Weapon keyblade. Darxik stared at the keyblade in amazement. "I know you might be surprised. See, this is my star weapon. Its called a keyblade. I can use this weapon whenever I want. However, not everyone can use the keyblade. Only the person who the keyblade chooses can use it apparently. Anyways, you shouldn't go into that forest at all costs." "Yeah...Ok." "Good. Lets go. Hey, I want to show you a special place. Come on!" Sora turned around and left while Darxik stayed for a few seconds. I knew it... He thought to himself. He turned around and chased after Sora with a smirk of satisfaction on his face. * * * "Its in here." Sora said while sliding into a cave. He led his friend to the far side of the cave and onto the right side. The cave wall was covered with patterns in white designs. Sora knelt down on a certain picture... "This picture brings back memories. When we were little; Kairi, Riku, and I always come here. This is one picture Kairi and I drew of each other." Darxik said nothing. He just stared at the picture. "Kairi's...more than just a friend to you right?" "What is that supposed to mean?" "Nothing..." "Is something wrong?" "No, Im fine..." "Ok. Its getting late. Lets go home, I'll bring you to the island." Sora departed the cave but Darxik stayed. He continually stared at the picture of Sora and Kairi. Sora's voice echoed in his head as his childhood memories came back for a couple of seconds. Darxik flinched and grabbed his head, moaning in pain. Then he immediately regain his senses and left the cave, continually looking at Kairi's picture before he exited. ------------------------------------------- That Sora...he is a keyblade wielder. Damn, this isn't going to be as easy as I thought...He's friends with Kairi. This is much harder than I expected. DAMMIT! The sounds of trees crashing down echoed from the forest. Animals tried attacking the mysterious person, but died instantly when they were in range. The dark figure turned his attention towards a giant boulder. 1 second later, a small orb of light appeared from the air. It suddenly radiated into a silky cluster of blue flame. Reflecting from the light was a small necklace with a blue jewel where the flame eminates. The figure spread his arms across the flame and reflected a weapon shaped like a keyblade... "It will end soon. Kairi. No, Sora and Kairi. Yes, those two...they will DIE very soon." A bolt of lighting flashed in the sky as the night clouds shone from the flash for a few seconds. Then a wave of pouring rain descended onto the islands... *End of Part 1* I'll be working on Part 2. Hopefully, it'll be done soon.
I like that story, let me know when you have the next set of chapters done, okay? You should submit this to the fanfiction site so I can enjoy it there.
Hey, when your done, PM me. I wanna see the rest. It sounds kinda cool. I just don't get wether he wants kairi, or if he hates kairi. You get what I mean?
It's pretty good :D But to say the first thing that comes to my mind when I saw Darxik's name... it has an "x" in it... I wonder if he is part of Org. XIII... I want to read the "betrayal" part of the story since it has the word in the title.
More's to come. I think part 2 will be the part more ppl will like because that's when the whole "betrayal" thing kicks in as well as a bunch of other things.
Don't worry for those who really wants to read this. Im working on it. Now all I need is a decent amount of time on the computer.
