The Last Journey (Your characters included! ^.^)

Phew... I just spent about an hour writing this... I hope ya like it ^-^

~Chapter Three~
After hours of arguing with each other, the group finally decided that they would start at Traverse town, since this had been where most of their last journey’s events had taken place. They descended the gummi ship down to traverse town, landing in one of the alleyways. As everybody climbed out of the ship, they looked around. Merlin had told Akari to go along and help them on their journey. Once everybody was out of the ship, they headed into the main part of Traverse Town.

Everything was just as Sora remembered it. There were bright lights and many people bustling around, going from shop to shop. Sora wanted to stop by and see Cid at the accessory shop, but Riku said no. “You know that we have a task to accomplish…†he said. Sora looked glum, but he nodded in agreement. “Okay… I have a plan,†He said. “How about we split up? That way we can take out more heartless faster…†Riku smiled. “That’s a great idea, Sora,†He said.

“Alright… Sora, you go with Akari and Rinn to the back of the third district. Kaori and I will start at the front of the first district. Take out as many heartless as you can and work your way to the middle of the second district. We’ll meet you guys there, alright?†Sora nodded. “Okay. Let’s go, guys!†He ran off towards the third district with Akari and Rinn following him. Riku looked at Kaori and smiled. “You ready to fight some heartless?†He asked as he summoned his keyblade. Kaori grinned back at him. “Yeah…†She said and took her gunblade from her back. There was a swarm of heartless nearby and they decided to start there. Quickly, they ran over and started taking out the heartless.

Riku swung his keyblade hard and destroyed about 3 heartless at once. Kaori shot down as many of them as she could. They slowly started to make their way through the first district. However, one heartless tried to sneak up behind Kaori. Luckily, Riku saw it. “Watch out!†He said to her and quickly hit the heartless with his keyblade, making it disappear into a black wisp of smoke. Kaori smiled. “Thanks, Riku…†She said, realizing what could’ve happened. Riku nodded. “Don’t mention it…†He said. “Now, come on… we have to keep moving…â€

They started destroying the heartless again. One by one, they evaporated into the air, leaving small, pink hearts behind. If the Organization were still around, they’d be thankful of Riku for destroying so many heartless. Soon enough, there weren’t any heartless for the time being, and Riku decided that they should probably take a rest before moving on. “Sora and the others probably aren’t even through half as much as we did…†He said and they both laughed.

Kaori and Riku sat underneath a tree, drinking some water. Riku had his eyes closed and his hands were behind his head. However, Kaori was looking up at the sky. She stared at it in amazement and wonder, and then she suddenly started to talk. “Riku…?†She asked and he opened his eyes, looking at her. She looked at him. “Did you ever get the feeling that there’s more out there? More than just these few worlds that you’ve explored…?†Riku was a little confused. “Actually, not really…†He said. “I’ve been to every world that’s out there… I know that for a fact. There couldn’t possibly be more out there…†He looked up at the sky. Kaori looked at him and smiled nervously. “Yeah, you’re right. What was I thinking?†She said and laughed. “What more could there be…?â€

Suddenly, a figure approached them and Kaori looked up. “Excuse me…†He said and Riku looked up at him, listening. “Have either of you encountered a young girl answering to the name of Kaori?†He asked. Kaori immediately stood up and turned to face him. “That would be me…†She said as Riku stood up as well. “And just who are you…?†The man grinned. “I am Shay,†He said. His eyes seemed to glow with delight as he withdrew his sword. Suddenly, he swung the sword as hard as he could at Kaori. Quickly, she withdrew her gunblade, just in time to block the attack. “What the heck?!†She said, surprised. “What was that for?!â€

But the man didn’t answer. He simply gripped his sword tight and dashed at Kaori again, trying to hit her once more. Kaori’s gunblade clashed with the man’s broadsword and she held it there as best she could, but Shay was too powerful. She broke the clash and jumped backwards, skidding across the ground. However, the man still didn’t stop. He came up behind her quickly and held his sword to her throat. Riku tried to run over to her, but he stopped when Shay pressed the sword into her neck more as he got closer. “Leave her alone!†Riku shouted, trying to help in some way. Shay didn’t release Kaori. She gave a small cry of pain when he made a small cut on her neck as she tried to struggle away from him. “What is it you want?†Riku asked, but he still didn’t reply. Riku’s eyes widened as Shay suddenly smirked. “Goodbye…†He said.

After those words, things happened so quickly that Riku couldn’t tell what was going on. He heard a scream and a thump on the ground. Suddenly, Shay had disappeared and a body lay on the ground. u was speechless. “K-Kaori!†He shouted and ran up to her and kneeled beside her. “Can you hear me…? Hey! Wake up!†He said, but she didn’t move at all. His jaw gaped open at what had just happened. He stared down at her. “K-Kaori…â€

SPOILER: due to Vakh's form, Kaori doesn't die ;P

 

*breathes deeply into paper bag* OMG that was so awsome.It was so intense and what not.Tyr and post the next part today please lol Loved it:)

 

Ta-da! sorry it's a bit shorter than usual... XP

~Chapter Four~
As Kaori fought with Shay over in the first district, Akari, Sora, and Rinn had arrived in the third district. “Okay, so let’s get started, huh?!” Akari asked excitedly, ready to fight. After training for so long under Merlin, she was ready to show what she could do. “Yay!” Rinn said. “We get to fight heartless!” Immediately, her necklace turned into a staff that she gripped tightly in her hands. Akari took a sword from it’s holder on her waist. It was the best sword that she had, which she only used on special occasions. Sora summoned his keyblade. “Alright… Let’s get started!” he said and ran off, starting to fight heartless. Akari and Rinn both began to fight the heartless, as well.

Sora had run up to a huge group of heartless. Furiously, he swung his keyblade, destroying as many of the heartless as he could. He watched as the tiny, pink hearts floated into the sky. Luckily, they wouldn’t be going to the Organization anymore. Suddenly, Sora heard a scream. He looked around and saw Akari, but he didn’t see Rinn. “Akari!” He shouted. “Where did Rinn go?!” He asked. Akari pointed towards an alleyway. She saw some down there that she wanted to fight,” Akari responded. “Don’t worry, though. I’m making sure to keep an eye on her. She’s fine.” Soar let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good…” He thought and kept fighting. “But what was that scream, then…?”

Suddenly, the scream could be heard again. This time, Sora was easily able to tell where it was coming from. “Guys! Come on!” He shouted to Rinn and Akari as he took of running towards the sound. Akari nodded and called Rinn out of the alleyway. Then, both of them started following Sora. “What’s wrong, Sora?!” Akari asked, worried. “I heard somebody scream!” He replied, running as fast as he could. Tiny beads of sweat ran down his face and Akari and Rinn struggled to keep up. “I wonder who it could be…” Rinn thought aloud.

As they turned the corner, they all suddenly stopped running and stared at what they saw. There seemed to be a huge group of heartless, maybe about 20 of them. And, in the middle of them, was a small girl. She seemed to be about 5 years old. She had cute, blonde pigtails in her hair and her bright green eyes shone brightly in the streetlights. Her freckled face had a look of fear on it as the heartless tugged at her little, pink dress. A few of them had jumped on her and were trying to take her heart, and she was screaming loudly in fear. Sora immediately snapped out of it and ran forward to go help the little girl. Akari and Rinn followed. The little girl screamed loudly as they started to claw out her heart.

Sora’s eyes widened. “Hang on!” He shouted and started to slash at the heartless, making them disappear into thin wisps of black smoke. Akari and Rinn did as best as they could to get rid of the heartless as well. “That’s it!” Akari shouted and jumped up. “Firagra!” She shouted and a huge wave of fire came from the tip of her sword and shot at the heartless. Many of the heartless were destroyed in that attack. “Nice job, Akari!!” Rinn said to her and smiled. Sora was amazed. “That was so COOL!” He exclaimed, smiling. However, they all continued to fight the heartless. They didn’t have time to stop. That little girl needed their help…

With her heart almost entirely out, the little girl’s screams had died down to faint yells for help, as she was about to pass out. “Hang in there!” Rinn shouted to the little girl as she destroyed another heartless. Finally, they were right next to the little girl and they could get the heartless off of her. Swiftly, Sora swung his keyblade lightly and made all of the heartless on her disappear. The little girl gasped and fell to her knees as the heart returned to her body. However, she soon fell unconscious.

Sora was surprised by her passing out. “Hey! Are you alright?!” Sora asked her, but she didn’t respond. Rinn hit him on the head. “Don’t be stupid, Sora! She can’t answer if she’s unconscious!” She said. Sora rubbed his head. “Oh… right… So what do we do?!” He asked nervously. “First of all, you calm down,” Akari said to him. “Secondly, I suggest we get her somewhere safer, like inside a building. We need to see if she’ll be okay and find out what exactly happened.” Sora nodded and bent over, scooping the small girl into his arms. “Okay. Let’s go inside that building!” He said, pointing to a nearby store. Quickly, with the small girl, the group ran towards the building, hoping to find out if she was okay or not.

Chapter Five
“K-Kaori…?†Riku was on his knees, kneeling down beside her sleeping body. Blood trickled down her neck and on to the ground, her eyes closed gently. She seemed so peaceful… so motionless. Riku didn’t know what to do. Had she… died? Swiftly, he moved his hand up so that they were hovering over the wound on her neck. “Curaga…†He muttered as his hands began to glow a bright green color. The cut had also started to glow bright green, too. Riku knew that it would heal the wound, but would it save her life? He had never tried to use it if somebody was this close to death.

Tears started to fill Riku’s eyes when she still wouldn’t wake up, even though the wounds had healed. “Please wake up, Kaori… Please…†He whispered, but nothing happened. He dropped his hands to his sides sadly, giving up on any chance of saving her. If that didn’t work, then nothing would. Suddenly, her hand moved. Riku blinked in surprise as she opened her eyes and looked up at him. “R-Riku…?†She sat up and looked around, seeing that she had been on the ground. He grinned. “Kaori! Thank goodness you’re alright!†Riku exclaimed and grabbed her in a tight hug, but not tight enough to hurt her.

Kaori smiled and hugged him back. She grinned, knowing exactly what he had done. He’d saved her. “Thanks, Riku…†She said and broke the hug. He smiled back at her. “No problem,†He said and stood up. He extended his hand to her and helped her back onto her feet. She gently placed her hand to her neck, feeling where the cut was. “Who was that guy…?†She wondered, but she didn’t say anything. “All right, then. I guess we should continue our way to the second district?†She suggested. Riku nodded. “Yeah, that’s a good idea. Sora, Akari, and Rinn are probably almost there already,†He said.

So, Riku and Kaori started to fight their way towards the second district again. Riku made sure to keep a close eye on Kaori, just in case Shay came back again. He shot dark aura at many of the heartless around him. Kaori destroyed as many of them as she could. Soon, they found themselves standing in the middle of the second district. Sora, Akari, and Rinn were nearby, finishing off their last heartless. However, Kaori noticed that Sora was holding something… a small girl?

Riku and Kaori ran up to them. “Hey, guys!†Kaori said. “Who’s that…?†She asked curiously, referring to the small girl. Riku seemed to want to know as well. “We don’t know…†Akari said. “She was being attacked by heartless, so we helped her,†Rinn explained. “But she passed out once we destroyed the heartless,†Sora finished. Riku seemed to be thinking about this. “Well, it doesn’t seem like the heartless took her heart…†Kaori said and felt her forehead. The girl was pale white and a cold sweat was running down her forehead. “There’s something wrong with her, though. She has a high fever.â€

Akari pondered for a second. “Maybe she’s ill because the heartless had her heart almost completely out…†She said. Everybody turned to look at her. “What do you mean?†Sora asked, confused. “Think about it for a second,†Rinn said. “There could be some possible side effects to almost having your heart taken…†Something suddenly popped into Kaori’s mind. “Or, perhaps the heartless took part of her heart…†She said. “If not all of her heart is taken, then her body can still function… But not as well as it normally would.â€

“Wait a second…†Sora said. “Then what happened to that part of her heart? Did it turn into a really small heartless or something?†Akari shook her head. “I don’t think so,†she said. “Although, it may have turned into some type of creature.†Riku looked down at the girl. “Well, we can’t just leave her here…†Riku said. “We have to find a way to help her.†Rinn was a bit shocked. “Riku, we can’t! Remember? We have a job to fulfill!†Sora stood up. “I’m not just going to leave her here!†he said. “We’ll find a way to help her! And who knows? Maybe this might lead us to the answer of why the heartless keep respawning.â€

Riku scooped the small girl in his arms and stood up as well. “Alright,†He said as everybody else began to stand up. “But where do we start lg for a cure?†Akari had an answer. “How about Merlin?†She asked. “I’m sure he can give us some answers.†Rinn nodded. “Okay!†she said excitedly. “Let’s head back to Hollow Bastion!†Everybody nodded and headed back to the gummi ship, ready to head back to Hallow Bastion and hopefully find some answers.

~Chapter Six~
Soon, the group had arrived back in Hallow Bastion. Once they had landed, then all filed out of the gummi ship and began to head towards Merlin’s house. Hopefully, he’d have something that could help the small girl. He was a wizard, after all. There was bound to be some type of potion or spell that could help. As they got closer to Merlin’s house, Riku looked down at the small girl he still held in his arms. Her face was very pale and she seemed to be in pain. He felt kind of bad for her, and was mad that Rinn would even think of leaving her there, although she was right. They had been given a job to fulfill, and it couldn’t wait for them to help some girl that they didn’t even know.

Soon enough, Merlin’s house came into view. Sora smiled as they walked up to the door. Akari took a key out of her pocket and unlocked the door. “Hang on, guys…†She said. Since Akari was his student, Merlin had given her a key to get in and use his training room when he was busy with a project or wasn’t there. Quietly, they all walked inside and Rinn closed the door behind them. Akari led them to a back room where they found Merlin working on a project. “Umm… Merlin?â€

He looked up from his project and smiled at the group. “Why, hello there! Come in, come in! I’m just finishing up a small project. I’ll be with you in a brief moment,†he said and continued mixing a potion that he was working on. Sora and Riku looked at each other worriedly, but did as e said and walked into the room. They watched silently as Merlin finished the potion. However, many thoughts were flying through their heads. They all wanted to know what would happen next… Would the girl be okay? Would the figure out who was making more heartless appear? Once Merlin had finished, he turned to the group with a smile. “I’m sorry about that. Now, what is it you need?â€

Rinn stepped forward. “We were wondering if you could help us with something,†She said. Riku stepped forward with the small girl. “We were trying to clear out a few heartless in Traverse Town, and we discovered this girl being attacked by heartless. Sora, Akari, and Rinn managed to destroy the heartless before her heart was taken, but she doesn’t seem to be doing very well,†He explained. Merlin examined the small girl. “Is there anything you can do to help her?†Kaori asked. Merlin thought for a second, trying to think of any potions or spells that he might have. “Well, there’s a good chance that she might be in a stage of losing her heart,†Merlin said. “I’m not sure if I have a potion that can help…†He thought about every potion he had, unable to think of one that could help. The group looked at each other worriedly. “I know of a potion that can help,†A voice said from the doorway.

Everyone turned to see a girl with curly brown hair. She was wearing a black and white, long sleeved shirt with a black mini skirt and strappy, black boots. Her hands were on her hips and a smirk spread across her face as she walked up to them. “It’s sure to help her get better,†She said, a glint of mischievousness behind her brown eyes. Sora glanced back at the girl, unsure. He then looked back at the stranger. “Who are you…?†He asked immediately. The girl smirked. “The name’s Zoe,†She said, pointing towards herself. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a bottle. “Now stop asking questions and have her drink this,†She said and tossed to bottle to Riku, who caught the bottle. He examined it. “How do we know that we can trust you?†He asked.

Merlin stepped forward. “Ah, Zoe! It’s good to see you again!†He said and smiled walking over to her. He looked at the potion that she had given Riku. “That’s a Lixir…†He said, thinking. A smile then crossed his lips. “Yes, yes! That should work!†He said. “Good thinking, Zoe! As brilliant as always!†The group looked at each other and then shrugged, but they decided to try it. Riku uncorked the bottle. Kaori held the small girl’s hed up as Riku had the small girl drink the concoction. Akari and Rinn glanced at each other worriedly. “Please let it work…†They all thought as they waited to see what would happen.

 

great story as always >o<

 

Whee finally.Yay I liked it.Can't wait for the next chapter.
