Chapter 3
"What do you mean?" Hijirikawa asked as he and the other five males let the information settle inside their minds.
"What I mean is this, will you six stay here in this world and wait for Haruka or," Taika glances at Riku and Sora. "Will you go with them to save Haruka?" Taika asked and gaze at the six boys.
"The six of you will have tomorrow to reply. So go back to Saotome Gakuen and think about it." Taika said and summons a portal. Not knowing what to do, their bodies moved on their own towards the portal. Once all six of them entered the portal, the portal closed and disappears. Taika then turn her attention to Sora, Riku, and Kairi.
"Riku, Sora, tomorrow when they make their decision you should take Kairi to Merlin for training in magic." Taika said and the trio looks at her with a questionable stare.
"Why?" Sora asked and Taika smiles sadly at him.
"You will see when you guys exit out of this world." Taika replied and sighs before covering her eyes with the palm of her right hand.
"Haru-chan…I only isolated her because I knew this day would come." Taika couldn't help let out a sob. "The only people I would let Haru-chan socialize with were people older than her, from her mother's homeworld." Taika confessed before she removes her right hand palm from her pale aqua eyes. Sora, Riku, and Kairi could see tears falling down from her eyes.
"I never let Haru-chan out of this house. So when she turned 13 years-old, she asked me if she could go into the city for the first time. At first I thought it wasn't a good idea, but in the end I gave her permission. Thinking that once she was in the city, that she would realize that staying here is better." Taika said and the trio silently listens to her.
"So when she came back, she literally pleaded to me to let her go out more. Before I could response with a negative answer, I saw it in her eyes." Taika let out a chuckle that almost sounded like she was proud. "In Haru-chan unique colored eyes was a flame, her mother's flame. I knew that like her mother, Haru-chan would not take no as an answer. She would be determined to make me say yes, no matter what she would concentrate on getting me to say yes." Taika then smiles sadly.
"Wait Master Taika, why would you think that Haruka would stay here all her life?" Kairi asked and the two boys were also curious.
"Because when Haru-chan was seven years-old, we traveled her mother's homeworld…something happened to her." Taika said as she walks towards another picture frame, this one was a pale pink with tiny yellow petals etched on it. The photograph in the picture frame was Haruka ridding on a large yellow bird that almost resemble an ostrich in size. Taika then picks it up and gently touches it. "She got kidnap by some organization called, The Flames of Uriel." Taika then grimaced.
"They somehow founded out that Haruka was a Princess of Heart. I don't know how, but they found out about her being a Princess of Heart. They conducted some experiments on her in the hopes of crystallizing her to obtain her light. The experiments resulted in her having extremely sensitive empathy, however I later learned that she could only do the empathy with people she didn't know, and that the sensitivity goes away when she learns more about them." Taika said.
"So that's why you didn't want her to go into the city, because she would be overwhelmed by unknown people emotions being thrown at her in every direction." Riku said and Taika nods.
"That's correct, however I casted a charm on her pendent to only allow her to use her sensitive empathy on those who wish to befriend her. Before she started going to that academy." Taika replied and puts down the picture frame.
"I don't know if I should be thanking this Hayato, for showing her a…light in that lonely darkness…" Taika muttered.
Haruka while looking over the white bookcase heard a quiet meow. She turns around and sees a window she didn't notice before. Her eyes widened when she notices a familiar black cat with emerald eyes that had a turquoise hue to them, tapping the glass with its right paw. Haruka immediately walks towards the window and opens it. "Is that you Kuppuru?" She asked and gently strokes the cat's head, getting a purr as a response.
"How did in the worlds did you get here all by yourself?" Haruka asked and before Kuppuru could response, they heard a knock on the door. Haruka grabs Kuppuru and quickly puts him under the bed, just in time. The door opened to reveal a woman who had shoulder length hot pink hair that had veronica purple colored highlights. The woman also had Harvard crimson colored eyes. The pink haired woman was wearing a dark gray dress that had a cherry blossom pattern on it; she was also wearing crimson high heels.
"Hello you must be Haruka right? Or should I call you Haru-chan?" The pink haired woman asked.
"Um, who are you?" Haruka asked and pink haired woman eyes widened before she lightly hits her own head.
"Oops, sorry I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sakura." Sakura said and bows slightly to Haruka.
"How do you know my name?" Haruka asked.
"Master Xehanort has asked me to escort you to the bathing area to get you clean," Sakura replied and Haruka raised one of her eyebrows.
"And then I'm also suppose to escort you to the kitchen and dining area of this castle." Sakura finished and saunters out of the room, and looks at Haruka expecting the uniquely eyed colored girl to follow her.
"Um…okay..?" Haruka said a bit confuse, but never the less follows Sakura. When the two females closed the door behind them, Kuppuru pokes his head out from under the bed.
"What should we do..?" Ittoki asked as they begin to settle in one of the empty music rooms of Saotome academy. The portal teleported the six boys from Haruka's grandma place, back to Saotome academy, in front of the academy gates to be more specific. They then headed to one of the empty music room, and here they were feeling different emotions running through their minds.
"I mean shouldn't we just go with them, and rescue Haruka?" Ittoki asked the five other boys. There was silence among them, not knowing how to answer. However Ittoki looks at them with the fire of determination shinning in his red eyes. "I don't know about any of you guys, but I'm deftly going with them!" Ittoki said his voice laced in determination.
"I'm also going too." Hijirikawa also said walking towards Ittoki and stands besides the red head. There was silence among the other four males, not knowing what to do. Deep down inside however, they all were thinking of one thing, Haruka. Shou looks at Junguji, Ichinose, and Shinomiya.
"I think we all know the answer." Shou said before he too walks to Ittoki.
Jinguji lets out a silent chuckle, "It looks we are all thinking of the same thing it seems." The honey blond male said and begins to also walk over to Ittoki.
The remaining two males, Shinomiya and Ichinose, stare at each other before they turned their heads towards the other four males. They all saw Haruka as their light, in a melancholy of darkness. She shinned a light when they gave up hope. They were even surprise that she chose all of them, instead of picking the obvious choice, Ichinose. So there was no way in hell they were just going to sit around and wait for Haruka to come back; they were going to make sure she came back unharmed!
"She is," Shinomiya said and glances at Ichinose, "our light after all." Ichinose finished and the two remaining males walk towards Ittoki.
"We all agree then that we should go with those two and rescue Haruka?" Hijirikawa said and they all nod.
Suddenly all six boys jumped in surprise when they heard the door behind them slam open. They turned around to see an infuriated Tomochika looking at them. "What do you mean by 'Rescue Haruka'? You six are saying that Haruka was kidnap!" Tomoshika shrieked and they all flinched.
'Oh no…' They all thought in unison, before they gulped.
Haruka came to a halt when she hears a beautiful yet eerie sound in the air. Sakura seemed to notice that Haruka stopped walking and also stops walking. It sounded like someone was playing a cello, since the sound was deep unlike a violin's or viola's high yet light resonance. "Who's playing that?" Haruka asked.
"It must be him again…" Sakura murmured and Haruka looks at her.
"Him?" Haruka asked in confusion and Sakura shrugs.
"Don't worry about it, Haru-chan. The person that is playing that sound hides from the other residents of this castle, so you probability won't see him any time soon." Sakura replied and motions Haruka to follow her again.
"Besides we're almost to the bathing area."
"So our next destination is Radiant Garden, right?" Kairi asked as she takes a bite of a deviled egg. Sora nods and bites into a tuna salad sandwich. Sora then chews and swallows the tuna salad sandwich.
"That's right, since the Gummi Ship took quite a beating when we're trying to arrive here to this world." Sora confirms and takes another bite out of the tuna salad sandwich.
The trio was sitting at the table, eating the food that Taika conjured a few minutes ago. Taika herself was not sitting with them. Instead she told them that she needed a bit of alone time, since she told them about why Haruka was isolated for most of her childhood.
"Do you miss your real homeworld Kairi?" Riku asked and Kairi raises her eyebrows in confusion.
"What you mean Riku?" She asked back.
"I mean do you miss it since you were originally born there." Riku asks and takes a bite of a roast beef sandwich.
Kairi thought about it for a second and smiles. "I somewhat miss it, but I also have family and friends at Destiny Islands. For me, it doesn't matter if Radiant Garden is my homeworld. As long as my heart or I have a connection to that world, it doesn't really matter." Kairi said and glances at the ocean.
"So let me get this straight," Tomochika begins and rubs her forehead in irritation. "Haruka was kidnapped by this so called 'Master Xehanort', and you guys are planning to go after him to get Haruka back, right?" Tomochika said and all six boys nodded.
"That is correct." Hijirikawa said.
Tomochika sighed and glances at each guy. "No wonder Haruka looked tired a few hours ago." Tomochika said and all six guys' eyes widened slightly.
"What do you mean by 'looked tired', Shibuya-san?" Jinguji asked.
"Haruka looked exhausted and a bit ill to be honest. I thought it was stress because the graduation audition is coming up, but it seemed to be something else." Tomochika sighed.
Now all six boys' eyes widened at what Tomochika said. Could it be that Haruka sensed Xehanort and decided to confront him? Did she also confront him to protect them and this world? They wanted to bow their heads in disgrace and regret. Noticing that they look a bit gloomy, Tomochika looks at them. "You guys better get some sleep then, if what you're telling me is true." Tomochika said to them before she saunters away from them and exits the room.
"I hope that the meal and bath were excellent, Haru-chan." Sakura said as she and Haruka were walking back to the room Haruka was staying in while in the castle. Haruka was now wearing a midnight black colored satin silk nightgown. Sakura on the other hand was wearing crimson flannel pajamas. Haruka couldn't help but blush a bit since the nightgown each down to her thighs.
"It was excellent Sakura-san." Haruka replied and Sakura glances at her.
"No need to be so formal Haru-chan, you can just call me Sakura-chan or Sakura." Sakura said and smiles kindly at the carmine pink haired girl.
"Um…okay Sakura-chan." Haruka said as she and Sakura stop in front of the white door.
"Hope you sleep peacefully tonight Haru-chan." Sakura said as Haruka opens the white door and nods at Sakura. Haruka then closes the door, and once it closed Sakura's expression turns dismal. Sakura walks away from the door and notices Xehanort walking towards her.
"So, did she looked and acted like she did from when you last saw her?" Xehanort questions her. Sakura narrow her eyes at Xehanort. "Yes…her hair color, her eyes, and even her voice!" Sakura exclaimed and stomps over to Xehanort and glares at him, her Harvard crimson eyes trying to pierce the outer shell of his soul.
"The last time I met her was when she was dying in the arms of that prince! Who also wielded a Keyblade!" Sakura hissed her voice lace in fury.
"That's why you had yourself crystallized, because you didn't want to go on with the knowledge that she was dead. Since she was the first person in your life to be your friend and not shun you because you are a half breed." Xehanort sneered and Sakura flinched.
Sakura grits her teeth together in frustration and clenches her right hand, before she inhales and exhales air to calm down. Sakura then turns away from him and walks away from Xehanort, still pissed off as hell.
Haruka couldn't help but sigh as she was lays down onto the bed. The bed was a canopy bed that was king sized. White satin lace was hanging from above the bed and surrounds the bed like a veil. The bed covers were a midnight blue, and the pillows were a glossy gray. Haruka hears a meow and looks at the corner of the bed, to see it was Kuppuru. Kuppuru was looking at her with his emerald turquoise hue eyes.
Haruka smiles at Kuppuru and sits up. She then gently grabs him and puts him on her lap. "What do you think I should do Kuppuru?" She asked her black cat companion. Kuppuru looks up at her and meows.
"I mean I'm stuck here in this unknown castle." She said and pets Kuppuru. Kuppuru purrs as Haruka strokes him and also rubs his chin. Kuppuru meows as if to encourage or cheer her up.
A few minutes later of petting Kuppuru, an idea hits her making her eyes widened. As if reading her mind, Kuppuru gets off of her lap. Haruka then rushes stand up and head towards the desk. The desk was made out of ebony wood and on the desk were a pink fountain pen, a red quill, some pencils, a container filled with whiteout, and an inkwell. She then opens one of the drawers. Inside of the drawer was lots of blank white paper to the left and empty music sheets to the right. She grabs one of music sheets, and sits down on the dark brown chair. She then grabs the pink fountain pen and begins to write on it.
A few hours later and Haruka couldn't help but let out a sigh. She puts the pen down and looks at the music sheet in front of her. Haruka gets out of the chair and grabs the music sheet with her left hand. Then she walks towards the window and opens it. 'I hope this reaches them.' She thought and stretches her left arm and releases the music sheet. She watches as the music sheet dance in the blowing wind.
The moon was shinning up in the dark blue sky, illuminating the barren land below her. Feeling the cold wind blowing at her, Haruka shivered and closes the window before she goes under the bed sheets and closes her eyes with Kuppuru cuddling against her. Unknown to her however, when she closed the window an unknown figure don in white, red, and black armor catches the music sheet before looking at it.
The morning sun shinned brightly as Ittoki, Hijirikawa, Jinguji, Shou, Shinomiya, and Ichinose were waiting. Instead of wearing their school uniform like yesterday, they were wearing different clothes. The first male, Ittoki, was wearing a red shirt and blue jeans that went down to his knees. The second male, Hijirikawa, was wearing a long sleeved aquamarine blue shirt and white pants. The third male, Jinguji, was wearing a black shirt and dark blue jeans. The fourth male, Shou, was wearing a cream color shirt that had pale pink trim on it, on top of his head was a white fedora that had a red ribbon on it and on the ribbon was the Saotome Gakuen symbol on it, and he was also wearing wine colored shorts. The fifth male, Shinomiya, was wearing a yellow-green shirt with a mint colored vest over the shirt, he was also wearing forest green pants. The last male, Ichinose, was wearing white shirt and black pants. All six of them were in the forest, the same area where Xehanort took Haruka.
They all felt nervous, yet at the same time they were determined. They waited for a while before the same portal from last night appears in front of them and Riku steps out of it. The light silver haired boy looks at them, "Have you six decided on an answer?" Riku asked and they all nodded.
"Yes we have," Ichinose says and steps forward, "we decide to go with you guys to rescue Haruka." He said and the other five boys nod.
"Alright then, Master Taika would like to see you guys before we head out." Riku said and the six boys nod.
However before any of the boys could walk into the portal, they heard a female voice, "Wait!" they heard and turn around to see Tomochika running towards them. "Tomo-chan?" Ittoki said as Tomochika stops running when she was in front of them.
Tomochika glances at Riku and the portal behind him. "I guess you guys weren't making things up…" She said and looks at them.
"You thought we were making things up?" Shou huffed.
"I just couldn't believe it when you guys told me." Tomochika admitted. 'Besides when you guys told me what happened, I thought that they were under the influence of something to be honest…' She mused and gaze at each boy in the eyes before her gaze falls onto the light silver haired boy. She briefly gazes at him for a few moments, then turn her gaze at the boys.
"Just promise me this," Tomochika said to them and a darkly fierce aura surrounds the carmine red headed girl. "You guys bring Haruka back, and if you guys dare to hurt her heart. I will beat you guys to a bloody pulp if that were to happen, you got that?" She said and they gulped, Riku couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for them since he too have been on the receiving end of a female's wrath.
"Yes ma'am!" All six of them said in unison.
"Better get going then." Tomochika said and watches as they hastily walk into the portal.
Inside Taika's house, Taika herself was in some kind study holding a white marble case. The lid of the white marble case was a see through glass. In the case were six necklaces and six teardrop shaped pendants hanging from the necklaces arranged on the velvet interior of the case. Taika hears knocking, and turns her hear towards a wooden door that was painted a mint cream color. "The door is unlocked." Taika said and watched as the black metal knob turns, and the door opens to reveal Kairi.
"Master Taika, Riku has brought them." Kairi said and Taika smiles.
"Good, tell Riku to bring them here." Taika said and Kairi nods before she left the study and closed the door behind her.
30 seconds later, the door opens to reveal Ichinose, Shou, Shinomiya, Ittoki, Jinguji, and Hijirikawa. Riku was by the door, and he slightly bows in respect before he closed the door leaving the six boys to talk to Taika. Taika smiles at them and walks over to them. "I see that you six have made a decision." She said and they all nodded in reply.
"Then you six will need these," Taika said and opens the marble case. "What are those?" Shinomiya asked as he and the other five boys look at the necklaces.
"They are necklaces that hold magic power within their pendants that will help you out on your journey." She replied and gestures them to take a necklace. The first one to take one of the necklaces was Jinguji. The necklace that he grabbed was a necklace that had an orange sunstone pendant hanging from it. The necklace itself was gold with silver intertwining with the gold. Jinguji puts on the necklace and hides it under his black shirt, were it hanged on his chest. Seeing that nothing bad was happening to Jinguji, the rest took it as a sign that the necklaces were safe to wear.
The second male to take one of the necklaces was Hijirikawa. The necklace Hijirikawa grabbed was a necklace that had a blue spinel gemstone pendent. The necklace was metallic blue, azure, and sky blue all intertwining together. Like Jinguji he too puts it on and hides it under his aquamarine blue long sleeved shirt.
The third male to take a necklace was Ittoki. The necklace he picked was a necklace that had a red ruby pendent. The necklace was crimson, orange, and ember on it that remained him of fire. Again, like the other two males he wears it then hides it under his shirt.
The fourth male to take a necklace was Ichinose. The necklace he picked was a necklace that was midnight blue, indigo, and royal azure that had a sapphire pendent on it. Ichinose gazes at the pendent, before he puts it on and hides it.
The fifth male to take one of the remaining two necklaces was Shinomiya. The necklace he chose was a necklace that had a pale yellow citrine gemstone as the pendent. The necklace chain was yellow, orange, and sunglow that remained Shinomiya of the sun. He too wears it except Shinomiya doesn't hide it.
The last one to take the remaining necklace was Shou. The last necklace chain colors were lemon yellow and cherry blossom pink, the pendent was a pale pink kunzite. Shou puts on the necklace and Taika nods before she set down the case. "You can all go, except Shou." She said and Shou raises an eyebrow. "I need to speak with him about something."
Shinomiya, Ittoki, Jinguji, Hijirikawa, and Ichinose stare at Shou. Shou waved at them, they took it as a sign that Shou would be okay speaking with Taika alone. They nod in acknowledgement and left the study. As they walk away from the two, Shinomiya glances at Shou for a few second before he walks out of the study and closes the door behind him.
When Shou and Taika hear the door shut with a click, Shou turn his attention towards Taika. "So what do you want to talk about, Taika-san?" He asked.
"How is that heart of yours doing?" Taika asked and Shou eyes widened.
"W-What are you talking about, my heart's in good shape Taika-san." Shou said nervously.
Taika sighed, "Don't play me as a fool young one. I know that you have a heart condition ever since you were born into this world." The old woman said. Shou was about to opened to mouth to say something, but Taika spoke before he could say anything. "No, Haruka nor anyone you know told me about your heart condition." Taika stated.
"Then how in the world do you know about it?" Shou asked.
"You can say it is ability Keyblade Masters get when they grow in power." Taika replied. Shou was silent for a few second before he look at Taika.
"Are you trying to not make me go, because of this heart condition?" Shou said calmly.
Taika shook her head, "No that is not the case." She said and looks at Shou with a firm expression on her face. "I know that this journey will make you push the limits of your heart, which will cause you to faint a lot more then you will imagination; which is why I'm going to give you an item that will help you out." Taika said and Shou looks at her with wide eyes.
Taika grabs another box. This box unlike the white marble box was pink with a nightingale etched on the lid of the box, and silver hearts surround the nightingale. Taika opens it to reveal a platinum bracelet. The platinum bracelet had a green aventurine gemstone in the center of the bracelet. Around the green aventurine were pink coral stones in the shape of spheres. Taika grabs the platinum bracelet and hands it to Shou. Shou nervously grabs the bracelet and notices that the inner walls of the bracelet were engraved with strange black letters. Shou shrugged his shoulder at the strange black letters and puts the bracelet on his left wrist.
Immediately Shou could feel something enter his body and into his heart. The feeling wasn't agonizing, but rather calming, warm, and vigorous. The strange good feeling then disappears and Shou looks at Taika with raised eyebrows in confusion. "What was that?" Shou asked.
"That young one is the effect the bracelet has." Taika replied.
"You mean that this bracelet is doing this..?" Shou asked confuse.
"One of the main purposes of the bracelet you're wearing is that it extends the wearer's heart to make up be able to take up more stress than before." Shou eyes widened at what Taika was saying.
"You mean that…" Shou murmured and Taika nods.
"That is correct this also means that you will not faint as mush. However there is also a bit of a downside to it," Taika said with a grim expression, "if you stress your heart too much for the effects of the bracelet to fade away, then the bracelet will go into a cooling phase that will take a long time for your heart to recover and will also cause you to feel very fatigue later. Just remember what I've just told you, and you'll be fine as long as you are wearing the bracelet." Taika finished and Shou nods in acknowledgement.
Taika then points at the door, "You better go before your five friends start to worry."
Sora, Riku, and Kairi were standing by an orange space ship that looked a bit banged up. Shinomiya, Jinguji, Hijirikawa, Ittoki, and Ichinose just stared at it with bewilderment. "What is this?" Hijirikawa especially asked.
"This?" Sora asked and Hijirikawa nods. "It's a Gummi Ship!" Sora said and the five boys look at Sora.
"A Gummi Ship..?" Ittoki asked. Seeing that the five males were still confused by the appearance of the Gummi Ship, Riku decide to explain to them what the Gummi Ship was (even though he himself didn't know much about the Gummi Ship, just the basics).
"The Gummi Ship is vehicle that will allow us to travel to different worlds." Riku stated and the confuse expression on their faces fainted a bit.
"It looks a bit…thrash up." Jinguji couldn't help but comment.
Before Riku or Sora could reply, Shou shows up and looks at the Gummi Ship.
"What in the hell is that?"
Taika watched from the living room as the Gummi Ship rises from the ground and up into the ship before the ship soars into the sky and disappears from her sight. Taika couldn't help but smile a bit before it was replace with a frown. 'It looks like a have to active that music box again.' She thought and saunters out of the living room. Taika soon approaches a door that was painted black. Taika grabs the golden door knob and opens the door. The black door then reveals a room that had mirrors of different shapes hanging from the walls and ceiling of the room. There were also windows in the room, four of them to be more accurately. In the center of the room was a wooden cherry wood table stool, and on it was a glossy navy blue music box that had golden flower petals etched on the lid and gold blossoming flowers on the sides of the music box.
"Never thought that I would have to active this thing again," Taika chuckled a bit, "the last I opened this thing up was that when I had Yen Sid take care of Haruka when we found out that Maleficent was hunting down the Princesses of Heart." Taika muttered to herself and walks toward the table stool.
When she reaches the table stool, Taika touches the surface of the music box with her right index finger. She touches both sides of the music box and grips the sides before opening the music box. Immediately a beautiful yet haunting sound plays and a blinding light bursts out of the music box.
"What the..!" Everyone in the Gummi Ship watched as the world they left was being covered by a pale blue bubble. The world itself colors were getting a lighter shade to them almost making them white.
"What's happening?" Ichinose asked alarmed.
"I-I don't know…" Kairi said.
'Was this what Master Taika was talking about?' Riku thought as they flew away from the world.
Chapter 3 end
Celestial Reyvateil: -Cheers- Yay! I'm glad that I've got this chapter finished! Sorry if the ending seemed a bit rushed. -Sighs- I'm dreading thanksgiving…Because family drama is going to strike BIG time, so I hope that it doesn't interfere with the next update.
