Thread: The Key Corrupted (Kingdom Hearts) - (Agnores and SullenMadHatter)

The pain eased almost immediately, she breathed a sigh of relief as the pain faded and she was able to put weight back on her ankle. She tested it leaning on the ankle and taking a few steps. She chanced a look at the young man who saved her but he was looking off into the distance, following his gaze she caught sight of a black hood disappearing into a portal of swirling darkness. She frowned, the feeling of darkness that had been pressing down on her disappeared along with him. What had he been? Why was such a strong heartless even here? Because there was a new keyblade user about? She studied Zane, he was a dark keyblade user, and like Riku, the darkness was starting to swallow him up bit by bit. She couldn't see it but she could feel it. His smile though, when he chose to bestow it on her was radius and infectious, she found herself smiling in return my name is... Kairi! Sophie came back and behind her were a few officers. The officers eyes were hard as they looked around for any sign of danger, they took in Kairi's disheveled appearance and the sight of the odd young man standing beside her. Are you okay Miss? they asked her eying Zane with a distrustful expression. Kairi assured them she was okay and with a final look at Zane they left. Sophie hung back awkwardly as Kairi turned back to Zane. Well.. yeah I'm Kairi I'm just a student... which reminds me I am seriously late... thanks for saving me Zane. She flashed him a bright smile bending to pick up her bag which had been dropped sometime during the fight. Scooping it up she rushed past him and snatched up Sophie's hand. Ignoring Sophie's questions she rushed the two of them to school. He was cute Kairi a night in shining armor helping a damsel in distress.... Sophie sighed dramatically holding her hand to her heart. That's soo romantic the girls were walking home, school had just ended for the day. Zane had been on her mind all day, it was no surprise considering he had saved her but still her cheeks warmed at Sophie's comment. Oh quiet Sophie... Kairi bristled. She didn't want to be thought of as a damsel in distress, didn't really want to be saved because she couldn't take care of herself. Ever since the events with Riku and Sora Kairi had promised herself that she would try to fight on her own... Obviously she had a lot of work to do. But Kairi, he's like your white knight or something... Sophie continued ignoring Kairi. He wasn't even wearing white Sophie Kairi smiled at her friend, the girl had always been a romantic at heart, a sucker for all things loveydovey. So he's your mysterious black knight.... Oh that's even better she cooed without missing a beat. Kairi shook her head and waved goodbye as Sophie skipped down the road towards her house, the girl was such a ditz, but Sophie always managed to bring Kairi out of a funk and make her feel better. Humming she turned down the road not to her house but towards the beach. She wanted to visit their special spot. No one really went down to the island anymore, except for some younger kids. Rowing had been easier when she was younger, panting she pulled into the dock and disembarked. Kids were on the island some were play fighting, others were playing tag on the sandy shore, or fishing in the shallows. She went out to the papou tree leaning against the palm. She remembered the last time she, Riku, and Sora were there together. Her face grew sad, they hadn't been together like that in a long time. She didn't know when or if they ever would again. Though she held out hope one day they would be.
