Smith felt his and Riku's blades come in contact, a soft grunt leaving his lips at the force. He put pressure against the teen's Keyblade, knowing that he could overcome him with brute force. "Roxas, hold up a sec," Sora said, stopping in his tracks and looking down at the ground. Something changed in the air...Smith was in the city. That was the only explanation Sora could think of, and it fit, since that change he caught onto was darkness in the air.
Indeed....
Smith rolled off to the side, seeing the orbs hit the ground where he had been standing. He rushed forward, his gunblade in his grip as he charged at Riku. This would be a quick battle, especially since Riku just gave him an unknown advantage. Namine stepped back with Kairi as well, feeling her friend grip her arm. The blond kept an eye on things, praying that Riku would be able to hold off Smith. She didn't want to go with him; it was bad enough that he was here now, even if he wasn't directly affecting her at the moment. He was fighting a friend of hers, and that was enough to make her feel uneasy.
Yuppers...
"Hmph," Smith said, pointing his blade at Riku as a challenge. "If you're so determined, then you won't mind fighting me until Roxas and Sora return. That's why you're stalling, after all." Smith wasn't a fool; Riku was expecting Sora and Roxas to sense trouble and then return in time to help. But Smith was going to make this quick, so he didn't fear any interference.
Actually, I don't think it's too bad for a oneshot; I guess it depends on how deep/shallow it is.
"Highly unlikely," Smith said, gripping his blade more tightly by his side. "He'll be too stricken with grief when I take away his precious Nobody again." He had gotten his hands on her two times in the past, one of those times as his captive for hours. That plan had almost worked, too, only failing because Sora was stronger than he had anticipated. Namine bit down on her lip, lowering her gaze to the ground when she was brought into this conversation. Of course the memories came back to her, not that they had really left in the first place. Please don't let him get to me...she mentally pleaded to Riku, not wanting anything that bad to happen again.
Summaries are awful. Dx
"You think you can kill me, Riku?" Smith asked, arching a brow. "Good luck. You think I've been lazing around for the past day or two since I escaped the Realm of Darkness?" Of course, he had been growing in power, also getting a charm from his home world that gave him a very special ability.
Yeah, so far, it is one of my favorites. I'm still looking up more possibilities, though.
Namine set her sketch pad on the ground, not caring about it as she rose to her feet behind Riku. She could still see Smith, though, which made her uncomfortable. Why was he here? What did he want with them...? "Vengeance, of course," Smith replied with a light shrug, his weapon appearing in his hand. "I had thought you would have figured that out by now." Apparently Riku wasn't as smart as he had been led to believe; it was pretty obvious that he was here to steal the girls of the boys that had entrapped him in the Realm of Darkness.
Yeah, so that's why I wanted something you don't dig deep into to understand.
"Hello, everyone." Namine opened her eyes, a soft gasp leaving her at the voice. She instantly looked around, but she couldn't see the source of the voice anywhere. She knew that she hadn't imagined it, and she hadn't just heard it in her head. Where was he? "Over here," Smith said, appearing several yards ahead of the three teens and standing between them and the house. "Out enjoying the nice weather, I see." It was a decent temperature, not that he bothered with that. He looked to the Nobody first before his gaze shifted to Riku, who was standing near to her and the princess.
It does, but I think a lot of my readers will assume that it's a reference to the planet, not Riku's name.
Namine kept her fingers in her hair, the girl not responding directly to Kairi's question. "It's really bad this time," she said softly, shutting her eyes without thought. She hadn't felt this dizzy since yesterday morning, before the boys had even returned. She never did find out why she got so dizzy at that random time...
I like Light And Shadow as well. ;3 I'm not so sure about the last two, though, since the story doesn't actually involve the planet Earth.
Namine continued to sketch the flower, aware that Kairi was looking at the picture but not really caring. It was just a doodle, so she wasn't overly concerned with how good or bad her drawing was. After a minute or two, though, she lost focus, blinking when she felt dizzy. She set down her pencil and brought up a hand, lightly holding it to her head as she gazed down at the ground. She hadn't felt dizzy most of the morning, but it was getting kind of bad now.
I'll post them all, and you can help pick out favorites. ;3 After The Sunrise The Approaching Night Distant Starlight League of Darkness Calling...
A few hours later... Namine sat in the backyard of Kairi's house, her two friends also with her. Since they had been cooped up in the house yesterday, Kairi had suggested that they sit outside and enjoy some fresh air, since it was a nice day. Riku had agreed that they could do it, so now they were all outside by a tree, Namine sitting with a sketchpad she borrowed from Kairi as she drew a flower that had managed to bloom despite the recent snowfall. .
I can't wait to post it! I also found a few more title ideas, but none of them quite fit... I figured maybe Namine would be drawing a flower or...
