Well, me and Luster Dragon were getting in a dispute about who would win, Indiana Jones or James Bond, well it got me thinking, who would win in a clash of the movie titans? Here are the options: Indiana Jones James Bond Han Solo (No luke, the force is an unfair advantage, and yes both IJ and Han are in it XP) That's all I got, but I'll put an other option, and you can just say who you think if you think someone else. No TV people though, so No Chuck Norris and No Mr. Rogers XD
This story actually isn't written by me, it was written by my girlfriend ^_^. It is a songfic to the song "Far Away" by Nickelback. The reason I am posting it is because of a story I am currently working on, which is the sequel/continuation to this story. I wanted to be able to post that story, but Without this story, you would be COMPLETELY lost. I encourage you all to read this. This story is amazing, and I loved reading it. I hope you all enjoy it too. *grabs popcorn and rereads.* (Oh, and ps, my GF is Divine of Grace. Long story, that actually orginated from a story XP) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary: [songfic: Far Away by Nickelback] Kairi and Sora have moved passed their adventurous teenage ways and have started a family together, but has Sora's itch for adventure cost him more than he bargined for? [Divine of Grace] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Sora… you can’t leave… not again… you promised me…” Kairi’s eyes began to swell with tears as she begged her husband not to leave. Riku stood silent in the doorway of a beautiful little white house by the beach. Sora stepped towards Kairi to comfort her and said softly, “Kairi… hunny…” Kairi shook her head and stepped back. She placed her hand around her growing belly that concealed her special gift to her husband. Tears streamed down her cheeks and dropped down to her light blue blouse. She looked at her stomach and said, “Sora, you promised me… no more. You said you wanted this…this life. No more adventures Sora…. You have a lot more to risk now… and you’re not young like you used to be…” “Kairi… They need me. I promised them too. I promised I’d always be willing… no matter what the cost…” he responded while he continued to move closer to her. He reached out his hand to touch her, but she again moved away. “So, They are more important that your family? Is that it Sora? You’ll break your promise to your own WIFE, but not them? Sora… that’s ridiculous.” Kairi looked at Riku and said, “Sorry Riku… but this is just not fair. He left me for a year and PROMISED me he’d never leave me again… he PROMISED.” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This time, this place, Misused, Mistakes Too long, too late Who was I to make you wait? Just One chance, just one breath Just in case there’s just one left -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A door opened quietly to a dark room and Sora whispered quietly, “Kairi? Are you asleep?” “No, Sora.” She replied as she rolled over and pulled up the covers to her cheeks. Sora walked in the room and stood at the foot of their bed. “Can I talk to you?” he asked softl. “Don’t be stupid. Yes, talk to me. I can’t sleep either.” She said sarcastically. “Kairi, please… Baby… don’t make this harder than it actually is… Please… I love you. “ Sora said as he came around the bed and turned up the covers. He slid in bed beside her and wrapped his arms around her. Kairi sighed and turned to face him. “Sora… don’t. Don’t even try to blame this on me. You promised Sora. Don’t you remember? You gave me your word and I gave you my hand. Sora… you swore to me that you wanted a family, you wanted to settle down, you wanted to give up your adventures… Sora… you promised.” “Kairi… I know but this is different. I’m not going away to fight. The King himself called especially for me… you heard Riku. I pledged my loyalty to the King, you were there when I did it Kairi… you know I’ll be home safe in a few days. Kairi I still want to have this life… but this is kind of like… my last adventure… my last chance. Baby, I love you so much. I know I promised this was it, but this is my last one for good. Our baby will be here in a few short months, I start my new job in a few weeks and you’re almost done with school. Kairi, baby… you know how much this means to me…” Sora said as he looked deeply into Kairi’s eyes. Kairi sighed and pulled him closer saying, “I know… I know Sora…” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cause you know, you know, you know: I love you I’ve loved you all along I miss you Been Far away for far too long I keep dreaming You’ll be with me And you’ll never go Start breathing If I don’t see you anymore -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kairi woke up alone in her bed. Her autumn hair was a mess and her bed felt cold and empty. She laid her hand on his vacant pillow and caressed it gently. Tears came slowly as she fought the urge to cry. Kairi got up, wiped away the tears and slid out of bed. She wandered sleepily into the kitchen where she opened her refrigerator to get a glass of milk. She drank it quickly, as her usual morning routine, and went to hop in the shower. It was becoming increasingly harder each day as her baby grew inside her. Her baby wasn’t just a child; it was also a sign of hope for her. This child was a constant reminder of Sora’s presence, even though he was showing no sign of returning soon. Kairi continued with her morning routine and got ready for class. She was only going part time, but she felt like she was there all the time. She left the house a little after ten and walked down the beach alone. She watched the waves churn over and over against the sand, the waves themselves whispering softly. Kairi rubbed her belly that began to move as the little life inside kicked about with a wild excitement. “I know baby… daddy will be home soon.” She whispered caressing the moving bumps. Kairi fought to stay awake during her classes that drug on and on. The clock in the corner of the room seemed to befriend the professor’s droning voice that did not ever change tone throughout the class. Kairi began to drift off Ecology on the island onto her loving husband. Oh Sora, she thought, you promised… “Only two weeks”… is been 2 months… what if I can’t wait for the baby? What if you’re not here? I need you so much… I can’t do this alone… The class finally ended and Kairi was on her way home. Not hat class had finished, she had the mail to comfort her. She rushed home to find that the postman had indeed stopped by. Sora was meticulous about telling Kairi about everything that was happening. The Post office was bewildered at the letters that mysteriously arrived on the front steps of the office. The Post office Manager had personally delivered the first few, trying to question Kairi for any detail. Kairi excitedly opened the mailbox and found a familiar cream colored letter leaning up against the side of the tin side. Opening the letter, her eyes began to well with tears. Hey Kairi, I know you’re probably furious that it has been so long…I’m so sorry hunny. This is getting pretty out of control here, but I know that this is it. No more adventures. I know my heart lies with you and I miss you far too much to ever leave you again. I know I’ve been away for way too long, but I only hope you can forgive me someday. I’m trying really hard to get back to you as fast as I can. Kairi I’ll be honest, I don’t know how long this will be… Riku estimates about another month… I sure hope not… I know I just can’t be away that long. How are you? How is the baby? I hope you’re doing okay without me… Kairi I hope that if you need any help you will go to your parents… I know that you want to do this on your own… but they could really help you out and they are always willing. They really do love you and want to be apart of our life baby. Sometimes it’s okay to ask for help you know. Kairi I promise I’ll be home as soon as possible. I cannot tell you where I am, but- I can promise I will see you again. I love you more than words can ever describe. I’ll be home soon baby. Love to you always, Sora -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On my knees I’ll ask Last Chance for one last dance Cause with you I will stand All of it to hold your hand I’d give it all, I’d give for us I’ll do anything, but I won’t give up -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kairi found herself sitting alone once again in her room. Another week had slowly passed, but this time, Sora had not sent any letters. Her stomach was almost at its bursting point and she could feel her baby growing restless inside her womb. “I know baby… it will be soon…” She said quietly. It was the dusk of another lonely day and Kairi could not seem to settle down for bet. She felt dizzy and sick, but nothing was wrong. Kairi could feel the air changing against her skin and the hair rise up on her arms. Sora’s eyes were on her and Kairi turned to the doorway to find him standing there smiling with tears running down his cheeks. She rubbed her eyes to make sure he was not just another dream and began to cry. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cause you know, you know, you know: I love you I’ve loved you all along I miss you Been far away for far too long I keep dreaming You’ll be with me and you’ll never go Start Breathing if I don’t see you anymore. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Hey baby” he breathed catching her in his arms. “I love you so much.” She said through the tears as she kissed his soft lips. Sora hugged her tighter and whispered into her ear, “I love you too.” “I can’t believe you’re finally back! I’m never letting you go again… Never ever.” “Kairi-“ “Sora I missed you so much… I was so afraid I would never see you again… and the baby… I know its any day now… Oh my God baby, why are you crying?” She said eagerly “Kairi… hunny… you’re not going to understand… I’m hear to say I love you… and goodbye…” “…What?” Kairi said letting go of him. Sora began to cry harder as he lifted his torn sleeve to reveal the black cuffs around his bloody cut up arms. Kairi then realized looking at him that his whole body was covered in cuts and bruises. The beautiful face she once knew so well was scared and sliced apart. “Kairi… we lost… Sephroth’s back… and he … he gave me one last chance… baby… I’m so sorry… I love you so much… you have no idea how much I’m dying inside. I love you so much Kairi… so so much…” Sora began sobbing as he grabbed his wife in another embrace. “Tell baby I love him too… and I’m sorry I never got the chance… the chance to hold him or meet him… tell him I love him… please… Kairi I’m so sorry… I love you.” Kairi felt her body grab onto him tightly begging, “No Sora… Please… you can’t leave me agai-“ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So Far Away (So Far Away) Far Away for far too long Far Away for far too long But you know, you know, you know: I want it I wanted you to stay Cause I needed, I needed to hear you say I love you I’ve loved you all along I forgive you For being away for far too long -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suddenly Kairi was interrupted by a cloaked figure that appeared behind Sora. He withdrew his sword and uncovered his face. Sephfroth’s silver hair shown like the moon on a black summer night as his body came into view. “Your time is UP boy.” He said sinisterly raising his sword about his head, bringing it thrashing down into Sora’s skull. Sora’s eyes remained fixed on Kairi as he fell limp into her arms. His body drenched her in his blood as they both fell helplessly to the ground. Kair found her body searing in pain as she looked up at the man who killed her husband. Sephroth smiled and said, “Here is your beloved husband. I’ve done what I needed to do” as he slowly turned around to leave. Kairi heard the front door slam shut and began sobbing because the blood from her husband began to mix with the water from her baby’s amniotic fluid on the floor surrounding her. Kairi held on tightly to the cold body that lay lifelessly next to her until another shadow appeared in the doorway. Kairi’s labor pains began to increase as the fear and anxiety overwhelmed her quivering body. “Kairi? Is that you?” A quiet whisper came from the shadow. Kairi looked up only when the light was turned on by Riku. “Oh my God…Kairi… what… what’s going on?” He gasped. “I… I don’t know…” she cried, “Sephroth… c-came… I don’t know… Sora…. My baby…” Kairi stammered before she began screaming in pain again. “I… need… a doctor… Riku… help…” she begged. Riku knelt down beside her to pick her up but she stopped him saying, “NO! A doctor… for SORA!” “Kairi…” Riku started, “Kairi come here. I promised him I’d always take care of you.” Riku said as he gathered her in his arms. Riku carried Kairi to the local doctor’s house down the road where she delivered her baby boy. Riku stayed at her bedside during the whole delivery and after he sat up with her through the night. The next morning, Kairi woke up to Riku who brought her new son, Seishou, to her. “Well” he said holding Seishou out to her, “the doctor says that despite everything, the baby is perfectly healthy.” Kairi took her soon and began to cry as she looked down into Sora’s eyes staring back at her. Seishou latched onto his mother and began crying until Kairi started Nursing him. “Riku… what… what happened?” Kairi asked quietly. “Kairi… are you sure you want to hear this right now?” “Riku… tell me… I want to know what happened to my husband.” “Kairi… it wasn’t supposed to be like this… Things were going on schedule until Sephroth trapped us inside the Castle Oblivion… we tried, but he just broke us down bit by bit… We just couldn’t… couldn’t fight back anymore. But before the whole things happened, Sora took me aside one night and made me swear that if anything were to ever happen to him, that I would take of you and the baby forever. Kairi… I swore to him I would watch over you both until my last dying breath.” Riku said this kneeling down beside her bed. Kairi ran her fingers through Riku’s long silver hair and down his cheeks. “Riku… I still don’t understand… why didn’t Sora use the keyblade?” “He did… but he was too weak to support it… and Sephroth knocked it out of his grasp… I retrieved it and I was going to give it back to him when I found him again… but I was too late… so now I want to give it to you… I know he would want you to have it.” Riku pulled the keyblade out from his black coat that was lying on the chair next to her bed. The keyblade was in its original state and shown in its glory. Kairi ran her fingers up the handle with tears streaming down her face. Riku stepped away from the bed and said quietly, “I’m so sorry Kairi…” “Kairi looked down at her baby boy. She ran her fingertips along his autumn hair and soft baby skin as he slept soundly on her bosom. “Don’t worry Seushou… daddy is always with us…” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So keep breathing cause I’m not leaving you anymore Believe it Hold on to me, never let me go Keep breathing Cause I’m not leaving you anymore Believe it Hold on to me never let me go. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope you all enjoyed the read :D Please leave a comment if you would. I will relay them all to my GF. Also, here are links to the rest of our stuff XP Twilightsown's Fanfiction Home Page
Alrighty folks, I was messing around today on Microsoft Movie Maker, and I made an automovie of one of the boss fights. It didn't turn out to bad and it gave me the idea of doing different music videos to each of the major boss fights in KH 2. What I want to know from you guys is, what song do you think fits each boss? If you could give me the name of the boss, and a song for them, I may get to making these. If not, this can still be a thread about which songs go with which bosses. (To mods, if you feel this doesn't fit this category, please move it to spam, but I thought it might fit this category. Sorry if it doesn't!)
Well, I made a new amv, and it is by far one of my best. I'm finally getting into using scene transitions, titles, and credits. The effect is one that is much better than I expected. It's a Roxas fic, and I hinted towards a Namine x Roxas coupling, though when I showed it to Rufus, her first comment was "No you didn't! Its Sora x Roxas at the end!" So you'll walk away from it with your own opinion :p Low quality Youtube: Lonely Soul -Roxas- High Quality Video Portal: Lonely Soul -Roxas- Also, I do not believe there to be any language in this video, but it is a System of a Down song, so it is possible. Enjoy ^_^
Alrighty folks, it's time for this rp to finally be under way! I'm going to put the setting of the story up now, but before I do that, I want to lay out the ground rules once more. 1: There is a three sentence limit, no less than that each post. The ONLY exception to this is if you are having a back to back convo with a single person, and even then you should be able to hit that by typing out how the person is feeling during the conversation. Be expressive and descriptive. This limit may get upped once everyone is more used to writing more literatively. 2: No Spam outside of OOC's, and they must be included in a conversation. You cannot post just an OOC, and no dialogue or character progression. If you need to say something to someone, then use a pm, thats what they are for. 3: Keep it in character. Some character's are not going to get along with others, thats just the way of life. You can use an event to bring these characters closer, but don't force it. Develop your character, don't start with them developed. 4: Remember the warning system. If I feel you are not being literative enough, you will be warned. An OOC without developing the story will result in an immediate warning. I will try to be lenient about this, but I will enforce it. Please don't make me have to be the bad guy. It's a three strikes your out rule, so keep that in mind. 5: For the sake of simpliscity, EVERYONE is the same age. This is an alternate universe, not the KH we know and love. You don't have powers, you are just average students. 6: HAVE FUN! This is the most important one. If you all don't have fun, then there is no point in doing this! PM me with suggestions at any time, I'll always be happy to hear them. TO ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO JOIN!!! - Please go post HERE Well, time for the plot ^_^ ------------------------------------------------ The bell rang for the last time of the school year and shouts could be heard coming from all throughout the school. Summer was here at last! It had been a long and arduous year at Destiny High, but it was finally over. Kids escaped from the confines of their closed off classrooms, and into the fresh ocean breeze, the sunlight warming their underused muscles and bones. Our tale begins with a few of these children. Certain ones, and others that would become important later. They left the school in all directions, none of them knowing each other aside from a select few. They were members of their own groups, their own cliques, each one with different plans, different ideas for how their summer would play out. This would be a summer of change, a summer that would shape who they would become for the remainder of their lives. Senior year was over, and this would be their last hurrah before college, and seperating from one another. One last summer to get everything out...One last summer of Destiny...
RUFUS TRULY DOES LIKE STRAIGHT COUPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You heard it here first folks, the self-proclaimed yaoi/yuri fanatic really does like straight couples! after talking to her for awhile, and rping across from her as Sora with her being Kairi, I have found out her secret: Rufus is a closet SoKai fan >< here is an excerpt from a convo we had: Rufus: i had a dream of sora and kairi Twilightsown: O___________________O Twilightsown: lier Rufus: it tru Rufus: i freaked out Twilightsown: lol, maybe your going straight XP Rufus: XD Rufus: this was last month tho Twilightsown: so it was even before me...your a closet SoKai fan ^_^ Rufus: i told my friend (yaoi fan) she goes, whhhhat??!

Though she may not admit to it, she is truly a SoKai fan, a small one at the least, and a supporter of straight couples!
Alrighty everyone, this thread was inspired by Kairi's phantoms? thread. I have a bunch of great ghost stories that I know, all of which are true. I'm curious as to others reactions to them, as well as other people's stories ^^. So gather around the campfire, pull up a log, and munch on that s'more, cause its ghost story time. Put some dramatic music on for effect as well! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, me and a few of my friends were sitting around a dying campfire at 12:00 o'clock at night. We had just finished a Halloween party, so we were in a good mood for scary tales. One by one we each told one another our stories, one's we'd experienced, and one's we'd been told by other close friends. There was a new person with us that night, a friend of One of my friend's who goes to Marian, whom had come with my close friend for the weekend. She had some amazing tales. I'm going to retell them here for your pleasure... "One of my good friend's that I met at a camp is incredibly superstitious. His whole family is, but they have a right to be. He would always tell me about stories of things that happened at their first house. The house they had originally lived in had been part of the underground railroad, but the hideout had been discovered, and all the slaves inside were killed, murdered in the place they had been hiding. When they bought the house the previous owner gave them a warning. 'Don't open the Attic, basement or the locked room on the second floor.' Obviously they didn't think much of it, so they turned the room on the second floor into a play room, and eventually a bedroom for the parents. The interesting thing about the room is that whether its the dead of winter, or blistering hot outside, the room is ALWAYS cold. When the parents turned it into their bedroom, interesting things began to happen. One night, the father woke up and at the foot of the bed, he saw three people standing there in civil war garb, a child, a woman, and a man. Thinking it was a dream, he went back to sleep. A little while later, the mother also woke up and looked down at the end of the bed. She saw the same thing. When they woke up in the morning, they told each other about a weird "dream " they had had, realizing they had seen the same thing. One of the children also confirmed this when they slep in their one night and saw the same three people." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Creepy no? And that is just the type of the iceberg on this house's stories. I hope to hear more from you all, and maybe a few ghost stories ^^. If people ask me to, I'll post another tale from this house. If I run out of stories for the house, I have quite a few more up my sleeve!
Would it be a good thing if Sora and Kairi kissed in the next game? I'm personally for it, but sgh brought up a good argument in another forum wherein he says that it would ruin the innocence of the characters. What is all of your opinions? I just found this question interesting as I was talking to Rufus last night about how when they made Kairi look good in KH2, they took away from her innocent factor, which in my mind hurt her character. Let the masses speak!
Welcome one and all to the introductory thread for the next great RP! I've been playing in a few Rp's, and I wanted to start my own, but I wanted to go in a new direction than the ones that I have been playing in. I want to take a spin more akin to that seen in It's a beautiful Day, The organization rp, in that I want it to be more literative. Three characters have already been taken: Kairi Sora and Riku. I have already requested the help of a few people who are rping as those characters (and I am Kairi.) The story is that the events of KH never happend. Life on Destiny Island has gone on as usual. That means Sora and Riku don't have Keyblades, and there aren't any nobodies. I have given thought to those of you who would like to be the Org. members, however. The org members will have to give what their Anagram spells out, and then they can role play as those characters true selves. Ex: Xemnas would go by Ansem. However, I'm not letting Ansem be in it, as there would be to many questions as to who he was. Characters have no powers, this is a real-life rp. No powers, no anything. Straight character development. I will at times intereject events that will change the scape of the rp. I will contact the players who will be involved and have them work it in with me. Let's say that sora fails a test and gets grounded. I will contact Sora and have him explain this to his friend's and then we have to communicate to him in another way. I will have a three sentence minimum rule on all things except conversations between two people. When you are having a conversation, it is ok to just have single sentences, though I encourage to write more, such as the characters emotions, how they move, etcetera. I'm encouraging a lot of wording, and slow development. I don't want there to be twenty pages of posting in one night, but enough text to fill twice that much. Also, I am begging all those who participate to please use proper punctuation and grammar. If I feel that you are not putting forth enough effort in this category, I will pm you, asking you to redit some of your posts, or to drop ou of the rp. I want this to work, but I want it to be good. As such, I will take an active role in its development. If you do not meet the three sentence requirement in a place where I do not feel you had no excuse not to, I will give you a warning. After another few incients, I will warn you again. Third time is me asking you to drop from the rp, and I will write in why it happened. I hope to hear from all of you soon, oh and here is the template: Player (you): Character Desired (character from game, or created one): Interests: Hobbies: Personality: Attire: Build: Post this template here. Here are characters already taken: Kairi - Twilightsown Sora - rufus Riku - Rena88 Braig (Xigbar's Other) - Hexin Amy - Anniexo Ienzo (Zexion's Other) - RPGgamer Ashley (Axel's other) - XxAxelEightxX (yes this character is a boy XD) Umi - Zexion of the Twilight Yuffie - ~*princess-cgirlofkh*~ Characters I'd like to have: Selphie (would be Kairi's good friend ^^) Tidus and or Wakka (These two seem to go hand in hand. The two people who play them should also be good friends.) Yuffie (I think having a spunky teen around would liven things up a bit.) Aside from that go crazy. I would love to see some created characters. I consider the Org. XIII others to be created, because you are establishing a new personality for them. Just remember, they are not going to be exactly like there nobody. Look to Sora and Roxas for an example. Also, a picture of your character would be nice. And remember the rule on the Org. members! Laters!
Author's Note: I've been meaning to post this story for quite a few days now, but I just hadn't managed to get around to it until today. This story is of a darker nature, so I give fair warning that descriptiveness is used, and don't read if you're in a good mood. This is in my opinion the single best fanfic I have written, though maybe not my favorite. I have a few others that compete with it for my favorite spot, but I know that this one is my best. I really hope you enjoy this story, and know I do not own Kingdom Hearts, Disney does, Square got raped in that department Also as one last note, I wrote this before KH2 came out, so no Org, no Roxas, no Namine ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary: [True love is meant to last always, but no one ever said you had to wait forever...] Kairi has been waiting for Sora for two years, but Riku has already come back, and thinks the time may be right to tell Kairi his true feelings... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Sora…” Kairi mumbled softly into the ear of the man that now rested in her arms. Tears were running down her face as she ran her fingers through his brown locks, holding him tightly to her. She repeated the same words over and over again. “Sora, my Sora…” She stared down at his plastered on half smile. The tears came even harder. He was here in her arms. Things had been so hard without him. As she sat with the man of her dreams in her arms, memories of the past week flooded back to her. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “How’s dinner Riku?” Kairi stared across the table at the silver-haired man as he ate. He looked up at her and smiled weekly, then went back to his food. Riku had been coming over for dinner a lot lately, mostly because he had no food of his own. He had been laid off of his job and had yet to find a new one. Kairi didn’t mind his company though, so she was always happy to cook for him. He hadn’t talked much as of late though. The last few times he’d been over he had been silent. Kairi was starting to grow tired of his silence. Riku often had great stories that would help take her mind off of Sora. It was almost like a drug that kept her going. She needed something to stop that want. Before Riku had come back, Kairi had found other ways to cope. She had tried many things, but had settled on cutting. She cut to feel numb for a moment, forcing all of the pain she felt to go away, if but for a moment. Riku filled this same gap. He gave her that same numb feeling, as if nothing mattered but the here and now, and made her feel in control. She had been able to stop since he had come around. The cuts on her arms were finally fading, and she had worn a short sleeve shirt for the first time in months. She still couldn’t wear shorts, but she was getting closer. Just the fact that she could wear a short sleeve shirt once more and feel the wind upon her skin once more was enough for her though. Why was he so silent? She had a sudden urge to excuse myself from the table, go into the bathroom, and find the knife she had stashed under the sink…No, I won’t let it happen again. She fought the urge down, then set about studying her guest once more. He seemed as though he was in intense thought about something. He even looked slightly troubled by whatever it was. “Riku, is something wrong?” This time Riku brought his eyes up to meet Kairi’s. He left his gaze transfixed there for what seemed an eternity to her. His eyes felt so cold, but something warm still seemed to be there. Kairi could still feel a small spark, patiently waiting for a soft breath to ignite it into a flame. “Kairi…I need to tell you something, but I don’t know how to say it, or even if I should.” He stared longingly into Kairi’s eyes, blue and purple locked together. Kairi was the first one to break this stare. She dropped her eyes to her hands, a usual act she performed when she was feeling uncomfortable. Kairi took a quick glance at Riku again, noticing that he had also adverted his gaze. “Riku, what did you want to say?” Riku returned his eyes to the auburn-haired girl, finding her staring back at him. She looked more collected, and had put on her trademark smile. He relaxed slightly at this sight, and finally found the courage to say what had been on his mind for countless years. “Kairi, I love you. I’ve wanted to tell you all these years, but I was too afraid. The only reason I even came back to this God forsaken island was for you. I want nothing more than to be by your side always.” Riku grew quiet once more as Kairi’s warm smile faded to a shocked stare. She looked directly at him, mouth slightly ajar, refusing to believe what she had just heard. She was still waiting for Sora. Riku was a friend, to that she held no doubt, but she had never even begun to think of him in that way. She knew her heart belonged to one man, so how could she possibly love him back? “Riku, I…I can’t…I’m still…still waiting for Sora…” The small warmth left behind Riku’s eyes now vanished as he stared at her. Instead of the gentle breadth he had been looking for, he had received a storm, quickly snuffing out his remaining hopes. Shifting his gaze, Riku slowly rose from the table, and made his way to the door. He paused before leaving, muttering just loud enough that Kairi could hear him. “Goodbye then, Kairi.” He opened the door, quickly slamming it hut behind him. The force of it all caused the nearby table to shake, an angel decoration on it moving painfully close to the edge. She rose from her seat, and pushed the angel farther back so that it rested far enough away that it wouldn’t fall if the door was slammed again. As she moved it back, tears began to come unbidden to her eyes. She couldn’t find the strength to move her hand, and left it there as the tears came even harder. The first fell down her cheek, then the next rolled off her nose, finally culminating in a torrent of tears to come that Kairi had been holding back for so long. “Sora, where are you?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It had been several days since the incident with Riku, and Kairi had yet to hear from him. Usually Riku was very persistent on calling Kairi, wanting to spend as much time with her as possible, and even though she could understand why he would not wish to speak to her right now, she had a very ominous feeling towards the whole thing, as though something was out of place. The fact that no one around the town had seen him either didn’t help her suspicions. Kairi rolled onto her stomach so she could see her bedside clock. It blinked 12:03. Kairi forced her self out of bed, grumbling angrily about how the power must have gone out while she was asleep. She flicked on the lamp near her dresser then found her watch. Resetting her clock to 6:37, Kairi once again moaned about how she would have to skip breakfast this morning. Tossing her watch onto her bed, she walked towards her bathroom and turned her shower on. She walked back out of her room, heading for her closet, then stopped and made for her phone instead. She walked over and sat down on her bedside, dialing Riku’s number as she did so. Ring…Ring…Ring…Ring…Ring… After five rings Riku’s answering machine picked up. “Don’t bother leaving a message. No one will get it now anyway.” Kairi hung up the phone, deeply disturbed by this change of events. Riku had never done anything like this. Certainly he wasn’t the most social person, but he did always make an effort if someone took the effort to talk to him. She hopped off the bed, then began to take off her clothes so she could take her shower. She hurried through her shower, throwing on the first clothes she could find as soon as she got out. She grabbed a short sleeve shirt and a skirt, fresh blood showing from the shower she had just taken and her razor blade she had used to calm herself some. She grabbed her keys and purse from off her dresser, then headed down stairs, one thing crossing her mind: Riku. Slamming the door behind her, she vaguely thought about her angel on the table, and how she would most likely have to readjust it once she got home.. Once she was outside she jumped in her car as quickly as possible, suddenly thinking about the wounds on her legs. It had taken her awhile to get her neighbors to stop thinking she was crazy after the events of Kingdom Hearts, but she had done it. Apparently she was the only one who remembered anything, the only person whose heart had been strong enough to survive aside from Riku and Sora. No one remembered anything, and so everyone thought she was crazy when she had talked about it. She started her engine, then slowly backed out of the driveway, praying no one had seen her exposed legs. She took off down the street towards Riku’s home, her mind refocusing on him. “214, 216, 218, ok, that’s it.” Kairi didn’t really know why, but she had always counted the numbers on the houses on her way to Riku’s. Perhaps it was because all the houses looked so similar, but she did not do it on her way to anyone else’s home. Then again though, she didn’t go to anyone’s houses all that often as it was. As Kairi entered the driveway, a sense of foreboding swept over her. She knew now more than ever that something was wrong. It almost seemed as something was trying to keep her from going into that house. She swallowed hard, then checked to see if anyone was around. Seeing no one around, she quickly made for the door. Grabbing the doorknob, a chill ran down her spine. She twisted it, and slowly opened the door. The first thing that she realized was the grotesque smell. It was as though someone had left an animal carcass out in the sun for weeks. The smell caused Kairi’s eyes to tear. She was thankful now she hadn’t had breakfast, because otherwise she would have just seen it again. Pulling the top of her t-shirt over her nose, she continued in. The entire house was dark, but she could faintly hear the sound of running water coming from upstairs. A steady drip of water was also coming from the kitchen area. As Kairi moved forward, she bumped into something hanging from the ceiling. As her eyes adjusted to the dark, she realized it was a noose. Kairi jumped back in shock and felt the light switch ram her in the small of her back. Kairi’s fingers fumbled over the switch, finally illuminating the room. She stared in horror at the scene laid out before her. The furniture had been tossed around the room, some smashed into pieces from contact with the walls. Sparks flew from an outlet that had been ripped from the wall. On a table lay a bloody knife, crusted from age. The most disturbing thing she saw was lying next to the table. Riku lay in a crumpled heap, covered in his own blood. His face and arms were covered in cuts, and a gun was held in his right hand, his left hand turned into a fist, both black from electrical burns. There was a large bullet hole near the top of his head, again the blood on it dark and crusty. The blood had run down his face, some going into his eyes, still staring blankly out at the world. His mouth hung open, and a pool of blood had settled on his tongue. Kairi took a slow step toward him, barely noticing the unbearable stench. As she studied his lifeless eyes thousands of thoughts raced through her mind. It was hard to pin any down, but some managed to creep toward the front of her mind. Did I cause this? Why you Riku? Where’s Sora? The last one perplexed her. Even at a time like this she could not stop thinking about him. It was this thought process that had gotten Riku killed. Because she held on to an impossible dream, she had killed one of her friends. She might as well have pulled the trigger herself. Kairi noticed a white object was clenched in Riku’s left hand. She reached down to grab it and realized it was a note. She pulled it out, but hesitated before opening it. What can this letter do but make me feel even worse? She tucked it into her pocket, and turned to head for the door. As she drew closer to it, something caused her to stop. Finally the shock was wearing off and the realization that Riku was gone and never coming back hit her. It’s all my fault… She fell to her knees and began to let the tears come, not wishing to fight them back right now. She turned once again to face Riku, the sight of his dead eyes causing her to cry even harder. The words I killed him repeating over and over in her head like a broken record player. She started to crawl over to him, her eyes now focusing on the gun in his hand. If someone like Riku can kill himself, then by what right am I still alive? Finally reaching him, she pulled the gun from his hands, and drew herself close to him. The coldness of his body reflecting how she felt inside. “I’m so sorry, Riku. I’ll be coming soon…” Kairi closed her eyes and raised the weapon up to her temple. She felt her hand tremble as her finger lightly rubbed the trigger. She pressed it harder against her head, reassuring herself that this was what she deserved. She opened her eyes one last time to look on Riku once more, but instead saw a broken mirror not to far away. “Sora…” Kairi stood up quickly and spun around to face the one she had been waiting for. He was dressed in a black outfit now, and seemed much older not only in appearance but also just by the way he held himself. He had a gruff beard, and his eyes reflected all the horrors he had seen. There was no warmth in his eyes, he too had lost the small spark that had kept him going. “Kairi? What did you…Why did you…” Sora stammered over question after question, his eyes not leaving the blood that now rested on Kairi as well as Riku. He turned away, tears forming in the corners of his eyes. He wiped them away, and kept the rest from coming. He uttered one more word, then began walking toward the door. “Goodbye…” Kairi stared as Sora made his way to the door. This wasn’t how it was supposed to be! Sora was supposed to come back, and he and Kairi be happy forever. Why had he taken so long? If he’d only shown up a few days sooner, Riku would be alive, and they could have lived happily ever after, just like in the movies. Kairi’s perfect dream was falling apart. “Sora, Stop!” All of Kairi’s suppressed emotions started to rise to the surface, all of them showing as anger and resentment. This was all Sora’s fault, not hers. The man she had loved had turned out to be a murderer. She had waited for two long years, just to be left alone again. As Sora turned around to face her, she raised the gun she had taken from Riku up to face him. Sora looked at her, no longer seeing the crying girl that had been there before, but a vicious killer who was focused only on him. “Why are you leaving? This is all your fault! I waited for you, just like I promised. I put myself through hell for you, night and day praying for you to come back so I would no longer suffer. You promised you’d come back, so I waited. For two years I waited! Even Riku made it back before you. He waited too. He’s not lying there because of me, he is lying there because you killed him!” What do you mean I killed him?! I haven’t seen either of you since that day…” “That’s exactly what I mean.” Kairi cut into his speech. She steadied her hand and began circling around him, cutting off his escape route. “You left us here…left me here all alone. Do you think you are the only person who cared about me?! You are a blind fool, Sora!” Kairi aimed her weapon straight at Sora’s heart, the very thing that bound them together. “Kairi, stop! Do you really want this to be how our story ends?” “Yes…” Kairi pulled the trigger, the bullet flying directly into Sora’s chest. The feeling of anger left her as she saw Sora begin to fall to the floor. “NO!!!” Kairi ran over and caught him, dropping the weapon as she did so. She fell to her knees, the boy of her dreams in her arms. She turned him over so that she could see his face, finding him with his usual half smile plastered on his face. “Well, I guess this is how the story ends for me. I’m glad I was able to do this one last thing for you…” He spat up a small amount of blood, then looked up into her eyes, the sparkle she had once seen returned to his own eyes. Kairi pulled the man closer to herself, running her hands through his brown lochs. Sora’s blood ran down her legs, mingling with that of hers and Riku’s. The warmth sent an odd comfort rushing through her. “Sora…My Sora…” The tears came hard now, harder than anytime before. She placed her hand over his heart, staring down at his beautiful smile, his enchanting eyes. These were what she had longed for. These things that he had always reserved only for her to see. She leaned down and kissed his lips, again finding the warmth strangely satisfying. She wrapped her arms around him, and he used his last strength to do the same. His body then went limp, but Kairi did not let go. A loud crash came from the kitchen, followed by the sound of rushing water. Kairi did not move from her spot in the arms of the man whose spark had been restored, even as another spark took her life as well. ~fin~ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author’s note: Well, did you understand the ending? First off , try to figure it out for yourself. Take a moment to guess. Scroll down once you think you have the answer. Now that you have taken a guess, here is the answer: Remember all the details of the room as Kairi walked into Riku’s house, all the separate ways he had tried to kill himself. Now think of the ones I pointed out, and said more than one thing about. Still don’t know? Well what happened was that Riku had turned on his bathtub upstairs, his initial thinking to drown himself. He decided against this though, but still bent on taking his own life, he did not shut off the water. He also pulled out an electrical outlet, hence the burn marks on his hands. The water upstairs finally after days of weighing down the floor caused it to break, and when the water touched the short circuiting power outlet, it then sent an electrical shock through Kairi that killed her as well. ------------------------------------------------------ Here is where you can find more of my work: Twilightsown's Fanfiction Home Page
I keep getting asked to make food in all my threads, so I;m gonna make my own cooking store! Post any requet and I'll make it for you!
This is the single most random amv I've seen on youtube yet, and it is a KH one, so I figured I had to share it. Everbody Wants to be a Cat If you've ever seen the Aristocats, then you'll know the song (wouldn't hat be a random KH world? *ponders...*)
Question, who out there is a band geek (such as I was...sadly I don't play anymore now that I'm in college...) and what do ya'll play? I'm a brass extraodinaire. I played Trumpet Baritone and Tuba, so basically all ends of the spectrum in brass :D
I know that some of you on here probably like this site, but here is full proof why it is evil. MY girlfriend just had her identiy stolen and someone who we don;t know for sure (though we have a good idea) Posted her pictures and a bunch of stupid stuff on a fake site. I now have lost what little faith I had in this thing. MY myspace is now being removed. Sorry to all the supporters out there, but you might wanna cancel yours out as well before something equally crappy happens to all of you. *Shakes in frustration.*
This is out of nothing more than complete and utter curiosity, as I am a Magic: The Gathering player. Is there anyone else on the site that plays this card game? If so, what are you playing right now? Standard Extended, whatever you are playing, let it be heard (If anyone here even knows what the hell I'm talking about. :D
Alright, I've had this idea bouncing around in my head for awhile, and I decided to give it a shot. This thread goes out to all the fanficers out there. Essentially, I'll post the first part of a story, then whoever posts next posts another part, minimum of two paragraphs. Once the story comes to an end I'll take what has all been written and put it all into word, then post an attachment here, or if I can't here, I'll put it somewhere else and then tell you all where it is. Here are some rules: A: A Person who starts a story posts a minimum of three paragraphs (though more is welcome) B: A Person who starts a new story must put a summary of a general idea of where to take the story is going, whether its supposed to be a happy or sad end, and a character list. C: No Yaoi or Yuri. This is just a rule of my own. If someone wants to write a yaoi, start another thread. I just ask that it not be here. D: The story doesn't have to be Kingdom Hearts, but don't be surprised if people can't continue your story if you post something about a place they don't know. Original stories are welcome as well, just make sure you specify that so people don't think its a KH fic. E: Two paragraph post minimum. This is to keep things from dying out. F: PLEASE use proper english. It'll make it much easier on me when I go to edit the story at the end. G: Other than that, try to stick true to the person's idea. By agreeing to this, they are submitting their work to your opinion, but don't go doing something that may offend them. Other than that, have fun. Hopefully people will get a kick out of this. If people don't like a rule, pm me, and I may consider changing it, though I won't budge on the Yaoi/Yuri part. Well, here is the story I'm going to start us off with. Summary: A normal character, Skitte, is brought to the centerfold for the first time. A loner from Twilight Town, he has always longed to join Seifer's Gang. Finall gaining enough courage to attempt asking, he confronts Seifer, only to be told to brave the empty mansion on the edge of town. Characters: Main: Skitte, Namine Others: Seifer, Fui, Rai, Vivi I thought this story up to have a sad ending. Skitte does go the mansion. He meets Namine, but on his way out he is attacked by a nobody and killed. The town never hears from him again, and Seifer and his gang cover the whole thing up. Dearly Beloved~Dearly Beloved… Those who gather together in memory of one who is lost is often referred to as such. Those whose souls seek respite from the growing pain which is harbored in their heart, body, and soul. The loss of one truly great gathers many of those who wish to be called Dearly Beloved. Some truly regret this loss, others seek only recognition of those who are their, still others are forced there. What then are those who are to be called Dearly Beloved. Many lives come and go, more in my lifetime than I would have ever liked to have seen be lost. Those both great, good, and those easily forgotten. The pain of loss is something that eats away at the very essence of a person. It sits like a plague in the heart of the one most hurt, and takes away all meaning of happiness or joy. It rots you from the inside out, darkness seeking to destroy those so readily available to its lure.. How then can one cope with being one of those who are the Dearly Beloved?~ Skitte was average height, average weight, brown hair, and brown eyed. He was completely forgettable in every way, even his demeanor. No one paid attention to him ever since he could remember. That’s why he wasn’t surprised when he was asked who he was when he approached Seifer at the sandlot. “What business you got with da boss?†Rai asked as he approached the small group hanging around near the poster for the upcoming Struggle event. “I was…I was…†“Out with it.†Seifer spat as he turned to face the newcomer. “Well, Seifer, sir. I was wondering…if maybe I could join your gang?†A small grunt from Fui signified the feeling all the members seemed to portray to the young boy. He cowered before the group, but held his ground. He was tired of being a nobody. He’d been that his whole life. He had decided over the last few sleeples nights that he might be able to gain some form of recognition if he joined with Seifer. Good or bad, attention was attention. And he wanted it desperately. “Sorry,†Seifer paused in his statement and looked down his nose at the child, implying for the kid give his name. “Skitte, sir. My names Skitte.†“Sorry, Skitte, but we’re not realy looking for any new members at the moment. Vivi over there just joined up with us not that long ago, and we really don’t need anybody else to take care of at the moment.†“Oh…†the boy said defeated. As he looked down at his feet, Seifer motioned for the rest of his gang to follow him and began to head toward the exit of the sandlot leading to the back alley. Something in the boys gut told him to react before he could think, and before he knew it, he called back out to Seifer. “Are you sure their isn’t anything I can do to prove that I could be in the gang? I’m tougher than I look. I’ll even fight you if I have to.†That was smart… Skitte thought as Seifer stopped dead in his tracks and whirled around at the kid. “You’ll fight me? Hardly.†Seifer scoffed as he stepped within a hair’s length of the boys face. Faces nearly touching, Seifer shoved the boy backwards, who managed to keep his balance and turn back to face the gang leader, a defiant look on his face. “Yeah, I’ll fight you. If that’s what it takes.†“Destroy him.†Fui said, the same silent expression that she always wore displayed on her face. “Yeah, boss. Bash his brains in!†Rai added, throwing his fist into the air. Vivi stood silent, but appeared to be looking on with interest. Seifer stood silent for a minute and looked the kid over. Nothing special about him, so no reason to worry. But there had to be a better way to exploit this… “I’ve got it.†Seifer sai smiling. “I know exactly what you can do, and it won’t involve fighting anybody.†Skitte perked up at the news that he wasn’t going to have to face the toughest kid in all of Twilight Town, and stood slightly more relaxed as Seifer began to pace, his left hand on his chin and right held out before him. “If you can break into the old mansion and bring something back from the room where the dead girl is supposed to be, you’ll be in.†Skitte’s jaw wasn’t the only one’s to drop. Rai stood agape as well, and Vivi seemed to have jumped back in shock. No one had ever been able to come out of the house alive, or so the story went.
OK, I saw that no one had posted a thread for this yet, and it is by far one of my favorite animes. It is hilarious, if not a bit perverted (warning to the conservative types, you will NOT like this anime). Basic premise: An angel from the future comes back to kill a boy who is supposed to figure out the key to immortal life, but instead likes him and decides to protect him from other angels, even though she kils him an average of eery 5-10 minutes in the episodes. Oh yeah, and the way he created immortal life? Made al girls stop aging at twelve in an attempt to create a pedophiles world. Again, not for the light hearted, but it is damn funny. It is seriously one of my absolute favorite animes. Go to youtube and watch the eps, you'll be glad you did (unless you've already seen it, in which case, what was your take on it?)
Well, I found this thread, so I decided, what the heck, I'll see if people like my AMV's. The one I decided to post is my newest one, and it is the one that I haveput the most effort into. I will give a warning, it is ten minutes long. Essentially, I retold the story of Kingdom Hearts 1 in ten minutes. But telling you won't solve anything. Here is the link. Kingdom of Suburbia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEBaZ2BXIZM The song is Green Day's Jesus of Suburbia. I hope you enjoy it. If you want to see something that isn't ten minutes long, I have a youtube account with all of my other vids, so just go to my main page. Well, I'll shut up now, let me know what you think!
