Kingdom Stars

  I woke up to see a young girl lying on my chest holding my hand and kissing me tongue and all. I realize it’s not my girlfriend but a girl that looked Tony’s age. I looked beside me and Shana is still next to me just getting up. She turned to me then to the girl on my chest.

   Shana’s face went from oblivious, confused, sad, then anger in five seconds. I can tell what she’s thinking. "I’m going to rip her apart, then kill Naka."

The girl’s eyes were closed but then shot open to reveal a set of unusual but beautiful purple eye’s completing that white angelic face, with straight blonde hair.

  Being completely surprised she quickly sat up. Oh man, this is not good; the girl is wearing nothing but panties.

  Well this sucks I’m shirtless, my sleep boner still going on, in a bed with two girls one that looks under age and naked the other ready to cause World War Three!

  Fueled with anger Shana swung her leg in a sweeping kick towards the girl, sensing the danger she dodge rolled out of the bed. I flopped out following suit while narrowly avoiding death, as Shana’s fist broke a hole in the spot where I laid.

  “Hey, calm down, this is just a big misunderstanding.”

   “A MISUNDERSTANDING!?! There was a naked girl on your bare chest kissing and holding your hand!”

Jeez come on it’s not like I planned this! Damn.

  I tried to get closer and calm her down but she threw a punch then another sweeping kick, I ducked the punch and blocked the kick staggering due to the surprising force behind it.

The last thing I remember was the other girls purple eye’s looking at with concern before Shana’s fist crashed into my head. Arthor came a few seconds later seeing a shirtless me passed out on the floor. Shana told him to take me back to my room and get me dressed.

  After he left Shana confronted the girl with suppressed anger “Who are you?” She stared at her for a bit before answering with a voice so adorable it completed her.

“My name is Naroska Shibix.” She answered with fear; Shana saw it and took a more motherly approach.

  “My name is Shana mea Zimmerman. How did you get in here?”

  Naroska shied her face. “I have a key, I-It’s my room, Arthor gave me it l-last night.”

   “So you’re my roommate damn it Arthor why didn't you find her sooner… wait why didn't you sleep in the other bed?”

Naroska had an embarrassed expression on her face. “I didn't want to sleep alone. I want to hold some one, my parents and brother died in a house fire. For a week I sat at the steps of what used to be my house, until Arthor came and handed the certificate to me asking if I would like to enroll.”

“And so you did… well you’re with me now, come let’s get you dressed.”

  At the cafeteria I was fresh and clean with nice clothes and a bump on my head. I told Tony and Louise what happened this morning, Louise busted out laughing and Tony asked if my head was ok. “I’m fine Tony… will you stop laughing!”

  He stopped but snickered every now and then. “Sorry bro but it’s just too funny.” I roll my eyes and looked at the entrance to see Shana and the little blonde girl with her.

“Glad she didn't kill her.” I was wearing those wrap around head bandages that covered the right half of my face.

  “Nice mask. Can I wear it?” I heard Shana said walking up.

“Yea sure, but not for too long, I have a massive bump on my head.”

She grinned. “Sorry.”

  “Eh it’s ok. Sorry that there was a naked chick on me, that usually doesn't happen.”

“Usually? So it’s happened before?”

“NO! IT WAS A JOKE!!!”

She giggled then taped me on the head. “OW!”

“You big baby.”

“Whatever. So my I have the name of the lady that got me in that threesome.”

Louise looked up from his meal. “Dude that was dirty.”

  “Oh shut up Louise.”

The girl avoided my eyes. “My name is Naroska Shibix.”

“Naroska hmm. Ok mind if I call you Naro.”

She shook her head. “No I don’t mind.”

“Alright, I’m Naka this is Louise, Tony, Shade, and you've already met wonder woman.” Louise couldn't hold it any longer and started laughing again.

  “Come on Louise Naka almost died.” Tony said, about to laugh himself.

“Glad to see that you guys love me so much.”

  We sat and ate the rest of our food waiting for Arthor to come and get us. Naro for some reason wouldn't stop staring at me, those purple eyes piercing my soul.

“What’s wrong Naro?”

She shook her head again. “Nothing…”

We sat there for another few minutes before Arthor came and told us it was time for our weapons. We got there rather late, so the line was a little smaller. Twenty minutes passed until it was our turn; there was a man at a terminal with a small glowing light behind him. He looked at us. “Who’s first?”

Louise stepped up. “I’ll go, I guess.”

“Name and birth?”

“Louise, born March thirteenth nineteen ninety-seven.”

“Step on through.”

Louise took careful steps in to the light which expanded to fit his size then went back to being small. “Next.”

   Tony came up.

“Name and birth.”

“Tony, born September tenth two-thousand and one.”

“Step on through.”

Tony jumped in to the light like it happened every day (show off).

“Next.”

I finally came up.

“Name and birth.”

“Nakadesu, born April twenty-eighth nineteen ninety-seven.”

“Go ahead.”

I told Shana to make sure Shade and Naro gets through. Inside the light was strange, you where floating in what looked like hyperspace, then you hear a voice.

“Oh well then I haven’t seen one of you in four thousand years, amazing how long it’s been. Nakadesu Hiromi I will bestow the soul blade upon you, you are the new wielder of light."

   Next thing I knew I was floating two feet above the floor, stopped and fell on my ass. I looked at my hands surprised to see gray finger-less gloves with a symbol that looks like an S and W squished together. Tony and Louise were investigating their new accessories with wild eyes. Tony had on two crystal wrist bands one red the other blue. Louise had a necklace that had silver crown and a sword through it.

“Bro that was awesome. Check out these cool bracelets.”

“Hmm I wonder if this would work.” Louise said holding out his hand. I look at him curiously.

  “What are you doing?”

He sighed at me slightly irritated. “What does it look like, I’m summoning my weapon you should know that it’s basically common sense.”

“How is that common sense… oh wait right we’re gamer’s.” I gazed at Louise’s hand feeling that it started to grow in heat. In the center of his palm was a ball of fire, which started to stretch and mold in to a cartoonish red hilted broadsword with a symbol of a fire ball with angel wings.

  “Niiice.” Louise chuckled swinging the sword experimentally.

“Wow how did you do that?” Tony said wide eyed eager to see what he got.

“Just concentrate the energy in your body into your hand then release.”

“Oh your soooo pro.” I said rolling my eyes.

“Meh I’m still sexy.”

“What?... whatever.”

Tony put out his hand just like Louise and centered his energy in to it. A few seconds have passed with only slight glowing.

“AARRRGGHH!!! Hmph I don’t think I have one.”

“If a weapon didn't work maybe magic? Tony put the energy into the tip of your finger then imagine it lighting up like a torch.”

   He put my word in to action, his finger changing to a color of molten red. A few minutes have passed when Shade and Naro passed through. Gasping at the color and heat coming from the boy, small sparks could be seen generating around the finger until it burst into a green golf ball sized flame.

“That is awesome!” Shade said looking at his brother with admiration.

“Uhh Tony put out your hand.” I said looking at it with concern.

“I-I CAN’T WHAT DO I DO?!!” “Relax and stop the flow of energy.”

He calmed down, the fire slowly shrinking into nothing.

   “A-are you alright Tony?” Naro ask timidly.

“Yea I’ll live… where’s Shana?”

“I’m right here.” Shana looked like she saw a battle of a life time.

“What happened? What took so long?”

“The dude and Arthor had a fight about how many wins they had on each other, so they decided to settle the score then.

” “Sounds tough… so uh who won?” then a male’s voice came from behind.

“Well who do you think? Do you really see me as a weak person? I’m hurt.” Arthor put on a sad puppy dog face. Which made the girls daww.

   “Alright chill it lady killer.”

“I’m only kidding. Ok now I see you all have your accessories, show me what you have and I’ll tell you what it does; so Tony?”

“I got these bracelets.”

“Ah those are the bands of the magi, the red one is offence, the blue is defense, they also summon a short sword and dagger for more balanced combat.”

“Sweet!!!”

“Ok Louise?”

“I got this trinket.”

“Oooo that’s the Fallen King of the Angel of Flame, it summons his sword, but your also able to do other fire related skills. Shana?”

“Got some nice ass knuckle dusters and studded boots.”

“The Tyrant, it allows you to become super acrobatic, and crazy strong. Shade?”

    “Ring with bat wings!”

“Demons circlet, you can fly and shoot fire balls. Naro?”

“W-w-well I got this book, it has a p-picture of a dragons shadow.”

“Dragons silhouette that book contains almost every dragon magic spell known to humans. Lastly Naka?”

“I got these gray fingerless gloves with a symbol of an S and W moshed together.”

Arthor stared at me for a moment his mouth slightly agape. “Soul-weaver light of its brother the X-blade.”

Louise’s jaw dropped. “The X-blade? Isn't that the, I don’t know, the most powerful weapon in Kingdom Hearts. But that’s just a game.”

   Arthor sighed. “Come around and listen… we live on earth, a place full of imagination, and the universe is almost endless. The universe possesses a special ability to take our thoughts and ideas and transforms them into an actual world, like if you thought of a world full of beef cake cats on steroids it would make it. Like it did just now I made that world. Since Kingdom hearts was a thought and idea it became its own world, same with all the other videogames and T.V shows.”

   My excitement started to fill. “So that light was actually a door to the universe. Wait does this mean I’m a Keyblade master?”

“Not really you’re more of a wielder of light. It also seems that your heart is of pure light which explains why you have Soul-weaver, the bane of shadows.” Tony sharing my excitement asked.

“What about me and Shade?”

Arthor bit his lip. “Tony you would be considered a hybrid between the two, that can be useful but also can prove devastating. Shade on the other hand is fine, but Tony you have powers over light and darkness with that type of power you could end up killing us all.”

   Tony gazed at the floor in question, I put my hand on his shoulder. “Ha screw that noise this is just another way of saying how badass we are, right Tony? I only got light, man you got both, I’m so jelly.”

My brother looked at me smiling, his happiness returning. “Yea your right. Thanks bro.”

Arthor grinned at us then checked his watch. “Well we wasted enough time lets head to the gym.”

  When we got there the place was almost filled, students in every seat.

Arthor turned to us. “I’ll be right back.” He walked up to a microphone. “WELCOME ALL STUDENTS!!! To the freshman tournament. To explain quickly we’re having trouble, we need at least eight winners to help us keep the other worlds safe. Also this is a way to tell if you need help to better yourself in combat, if you don’t want to participate just come to Dave and he’ll check you off.” When he was done he came up to me.

  “You should get Shade to do that, it won’t help you if he gets hurt.”

“Yea you're right… Shade come let’s sign you out it will be safer for you and you’ll get stronger.”

“Ok… Naka?”

“Yea?”

“You and Tony do your best ok?”

“You bet”

Before Arthor took shade to get resigned, he pointed at Naro “You should go talk to her.”

“Sure... Naro are you ok? You don’t have to fight.”

She shook her head “N-no I’m fine I-I can do this.” She looked at me and smiled “Hey Naka c-can I call you big brother?”

At that moment I just melted, I didn't know what to say.

"Where's this coming from?"

She looked at the floor digging her foot "You remind me a lot of my older brother... He died not too long ago..."

I knelt down giving her a hug “Just call me Onii-chan its big brother in Japanese.”

“Onii-chan… ONII-CHAN!!!” She said with happiness and tackled me into a hug. “Thank you! I love Onii-chan!”

I chuckled “I love you to.” Oh god I think I have a sister complex! I picked her up on my shoulders and walked to my friends to wait for the tournament to start.
