Don't bump this, K_K! It's a punishment to myself.

Ketso brought his blade down, the familiar 'swish' sound sweeping through the air. In a split second, his blow would land, killing the figure sitting with his back towards Ketso. Suddenly, Ketso saw the blonde hair. He quickly averted his keyblade's path, the blade whistling an inch away from Kaze's ear.
"HEY! Are you trying to kill me?!" Kaze yelled, spinning around.
"Well, I was before. But not now. Why the heck are you here? I'm trying to kill Sean!"
"You know Sean?" Kaze asked, bewildered (A/N: FUN WORD! Be Wil Dered!). Ketso looked at the floor, sheepishly.
"Not personally. I mean, I thought I'd just find him. Like I find you guys!"
Kaze looked doubtful. He snapped his fingers, brightening. "I'll lead you to him!"
"How will you do that? This place is MY heart, not yours." Ketso noticed that the space around them was white, not dark like in that fake room.
"Well, how do you find us every time?" Kaze asked, as if he were explaining it to a two year old.
Ketso glared. "I just say your name and I get here with you guys."
Kaze looked around. "Oh. So... This is your heart? Kinda empty..."
"You wanna start something pretty boy?!" Ketso said, brandishing his two blades.
"Do you EVER wanna get to Sean?" Kaze asked, with a hint of exasperation in his otherwise nonchalant face. Ketso scowled, but he nodded.
"So... I just say... Sean?" Kaze asked, confused. Then, a flash of even paler white appeared in front of the two, and they were facing Sean. The boy smirked.
"So, is this Ketso?" The boy nodded towards Ketso. "The little twerp who thinks Myra likes him?"
"STUFF MUFFINS!" Ketso said, his blades appearing in his hands. He threw them, using "Double Strike Raide". He was surprised as the flew through Sean, clanging onto the floor and sliding away. They hadn't done any damage. Ketso ran, charging at Sean. He smashed his fist into the rivaling boy's face, but it slid right through. Sean's smirk widened to a grin. Ketso stood back, angrily. Kaze sneered at Sean.
"This is hardly your fight, boy!" Sean said, pushing Ketso away. Ketso stepped back. Sean could hit him, but he couldn't hit Sean?
"You're not even a factor in this fight, Ketso. You forfeited her to Kaze, and HE must beat me if he wants to keep her." Sean said, hands behind his head. Kaze smirked, always cool.
"You act like she's an object. But objects can be stolen. Our love can never be crushed!" Kaze said, suddenly leaping at Sean. Their blades locked, blood splashed, but Ketso wasn't concentrating on that.
He was staring at his mildly transperant hands. He was watching the blood fly through them as if it never touched him. He was thinking about what Sean had said. Ketso looked up at the two. Kaze was easily overpowering Sean, but that wasn't the point.
Ketso was being lost. Forgotten. He couldn't stand it. Everything he loved was ripped away from him. Was it even worth it to continue fighting?
"Ketso, go!" Kaze said, suddenly as Sean locked blades with him. Kaze shuddered a bit, but he turned his neck a bit to smile at Ketso. "The sooner you get back to the afterlife, the sooner you can get back to your real one!"
Ketso stood there for a minute, shocked. He blinked and nodded. He couldn't shake the feeling that he should give up, but Kaze believed in him. He hoped everyone else did. With that strength, he could go on. He suddenly appeared back by Amme.
"How did it go?" She asked, frowning.
"What's it to you?" He said coldly. "Some guardian you are. I've gone through so much pain. I don't need you. You've never helped me." He started to walk away. Suddenly, a hand clapped onto his shoulder. The hand tightened it's grip.
"Yes," Amme said, angrily. "You have gone through a lot of pain. But I can put you through a lot more if you'd like."
White hot pain seared through Ketso's body, starting at his shoulder. He doubled over and nodded. Amme released her grip, stepping back.
"Good. Now, onto the next room. I'll be watching," Amme said, as she took a few more steps backwards and disappeared. Ketso squinted to see her, but she was gone.
"Curse that girl and her wonderful denim-trench coat!" He said, jokingly to himself. He shook his head and was suddenly in the mansion. Van appeared, looking healthy.
"You okay, Buddy?" Ketso rolled his eyes. "That little girl hurt you pretty bad, huh?"
Van glared, the air around him boiling.
"Aw, take off that angry face! It could curdle milk!" Ketso said, trying not to laugh. Van punched Ketso in the head, flinging him into the next room.
"Prepare to meet your doomed. Beware the room of Time!" Van said, dramatically.
"Beware, prepare, my hair, I care," Ketso muttered. He looked around.
And then he saw the obstacle course. "Toto, I don't think we're in Gym Class anymore!" He said, eyes wide.
