2nd page? 2ND PAGE?! I DON'T THINK SO! NEXT CHAP!

Ahem. Presenting... Chapter Six: The Sixth Chapter. Lol.

Ketso woke up being shaken. He was tired of waking up this way, and he decided to be grumpy for the whole day. He then looked at who was shaking him.
"Whad you do tah Piku?" Gerard said, angrily. His sword was strapped to his back. His very long, pointy sword.
"I-uh-"
"What'd you do?!" Gerard said, not giving Ketso time to answer.
"I'm trying to tell you, idiot!" Ketso said, angrily. Yay for grumpiness. Gerard drew his sword.
"Piku's my bud, and she's doing you a HUGE favor. Just cause she's an annoying little rat doesn't mean you can pick on her!"
"I didn't! I was just lookin' through her stuff and she saw me!" Ketso tried to explain. He got up.
"You went through her stuff?! That's a total violation of privacy! If you did that to me, I'd kill you!"
"I'd have to wait in line. You seem to wanna kill ANYONE who looks at your girl or yer little friends!" Ketso retorted (which is a funny word).
Gerard leapt, bringing his sword down and slicing Ketso's cot in half. And the metal frame. And the toys Ketso had stored underneath ("Cuddle-Wuddle Bears, Ketso? Really?!" Gerard said).
Ketso leapt out of the bed as his keyblade appeared in his hand. He jumped, bringing down his blade, but Gerard swung around, locking swords with Ketso. Gerard easily overpowered Ketso ("Why is everyone stronger than me?!"), slashing him in the stomach. Ketso whirled around, slamming his weight into Gerard's back. He brought his blade back to swing again, but Gerard had already backflipped, locking blades again, and slashing Ketso in the face. Ketso jumped back, rubbing his now bloody nose. Gerard sliced into Ketso's shoulder.
"You're way too weak, Keyblade Master!" Gerard laughed. Ketso slammed his blade into Gerard, but he was too quick. Gerard slammed Ketso's head back with the flat of his blade, sending him flying. He then brought his blade back.
Ketso rolled to the right, just in time to avoid Gerard's huge slash. He jabbed Gerard in the stomach, leaving a huge gash, as they were both still in their pajamas. Gerard touched his wound, blood flowing onto his fingers. He glared at Ketso. Gerard spread the red liquid onto his sword, which, to Ketso's horror, created a new blade, right under the first. This new blade looked to be made of a deep red diamond.
"Blood Buster!" Gerard yelled, slashing Ketso three times. Even if he had dodged it, Ketso would've been hit. The sword glowed with a red aura, burning Ketso's skin. The double-bladed sword had left two deep cuts in Ketso's skin. Blood leaked out of the corner of his mouth.
Gerard stood, his blade pointed at Ketso's throat. He brought it back, and-
-Was knocked unconcious. Gerard fell, his blade by his side. Piku was standing in the doorway, her lance outstretched.
"Got him...Cheap shot, though..." Piku muttered, walking around the room. She put a hand on the wall, along a huge crack. "Lucky this dorm isn't on the side of the ship... Would've slashed right through the wing....Brains would've imploded... Repairs'll cost a fortune, though..."
"HELLO?!" Ketso said, coughing up blood. "I'm DYING, here!"
"You deserve more than that!" Piku glared. "Lucky Ger went easy on you."
Ketso gaped. THAT had been going easy on him?!
Piku sighed, angrily. She threw her blade into the air, yelled "Cure", and caught the now glowing lance. She pointed it at Ketso. He feared for his life but was relieved when a blue-green beam soared out, and his wounds were healed.
"Now, I've gotta go. When he wakes up-" She said, kicking an already stirring Gerard lightly. "-Apologize. Then come to the pit. We gotta talk."
With that, Piku left, leaving Ketso and Gerard alone. Ketso sat on a half of the bed for about ten minutes before Gerard woke.
"Darn Piku!" Gerard howled, his eyes still closed. "I woulda finished the job..." His eyes flicked to Ketso.
"YOU!" He started.
"Relax!" Ketso said, holding his hands up. "I wanna apologize."
"Whatever. It won't make a difference." Gerard said, coldly.
"Well, sorry."
"You should be." Gerard said, walking out of the room. Ketso stared after him, disbelieving. He had just apologized to his attacker. That was messed up. He went to see Piku, knowing he couldn't put it off any longer.
"Siddown!" Piku said, angrily when he arrived. Ketso did so, afraid to argue.
"Don't pick on Gerard. He's a better friend than you'll-"
"-What?! You two can't stop fighting! You call each other idiots, you're constantly pulling each other's hair! You've both got bruises from each other! And you two are friends?!" Ketso said, furious. Piku glared harder, jumping out of her seat. She stood up as tall as she could, still only about two and a half feet tall.
"You OBVIOUSLY don't know a thing about either of us!" She said. She sat back down, turning to the controls. Ketso waited silently for more, though he was still fuming. After a long time, Piku spoke.
"Gerard's had a tough life. He's not as happy-go-lucky as you believe. And not nearly as stupid as you think." She squinted, still glaring, at something Ketso couldn't see.
"Yeah, he told me his story! He joins some army, and he met the soon-to-be love of his life, and then-" Ketso started impatiently.
"It's not like that." Piku said.
"So tell me what it's like." Ketso said, angrily.
"No. It's not my story to tell. Listen, we've all got secrets, and things we don't pressure each other about. And the only thing that keeps us going is our friends. Do you know what a friend really is, Ketso?" Piku asked, staring hard at Ketso.
That's when it dawned on him. "Piku... I'm really sorry. I just-"
"Shut the heck up. I hate apologies!" Piku smiled. They sat in silence for a while. Then Piku spoke.
"So when ya gonna tell me about yer missing heart and that awesome keyblade?"
Ketso nearly fell out of his chair in surprise.

Lemon meringue, please! :D



"Get on with it, boy!" Piku said, trying to act mad. Ketso could tell that she was really amused with this.

"I- well.."

"Start at the beginning. Of your life." Piku said.

"I-I'm an orphan." Ketso started, uneasily. He hadn't thought about this in a long time. It made him hurt, but worse, it made him feel angry. "But, I had guardians. I don't remember their faces, really. I know the guy had dark hair like Gerard's, but it was shorter then. I don't even remember anything... Except the goodbye."

Piku put the ship on auto-pilot for a while. "It'll be fine," she said, turning to Ketso.

"One day, I think I was, like, three... My parents-I called them that after my real parents died- flew me over to Destiny Island. I don't know where we lived before. We could've been flying from world-to-world, for all I know. Anyway, they said we were moving. No, they said I was moving. I didn't clue in... I was three, right? So anyway, we go to this HUGE house, I mean HUGE, and I was thinking this was gonna be great. But then, I saw other kids. Other kids coming out of the house. And I didn't see any parents. I saw young people taking care of the kids. But there weren't parents. And then, my guardians got my stuff out of the ship. One suitcase. No more. They said something about how this would protect me, and then they left."

Piku shuddered. "That's-"

"I don't want pity. Especially not from two-foot tall peaches playing knight." Ketso said, falling back into his old, rude self. This was how he avoided pain. He hated it, but it worked. Piku raised an eyebrow, but she waited for him to continue.

"But the other kids, they assumed that those guys that dropped me off were my parents. Which they might as well have been. Up until they left me. So the kids, thinking I was here for a vacation or something, hated me. They mocked me. They told me to go back to my rich folk's home, to stop trying to be an average kid, and to stop acting better than them. I don't know where they got any of those things from. I'd...I'd been through more pain than any of them. But then, then I met Jord. Jord was awesome. Jord was a year older than me, and he was the coolest kid I knew. And he hung out with Kora, who I had a crush on when I was about nine. But I lost those feelings. Apparently, Jord grew them. He started hanging more around Kora than me, when we were about thirteen. I tried not to notice it. I was fooling myself. Then, then when I was fourteen, they were leaving me behind. Well, Jord was. I think Kora felt sorry for me. I'd wish she'd just ignored me. But they led me on, making me think I belonged with them. But then... I saw them sharing a paopu."

Piku blinked. Ketso was bewildered.

"Legend of the paopu? Share one and your destinies are bonded forever? Is this a-ringin' any bells?" Ketso asked.

"That's stupid." Piku said, flatly.

"No it's not! The paopu is sacred! A legend!" Ketso sputtered.

"More like a curse. You make your own destiny. You shouldn't be tied down to anyone. What if the feeling doesn't last? What if it works in the opposite way? Destinies bonded? That's not real descriptive. What if you become each others' worst enemies?"

Ketso's eyes widened, but he couldn't think of anything to say. All of that was true. It'd never happened... But it could... In theory.

"Will you just- Will you just let me finish?!" Hollow said, cursing himself for sounding so stupid. "Well, after they shared the paopu-" Piku snorted; Ketso glared. "-I went to the Secret Place. The Secret Place is-"

"-lemme guess," Piku said, pretending to think. "The secret place is... A SECRET PLACE!"

"Very nice." Ketso said, his voice filled with sarcasm. "Anyway, the secret place is a place where the kids all met to hang out and stuff. They explored and drew stuff on the walls, and they tried to open this weird door that was inside of it. So, I went in, even though the other kids didn't let me in. And I sat and was angry at Kora and Jord. I remember telling myself that I felt more pain there then at any other place. I asked myself if this was the pain you feel when your heart breaks. And someone else told me that was the pain you felt when your heart dies."

"That's stupid, too." Piku said, frowning. "If your heart died, you'd be dead."

"Not my ORGAN heart. My HEART heart. Feelings, emotion." Ketso explained.

"I stand by my statement. You still have a heart."

"No. Listen."

"I'm just sayin'" Piku said, leaning back. Then she let Ketso speak.

"So, all've the sudden, I'm on this weird platform. And some stuff happens, and then this guy appears and plunges his hand into my chest. And pulls out my heart. And it's shriveled and dead. And then, I wake up, kid tries to beat me up, I stop him-"

Piku spit out the soda she was drinking. "YOU? Beat someone up? Yeah, right."

"I have the strength!" Ketso said, angrily. "I just... didn't know it..."

"I'm sorry," Piku said, stifling a laugh. "Please, continue."

"Anyway, I just, turned away from everyone. Became a full-time introvert, I guess. And then, the storm came. So, I went out to get food, and all the sudden, I was sucked into this portal. That's when I was transported to Traverse Town. And then I met the most ANNOYING little Peach-girl-"

"Yeah, I think I know about that part." Piku said, in a sarcastic, 'ha ha, you're so funny, Ketso' look.

"So what's your story?" Ketso started.

"No! Tell me about yer stupid keyblade." Piku said. Ketso hung his head, glumly. He thought he could skip that part.

"I... Well, a voice called to me and said that the Power was inside of me or something. And I put my hand inside of my hollow heart and pulled out the keyblade."

"Show me." Piku demanded.

"What, the keyblade?" Ketso said.

"No, I saw that, bonehead. I meant yer hollow heart."

"Oh... It's right here..." Ketso said, pulling his shirt down a little so that Piku could see the patch of black skin.

"Oh, looks painful." Piku observed.

"It is," Ketso agreed. Piku glowered.

"Baby! Jeez."

"What? You just said-"

"Ferget it!" Piku said, laughing at a sputtering Ketso.

"Well, what's your story, O' great one?" Ketso snapped.

"Not that interesting, really. I come from the same place as Gerard. I-"

"-Wait! I thought you were from Tipa! You said in your notes that Lilties are only from-"

"-Shut up and listen, fool. Jeez. Anyway, my whole life was just hanging out. When I was human, that is. I was with my friends, Kaze, Sora, Myra, Taylor, Krojee, and-"

"-Sora?!"

"SHUT UP! Jeez! Anyway, I meet Rikku one day, and she tried to pinch my cheeks. It was annoying. And then her bum-uva-boyfriend came out, and Rikku started hanging out with us. That was about it, until we took Gerard to find Rikku after a whole buncha relationship stuff. So then, blah blah blah, after the happiness of that adventure, I travel around in the Kucumber- that's my gummi- and I crash in this dumpy little world. I land in the village of Tipa, and I reacted pretty much the same way you did when I first met a Lilty. And then this crazy Yuke comes, Harry's dad, Kumar. And Kumar's all "You need to respect other races" or something like that, and next thing I know, I'm living in some Lilty family, and I AM one. So, I spend some time with that family, and Aunt Joy-the one who was cryin' and stuff- she told me I could find Kumar on top o' this mountain. So, I go there, and I fill up their chalice with Myrrh so that they can live for another year-don't ask- and Kumar tells me I hafta fight him to become human again. Toughest battle of my life, I tell ya. I'm about to deliver the finishing blow, and I'm zapped into Traverse. I get there a few days before Gerard- who I'm guessing got zapped, too- and somehow the Kucumber ends up outside the world. But it was broken. So Cid fixes it up, and then you get there. So I figure, since you've got that nifty blade, I oughta take you with me. And now we're here. I didn't know I'd be dealing with such an annoying brat."

"Oh." Ketso said, staring at the stars. "So you weren't trying to find your home planet, just trying to be a human again."

"Yep. Speaking of my home planet- Holy cow, GERARD, GET IN HERE!" Piku said, excitedly, squinting at a small dot outside. Gerard came, wrapped in about five robes with his hair in a towel. Their were suds on his feet.

"Yeah?" He said, clutching a rubber chocobo.

"Doesn't that look like-"

"HOLY COW! I'M HOME!!!! I'M HOME! AND I GOT BACK ALL BY-" Piku glared at him "-YOURSELF, PIKU! THANKS SO MUCH!" He ran back to the bathroom, and Piku stared at Ketso.

"Well, here's our first stop! Get ready to go, fool!" She said, smacking Ketso in the back of the head happily.

Heh heh, should I do a double chappie today?
