Kairi vs. the Luna Diviner & Useless?



"If you have any ideas, Naminé, now would be a good time to tell me!" Kairi shouted as she fled from Saix's shockwaves.

"I only know as much as you do!" Naminé replied helplessly. "The only time I've seen him fight was when he was against Sora!"

Kairi mentally face-palmed herself. "This is pitiful, you know that? We've beaten almost half of the Organization and ol' frizzy hair here might actually kill us!"

"Don't you think we should stand our ground?" Naminé suggested as Saix went for another round of "Tag and You're Dead."

Kairi let out a laugh of false mirth. "Only if you have a death wish!"

Saix's eyes tracked her movements as she desperately tried to leap over Saix's energy ripples. Without warning, he flung his claymore into Kairi's path. She was barely able to raise her Keyblade in time to deflect the incoming projectile, but the force of the attack knocked her flat on her butt.

As Kairi massaged her posterior, Saix summoned the weapon back to his hand. It took a few seconds before she realized that the Luna Diviner had taken a short break to absorb more power from Kingdom Hearts.

"Why'd he stop chasing me?" Finally, it clicked. "I get it! Going berserk uses up a lot of his energy! All we have to do is tire him out!"

"Then what are we waiting for?" Naminé asked. "Now might be a good time to attack!" Kairi nodded and started for Saix. She had barely taken three steps when Saix's eyes snapped open and turned his predatory stare back onto her, forcing Kairi to a screeching halt. He pounced on his scared prey before she could react.

"Be gone!" As Saix barreled down on her, Kairi instinctively raised the Keyblade to guard the attack. Unfortunately, the combined weight of Saix's momentum, his overall berserk strength, and the power of his claymore forced Kairi's knees to collapse on contact. She gritted her teeth to stop herself from screaming out in pain.

Saix swiped his claymore at Kairi's head, who in turn Dodge Flipped out of the way and broke into a fast hobble. "Fool. I want to see you die fighting," he taunted.

"It's no good," Kairi muttered under her breath. "My knees are totally shot." She raised her Keyblade. "HEAL!" Instantly, she felt all of her aches and pains drain from her body leaving it undamaged, but slightly worse for wear.

"Good thing you rested up," Naminé said, "or you'd be swaying on your feet right about now." Kairi looked back at Saix and was a bit annoyed to see that he had taken the opportunity to close his eyes and face the heart-shaped moon again.

"This is getting us nowhere!" Kairi huffed, clearly frustrated. "Everytime I get close to him, he keeps forcing me back with his Wolverine impressions!"

"If only we could get him to focus more on us than recharging his batteries every few minutes..." Naminé said. Kairi suddenly grinned. It was so simple.

Kairi cupped her hands over her mouth and shouted, "Hey Saix! I heard that your mother was a werewolf!"

"Um, Kairi? What are you doing?" Naminé asked.

"Trust me on this," Kairi replied. Then to Saix, "I also heard your dad was a veterinarian! When they got together every night, he would always diagnose her with rabies!" Saix's eyes snapped open.

"Be quiet, brat," he growled.

"What's it like to have Xemnas as your boyfriend?" Saix's eyes were twitching fiercely. "Whatcha gonna do? You gonna whimper like a widdle puppy dog?"

"You dare mock me, you insolent little...?!" Saix completely forgot about Kingdom Hearts and shouldered his claymore.

"Aw, wid I make the widdle wolfy angwy?" Kairi taunted cutely. "Widdle wolfy need a changy-wangy in his diapey-wipey?"

"SHUT UP!" Saix's composure was obviously slipping.

Kairi decided to put the final nail in the coffin. "Hey Saix!" She pointed to her head. "Got it memorized?"

Saix let out a giant roar of fury. "Do you think we made him mad enough?" Kairi asked rhetorically.

"All shall be lost to you!" Saix snarled, blitzing toward Kairi at superhuman speed.

"Yup," Naminé said with a satisfied tone in her voice, "we officially ticked the guy off."

* * *

"You think Naminé and Kairi are okay?" Roxas asked Sora. "I mean, we've been going around fighting Heartless and Nobodies for two hours now and we still haven't seen any of our friends yet."

Sora crossed his arms and looked up to the sky in thought. His party was able to find a safe area away from their foes and were now in the middle of taking a short rest. "Don't worry. We'd know if something happened to them. You know, with the whole heart connection thing."

"So there you guys are!" a high-pitched voice rang out. Sora turned around and was astonished to see Rikku, who had finally caught up with the group. The Gullwings made a few failed attempts of finding anyone and ultimately decided it would be much faster if they split up. "We've been looking everywhere for you!"

"We?" Sora repeated. "Who's we?"

"Why, Tidus and the others! They sent us to look for you!"

"Who's Tidus?" Pence asked.

"Friend of ours from Destiny Islands," Sora explained.

Before anyone else could say anything, Riku stared at the faerie all business-like. "Sora? Who's this?"

"Oh, that's right. You two haven't met each other." He motioned toward the yellow-clad pixie. "Riku, this is Rikku. And Rikku," Sora turned toward Rikku, "this is Riku."

"Hiyas!" Rikku chirped.

Riku rolled his eyes. "Make one identity joke, Sora, and I swear..." Then to Rikku, "Tell the others and anyone else who can fight to meet us at the old mineshaft."

"Got it!" Rikku squeaked happily. "Later taters!" And with that, she disappeared in a sparkle of stardust.

Riku turned toward Hayner and the others. "You guys should head back to the safe room. It's going to get more dangerous from here on out."

"But Kairi's our friend too!" Hayner argued.

Riku shook his head. "You guys aren't exactly equipped to fight anything right now. Swinging around foam bats is one thing, but swinging a sword is a completely different matter.

"What about us?" Ariel piped in. "Are you saying that me and the Prince are useless too?"

"I didn't say you were useless." Riku rubbed his temples in frustration. "I just think..."

Sora put his hand on Riku's shoulder and gave it a reassuring squeeze. "It's no good telling them to go and hide. They'll be fine."

Riku blinked. "But..."

Sora held up his hand, silencing Riku. "They're a whole lot stronger than you give them credit for, Riku."

Riku smirked. "So you're stealing my lines now, huh?" He turns back to the others. "Sorry, guys. I guess it's been a long day for all of us."

"You still look worried, though," Olette said. "It's because of the Struggle bats, right?" Riku nodded.

Sora scratched his head trying to think of a solution to the problem. After a few seconds, the answer came to him. "Leon, are there any spare weapons these guys could use?"

Leon thought for a moment. Then he smiled. "Now that you mention it..."

* * *

"Get back here, you @#$h!" Saix's entire focus was on one thing only: Kill.

"Oooh, someone's getting all defensive!" Kairi giggled as she did another Dodge Flip away from the blue energy waves emanating from Saix's claymore. "Let me guess, your prom date was a beaver!"

"You sure it's okay to antagonize him like this?" Naminé wondered. "You realize that we're dead if he manages to get even ONE hit?."

Kairi raised an eyebrow. "You think I don't know that? Look at this way, he's got to be tiring out, right?" She glanced over her shoulder to see Saix was still blazing with fury. "What's with the hair?" Kairi taunted, sticking out her tongue and pulling down her bottom eyelid in classic anime style. "Been sitting under a hair dryer too long?"

Saix was so enraged that he wasn't even using human language anymore. Instead his entire vocabulary became a series of snarls and growls.

"Wait a minute! I finally understand now!" Kairi exclaimed slapping her forehead. "That X on your face is used for target practice!" After minutes of going full steam, Saix finally doubled over clutching his chest.

"Let's try this again, shall we?" Kairi charged at Saix and aimed for Saix's "X." "TAKE THIS!" Her Keyblade screamed through the air as she swung it in an overhead arc.

CLANG! Kairi's eyes widened as Saix parried her attack. "Did you really think you could tire me out so easily?"

Saix's claymore caught her by surprise as it slammed into her stomach with so much force that it sent her flying. Kairi heard a dull crack as her body made contact with the ceiling. On her return trip back to earth, Saix was waiting with his weapon in a batter's stance.

THWHAM! Kairi's limbs flopped around like a marionette with its strings clipped as her body crashed into the far wall and fell to the floor in a lifeless heap. She laid there wincing in pain as Saix slowly stalked around her limp form. "Naminé..." Kairi moaned. "It hurts to move..."

"Where's your witty quips now, girl?" he taunted, staring at his prey through hungry eyes. Saix took a few more steps forward as he began to raise his weapon. He was about to deal the finishing blow when he froze in mid-swing. Kairi's body moved automatically as it used the Keyblade to prop itself back up. "What..."

"Right here, wolfie!" Naminé's voice spouted out of Kairi's mouth. Saix couldn't believe his eyes as Naminé tagged in with Kairi. She executed a flawless bicycle kick, blasting Saix's weapon out of his hand. Before he could react, Naminé whirled around and shot a powerful mule kick into Saix's midsection, causing him to double over in pain. She took a quick glance at her sandals. "Cool! They're not melted any more!"

"Hurry! While he's disarmed!" Kairi shouted. Without a moment's hesitation, Naminé flung the Keyblade at the big X as hard as she could.

In pain or not, most of his berserker rage had left him, enabling Saix's thought processing to become clearer. He could hear the Keyblade whizzing toward him. Saix grinned as he caught it effortlessly between his palms, the projectile mere inches from his face. "Fool." He shifted his gaze off of the Keyblade to give his opponent a smug glare.

The smugness quickly evaporated when his own claymore came out of nowhere and slammed him upside his head, forcing him to drop the Keyblade. As Saix began to stagger about, he realized that Naminé had converted back to Kairi.

Kairi quickly took advantage of the moment, swiping the fallen Keyblade off the floor and Aerial Dodged into the air.

"This one's for Sora!" Kairi cried as she thrusted her weapon downward into Saix's exposed back. "IT'S OVER!"

As Kairi ripped the Keyblade out of her enemy's back, she could hear Saix whisper, "I...I misjudged you."

"Whatever you and the Organization are planning, it's not going to succeed!" Kairi shouted angrily.

In the back of her mind, Naminé was rolling her eyes. "Out of all the cool things you could say, that's the best you could come up with?"

"For someone who just got the snot beaten out of him," Kairi observed, "he's not acting like someone who lost."

Indeed, Saix stood there in Kingdom Hearts' glow, his hair shadowed over his face barely concealing a dark smile. "If...If I had a heart...this would be where I die of laughter."

Kairi's eyes narrowed. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Saix only gave her a maniacal grin. "You just keep fighting with all your heart, Kairi," were his final cryptic words before he returned to his data's storage, leaving Kairi and Naminé the uneasy feeling that they'd just played right into the Organization's hands.

Under some goading from a friend of mine, I've decided to go ahead and submit both of my "Kingdom Hearts Alternate Futures" to dA in order to expand the group of readers.

Note: Keep in mind that this was written before KH:358/2 Days was announced, after KH2:FM+ was out and was originally my idea of a prequel to KH3.
