Kingdom Hearts; The Heartless Keeper

Chapter IV; Learning

Yuki looked out over Twilight Town from the station plaza. It was an amazing view at night. The windows a glow looking like fireflies from a distance. The trams no longer running made it seem more peaceful. The night sounds were the only thing to be heard.

"Come on, we don't have long." Hysui, number four, said as she walked towards what was called station heights. Yuki turned away from the ledge she had been looking over and followed.

Hysui took Yuki to the tram common, the main area of the town. She stopped and looked around waiting for Yuki to catch up.

Hysui looked to be in her mid-twenties. With dark brown hair cut in a bob style. Her eyes were a yellowish gold that seemed to glow. Her skin was a coppery tone that was different from most others in the organization. The Heartless emblem on the back of her hand was purple outlined in pink.

"Now tonight we'll be doing reconnaissance on this town. It won't take long." Hysui said not looking at Yuki.

"Why are we doing it at night?" Yuki asked. She wasn't having trouble seeing but it seemed weird.

"To avoid the people of the town. Now come, I want to get this over with." Hysui replied walking further into the common. Yuki followed her without question.

"Now look around and tell me what you see." Hysui said standing by a shop.

Yuki looked around. There were a lot of shops, and most buildings were right next to each other. There were different levels of the area, and stairs to reach these higher levels. There seemed to be a road made of a darker brick. An area off to the side had trams parked in it.

"This is the market of the town." Yuki stated, still looking around. "The town was built on uneven ground which makes it kind of hard to navigate. The people of the town hold an advantage if they got attacked."

Hysui nodded, "Very good, you seem to have a talent. Anything else?" Hysui looked at Yuki with her arms crossed.

"They use a tram for transportation. But those gated off areas lead underground. The underground is also used to get around quickly. At least, that's what I would use it for." Yuki said. She looked at Hysui to see her opinion. Hysui nodded in agreement.

"You're resourceful and very good at analysis. But there are a few things you missed." Hysui said, she was smiling slightly.

"What?" Yuki asked.

"This is the center of the town's activity. The town is actually built on a hill giving it high ground, which is an advantage in any fight. The buildings themselves are built close together which allows easy jumping from roof to roof. And there are multiple ways to get to the same area as well as a few dead ends good for an ambush. This town is well defended. And from the behavior of the people, they don't realize it." Hysui explained walking forward a bit then turning to face Yuki. Yuki nodded, listening to every word.

"That's all we have to do. We can return to the castle now." Hysui said walking back to the plaza. Yuki followed her silently. She looked up at the clock tower as they walked.

"What's the clock tower used for?" Yuki asked.

"To tell time." Hysui replied sarcastically.

"Well, I got that. What's the building under it?" Yuki asked narrowing her eyes at Hysui slightly.

Hysui shivered slightly. "It's the tram station. They organize transportation there." She answered.

"Oh," Yuki said looking at the ground thoughtfully.

Hysui looked at Yuki interested. How strange, just a look from this girl and she felt compelled to do whatever she said. Only Tayressa had that effect. And even so, it took a considerable amount more from Tayressa to receive the same effect this girl got in a single glance. This girl was powerful.
