My Strength Comes From Those I Love(Pokémon ver.)

Worries & Nightmare

My Pov

I sat on the Paopu Tree, feeling the ocean breeze pass by. A few weeks had past and it was weird readjusting to normal life. It was going to even more weird when Sora and Riku left. I had hurry and finish these before they left. I already finished Kairi's and I was about done with these. Eve sat just beneath me.

"Hikari?" a voice asked. I was so startled, I pricked my finger.

"Ouch!" I exclaimed. I notice a small drop of blood. I turned to see Aqua and Vaporeon.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!" Aqua apologized. Aqua used a small ounce of Cure magic.

"It's okay. I thought you were Sora or Riku. I don't want them to see these until I'm done." I said. She looked to see what I was making.

"The Wayfinders and collars are coming along nicely." Aqua said.

"Thanks." I said. With Aqua's help, I finished the last two. I put them in my pouch. "Oh yeah. I made this collar for Vaporeon." I took it out and put it around Vaporeon's neck. It was dark blue with a small Wayfinder charm on it.

"Por!" Vaporeon exclaimed.

"Well, tomorrow's the day. Sora and Riku take the Mark of Mastery themselves." I said.

"Are you worried because of what happened after me Terra took ours?" Aqua asked. I nodded.

"I can't help but think things aren't over." I said. I hugged me.

"You needn't worry so much. Everything's fine. I just hope we can get Terra, Flareon, Ven and Jolteon back." Aqua said.

"And Van and Umbreon?" I asked.

"Yeah. I could tell when I fought him, that he had a lot of pain in his heart. I think meeting you was what turned him around." Aqua said.

"Vaporeon." Vaporeon agreed.

"I think so too." I said. I noticed the sun was going down. "We better head back home." I said. Aqua was staying in the guest room we had, since our home was no more. As night fell and we finished dinner, I took Tai up to the nursery, which was also the guest room. Aqua didn't mind. She had taken care of me practically since I was born, so she would help us with him. I rocked him gently as I sang a lullaby Aqua had sung to me. Eve used Sing at a low level so as to not cause me to fall asleep.

"No one to harm you or fill you with fright
No one to wrong you while I hold you tight
This mother's child is safe in my arms
Free from harm

Daylight, the sun will shine down on your face
At night, only moonbeams will share my embrace
No one to harm you or fill you with fright
No one will wrong you tonight." Tai yawned and stretched his arms.

"Beautiful..." a voice said. I looked to see Riku standing in the doorway with Glaceon right next to him. I laid Tai in his crib the way Aqua had shown me. I placed his teddy bear far enough from him. The teddy bear was the present Santa had given me. Around its neck was a locket, which had a picture of me and Riku.

"Aqua sang that to me all the time when I was little." I said.

"It's a beautiful song, especially if you sing it." Riku said.

"You flirt way too much." I said. He wrapped his arms around me.

"Who says I'm flirting? Besides, it's not a bad thing if I'm flirting with my fiancée." Riku said, slyly. I blushed.

"I need to change into the nightdress Mom got me." I said. I went to our room and went through my dresser. I found and looked at it. It wasn't just any nightdress, it was a negligee. Why did Mom buy me this? I sighed and put it on. Had no choice, since all my other nightdresses were too small. I heard footsteps coming this way. It was Riku, dressed in his night clothes. He blushed. "Keep in mind, I didn't ask her to buy it."

"I think it looks good on you." Riku said.

"You would. I know that I won't sleep well tonight. Not with everything going through my head." I said. Eve looked at Glaceon, worried. Riku cupped my face with in hands and made me look at him.

"Hikari, nothing is going to happen. I promise." Riku said. He gave me a reassuring kiss. Glaceon did the same to Eve.

"I know... but I can't help but worry. Maybe sleeping will help." I said.

"Sleep tight, Hikari." Riku said.

"You too, Riku." I said. I closed my eyes and drifted off into peaceful sleep. My dream, however, weren't so peaceful.

Dream

I was six years old and living in Radiant Garden with my grandma and cousin. I felt the need to go visit Ienzo and the others. I made my way through the halls of castle and only hoped I wouldn't run into Xehanort. Eve stayed close to me. As I approached the study, I felt a sense of fear and dread wash over me. The closer I got to the study, the more intense the feelings grew. I opened the door to the study and became paralyzed with fear. Dilan, Pidgeot, Aeleus and Donphan were laying on the floor, fading into darkness.

"Hikari... run from here... now! Before he finds you..." Dilan muttered.

"Who? Where's Even? Where's Ienzo?!" I asked, panicking.

"In... the computer... room, but don't go..." Aeleus warned. I didn't listen and ran up to the computer room. I happened to see Xehanort piercing Even's chest with a Keyblade and Haxorus stabbing Glalie with its claws.

"Even!" I cried. Xehanort, Braig and Ienzo all looked at me.

"Princess... of... Kingdom Hearts!" Xehanort exclaimed. Xehanort and Haxorus lunged toward me. What happened next shocked me to my very core. Ienzo and Shuppet had jumped in the way and were stabbed instead.

"Ienzo..." I said in dismay.

"Hikari, run! Don't look back!" Ienzo yelled. I picked up Eve and ran for my life. The sky became black as the wind picked up and lightning bolts fell from the sky and struck the ground.

"Hikari!" a voice called. I looked to see Kairi, Rere and Nono. She returned Rere who was having a hard time flying and picked up Nono. I grabbed her hand and we ran. I took out my Wayfinder.

"Please help us!" I begged. It glowed briefly before opening a portal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Xehanort and Haxorus. Me and Kairi jumped into the portal. Just when I thought we were safe, a huge impact hit us both as we fell downward. The more I fell, the more of my memories that began to fade until... I remembered nothing.
