I Want to be a Hero {KH Romance}

Heroes and Douchebags*

"This is no place to try and live my life..." I sing quietly, following the group to the steps of a place called 'Olympus'. I stare at my feet, feeling a bit embarrassed for my actions from earlier. I mean, really keyblade? Ice? Do we NEED to be so fucking extra? The point is to NOT get jealous of Kairi, or Blaire, and to NOT let feelings for Sora develop. Can we focus for once?

A scream echoes through the air, pulling me from my thoughts. I turn to see a girl being attacked by two dog-looking monsters.

"Heartless!" Sora shouts, running towards them and scaring them off. He holds out a hand to help the girl up, and stands on her own, wiping herself off.

"I'm fine thanks." I stare at her long hair, a deep brown with thick curls at the end, held up in a high ponytail. She was dressed in a pink... toga? She looks the group up and down, "And you're supposed to be?"

Sora points each of us out "I'm Sora, those two girls are Blair and Rea, he's Donald, and that's Goofy." He turns back to the woman with a wide smile "We came to see how Hercules is doing." she scoffs.

"You know wonderboy?" She looks the group over with a judgmental stare.

"Yeah! Cause we're heroes too!" Donald says with a grin. I raise my hand.

" 'Cept me. I'm no hero" Goofy turns to Donald.

"Don't you mean junior heroes?" I bite the inside of my cheek and fidget with my bracelet. Tried to be funny, and got ignored. Story of my life.

"Looks like we've got a friend in common. The name's Megera. Friends call me Meg." Sora smiles.

"So how's Herc?"

"Meg: Wonderboy? Well, he's duking it out at the Coliseum every day. You know, 'a hero's work is never done' and all that. He's ready to drop, but he keeps on fighting. Even Wonderboy has his limits, though. These opponents are bad news---special deliveries from Hades himself." Donald's jaw drops.

"Hades?!"

" Right. Lord of the Underworld. I was on my way to see him. Maybe I can get Hades to give Wonderboy a breather. If anything happens to that kid..." I let out a knowing laugh and she looks up at me, a blank stare.

"Sounds like you're more than just friends." I wiggle my eyebrows, and her eyes widen. I simply find myself laughing a little more. Sora wraps an arm around my shoulder and I force myself not to look at the ever-so-brilliant smile I knew he was flashing Meg at this very moment. Yes, that was my master plan. If I didn't look at him, I wouldn't be tempted to love his smile, his eyes, or any of those features that helped accent what an amazing person Sora was.

"We'll go have a little talk with Hades. I'd hate for anything to happen to you on your way to see him." Yes, brilliant plan Sora, volunteer US to so see the person she just said was the lord of the underworld..That sounds great, I'm so glad you thought twice about this.

Meg looks surprised "You really want to do that? Well, it looks like you know what you're doing. I guess I'll take you up on that offer. But...let's keep this whole chat-with-Hades thing our little secret, okay?" Blair wipes her hand over her mouth as if she were closing a zipper.

"Our lips are sealed."

I can't say I was excited about this. Beast's castle would probably be a carnival ride compared to the Underworld. I was honestly a bit surprised not to see dead people wandering around when we entered, it seemed like the only spooky thing was the underworld itself. No ghosts, no zombies, no huge flames. Just a cave.

"Hey, A\at least try to keep up, rookies!" We turn and three figures in black cloaks become apparent in the distance.

"S-Sorry!" A girl's voice rang out as the two falling behind quickly caught up with the other member.
