Alice and Cinderella 12/10/14 MaYuki YukoParu SayaMilky TakaHaru

[MaYukiIsLife]

Mayu’s POV

When I was a child, my Mama used to read bedtime stories to me. All of them were fairy tales, about princesses, magic, and all sorts of things that I could only dream were true.

Although I was an only child, my mom said she was happy having me with her since Papa was always away at work. She would play with me and take care of me, even though most of the time, I lived in my fantasy world.

One day, we were spending some time at a park together. As she was reading one of her books, I fell asleep…

…..

When I opened my eyes, I realized my Mama wasn’t there and I was alone. I tried calling to her, but she didn’t answer.

I was starting to get worried. Then, I saw someone standing behind a tree, looking at me. She was holding Mama’s book!

Also… she had bunny ears.

“Ah!” She suddenly screamed when she looked at her watch. “I’m late!”

“Umm, excuse me!” I asked her, “May I please know who you are and what you’re doing here?”

“Mou~, I don’t have time for this! I need to go NOW!”

“Wait! My Mama’s book!”

“Huh?!”

“That book you’re holding, it’s my Mama’s!”

“Look, kid, I really can’t talk right now, so, uh, if you have a problem, you may just have to come with me!”

“What?!” She grabbed my hand and started dragging me down a path in the forest. “Wait, where are you taking me?! Mama is going to worry about me!”

“I have no idea, kid, now come with me!”

“Wait, where are we going?!”

She pulled out a key necklace and threw it towards a tree. A hole in the tree opened up and we both jumped through it.

“You better hold on!”

“What?!”

Before I knew it, I felt I was falling and screamed.

…..

“Ano~...”

Mm… what? I’m sleeping…

“Hello? Are you alive?”

Huh..? Of course I am… Wait, who is that?

I looked up and saw an almost expressionless face. There was also the bunny ear girl.

“Uwaa~ thank goodness!”

“You okay?”

I looked around and saw I was in a large library.

“I guess I am...But you haven’t told me who you are yet!” I said, pointing to the bunny eared girl.

“Ah~ sorry, sorry! The name’s Yuko, I’m a Keeper.”

“Keeper?”

“This.” She showed me the key necklace around her neck. It was a beautiful gold with a ruby in the center. “It’s proof that I’m a Keeper, a person chosen to become a Guardian of Wonderland.”

“Wonderland?”

“That’s right. And you’re one, too. See?”
 
I looked and saw a key necklace around my neck. Unlike hers, mine was silver and had a baby blue diamond in the center.

“I want to know, how I got here and why was I chosen?”

“Well… I’m not real sure. Haha.”

“Eh?!”

“Paruru would probably know. She’s the bookworm.”

“I am not a bookworm. I’m a Teller.”

“Potato, po-tah-to~”

“What’s a Teller?”

“It means she’s in charge of this place and looks after the interdimensional portals. All these books connect to different worlds, and this place is the crown jewel of it all.”

“So will my home world be in and amongst these portals?”

“Maybe~”

Paru groaned and pulled out one of the books. It looked just like my Mama’s!

“Here...” She opened it up and then placed a lock over it. “Can I use your key?”

“Uh… y-yes.”

She put the key inside the lock’s hole and the book started glowing. It opened up and I could see the park where me and Mama were…

Wait, how can I be here AND there?!

“Your Mama’s not gonna worry. I just created a copy of your soul and put it there, just like I did that book.”

“While your mind is awake in this world, soul copies can fall asleep in other worlds and still retain memories of their life.”

“Although, the only downside is, THAT you doesn’t remember anything that’s happening right now. Even if she does, she’ll just recall it as a weird dream.”

“So, what’s going to happen to me? I’m going to stay here forever and never go back?”

“Well, that’s only if you decide to stay here.”

“You can go back… But, there’s still something we need to discuss.”

“What?”

“One of the Keepers duties is protecting legendary figures from the Darkness, that way they can keep their Happily Ever Afters, like in your fairytales.”

“Wait, so… All the stuff I read when I was a kid… They’re real?!”

“Yup!”

“So… Since you’re a rabbit… And this is Wonderland...”

“Ding dong! Now then, now then~, it’s time to find out who you will be assigned to.”

“Eh?” They helped me up and the books started flying around the whole room. “Wha… what’s going on?!”

“This is a test. The one your key catches will be your assignment from now on.”

“Good luck~!”

My necklace stood up on its own and started dragging me everywhere as it was searching for my “assignment.” When I finally felt it was going to drag my heels completely, it suddenly hit one of the books and unlocked it.

“Woah~”

“What Keyhole is it?”

“Huh?!”

“What book did you get, kid?”

“Uh…” I turned the book to look at the title… It was one I always loved since I was a child. “Cinderella!”

There was a bright flash and everything went silent.

Another, hopefully shorter fanfic to Dishonored (We're gonna stop at chapter 50 btw) but it's a MayuYukirin with a little Yuko and Paruru~ And it's another collab between me and Ruka Kikuchi~

[MaYukiIsLife]

Yuki’s POV

I was silently worked as my evil stepmother was eyeing my every move. Nothing about this seemed right.

“Cinderella! Scrub harder! I want to SEE my face in that floor!”

“Y-yes ma’am.”

I need to remain positive. I always do my work, like I’m supposed to. But, honestly, my stepmother and her daughters can be mean, and it’s scary.

“Cinderella, where is my dress?! I need it for the ball!”

“And what about my jewelry?!”

“I’ll bring it right away!”

“CINDERELLA!!!”

Even though they yell at me, slap, kick, drown me in dirty water, I can bear that pain…

Because, they told me, if I can finish my work in time, I could go to the ball tonight. I could wear a dress for the first time, I could dance like there was no tomorrow.

And maybe, just maybe, I could meet my Prince Charming...

"Cinderella! Grab me my makeup!"

Ugh~ I cannot take it anymore! Every single day is intense labor, doing this, doing that.

Sometimes, I wish I could be treated better. I wish my mom had never died, and my dad didn’t leave… I wish…..

“Cinderella, quit daydreaming! Get to work!!!”

“Yes ma’am.”

…..

I hummed to myself as I twirled in the gown I prepared. To think, this could be my one and only day that I can finally be free and have some fun.

I spun and danced as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I knelt down and picked up two of my mouse friends in my hand.

“I wonder if stepmother and the sisters will let me go tonight.”

All I get is a squeak as an answer, but I pretend they answer.

“Hehe, hopefully.”

“Cinderella!” I heard my stepmother call me.

“Coming!” I ran down the stairs and smiled, just imagining what it would be like to finally go to a ball. I opened the door and saw the three just about to leave. “Wait. I’m ready to go.”

“Go? My, where to?”

“T-to the ball. Aren’t I going with you?”

“You?! To the ball, in THAT dress?!” One of my sisters tore off a ribbon on my dress. “Look at this material! It comes off so easily!”

“Stop!”

“Yeah, and check out the beads on this necklace! SO ugly!” said the other sister before she ripped off my necklace, sending the beads flying.

“Why would someone like YOU even try so hard?!”

“The prince would never fall for you!”

Stop… stop, please..! I’m begging you! Please….! This pain… Hurts so badly…

“Now, girls...” My stepmother stopped them and I saw an evil grin. “That’s enough...”

Don’t say that… it’s too late… My dress… The one I spent so long making…. It’s ruined…

“Cinderella, do look after the house while we’re gone.” she said before they left and shut the door.

“No…”

I turned around and ran to the outer garden. I couldn’t hold back my tears anymore and tripped, falling onto a stone bench and weeping into my arms.

My torn dress is dirtied, ripped and falling apart at the seams, and my hair, they even tore the ribbons out and tangled it, the braids becoming loose and ugly.

I can’t go to the ball. I can’t do anything…I can’t be free from them, from anything….

I should just… just….

“Kill yourself.”

Kill… kill myself..?

“Yes. End the sorrow. End your life.”

Yes… that’s what I should do. There’s no point in trying to continue…

I should just go and die…

“NO!”

*CLASH*

Eh..? Who is it?

I opened my eyes and saw a young girl standing in front of me. She had a long sword, which strangely looked like a key, pointed out to this monster.

It looked like a shadow of black ink, with glowing red eyes.

“What? What’s going on here?!”

The girl swung her sword and the monster disappeared, dispersed into black smoke.

She turned to look at me. She was actually quite cute. Her eyes were bright, something I haven’t seen in a long time.

“Are you okay, Miss Cinderella?”

“I...” She took my hand and helped me up. “Are you my--”

“Fairy Godmother? Well, no. More like a guardian, I guess.”

“Why are you here?”

“I’m kinda new at this, really. But, all I know is that I was chosen to protect your story.”

“My… story?”

“Your Happily Ever After. You know, when you get the Prince’s heart and become a Princess. Don’t all storybook characters know their own stories?”

“Eh?”

“Well, nevermind. The point is, now that I’m here, I can fix everything. I can let you go to the ball and meet the Prince, Miss Cinderella.”

I blushed slightly. “Um, you don’t have to call me that.”

“Oh. So, just Cinderella?”

“No, I mean… that’s not my name. That was just a mean nickname my stepsisters used to tease me.”

“So, what’s your real name?”

“Yuki.”

“Yuki...” Her eyes sparkled brightly. “That’s even better!”

I felt my lips curl in a smile as I heard her kind laugh. It really warmed my heart meeting someone who finally cares about me.

“Well, Yuki, I think it’s time we get you ready for the ball!”

“Yes!”

[Ruka Kikuchi]

Yuko’s POV

“She’s revealed too much to our Cinderella.” the woman beside me said as we looked through the book.

“It can’t be helped, Nyan-nyan. She’s still new. Besides, you know that when the clock in our world strikes midnight--”

“I’m well aware, Yuko. But that’s still not acceptable.”

“Well, if you say so… What do we do about it?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll go in and alter her memories.”

“Yeah… But...” I hugged Nyan-nyan from behind. “Just give her a chance, okay?”

She sighed and patted my head. “Okay, if it’s for you, Yuko.”

“Arigato, Nyan-nyan~”

Meanwhile…

Mayu’s POV

“You look beautiful, Yuki~”

“Thank you.” She turned to me in her beautiful blue ball gown. I adjusted the tiara on her head and wrapped a diamond necklace around her neck.

“Perfect. Now then, one last thing...”

I opened up one of the closets and found a pair of sparkling silver shoes that looked like glass.

“These.”

“Those?”

“This is how your story goes. You wear these, lose one at the ball, then the Prince finds it and finds you.”

“I really don’t see how someone can fall in love with a girl like me. Especially because of a shoe.”

“Well… I don’t really know how to explain it if you don’t believe that~”

“Okay… if you say so. I’ll take your word for it.”

I slipped the shoes on her and then we headed out to the ball. I was able to find a shortcut that would take us there just in time for her to dance with the Prince.

And the best part is, now she doesn’t have to leave at midnight. She can stay all night with the Prince and have an even BETTER Happily Ever After.

We finally made it to the entrance, with pillars standing tall in front of the palace.

“Wow… It’s amazing.”

“Go.” I turned to her and smiled. “Get your Happily Ever After.”

She smiled and hugged me. She’s so warm.

“Thank you.”

“Yuki… I--”

*Ring*

Yuki’s body suddenly went limp and she fell in my arms, fast asleep.

“Yuki? Yuki, wake up!”

I looked up and saw a woman wearing all white. She was holding a bell in her hand. She knelt down to Yuki and placed her hand over her head, whispering to her.

“When you wake up, you will not remember about the monster who attacked you or the girl standing here. You won’t remember who I am or that I exist. You will only recall that your Fairy Godmother came and brought you here. You only have until midnight...”

“What are you doing?!” I grabbed her hand and removed it from Yuki.

“I had to. She is not allowed to know the truth.”

“But this is how her story goes. I was helping her, I can make her story better!”

“No. You cannot change how the destiny of these people. You are only supposed to defeat the Negatives and let the story run as it should. In these worlds, we are not supposed to exist.”

“But, Yuki… She was my friend.”

“Revealing the outcome of one’s story or altering their destiny is forbidden. I learned that the hard way...” She looked away from me.

Eh? Did something happen..?

“Besides, it’s not like it would matter!”

“Wha..?”

“In the Mainland, the world WE belong in and only WE exist in, there is a Grand Clock that rules over all worlds. When it strikes midnight there, all stories start from the beginning, as they always do, and everyone’s memories are reset.”

“No… But...”

“So you get it now? It doesn’t matter if you reveal anything to her or not. Because in the end, she’ll forget everything and have to repeat the same thing, over and over, while we just stand by and wait for the proper time to help.”

No… Yuki’s going to.. forget me?

[yuuyu]

...I just have so many questions popping up into my head and my brain can't even make words... So I'mma just ramble for a bit...


Interesting enough, I find Mayu to technically be "Alice"; she fell asleep under a tree while a relative reads a book, wakes up to find the "White Rabbit" (Yuko), follows the White Rabbit into a "rabbit hole" (I'm not even going to delve into the whole double/triple meaning here until another time). I wouldn't be surprised if Yuko turned out to be her guardian at this rate; it would explain her asking Nyan-nyan to give Mayu a chance (or for better wording, time, since she still entered the story and erased Yuki's memories).  I mean, if every world has a key, what's to say that every world isn't in its own right a tale of its own?

Though, I do wonder that if this is the case why Mayu is allowed to know so much about the other fairy tales... If she was in fact part of a fairy tale it would mean she would also be affected by the Midnight Rule... but then again it could be one of those things that is innate to her character (i.e. Yuki knowing her parents are gone, that knowledge is preexisting, even with the Midnight Rule in play she will never forget that fact because it's a detail that needs to exist before the story's start as to explain her character)...

The Midnight Rule confuses me just a bit. If it automatically resets at midnight, wouldn't that mean that for a number of fairy tales they'd be reset halfway or three quarters of the way through? Or do all the worlds follow their own time and the Grand Clock follows one of its own? The time loop is interesting though, I must say; you wouldn't have to worry to much about missing a thing in the story world because the same thing would occur every day... it could come in handy knowing where everything and everyone is at any point of time... Also if everyone (that belongs to that world) has their memories reset automatically by the Grand Clock, would delving away from the story a little (i.e. Mayu befriending Yuki, Mayu interacting with other characters in the Cinderella story world, etc.; I do not mean the Negative's interference or revealing spoilers of what's to come) really hold any effect if the story just returns to the beginning of the story at midnight?

I don't know why, but when Haruna appeared to erase Yuki's memories, I automatically saw her as "the Blue Fairy" from Pinocchio (I blame her most recent Peach John promotion for this image of her in my mind)...

Wait, so does the Grand Clock erase memories or are there agents (i.e. Haruna?) that do that for it? How was Haruna able to jump into the story so quickly? Was it even necessary to erase Yuki's memories if she'll forget anyway?

“Revealing the outcome of one’s story or altering their destiny is forbidden. I learned that the hard way...”

I wonder what or who was she referring to...

What is a "Teller" exactly? Do they belong to their own book/world or have they always simply existed in the Mainland?

What is Haruna exactly? What is the Grand Clock?

What is the Mainland? Is it Wonderland? Or is it an in-between of dimensions?

Can Guardians jump into any story they want to explore or can they only enter their own?

So do the guardian keys open two books (i.e. the Guardian's world and the fairy tale they're assigned to protect)?

So many more questions, but my words are failing me again...
Till next update! ovo

She had a long sword, which strangely looked like a key, pointed out to this monster.

“No. You cannot change how the destiny of these people. You are only supposed to defeat the Negatives and let the story run as it should. In these worlds, we are not supposed to exist.”

wow... Kingdom Hearts

I don't know what to say, I felt like commenting here, I find it hilarious/kawaii/and all entertaining I love it

Someone was bound to notice Yes, we are going to add more KH type parts to the story

@Yuyuu
Yes, Mayu is meant to be Alice, well if you consider that Yuko is her guardian, then please do~ Mayu and Yuko just protect the storybook characters, hence why they're "Keepers". Well Mayu's mother told her a lot of stories so that's how she has a lot of knowledge. As for your comment on the midnight rule, Mayu or anyone in the library wouldn't be affected and the stories will have to go at the same time as the Grand Clock as the Grand Clock keeps all Fairy Tales in tow with each other. Haruna I guess is the chief Keeper, who unlike The Oshiri Sisters, can erase any characters memories at any one time and for who/what she mentioned is for later. I imagined the same thing Yes, the Grand Clock resets memories, but Haruna did that to Yuki so Mayu wouldn't keep telling her that she's apart of a story and how to make her Happily Ever After better~ And Haruna as a Master Key I guess~ Paruru is a Teller, a teller is apart of the Mainland, and Mainland is basically Wonderland, but it's only for Tellers and Keepers so it's an inbetween dimension. Plus Paruru is the only Teller as you only need one to look after all the books, as you would a librarian at a library~ Keepers (Or Guardians if you must) can jump around dimensions but they cannot interfere with that story as it's not their 'assignment'. Well the Keepers World doesn't need a Key to open it as when they're finished with the story they can hop back into the library~ I'll explain more later~

I don't know what to say, I felt like commenting here, I find it hilarious/kawaii/and all entertaining I love it   

Aww thanks imteedee-san~ I love all your fanfics~

This story has picked my interest

I'm a bit confused, but maybe I'll just waiting for the next chaps..

One thing though,

“Revealing the outcome of one’s story or altering their destiny is forbidden. I learned that the hard way...” She looked away from me.

Eh? Did something happen..?

Does Haruna experienced something before? Or it's just my imagination?

Thankyou author-san

Your quite right, but I will reveal it later

[Ruka Kikuchi]

Haruna’s POV

Flashback

Tap. Tap. She’s tapping her fingers. At me.

“I’m very sorry, Grand Master.” I said before bowing to her.

She just chuckled, “I told you, you don’t have to call me that.”

“No. I must… I let that.. that girl.. try to change everything.” I looked up and just saw her smile as she read through the Grand Book.

“You mustn’t blame her. She’s a curious little soul.”

Yeah, a bit TOO curious if you ask me.

“Why does it have to be HER, anyways? Wouldn’t the Fairy Godmother or someone like her make a more proper Guardian for Cinderella?”

She closed her book and stood up before me.

“You don’t see it, do you?”

“Eh?”

“You’ve been so focused on work, you’ve forgotten how to see the beauty that special souls like her hold,” she said holding my shoulders. “She has a gift.”

I pursed my lips and saw her smile again as she released me.

“Let’s just give it some time. You’ll understand soon.”

End of Flashback

--------------------------------------------------

Mayu’s POV

“Yuki...”

After all I did to help, why did Haruna-san have to do that? Now Yuki’s just going to keep repeating this cycle forever, and forget about me.

“Paru-san?” I looked and saw her writing in one of the books.

“Hm?”

“Do you have any blank books?”

“Sorry, Mayu. All the books in here are already written.”

“Ah, sou...”

“Why?”

“I want to… write a new story for Yuki.”

I watched as she stopped everything she was doing and looked at me. She closed the book and put it at her desk.

“Mayu… we can’t do that. There’s only one person who has enough power to create new worlds, and that is the Grand Master.”

“Can’t I just ask her to let me--”

“No.” She said it straight. “Years ago, all the Grand Masters made a rule that forbid us from changing the outcomes of these worlds in any way.”

“Why?”

“Because it was too much of a risk. Changing someone’s fate is more dangerous than you think, Mayu. It can cause a chain reaction that would ruin everything and cause their world to crumble apart.”

“Is that why you’re controlling their lives?! Why there are limits as to how far the story goes?! So that they would never change or move on?! You’re just making them live through the same thing over and over!”

“Mayu...”

“I don’t want to put Yuki through that kind of pain. Even if she doesn’t remember, it’s not fair that everything she does in the end goes to waste!”

“Mayu!” Everything went silent with her scream and I saw tears at the rim of her eyes.

“...I...”

“Do you want to stop?”

“Eh?”

“If you can’t do this, I will send you back to your world and immediately have all your memories of what has happened erased.”

No… No, I don’t want that! I don’t want to forget Yuki… I can’t. No matter how hard I try, the thought of her won’t leave me…

“I...”

“Kyaa!” Just then, a young girl suddenly ran in. I noticed she was wearing a red hood over her head.

“Jurina-chan? What are you doing here?”

“Wh-where am I?!”

This girl, Jurina… She’s Little Red Riding Hood!

“Calm down, Jurina-chan. I won’t hurt you.”

“Please, you have to help me!”

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s my obaa-chan! The wolf attacked her!”

“What? That can’t be! The woodsmen should’ve come and stopped him.”

“That’s just it. I ran into the forest to find him, but he...”

“What?”

“He was frozen!”

[MYJR]

HARUNA!!!!!

“He was frozen!”

Who? the wolf?

If this turn out being video game(KH spin-off or something) I'll play it
the story really interesting~

[Ruka Kikuchi]

“He was frozen!”

Who? the wolf?

No, the woodsmen.

[MaYukiIsLife]

Mayu’s POV

“What do you mean, he was frozen?”

“He wasn’t moving at all! I tried to get his attention, but he just stood there! He didn’t even look at me! And the wolf was getting closer, and..! AND..!!!”

“Calm down, Jurina-chan. It’ll be okay.”

As Paru was calming her down, I looked and saw the Grandfather clock in the middle of the room. This must’ve been the Grand Clock that Haruna mentioned to me.

But, the hands weren’t moving. It was just about to strike midnight, yet it wasn’t doing anything.

“Hey, Paru… How old is this Grand Clock?”

“Older than even the first Grand Master. It’s been here forever, controlling time within each world.”

“Has it ever stopped?”

The two suddenly looked at me and ran towards the clock. Jurina put her ear against it.

“It’s not ticking!”

“What?! That’s impossible!”

“It’s frozen, just like the woodsmen!”

“Uso...” Paru sat down and held her head. “The Grand Clock has… stopped working? But how?! WHY?!”

“Wait… I might know why.”

“Haruna-san?”

“It might be because the Heartless have started roaming the different worlds. Heartless are a
darker, more powerful form of the Shadows. The invasion happens twice every 15 years in this world. None of you were here to see the last one, except for you Yuu-chan~”

“Eh? What invasion?”

“The invasion of the Dark Arts. A strong force invades the worlds and tries to destroy everything! Now this time it has grown strong to the point the Grand Clock has frozen.”

“What happened the last time?”

“The world that Jurina is living in was almost fully destroyed as well as millions of Heartless were attacking a lot of the worlds… It was horrible.”

“EH?”

“Hence why during this invasion, the saviours became frozen and so did the Grand Clock. There is this evil man called Ansem who controls the Heartless. He creates larger and more powerful ones.”

I then saw a big black blob in the middle of the library.

“Haruna!” Before Haruna-san managed to turn around, Yuko pushed her out of the way and was attacked by the Heartless, before it ran off.

“Yuu-chan!”

“H-Haruna...”

“Well, this is the consequences of the invasion… I have nothing to heal her with… Paru, have you?”

“Gomen… No I don’t.”

“H-Haruna, l-listen to me, okay? Protect the kid and teach her the ropes. Always remember what I told you… You gotta face forward…. Face the fact that I’m gone and move forward...”

“Yuu-chan! Please don’t leave me!”

“I’m… Sorry….”

Paru went to check her pulse.

“I’m sorry Haruna-san, she’s passed on.”

“What’s your name?” Haruna asked as she pointed at me.

“M-Mayu… W-Watanabe M-Mayu….”

“Don’t worry, I know you have the capability to defeat Ansem… Please don’t just do for me… Do it for Yuko… The Grand Master says you have some potential, as well as Yuu-chan.”

What does she mean? What am I getting myself into?

“And besides, she says she wants to see you. Come with me then Mayu, Haruka, prepare a burial for Yuko.”

“Hai.”

“Jurina, you should go back to your own world after we’ve spoken to the Grand Master.”

“Hai!”

She then signalled me to follow her down a narrow hall, which cages with statues. 24 on one side and 23 on the other.

“Those are the past 47 Grand Masters, the one we have now is the 48th. Her name is Takahashi Minami. She has control over all worlds and the power to take humans from the overworld and let them serve here. Unless she dies, she won’t have a statue yet.”

We then entered a grand hall and in which had a midget inside, whom I think is Grand Master Takahashi.

“Ahh, Watanabe Mayu-san, is it nice to see you.”

“Grand Master Takahashi, it is nice to meet you for the first time.”

“No need for formalities Mayu, please just call me Minami or Takamina. We have another Minami here as well. Her name’s Minegishi Minami and you’ll meet her soon.”

“Minami… Sad news has fallen upon us.”

“Eh? Nani?”

“It’s Yuko… She has fallen because of my foolishness.”

“It’s never because of one’s weakness, Haruna.”

“No, I wasn’t paying attention… If I had noticed that Heartless, she wouldn’t have saved me from it and killed herself!”

“*Sighs* You’ll never change will you? Mayu, I want you to defeat Ansem once and for all, in return, I will revert Yuki’s memories to the way it was before Haruna erased them. For you have a gift, you see. One that could change many story endings.”

“EH?”

“Defeat Ansem and you might become the next Grand Master.”

“Wait, Takamina. What?”

“You see every 15 years Ansem reincarnates. And he’s back for a fiery vengeance. Hence why the fluctuation of dark matter was strong enough to freeze the Grand Clock. Me and Haruna will aid you on this journey.”

Eh? Why would the Grand Master do that? Well now it’s become a rollercoaster ride.

[MaYukiIsLife]

Mayu’s POV

“Mayu, are you sure you’re ready for this?”

“I have to. It’s the only way...”

I summoned my Key Blade and opened up the portal to Yukirin’s world. Everything and everyone was frozen in time.

I opened the door to Yukirin’s mansion and saw her sitting there, trying to get everyone’s attention. It was just at the part of her story where she was about to put on the slipper.

“Yukirin!” I tried to resist myself from hugging her, gripping my fists tight.

“Eh?” She looked at me confused. “Who are you?”

“I know you don’t know who I am, but I know who you are, and I need you to trust me.” I held her hand and grasped it tight. “You need to come with me.”

“But...”

“I’m doing it to keep you safe.”

Meanwhile...

“Haha! My plan is soon to be complete! I thank you Minegishi for betraying those fools.” A figure hidden by the shadows spoke, red eyes illuminating his location.

“You’re welcome, Lord Ansem. It is my pleasure to work alongside you. As you requested Oshima Yuko is dead.”

“Good, that fool payed for interfering with my plans the last time. For now continue to work with them, and then when I give you the signal, kill Kojima and then that Grand Master. From then on, I shall rule the Storybook Lands!”

“There might be a slight problem to your plan sir...”

“What?!”

“There’s new energy coming from a new Keeper by the name of Watanabe Mayu and she has the power to destroy you completely….”

“Use every form of Heartless you can, even if it means summoning the most powerful! Start off with the Ice Titan in the Land of Cinderella.”

“Hai!”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mayu’s POV

I took her hand and ran off, dragging her along with me.

“W-What a-are you doing?!”

“As I said before, taking you somewhere safe!”

“From what?”

“Something that might-”

*Boom!*

“Oh no, not now...”

I looked and saw some of the Heartless coming this way, aiming for Yukirin. I swung my Keyblade at them and fought them off before continuing to lead Yukirin out.

“Are you okay?”

“Y-yes...” She’s blushing. So cute…

I saw the opening and the both of us jumped through it. The door immediately closed and locked.

“Are you okay, Mayu-chan?”

“Jurina? Why aren’t you--?”

“All the doors are locked. Only people with Keyblades can open them because of the Heartless, so I can’t go back.”

“What’s going on here?! Where am I?” Yuki said, more confused than ever.

“Yukirin, I...”

She suddenly held her head and was groaning in pain, leaning against the wall.

“Yukirin?!”

“M-Mayu...”

“What’s wrong?”

“Umm~ That’s because of me.” Takamina spoke up, raising her hand.

“That’s right… It’s because, Mayu saved me, I...”

“Yukirin..!”

“I remember… Mayu, I remember you!”

“I kept my part of the deal Mayu, now you keep yours.”

“Un. Arigatou, Takamina-san.”

“Well… Watanabe-san. You will not keep your promise today.” A figure walked up to us, holding Jurina hostage with a Keyblade in her hand.

“You must be Minegishi-san. Well, you must be such a traitor to do this to an innocent young girl, like Jurina.”

“Of course I am, my Lord wants me to destroy you all.” She said as she opened the book to Yuki’s world with her Keyblade and hopped in.

“Oh, no you don’t,” I unlocked the same door and when I was about to hop in I said, “Protect Yukirin for me. If I don’t come back then you’ll know what had happened.”

“Mayu, no!” Yuki suddenly grabbed my hand and ended up falling with me. The door had closed and the portal disappeared.

“Yukirin..!”

“I already lost you once, Mayu. I don’t want to be separated from you again!”

“Yuki it’s too dangerous for you to be here! Not only might I die, but you and this world might get destroyed!”

“Are, are? Watanabe-san you will die by my hand, Ice Titan, attack her!”

I heard a large roar and as I was about to prepare against a large brute, a woman about the same height as me came to my side, also with a Keyblade at hand.

“I’m Watanabe Miyuki, it’s very nice to meet you Mayu-san~”

“N-Nice to meet you.. Miyuki-san.”

“Now let’s kick some Titan ass~”

[Ruka Kikuchi]

Mayu’s POV

“Come at me!” Miyuki said as she stood on top of the Ice Titan’s shoulder.

It furiously roared as Miyuki stabbed it in the shoulder with her Keyblade. I just realised that everyone’s Keyblade looks different, but no time for that right now, I need to help Miyuki.

“No time for you Milky,” Minegishi said, as she pointed to Miyuki, “Ice Titan, attack the one on your shoulder.”

“Miyuki!” A girl with short hair ran to the scene with duel wielded Keyblades as she saw Miyuki getting thrown to the ground.

“You must be Watanabe Mayu right? I’m Yamamoto Sayaka. Please attack this thing while I go help Miyuki.”

“Okay..”

I saw Sayaka-san rush to where a large crater was in the distance, I hope it all resets afterwards. But for now, I have a large Titan to fight. I ran towards it, aiming my Keyblade at it’s legs. I cut it and caused it to fall for a few short seconds before it grabbed me.

“Now, now, that’s not good, little one~”

I have to get it off me somehow.

“Mayu!” I turned behind me and saw Haruna and Takamina.

“Haruna, go help Miyuki and Sayaka, I’ll help Mayu.”

“Un!” Haruna rushed off whilst Takamina started hacking at it’s hand.

“Ugh, T-Takamina.. W-Where’s Yukirin?” As I started to lose consciousness, I looked around for Yukirin, who was now nowhere to be seen.

“Oh God… Fuck you, Minegishi.” With one last swing of her Keyblade, the Grand Master finally was able to get the large hand off me.

“One last thing… Firaga!” As she said this, a blazing fireball was blasted toward the Ice Titan, melting it quickly.

“Go get Yuki, me, Haruna and Sayaka will look after Miyuki. Go!”

“Uh, okay!” I said as I pulled myself together, “Wait I wanna know how Miyuki is, I’m pretty sure she’s gonna have a concussion.”

I watched as Sayaka came down, holding an unconscious Miyuki.

“Sayaka!”

“Is she okay?”

“Yes. It seems she was brainwashed. She’ll be fine when she wakes up, most likely, she won’t remember anything.”

“Good. I’ll go find Yuki. Take care of her.”

I ran off as fast as I could and saw her hiding somewhere under a small cave.

“Yukirin!”

“Mayu!” She ran up and hugged me, causing the both of us to fall into the snow. “I’m glad you’re okay. I was so worried.”

“I was, too. Why did you run away?”

“I’m sorry. I’ve never been through something like this. Everything is so new to me. I just got scared and couldn’t stop myself.”

“It’s okay. I’m just happy you’re safe, Yuki.”

Even though it was freezing cold, neither of us cared. Being here, holding Yuki in my arms, and my head against her chest, I can hear her heartbeat. And it’s so warm…

[MaYukiIsLife]

Haruna’s POV

“Guys, Miyuki’s waking up!” Sayaka said as she called us from across the hall.

We all walked in and saw Miyuki slowly getting up, rubbing her eyes.

“Hey, guys… *Yawn* What happened to me?”

“Milky!” Sayaka hugged her around the neck and kissed her forehead. “Thank God, you’re okay! I was worried sick!”

“Sayanee...”

“Don’t you ever do that again, okay, lil’ sis?”

“Sis? They’re sisters?” Mayu asked.

“Yes. Sayaka’s family adopted Miyuki after her parents were killed by the Heartless.”

“Miyuki, you were hypnotized by one of the Nightmare Lords. You summoned an Ice Titan and tried to freeze and destroy the Grand Library.”

“I did? Oh God, I’m so sorry, nee-chan!”

“It’s okay. I know it wasn’t your fault.”

“Now we know Ansem has gotten stronger, and that Minegishi has betrayed us, what do we do? We can’t risk Miyuki’s power just yet.”

“I don’t mind, if it’s a last resort, if I lose my life. But it’s for the sake of everything we’ve done to protect this sacred land.”

“No! Miyuki, please I thought I almost lost you…. I don’t want to actually lose you...” Sayaka’s eyes were brimmed with tears….

“Sayanee...”

“What is it?”

“She has the capability to destroy every Heartless… At the cost of a lot of her energy or even worse her life.”

What? We can’t risk Miyuki basically killing her self for the sake of all the storybook characters but Yuko has done so already. Everything is resting on our hands and all we can do is think of a strategy to kill Ansem.

“The End Of The World… A dangerous dimension in which is the home of the Heartless and all the Nightmare Lords, including Ansem. He is the main Nightmare Lord, if we can destroy all 5 of them including him, we will stop the war.”

“Unless...”

“What, Miyuki?”

“What if we created something to counterattack my power?”

“Eh? Like what?”

“I don’t know, something to absorb that power afterwards?”

“Sugoi, nee, Milky!”

“Now all we need to think about is, what is powerful enough to absorb something like that?”

“There’s only one thing...” Takamina spoke up. I think I know what she means… “The Kingdom Hearts.”

“Kingdom Hearts?”

“Ancient, powerful crystals, all containing the hearts of the purest, strongest, bravest, and most intelligent Keepers. If we can combine all of them together, it might be powerful enough to stop Ansem.”

“How many are there?”

“7, however, now that Yuko has lost her life, there is probably an eighth one, somewhere.”

Yuuchan…

“We have to find them before the Nightmare Lords do!”

“Haha, how foolish, Takahashi Minami. How foolish of you to never realise that the 8th one is beside you.”

“S-S-Sayanee! M-Mayu i-is t-the o-one!” Miyuki said, clutching her head in pain.

“You see, when Watanabe’s family was killed, I implanted a Heartless inside of her.”

“Ha! Miyuki will always be loyal!” Sayaka was very skeptical. Her tone was very angry sounding, nothing could stop the bond of two sisters.

“N-No! S-Sayanee!”

“I’m not giving up on you!”

“P-Please, j-just l-leave me… Onee-chan!”

“NO!!! I WON’T!!!”

She summoned her Keyblade and aimed it at Miyuki’s chest.

“Sayaka! No!”

“If I have to cut that Heartless out of you myself, I WILL!!!!”

“Even if you try, I will cause as much pain for her as I have to.”

“Sayaka, don’t do it!”

“Saya..ne...”

“I’m sorry… But, I made a promise. And I’m keeping it!”

Sayaka stabbed her sword into Miyuki’s chest, piercing through her skin. The Heartless immediately latched onto her and she ripped it out of her, killing it.

Miyuki’s body slowly collapsed onto the bed, with blood gushing out of her wound.

“Miyuki!” Sayaka dropped her sword and hugged her younger sister. “I’m sorry… Miyuki...”

Just then, I saw a light. No one else saw it, but I did. It took the form of a girl…
 
Yogi Keira?

She took some of her light and put it into Miyuki before disappearing.

“..Saya..nee...”

“Miyuki?”

Miyuki’s eyes slowly opened back up and looked at her sister.

“Hey, sis...”

“Miyuki! Thank God!”

“You need to rest, Sayaka did some dangerous stuff to you. Which you SHOULDN’T do again Sayaka, even if it’s for Miyuki. For one you might kill her from blood loss and two, you might kill yourself!”

“I don’t need any of your rules anymore. If it needs to be done, it needs to be done.”

“Can we please just stop arguing! We can’t just-”

"Ah! Itai!"

"Miyuki!"

We turned around to see her collapse with a puddle of blood surrounding her. Could this be the end?

[River1721]

No, Milky don't die! 
Sayaka will literarily do anything for Milky's sake won't she . But to think that Milky's power will cause her to get killed
While reading the earlier chapters, I was getting the Kingdom Hearts vibe . Will the fanfic have a somewhat similar plot to Kingdom Hearts?

“Haha, how foolish, Takahashi Minami. How foolish of you to never realise that the 8th one is beside you.”

Mayuyu's the eighth one!? Takamina's right about Mayu, she has a special power.

Yuuchan…

Haruna.... please think of Yuko's last words to you

I'm already in deep abyss with Yuko-sama's death.. She even didn't have time to interact more with Haruna T___T And to add Milky, just makes me dead more..

If Haruna and Sayaka is going to be death too, I dunno if my heart can bear it..
