*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I sat there on the couch with King Mickey as Ms. Aina was preparing us some tea. She returned from the kitchen, holding a tray with three tea cups filled with steaming tea. Aina was dressed in a long, white and red robe with wide sleeves. She handed one of the teacups to me. I blew the steaming liquid, the cloud of steam blowing in the direction of my breath and sipped the light brown liquid, the spicy flavor filling me and warming my insides.

As she handed one to King Mickey, he shook his head, politely rejecting her offer of tea. "Gosh, I love to stay, but I gotta leave. Sakura, Ms. Aina will show you everything you need to know." King Mickey got up and left, leaving Ms. Aina and I sitting in the living room with teacups. Aina sat down on the couch next to me, sipping her tea. I drank my tea until the cup was empty and set it back onto the saucer.

Well. This got awkward. I decided to cut to the chase. "Um, Ms. Aina?" I asked.

She smiled. "Please, just Aina," she informed.

"Aina...King Mickey said you knew everything about my past...even the stuff I've forgotten...my birth parents...and where my powers come from," I summarized what the King said Aina could tell me.

She set her teacup down, empty as well. "Yes, yes, it's true," she mumbled as she looked up at me. "Sakura..." she started.

"Yes?" I leaned in, excited about what she was going to say next. I mean, come on! It's not every day that you meet the person who claims that they know your past and everything you lost.

She shook her head. "You wouldn't understand if you don't get the story behind it." She sighed.

"Huh? Get what?" I asked.

"You'll see," she stood up, walking away. I got up and followed her closely.

She stood by a bookshelf. "Sakura?" She asked me. "How much of the Keyblade War do you know about?"

"Huh?" I replied, thinking about what she just said to me. "Oh...I know that people fought for the light, which resulted in the whole war and lot of people died and lost their hearts in the battle. And then, the true Kingdom Hearts came out and and it was consumed by the darkness. The X-Blade was shattered into twenty pieces-seven of light, thirteen of darkness."

"Yes...of course," Aina sighed as she began to trace her fingers over the book spines, searching for something. "Of course they'd sugarcoat the entire story. Only stick to the main point and leave out the nitty-gritty details so nobody will ever know how unforgiving, how heartbreaking, and how bloody this war was."

"Well, how would you know they sugarcoated the war?" I raised a brow as I crossed my arms, almost challenging Aina. "The Keyblade War happened a long time ago, way beforeany of us were born!"

"Because I lived through it," Aina spat coldly as she grabbed the book she wanted.

"...What?" I responded.

"Here it is," she sighed as she opened the book and began to flip through the pages. The book was dark blue and had silver engravings all the cover, spine, and back cover. The pages were covered in text written in some language I didn't understand.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"This is..." Ainna took a deep breath. "The Book of Prophecy."

Aina placed the book on her lap and began to read, "Long ago, during The Age of Fairy Tales, in the small world of Daybreak Town, lived eight people. There were five Foretellers of five Unions; Foreteller Ira of the Unicornis Union, Foreteller Aced from the Ursus Union, Foreteller Invi of the Anguis Union, Foreteller Gula from the Lepardos Union, and Foreteller Ava from the Vulpes Union. Each one of them wore a mask over their faces. Foreteller Ira wore a unicorn mask, Foreteller Aced wore a bear mask, Foreteller Invi wore a snake mask, Foreteller Gula wore a leopard mask, and Foreteller Ava wore a fox mask. Then, there was the Master of Masters, or 'M.O.M.'as his little sister Aina like to call him, his apprentice Luxu."

The room around us began to change. We were in a small village in a plaza made up of multicolored tiles with a fountain, the sun rising over the village. Young Keyblade warriors in training ran around, happy. I looked around with interest. I held out my hand to wave at a Keyblade warrior but they walked right through me. I gasped and began to feel myself, wondering what had happened. "You can't interfere with the scenery around us ," Aina laughed at my confusion. "It's a story from the past."

Aina held up the book and began to read off of it. "One day, the young Aina dreamt about the future of the Keyblade War. Scared, she ran to her older brother for advice. But he told her not to worry and sit and stand to see what happens. Then, he began to talk to the other Foretellers and their role in the upcoming war. He made seven copies of the Book of Prophecy and gave them to all of his apprentices. Then, he and Luxu disappeared, never to be seen again. Even they're whereabouts are not known today."

Then, I saw the five Foretellers gathered in a room that I assumed that they used to hold meetings, appearing to be arguing. A younger version of Aina was there also lookeing very concerned at what was going on, holding her hands up calm everyone down. There was a feeling of high tension in that sight in front of me. "The five Foretellers, now aware of a war looming, began to anxiously wait to see what would happened." Aina continued. "Tension began to grow between the Union leaders as they waited for signs of treason so they could stomp it out in hopes of delaying the war. Unfortunately, that meant that the slightest sign of trouble caused them to argue with each other."

The next scene showed some of the Foretellers fighting each other with their Keyblades. "Some Foretellers began to question the Master's teachings," Aina said. "Some wanted him to come back. Some thought that they could take care of it themselves and began to fight each other."

The next scene showed Aina running up to a women. She had black hair and they stood, talking to each other while in the distance, I saw another woman with short black hair, hoding onto a Shadow Heartless, subtly eavesdropping on the two. "Aina grew concerned of the constant fighting and turned to the Guardians of Kingdom Hearts for help," Aina stated. "Akari offered advice while Sunako  sat back and watched what happened."

I saw the five Foretellers gathering in a desert with dark thunderclouds above them. They raised their Keyblade and pointed at each other, making the young Keyblade warriors charge and fight each other. It became a dog eat dog world out there. Everyone was each other's enemies. "The five Foretellers fought each other until the very bitter end, but no one survived," Aina sighed, her voice beginning to crack a little bit.

I saw Akari and Sunako arguing as she held the x-blade in her hand. Sunako then ripped the blade in half, forming two Keyblades as she tossed one to Akari and began fighting each other. Sunako shot something at Akari and knocked her down, knocking her unconscious. Aina then jumped into the battle and fought Sunako in Akari's place. "Sunako spoke of her meddling behind the scenes before the war, which angered Akari and Aina," she spoke. "The two of them clashed, but Akari was knocked out and Aina took her place and continued the fight. The duel ended when Aina struck Sunako, and she opened a dark portal, disappearing inside it. Aina took her injured mentor and went off to heal the both of them and hoped it would be a safe spot as the world fell apart around them."

I watched Aina take Akari into the room that strongly resembled the place where Sora slept to restore his memories. Aina placed Akari in a similar lotus-shaped pod where Sora slept in and the doors closed as she sat got into another pod, closing the door behind her and closing her eyes as the door shut.

Aina closed the book and looked at me. "And that's the end?" I nervously asked.

Aina shook her head. "No," she sadly replied. "It's not."

"Huh? What do you mean?" I questioned.

"The fated land will be the battleground for a great war. Light will see defeat and expire, while darkness prevails evermore," Aina recited. "Xehanort is trying to repeat history and forge the x-Blade. But...haven't you realized something else?"

"No," I pleaded. "Aina please tell me."

Aina got up and went into another room, and she returned with something in her hand. She handed to me and I looked at it. It was Akari, holding a baby, no older than a few months, as she smiled into the camera. The baby looked content, but they weren't smiling. I saw Akari had jet-black hair and icy blue eyes...like me. "Akari, had weaving powers," Aina explained. "She could weave, unweave, and reweave hearts. That's why she was nicknamed 'Weaver of Hearts'. You share her powers, right? Don't you see Sakura? You are her daughter."

"W-Wait, WHAT?!" I screamed. "So...the former guardian Kingdom Hearts is my mother?!"

"Yes," Aina nodded.

"So...my weaving powers are from her? Not from this necklace I carry?" I pulled my blue heart necklace from inside my shirt.

"Correct. It's just a good luck charm Akari used to wear when she was younger." Kimi explained.

I started to sway and I laughed nervously. "Wow...I mean," I stammered. "This is all a shock to me..."

"That's understandable," Aina laughed.

I thought about what Aina had just told me, how this could be useful for the upcoming clash with Xehanort. It hit me. "I know what to do!" I cried.

"Do what?" Aina asked me.

"I'll unweave Kingdom Hearts!" I stated proudly.

"You WHAT?!" Aina yelled.

"I'll unweave Kingdom Hearts!" I repeated myself. "I've done it before-well, sort of, with the Organization XIII when they abducted me-but if I was able to do it before, I can do it again, right? All I have to do is arrive at the battle, wait for Xehanort to nearly complete Kingdom Hearts, have Sora and the others fight him in order to distract him and I'll unweave it myself!"

Kimi began to laugh dryly. "Oh, you are so naïve Sakura..." she muttered.

"It'll work!" I insisted. "Well, in theory, it should work."

"Yes, in THEORY," Kimi emphasized with quotes. "You might have your mother's powers, but you don't possess enough to even affect a fraction of the actual Kingdom Hearts. Not even your mother could even affect Kingdom Hearts with her own powers, and she's much more powerful and has more control over her own powers than you do. Trust me-when I say I lived through the war, I lived through it. And I got to see Kingdom Hearts myself in all its glory. It is a powerful force that cannot be taken apart by your weaving powers. And believe me, if you just figured that, Xehanort would have years ago and would've gotten rid of you a long time ago or corrupt you so you would fight for his cause."

I slumped in my seat, sighing, "Well, it's still worth a shot." I placed my plan into consideration as I stuck it in the back of my mind. "Anyways, can you tell me what will happen in the upcoming clash?"

Aina laughed dryly, "I can't, unfortunately. Yes, I've looked far into the future to see what will happen in the upcoming battle, but...believe it or not...the Keyblade War that I saw myself traumatized me to the point where I placed some sort of mental block on myself. What I mean by that is that when if I see a Keyblade battle like that again in the future, I can't really see it, but I can see it at the same time. Basically, I can only see parts of it. I know that there will be a lot of fighting, though."

"Yeah, like I never knew THAT," I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, that wasn't obvious," Aina smirked.

"Well, Aina, it was very nice to meet you, but I have to leave," I stood up and stretched.

"No, wait," Aina stopped me.

"What's wrong?" I asked,

"I made a promise to your mother before she died," Aina told me. "I promise her that I'll take care of you. When you disappeared sixteen years ago...I lived with that regret for the whole time you were gone. Now that you're back, it's time for me to carry out my promise and help you on this final journey. Do you understand?

"Yes, I do," I slowly nodded.

"Good," Aina smiled at me. "Now, we have to meet your best friend, Sora, right?"

"Yes," I replied.

Aina pulled out her Keyblade and pointed it at the doorway. A portal appeared, swirling with purple and blue. I stepped back, surprised and a little hesitant. Ainalaughed. "It's an old way how we used to travel back," she explained. "No one really uses this method anymore. Actually,mthey don't teach this anymore so no one knows. It definitely safer then traveling by a Dark Corridor which summons darkness to take you to places which can affect you in the long run. Better than using the Gummi Ship for sure, because you don't need to fight the Heartless on your way to the world. I know where Sora is, don't worry. This portal will take us to him. Let's go!"

I nodded and stepped into the portal and was followed by Aina.
