"The deeper the darkness the more dazzling the light shines!" ~Izuku Midoriya (My Hero Academia)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sunako Annaisha sat at the fountain in the town square, watching her icy blue-eyed twin Akari show the other Keyblade wielders her powers. Her Keyblade was summoned and at the tip of it were multiple rainbow-colored thread connected to a pink, crystallized heart that she had extracted from a Heartless. It was a strange power indeed, as Akari had the power to see the weaving within the hearts of anyone. Everyone flocked around her and watched her use this power with wonderment and excitement, as this power was unlike any other and nobody else possessed this power or knew where it came from. Not like Sunako was any better, either.

Sunako snapped her fingers and a shadow pooled at her feet before emerging from the darkness was a meek, Shadow Heartless. It twitched and instead of lunging at Sunako and stealing her heart, the Heartless nuzzled its head against her leg. Sunako scratched its head between its antennas affectionately. Sunako had the power, or rather talent, to tame the Heartless. So far, she only tamed the most common and lesser form of Heartless, but she's been working towards trying to tame the upper class Heartless.

For some reason, everyone seemed to avoid her, since she's has the Heartless at her side, therefore making her the "mean lady of darkness".

Hey, they said it, not her.

A shadow appeared over her and Sunako looked up to see a person of average height and build wearing a dark cloak with the hood pulled over their head, concealing their face. This was the Master of Masters, and by his side, holding his hand, was a young girl with shoulder-length curly brown hair and emerald eyes accompanied by thick eyelashes. That was Aina Mirai, supposedly the Master of Masters' younger sister.

"Good day, Sunako Annaisha," Master of Masters greeted her.

"Yo," Sunako lifted her hand up in a casual greeting while still petting her pet Heartless.

"Wow, that Heartless is really fond of you," Master of Masters eyed the Heartless in Sunako's hands.

"I tamed him," Sunako replied.

"How?" Master of Masters asked. "I'd like to know."

Sunako blinked her icy blue eyes in confusion. It was the first time someone even showed interest in her talent without running away screaming, and she would be lying if it didn't fill her with pride and excitement that for once she was noticed and asked about her talents over Akari. But, she kept her composure, even though she was smirking internally as she explained to the Master of Masters, "I'm not so sure. I just saw this Heartless lingering around and threw some food at it. Then, this buddy just began to follow me and come as soon as I call them and leave when I tell them to."

"Show me," Master of Masters stated.

Sunako clicked her tongue and the Heartless jumped out from her hands, pooling into the ground and disappearing. Master of Masters and Aina leaned forward as Sunako snapped her fingers and the Heartless reappeared, causing Aina to squeal. "Ta-da," Sunako did jazz hands, sarcasm laced in her tone as she took her Heartless and snuggled it in a hug, tucking her chin-length short hair behind her ear.

Master of Masters clapped his hands. "Fascinating!" He remarked. "You're the twin of Akari Annaisha, right?"

Sunako sighed. It was only a matter of time before someone brought up her twin, so she shouldn't be surprised, but having the attention focused on her for once was nice while it lasted. "Yup," Sunako nodded. "She has this power where she can weave, unweave and reweave these weavings she can see within a heart at will."

"Ah, I already know that," Master of Masters waved off Akari's introduction by Sunako. "I just find it quite interesting that your talent of darkness contrasts to her talent of light. It's almost fitting; a twin of light and a twin of darkness."

Sunako blinked at the revelation Master of Masters came up with when a voice spoke to her. "Sunako?" A voice said.

She turned to see Akari walking towards her, her long jet black hair bouncing with every step. "Oh! Master of Masters!" She cried, placing a hand over her heart and getting down on her knee at acknowledgement his status. "What brings you here?"

"Oh, I was just talking to Sunako here about her powers and your powers, speaking of which, you two are the most powerful Keyblade wielders at this time, at your powers only cement that fact, right?" Master of Masters asked.

"Um...yeah," the twins replied.

"You two are perfect for this task I'm going to assign," he said.

"What is it?" Akari asked.

"I want you two...to be the guardians of Kingdom Hearts," Master of Masters stated.

Akari's eyes bugged out at the news, even Sunako was taken aback by what the Master just said. "Guardians of Kingdom Hearts?!" The twins repeated.

"Yeah!" Master of Masters nodded.

"Master, if I may cut in, isn't Kingdom Hearts a beacon of light, if the fairy tales are correct," Akari jumped in. "Why would it need to be protected by guardians?"

"Because, whoever attempts to summon Kingdom Hearts, it's never for a good reason," Master of Masters replied, his tone becoming suddenly serious. "It doesn't matter what their intention originally was, if they summon Kingdom Hearts, it's never for a good reason. It doesn't matter who they are-your best friend or a fellow wielder-they must be stopped, and we need you two to protect Kingdom Hearts and stop anyone who attempt to summon it."

"I...we...understand," Akari slowly nodded but Sunako piped up.

"Wait, I didn't agree to this," Sunako interrupted.

"Sunako," Akari stared at her sister. "This is an important job, and I can't do this alone. This isn't for us or the Master, it's for everyone."

Of course Akari would say that. She was always in the good, so it shouldn't be expected for something like that to come out of her mouth. But Sunako knew if she kept refusing the job, Akari would keep arguing with her in order to accept the task. So Sunako sighed and reluctantly accepted the job, "Yes, I accept the responsibility of this job."

"Thank you," Akari nodded with gratitude.

"Sunako, Akari, I need you to give me your Keyblades to me," Master of Masters stated as he dropped Aina's hand and held both his hands out, palm up.

Akari summoned her Keyblade; Solar Eclipse. The Keyblade has a yellow shaft and a goldenrod hilt with a silver chain attached to a golden sun charm. The blade of the Keyblade matches the charm of the Keyblade and it as curved goldenrod "rays" as part of the blade for the Keyblade.

Sunako summoned her Keyblade, it's name being Lunar Eclipse. It has a metallic purple shaft with a metallic green hilt with a golden chain with a yellow crescent moon charm. The blade of the Keyblade matches the charm of the Keyblade with yellow, triangular "teeth" with golden star designs on the center of it as part of the blade.

Both wielders handed their Keyblades to the Master and he grasped both blades in his hands as he placed them together, side-by-side as a beam of light and darkness appeared in place of their Keyblades, merging together forming into one blade. The Keyblade appears to be made up of two crossing Keyblades, with the teeth facing outward. It has a green-gold filigree in a pattern slightly reminiscent of fish bones, and the blade slightly resembles a sword. The Keychain is a black and red heart that is similar to the Heartless symbol, with two same Keyblades on the blade crossed over it. The chain starts out as two separate chains that form into one.

The Master of Masters handed this Keyblade to the twins and they both took the blade, both holding the weapon in their hands. "You both will wield this new Keyblade forged by both your blades, called the 'x-blade'," he explained. "From this day forward, you two aren't just ordinary Keyblade wielders-you're both now Guardians of Kingdom Hearts; Akari being the Representative of Light and Sunako being the Representative of Darlness."

Both girls nodded at what the Master just told them, seeing the great responsibility literally just placed in their hands. The Master of Masters took Aina's hand and turned around. "I see you don't have any questions, you two are free to carry on with the rest of your day!" The Master bid them farewell.

"Wait!" Akari cried.

Both the Master and Aina stopped in their tracks and turned around. Akari knelt down in front of Aina and pulled out an eight-petaled pink flower hair clip and put into Aina's hair. "There, you little cutie!" Akari gave the girl a closed-eye smile.

Aina smiled at the gift as she touched the flower as the Master took her free hand and they both walked away. Sunako watched as the two left, with Aina still playing with the new hairpiece given to her.
