Wow, starting a NEW story. Hello, welcome to this… story! This is the sequel of my story 'The Powers Lie Within Your Heart'. If you haven't read that story, it wont make any sense…

Yes. I'll just let you read the opening chapter!

Five months… Five long months… Time passes quickly when you're thinking about the one you love. Time flies away, and before you know it, you're trapped in the memory.

The phone rang. "Mum, can you get it?" Sirhc called as her fingers danced along the controller's buttons. After the phone rang a few more times, the blonde sighed, paused her game (which was Kingdom Hearts, funnily enough), and trotted toward the phone which was hanging on its port. She picked it up and held it to her ear. "Hello?"

A walking ghost… Always thinking of the past, never of the present.

"Is that you Sirhc? Or is it Alegna?" A voice answered.

"It's Sirhc…"

Feeling loveless… Is that the emptiness I've come to know?

"Oh, good. It's me, Aly!"

There was a silence. "Um, okay. What do you want?"

"Oh," Aly paused. Aly was one of Sirhc's best friends, and was also obsessed with Kingdom Hearts, like Sirhc herself was. "I, ah, need you to come over,"

"But I can't. My mum's cleaning today and can't drive me anywhere,"

Excuses, excuses… Why did you leave the one you love for this emptiness?

"It's an emergency!" Aly pleaded. Sirhc could hear some shrill, familiar screams coming from the background of the phone call.

"I'll be right there," She quickly said, raising her eyebrows.

"Okay, goo-" Sirhc hung up and decided to walk, even if that did mean exercise.

Does this mean the five past months I've been dead?

After a quick walk to Aly's house, Sirhc knocked on the door, but didn't wait for it to be opened by someone. She knew everyone that lived in the house, and knew that they didn't mind her at all. "Aly?" She called hoping to get a response. "Well of course I'll get a response, she wouldn't have left here for no reason when she told me to come over…" Her thoughts were interrupted when some voices blew out from the lounge room.

"We're in here!" Aly yelled.

"We're?" Sirhc found herself wandering into the room, and before she knew it, she was tackled to the ground.

"Sirhc!" A distant yet very familiar voice screamed into her ear.

"Say wha- Who the hell…?!" Sirhc struggled managing to push whoever it was off. After moments of shock, Sirhc found herself looking at a memory. "So… ra…?"

Sora bounced happily, displaying a huge grin for all to see. "Yeah! It's me! Sirhc! Am I glad to see you!" He pulled her onto her feet, and into another hug. "But someone else will be happier…"

Before Sirhc could protest, she was pushed backwards into someone. "What the hell, Sora? Sorry, I-" Her words were cut off as she turned around and realized who it was. "C-Cloud?!"

Cloud smiled and pulled her into a hug. "Sirhc! It's good to see you again…"

"Yeah, you know, its weird how I'm smart when I want to be," Aly bragged, blowing on her nails and wiping them off on her shirt.

"What do you mean by that?" Sirhc asked, a little confused.

"I got a screw driver and re-programmed the console we made, reversing the effect and sending these guys here the same way we went there," Aly answered, nodding and holding up a finger in a know-it-all way.

Sirhc was speechless. She was so speechless, that she began to gawk.

"That's what I thought at first," A voice wandered out from behind them. "Until I gave up trying to figure out how she did it,"

They all turned to see Neru sitting on the couch behind them. Neru was also one of Sirhc's best friends, and Aly's. She smiled. "But who cares about all that technical stuff? Not mee!"

"When did you get here?" Sirhc asked.

"Ten minutes ago,"

"How did you get here before me? You live 20 minutes away…"

"Aly called me a long time ago,"

Sirhc turned to Aly and shook a fist at her angrily. After looking around, she wondered aloud. "Hey… Where are the others? You know… Axel, Ansem…?"

"Guess what!" Neru practically yelled. "Ansem isn't Ansem anymore! He's turned back to Riku!"

"Say what?!" Sirhc spurted. This was way too much information for her at one time.

Just on cue, both Axel and Riku walked in, both waving to the newcomer. "Yo." Axel greeted, before walking over to Aly.

Sirhc sighed and sat down quickly. "This is way too much for me to handle…"

Cloud sat next to her. "Are you glad to see me?"

"Yeah… but… why… Why the hell is Sora wearing leggings?!"

Questioning the one you love. The world… soon to be totally eclipsed… When the time comes… will you be ready to live? Or will you remain in the shadows?

Line by line, it's not too late.

We're biding time…

Yes, I didn't want to make this first chapter too long, seeing as it is an opening chapter. And I tried to put a little bit of randomness in there, but I think I failed... n.n;

I really don't like it… But it will get better, I promise! I needed to show and explain a little in this, and the same goes for next chapter. There will be explanations next chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Kingdom Hearts characters, Sirhc and Aly. I also don't own the last two lines of this chapter ('Line by line, it's not too late, we're biding time'). Those lines belong to Closure in Moscow, which are in 'Breathing Underwater'.

Thank you for reading this opening crappy chapter,
