Thinking of you, where ever you are…
We pray for our sorrows to end,
And hope that our hearts will blend,
Now I will step forward to realize this wish…
And who knows…
Starting a new journey may not be so hard,
Maybe it's already begun…
There are so many worlds,
But they share the same sky --


One sky, one destiny…

Fighting Darkness

Chapter One:

A Regular Day On Destiny Islands

Usagi was standing on the beach, playing with her wooden sword. Swinging it around hitting various part of the sand coated ground. She wore an outfit that's completely black, which is stupid when you're on an island with the sun beating down on you. It includes a black short sleeved shirt with black caperees up to her knees (sp?). She never liked sandals, so she wore black tennis shoes instead. Usagi sighed. "I'm bored..." She started to play with a shell on a beach, poking it with her wooden sword. Her blonde hair reflected the sun's rays beautifully.

SNORE.

Usagi look down beside her. "Sora!" She kneeled beside him. "Wake up! Your snoring!" She nudged him hard in his side. That little trick always worked on him very well.

"Whoa!" He bolted up and looked at her with eyes that were the same color as the ocean. His cinnamon colored hair was sticking in every direction know to man. She was glaring at him. The only time she did that was when he did or said something stupid. "What?" Sora asked, wondering what he did this time.

"Did you get your things for the raft yet!" Usagi asked, still glaring at him.

Sora looked confused. "Huh?" Usagi sighed and rolled her mysterious blue eyes. This boy is hopeless...

"Sora!" said another voice.

Usagi looked to the direction of the voice. A red haired girl around fourteen jogged up to them. Her hair barely touched her shoulders. She has beautiful sky blue eyes. "Hey Kairi." Usagi said, greeting her friend.

"Hey." Kairi smiled. The two girls have a special connection. Even though they are not related in any way, Kairi sees herself as an older sister to Usagi. It's been that way since they both arrived at the island. "Is Sora being a lazy bum again?"

Usagi nodded. "Falling asleep on the beach." Kairi rolled her eyes in the same fashion Usagi did.

"Sora. How are we suppose to visit other worlds if you don't do your part?" Usagi pointed out.

"Uhhh...Didn't you two come from the same world?" Sora asked, avoiding the earlier question.

Kairi shrugged and walked closer to the small waves on the beach. "I don't remember anything."

"I was how old when I got here? Three? You think I can remember something?" Usagi crossed her arms over her chest. She never likes to talk about her past since she couldn't even remember anything. Not her family, not her house, not her friends… Nothing at all.

Sora looked down. He had forgotten that this was a very sensitive issue for her. "Sorry..."

/.../Flashback/.../

A young girl was crying in a small damp cave with a few drawings on the stone walls. She was wearing a little pink dress and a ribbon in her hair to match. She had little white shoes on her feet. "I want Mommy and Daddy..." She choked.

"I'm telling you Riku! There's a monster in here. Can't you hear it?" said a boy's voice. His voice scared the little girl. She quickly ran behind the biggest rock that was available in the small space.

"Calm down Sora," said a different voice. "It could be the wind blowing, or it could be..." Two young boys walked in the cave. The little girl watched them form behind the rock. "It's just the wind…" The taller boy concluded as the wind blew. He look like he was around six years old. He closed his eyes to concentrate. "Listen…"

Sora shook his head. "It wasn't that, Riku!" He walked in a little further to look around the cave.

Riku sighed and shook his head. "Sora, there are no such thing as monsters." Riku is very mature for his young age. Being older, he feels like he should look after Sora. Therefore, he no longer believes in monsters, Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy, etc.

The little girl moved around the rock to remain out of Sora's sight, but she placed herself in Riku's.

Riku noticed her and blinked. "Hey," he said, making her jump. She quickly turned around and looked at him. "Who are you?"

"..." She just stared at him.

Sora looked at Riku. Who was he talking to? He walked up far enough looked behind the rock. He smiled when he saw her. "Hi! I'm Sora and this is my friend Riku! What's your name?"

"..." She said nothing.

Sora's smile faded when she didn't respond. Riku raised an eyebrow. "Can you talk?" She nodded. "Then, what's your name?"

"Usagi..." she answered in a small, shaky voice. Sora smiled again when she spoke. He thought she didn't like them or something. He hates it when people don't like him for unknown reasons. He turned to look at Riku, but he wasn't in the same spot. He looked around and saw him at the back of cave standing in front of a door.

Wait… A door?

"When did this get here?" Riku said, asking Sora's question unsaid question. He examined it, trying to find a way to open the door. No knob, no handle. Nothing. Riku grabbed the edges and pulled. It wouldn't budge. After several tries he gave up. "It wont open."

Sora looked at Usagi. He saw that she was leaning against the rock. She seemed to be more relaxed now. "Should we take her to the mayors house?" Sora asked, not looking at Riku. "That new kid is there. They might know each other."

Riku nodded and walked back over to him. "Maybe."

Sora held out his hand. "C'mon. Let's get you outta here." Usagi looked at for it a while. Finally, she took his hand and they walked out together with Riku following behind.

/.../End of Flashback/.../

"Soooo," Sora said, bringing Usagi back to the present. "You guys want to see your world again?"

"I wouldn't mind." Kairi said without much thought behind it.

"I would like to...I might see my parents." Usagi brought her knees up to her chest.

Sora looked down, feeling guilty. He did it again. He looked over at his friend. "You'll find them." She said nothing. She just gazed out into the distance in deep thought. Sora sighed and Kairi stared at her with a sad look on her face. Oh great! Now Kairi's sad too! "I would love to see your world, Kairi." Sora said, attempting to cheer her up. "Along with any other worlds out there. I want to see them all."

Kairi nodded and smiled. "So what are we waiting for!"

"Hey!" Usagi once again snapped back to reality and looked up to the source of the voice. "Are you guys forgetting about me?" An older boy walked pass Usagi and threw the log that he was holding up and it landed on Sora. Usagi laughed, pointing at him. Sora pouted, but on the inside he was happy that she was laughing. Riku walked up to Kairi. "You and your 'little sister' are being just as lazy as he is!"

Usagi took offense to that comment. "Hey!" She stood up and walked over to him. She stood only a few inches away from him with her arms crossed. Riku raised an eyebrow as he looked down at her. "I got my stuff already!"

Riku laughed. Usagi always played around like that. Because she's more than half a head shorter than him, it looked funny when she stood up to him like that. Riku poked her right on the forehead. "Outta my way shorty…" Using his finger, he playfully pushed her aside.

Usagi laughed as Riku sat down next to Sora. He looked tired from working on the raft. Perfect. "So," she started with a smirk, "you guys wanna race?"

"What?" Riku looked at her like she was crazy. "Are you kidding?"

"No way..." Sora whined as he fell back on the sand.

Usagi looked at Kairi and nodded. Kairi giggled as the younger female ran ahead. "GO!" Sora and Riku took off running after Usagi with Kairi following behind. The blond smiled to herself. They hate it when she gives herself a head start. They took no time to catch up. Usagi smiled to herself as she picked up the pace. The boys just couldn't turn down a challenge.

"I won!" Sora cheered. He looked over his shoulder at Usagi with a big smile. "Even though you had a head start." She crossed her arms over her chest and stuck her tongue out at Sora.

Kairi giggled at her actions. She walked over to a door that lead to the other side of the island. That's where the raft was located. Kairi placed her hand on the door ready to push it open. "Sora," she said without looking at him. "Do remember what you're suppose to get?"

Sora stared blankly at the back of her head. He scratched the back of his head in thought.

"He doesn't know…" Riku whispered to Usagi.

"Uhh..…" Sora thought for another moment, scratching the back of his head. Some time passed till he finally gave up. "What was it again?"

Usagi laughed quietly, and Riku shook his head. "What did I tell you?"

Kairi shook her head as well. "Jeez." She turned around to face him. She seemed to be a little annoyed. Honestly, who wouldn't be if you had to repeat the same thing seven times. "Listen carefully… Two logs, one cloth, and one rope. Bring the stuff back here." She leaned against the frame of the door. "We can't do anything until you bring everything back here."

Usagi poked Sora in the arm, gaining his attention. "Want me to help?"

Before Sora could say 'yes', or even nod, Riku cut him off with a sharp gesture using his arm. "No way! It's his responsibility."

"But I wanna finish the raft today!" Usagi argued.

Riku put his hands on her shoulders. "And we will, once Sora gets what he needs to get."

Usagi shrugged his hands off. Being the rebel that she is, she beckoned Sora to follow her so they could collect the items together.

Riku watched them leave and shook his head. She never listens…

/…/

The raft was nearly complete. The basic body of the raft was big enough to fit the four of them and any other necessities such as food, water, clothes, etc.. In the center of the raft stood a wooden pole about fourteen feet tall. Tied across the pole was another wooden pole about half it's size in length. The only thing missing is the cloth.

"Are you done yet?" Riku asked looking up slightly at the girl that's sitting on his shoulders. His hands were holding her legs, securing her so she doesn't fall.

Usagi looked down, annoyed. "No! Now let me do this!" She continued to wrap some rope around the pole and the cloth, tying the cloth in place.

Riku observed her actions. When she finally completed her task, Riku smiled. "Great. Now, get off. Your not exactly light…"

Usagi turned red not from embarrassment, but from anger. Balancing on Riku shoulders, Usagi performed a handstand and leaped off, pushing him back in the process. He landed in the shallow part of the ocean with a big splash. Sora and Kairi bust out laughing. Sora was laughing so hard that he fell off the box he was sitting on.

Riku sat up and brushed his wet hair off of his face. He smiled, placed arms on the soggy ground behind him, and leaned on them. "Forgot who I was dealing with… Ms. Gymnast."

Usagi smirked at him. "You know it." Then she looked at Sora, who was just now catching his breath after laughing so hard. "Get your sword, Sora. I have a score to settle with you."

He looked at her and blinked. What score? He suddenly remembered the race and smiled. "Your just a sore loser…" He sat-up and looked at her. He can tell that she was waiting for some kind of an answer. "Fine…"

/…/

Usagi swung her sword at Sora. He ducked and countered with a swing of his own, hitting her in the side. She winced and took a few steps back. Sora smiled to himself. Victory was in sight! He lunged at her with his sword pointing to her stomach. Usagi dodged, and when Sora was close enough, she placed her hand on chest and push him off the island and into the ocean.

SPLASH!

Riku shook his head. He sat on the bridge Indian style, watching them. "That was a cheap trick 'Sagi." He said low enough for no one to hear. Or so he thought.

Usagi looked over at him, hearing what he said. "What was that Riku?"

"Do you have sonic hearing? Or maybe this island is wired…" He looked under the bridge to look for any 'wires'. Usagi rolled her eyes and shook her head.

Sora climbed up the latter and once again stood on the small island, wringing out his jumpsuit. "Hey Riku…"

"What?" he responded still looking for 'wires'.

Usagi shook her head again. "You're over doing it…"

"Oh fine." Riku sat-up. "What is it, Sora?"

Sora stopped messing with his clothes, knowing that nothing more could be done with them. "Remember that time, when I lied to your Mom so you wouldn't be in trouble for coming home late?"

"Yeah."

"You said that you owe me."

Riku nodded. "Yeah."

"Well…" Sora looked at Usagi, who looked back at him with an eyebrow raised. "It's pay back time."

"You want me to throw 'Sagi in the water?" Riku asked in false disbelief. "I'm shocked." He stood up and walked over to Usagi.

Usagi backed away. "Riku, don't you dare…"

Riku continued to walk toward her. "You have no idea how much it pains me to do this." He smiled, which meant he was obviously lying. Usagi tried to run pass him, but he grabbed her arm and pulled her in a bear hug. "Brace yourself." He picked her up and walked over to the side.

Usagi struggled. "No! Riku, let me go!"

"Okay." He did what she requested and let her go. Probably not where she wanted, but she didn't classify that.

SPLASH!

Riku looked over at Sora. He had a huge smile on face when he heard the blonde hit the water. "Are we even?" Riku asked ignoring the girls death threats.

"You bet."

/…/

Kairi, Sora, and Usagi sat on the Poupu tree in the said order, watching the sunset. Riku stood on the ground next to Usagi, leaning against the Poupu tree. He was too watching the sunset. It was quiet. Too quiet for Sora's tastes. "So...," he said breaking the silence, "Kairi and Usagi's home is out there somewhere?"

Riku figured the question was directed him, so he answered. "Could be," he replied with a shrug. "We'll never know by staying here."

"How far could a raft take us?" Usagi asked swinging her legs like a child would when their feet can't reach the floor.

Another shrug. "Who knows. If we have to, we'll think of something else." Usagi nodded, satisfied with the answer.

Kairi leaned forward some, looking at Riku. "Suppose there are other worlds out there. What would you do when you get there?" she asked.

Riku shrugged for the third time in a row. "I haven't really thought about it."

"I would explore!" Usagi cried making everyone jump. She looked at them and laughed nervously. "Sorry…"

"I know what would do," Kairi said in a sing-song voice.

"What?" Usagi asked.

"I would meet some boys," she replied with her normal voice.

"Huh?" Sora and Riku said at the same time looking at her. She just smiled.

"Oh, on second thought… I'll meet some boys and then I would explore." Usagi said, smiling as well.

"Hold it! Slow down!" Riku exclaimed.

"Yeah! Wait a sec!" Sora said.

Kairi giggled and jumped off the tree. Usagi repeated her actions. Unlike Kairi she was able to hold in her laughter. Picking on the guys was so much fun. "Let me give you some pointers about guys, 'Sagi." Usagi nodded and followed Kairi to the bridge. She jogged a bit to catch up then she walked beside at the same pace. "First of all, you can't be beating a guy at everything. You have to make them feel like they're good at anything." Usagi nodded.

Just then, Sora and Riku ran by them. Riku gave Usagi a little shove as he ran. She glared at their backs and started to run after them. "Usagi! Don't you remember what I just said?"

"Theses guys are different!" she yelled over her shoulder, still chasing them.

Kairi smiled as she watched her run. She sure has changed a lot since she arrived on the island. At first, she was a shy, quiet girl. But now, she's loud and outspoken.

"Riku! Put me down!" Usagi yelled. Riku had the kicking, struggling girl slung over his shoulder. "If you don't put me down, I swear…!"

Kairi laughed. Yup, she's definitely loud.
