I don't own kingdom hearts or any of the characters for that matter… :( The story is based off of the kingdom hearts series, the whole overall plot line is somewhat the same as in Kingdom Hearts 2, but with some changes, extra adventures and plots along the way to the finish (such as Roxas and Namine being there). This chapter is where some of the characters are introduced and some of the plot line. The story here doesn't take place at the beginning of kingdom hearts 2. It starts in on its own place. The story does not follow the exact lines as the game. You will see members of the organization alive that were killed off in Chain of Memories or other characters that supposedly died, there. The reason for people still being here and other unexplained plots will be revealed later on in the story. If you were to choose a spot it starts off toward the game, it would be about midpoint. [basically, they do know about the organization and what they are up to, but not too much else. it will be explained!] Enjoy! ^_^

What to know for this chapter on: (this may help later in the story to know) Since Sora is connected to Roxas, they can talk to each other in their heads (kinda like they did in the game) they can each do it to kairi and namine as well. Only them because they are connected, plus they have nobodies. They can also track each other if necessary or block it.

Sora laid down on his bed, putting his arms behind his head, smiling to himself. So much had happened to him since he woke up in Twilight Town just awhile ago. He got to start another adventure. New worlds, the Organization, meeting the gang at Twilight Town, finding his friends…

But suddenly everything had seemed to quiet down for awhile. Sure, there were heartless here and there, and he did his usual check-up rounds on other worlds, but nothing too serious had been happening lately...

Sora quickly snapped out of thought as a large black portal appeared in his room by his door. He quickly jumped up on his feet and stared at it, "Hey what are you-?"

As he took a step closer he heard a familiar laugh and saw Roxas step out, smiling."Are you still not used to that?" he teased.

Sora relaxed and slumped back down on his bed."Not yet," he said honestly. Sora was glad he met his other, Roxas. The kid seemed like a tragedy with what he told happened at the beginning and was kind of quiet at first, but he opened back up a little once Sora introduced him to the gang at Twilight Town.

"But I don't like how you and Riku can always pop in and out as you please. You can at least knock or something. Plus, portals are cheating. I don't see why you guys always seem to have to use them. Plus, I don't exactly trust any strange dark spirally thing."

"You're just jealous that you can't do it." Sora rolled his eyes. Like he hadn't heard that one before. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Believe what you want."

"Nice recovery," Roxas said while stepping over a few piles of Sora's dirty clothes. Sora laughed at his weak attempt. "Are you ready to go back? Kairi, Riku and the others are already there waiting."

"Go where-? Oh, right, the Usual Spot. Okay sure, I'll go get the gummi-" Roxas stopped Sora, who was heading straight for the door, by making a portal appear only a few feet away. Roxas shook his head. "We are not gonna go in that tiny little thing. In ya go." He gestured to the swirling dark cloud.

"Oh, shut it. The gummi ship work's okay." He didn't like it when he talked about his gummi ship. He didn't like it all that much but couldn't bash it either, seeing it was all he really had to get from place to place. Roxas motioned again for him to come, then walked inside. Sora looked up at the ceiling then back at the spiraling blackness Roxas disappeared into. "Okay, fine…" he took a small breath and walked inside.

Sora timidly took a step forward. It was pitch black and he had no idea where to go. He groped around in the darkness, trying to find a wall, a door- anything. "Roxas?" He took another baby-step and was immediately jerked back hard, into the other direction. "Hey-!" Sora felt the ground underneath him disappear and he fell down. He faintly heard the sound of people gasping and then suddenly crashed onto a cold, hard floor. He looked up to see Kairi extending her hand to him.

He looked up and smiled. "I meant to do that,"

"Sure you did. You scared everyone pretty bad," she laughed.

"Sorry about that." He looked back down and took her hand. "Thanks," he muttered, as she helped him up. He quickly scanned the room. Practically everyone was there. Pence, and Olette were sitting on the couch, leaning over to see who dropped in. They gave Sora a wave and went back to finishing their ice cream. Riku, who entered into the Usual Spot just seconds after Sora, was slightly leaning against the entrance. He gave Sora a small wave. "Nice," he said, smiling slightly. Sora moved on.

Hayner went back to throwing some darts with Roxas, who gave Sora a weak smile.

"Guess I must have tripped," Sora said with a small laugh.

"Guess so," Roxas replied, chuckling. Sora shot him a look. You… Sora thought to himself. Sora heard Roxas's voice in his head. What? It's no big deal, it was just an accident. You'll get used to it soon enough. Sora slightly jumped. He forgot that Roxas was able to contact him and wasn't all that used to the whole idea either.

I'm not sure I want to get used to it, to be honest… Sora shook his head. "Sooo... how's everyone doing?" Hayner walked over and pulled the extra darts from the board. "A lot better when you guys started to show up. Nothing ever seems to happen here when you guys aren't around."

"That's not true Hayner," Olette frowned. "School's just started earlier this week so there is plenty to do." Hayner lazily threw a dart and groaned.

"Aah! Stop bringing up school, I swear, I'm gonna suffer from depression if I have to keep worrying about that! Man, I wish it was still summer…" He folded his arms and sat down on the heater.

"Sora." Riku said, walking up to him.

"Hm?"

"The King wanted us to meet him and DiZ-" (Roxas groaned) "-at the mansion. I'm not sure what it is exactly but it has to do with the Organization."

Sora grinned. "Okay, let's go then! Who does he want to see?"

"You, Roxas, Kairi and Namine."

"You too?"

Riku nodded, "Uh-huh." Sora, Kairi and Roxas got up and started to head out the door.

Hayner quickly jumped up and followed behind Sora. "Hey, what about me? Can I come? There's nothing to do here."

Sora turned around. "Uhh.. not this time Hayner, sorry," he said apologetically. It was true. It had been awhile since anything had really turned up around here, or any of the other worlds. The Org. had been kinda quiet lately, giving Sora and his friends time to relax. And whenever something did happen, Hayner wanted so much to be part of the action. "Maybe next time. How bout you go get some struggle bats out and we can struggle later, or bug Seifer?"

Hayner folded his arms and looked off to the side. "Yeah I guess.. okay, see ya." Sora nodded and headed back with the rest of the group. Riku turned and grinned back at Sora. "So, you ready for another adventure?"

Sora gave Riku a thumbs up. "You bet."

Okay, so that's the introductory chapter! Not too much has happened yet, but you get to see a few of the characters. What to look forward to: more of the plot revealed, Axel, and more. Feel free to review, any input would help a lot. Thanks! :)
