Author's note: This story is set after the end of KH, but with a different take on that secret trailer you can get at the end of KH. I'm just going to play stupid and pretend that "Where's Sora?" line never happened—even after watching that clip a thousand times, I'm confuzzled over who the hell that is. I have about 4 different ideas, but all of them are kinda weird. Besides, this is my story, and I'm using my creative license damnit –grins-
--------------------------------------------------------------------
It's almost been nine years.
Nine years since I left my home. Nine years since I set out to search for my friends. Nine years since I closed the door.
… when the door was closed, the worlds were to return to normal—those whose worlds were lost returned to them…
"... if that's the truth… why did I end up here?" Sora mumbled under his breath. Deep in his own thoughts, Sora pulled the hood of his jacket over his head, stepped off of the curb and made his way down the street.
Suddenly he came to a dead stop. Sora felt something. Listening, he only could hear the sound of the rain pouring down onto the street and his own heartbeat. But he knew something was there.
A few seconds later, black shadows began to slowly emerge from the ground. The heartless. Sora knew them all too well—but he remembered the shadows being much smaller than before. Sora drew out his key blades—the Oblivion and the Oathkeeper. He swung them around into his fighting stance, hearing the clang of his key blades as he clashed them together, anticipating the upcoming battle. But he could have never been prepared for what happened next.
Out of the ground a brilliant purple-white flame emerged, and encircled him, drawing out the heartless symbol… but it was somehow different. There was no X in the middle of the symbol. Sora briefly remembered seeing that type of insignia before—on Riku's chest after he had been turned to the darkness by Maleficent.
Shaking the memories away, he focused again on the horde of heartless that had surrounded them, only to see that the flame that had surrounded him had taken them out. Sora looked around him to make sure there were no others that may have escaped the flame. Glancing upwards, he noticed a human-like figure standing on top of the main building in the center of the city. Squinting, he tried to make out who was up there.
A flash of lightening lit up the scene.
Sora's eyes widened when he saw the flash illuminate the silver hair of the figure on the building.
"It couldn't be," Sora whispered to himself in disbelief.
… Riku?
The figure looked down at Sora, smiled and removed the cloth that covered it's eyes. As soon as the cloth left his face, the figure vanished, leaving Sora standing there, very much confused, in the cold rainy night.

Comments: Yeah, kinda short at first. It's 3am though and I have to be somewhere at noon today, so we're all going to have to wait until later for me to write more. But I DO
have more I want to write out.. big idea planned. Methinks I'm gunna make this a semi S/K fic, but I'll have some bits of L/Y and A/C in here.
But if you actually –thought- my fic was decent, check out anything by Vulpes Lapis (awesome L/Y fics), or the stories "Fatalis" and "Dreams before Yesterday" by Firefly. They're much better writers than me : )
I can hear my cat Stinkdoodle snoring, which is a good sign that I better wrap this up… Feedback will be mucho appreciated though—any suggestions on how I could improve would be even better.
