Woo! Saphyra is BACK (and talking in third person!)! –Bows- So, yeah, here goes Chapter one of my new Kingdom Hearts story, Bittersweet Dreams. I might change the title later, because I suck at thinking of titles and that one just came to me while I was jamming to Nightwish. Heh, don't ask. Ok, so on to chapter one!
Bittersweet Dreams
Chapter One- Dreaming?
The girl leaned into the wind, enjoying the cool pressure on her face. Her vibrant red hair danced around her shoulders and fluttered behind her. Her legs dangled over the side of the island she was sitting on, so her feet were emerged in the calm ocean water. She took a deep breath, smiling, and turned her bright gaze to the boy next to her.
The boy sighed and shook his silver bangs away from his face, and glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes. He felt the sides of his mouth turn up in a small smile.
The girl leaned close to him, resting her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her small waist, and closed his eyes.
Suddenly, he felt something wet on his chest. He opened his eyes, and looked down in horror. Blood was pouring out of her mouth onto his shirt, totally soaking him.
Then, the island, the ocean, and the girl all slipped away from him, and he was immersed in darkness, drowning in blood. He tried desperately to cry for help, but no sound escaped his mouth. The only noise was the wet lapping sound of the blood as he was slowly pulled under and asphyxiated.

Riku shot upright in his bed, gasping for breath. He waited for his eyes to adjust to the darkness, and then stood up slowly. He took one deep breath, then another, leaning his forehead against the wall. He pushed his hands through his silver hair, trying to push the images from the dream out of his mind. Then, he slipped on a pair of jeans and a shirt, and left the house.
It was very windy outside, but warm. Riku made his way down to the beach, and waded out into the water. He swam out to the island he spent most of his days on with Sora and Kairi. He made it there in no time, and pulled himself up the ladder onto the small island he liked to come to at night when he couldn't sleep. He had been coming here a lot lately.
Suddenly, he stopped dead. Sitting on the edge of the island was a girl. He couldn't see who she was because of the darkness, but he could clearly see her sitting there.
"Kairi?" Riku called out, hoping it was his friend. The girl looked at him, and he knew immediately it wasn't Kairi. Whoever it was had unnaturally bright purple eyes that shone in the darkness.
The girl laughed and shook her head. "Nope, sorry Riku." She said, teasingly.
Riku narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?" He asked, and then realized that he probably sounded incredibly stupid.
"Yuka." She said simply.
---------
"So, uh, Yuka… How did you get here?" Riku asked me, walking a little closer. I stood up, facing him.
"Oh… um… I was told to come here. It's as nice as she said it would be."
"You were sent here? By who?"
"Lexan." I answer.
Suddenly, Riku was in front of me. He grabbed my shoulders.
"Lexan? You can't mean Lana? No, she died!" Riku said, half to himself. I laugh.
"You must have been misinformed. Nope, Lexan is definitely not dead." I assured him, smiling. I moved his hand off of my shoulder. "Maybe we're not talking about the same Lexan… About my height, 16, black hair, black eyes-"
"Purple."
"What?"
"Lana has… had purple eyes." Riku sighed, and leaned against the bent-over tree behind us.
"Hmmm…" I ran my hands through my long red hair, thinking. "Unfortunate… I guess the girl you're looking for is dead, then." I lean against the tree also, and look out at the ocean.

As you noticed, I'm doing most of this in the first person because third person is really hard to write! Hehehe
Yum! Reviews!
