A/N: Hello all, welcome to my first Kingdom Hearts fanfic Elegy of Darkness, now I'm not sure how long this fic is going to be but hopefully for those who read it they will like it!
Almost forgot Disclaimer! I do not own any of the kingdom hearts franchise, nor do I own Disney stuff, however my OC's will be showing up later on and I do own them. That is all.
P.S. Aha! I bet most of you forgot I existed, well in addition to this revamp of the prologue, I'm also going back to edit all, that's right all my chapters thus far. There won't be any major plot changes, but my grammar is atrocious, and my Creative Writing professor from last semester would probably smack me for my stiff dialogue and being comma happy.
Kingdom Hearts: Elegy of Darkness
Prologue: Lazy Sunday
A small sea breeze blew through the window to tousle a sleeping sixteen-year-olds chocolate colored spikes. His room was littered with various objects such as a random beach ball, half-finished homework, a wooden ship hanging from the ceiling, not to mention a variety of clothes on the floor. His analog clock read that it was quarter pass 2 when on the sea breeze a faint voice could be heard. The boy grimaced and begrudgingly opened his sea blue eyes to the sound. He let out a jaw-cracking yawn and stretched feeling his back pop as he stood up from his chair, he then decided that a wooden chair wasn't the best of places to be sleeping. He smiled as the sea breeze of Destiny Islands wafted through his room once more, caressing his face with a cool, but light touch. It was nice to just have this peace.
"……..Sora….."
Sora's lips sagged into a frown of concentration as he heard the faint voice coming from the window, "Sora! Get up you lazy bum!"
Sora grinned sheepishly as he bounded over to his window and looked down to see a girl with auburn hair, blue eyes, and dressed simply in her trademark pink blouse and skirt. "Kairi!" Sora waved to one of his best friends in the whole universe. Kairi just rolled her eyes. Sighing she placed her hands on her hips, "Come on you lazy bum! We were s'posed to meet Riku at the island almost ten minutes ago now!"
Sora glanced at his clock to see that Kairi was right and grimaced, he didn't want to have Riku be on his case if he was late. "I'll be down in a minute!"
Sora closed his window and glanced himself over in the mirror. He was wearing his own trademark outfit, one that most worlds would recognize anywhere. Dark long shorts with a belt criss-crossed to hold two side pouches in which he put various things. A dark blue shirt with a dark vest over it adorned his upper body and of course his crown pendant. Sora walked over to his dresser to complete his outfit by picking up a pair of black gloves that had no fingertips and guards for his knuckles. He slipped them on and made a fist with each hand before turning to his mirror and trying to pat his spikes down in vain. Shrugging he opened the door and jogged down the stairs to his front door. He almost collided right into Kairi as he flew out his door, stumbling to land in a heap near Kairi's feet, who was by this time roaring with laughter at his antics. Sora grimaced as he picked himself up, blushing profusely at having made himself look like a dork in front of Kairi. "C'mon Sora. We don't want to keep Riku waiting any longer than he has to."
Kairi took off down the street towards the beach, he auburn hair flying a bit wildly in the wind. Sora sighed before breaking into a grin and deciding not to let it get him down. He rushed after Kairi, who had gotten a nice lead, but Sora easily overtook her and laughed as he got into the boat. "How many times does this mean I've beaten you Kairi?"
Kairi huffed and crossed her arms as she sat down in the boat, content to pout like a three year old and let Sora do the rowing. Sora's grin just breaks into a bigger smile, Kairi was too cute when she pouted. Sora blinked, Wait I just thought of Kairi as cute! Oh no, oh no, oh no! I think she might be able to read minds!
While Sora was having his little panic attack about Kairi being able to read minds. The red head in question having decided to forgive Sora, was now letting her hand drift through the ocean and watched the ripples it created as the soothing rocking of the boat made her eyes droop. "Um, sorry?"
Kairi's jumped slightly at the sound of Sora's voice breaking the silence, and looked at her friend questioningly, only growing more concerned when it seemed that he seemed to be having a slight panic attack, "For what?"
Sora looked uncomfortable for a moment, "For, uh, rubbing in it your face that I beat you? Yeah that's it! For rubbing it in your face I beat you!"
Sora's expression was priceless, trying not to look like a kid who was caught doing something bad, that Kairi couldn't help but let a small giggle out, "I already forgave for that silly."
Sora seemed to deflate for a moment in relief, but perked up with a bright smile nearly as fast as his deflation. Kairi loved it when Sora smiled, it always made things seem right with the world, as if all her troubles were blown away by it. "That's great."
Sora continued to row and eventually they ended up at the play island. A playful voice called out to them, "You're late."
The voice belonged to their silver haired, green-eyed friend, Riku. "What took you so long?" he asked inquisitively with an arched eyebrow toward Sora.
Kairi walked up to Riku and rolled her eyes as she jerked her thumb in Sora's direction, "Blame this lazy bum."
Riku watched Sora beach the boat so it wouldn't float away. "Leave it to him to be lazy at a time like this."
"Hey, I was tired, and the sea breeze didn't help either," Sora exclaimed in his defense as he walked up to his two friends, having completed his arduous task of beaching the boat.
Riku decided to let it go with a roll of the eyes, "Whatever, we need to take off soon anyway, there's no time to argue."
Sora brightened at Riku's words, "It's been so long since I've seen everyone, I wonder how they're doing?"
Riku shrugged as he walked towards their Gummi ship Highwind II. Seeing as Highwind was taken back by the king, they had needed a new name for their ship. Naturally they couldn't decide on a name so Riku and Sora had a race, Sora won.
Only a few months after they had returned home the trio had gotten a message in a bottle from the king telling them to relax for a year, and that once a year's time had passed they could return to traveling the worlds, as peacekeepers of sorts. Although Sora had thoroughly enjoyed his time home, he admitted to himself that he was getting a little bored. Sora intertwined his fingers behind his head and cocked his head to the side watching Riku's retreating form, silver hair moving gently behind him in the sea breeze. "Ready to go on another adventure?" Kairi asked from his shoulder. She had snuck up near his elbow while he was busy thinking about his other friends.
Sora let his goofy smile do the talking, "I can't wait, especially to see Donald and Goofy again!"
Kairi nodded, although she had only met those two for a short time, she felt as though that they were all great friends, "I can't wait to see them too."
"Hhhhheeeeeyyyy!" Riku was calling to them as he waved, "Let's get a move on you two! And you're as much a lazy bum as he is Kairi!"
Kairi laughed as she waved back to Riku and shouted, "Guilty as charged!"
Kairi glanced over to the chuckling Sora. Grinning she exclaimed, "Race ya to the ship!" and took off.
Sora followed behind her smiling. He was starting a new adventure, and this time he had his two best friends with him for it.
A/N: Well folks this is my fist attempt at making a Kingdom Hearts fanfic, the prologue might be a little slow for you adventure people but trust me, when I do get to the action it will be descriptive, I'm good with action.
