Okay! I am finally able to put up this fanfiction, and I am happy! Anyways, onto story business! I know, this chapter is kind of...odd. But! Not to worry, the second chapter is much better! And please, I know that I am not the greatest writer, so don't review telling me that I suck at writing. I would appreciate some good criticism, though.

Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to Kingdom Hearts, or any of Square Enix or Disney's characters. I do, though, own my fanmade character, Naomi.

Maybe it was destiny that failed on me. Maybe it was fate. If you one of those people who doesn't believe in destiny, you'd probably think I only failed myself.

And even though I do believe in destiny, I think the case was that I really did fail myself. Though, whatever it was, I was still unhappy.

So here I am, alone and bleeding to death, on the floor of Hollow Bastion. Will Sora come to save me? No. Will Riku? No. Hell, I'd even be grateful if Kairi came to save me, but no. I'm alone and desperate, yet no one is coming to save me.

Sigh. I guess it would be best to start from the beginning. I mean, to tell you what's happened to me and all. You're probably pretty confused by now, anyways.

I guess it all started on Destiny Island…

The early morning sun blared in my eyes as I rolled onto my right side. I slowly opened one eye and stared at the rays of the sun coming through the blinds of the window. Where was I? I had not a clue.

"You a'ight?" I heard a male's voice ask me. I turned my head slightly to the side, only to be greeted by a boy with tan skin, and freaky orange hair.

"Cool hair, man," I mumbled as I sat up. He chuckled at my comment. I looked at my surroundings, trying to take it all in. 'Where am I?' I thought. I blinked a few times, before thinking, 'Who am I, even?'

I spotted a small mirror hanging on the wall. I saw myself and the orange haired boy in the mirror. Well, part of the boy, seeing as he was behind me and part of his face was hiding behind my shoulder.

I looked at myself, trying to memorize every detail of myself. 'Long, straight platinum blonde hair, deep emerald green eyes, full lips,' I thought to myself.

It was around that time that I noticed that me and the boy were about the same age, eight or nine. "Where am I?" I asked him in a hoarse voice. "Destiny Island," he replied with a big grin on his face, "The name's Wakka."

At that moment, my eyes widened. 'What's my name? Name, what's my name!' I thought frantically. 'Come on, it's coming…Neo…Nao, Naomi. Naomi! That's it!' "My name is Naomi," I said politely, yet showing no emotion.

"By the way, how did I end up here?" I asked. His face fell slightly. "Sorry, not a clue," he answered, "but you can ask Riku. He's the kid who found you. Do you remember?" I shook my head slowly, all the while trying to remember anything about my past.

"Well, why are you here?" I asked again. He smiled, replying, "Riku had to leave, and he wanted me to watch over you for a while." I finally smiled. 'Someone actually cares about me.'

"You didn't have to do that," I told Wakka while sliding my covers off of me. I walked over to the mirror and tried to get a better look at my appearance. My long platinum blonde hair had thin black streaks going through it. My bottom lip seemed split in the middle, as though I had been in a fight. But the weirdest things were my eyes. They were a brownish green around my pupils, and green around the edges. The very edges of my eyes were a deep forest green, and I had gold specks all throughout my eyes.

I then looked down at my feet. I seemed pretty tall for my age. I also noticed that I was wearing a hospital gown. 'This Riku guy must have taken me here to see if I was okay.' But, I then cringed, thinking that someone must have changed me out of my clothing. Now, if I were older, I probably would have thought, 'Holy crap! If a guy undressed me, then he's a pervert!' but since I was only about eight, I thought, 'Eeeeew!'

Wakka got up and walked over to me. He was taller than me by a few inches, but not much. "So, you healthy enough to tell the doctors that you don't need to stay in here any longer?" he asked in his funny accent. 'So that proves it, I really am in a hospital.' I nodded, and Wakka smiled. He ran out of the room for a moment. I heard him talking to a nurse through the door.

I sat on my hospital bed and sighed. 'How come I can't remember anything about my past? Everything's a blur to me,' I thought sadly. Wakka soon walked back in, holding what I guessed were my clothes. I grabbed them, and motioned for Wakka to turn around.

I slowly put on my clothes; a black t-shirt, black jeans, and a black satin ribbon that I just decided to tie around my neck. I looked at myself in the mirror from earlier, and noticed that everything that I was wearing was black.

"Can I turn around yet?" Wakka whined as I giggled. "You girls take too long to get dressed," he complained. I just smirked at his back, and walked out the door.

I guess what you could say about my feelings for the island was love at first sight, because the second I set foot outside the hospital, I felt completely at home (where ever home really was).

The only odd thing was that my clothing color scheme clashed terribly with the people of the island. Hell, my color scheme clashed with the island itself! Everything was all bright and bubbly. Girls wore light pink and yellow, guys wore sky blue and bright red. But me, I wore black, and nothing else.

After a few minutes of walking, I heard Wakka yell, "Yo', Tidus, Sora!" Two boys a little younger than me walked up to us. One with spiky blonde hair, and the other with spiky brown hair that seemed to defy gravity. "Yo', Wakka" I heard the blonde one say. "Naomi, meet Tidus," said Wakka, motioning towards the blonde one, "and Sora" he finished, pointing at the brown haired one. I waved shyly, and the boys just grinned, blushing slightly.

"Hey, have you seen Riku? I wanna introduce Naomi and him," Wakka told the boys. They seemed to discuss his whereabouts, but I just looked around the street, thinking everything that happened in the past hour over.

'How did I get here? Was I on a ship during a storm or something? And, the ship, like, broke so I washed up on shore?' I mused.

I must have been in a daze for a while though, because the boys were staring at me oddly. I just shrugged it off, and the boys grinned. "So," Wakka started, "you ready to meet Riku?"

I thought for a moment, trying to remember who Riku was. Though, I soon remembered, and nodded slowly. "Great!" the boys all said in unison. 'Boys,' I thought, mentally giggling to myself. 'They're all so weird.'

"Ey', Riku!" I heard Wakka call. A boy about Wakka's and my age walked up to us. He had shoulder length, spiky silver hair, and was wearing black shorts and a yellow muscle shirt with blue rimming and a zipper down the front. "Hey, Wakka, Sora, Tidus," Riku called back as he stopped in front of us.

Riku and Sora punched their fists together in a friendly way. "And who is this?" Riku asked as he turned to me. I was about to open my mouth to say something, but Wakka interrupted by saying, "Naomi. Remember, the girl you saved, ya'?"

Riku smiled at me and said, "I'm glad you're okay, Naomi." I smiled back, but it soon faded as I remembered something. "I need to ask you something," I informed Riku, "It's about when you found me."

Riku and I turned to look at the other boys, and gave them a look that said, 'Could you please go away, now? Because if you don't, we'll be forced to eat your toes off!'

…Well, okay, it didn't exactly say THAT, but close enough.

Wakka understood, and started walking away. Though, the other two didn't seems to get the picture, and just stood there. "A'ight kiddies! Time to leave the two alone," Wakka taunted the other two. Sora and Tidus mumbled their goodbyes, and followed Wakka.

"So," Riku said, fidgeting with his hands, "what'd you wanna talk to me about?" I gave him a slight glare. "You know darn well what I wanna talk about, Riku. So, tell me, how, where, and when did you find me?" I asked him, a lot of annoyance in my voice.

Riku sighed. "It's kinda complica-" he started, though I butted in by saying, "I've got time." Riku backed away slightly, and all the anger that he once say in my eyes vanished.

"Sorry," I stated, guilt suddenly hitting me like a brick, "but it's kind of a touchy subject, I guess."

Riku sighed. "I was on a small island just of the coast of Destiny Island. All the kids go there to play, but sometimes I just go to think," Riku started his story. "It started storming, so I walked to the other end of the island to take shelter in this little cave we call 'the secret place'. Though, along the way, I spotted you. You seemed like you had just washed up on shore, but because of the rain, I couldn't tell."

Riku paused, giving me a moment to let everything sink in. "Go on," I told him quietly. He sighed again.

"I carried you over to the secret place. I waited until the storm was over, then I took you back to Destiny Island in a little boat. A few people helped me after they noticed you, and took you to the hospital. This happened two days ago, so you've been out of it for about two days or more," he finished.

I waited and though over everything that Riku has just said. Riku stared at me with his pale blue eyes. "So, everything you told me was the complete truth, right?" I asked. Riku nodded slowly, and I smiled. "Thank you, Riku," I said, crushing Riku in a big hug.

'Maybe this island could be a good thing,' I thought, closing my eyes.

Thank you for taking the time to read the first chapter of my new fanfiction! I already have the second chapter done, so I will probably update this in the matter of a few days or so. Reviews are appreciated!

Thank you, and have a nice night!
