A/N: Hello! So I finally decided on an entirely different story all together than "The Only Fish I Sea." HOWEVER, I am still planning on doing a re-write of that and working on it. The main reason I'm doing such a major hiatus is because I permanently LOST the song! It was so perfect, but the lyrics are forever gone, lost in the abyss of endless data I will never see again due to my old laptop crashing T_T

…So there goes that! But here I bring you something fun and new! And a lot better composed then when I was a 15 year old writer! (I'm about to be 21 now, folks!) And a lot spicier if I may add.. hehe.

Also, I always like to have a small form of inspiration behind my stories and this time it happens to be The Beatles. For those of you who are not familiar with The Beatles or do not like them.. well, I'm sorry! xD

But I âme up with the plot for this story while listening to them, so names of chapters and small references within them may elude to some Beatles songs. Also, I'm thinking Sora may be doing some rock like covers of their songs. (NOT GIVING AWAY TOO MUCH INFO I HOPE!)

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, or any of it's characters along with Final Fantasy characters that may be mentioned. I don't own the Beatles or any of their songs or lyrics!

Plot:

Kairi and her twin Shiki lost both their adoptive and biological parents at a young age, and are now stuck living with there two abusive step brothers. Can they escape their tragic reality? If so, will they ever stop being pursued? Will they find love and be able to live happily and normally? They say make love, not war. But love can make it's own wars.

Also, be aware: This story is rated M! It most assuredly will contain violence, sex, rape, language and other offenses so if your looking for an innocent little Sora and Kairi kissing on a Paopu tree fic you have COME TO THE WRONG PLACE. Hehe :)

Chapter 1: Blackbird

-* This chapter contains language and starts off a little morbid but don't worry my friends things will lighten up in the next chappies!

It took fifteen years for us to find out our parents we not biologically connected to us. It took 20 to find out exactly what happened to them. It's been almost twenty one years and now here we stand. Still tied. Still bound. Still broken and bruised; on the inside more than anything.

Our adoptive parents died when my sister and I were 12 in a fatal car accident. Our real parents went missing three days after we were born. We were adopted or "taken in" by the town's mayor, his wife, and two sons. The two sons who devised a plan to murder their own parents to inherit their fortune, and threaten my sister and I if we dared to tell. Threats so bad they made us want to die inside.

The two sons who decided it would be fun to abuse and victimize their adoptive sisters.

Boy, how it wasn't.

When would this nightmare end?

5.

What's it like to be loved?

4.

Will I ever know? Is it within reach?

3.

Life has to have more meaning than this.. right?

2.

I wish I could fly away.

1.

But I'm a little Blackbird; trapped in a cage.

The heat of the iron was excruciating as it enclosed around my arm. It was a flat iron I used to style my hair with.

Oh, good.

That's fine.

Last week I fucked up making his breakfast so he almost put my hand down the garbage disposal.

The thought makes me want to throw up.

I hissed at the pain, but managed to stifle out a laugh.

"Fuck you Van." I spat. "And Ven, you too don't even think about touching my sister or I swear to God-"

I was interrupted as Vanitas, in all his hideous glory, gave me a bewildered look and went on to throw his head back in laughter.

How could he possibly be amused by my complete disgust?

"Oh, sweetie." He inched away from me for a second and I almost felt relieved until I realized he was headed toward my sister.

She sat across from me. She was trembling with fear, and my everlasting frown deepened realizing I couldn't do a thing to help her.

He pushed Ventus away from her, shaking his head at him. "Man up, dude. You're such a little bitch."

Ventus opened his mouth to protest but was halted as the loud slap against my sister's face shut us all up.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night,

"Shiki!" I cried, my voice becoming as uneven and unraveled as I felt. I could feel hot tears running down my cheeks, and I licked the edges of my lips where they stopped.

Shiki, my beloved twin, was crying feet away from me.

Take these broken wings, and learn to fly.

She was so close but far enough that we couldn't reach each other due to the fact that 10 minutes previously we had both been knocked out and tied to chairs.

Vanitas turned around to face me and continued speaking.

"Do you think you make the rules around here? Because I'm sure if you did, things wouldn't be this way."

"Dude-" Ventus cut in. "I'm not trying to rain on your parade today, but we got company.." He trailed off looking towards the front door.

Relief settled in me, and for a moment I looked over at Shiki.

She glanced back, curiosity still managing to shine in her saddened, hazel eyes.

They chose the stage of the torment in the foyer, right by the front door.

Maybe the neighbors had heard? Maybe someone could help us?

God I prayed so hard.

All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise.

And then I heard a voice outside.

"Yo Van? Ven?"

That voice…

"Open this FUCKING DOOR or I swear I'll knock it down. We got shit to talk about."

Could it be…?

"You literally have like 60 seconds, dude. 1 minute and I'm breaking your goddamn door down." The irritated voice replied.

It was.

It was him. One of my best friends. One of my only friends who understood me in someway, who always used to talk to me during my years in high school. One of the only people who has shown me some sort of affection. Or love. The one boy I've adored since I can remember.

It was Sora.

I gulped. Should I scream?

Blackbird singing in the dead of night,

I didn't even think it out before I looked at Shiki and she and I let the lion roar.

We screamed our hearts out until I thought my lungs would collapse. I stopped a moment to hold my throat, noticing that the intense screaming had made my voice hoarse.

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see.

I felt another pair of hands around my neck and looked up only to see Vanitas's twisted, angry face.

"Little bitch." He sneered as he tightened his grip. "You should learn to keep your fucking mouth shut. I'll deal with him. Ven, let her out of these ropes."

"KAIRI! No, stop!" I could hear the panic in my sister's voice, but there was nothing I could do.

That was all I could hear. My vision was fading until I could somewhat feel Ventus cutting the ropes off my bound wrists.

Blood re-circulated through my tiny hands as they were tied ever so tight before.

I collapsed off the chair and onto the cold, marble floor. My cheek hit it as I landed on my stomach.

I relished in the feeling of the coolness on my swollen, beaten face, and closed my eyes.

What was happening?

Then I heard a loud "bang!" as the door burst open in front of me.

"What the fuck is going on here?!"

I couldn't recollect the rest. Everything had now gone black as I swirled unconsciously into a temporary escape.

All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to be free.

I could remember a time when I was happy once. When Shiki and I would come home after school and meet our friends at the strip.

We'd walk in the house, say hello to our parents and usually just ignored Vanitas and Ventus. They seemed like normal teenage boys, but they never talked to us. Just always cooped up in their rooms.

We used to grab our longboards and cruise down the island shopping center to meet up with everyone.

The island breeze blew through our long, warm colored locks and everything just felt so right.

Yuffie, Namine, Roxas, Olette, Riku, and all of them.

And him.

Sora.

They would always greet us with such smiles. We were a part of the group.

We all were very happy during those times. So peaceful as our sandy feet strolled about the island. How we drank our smoothies and laughed at each others jokes.

16, 17, 18 years old. All those years we were happy.

Until our home was destroyed. And the two quite boys we thought to be normal turned into our worst nightmares.

It turned into days, weeks, and months apart that we were able to see our friends.

Soon after Van and Ven became friends with our friends, and told them we were strange. That we all of a sudden didn't want to join in any fun anymore.

They joked, it was a "twin thing."

The boys of the group apparently got together and opened up a shop. It was a coffee shop by day, and a bar by night.

We never got to see it, but we heard it was successful. And it was making Van and Ven more money they didn't need.

And before we knew it, we stopped seeing our friends at all. We were trapped, sucked into this lifestyle they would never know about.

Vanitas and Ventus together were a supermassive black hole that took over our lives.

I missed the sunshine. The good times. That feeling, what was it called?

Happy?

A/N: OMG Okay so that Last part was just a little dream/recap Kairi had during her blackout. Possibly to explain and add a little more depth to the plot of the story. JUST SAYING I'm so nervous to post this right now, I haven't written in so long! I hope you all are easy on me, I'm going to add much more happier/brighter chapters. But this is a sort of darkish story anyway, so. WHATEVER. BUT I AM BACK IN THE FLASH YALL.

Please leave reviews! Don't leave me hanging to sit and question my entire existence!

I'll be enjoying ramen while I wait for some reviews.

EEP!

Okie! Until next time loves!
