Chapter 1

"Sakiya, the point of the black hoodie is to make you look intimidating to your enemies" Larxene growled, "not so you can use it as a pillow!"

She flung the peice of cloth at Sakiya's direction, the feathers trailing behind. Sakiya held the cloak close to her and frowned. The cloak looked very much close like a pillow case and very soft. Since she didn't own a pillow, Sakiya thought it was a good idea to make it into pillow case and stuff feathers into it. She slept soundlessly the night before. Sakiya looked up from the black pillow case and at Larxene's infuriated face, "but I rarely use it to wear , so I made it into something useful."

"Being in OrganizationXIII is a priveledge Sakiya and you're abusing that priviledge." Larxene said, " you are a special case mind you. Now I gotta get you a new one. Do you know how much this cost in the market? They cost a fortune!"

"You guys order your cloaks in the market? Don't you think that's a bit suspicious?"

"Enough!" Larxene disregarded, "forget about it! I'll get it for you. Meanwhile you better behave and keep a low profile, got it?"

Sakiya nodded obediently.

Larxene dissapered behind a cloud of dust. Sakiya waved at the dust flying to her face and coughed. She stepped away and walked out the barn, alomg with the pillow sack. The sunlight greeted her auburn eyes as she gazed at the towers of the Kingdom Hearts Castle. The last of the coronations hung loosely from the bridge. It gave her faint reminder of the great celebration that happened just days ago. It was the first anniversary of the King and Queen's marriage. Everyone from the lowest to the highest were invited and no one worked that day.

Excluding Organization XIII.

To Sakiya's knowledge they were planning to take over the castle. Larxene's pixy like voice reverberated into Sakiya's memory that it made her wince. "Okay little one, stay out here and leave the rest to us. If you see anyone, ANYONE, radio us, got it?"

Sakiya nodded, "But what if it's one of the guards?"

Larxene laughed as other members passed behind and climbed through the window. "Then let them know that the ending of days will come sooner and we will take our rightful places. We'll make them realize that Nobodies are Somebodies to be reckoned with."

After that vibrant speech , Sakiya stood guard at the window, while listening to the festivities of the party and watching the fireworks in the sky. a yearning feeling crept through her to join the party. She didn't understand why the Organiation had a chip on the shoulder and when she questioned it, Larxene usually lashed out on her. Was it becuase they failed so many times? That Sora had managed to beat them at thier own game? Or the fact that they couldn't get a Nobody to get hold of the Sora's keyblade? Sakiya pondered over the possibilites until she heard the bushes rustle a warning.

Her first thought was to run but then she remembered what she had to do. If I want to be someone to be reckones with, she thought, I got to make the first move. Sakiya sped through the bush and knocked into something, or rather someone very hard. She landed on the floor with umph! and heard a grunt beneath her.

"I thought I got away from those groupies!" a masculine voice muttered, "get off me."

Sakiya rolled off and readjusted her black hood. She looked around and dound she was only yards away from the window that hung open. She glanced at the figure infront of her as the moonlight shone some light on the silver strands if his hair. Sakiya gulped and stood up trying to think of the next thing to do. But she kept her gaze on him. Wearing a black mask he looked like he was hidind his identity, but he snatched it off and turned his curealean eyes at her.

Sakiya tugged at the hem of the hood, concealing more of her face. She knew who he was: Riku. Assuming of the stories she heard from other girls who adored him, he was the King's best friend and very attractive. He was able to make girls swoon over him by one smile. Rumors said that he had broken countless hearts on the long run. He was simply untouchable. But he was now glaring down at Sakiya with suspicion.

"Did you follow me here?" he asked.

Sakiya frowned, "the party is that way" she pointed passed him, "I find it hard to believe that I knew where you were going."

Riku raised a brow at her response and smirked, "I suppose so, are you a guard?"

"Of some sort" she shrugged and glanced at the window. The radio was in her pocket but she couldn't warn them with Riku infront of her.

"From what court?" He asked and narrowed his eyes, "I haven't really seen your costume in the party."

Sakiya grinned anxiosly as he walked closer to her. He was taller than her by a foot. "Lemme geuss, a member of the Organization? You know you could be in big trouble for this. Infact, I should call the guards."

Sakiya's heart skipped a beat. I've been found out, she thought. Her legs wouldn't move as Riku drew closer to her. He was close enough to hold her until the 'real' guards came and take her away. She fought the urge to scream, to let the other members know. Her hands clenched shut as she closed her eyes, waiting for the call.

Riku chuckled, "just kidding."

Sakiya blew a sigh of relief.

"Do you mind if I hide here?"

Sakiya held her breath.

"Only alittle while, with you?" After he saw Sakiya expression he hastely added, "I won't try anything, just don't be alone here."

Sakiya blew out and sat down on the grass, her back to the open window. But it bothered her that Riku still hand't noticed when he sat to her left and said not a word. A prickly feeling travled down her back, the open window tugging at her mind. Any minute the members could emerge out without knowing the King's best friend was stargazing right nder him. Sakiya just hoped Riku would grow bored of her and find some other spot to hide out. But Riku stuck right there.

Sakiya couldn't help the chirping crickets so she broke the silence. "What were the King and Queen dressed like?"

She could feel Riku glance at her hidden face. He hadn't expected that questiion. "Sora was Prince Charming and Kairi was Cinderella."

She wasn't familiar with thier names but she nodded, "and you, what are you?"

"I was supposd to be Zorro, but instead of rescuing damsels in distress, I happpen to be the one in distress running from the damsels." Riku laughed but it didn't seem to reach his eyes. "It's tiring, ever since Sora became King, he doesn't have time for anything else. Then the girls came and came and suddenly I was thier number one target."

"You're not happy..."

"That's what I want, to be happy with another person. I thought these girls would give me happiness but apparently they're eating every bit of sanity I have left. Looking for the right person is tough. "

"Wel, maybe if you'd stop looking for the right girl, she would come to you instead" Sakiya said.

"Huh? Why would I stop looking for love?"

"My mom once said you can't hurry love, you just have to wait." Sakiya said. She hugged herself and closed her eyes, "love don't come easy, it's a game of give or take."

Sakiya was suddenly pulled back from her memories as the sound of trumpets boomed. Remincing made her head spin as she tried to figure out what was going on. That event happened last night and she didn't regret a minute of it. It turned out Riku wasn't as cocky as people implied him to be. He's just a normal guy, Sakiya thought. Just between the towers where the bridge extended, Sora was on a horse on his way out. Kairi and other staff members followed close behind bidding him good bye. Donald and Goofy were there as well, by his side.

And Riku who stood off far from the crowd, looked haughtingly bored with the whole commotion.
