*Hi everyone! This is my first Fan Fic! I hope you like it, even though it's only the first chapter so far... Please comment on it and give me some advice about my story! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters, except one (Raeanne.) - Only two characters (Issun and Amaterasu) are from a different game (Okami.) I own this idea.

Chapter One.

I was running through the storm. The blood pounding in my ears, the soles of my bare feet, scratching against the rocks. I could hear his words over and over. The night was closing in on me. I wanted to wake up, I wanted this not to be real. How I wish this was only a dream! I kept on running, I wouldn't dare stop. Without watching my step I tripped over a root and rolled down into a pit. I lay there, knowing they would come for me. I try getting up but it is no use, my leg must have been broken. "Raeanne..." I heard a faint whisper, but couldn't see anything through the tears in my eyes. "Raeanne..." The voice was getting louder, closer, as I slowly drifted away. I tried opening my eyes but I was blacking out, my heart was beating to a stop, it was all over...

"RAEANNE!"

"Huh?" I answered, looking up at my teacher who was glaring at me.

"What is the answer to the equation?" He asked with an annoyed voice.

"Umm... Fifty-two?" I replied nervously. The class laughed at my response which left me with pink cheeks as I slowly sank into my chair. I was completely embarrassed, even though this wasn't the first time...

"Were you listening to anything I was saying?" He look down at my open journal which I was writing in and frowned. "Alright, that is the third time in the past two weeks!" He angrily snatched it off my desk. "You can pick it up at the end of the day, but if I catch you ignoring my lesson one more time then I'm afraid I will have to call your parents. Understood?" He said sternly.

"Yes Mr. Xigbar" I said regretfully. Luckily the bell rang. I gathered my things and ran out of the class. Mr. Xigbar could be nice but he could also be really tough. I got stuck with him as a math teacher because I'm in the advanced class, although considering the amount of intelligence that my classmates have, it seems like I'm in one of the stupidest math classes in the school. I wonder what the actual low math class is like...

"Rae!" I turned to see my friend Vanille running toward me. "So, you dozed off again in math class? Aqua told me. You know you spend all your time writing and you NEVER pay attention. OH, guess what? Hope talked to me in class! He was only asking for a pencil but I know that..." Her voice was slowly fading. Man, Vanille could talk! She complains about me dozing off? Wow, there is something seriously wrong there. Out of my three best friends, (Vanille, Xion and Aqua,) I prefer hanging out with Xion. She gets me more than any of them do... "HEY!" Vanille was snapping her fingers in front of my face. "There you go again! What's up with that Rae? Is there something on your mind? Do you want to talk about it? By the way, love the hair! Did I tell you I'm getting highlights? Oh my gosh I-"

"VANILLE! Stop talking, please! I have to get to class, the bell is going to ring. I'll see you at lunch okay? Bye.."

"Okay, bye Rae!" She said with a smile and ran off. She knew she talked to much as much as I know that I doze off to much.

Lunch came quicker than I expected. I just wanted time to myself. Aqua met me at my locker and we headed down to the cafeteria to meet the others. I saw Vanille and Xion sitting at a table already, waving us over. We all ate, laughed and talked. We finally got up to leave when Larxene, my arch nemesis, purposely bumped into me with her tray of food. Lucky for me, I backed up fast and her lunch just fell on the floor. Except it hit my shoes instead. "Oops!" She snickered. She didn't care that it didn't ruin my uniform, she was just happy that my shoes looked messed up. "Leave me alone Larxene! If your jealous of how I look, why don't you just say so?" I said. She growled in response. I kicked the food off my shoes and walked away with Xion and Vanille next to me. Aqua decided to pick up some of the food on the floor and dump it back on Larxene's tray. She made sure it slapped down so that it splashed in her face. "Oops!" Aqua said with a smile and then caught up to us, leaving Larxene with a shocked look on her face. That's why I love Aqua. She may not talk that much and look really shy, but if you mess with her or her friends, you willl regret it. "Why does she have to be so mean?" Xion said staring at the floor. Her short black hair covered her face so I couldn't tell what her expression looked like, but I could tell she was depressed. Every time Larxene does anything around Xion, she goes into an automatic depression because of what had happened last year on her birthday. If Larxene just walks by, Xion will look like she was about to cry...

Xion was all excited. It was her sixteenth birthday and everyone was going to her house for a huge dance party. Of course, Larxene was not invited. Rae had come over early to help her set up with Aqua and Vanille. Naminé and Kairi were also going to be showing up to help with Sora and Riku. The real reason Xion was excited was because Roxas was coming to her party and she decided that it would be the right time to tell him how she felt once a slow song played. Somehow, Larxene found out about this and felt that it would be the perfect time to screw things up for her. At the point where the slow song started, Xion made her way over to where Roxas was standing and just when she was about to ask him to dance, the lights came on and the music stopped. Larxene stood at the top of the staircase where everyone could see her. "You may not know this, but Xion has a HUGE crush on Roxas! She wanted everyone to know!" Xion's face went completely red and when she looked over at where Roxas was standing he was already walking away, embarrassed. One part of Xion wanted to kill Larxene and the other wanted to run away crying. She also just wanted to try and tell Roxas she was lying, but she wasn't, so what could she say? She ended up just running out of her own house, with tears running down her face. Aqua took care of Larxene. Rae ran after Xion and Vanille tried to find Roxas to explain things. Her birthday was ruined and now whenever Xion and Roxas cross ways, they both turn red and run off in different directions...

I put my arm around Xion. "It's ok. She has issues so just ignore her okay?" She nodded and looked up at me. "Thanks." She smiled. We finished the school day and went home. Xion came to my house for a sleepover, mostly because I had something extremely important to tell her. Let's just say that when I doze off in class by writing, there's a reason for it. Xion is the only one of my friends that knows about it though. We walked into my house to be greeted by my dog, who deeply resembles a wolf, Ammy. Her real name is Amaterasu but I think it's too long so I call her Ammy. "Down girl!" I laughed as she jumped on me to lick my face. Xion laughed, only to be greeted the same way.

"RAE!" My little brother Issun ran into the room with tears on his face.

"What's wrong?" I asked concerned.

"Eiko took m-my toy and b-broke it!" He blubbered. I took the toy car from his hands and saw that it could easily clip together.

"Wow! You fixed it! Thanks Rae!" His tears were gone and he ran off with a happy look on his face.

"Eiko!" I called out. Even though it wasn't really broken I still had to have a little talk with her. She came out of the room with a careless look on her face. "Why did you attempt to break his toy?" I asked with a straight look on my face.

"None of your business." She replied arrogantly.

"Listen here Eiko, your brother is five years younger than you. That means you shouldn't bully him!" I was getting annoyed. She had such an attitude. "Just because mom isn't home, it does NOT mean you're in charge!" She was angry now.

"Yes it does. Mom said it does and I am older than you!" It was now a fight between the both of us.

"Ugh! Why can't I be seventeen! Then I could boss YOU around!" She screamed and stomped away. I let out a sigh. Xion laughed and took my bag from me. "Come on. Let's go to your room so you could tell me what you wanted to talk about." She dragged me away from the entrance and we went to my room.

"So, what's up?" She asked seriously as we sat on my bed. Not like the regular 'what's up' you usually hear. We've had this type of conversation before but she's still always concerned. "I had another dream. But it's been the same one for the past two weeks now..." I said quietly.

"Is it what you were writing about in math class?" I nodded. I started to play with my hair as I told her of what I dreamed.

"In my dream, I'm running away from someone or something... It's a painful feeling even though I'm dreaming. I then fall into a ditch and just stay there. I have this feeling like someone's coming to kill me. I also have a feeling some is standing there watching me. I then wake up and still feel eyes on me, but just hide under my blanket, telling myself it's just Ammy in my room watching me sleep." It was silent for a while. I stared into the mirror on my room wall. My long black hair which had natural deep purple highlights looked matted. I pulled out my brush from my bag and yanked through it while waiting for Xion to say something. I stared at myself. My gray eyes looked tired and stressed and had bags under them. I wish these dreams wouldn't bug me...

"Well... I don't know what to say, to be honest with you." Xion said with a sigh.

"Neither do I..." I replied. I pulled out my journal that I had gotten back at the end of the day from Mr. Xigbar and gave it to her. She read it and looked up at me. "This sounds like a story book that someone published." She said with a chuckle. I smiled at her.

"Thanks a lot." I said sarcastically. She laughed and gave me a hug.

"Hey, if you ever need to talk I'm always here for you okay? Don't worry, it could be just you thinking of good story ideas before you fall asleep. Or a sign? Who knows? Just don't let them bug you."

"Alright. Thanks Xion. You always know how to make me feel better." I gave her a big smile which told her I was okay, even though I wasn't. I was so curious as to what this dream could mean... I had a dream in the past that went on for three to four weeks and then finally came true. I thought that I was being paranoid but I knew I wasn't.

"Let's go have a snack." I suggested. We got up and went to have some cookies. I cleared my mind from the whole dream thing, for now...

*I hope you guys liked the first chapter! Oh and by the way, think of Issun as a little boy, not a bug haha. I guess he wears a lot of green though... hmm... Anyways, again please comment!
