Author's note:
w00t! My first fan fiction, and of course it had to be a Riku/Sora pairing. I mean come on, how could you not love them? So, I hope everyone enjoys it; it's going to be all angsty though. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED…ok it probably won't be THAT angsty. But with characters like Riku and Sora, how could it not? Any who…enjoy!
Oh, and this first dream sequence is mainly set in the big room where Sora battles Riku for the first time in Hallow Bastion (in Kingdom Hearts I). The one with the fountain and two staircases that has the 2nd story with the library entrance, just incase you get confused.

Dream sequence
Sora ran from room to room, heart pounding.
'Damn…why does Hallow Bastion have to be so big?' He panted as he ran towards a dark room at the end of the hall. As he entered, he felt a shiver go down his spine; griping his keyblade, he sprinted into the darkness.
'Where can they be?' he muttered under his breath, as he approached what seemed to be the middle of the room. Panicking, he struggled to adjust his eyes to the dark.
Suddenly, the lights came on in one big flare of light; and then he saw them, standing where the top of the two staircases met.
'Riku, Kairi!' he screamed. As he started to run toward them, he saw that the two hooded figures that were holding Kairi and Riku were also holding some ugly looking daggers. He picked up the pace and started sprinting towards the staircase. Just as he was about to reach it, he hit an invisible barrier.
'Damn it!' Sora screamed, as he started to beat the barrier with his keyblade, 'LET ME THROUGH!'
'Now, now, is that anyway for the key bearer to act? Like an angry little child? You just don't know when to stop, its pathetic really.' Said the third hooded figure, who seemed to be in charge. 'You wouldn't want to look weak in front of the people you love, would you?'
'Let them go!' yelled Sora, anger welling up inside of him. 'Let them go, right now!'
'Hmm…that sounds like an order, and frankly my dear keyblade master, I don't think your in a position to order me around. Have you forgotten that I could end your little friends lives right now?' he turned around and gestured to the other two figures in hoods, 'bring them forward!'
Sora glared up at the hooded figures, as he looked up, he saw the fear in Kairi's eyes.
/Kairi…/
'Now, keyblade master, you must choose: your sister, who is the only family you have left, or the boy you love?'
/No…/ Sora looked up and saw the surprise in the older boy's eyes/no…Riku, you weren't supposed to know/
'Ah, I'm sorry, was that supposed to be a secret?' the hooded figure sneered, 'hurry up and choose, keyblade master! I don't have all day!'
/ No… / thought Sora/ I can't choose…and Riku…I wonder what he thinks of me now…/
A certain silver haired boy calling his name interrupted his thoughts.
'Sora!'
Sora lifted his head to meet the shocking blue eyes that he had dreamed about for years.
'Sora, take Kairi and go!'
/ No…I don't want to leave you Riku /
'I…I can't' Sora wimpered
'Sora, listen to me, take Kairi and get back to Destiny Islands.' Riku flashed a smile at Sora. 'Don't worry about me, I can take these guys'
'But…' He was interrupted by a scream from is sister.
'Sora!'
Sora turned to his sister and saw blood running down her neck.
'Kairi!' Sora screamed.
'Oh dear, that does look awful' the hooded figure said maliciously. 'Now, I am a patient man, but I'm starting to tire of this little soap opera. What will it be the boy or your sister?'
Sora stood rooted to the spot, his mouth uncomfortably dry.
/ I can't choose…I can't leave Riku or Kairi behind… /
A soft voice broke his thoughts.
'Sora, take Kairi.'
'But…Riku…'
'Go now…quickly, before they hurt her more'
Sora nodded and turned to the hooded figure.
'Have you made your decision keyblade master?'
'I choose…I choose my sister…'
'Very well,' the hooded figure replied, 'bring her forward!'
The hooded figure holding Kairi walked her over to the top of the stairs. He gave her a small shove, and she started descending the stairs. As she reached the bottom of the stairs, Sora ran over to her and pulled her into a protective hug.
'And now keyblade master, I bid you fare well.'
'No…wait…'
The three black figures turned and started to walk into a dark portal that had appeared behind them, with Riku in tow.
'RIKU!'
The older boy turned back and gave the brunette one last look before being pushed into the portal.
'Riku! Noo!' Sora screamed as the darkness engulfed him.
"SORA!" Someone was shaking him, "Sora wake up, your having a bad dream"
The brunette sat up abruptly, sheets tangled around him, struggling to focus his eyes in the morning light coming through his window. Once his eyes had focused, he looked wildly around the room. There was someone sitting on his bed…
"Riku?"

I'm sorry for the cliffhanger, I just couldn't resist. It's a bit short, but think of it as a prelude into the story. I want to thank Chelsea and Ariel for editing because they know I'm hopeless when it comes to English. Leave reviews! … Please? Hope you enjoyed reading!
Till next time,
