Hi, this is my first fanfiction. I'm a huge fan of Kingdom Hearts (who here isn't?). Anyways I hope you enjoy reading!

Sora gazed up at the stars above, admiring the atmosphere around him. He was laid out on the forest floor with his hands behind his head. His hair was a light chestnut color and stuck out in every direction. It's been a year since he was abandoned on this small island by his parents and he slowly adapted and had no choice but to live on that sad little piece of rock. He didn't remember much of his past other than the faces of his parents and brother as they threw him to the sand and sailed away on a small boat.

It wasn't that bad at first, but it gradually got harder for Sora; his lean tan body was worn out and shaken to the core. His beautiful blue eyes had that subtle tiredness in them from working all day and night just trying to survive.

But this night was different, Sora was happy for the first time in a while, his jeans and simple black shirt had small holes in them and a swatch of blood on the chest from when he had fallen from a tree as he was gathering fruit. He wore dirty old skater shoes on his feet which provided little protection.

He closed his eyes and felt a gentle breeze on his face as he let out a sigh of relief. He gently layed there for what seemed like forever and sat up suddenly when he heard a large thud! Off to his right. He scrambled to his feet and got out a simple knife he carried in his pocket that he kept with him at all times; it was one of the few things he salvaged from the items he was left with when his parents cruelly left him to die on the beach.

He stood there, with the knife pointing on the direction where he heard the noise. There was a long pause and just as Sora was about to relax a strong force shoved him from behind and next thing he knew he was lying face first on the ground. Sora coughed out some dirt and flailed out wildly at his attacker. But there wasn't much he could do, there was a heavy weight on his back, pinning him to the ground.

"Well well…" the voice of his attacker wrung out against his ears, "I knew they were wrong, they thought if we just left you, you'd simply die of natural causes... But I knew better." Sora knew this voice, it was vaguely familiar but every time he thought back about it his thoughts got cloudy and he shook his head as much as he could to clear it. "Who… who are you..?" Sora coughed out.

"You barely remember me do you? Aw… I know it's a struggle, but I'll give you a little hint, I was there when you were thrown away like a piece of trash you are on this island." The voice said. Sora knew who it was... Ri… Ri… Riku! Sora struggled wildly against him but only succeeded in driving Riku's knee deeper into his back. "Oh you do remember me now? Good good brother, I came to finish off what our parents tried to accomplish… Getting rid of you!"

Sora saw the flash of a silver blade and deep pain exploded in his shoulder; he wailed in agony and once again struggled harder against his brother. "Why are you doing this Riku?!" Sora yelled.

Riku ran his fingers through Sora's thick chestnut colored hair. "Because you weren't meant to live Sora, I've never seen such an excuse for a boy in my life," Riku sneered as he took out the blade from Sora's shoulder and made a shallow cut on the side of his arm, "No one wants you here, but don't worry, I won't kill you now. No, no, it will be slow and I'll come back as you keep on struggling to survive, just to make it harder for you." Sora could feel Riku grinning behind him, "I will take everything you hold close and have you begging on your knees for me to kill you," Riku sneered.

Sora's blood was pouring onto the forest floor and he was shaking in pain. He held the knife tightly in his right hand and swung out behind him and felt the blade connect with flesh. Immediately the weight lifted off his back and he got to his feet with his shoulder screaming in pain and spun around and faced Riku. Sora managed to make a cut on the side of Riku's face and he was holding his face and glaring at Sora with pure hatred. Riku's long silver hair layed behind his back and his black jeans and dark long sleeved shirt were spotted with Sora's blood.

"You think your cleaver," Riku growled, "But I'll be back, make no mistake of that." And with that he jumped backwards and disappeared in the forest.

Sora stumbled, holding his shoulder with his hand and desperately tried to get back to his little hut he had made on the island. He slowly made it to his hut and layed down inside and gently wrapped his shoulder with some pieces of ripped clothes he had. It wasn't much but he couldn't do anymore. He gazed off to the side and saw a little storm out in the distance but wasn't bothered much so he closed his cerulean eyes and fell asleep.

….

Kairi's soft cranberry colored hair danced in the wind as she was on a boating trip with her parents and brother, Roxas. She rested her arm on the rail and looked out on the sea with her big twilight colored eyes. She was wearing a simple pink tank top and a white skirt and tennis shoes. It was dark out but that didn't bother her at all.

Kairi could hear footsteps behind her and turned around to find Roxas behind her. "Hey Roxas." She said, looking at him. Roxas was sixteen, just a year older then her, but he looked older. He was nice blonde hair that was spiked up to the side as if the wind has styled it, his blue eyes looked at her questioningly, "What are you doing out here so late?" he asked as another gust of wind came and shook the boat.

She sighed and turned back to the sea, sometimes her brother just didn't understand her. "I'm watching the stars," she said simply.

"The stars around going anywhere," Roxas replied and took his sisters arm, "Come on let's go inside and try to sleep, it looks like a storm is coming."

Kairi saw the flash of worry in Roxas's eyes and slowly nodded her head, "Alright alright," she said and let herself be lead away as another stronger gust shook the boat rapidly. Just as the view of the outside was blocked by an endless wall she saw a small island off in the distance but thought nothing of it.

Roxas and Kairi went to their rooms with their parents just across the hall. Kairi took off her clothing and put on her pajama's and crawled into bed. A huge wave crashed against the side of the boat and she felt it rock suddenly and could hear the rain outside. She wasn't afraid though, but she hoped nothing bad would happen.

But nothing's ever that easy.

Kairi was woken by her brothers screaming and instantly jumped out of bed as an enormous wave shook the boat. She heard strong thunder and lightning outside, she quickly changed into some clothes she had thrown on the floor the night before, and dashed out of her room. Roxas was waiting for her outside her room and took her hand and ran outside on the deck.

There definitely was a storm and it was rocking the boat, water was sloshing over the side, dousing her shoes. "Kairi stay next to me." Roxas warned, and she could hear how terrified he was. Kairi heard a loud crack and whipped around to see the front cracking in half. She screamed and heard her parents at the back of the boat, yelling out their names but she didn't have time to rush to the other side because just then the wood broke from under her.

She clutched to Roxas tightly and just had enough time to catch another glimpse of that small island she saw earlier, and then her world went black.
