Give Me A Heart

Chapter One: Please Bear With Me

So... I just decided to start this story Sailor Neo Angel wanted me to write, I'm sure there is another story like this, it's called No Need For A Heart, it's completed and I really think you'll like that! No bothering me while I'm writing. I swear working on two unfinished stories is not going to be fun.

Sailor Neo Angel, I'm not sure if this is what you wanted, I am hungry, and it's past my dinner time. *Huff* I don't exactly remember the storyline, and I have a science test tomorrow.

By the way, this story is set in KH. Not KH2, not COM, not 358/2 Days... you get the point.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Kingdom Hearts.

"So, what do you think we should name it?" Riku asked, his aquamarine eyes fixed a gaze at his two friends. "I dunno, I just wanna be the captain!" Sora exclaimed, making Kairi giggle.

"Why do you two need to name the raft?" she giggled, her violet eyes switching back and forth between the boys.

Riku and Sora shrugged. Kairi laughed and sent the two to gather supplies for their journey. Riku went off in one direction, and Sora stayed, waiting to gain Kairi's attention.

"Yes, what is it, Sora?"

"Kairi, I like Riku, a lot." Sora stuttered, hoping Kairi wouldn't hate him.

Kairi clasped her hands over her mouth and smiled. "Oh my god Sora! I knew it! I always knew you two would be perfect together!" she gasped.

"Y-you mean, you're not angry?" Sora exclaimed. "Of course not! Why would I be? You guys are so cute together!"

Sora blushed a deep hue of red and Kairi laughed. "I was wondering, can you help me? With telling Riku I like him?" Sora asked the redhead.

Kairi smiled softly and giggled, "Sure. I'll tell him."

Sora embraced her and hugged her tightly. "Easy now, Sora. You should save those hugs for Riku."

Later that day, Sora, Riku, and Kairi sat on the sandy beaches, sharing their everlasting friendship that they always had.

"The sunset never gets old," Kairi sighed, her short auburn hair tickling her neck slightly. Sora and Riku nodded in agreement. Sora rested his head on his arms, letting his brown spiky hair settle down for once.

The three friends looked out across the ocean, gazing at the beautiful scene. The salty ocean breeze gently kissed their skin, and the sky faded from a bright red to a misty dark blue.

"Don't you ever wonder what it's like out there?" Riku asked his friends. "Huh?" Kairi responded.

"I mean, like all those other worlds out there. We can go on the raft together, and explore all those places!" Riku exclaimed.

Sora nodded, not really listening to his friends chat about things like that. He was planning to confess to Riku that he loved him, but right now didn't seem like the right time.

The brunette stood up and waved goodbye to his friends. "Bye guys! See you later at dinner!" "Bye Sora!"

Sora smiled and rowed out back to the main island.

Kairi turned to Riku. "Let's go too." Riku nodded in approval, allowing his long silver hair shake with the movement.

The redhead laughed and dragged Riku off in the direction Sora went.

Sora ate with his friends at Kairi's house. She invited them over, how could the boys refuse? Kairi had a gigantic mansion for a house, well at least Sora says so compared to his.

"Kairi, do you still have the thing?" he hissed to the redhead. "The thing?" Sora nodded, and started drawing a doodle in the air.

Kairi gasped and laughed. "OH! That thing! It's in my room where you left it." Sora smiled and raced up the stairs yelling, "Thank you Kairi!"

Kairi turned to Riku, who seemed dumbfounded. "You don't know about the thing, do you?" Kairi asked, trying to suppress a giggle.

Riku shook his head. "Oh, of course. You were sick that day, and Sora wanted to play with someone, so he played with the thing."

"I still don't know what you're talking about."

Kairi laughed, tilting her head back. "Nevermind!"

Sora stood upstairs, listening to his friends converse. He had a small teddy bear wrapped up in his arms, with a sweater that said, "The Thing".

Then he heard Kairi say something. "Riku, Sora..."

"Sora what Kairi?" Riku asked.

Kairi gulped down some orange juice and said, "He likes you."

Sora gasped quietly from upstairs. Kairi finally did it! A grin spread across his face, but he heard something that would change his life forever.

"Who could love him?" Riku snapped, playfully.

Kairi gasped in surprise, shocked at his answer. Sora was stunned, gripping on the railing for support. He felt a warm tear slide down his cheek. "Kairi, I'm going home now," he cried, trying to make it sound like he had heard nothing.

"OK, Sora! Good night!" she called.

Sora zipped down the stairs, through the door, and back to his tiny house.

Sora relentlessly tossed and turned in his bed. "He hates me forever," Sora thought aloud, tears running down his cheeks. He heard a small rap at his door, and he quickly pulled his blanket over his head of messy hair.

"Sora, are you still awake sweetie?" he heard his mom. Sora moaned, pretending he was sleeping and was awakened by the noise. "Oh, OK then."

He heard the footsteps fade, and he sat straight up. "He will never love me."

He gasped in surprise when a rumble of thunder shook his window. "The raft!" he gasped.

Sora pushed open his window and jumped out.

Sora ran quickly to the dock, where the raft was waiting.

Rain pounded on his back, soaking his hair and clothes. He sat on the dock, protecting the raft from harm.

Hello, young boy.

"W-who's there?" Sora whimpered.

Why, I am the answer to your problems.

"Really? You can help me? With what?"

So many questions, so little time. You have been granted your deepest desire. Past the love, hate, sadness, hurt.

You have been granted the power of darkness.
