KINGDOM HEARTS

FIVE HEARTS

A/N: This is my first time writing a fanfic for the Kingdom Hearts universe, so please be...gentle...senpai...

Okay, this is getting perverted...0_0

Basically this is based on the Kingdom Hearts series we all know and love, but is slightly AU in the sense that I'm not too worried about getting the chronology, the whole Roxas/Sora thing, or stuff like that correct. So if you see any inaccuracies, assume it's a part of the AU. They're just five special kids who get stolen away by a new Organisation on the rise. They are all KH2 age as well.

I warn you that this story may have yuri, yaoi, violence and stuff like that so if you don't like, don't read.

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING, ONLY MY STORY IDEA! (Wishes she owned Kingdom Hearts).

Most of all, leave me reviews! Pweese? Axel wants you to! Just look at his little face. Aww, I think he's tearing up, surely you don't want to see him cry?

Haha...ha...let's just get on with this...

CHAPTER I

"You will always find each other if your hearts are connected."Those words had echoed in Sora's mind for several days, haunting him. He couldn't find any explanation for why they stuck so strongly with him, he only knew that somehow that logic would serve him well in the future.
Perhaps...

It was another normal day in the idyllic Twilight Town. The familiar orange rays cascaded over his figure as Sora ascended the hill up to Station Plaza, where he was set to meet with some very familiar companions. Ever since they'd started living here in this peaceful town, the days had started to melt together. He wasn't used to this sort of quiet...

He reached the top of the slope, and smiled, seeing the others waiting for him.
Kairi.
Namine.
Roxas.

However, his beaming face was tainted with confusion, as he walked over to join them. "Hi guys. Sorry about the wait, I was just getting the last of my money together."
Kairi waved it off, smiling back at him. "Hey Sora, don't worry about it! We're just glad you could make it in time."
"Yeah, the train is set to be leaving for the beach soon." Namine explained, her pale blonde hair being ruffled by the breeze. "We wouldn't want to miss it and have to wait another hour, especially since it's so warm today."
Roxas only nodded in greeting, keeping up his usual shy and quiet wall.

"That's great but uh..." Sora looked around. "Where's Riku?"

There was a long silence, and then Kairi spoke.
"He said he wasn't coming today. Said he had stuff to do..."
"Oh..." Sora's look instantly saddened, and everyone (even Roxas) rushed up to try and comfort him. After all, seeing Sora looking down was completely out of character for him.

"Don't worry Sora." Namine clasped her fragile hands around his arm. "He can come to the beach with us another day."
"Yeah!" Kairi nodded. "Besides, if he doesn't come today, then that leaves us a little extra cash not having to buy him a pretzel too, right?"
"Haha, I guess that's true!" Sora scratched his head, giving them all his signature toothy grin. "Thanks guys, I needed a bit of cheering up!"
"Of course!" Kairi and Namine echoed in unison.

"Still..."
The three of them were broken out of their rejoicing by an unsure voice, and they all turned to face the source of it. Roxas looked back at them through sapphire blue eyes, eyes always tainted with sadness and a sense of being incomplete.
"What if he's gone and joined up with Seifer's gang? I mean, it's possible right?"

Kairi, Sora and Namine looked between each-other, then back at Roxas. Sora chuckled, giving Roxas a hard poke in the side which made him flinch with pain.
"Riku would never do something like that!" the brunette assured him. "He's always going on about how those guys are just big-headed losers. He wouldn't be caught dead with them, trust me."
Roxas glanced to the side, but nodded. "Yeah...I guess you're right..."

Sora watched as Kairi went over to the side of the platform, and leaned against it, looking out at the rest of the town. He admired her, looking at the way her soft brown hair floated in the light breeze, the way her baby blue eyes observed her surroundings, the way her right leg leant against her left in such a way that her shadow looked absolutely perfect. There was a sense of relief, as Sora felt like nothing could ever take her away from him, even if he did suspect Riku having feelings for her still.

Roxas looked at Namine, who had engaged Sora in brief conversation. He didn't know what to think. She looked so fragile, like a brittle doll that would break in the slightest wind. She looked so akin to Kairi, except her features were all so much paler, like someone had taken Kairi and washed all the colour out of her. He didn't know what to feel, unlike Namine. She knew she had feelings for him, just as she knew Kairi had feelings for Sora. Unlike Kairi, she wouldn't be able to handle Sora's loud and upbeat attitude when she herself was such a quiet and thoughtful person. That was one of the reasons she liked Roxas. He was always thinking, it seemed. His presence was so delicate, it was the sort of presence she could draw most comfortably in.

They were all suddenly alerted by the sound of the clock tower bells. It was time to catch the train, for a day out they'd all been looking forward to.

At the time none of them had any idea that what they imagined would happen, was completely the opposite of what was going to.

Sora called out to Roxas as he neared the stairs. "Hey Roxas, I'll race ya!"
Roxas looked unsure for a moment, but was gradually filled with determination. "Okay!" he shouted back, and sprinted up the steps.
"Hey no fair!" Sora raced after him. "You started early! Cheater!"

Namine and Kairi walked at a more leisurely pace, giggling to themselves.
"Some people never change." Namine chuckled.
"Especially those two." Kairi replied. "Those two are a prime example."

Sora had finished arguing with Roxas, and reached out to touch the glass doors of the station. No sooner had his palm pressed against it, than there was a loud scream. He immediately spun round to see Namine and Kairi held tightly by two figures in black cloaks, their mouths muffled by gloved hands. Roxas was lying unconscious at the strangers' feet.

"KAIRI! NAMINE!" Sora yelled. "ROXAS!" He leapt towards the two mysterious characters. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

Just as he summoned his Keyblade and made to strike for the two of them, his drawn out scream was suddenly cut short, and his world turned black.

The last thing he could remember was feeling the Keyblade drop from his grasp.

...

A/N: So this chapter is short because it's basically just the intro to the story. The next chapter and the ones after that will be longer of course, and we'll find out just what's happened to our fellow heroes! (Though if you read the summary, it's kinda obvious).
