I was inspired to finally write a Kingdom Hearts story after beating the second Kingdom Hearts game. I always thought of writing a fanfiction for this awesome game and the trailer that I saw on the internet for 'Kingdom Hearts 3' just added fuel to the fire, making me think of ideas. I'm so excited for this story and I haven't even touched the tip of the iceberg yet for this fanfiction. Yeah me!

His Princess

Chapter One

Blowing dust made it almost impossible to see anything that was going on but the sounds told enough. There was so much action that it was impossible to know what was going on. All you had time to do was raise your blade to block the enemies' attacks. You had to be on your toes the entire time, ready to take down an enemy and if you weren't fast enough you would be cut down yourself. There were sounds of screaming, yelling, swords and other weapons clashing together; their steel hitting together creating sparks at the point of impact. It was a battle - no, a war. A war between good and evil and there seemed to be no end to it.

He didn't have enough time to stop and collect his thoughts for he was in the heat of battle with many enemies that there seemed to be an endless army. The darkness was growing faster by the minute and he could feel his muscles screaming for him to stop. His heart ached as it fought another battle, fighting off the darkness that wanted to consume his soul. He had to stay strong and keep fighting. He had been fighting one battle after another for what seemed like days. Fighting alongside his friends and others that stood on the side of light. They had been fighting against the darkness in this war for years and he knew it wasn't going to stop anytime soon.

But he knew that he couldn't stop. She was in danger and that was enough for him to jump into anything to save her. She was his whole world, she meant everything to him. He loved her. Flashbacks of her sweet and kind smile, hearing her joyful laugh - it reminded him of what life used to be like before anything had ever happened to them. Before they began to dream of getting off their little island and discovering other worlds. Life seemed so simple before then. Their first adventure was enough to realize that being on their little island wasn't so bad. After they returned home, they thought it was finally over. It was so peaceful and calm on their island. But not now. Their journey was far from over and now... now it was like hell on earth. It was never going to end.

All he could think of was that he had to get through the hundreds of shadows to get to her. He had to... even if it killed him; he had to make sure she was safe. She was everything to him; she held his heart for he loved her so. She was the princess of his heart. She was his princess and he was her protector. He had to protect her.

"Behind you!" Someone yelled to him.

There were only a few seconds to react to see that a giant shadow knight was about to swing his giant lance, aiming for his head. The seconds slowed and he tried his hardest to lift his blade in time to block the attack. He succeeded in diverting the lance a fraction of a bit, making the blunt side of the blade come in contact with the side of his head, hitting him in the temple.

His vision was sent spinning into hell but he had to keep going. He tried to push the pain way, he needed to carry on and get to his princess. He could feel the warm blood trickle down the side of his face and tried to wipe it away in a hurry while fighting off the lanced knight.

After cutting the creature down, the bright pink heart that the monster was living off of floated up into the sky, returning to the human in which it had belonged to. Looking around quickly he saw that there were no shadows coming after him and took the opportunity to catch his breath. It felt like he was in a bubble of peace if only for a second. All the fighting, all the war was happening all around him. He watched as the soldiers of the light side fight to overpower the creatures of the darkness.

"Are you ok?" Came the same voice that had shouted the warning to him before. "That blow looked like it should have sent you to your knees."

Sky blue eyes looked up from behind chestnut brown bangs and clashed with the blue-aqua eyes that were his friend's. The wind picked up again, playing with both their hair - his brown as light chocolate and his friend's the colour of crystal snow.

"Nothing is going to stop me. I have to get to her." He managed to get out, his throat dry and sore from battle and the lack of water.

All his best friend could do was sigh. "I knew you were going to say something along those lines." He said as he spun around to cut down another darkness creature. "You've been saying that for the past year and a half."

"And I'll keep saying until I get her back." He snapped back. "I'll do anything to get her back!" He could feel his anger grow like a wild fire would spread on dry grass. "I will get her back!"

All the anger had blinded his judgment and without thinking he raced back into the battle, running out of his bubble of rest and hacked down the nearest shadow creature that was closest to him.

"Hey, slow down!" His friend yelled, running after him. "You're going to make your wounds worse just swinging that damn thing around like an idiot!"

His blue eyes hardened into a cold ice blue as they glanced down at the weapon in his hands. Why did the damn thing have to pick him as its wielder? Why couldn't it have chosen someone else? It only seemed right to place all the blame for the past events on the stupid blade that he held to tightly.

With a mighty yell he swung the blade down, coming in contact with the unreal flesh of the dark creature in front of him. As he felt it break down into the pink heart of another human, he didn't stop and jumped after another and then another and yet another. He was so angry and he felt that the only way to release his anger was on the very creatures that kidnapped his princess.

"Damn you, damn you all!" He screamed as he cut down another, not taking the time to watch the heart float away.

He ignored the screams of pain that his muscles were sending to his brain. He was sick of fighting; he didn't want to be a warrior anymore. He wanted to go home with his friends - with her. He wanted everything to be normal again. He just wanted it all to stop.

"Control yourself!" His best friend yelled after him, trying to catch up but got stuck fighting off a couple shadows. "Stop!"

He didn't listen to anyone or anything. He didn't listen to his best friend; he didn't listen to his body both telling him to stop. "No... I can't..."

But as it were, his anger was pushed aside by the demands of his body to rest. His lungs burned with the need for air and with the lack of, his muscles burned for needed oxygen. His body was shutting down on him. No, no! He had to continue... he had to get to her!

Some of the creatures saw that he was wounded and scurried after him, taking advantage that he was weak. He tried to fight them off with his blade but it was too much. Trying to fight off the creatures as well as trying to keep his body working, it was just too much. His body finally won the upper hand and he collapsed to the ground, the handle of his weapon slipping from his fingers. The ground came at him fast as his world began to spin until he couldn't keep his eyes open anymore.

Seeing that his best friend was down, the white haired warrior tightened the grip of his weapon and slashed through the fiends that were huddling around his fallen friend. When he had cut all of them down, he dropped his weapon at his side and bent down to pick his friend up from the ground.

He was still fighting to stay conscious, trying to grab at his fallen blade but it was no use. He looked up at his friend who had picked him up. "I'm sorry... Riku." He whispered.

"It's ok. You just rest now so you can fight another day." His friend reassured. "We'll take you back to the camp to get your wounds dressed." He called two soldiers over to help him carry his friend back to the camp. "Just rest, Sora."

With his friend's words bringing some peace to his mind, he allowed the tiredness to flow through his muscles. He closed his eyes so sleep could overtake his body- but he knew it wouldn't be a peaceful sleep for he knew that her face would haunt his mind and his dreams.

He could only manage a few words before falling unconscious in his best friend's arms in the middle of the battle field.

"I'm sorry... Kairi..."
