Disclaimer: i don't own any of this! Just the pets cause I like animals |3 but really, the rest goes to Disney and Square Enix.
Authors Note: okay if you read this then you'll probably be mad since I haven't finished my last story, but I will assure you! I will finish it! Infact once I post this chapter of this story I will go finish it! It's just I woke up in the middle of the night(4:30am about two hours after I went to bed) with this idea and I started writingBurt's yeah! So I hope you like this story? I'm questioning weather I should post this or not... Oh well! Enjoy -w- :D
As I sat on the slightly curved Paopu tree, I stared out at the endless ocean. It wasn't endless though, I've been to many worlds. Some of them didn't have an ocean at all. Just pavement and bricks.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the silver haired teen. I turned my head to see him leaning up against the base of the tree, arms crossed, and that serious thinking look, plastered on his face.
"Hey Sora?"
"Yeah Riku?" I turned my attention back to the ocean to see the golden light of the sun, reflecting off the water and into the sky.
"What makes the sky blue?" His voice was emotionless like most times, I saw his Aqua eyes stare up at me.
I shrugged, "Science? Mother Nature? How do you expect me to know," I slid off the wooden frame, "I'm no Vexen."
"It's not fun to make fun of dead people Sor." He placed his hand on my head and rub vigorously.
I pulled away, I reached out and attempted to mimic him. He had a height advantage. I crossed my arms and stuck my lip out into a pout, "No fair,"
"Not my fault, blame genetics." He chuckled, seeing him smile made me happy.
"Alright, then let's go to your house so I can yell at your parents." I suggested.
"They'll glomp you before you step foot in our house, you know how much they adore you." He stated matter-of-factly. I laughed, it was true.
When I stopped laughing I saw the silverette walking away, "Where you goin Riku?" I called out.
"I'm leaving, nice knowing you Sora. Take care of _."
I awoke to slamming on my door, "Sora! Wake your lazy ass up! Or I'll smash the door in!" I warily walked to the door, terrified the door might fall any second. When the golden door handle clicked, a red headed girl barged inside my room.
"Hey Kai, how ya' doin?" I noticed that she was completely drenched. My mom must have let her in, though she forgot to offer her a towel. "Why are you wet?"
"Wouldn't you like to know," She walked into my closet, in desperate search of a towel. "It's pouring out, and Naminè wanted to make sure you finished the rest of your guy's report. And because you didn't answer your phone, I had to ride my bike over here."
"Why didn't you just have your brother drive you?" Axel didn't like the rain, but Kairi hated it more. Her make-up would run, if she was wearing any, and she complained that wet clothes made her feel itchy.
"He was out with his friends. Apparently Roxas and Ventus found a bag of kittens in the river on there way home from the store."
"Are the kittens okay?" I practically shouted in her ear, based on her facial expression; I might have bursted her ear-drum. She glared at me, if looks could kill. Before she could speak, the familiar ringtone filled the small walk-in-closet.
Sekai de ichi-ban OHIME-SAMA
Sou iu atsukai KOKORO-ete
Yo ne?
Naminè's ring tone. Oh I loved that song, I quickly ran over to my bed while Kairi answered her phone call. I threw the pillows onto the floor before I found the shiny black phone. I placed my iPhone into the iPod dock.
Hatsune Miku filled my room.

"Sora turn that off," Kairi attempted to shout over the blasting Japanese pop star.

"Sora!" She failed again.
Oh, check one two... Ahhhhhh!
"Sora I will call Riku here to make you stop!" I shrugged, her and I both knew Riku would never go out in the rain.

I could hear angels singing, no wait. I looked over in the door way to find the silverette. My eyes widened and my mouth dropped open.

"What? Does it look that bad?" The taller boy asked. Kairi looked over in aw. Her face looked just like mine.

Oh, Hey Baby~
"RIKU GOT A HAIR CUT!" Kairi screeched, I covered my ears and winced at the sound. As I looked over at her, she was clicking buttons on her phone rapidly. Probably updating her HeartBook status.
Riku shook his head, I could tell he was annoyed. I knew Riku Gallagher better than he knew himself, "So, did you hear about Destiny Islands?"
"No what happened?" I jumped off my bed, but because my reflexes suck, I fell on my knees onto the hard wood floor.
"Apparently a storm totally fucked the place up. I'm not even sure if our tree is still there," his voice dropped on his final words.
"What? No! That was our tree! We planted that together!" Kairi sounded just as disappointed as Riku. The red head soon went back to clicking violently.
"Well, I still have that Paopu fruit I found a couple weeks ago." I thought out loud, Both Riku and Kairi's eyes narrowed at me.
"You promised we'd share that after High school Sora," Riku mentioned.
"But if we plant it now, there will be fruit on the tree by the end of the school year. We'll go a pick an other one. All of us. You, Roxas and the gang. Everyone! Then we'll make Paopu sherbet, and we can all share it." Once I finished, the room was quite, Kairi glanced over at Riku. He shrugged, agreeing to my idea.
"Fine, but don't screw it up Sora." I had a tendency of messing things up. My bottom lip stuck out in a pout, he knew I didn't like it when he used bad words.
"Just plant it with him ya' dumbass!" Kairi exclaimed. Riku rubbed his temples, Kairi would point out the obvious a lot. But in the end, we're all friends for some reason.

My phone started playing the catchy ring-tone. I made it Naminè's because she was the one who got me into Hatsune Miku, I reached over and picked up the slender piece of cellular device.
"Hello, You've reached Sora. Leave a message after the explosion." Riku quickly ran to my side, he attempted at making fake explosion noises. He failed once he started laughing.
"Very funny Riku. Sora, did you hear about the kittens?" Naminè's voice sounded worried.
"Yeah I did! What are you gonna do with them?" I was hoping she'd say 'adoption' cause I've been wanting a cat for years! I'd get one for Riku and Kairi too, obviously.
"Well, would you three like kittens?" Her voice perked up, she knew about my kitten craving.
"Yes! Riku will have us over in a jiffy! Bye Naminè, and thanks!" I quickly hung up before she could respond.
Riku looked at me, slightly annoyed, "I just got here."
"I know! And now were going to get kittens! Let's go Riku!" I pulled on his arm as I attempted to drag him to his car, I failed.
Kairi peered up and giggled slightly, "Oh Sora, you such a Uke."
"A what?" Riku and I spoke simultaneously. She continued to giggle, we ignored her as we walked downstairs.
"Hey mom I'm getting a cat from Naminè." I stated, if she said no I would stand up for myself this time.
"Okay sweetie just take good care of it," her smile could never be mimicked. She and only she wore it perfectly, "Would you three like some pancakes?"
"Of course! You know I can never turn down your cooking Mrs. Osment!" Kairi responded quickly. Usually she's on a diet, but even when she is, she chows down whatever my mom puts in front of her.
"Kairi, how many times must I tell you! Call me Aaliyah." Kairi winced innocently and shrugged.
"I know, I'm sorry Aaliyah. You know how my mon raise me and what not." The Flynn Family was very strict when it came to rules, Axel was the only one to break those rules before now. Kairi had joined Axel's rebellion.
"Riku would you like any?" Riku nodded, she handed him a plate with a perfect blueberry pancake. At the table, I passed Riku and Kairi the maple syrup. Riku carefully made a side platter of syrup, while Kairi bathed her pancakes in the sticky mess.
"So what are you guys doing for Sato-Sensei's writing assignment?" I looked up from my pancakes to see Riku, twirling his fork in the left over syrup from his pancakes.
"Well, Xion and I did ours about decrease in tiger population. Did you know there's only about 3,000 left in the world?" Kairi spoke up sadly, "By the time we have kids, they will probably be extinct!"
Riku and I sat there dumbfounded. Now and days it's about things kids and teens don't really worry about. But this, is crazy! Tigers can't be extinct! That would be terrible.
"Hey Sor, do you remember when we were little, and your mom brought the 3 of us to see that one tiger movie?" Riku looked over at me, I thought for a bit. I did remember. But what was it called?
"Oh yeah I remember! Now what was it called?" Kairi placed her index finger on her chin, as we all sat in scilence, we all searched our minds for the answer.
"It was called Two Brothers." Riku thought out loud, that was it! Riku didn't have good memory, but when he did remember something, it was important to him.
"Yup! That's it Riku." Kairi praised Riku thankfully. Kairi had an O.C.D, that if she couldn't remember something she would go crazy. She had good memory, so it didn't happen often.
"We have to get to Naminè's soon, hey mom?" I looked over to the kitchen to see my mother starting a stew. I saw her lightly nod, as she finished chopping up some carrots and throwing them into the pot.
"Riku are you spending the night tonight?" my mother looked over at him.
"Oh yeah, if you don't mind." Riku rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment.
"Don't worry Riku sweetie, it's fine! I always make too much food anyway. So your welcome to stay for as long as you want." her smile was reassuring. Riku could never turn down my mother's offers.
"Hey mom we gotta get going. I'm gonna go put Kai's bike in the trunk alright?" I brought my plate over to the sink, I watched as the brownish gel turned into a tea color liquid as it swam down the drain.
"Alright, I'll be out in a second sweetie." she kissed my forehead as I left the kitchen. I slid on my rain poncho over my sweatshirt, Riku joined me as Kairi helped my mom clean dishes.
When I stepped out onto the cold porch, I heard the rain over top on the roof. Just hearing it, the pitter patter, reminded me of Destiny Islands. Our tree, could it really be gone? Riku's voice pulled me back to reality.
"You too?" I looked up to see his arms resting on the wooden rail, looking over at the street. I made my way to his side and nodded, "Don't worry, we'll fix it." his confidence made me smile, I wish I had as much of confidence as he did.
"Yeah, I know we will. Now help me get Kai's bike in the trunk!" I grabbed the sleeve of his jacket, and pulled him out into the rain. I opened the trunk of the Honda 2012 Pilot, Riku quickly tossed Kairi's bike into the spacious box.
As we ran back inside, I heard Kairi and my mom stop their conversation, "Everything ready?" my mom asked as she pick up her purse. I nodded, Kairi ran upstairs to go get her cellphone.
"Hey Kairi! Get mine to while your up there!" I heard her shout back a response, Riku and I walked back out to the car. As I headed for the front seat,
"Shot-Gun!" Riku's voiced shouted over the rain. I sent a glare his way. He laughed as I went to the back seat, "Sora, you gotta learn some how." he shrugged and slid into the seat.
"Yeah whatever! Just turn on Spongebob." I waved my hand towards the screen in between the back of the passenger seats.
"Really Sora? Play PSP or something." He turned around in his seat to stare at me.
"Come play with me! You know how competitive Kairi get at games!" He sighed heavily, he quickly got out of the car and ran around to the other door. I smiled when he re-entered the car.
"Put in Kingdom Hearts 2, we're finishing that game on our way to Naminè's." Funny story about that game, after we had saved the world from darkness, these people heard about us and made a game about US! They had most of their facts right.
We had traveled all the way to Radiant Garden to tell our story. My mom fell in love with Radiant Garden, so we ended up moving there. My mother than told all of our friends parents about the place. She told them how it was big,cheap, and everyone there knew each other.
Slowly all of our friends moved to Radiant Garden as well. It was like being back in Traverse Town, but with out Traverse Town. You would think we would be chased by paparazzi all the time, but in this town, it's relaxed and quite. Nobody cares if your famous, and nobody cares how much munny you have. Everybody is treated equally.
Riku and I took turns playing, after every cut-scene we would switch. It was my turn and we were on our way to fight Xigbar, it's weird. Because once we defeated Orginazation 13, their sombodies actually became their own people. And as for the real Orginazation, they were brainwashed. It turns out, they all were really nice people! Now Xigbar is our Math teacher, good thing he doesn't remember me beating him to death.
I laughed, Riku knew what I was laughing about and joined. Finally Kairi got into the car with my mom.
"You boys ready?" my mother turned her head to look at us, we nodded and she backed out of the driveway. We were off to Naminè's!
"Het mom?"
"Yes sweetie?"
"I'm offically afraid of old people."
"Why? Did you see old man Xehanort again?" I nodded, he scared me. He had lost all his powers when Terra regained his true body back. Now he throws rocks, as if he still had his powers.
Sadly Terra and Aqua had been away all spring break, Inoue-Sensei was training them for the next week. He was a pretty nice guy, Terra apologizes every time he sees him. Terra never meant to kill his Sensei, he was protecting Ven.
Aqua was super duper pretty! Her hair was the color of her eyes, which were the color of my eyes. I would love to have blue hair, I'd like to color Riku's hair! That would be so cool!
"Hey Riku?"
"No you can not color my hair." He deadpanned. Dang. I sighed and returned to my game. When ever cut-scenes happened, We would mute the game and reenact all our lines.
"You are different, Kairi, but I'm just glad your here!"
"You and Riku never came home, So I came looking for you."
"I'm sorry."
Riku whispered in his creeper voice,"And then they hug."
"This is real..." Kairi attempted not to laugh.
"And Sora wraps his arms around her," Riku continued to narrate in his creeper voice, then his voice turned into a big black guy voice,"I'm out beaitches!" He spoke just before he made his way to the dark portal.
"Wait, Ansem! I mean, Xehanort's Heartless... I never thought for a second that I'd ever see YOU again. Just thinking all the things you did makes me really mad. But... But you saved Kairi, right? I have to be grateful for that...Thanks."
"Riku, don't go!"
"Kairi, what did you just say?"
"She said my name!"
"Riku." She held back a giggle.
"I'm no one-just a castaway from the darkness."
"Sora, come here, come say something to him."
"Here. You'll understand. Close your eyes."
"And he does, then he sees my beautiful body and face in the darkness!" Riku sang happily.
"Riku...It's Riku. Riku's here...I looked for you!"
"C'mon Sora, You've got to pull it together."
"I looked everywhere for you!"
"I didn't want you to find me! I was starting to worry you guys weren't ever gonna catch on. Dora never did pick the brightest friends."
"Why didn't you let me know you were okay?"
"I told you. I didn't want to be found, not like this...I couldn't. I fought with Ansem. With...Xehanort's Heartless-When it invaded my heart, and I won. But to use the power of darkness, I had to become Ansem myself."
"Does that mean...You can't change back?"
"This battle isn't over. And until it is, I still need the power of darkness."
"Then...Let's finish it. You're still Riku, no matter what! So how 'bout it. Think we can handle one last rumble together? The king's waiting!"
With my last line, everybody laughed. My mother pulled into Naminè's driveway.
"Thanks for the ride mom!" I quickly hopped out.
"Yeah thanks Mrs.- I mean Aaliyah." Kairi corrected herself a shot my mon and warm smile.
"Goodbye! Be safe, oh and Riku." my mom said something to him, I wasn't able to hear them but Riku nodded In response. Riku stepped out of the car and made his way to the house with me.
"What did my mom say?" I asked.
"Curiosity killed the cat." he warned.
"But satisfaction brought it back." He rolled his eyes, and glanced over at me.
"She just told me to watch after you." he shrugged nonchalantly, Was she serious?
"If anything I should be watching you! Your the one who went and got lost in the darkness!" I crossed my arms and pouted. Did she really think I, Sora, would go and get lost?
"Hey, I was curious!" he half smiled as he looked down.
"Curiosity killed the cat!" I complained.
"And you were my satisfaction that brought me back." I sighed, Riku. What am I gonna do with you?
Kairi knocked on the dark brown door. Seconds after, a tall beanie headed boy answered the door.
"Good morning Seifer," Kairi greeted sweetly, "Is your sister home?" A smile formed on her face, Seifer's expression didn't change.
"No she's not." he stated bitterly.
"Look," Kairi grabbed the collar of his shirt an pulled him down to eye level. Her smile was gone and replaced with an angry frown,"I know for a fact she's here. Let us in or I'll post the picture from summer camp-"
"She's upstairs!" he admited. When Kairi let go, he quickly retreaded to the kitchen.
"Nice goin Kai," Riku chuckled at the red head's actions. Her eyes narrowed at him, he quickly stopped and looked the other way, whistling a familiar tune.
As we made our way to Naminè's room, Kairi fidgeted. We found Naminè's door quickly, it was all white with a celeste blue 'N' painted on the door.
When we opened the door we saw her blue blanketed bed, the same blue on her door, ruffled up. Naminè wasn't the type of person to make a mess. We looked over to see Naminè, working at her rather large white table. She was siting in front of 8 balls of fluff.
"Hey Nami, what's up?" Riku asked walking over to the table.
"Hell. These kittens are driving me insane!" Rakuene was sitting on the table, watching the kittens.
"Well good thing we're here to take three!" I chirped, "I can't wait!" I skipped over to Naminè's side an examined the small fur balls. Riku reached over and picked up a rather unique looking cat.
It's body was white, with hints of brown. It's legs,paws,tail,ears and face, we're spattered with grey brown and black. The kitten was rather long and slender, she looked well fed. It was just her body type.
"I like this one," Riku stated, the kitten purred loudly as Riku's fingers massaged behind the cats ears.
"That one is a seal tortie point Balinese. He's very quite for his breed, he doesn't need much grooming, he gets along with other cats, but he doesn't really like to play. He'd make a good daddy cat!" She smiled sweetly as she gently stroked the cat.
"What about this one?" Kairi pointed to a rather stunning cat, Naminè's face lit up brightly.
"Do you want her? I think she'd be perfect for you! She's a Turkish Angora tortoiseshell smoke. As you can tell her fur color consist of; black, cream, white, blue-cream and tan. She meows a lot when she needs something, she likes to be alone, gets along with other cats but she needs to be groomed every two weeks or so."
Kairi nodded and picked up the cat. They both immediately fell in love wit each other, Kairi went over to Naminè's bed and laid down with her new kitten.
"Who do you want Sora?" Naminè looked at me, I skimmed the last 6 kittens. My eyes landed on the smallest one. It was about 5 inches tall and exploding with fluff! He was burnt charcoal grey and white.
"This little one!" I reach over and gently plucked the burnt coal off the table.
"Oh, she's a Maine coon. Like Kairi's cat she'll need to be groom every two weeks or so. She gets along with other cats, she meows a lot, but unlike Kairi's she loves to play."
"Really?" I looked down at the small ball of fuzzy, "I'll take her!" I kissed her head softly, her large green eyes looked up at me.
"What are you gonna name them?" Naminè questioned eagerly.
"Ayame," I stated happily. It meant Iris in Japanese.
"I'm naming my little darling Seiiki." Kairi chose a good name, Seiiki meant Sanctuary in Japanese.
"Higeki." Riku deadpanned.
We all looked at him quizzically. I was the first to speak up, "You're naming you cat Tragedy?"
"Yeah, he went threw a tragedy, and I'm going threw a-" He stopped. He looked up at us, his eyes wider than I've ever seen.
"Riku." Kairi sighed.
"Not again." Naminè added.
"What? Not again what?" was I the only one who didn't know?
"It's nothing Sora. We should go to the pet store, to get the things we need." Kairi nodded, how could Riku be hiding something from me? We're best friends... right?
"Do you have any cat carriers?" Riku looked over at Naminè. She nodded and reached under her table and pulled out three medium sized carriers. I smiled and picked the blue one. Riku picked the white one while Kairi picked the pink one. Soon we were out the door and back in the car.
"Well let me see the little babies!" My mom urged us to open the cases. She awed when she was all three of them, "How cute! So are we going to the pet store?" I nodded and she drove down the road.
I took out my phone and started typing quickly,
'Riku, tell me what's wrong!'
He looked over at me when he received the text,
'Its nothing Sor.'
'But Kai and Nami know! So why can't I?'
''Its better if you don't know.'
'Curiosity killed the cat.'
'But this time satisfaction wont bring it back. I don't wanna loose you Sora. Just believe me when I say you don't need to know.'
I sighed, "What's wrong honey?" my mother looked back at me. I shook my head. She probably knew about it too, and she kept it a secret from me.
"Nothing."
Authors note: alright so about the whole Organization being brainwashed, once Sora defeated them, they came back to life brainwashed. Ikh ope that clears it up? But yeah! Right now I'm finishing the AYACDV? My last story I just abbreviated it. So ummm YEAH! :D I'm hungry .3. And I'm starting to like Kairi now, as long as she stays the fuck away from the yaoi couples I'm fine. And in case you haven't noticed, Kairi is gonna be with Naminè!
