Kay, so.. This is my first fanfic, and I'm really proud of how the first two chapters are turning out. Please, please, PLEASE review after you've read this. I would really like to know what you people think about it.

Kingdom Hearts 2 belongs to SquareEnix. If I owned it, I would be rich as hell.

I love this game- the characters, the graphics, the story, the fighting style, the music. All of it. I just get sucked in while I play it. I can't help it; this game is just so good. An hour and a half after getting it, and I already think that it really is a worthy sequel.

Kingdom Hearts II- the best game that I've played in a while.

Even now, I'm playing it.

I really should thank my mom. It's the first good birthday present that she's gotten me in a while, ever since her and Dad got divorced. Now, she hardly notices that I'm here. I can't blame her, really. She's busy working to try to keep up with the bills, and I'm always with my tutor, at kickboxing class, or in my room. She's still trying to have a love life, too. Right now, it's with a guy that I think might be it. David, he's a vet. He even bought me a puppy!

I couldn't help but take a breath as a cut scene occurs. I get anxious for the story to unfold. I'm still in the beginning, in Twilight Town, playing as Roxas.

My breath caught in my throat.

Someone comes on screen. I don't know who he is. He has red hair done up in spikes that reminds me of Zack, from Final Fantasy VII. He's in a black cloak, and he's tall. Taller than Roxas. The cloak shows off his body, and reveals that he's lean, with muscle. And his eyes… They're green with… Flecks of gold? Odd. But this is a video game. Anything is possible.

The cut scene ended, and the man left with it. For some reason, I'm saddened. I can't wait to see him again, and find out more about him.

I stifled a yawn, and glanced at the clock. A little startled, I stared at it for a minute. It couldn't be that late… Could it? I yawned again, and I realized that yes, it really could be 2:35 in the morning. I'd only played my new game for about two hours… But that was logical. Mom gets home around nine-thirty every night, and we had my birthday cake after she and David took a shower and got comfortably dressed. I didn't even open up the gifts until eleven, and even then, I was playing with Bella until she got tired and collapsed on my pillow.

I yawned again, and my eyes started to droop. Reluctantly, I saved my game and turned it off. I really wanted to see if I could beat Setzer in the Struggle match, but it's hard to keep my eyes open. I changed into a silver tank top and a pair of black sleep pants, and turned to look in the mirror.

I studied my reflection for a bit. I'm not all that ugly, really. I'm tall for a girl, and I'm skinny. I'm not skin-and-bones. I'm mostly muscle. I run a few miles daily, because after my teacher leaves (I'm home schooled), I have nothing to do, and kickboxing class is only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My hair is a bright blonde from being in the sun, and it's just above my shoulders. It's straight, but kind of jagged at the bottoms. Think of Kairi's hair in the first Kingdom Hearts, and that's how it looks. I remember in elementary school, the kids used to make fun of my name. Astoria Skye Watkins. Skye is Arabic for "water." I've always liked my name. It's unique. Unlike my eyes… My eyes aren't anything special. They're brown, but I like them, because they're a deep brown with gold rings around them.

Kind of like the red-haired guy…

My heart leaped at the thought of him, and I pictured him in my head. Then, my eyes closed, and for a split second, I blanked out. They snapped back open, and I shook my head.

I scooted Bella off of my pillow and crawled into bed. She whined, but the curled up against my stomach. I smiled and pulled her closer. My last thoughts were of the man with red hair. Then, as if someone turned my "on" switch "off," I was in the deepest sleep that I've ever been in. And, what seemed like five minutes later, I was waking up in a place that seemed oddly familiar…

So there you have it. My first chapter.:) I promise that the next one will be longer, I just wanted to introduce my character before I got into the story too much. So please review, I'll give you a cookie!
