Prologue
It started off normal, the day anyway. Sora got up as he usually did and brushed his teeth. He ate breakfast like he normally did and then watched TV like he normally did. Getting used to this routine was the unusual thing. Sora had only just returned to Destiny Islands a few months ago and had to get used to not having to fight Heartless anymore.
But today was different. Today was the day in which Sora Hikari, Keyblade Master and Savior of Kingdom Hearts, would die. He would lose himself and be consumed by his hatred. But the step towards darkness starts off slowly and mostly unnoticeable at first.
Sora headed down towards the beach, Keyblade in hand, prepare to practice a few of his more powerful techniques just because he had nothing better to do. He headed down to the beach, with its white sand and crystal blue water, and stared out over the ocean. The sun hit the water exactly right, causing the water to glow and sparkle with a radiance that reminded him of Kairi.
Kairi. How much he loved her. How he yearned to go to her and express it all, tell her of his love and devotion to her. He thought to himself how much he wanted Kairi to love him back and quickly decided that he would go to see her later in the afternoon and tell her everything.
Sora stood on the beach and began to charge up his magic. He held the Keyblade up to the sky and shouted, "Thundaga!"
The heavens disappeared behind stormy clouds and thunderbolts rained down from the sky, striking the seven targets Sora had set up.
"Not bad Sora," said a cool, calm voice.
"Don't sneak up on me like that Riku," Sora said turning to face his best friend. "You know how jumpy I am after fighting all those Heartless."
Riku laughed and walked over, giving Sora a high five when he got close enough.
"Hey, are you going to Kairi's house? She invited us over to her house tonight to watch movies," Riku explained.
"I guess…" Sora said not wanting Riku to be there when he told Kairi everything he though about her.
"Good," Riku said. "Well I gotta go. Kairi wanted me to rent a few movies."
Sora nodded and Riku ran off, probably towards Blockbuster.
"There's in love you know," said a deep voice.
Sora's blood ran cold. This voice: he remembered it. It was of the scariest foe he'd ever faced. A foe more powerful than Cloud, Leon or King Mickey. One that he'd only managed to defeat by pure luck and chance. The most evil man in the universe:
"Sephiroth," Sora said turning and readying the Keyblade.
"Calm down Sora," Sephiroth said. "I'm not here to fight you."
"Then what do you want?" Sora asked. "If you're not here to fight, then you're up to something."
Sephiroth smirked and said, "As suspicious as ever. I'm only here to tell you something your 'friends' won't."
"And what's that?" Sora asked.
"That they've been secretly dating ever since you returned to the island," Sephiroth said. "That they've been hiding their relationship from you in order to avoid your anger."
"Liar! You're only trying to turn me against my friends!" Sora shouted angrily. "My friends would tell me anything, even if they were in love with each other. They would tell me even if I did get mad!"
"Really? Then how come Riku was the first to know that Kairi was inviting both of you?" Sephiroth asked.
"I don't know! Maybe she told Riku to tell me and he forgot until today," Sora answered.
"Really? So trusting of your friends are we Sora?" Sephiroth said. "I'm not here to lie and argue with you. I've told you the truth and it's only a matter of time until you find it out for yourself."
Sora charged forward and swung the Keyblade at Sephiroth's head with bone crushing strength. But Sephiroth simply summoned and portal of darkness and disappeared behind it, causing Sora to trip and hit the beach.
"Remember what I have told you Sora," Sephiroth's voice echoed throughout the beach.
