It's summer! And I need a great new project. What better vessel than a Kingdom Hearts Fan-fic? This is my prelude chapter into a journey I call: Kingdom Hearts 3/Hearts United. Enjoy and please review! I appreciate all comments

And me no own Kindom Hearts, so you no sue.

Silence.

Until now, the powers that exist of this world were simple

Kairi awoke from a slumber a rapping was to be heard at her window.

Good. Evil. Desperate.

Light. Dark.

Heartless. Nobodies. Hearts.

She pulled her blanket around herself and gently rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Who was calling at such an hour?

The Worlds of the Universe had been through turmoil.

But they were at peace.

She peered through the darkness of her window pane out onto the village around her. No-one appeared to be there.

"Hello?"

The Keyblade.

For years it had been the weapon which wielded much sorrow and much joy

And had finally sealed Kingdom Hearts from the forces of evil.

Kairi turned towards her bed, but the rapping returned. She whipped around and through the window open.

There was a boy on her street with peculiar grin.

All seemed well.

"Um, hello? Who are you?"

The boy grinned even wider and threw something over his shoulder.

Kairi's eyes opened widely as she stared at the object.

Could it be?

It wasn't him. But there was no mistaking the brilliant glow the glinting blade held in the shadows of darkness.

Birth by Sleep

Death by Sight

"What are you doing with the Keyblade!?" She called out to the stranger. He raised his eyebrows, and began to pull with his finger at her, beckoning her to come out to him.

Kairi had been through a lot these past few years. Much more than any other woman on this island she felt. Her childhood naivety was slipping away, and she was wary of this figure with his Keyblade and sinister grin.

But it had been an awfully long time since something had happened around here.

Cycles are infinite in these strange worlds we live in.

And darkness never dies in the hearts of men.

Where are we to turn, when we have masters in both realms?

Half-Lights. Half-Darks. Half-Lings.

Here we go again.

Kairi slipped outside her room into the night. She had wrapped herself in a large blanket, for it was chilly and it made her feel less vulnerable. She had also brought her lucky charm with her. A girl could get sucked into a vortex of darkness very easily these days. Best have some luck with her.

The boy's shadow came into her sight as she turned the corner and out onto the street.

"Hello?"

The boy walked closer and closer, the Keyblade's light outlining his body shape, but none of his features.

"Are you Kairi Hakoshima?" The shadow suddenly spoke. He had a deep voice, much deeper than Sora's and perhaps just a little deeper than Riku's.

Kairi nodded. The boy knew who she was. Something was up.

"My name is Ven. Ven Nokoyuri. I'm here for the girl who saved the world from the Heartless. Are you her?"

Kairi furrowed her brow. "I'm…..I didn't save…..You must be mistaken……"

But she halted for the boy came into her view, and she could see him as he truly was.

"Do I know you……………?"

The blonde haired boy with startling blue eyes laid a hand on her head, and in an instant everything went dark.

"Sora………"
