Chapter 1:"A Weird Twist of Events"

"I only remember bits and pieces of what had happened to my world. Betrayal, is really all I remember. I couldn't believe that my ex-best friend and ex-boyfriend had both turned their backs against me and even went as far as to destroy me with darkness. 'How could they?', I could only ask myself when they sent me through this hell. But now, as I'm waking up from this darkness, eveything is just the beginning of this weird and exciting journey for me..."

"Ugh, what the fuck happened to me?", a young girl said to herself.

"Hey you!" a voice finally called out from the silence of the dark alley.

"What?" the girl replied replied in a pissed off manner.

"Wow, she looks pretty cute don't you think?" another voice said.

"Hellz yeah she does, plus she's kinda tough. My kind of girl, heheheh." another said.

All of the guys started comming out of the darkness.

"Piss off."

"Ohh, well mabey we would, but you see: we need a girl though, hahahahaha!" one of the guys said with an evil grin on his face.

"Hey!" a voice called out.

Out of nowhere a boy with silver hair and a blindfold jumped from one of the nearby buildings to the ground below.

"Leave her alone." the boy said.

"Well well well, if it isn't Riku the heartless." one the guys said.

"Leave her alone, that's all I ask." Riku said in a calm voice.

"Pfft, did you guys just hear that? Jeez, who knew how much of a wuss Riku is?"

All of the guys roared with laughter in the pouring rain. The teenaged girl ran behind him.

"Umm, thank you."

"No problem, just stay out of my way, alright?" Riku said with a cheerful smile.

"Fair enough."

As she moved away, Riku stood his ground while she was getting ready to run off if he got his ass severely kicked.

"This is you're last chance. Either you step off, or you'll be waking up tomarrow morning wondering what the hell happened."

"Ha! Like we would answer to the likes of you, right guys?" It was quiet for a second. "Guys? Guyyyyyssss? GUYS!"

All of the rest of the guys started to come out of their trances from how scared they were.

"Umm, yeah. We can beat him...BOSS WE'RE OUTTA HERE!" all of them said in unison and then ran away in the same way.

"You were saying?" Riku said with an I-told-you-so look.

"Umm, uhhhh...HEY LOOK A CHOCOBO!"

The leader ran off, trying to chase where his friends went. After a little while, Riku turned to where the girl was in hiding.

"It's alright now, you can come out."

She slowly walked out from behind some crates she was hiding behind.

"Are you ok?" Riku asked with a kind-hearted smile.

"I guess...oh my gosh, you're bleeding!" she said.

It was true that Riku was injured on his right side, but it seemed like it didn't even phase him.

"It's just a scratch. It's alright, I've been through-"

Before he was able to finish his sentence, Riku fell to the floor, cluching his side.

"Heh, guess I was wrong." Riku said.

"We need to get you bandaged up quick, before it gets worse." she explained to him.

"Right, there should be a first-aid kit right by the same area you were hiding out at." Riku replied.

"Ok, but not only that," she said while she was trying to get the kit, "we need to get somewhere that isn't wet."

"Heh, if I didn't know any better: I would say that you're a fangirl."

"Nah, I'm not. I do like you though, not because you're cute or anything, but because you saved my life."

"You think I'm cute?" Riku asked with a joking look on his pale face.

"Don't flatter yourself." she said sarcastically. "So, how did you get injured?"

"It's from earlier, from when I was fighting some heartless." Riku replied.

"I see. Well, do you know a place where I can take care of you?"

"Yeah, over here."

Riku walked over to a wall that was covered with a cloth, and moved it to reveal a door.

"This is my secret base that only two people know about."

"Who are they?" she asked, then realizing how stupid the question was.

"Me and you of course." Riku replied, even though it was a very stupid question.

Riku was opening the door, while holding the sheet. Then turned to face her.

"Well, come on. The door isn't going to be open forever."

As much as she knew she was going to regret this later, and as much as she knew that she would possibly fall in love with Riku if she entered the secret base, something told her to just go with him...for now.
