A/N: Hey guys! This is a complete remake of Sora no Hikari! I just thought that the previous story really needs a remake so I decided to make one. This story is based on KH1, but we're going to be seeing it from a different perspective. The plot is… well not like the KH1 script. I will only put big events in the story. Other than that, it's completely new.

I'll keep the previous stories because well… I kind of like them… If you guys want to check it out, they are called Sora no Hikari. But I warn you guys, it's a 100% different.

Previously this story is about Xikari, a Nobody of Kairi that has the heart of Ven (Yikes… I know right?) But don't worry, that's all going to change. This story is about an OC, yes, but I promise you guys she's not a Nobody or a Princess of Heart.

I realized that I'm in the danger zone because my OC is named Hikari and she's the little sister of Sora. But meh… I could probably hit it off.

So enough of me talking and let's get on with the story!

Summary:
They expected to see the outside world when they made that raft. They just didn't expect seeing it without each other. Traveling to new worlds, magic and fighting all kinds of evil villains. All the while looking for friends and families? This is just the beginning.

Chapter 1: the day when it all happens

"—ikari—Hikari!"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm listening. I'm listening." The brunette sleepily replied, rolling on her side to get a better position. A second or two passed. It was complete silence. The only sound that could be heard were the sound of waves gently splashing against the shore. The brunette went back to slumber at the calming sounds. "Ack—?! Selphie! Seriously! What the heck?!" she suddenly yelled, shooting up to a sitting position.

Selphie giggled. "What? You're the one who fell asleep." She twirled the white feather innocently between her fingers. At the sight of her best friend rubbing her ears intensely to get rid of the tickling sensation made her giggle even more. "You should've seen the look on your face though. It was hilarious!" she laughed.

Hikari glared, giving a pout. "What's so important that you have to tickle my ear with a feather?" she crossed her arms, blowing a strand of hair from her eyes.

The green eyed girl shrugged. "You suddenly fell asleep when I was telling a story about a boy who shares the Paopu fruit with the girl he loves." She sighed dreamily, intertwining her fingers together as she stares at the tree by the small island.

The other brunette groaned. "Selphie. You told me this story like a bazillion times already. I know how it ends. It's like the boy eats the fruit with the girl and yada, yada, yada, live happily ever after. The end." She summarized as she laid back down on the warm sand. She crossed her hands behind her head, using them as a pillow. Her blue eyes stared at the leaves above her.

Selphie rolled her eyes, a small smile one her lips. "Oh Hikari… it's totally more than that." She said. There was a brief silence before she decided to change the topic. "Are you really serious about going out to the sea?" she asked.

Hikari hummed, closing her eyes. "Yeah! It was mainly Riku's idea after asking about Kairi's home, but other than searching for Kairi's home… I also want to know what's going on out there." she answered.

Selphie smiled. She always wondered why her friend was so curious about 'the outside world'. "So how's the raft coming along?" she asked again.

"It's coming out nicely! We just need a few things and we're good!" Hikari said.

Selphie blinked. "But shouldn't you be working on it right now?"

The brunette suddenly shot up from her position. She turned to face Selphie and gave her a somewhat sheepish look. "Uh…. I'm on break?" she nervously said, raising her shoulders.

"Hah! Hikari and the word work together? Get real!" A hand pushed her head down in a playful manner. She let out a small grunt when the person didn't let go. She glared at him, a frown on her lips. The boy in return grinned. "Selphie, perhaps you don't know all that about Hikari." He tsk-ed.

Selphie raised an eyebrow and placed her hands on her hips. "Oh? What don't I know about Hikari? We've been besties since we were like three." she said and she showed the boy her hand. "I know that she likes sleeping, chewing pencils, picking her nose when no one's looking, a brother complex—," she listed, raising a finger each time she pointed something out.

"HEY! I admit everything, but I do NOT have a brother complex!" Hikari shouted, her face turning red from embarrassment.

Tidus and Wakka burst out laughing. "We know all of that! It's an open secret!" Selphie joined the two, leaving the brunette sulking.

"Argh! You guys are impossible!" Hikari groaned and a small smile appeared. They always tease each other like this. She really couldn't stay mad at her friends. She averted her eyes to the two boys. "What are you two here anyway? I thought you two were 'too busy playing blitz ball' to talk to us." She quoted.

Wakka tossed the ball up and caught it with one hand. "We were, but Riku saw us and asked if we've seen you or not."

"So we told him yes and he told us to tell you that he wants you to meet him at the raft you guys are building." Tidus continued, a smirk on his lips when he saw Hikari pulled a look. "You are in sooo much trouble!" he sniggered, pointing his finger at her.

Hikari gave him another look. "Oh ha ha… real mature, Tidus." She gave a sarcastic laugh. She stood up and patted the sand off her clothes. She took Selphie's hand and helped her up to her feet. "Well, I'm off! I'm gonna see Riku. See you guys later!" she said her goodbyes, running towards where the raft is.

"Just don't forget to bring me souvenirs!" Selphie joked.

"You got it!"

"C'mon Kairi, Riku! I'm telling the truth! There was this big thing attacking me!"

Kairi giggled, "Are you still dreaming, Sora?" she asked as she helped Riku attach the sail.

Sora shook his head. "I'm not! I wide awake! It was just so bizarre…" he mumbled the last part, looking at his palm.

"Maybe you were just dreaming because of that movie you watched last night." Riku said, glancing over to Sora.

"That has nothing to do with it." Sora huffed, crossing his arms. He took the wooden sword beside him and swung it around. His blue eyes stared at the wood. He raised the wooden sword to the sky, still staring at it.

Riku stared at how Sora was staring at the sword and smirked. "So you wanna have a little spar?" he grabbed his own wooden sword and jumped off the raft, leaving a baffled Sora behind. He walked a few feet before going down to his signature fighting stance. "C'mon Sora, I'm waiting." He taunted.

Sora immediately jumped to his feet and stood in his own fighting stance. "You're on, Riku!" he grinned, determined to win the fight. "I got a feeling that I'll win today so be sure to watch! Okay, Kairi?"

Kairi shook her head with a small smile. "Sure, sure…"

Sora quickly charged at Riku and the silver-haired teen blocked the attack. Sora stepped back and swung his wooden sword, charging continuously. He wasn't going to give Riku a chance to fight back. One little slip and it might be Riku the one attacking him non-stop. The two wooden swords clashed in a loud thud, forming an X.

"Giving up already, Riku?" Sora grinned.

Riku scoffed. "Really?" he put some force and pushed Sora back, surprising him. The silver-haired teen quickly turned the tables. He quickly encountered Sora's previous attacks with his fast ones. Sora was taken aback, he tried blocking Riku's attacks the best he can, but a hit to Sora's shoulder made him retreat back, huffing and puffing tiredly. "What's wrong? Giving up already, Sora?" Riku smirked, placing his sword over his shoulder.

The brunette frowned. "Quiet you! Look which one of us is winning!" he pointed his sword at Riku.

Riku laughed. "Gee, I wonder?"

"Alright, alright, I think that's enough sparring for one day." Kairi stood between the two and smiled. "We should really continue fixing up the raft." She looked at the other direction when she heard someone calling. "Speaking of the raft…" she trailed off.

"Hey!" as if on cue, someone shouted. The three friends looked up and saw the youngest of the group running towards them. Sora grinned and Kairi smiled at the girl. Riku on the other hand, crossed his arms as he tried to look mad. He gave the famous 'you're late' look. She panted and placed her hands on her knees for support. "I know I'm late, but I have a good reason this time!"

Riku raised an eyebrow. "Oh? We want to hear it." He said.

"There was this baby cat that was just looking for his mommy and I just had to look for it and—," Hikari stopped when she saw Riku's black glove really close to her face.

"Stop. We don't want to hear your lame excuses." Riku crossed his arms. "Tidus told me that you were with Selphie."

Hikari laughed sheepishly. "Hehehe I lost track of time? Well it's true! I can't tell when the one hour break is over without a watch." She huffed childishly.

"Ooooh! I like that one better than your lame cat excuse." Sora grinned, placing his arm over her shoulders.

Riku rolled his eyes. "Like brother, like sister… I guess." He ruffled Hikari's hair and turned around. "By the way, did you get the coconuts?" he asked and was met with silence. "You forgot, didn't you?" he sighed heavily.

Hikari laugh sheepishly. "Hehehe ups? But don't worry! I'll go get it right now!" she said and ran towards the nearest coconut tree.

"I'll come with you." Kairi said, following the young brunette. When she reached the coconut tree she saw Hikari trying to climb up the tree. "What are you doing?" she asked, looking up.

The brunette grunted as she tried to hold her position. "Getting… coconuts!" she was halfway up when she couldn't hold on any longer. Slowly, she slid back down and released her hold of the bark, laying sprawled on her back. "Ugh…" she groaned.

"You know, you could just shoot them with your slingshot, right?" Kairi pointed out, helping Hikari stand back on her feet.

"Good idea!" Hikari exclaimed, reaching into her pocket. She grabbed the self-made slingshot both Sora and Riku made her when they were little. She took a marble and placed it in the center of the pouch. "Step back, Kairi. I'm gonna shoot!" she told as she aimed for the coconut.

One by one, the coconuts fell to the ground. "Boom! Four coconuts ready to serve!" Hikari twirled the slingshot, a smug grin across her lips. Kairi shook her head and both girls went to collect the coconuts. One suddenly fell from the tree, almost hitting Hikari's foot. "Uh… make that five?" she grinned as she picked up the marbles she used as ammos.

Kairi giggled. "Can you believe it, Hikari? Tomorrow… we're going to set sail to the outside world!" she said excitedly, carrying some of the coconuts.

"I know right? It's going to be real fun! I just know it." Hikari agreed and carried the rest of the coconuts. "Maybe we'll find your home first!" she continued.

Kairi smiled. "Maybe… but whatever happens we'll always be together, alright?" She turned to face the younger girl. Even though she was still smiling, her eyes showed something else.

Hikari stared at Kairi's worried look. "Kairi is something—,"

"Well! We should hurry and finish up! After all, we don't want to wake up late tomorrow!" Kairi suddenly exclaimed, cheerful again all of the sudden.

The brunette was unconvinced, but nodded anyway.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

"Hey, Hikari, do you think I should bring an umbrella?" Sora asked as he held the beach umbrella.

Hikari thought for a moment before nodding. "Eh… I think we should! Don't wanna get sunburn, right?" she said.

"Good point."

The two brunettes were in Sora's bedroom deciding what they should bring tomorrow. So far, they agreed on almost everything. Starting from useful things they might need for the trip to unnecessary items like toys.

"Would it be a good idea to bring snacks? I know we have coconuts and mushrooms, but…" Hikari trailed off, expressing that she dislikes the idea of eating the same food every day.

Sora brightened up at the idea. "That a good idea! We should bring some of Mom's cookies! Riku and Kairi would love them!" he exclaimed.

"Hikari! Can you come here for a moment?"

The two siblings looked at the door when their mother called.

"Just in time. Be right back, bro." Hikari said to Sora. She jumped out from Sora's bed and headed towards the door. "Coming mom!" she shouted.

"Can you also bring sodas too?" Sora shouted from his room.

"Sure!" Hikari yelled back, walking backwards into the kitchen. Her blue eyes scanned the whole room. Her father was lounging by the table, reading a book. Her mother was in the kitchen, preparing dinner for four. "Hey Mom, what'cha need?" she asked as she went to one of the high cabinets.

"Are you two still preparing for tomorrow's trip?" Her mother questioned, glancing back at her daughter.

Hikari took out the cookies from the jar and placed them inside the food zip bag. "Yeah! We need some more snacks though…" she said.

"Leave some for your dad please." Her father said from the table, staring at the amount of cookies Hikari was putting inside the zip bag. Hikari gave him a grin before leaving half of the cookie jar behind. "Thank you." He smiled.

Her mother rolled her eyes. "If you're going to bring some snack, why don't you bring something healthy? Like fruits or vegetables?" she suggested.

"Got it covered, mom. We have coconuts and mushrooms." Hikari went to the fridge and took out four sodas.

"Mushrooms are not vegetables." Her father corrected.

"They are too, dad. They grow from the ground." Hikari retorted. She turned to her mother. "Is there something you need, mom? You did call me." She placed all of the items on the island, waiting for her mother to talk.

"Oh yes, the trash hasn't been taken out." At the mention of trash, Hikari slumped down to the island. "You forgot didn't you?" her mother crossed her arms and gave her a look.

"Oh c'mon, mom! It's not like Sora doesn't forgets it either!" Hikari argued. She stared at the trash can before looking back at her mother. "Besides, can I just wait until after dinner? You're going to throw out some more anyway." She said, referring to the potato skins.

Her mother kept on giving her the look. "Do it now, young lady."

"Do as your mom says, Hikari." Her father sided.

Hikari groaned before taking the trash out. "Fine… you just want me to leave the cookies and sodas behind, huh dad?" she pointed an accusing finger at her father as he just gave an innocent shrug. "I'll be back soon and don't touch my snacks, dad!" She gave him a look before exiting the house through the back door.

As soon as she went out the cold breeze hit her skin, sending shivers down her spine. The night was colder than usual, she noted. She dragged the bag of garbage to the spot where the garbage man always picks it up in the mornings.

"Why do I have to take out the trash now? I can just take it out after dinner or tomorrow…" Hikari mumbled under her breath, clearly annoyed at the fact that she has to take out the trash. "Arghhh it's too cold to think!" she groaned as she dumped the garbage near the lamppost.

The sound of thunder rumbling and lightning flashing broke her from her rant. She looked up, facing the small island. Dark storm clouds were forming above the small island and lightning kept on flashing.

"A storm? I thought the weatherman said tonight's going to be a clear night." Hikari said to herself. Her blue eyes saw a blur of red. "Sora!" she shouted, getting his attention.

"Hikari!" Sora stopped running and waited for Hikari to catch up. "There's a storm coming and the raft can't be washed away!" he said frantically.

"Okay! Just let me tell mom we're going to be late for dinner. I'll meet you there." Hikari said and ran back to the house.

"Wait! How will you get there?" the two stopped running.

"I can borrow Selphie's boat!"

"Okay! Meet you there!" the two ran towards separate directions.

Hikari slammed the backdoor open, alerting both of her parents. "Hey mom, we're going to check on the raft! There's a storm coming and we can't let it—,"

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, shaking everything. Her mother and father quickly ducked down beneath the table as Hikari held onto the doorframe to keep herself from falling. The ground continued to shook for a few more seconds before it completely stops. The brunette stood still, glancing around to inspect the damage. She looked outside and her eyes widened. There was a dark ball up in the sky.

"Are you alright, honey?" Her father helped her mother up.

"Was that an earthquake?" Her mother asked, a concerned look across her face.

Her father nodded. "We have to get out… there could be an aftershock…" he glanced over to Hikari. "Let's go Hikari—What the!" he paused when a dark portal suddenly appeared on the floor.

Hikari looked back to her parents and her eyes widened in fear. Black ant-like creatures emerged from the ground, staring at everything with its beady yellow eyes. They looked…unhuman. She took a step back when more black creatures appeared. They were making their way towards her parents. She panicked as she searched around the kitchen, looking for something to get their attention.

"H-HEY! You!" Hikari shouted. She threw a bottle of soda at one of the creatures' head, gaining its' attention. It turned its' attention to her. Her shoulders tensed when its' eyes made eye contact with her. "Yeah! I'm the one who threw that! Me! You want to mess with someone, it's gonna be me. Leave my parents out of it, got it?" she nervously said, backing away slowly.

She stepped aside just in time when one of the creatures lunged at her.

"Hikari!" both her parents shouted in worry.

"Don't worry! Run!" Hikari shouted, moving around the island to avoid the creatures. She grabbed her mother's hand, encouraging her to move. They ran to the backdoor and Hikari quickly opened it. "Whoa!" she yelped when something pulled her up.

The dark ball she saw earlier has turned to a vortex. It was trying to suck everything in, almost like a tornado.

"Hikari! Just hang on, okay?!" Her mother told her, holding onto her hand tightly as the vortex tried to suck her daughter in.

Hikari gritted her teeth as she tried to hang on. "I—I can't!" her hand slipped from her mother's grasp, sending her into the vortex.

"Hikari!"

Her name was the last thing she heard when darkness swallowed her vision.
