…That pain torturing my heart…is it love that all long for … Or hatred that all despise...

Out of nowhere, appeared two figures all dressed in white, a few yards apart in an empty moonlit lane, in a world known as Radiant Garden. Their long cloaks flapped with the wind as they stood there in silence gazing at each other. Their eyes sliding in and out of the moonlight showed sorrow and hope for peace. One of the two figures, finally broke the silence, the voice showed she was a girl," Any news yet?'

The other figure, nodded and replied in a deep masculine voice," About to be released."

The girl smiled under her disguise and said," Perfect! The leader must be overwhelmed."

The well hidden man replied," You know your role very well, right?"

Nodding, the girl opened her mouth to say something, but both of them stiffened as a whisper filled their heads, not heard by anyone except for them," Kingdom Hearts is OURS!"

Nodding, they looked at each other and disappeared leaving a black for of darkness where they had been standing.

Chapter (1):

The Nightmare

"Kairi… where are we going?"

The young man asked, being pulled by the red haired young lady, who was leading him across the sandy beach.

Fed up with her silence, the young man said," Kairi! What has gone into you?"

Finally, stopping in front of a large wooden log where they used to sit with their friend, Riku, she turned around and said," We're here!"

Sora stared at her for a few seconds and then, looked at the sun as it was setting in front of them. Looking back at her and whispering in her ear, a smile was drawn on his smooth face. "Somebody needs some attention, huh?"

She giggled as she put her hands on his cheeks and played with his spiky hair. Smiling, he fixed his gaze on her while whispering, "Hope Riku doesn't show up!"

Smiling, Kairi said," You know he won't forgive us that easily. Especially that we haven't spent much time with him lately."

A wide grin was drawn on his face as he imagined his friend looking at him with that soft smirk on his face… That smirk that was always noticed when he's about to throw another joke at his two best friends.

His thoughts were cut by the voice of Riku calling at him," Sora! Watch out!"

Riku pulled him away from Kairi and said," Sora! That's not Kairi!"

Sora looked him in the eye and said with a smirk," Somebody is jealous, huh, Riku?"

Shaking him violently, Riku said," No! I am serious!"

Laughing, he turned around to face Kairi, a smile still on his face. For his surprise, she was standing with a weird keyblade in her hand.

Before even being able to ask about it, she rushed at him and was going to hit him if it weren't for Riku who pulled him away and defended himself with that soul eater of his.

Getting on his feet, Sora saw Kairi disappearing and Riku looking back at him with sorrow.

"What happened?"

Riku put his hands on his best friend's shoulder, shook his head slowly and said," Sorry, buddy!"

A hole suddenly opened under Sora's feet and he felt himself falling into never ending darkness. Surprisingly, he hit the ground … a circled piece of ground in the middle of nothingness and on the ground; there was the photo of Ansem the Wise.

As the ground shook under his legs, he summoned his loyal keyblade to be ready to face whoever opened the hole and as he did that, someone appeared at a short distance from him, all covered in a white cloak and a whisper was heard," Kingdom Hearts is mine!"

That stranger summoned a long black spear and waved it in the air, so a black fire appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them. Sora was about to attack that person, but for his surprise, his keyblade disappeared. The stranger was rushing at him. Knowing he had to dodge the attack, he felt he couldn't move as if he was chained to the ground by some invisible power. The stranger almost hitting him, he closed his eyes and waited for his doom, but nothing happened.

Opening one eye slowly, he saw silver hair right in front of him and as he opened the second eye for clearer vision, he found out it was Riku… with the spear going right through his heart. As for the stranger, he was gone.

Feeling his body again, he carried Riku who was paler than ever and cold as ice.

"Riku", he whispered, but no reply. Slowly, Riku's body faded away and Sora was left alone in the darkness.

"Riku" he screamed, but heard nothing but the echo of his very own scream.

…..

"Sora!"

"Riku!"

"Sora! Wake up!"

On hearing that, Sora opened his blue eyes to stare at a worried Kairi looking at him.

"Sora! Are you okay?" She asked in a cared voice.

Still not completely awake, he didn't reply. Instead he asked her," Is Riku okay?"

Kairi smiled and put her hands in her waist saying," Riku WAS sleeping in the next room like a baby, but I am pretty sure he is awake now after all the commotion."

Still looking at her, not fully aware, he asked, "It was just a dream?"

She passed her fingers in his hair and replied," Yeah! It was just a dream, silly Sora! Now that everything is okay, will you please come help me prepare breakfast?" Heading to the door, she called back," Bathe and get downstairs!"

Sora waved her voice away and lied in the bed to resume his sleep, but jumped in his place on hearing her saying," Oh! No, you DON'T!"

Mumbling in his place a little bit, he walked slowly towards the bathroom with his head in his spiky hair.

…

"It's about time!"

Sora smiled back at his well-built silver haired friend and sat down for breakfast: Seagull eggs and toast.

Riku smiled at him and asked sarcastically," What was all the "Riku! Wait!" thing?"

Recalling snapshots of that nightmare made Sora shiver. Not wanting to remember the details, he replied simply," Nothing!"

Riku narrowed his eyes and said," You woke me up from a wonderful dream for nothing. I hate you!"

Smirking at his friend, Sora was going to ask him about that beautiful dream, which he knew was about a girl. Riku is never going to change. But, he decided not to when Kairi came towards the table to place a plate with some toast.

Sitting down, she accidentally dropped a fork, so she picked it up and went to wash it again.

Noticing a blank look on Riku and a small smile slowly appearing on

his face, Sora knew it was that dream he had that was making him that happy, so he whispered to him," It's about a girl, huh?"

Nodding slowly, Riku didn't seem to be aware of what he was saying, so his best friend took advantage and, smirking, he went on, "How did she look like?"

Sighing, Riku looked down at his plate and said," Long blond glittering hair… very white face… sparkling ocean blue eyes…and I am not going to say anything more."

Sora jumped in his place at that last sentence, as Riku suddenly hit the table with his fist.

Riku smirked at him and Sora knew he was going to hear some joke about him and Kairi, but he suddenly paused and stared deadly at Kairi.

Looking at Kairi as well, Sora noticed she was standing in her place not moving and suddenly, they found themselves looking at her picking up the fork and heading again to the sink to wash it.

Riku looked at Sora who shrugged at him as he stood up and went to Kairi.

"Kairi! Are you okay?"

She turned around to him and said teasingly," I am not the one who has

been screaming in my sleep."

"Why are you washing that fork again?" He asked trying to keep his tone natural.

Kairi replied casually," I dropped it!'

"Again?"

Looking at him with one eyebrow raised," When exactly did I drop it

before?"

Sora looked at Riku who was staring back at him and then, turned around to face her questioning look and said," Never mind! That stupid nightmare made me confused, that's all."

….

After a silent breakfast, the two boys left Kairi at home saying they would have some training.

They were sitting at a far side of the beach staring at the sea, when Riku finally spoke up," Is it just me or did Kairi do some thing twice today?"

Not looking at Riku, Sora replied with his hands behind his head," She did repeat her actions."

Examining the worried Sora, Riku asked him," What do you thing could that mean?"

Sora shrugged his shoulders and lied on his back staring at the clouds.

"What exactly did you dream of, Sora?"

Not wanting to scare his friend, he decided not to tell him of his death or Kairi attacking them, so he stated," I was in a fight with a stranger and I fell into the darkness, so I was calling for you."

Not seeming fully convinced, a smirk was drawn on his face as he said," Of course! You know deep down that you won't be able to survive without your courageous, strong, handsome friend Riku." He took a side glance at Sora who didn't seem to be paying him any attention, so he lied next to him and said," This is going to be a weird day!"

"Argh!" screamed Sora when something or someone jumped on him.

Riku sat down in his place to see what was jumping on Sora. It was Donald and Goofy and poor Sora was suffering under their hugs.

"Hey there, Riku!" a squeaking voice. No sooner did Riku turn around until a wide smile was drawn on his face.

"Your majesty!"

Mickey smiled at him and then, came to sit down on the white sand next to Riku. Sora could be heard in the background shouting," Enough, guys! I missed you, too!"

After all the commotion, sitting down all together, Riku asked," Your majesty, why are you all here?"

Interrupting him, Sora said," Not that we are not happy to see you

guys!"

Mickey laughed and said," Well, the worlds need you, two, again!"

Both Sora and Riku were staring at him with wide eyes and complete silence.
