Kingdom Hearts: The Difficulty of Memories

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Destiny Island

Sora walked along the beach of the play island on his home world, Destiny Island, as he thought over some things. It had been a few days since Sora had finished his second Mark of Mastery Exam with Yen Sid, and as Yen Sid had suggested, Sora, Riku, and Kairi were now taking a quick break on their home world. "So many things we still have to do," thought Sora, as he continued to walk, "So many people to safe." As he stopped halfway on the beach between the dock where everyone tied their boats and the bridge that led out to the island that had the paopu tree, Sora looked over to the mainland, and smiled. "Even though Destiny Islands is small," Sora said, softly, "Its still such a great and quiet place to live." As he turned his head to continue walking, Sora spotted Riku sitting atop the Paopu tree in the spot he usually sat on.

"Hmm," Sora thought, as he put his hand to his chin, "When did Riku get here? Wonder what he's up too." With that, Sora ran off, entering the little shack that led to the the bridge that led to the Paopu tree island. As he crossed the bridge, Sora raised his hand and waved at Riku, and shouted, "Hey Riku!" Hearing his friends voice, Riku turned his head and grinned, waving his hand back in return.

"What are you doing out here," Riku asked, as Sora got closer. "That was my question," Sora replied, as he placed one of his hands on the trunk of the Paopu tree, "Just thinking. What about you?"

Turning his head back out toward the ocean, Riku replied, "Same. We just have so many things that we have to do." Nodding his head, Sora jumped up onto the Paopu tree as well and sat down. "Yeah," said Sora, "But when we do them, hopefully the worlds can finally be at piece." Both boys then stared off into the ocean, both being completely silent.

"Wow," said Riku, finally breaking the silence, "This is usual for you. Usually your making so much noise that I sometimes wonder if I should get some tape to keep your mouth shut." Shoving Riku a bit, Sora retorted, "I do not make that much noise. Besides I can be quiet easily." Shaking his head, Riku just continued to stare off into the ocean, not quite sure if that was true or not about his friend.

"Riku," Sora said, softly, "When you were in my heart, trying to wake me. What was it like?" Turning his head to Sora, slightly taken aback by his friends question, Riku quickly collected himself.

"Your heart," said Riku, thinking over his words carefully, "Your heart was actually something I thought it would be. It was pretty much a copy of our world. Since even though you enjoy going to other worlds, I can tell you'll always have the islands be your home." Tilting his head, to make sure he understood everything Riku said, Sora smiled. "If you say so," said Sora, as he put hands behind his head, "Was there anything else though besides that while you were then though? Since I remember you you coming back with something in your hands."

Once again, Riku looked a little bit taken aback by Sora's question. Sora wasn't always the best for remembering details like that. "Yeah, their was a little more," said Riku, as he finally answered, "Their were a total of four people there as well. Three of them each asked me a question and then fourth gave me the item. As for who they were, one was Roxas of course, another was a boy that looked like Roxas but was slightly different. If I had to hazard a guess that was probably the King''s friend he told us about, and then their was also a girl that resembled Kairi when she was younger but had black hair. No clue who she was though, but she seemed familiar in a way."

As Riku spoke, Sora listened, nodding his head about seeing Roxas in his heart, that made sense. He also nodded his head when Riku, though not knowing who Ventus was, mentioned him, that sounded familiar to him. When Riku, mentioned the girl though, that's when Sora became confused. "A girl," thought Sora, "A girl that resembled Kairi but with black hair. Who is that then?" As he began to think it over, putting his hand to his chin again, a memory flashed in his mind.

The memory showed a young Sora and a translucent young girl that looked similar to Kairi but with black hair in Sora's room, and even though Sora could not hear the girl in the memory, he could tell she was crying. "Please," said Young Sora, "Please Sis, don't cry. I just know your not a figment of my imagination or a imagery friend that I made up like Riku says. I know your my sister, I just don't know how you lost your body. I promise I will find a way to bring you back I promise... I promise,"

As the memory fainted, Sora found out he had moved his hands to his face, pinching his nose in a way that would show a headache. Seeing this, Riku asked, "You alright there Sora?" As Riku looked at his friend with concern, Sora just shook his head. "Yeah, I'm fine," Sora said, as he got up from the tree, "Just thinking to hard, that's all. Come on, we should probably head home. Tomorrow we begin our journey to save everyone, and to stop Xehanort's plan once and for all."

Though still looking at Sora with concern, Riku nodded his head. Getting off the tree as well, Riku and Sora walked back over the bridge and out through the shack that led to the bridge. As they walked, Sora though dragged slightly behind. "What was that," thought Sora, as he continued walking, "Was that some memory? If it is, who was that girl and why did a younger me say she was my sister. Could have just been a left over side effect of what happened to me during the first Mark of Mastery exam." Shaking his head, Sora decided to leave it at that. As Sora took his boat and Riku took his own, both boys sailed back to the main land, so they both could get some sleep.
