Setting:            Sora's got a secret admirer and she's messing up his life. She's left notes written in her own blood, items he hasn't seen for years, and disturbing photographs of his friends. And with each day he refuses to be with her, one of his friends die.

Disclaimers:            I do not and will not ever own cute lil' Sora or his buds. Disney and Square Enix do. I do own some characters in this ficcy, though.

A/n:      This is my first KH Fanfiction. I hope it's good and thanks to Third Rabbit for giving me the idea. ^__^… Anyways, on with the fic…!

"Admit it, Sora! You've got yourself a hot chick!"

"I do not!"

"Yes, you do! And just wait-I'm going to tell Riku!"

"You'd better not!"

"Big baby…"

            Creamy white skies framed the Eden paradise of Destiny Islands as the smell of sweet ocean water brushed everywhere. It was warm outside and the laughter of the residents' children could be heard echoing in the air.

            Letting the wind brush his light brown bangs, two sapphire jewels stared at the small and sweet fragrance smelling letter, noting the dotted hearts, the use of pink and red shades, and the X's and O's. A small tint of cherry appeared on his cheeks as he folded the paper up and stuck the note in to his pocket. A young girl stood infront of him, her hands on her hips.

"Why'd you do that!? Sora, are you crazy?"

Sora looked at her with exasperation.

"Lay off, Mercedes."

            Mercedes frowned and crossed her arms. She was a honey colored girl with long, very dark hair with streaks of gold running in a pattern. She wore her normal attire; a black tank top and short shorts. She and many others had moved on the islands only a few months ago.

Mercedes placed her arms behind her back and rocked.

"Well…aren't we chicken?"

Sora twitched.

"What was that?"

"Aren't you the little chickadee?" Mercedes mocked. "The coward. The chicken. The yellow bellied one."

"I don't care what you say," Sora stood up, dusting himself off. "I'm not going to show anyone the letter."

Mercedes frowned at him, obviously losing her patience.

"Then, I'm going to tell Riku."

Sora rolled his eyes.

"Tell Riku." He sniffed. "I still won't…"

"Tell me what?"

            The two quickly glanced around to see a fifteen-year-old platinum haired boy, sitting on the limp of a coconut tree, staring at them with his pretty turquoise eyes. Riku jumped from the limb and walked over to them. Sora gulped.

"Riku, how long have you've been there?"

"Not long enough," Riku inquired and glanced at Mercedes. "What's going on? What's Sora hiding from me?"

Sora frowned as a twinkle was sparked in Mercedes' big eyes.

Mercedes clung to Riku's left arm and grinned.

"Oh, Riku! It's the cutest thing! Sora's got a-"

"Shut up, Mercedes!" Sora tried to hush the sugar high girl only to see her ignore him.

"As I was saying, Sora's got himself a girlfriend."

Riku immediately stared at Sora. A look of laughter was on his tan face.

"You have a girlfriend?" Riku questioned with almost goofiness in his eyes. "Well?"

"N-no way!" Sora insisted in a hiss. "Some girl wrote me a creepy letter."

"Let me see it."

            Sora hesitated as Riku showed impatience. If he didn't give it to him, Riku would simply wrestle him down and take the note from him, making it even more embarrassing. Sora slowly gave his best friend the letter and blushed. Riku unfolded it and began to read slowly, Mercedes looking over his shoulder.

Dear Sora,

            Year after year, I've watched you. From when you first started talking to other people to even when you were fighting the heartless, I fell in love with you. It was like … destiny! Where ever you step, I take the sand, land, or ground and place it in a special section in my room. I've got old jackets and silver necklaces you used to wear when you were a toddler. OH, were those the good old days… You, Sora, enchant me. Did you know you blink almost 1,589 times a day, even in Math class? Well, you do. I count them, observing your sapphire eyes, your beautiful eyelashes, and your handsome face. When you bleed, I take that blood and cut myself just so I can share the same pain as you do. Won't you fall in love with me or can you even find out who I am? I'll be waiting for you…

Yours forever,

Anonymous

            Riku looked up at Sora, who shrugged with innocents. Glancing at Mercedes, he frowned and folded up the letter.

"Talk about obsession," he murmured. "This girl has problems."

Mercedes nodded in agreement.

"This stuff is creepy with a capital C. I wonder who it is. How do we even know it's a girl?"

"Don't get me started," Riku frowned at her.

"What should I do?" Sora placed his arms behind his head. "Should I respond?"

Mercedes frowned at him.

"Are you insane?" She snapped at him. "If you do that, this chic or whoever wrote this stuff's gonna be after your butt like those heartless things you used to fight."

Riku shook his head.

"For once," he began, "Mercedes is right. If you answer to this person,  you'll probably be in for a big surprise."

"I see," Sora grasped the letter in his hand. "Think I should show it to Kairi?"

Mercedes rolled her eyes.

"You moron. If you show that to Kairi, you can kiss that date you have with her in three days goodbye."

Sora goofily nodded. "Oops! I almost forgot about that."

"Let's get going," Riku inquired. "All this talk about secret admirers and stuff is starting to scare me."

            As the three began to walk toward the Seaside Shack, a figure appeared from out of nowhere. Dressed in shadowy clothing, the figure glanced at Sora from head to toe, took out a notebook and pen from the coat, and began to write in it.

Time of the day: Noon

Objects collected: Sand that was stood on

Comments:            Got the letter, but friends are intimidating him. Must find a way to get passed them.

New:     Sora blushed when they discussed about me! I'm finally getting to him.
