Oh hell yeah!!! I am back yet again, but this time I got a new story!!! If you people remember, I'm the one who wrote SLAVE and its sequel TROUBLE, which I have yet to finish. Bear with me people. I have school and family issues to deal with at the home base here, but I also just got Internet back at my house (I've been reading and reviewing at the school library, which wouldn't be cool if I got caught reading yaoi...). HOORAY!!!! So now I might be able to update faster, but that depends on what goes down here at the house. So please bear with me!!! Here's my new story, BLUE-EYED BRAT!!!!!!!!!

Chapter One: Memory Lane
By: Asura Mori
"Riku!" I turned my head slightly to look at the King, a small figure in the distance, wondering what had him so worked up. Had he found something concerning the illusive Organization XIII? Or maybe they had found us? Or... had they found my sleeping friend, Sora?
I could feel my gut clench at the thought of the younger brunette, the one I dared to call "my friend." I really doubted that I even deserved to call him that after what I had done... though I was trying to make amends for my actions by traveling with the King, but that was no excuse for what I had done. I had betrayed the one person who was like a brother to me and for what? Power... to defeat that same person. What kind of friend did that make me?
Thinking back, it had almost been a full year since I'd seen Sora. In order to get his memory back, Sora had stepped into a pod on Namine's advice. What Sora hadn't known, was that he wouldn't even remember his trip to Castle Oblivion, and would probably be confused when he woke up and found himself in the pod. Poor Namine, she had sacrificed everything in order to save Sora's memories, even though she was at fault for him losing them in the first place. Namine was a special type of Nobody. There are all types of Nobodies, and even some that take human form, but they lack one thing: A heart. Namine was created when Sora became a Nobody, but didn't lose his heart. King Mickey thinks that Namine is a combination of Sora and Kairi, since Kairi's heart wasn't lost when our island was consumed by the darkness. Instead her heart had taken residence in Sora's body, and when he freed her heart from his body, he lost his own, becoming Heartless, and that's how Namine was born.
Nobodies are born when a person with a strong will loses their heart. Like I said earlier, there are all kinds of Nobodies, though there aren't as many as the Heartless. Nobodies are intelligent and more dangerous than Heartless. The strongest of these Nobodies, Organization XIII, seem to want to become whole again... but at what cost they will do so is unknown to our little group of fighters. Anyway, Namine was special. She could walk into someone's heart and place memories there that were never actually there in the first place. She had done so to Sora, but when she was ordered to erase his memory completely by the traitor Marluxia of Organization XIII, she blatantly refused. As a result, Marluxia and Sora fought, Sora wanting only to save Namine even though his memories were fake, and Marluxia wanting Sora to help him overtake Organization XIII. Just guess who won? Marluxia was a pansy that fought with flowers, so Sora obviously kicked his sorry ass.
Anyway, after I had left Castle Oblivion with the King and a mysterious man that I only knew as DiZ, we started chasing Organization XIII, especially when I found out how Ansem was involved. I shuddered at the thought of that golden-eyed devil. He had used me, back when I still hated Sora, and possessed my body to open Kingdom Hearts. I was such a fool back then. I had let my hate and jealousy of Sora overrun me, knowing that every step I took was away from him and closer to the darkness. I had fooled myself, telling myself that it was for Kairi, whose heart had been lost. I just didn't want to admit that I didn't want to be alone anymore, that I hated Sora for taking Kairi and leaving me alone. It was obvious that Kairi and Sora liked each other, and I hated that. I didn't want to be the third wheel, the one who always got left behind. I wanted...
Never mind, it doesn't matter. Like I said, Ansem played me for a fool, using my hate to fuel his own purposes, until it led to his possession of my body. The funny thing is, he didn't make me accept the darkness. No, I did that on my own, thinking only that I could finally defeat Sora. The instant I gave into the darkness, Ansem had won. He took over my body and cast me into darkness, where I watched as he fought with Sora. I could only watch as my best friend placed my dark Keyblade to his chest and released Kairi's heart and could only scream silently as he fell and disappeared. Ansem had started towards Kairi and I chose then to act. I made myself reappear in front of Ansem, to give Kairi and the others time to get away. Ansem let them, then turned his power on me, forcing me back into the darkness, where I could no longer resist him. After that, things got fuzzy.
Sora must have defeated Ansem, because when I awoke, I was still in the realm of darkness, but now there were also Heartless with me. That's when I first met the King and he told me to close the door to light. I ran over to the door, but then paused, wondering if I could just go back, have a normal life with my friends. Back to the island, back to my old life... that's what I wanted to do, but then I heard Sora's voice on the other side. That's when I knew that I couldn't go back, not yet. It was too late for me, but Kairi and Sora could still be saved. I heard Sora saying the door wouldn't budge and grabbed onto my side, screaming at him not to give up, that together we could close the door. He asked what would happen to us and then saw the Heartless. I yelled at him to hurry, before the Heartless could get to their side. I looked at my friend one last time, seeing how wide and sad his blue eyes were, and asked only one thing: "Take care of Kairi, will you?" Then the door was shut and I was stuck in the Realm of Darkness with King Mickey.
To close the door of darkness from both sides, you need two keys and two hearts.
Anyway, that was basically it. All that led to Castle Oblivion, Sora's memory loss, and my own journey through darkness. I could hear the King still calling my name and turned to look at him again, confused. Why in bloody hell was he yelling? We were deep in enemy territory. I really didn't want Organization XIII finding out we were here... and planning on kidnapping the one called Roxas... Now the King was pointing... behind me... Shit.
I turned around quickly, seeing the portal of darkness that was customary with Organization XIII's arrival and felt someone grab my shoulders. I hadn't reacted quickly enough and now the enemy had captured me. Great. This day just kept on getting better and better. I yanked away and started to run over to the King, but felt one of the arms wrap around my waist, while the other was placed over my mouth. I didn't know which one of the bastards had grabbed me, but I was not about to go into that portal of darkness. I started to summon up my Keyblade, Fenrir, when I felt my body go cold and my grip on reality failing. Damn it... And that's when everything went black, leaving me completely defenseless...
To be continued…
Darkness claimed me
Light made me
But now I'm lost
And my heart is torn
A.M.- I rewrote the first chapter because I felt like I was rambling... and I still think I was in this chapter... but at the same time I think this one is better than the first... AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD DAMN MY THOUGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...Don't ask. Four hours of sleep just isn't working... Anyway, I usually hate going down memory lane, but it makes a good first chapter and we all know that Riku wouldn't have been captured if he hadn't been distracted in some way. Yada-yada-yada. I've said this before and it's getting a little old now... Anyway, hope you liked and please review. Oh yeah, has anyone figured out why this story's called BLUE-EYED BRAT? Review if you wish me to continue...
No shout-outs right now, cause I can't really think... my brain's fried... too much coca-cola... damn you Fourth of July... Anyway, I refuse to update until I get some more reviews. As Naruto would say: "Believe it."
