A/N: So I don't really know the story of Kingdom Hearts well, but I've read enough of the fanfics and finished playing one of the games awhile ago to know the story well enough. AU. OC.

Rain Spell

Chapter 1: Rain

"Damn! I should have listened to the weather channel and brought my umbrella! It's raining so hard right now." I gritted my teeth and tried to cover my sketchbook as much as I could as I made a mad dash for the cover of the cafe across the street.

"Come in, you can dry yourself off in here."

I turned around and looked at the pretty lady with the sweet smile and green eyes. "Oh, thank you, but no thanks. I need to get home now."

"No, no, I insist." She said as she pushed me inside.

I protested, "N – No, I can't -" As I was pushed inside, immediately I could smell flowers and the sweet aroma of coffee and pastries. "A – Are you baking bread?"

The lady giggled, "Yes. Would you like some?"

"It - It smells good," I admitted.

She chuckled. "I'll take that as a yes."

I blushed and looked down at my shoes.

"Here." She handed me a hot chocolate, a warm cinnamon roll, and a towel.

I rubbed my hair a bit and dried myself as best as I could before she took the towel from my hands and said, "Let my help you with that. Go on and eat up while it's still warm."

I sheepishly took a bite of the cinnamon roll and sipped the hot chocolate. It was so good. Better than anything I've ever tasted. I blushed. It felt nice to be taken care of. I can't remember when the last time I had this warm feeling of home was. Probably when I met Sora, my sister's boyfriend. He had a nice smile too.

I looked around the cafe. It had a great view and was very calming. Immediately images began to form in my mind. "Wow," I breathed. "Can, can I come here again?"

She laughed. "Of course you can sweetie." I blushed. "My son goes to Destiny High School too you know."

I smiled. "Really? I go there too!"

She smiled. "I know. You're wearing the logo on your shirt."

I took a bite of the cinnamon roll and blushed again. She's so sweet. Kind of reminds me of Sora. Sora. Hmmmmmm.

"Your son wouldn't happen to be Sora, would it?" I asked.

She looked surprised. Am I right? Wow, so this is Sora's mom, she's so nice, just like Sora. "Are you friends with him?"

"Yeah, I am."

"You wouldn't happen to be Kairi's sister would you?"

Now it was my turn to be surprised. "Yeah, I am. I'm Namine."

"Whenever Kairi comes, all she can talk about is how her twin sister would love this place." I blushed. My sister knew me too well. "So do you like this place?"

"Yeah," I admitted. "I wonder why Kairi didn't tell me about this place sooner." I finished the cinnamon roll and hot chocolate.

"Oh, she said something about it being a surprise for you next week."

I thought for a moment. "Oh! It's our birthday next week!"

"She's really sweet."

I smiled. "Yeah. I Know. So Sora's mom?"

"Oh, just call me Aerith."

I smiled shyly, "Aerith?"

"Yes."

"Thank you, but I have to go now."

"Of course. Here. Take this umbrella with you." She said as she handed it to me.

"I can't. I've barged in on you enough. I'll be fine. Oh, and pretend you don't know me when Kairi brings me here next week, I don't want to ruin her surprise for her."

Aerith nodded and said, "Take the umbrella, its fine."

I shook my head and said, "Thank you, but I've bothered you enough," before running out of there. She stood at the doorway and looked at me. I stopped and waved, calling out to her I said, "I can't wait to see you next week!"

She smiled and waved back. I turned around and ran forward all the way home with this giddy feeling in my chest. I hugged my sketchbook close and smiled thinking of all the new things I could draw.

So that's the first chapter. I know its really short, but all its really doing is introducing things. This chapter ended up different from what I was going to make it originally, but it still works out. So awesome. Please review.
