Hello one and all! This would be my first attempt at writting a fanfic for Kingdom Hearts! I hope you enjoy!

I'm trying a few different writing techniques for this fanfiction. Instead of writing chapter after chapter like I used to. Instead, I have wrote 5 chapters and will attempt to stay ahead by 3-5 chapters. If I ever fall short of that, then I will take a small break to catch up. Just so everyone knows

Disclaimer: I do not own KH or it's predescers and/or spinoffs.


Chapter 1: Prologue

Sun; high in the sky. Skies; blue as the water below. Everything was in order at the usual hang out spot; an island off the coast of a small town. Destiny Island was a fairly large, uninhabited strip of land that was occupied by lush greenary and tries that produced the rare Paopu Fruit. The only people who used the island now-a-days were three teenagers, and the heroes of our story.

The first child was named Sora. Age 15. At such a young age he has visted and saved worlds from total destruction. This spikey haired boy was holder to the awesome power of the Keyblade, Kingdom Key. His attire at the moment consisted of a white button-up short sleeve shirt with a blue tie hanging loosely around his neck. Blue pants and black shoes complete his outfit.

The second child, Riku, was 17 years old. His story is vastly different from Sora's. Instead of going to other worlds and protecting them, he was aiding the forces of darkness, albeit for a noble cause at first. He soon became jealous of his younger friend and sought more power, falling deeper into the darkness. But with some assitance, he was able to break free from the curse and return to the island. His out wasn't so much different from Sora's, but his tall, athletic physique coupled with long silver hair that almost covered his eyes made the two boys look completely different.

And the last child, a woman, was Kairi. She was 15 and was the most normal of the three. Her adventuring experience came from mostly kidnappings and other ill events, but she was always saved in the nick of time by her best friends. Her outfit was very similar to the boys, but was a tank top button-up shirt, a blue skirt that stopped above her knees, black knee high socks and black shoes. Her red hair, blue eyes, and slight height disadvantage made her stand out between the two boys.

Our story picks up with our heroes and heroine leaving the school yard and heading to the island. Sora and Riku had to stay back for alittle longer than expected. Partly to finish their make-up work (that Kairi wasn't able to forge) and mostly because of the food fight that Sora started by dumping pudding into Riku's hair. Why did he do it?

"For the lols, ofcourse!" Was his response to Kairi.


Leaving the school yard always felt good. It felt as if you were leaving a prison from a long sentence of 6 hours. In the case of Sora and Riku, who didnt leave until they served their sentence of 2 hour detention, it felt as if they were seeing the sun light for the first time.

Sora shielded his eyes with a hand and squinted his eyes to help adjust the the brightness. His friend Riku didn't seem to have a problem with the light.

"Has the sun always been that bright?" Sora moved his hand away from his face and continued walking down the pathway.

"No, they just changed the light." The sarcastic comment came from Riku, who found pleasure in mocking his friends from time to time.

"You know, no one appreciates a smart ass Riku." Sora nudged Riku with his elbow.

"I appreciate them." Was his reply. "Besides, your eyes are just really sensitive."

"No, your eyes are just covered by hair."

"And who's fault is that?"

"Yours for not cutting it! Im surprise no one said anything to you today." Sora placed his hands behind his head. "I come back I get a, 'Oh welcome back Sora.' But as soon as you step into the room, everyone starts to fall head over heels for you."

Riku feigned ignorance the best he could. "Really? I didn't notice." He grinned. "It's probably the bodywash I used." He let out a short chuckle.

"Yeah yeah." Sora couldn't help but smile alittle. Times like these were always nice. It beat putting his life on the line on a daily basis. And although his welcoming was short lived he enjoyed seeing all of his classmates again.

"So have you decided what you're going to do?" Riku broke the momentary silence.

"Hm?"

"About the note? The King's Letter?"

"Oh yeah! The letter about the Mark of Mastery." Sora's voice began to drop towards the end. He had never heard about the Mark of Mastery before. Then again he never really found any experts on the Keyblade. The wisest person he knew about the matter was King Mickey and he never brought it up before. "Isn't it obvious? I have to do it."

"I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about Kairi." Riku's voice got alittle more stern. "Odds are she won't be able to tag along with us."

"I don't know Riku." Sora looked up. "She has gotten better with her Keyblade. She even knows Strike Raid now."

"Strike wha?"

"Strike Raid!" Sora stopped and lifted a fist into the air triumphantly. "It's when you throw your keyblade and summon it back to you in rapid session! It's really powerful and helps with ranged attacks."

"...Why not just shoot the beam of light from the end of you Keyblade if you need a ranged attack?" Riku suggested.

Sora gave Riku a puzzeled look and tilted his head to bit. "Because I don't know what to call it."

The silver hair man sighed and continued walking. "I don't think I'll ever completely understand you Sora."

"Hehehe." Sora grined and ran after his pal.

"So how's her magic?" Riku tried to get off of the giving a simple act a name.

"Kairi doesn't have any aptitude for magic. I tried to tech her, but it never seems to work."

"What do you tell her?"

"Point your keyblade and shout 'FIRE'!"

"...You serious with that?"

"Yeah. Works for me." Sora looked down at his watch. "We're going to be late! C'mon Riku!" Sora broke out into an all out sprint up the hill, leaving a dumbfounded Riku at the bottom.

'Who should I be more concerned for? Kairi for having Sora as a teacher? Or Sora's mentality?' Riku released a slight chuckle and sprinted after his best friend.

On the island, Kairi waited at the dock for her two best friends. They were running alittle late, even for having detention. Her legs dangled over the wooden planks and her toes dipped into the water. Next to her was her very own Keyblade, Destiny's Place. Her and Sora had agreed to go over some combat basics before he departed for Disney Castle with Riku. It was odd though; Even though it was Riku's suggestion to teach Kairi how to use the Keyblade, Sora ended up the teacher somehow.

"Hey!"

Kairi snapped out of her thoughts and looked up, seeing Sora and Riku on a boat heading for the island. "Sora! Riku!" She shouted and waved, swinging the Keyblade into the air. She giggled abit watching the two boys coming towards the island.

Sora stood right foot on the head of the ship. Riku was behind him, rowing the both of them towards the island. Sora had his Keyblade out and pointed it towards the island.

"I don't care what Jack Sparrow told you. You're. Not. A. Pirate!" Riku said, irratition in his voice.

"Quiet first mate Riku! Land ahoy!"

"Now you're the lookout?"

"Aye!"

"Argh."

"That's the spirit Riku!"

"I'm not playing along."

Finally reaching the island, Sora jumped off and onto the dock, grinning at Kairi.

"Sorry we're late. Detention let out alittle late and we lost track of time." Sora sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.

"Not to mention we had to finish cleaning the cafeteria." Riku added in, stepping onto the dock.

"Oh yeah! Did you get the pudding out Riku?" Kairi asked concerned. She was there when it happened of course; they share the same lunch. When it happened, she was obviously concerned and confused as to why Sora did it, but she found some humor in it.

"Yeah. Luckily it wasn't too bad." Riku snickered playfully. "By the way, don't get upset when I get my revenge Sora!" The older key bearer folded his arms.

Sora chuckled nervously. Riku, alothough as mature as he was, he was still feared for his pranking skills and vengeful nature. Those two combined has embarrased atleast the entire student body. "Err...Let's start training Kairi!" Sora ran for the open area on the beach.

"Wait for me!" Kairi ran after her teacher.

Of course, Riku followed behind, keeping to himself and enjoy the show that was sure to be put on infront of him.

Meanwhile...

In a barren desert, a single man stood in the center of a crossroad. His hunched over appearance would fool many into believing that this old man was simply lost and had no recallation of where he was. However, Master Xehanort knew very well where he was and the events that transpired during his absence. His plan had failed, just as Terra predicted and he was shown the door. Twice, as a matter of fact. One time it nearly killed him. But his fail safe of having a strong heart and determination proved to pay off when he reformed in the realm of darkness. That is where he is now; the Keyblade Graveyard had fallen into darkness after the battles and the overwhelming darkness devoured it.

Xehanort waited with both eyes closed as a sandstorm raged around him. His mind was in several different places, crafting ideas and plans. Once the sandstorm ceased, however, two roads remained. One infront of him, and one behind him. The Graveyard had been dramatically redesigned thanks the the old man, and he was proud of his work.

The road infront of him was beeing traversed by a man in a black hood. A dark face and silver hair crept from the edges along with a arrogant smile.

The road behind him had a stranger traveler. His attire was very similiar to Xehanort, but his skin was darker than both Xehanort and the unknown man. He had a symbol on his chest that was widely recgnoized as the symbol of the Heartless.

Xehanort smirked and opened his piercing orange eyes. "So this is what I became after I passed." He turned so his back was facing the graveyard. He smiled and laughed whole heartidly.

"Welcome home...Xemnas..." He turned to face the other traveler. "And you too...Ansem, Seeker of Darkness."


So that was Chapter 1! I can actually say with confidence that the second chapter will be out soon! It depends on how large of a deman this fanfic gets (Which I'm not expecting alot ~.^)
