Hey everyone. Here's a story which I came up with; it's going to be a humour, adventure story with a bit of romance. It's the first and only story I'm doing where the protagonist OC doesn't have feelings for the character she's going to be paired up with. I wanted to do something different.


Kingdom Hearts: Hearts Journey

Chapter 1

A young 15 year old girl sat on the edge of a little island. She stared into the distant across the ocean with determination. Her chestnut short hair which went past her chin blew in the wind. Her bright purple unusually unique eyes stared and sparkled. She vowed deep inside her heart; she would explore the worlds to find her past and her home.

The teenager wore her usual attire of clothes; white sleeveless t-shirt, tucked into blue high waisted jeans, purple checked hoodie with a grey hood and purple high top trainers (converses).

She wasn't much of a girly girl and didn't really like wearing girly clothes like skirts. The young teenager was a tomboy since she was 7, playing and sparring with the boys, racing around, chasing people, playing pranks and so on. She wasn't like Selphie who loved skipping rope nor was she like Kairi who loved collecting seashells and making things. The 15 year old girl felt like she could never be creative.

"Hey May!" The said girl was snapped out of daze when she heard a familiar boy's voice. She turned her head to see the boy; Riku. The teen smiled at her softly at him which made his heart beat faster. May returned the smile with her own and her dimples appeared.

"Riku!" She exclaimed excitedly.

He walked up to her and held out his hand. The chestnut brunette took his hand and he pulled her up. Riku kept hold of her hand as he stared at her; he had a big crush on her.

"Um Riku…" The girl he liked trailed off. He realised that he was still holding her hand.

"Oh snap, sorry." He apologised immediately.

"It's okay don't worry." She stated with a wider smile.

"So what are you doing here, all alone?" He asked curiously.

"Thinking about the journey to the outside worlds, that's all." May mumbled as she turned to stare at the distance again.

"Oh. Well we better get back to work on the raft." He suggested and she nodded.

"Yeah, you're right!" The young teenager exclaimed and they walked on the bridge. "Riku?"

"Yes, May?" He asked as he turned to her.

"You go ahead; I just need to tie my laces." Riku smiled and nodded.

May crouched and tied her shoes and the silver haired 15 year old sprinted to the seashore. He turned his head and waited for the girl he had a crush on.

She finished tying her shoe laces and jumped from the bridge. The brown haired 15 year old wanted to land gracefully but she fell on her head. It made it worse that she hit her head against a seashell. Riku smirked and snickered really quietly; May was so clumsy and it made him laugh.

"Why do you even try?" A voice asked and the teenage girl growled when she heard the voice.

It belonged to Alexis. He was Riku and Sora's childhood best friend. The boy was 15, older than both Riku and May. He was tall for a 15 year old at 5ft 7in. He had black soft hair which was a bit wavy, dark green eyes, pale skin and a muscular build.

"I try because I know I can succeed." She retorted and he walked up to her.

"Just give up. Trying is the first step towards failure." Riku smirked at what Alexis said whilst shaking his head. The dark haired teen poked the girl's head where she had a little bump. May whined with pain.

"I'm not gullible!" She growled.

"Oooooh! May learnt a new big word and she used it in a sentence. You deserve a treat!" He said ever so sarcastically.

May grinded her teeth together and stood up. But the brunette teenager stood up too quick and felt dizzy. She was about to fall onto the sand again but Alexis grabbed her arm and pulled her up.

"Hey Clumsy, be careful! You don't wanna hit your head again, this time you'll get brain damage." He joked.

May glared at him with a pout; she didn't like Alexis at all. The purple eyed girl smacked him hard on his shoulder and he rolled his green eyes.

"Pfft, you thought that hurt?" He asked.

"Oh shut up! You big bully. Watch, I'll be stronger than you someday." May stated with determination.

"Hm, highly doubt that. Good luck with it though." He called as she walked off.

"Alex, cut her some slack. You always bully her around and pick on her, since we were kids." Riku said.

"But it's funny though!" Alexis laughed. He stopped laughing when he saw Riku crossing his arms. "Aw c'mon Riku. I know you love her and all but…"

"Shhh!" He hushed him and the dark haired teen put his index finger on his own lips. "What if May hears you?"

"Seriously, Riku? Loads of girls on the islands love you. I have a feeling she likes you back." Alexis said.

"Yeah, but you know she's really close with Sora. They're like…a couple! What if May likes Sora and he likes her back? I can't compete with him; he's one of my best friends." Riku sighed.

"Don't be ridiculous, Riku. Sora and May are…best friends." The green eyed teen huffed when he said best friends. "I bet they're just friends anyway. No need for you to worry, Riku. I mean it's pretty obvious Sora likes Kairi and she likes him back."

"Yeah, you're right Alexis. I'm so glad I have a best friend like you." The silver haired teen said and Alexis smiled.

"No problemo, you can always count on me!" He said with the thumbs up.

They walked to the seashore and saw Sora, Kairi and May.

"Alright guys, we need to work on the raft. It's almost finished. We just need to get some supplies." The brown haired girl stated.

"She's a really good leader." Riku mumbled and smiled.

"I've made a list of things you need to get. If you need help just find me and I'll look for it with you." May said.

"What are you going to do, May?" Kairi asked.

"I'm gonna go do the raft. We need to make sure it works too." She said with a smile and the others nodded. May gave Sora and Kairi their lists and went to work on the raft.


Time passed and May was finishing up on the raft and looked up to the ocean.

'How in the world will I check if it's okay, if it breaks and I fall into the water, I'll drown cuz I can'tswim?' She thought and looked up to see Riku walking.

"Riku!" She called out and he turned to her. He smiled at her and walked over to her.

"Hey May, what's up?" He asked.

"Well I just finished the raft. I wanted to check if it's okay on the water but I can't because I can't swim." She explained. "I was wondering if you could get on and check yourself."

"Of course, anything for you." He stated and they pushed the raft into the water, with the brown haired teen using her strength. May blushed at what he said and gulped.

'Wait, what am I…?' She placed her hand on her heart to feel her heart beating as she pushed with one hand.

Riku managed to push the raft to the water and she tripped over her laces. May fell into the water and fell face first into the shallow ocean.

"Oh my, are you okay?" Riku asked with wide eyes and she got onto her knees. She spat out water like she was a fountain.

"Ugh, salty!" May exclaimed and Riku started laughing.

She rubbed her eyes and looked up at him. The purple eyed 15 year old smiled and laughed too. He opened his eyes and saw a starfish on her face. He kneeled down and took the starfish off her face and put it into the water.

May looked up into his eyes and it was as if time stopped for a moment. They were so close to each other and her heart was beating like a drum. He kept his hand on her cheek and cupped her face.

"May, I lo-" He was going to whisper but someone interrupted.

"May!" Sora ran and they pulled away. They turned to the boy and Kairi who stared at them both like fishes.

"Ermmm…" The auburn haired girl slurred and elbowed the boy next to her to say what he needed to say.

"We can't get the coconuts off the tree!" Sora exclaimed and they stood up.

"Oh um, well we'll help." Riku mumbled.

"Yeah, come on let's go." May said walking quickly to avoid awkwardness and them seeing her blush. The silver haired teen stared at her and sighed; she wasn't interested in him.

They walked up to the tree and looked up at the coconuts.

"We can't get the coconuts. I mean they're really high up." Kairi said.

"Move aside little kiddies." Alexis said and lightly pushed May to the side. She growled at this. "That includes you, May."

"You're only older than me by 2 months!" She hissed.

"Yeah, whatever shorty. Now leave this to me." He rubbed his hand and looked up at the coconuts.

The dark haired started climbing up the tree and then just as he was about to reach a coconut, he lost balance and fell down the tree. May giggled and patted his head.

"Well you tried your best." She said sarcastically. "And you call me stupid; you're the idiot here."

She put her hands on her hips and looked up at the tree. Her eyebrows furrowed together as she examined the situation. She could try running up the tree but it was a really tall tree. Then the brown haired 15 year old got an idea.

May cracked her knuckles and got ready. She landed some hard and strong punches and kicks on the tree trunk. After this, a coconut fell onto Sora's head.

"Ouch!" He yelled with pain and rubbed his head. They laughed at him and he grinned goofily. He tried punching the trunk but hurt his knuckles. Riku gave him a play wooden sword which he used and they collected many coconuts.

Time passed by and the sun was setting in the distance. The sky was a dark purple turning to dark blue. The ocean sparkled from the setting sun and the stars in the sky. Sora and Kairi were sitting on the leaning Paopu Fruit Tree. Riku and Alexis leaned against the tree whilst May sat cross legged near the edge of the mini island facing the sunset.

She was in her own little world just thinking about her old world. She wondered what it was like before and what it may have looked like. The purple eyed girl looked down and saw something she was working on. She started to carry on with her very small project.

"So, Kairi and May's home is out there somewhere, right?" Sora asked.

"Could be. We'll never know by staying here." Riku stated.

"But how far can a raft take us?" Kairi questioned.

"Who knows? If we have to, we'll think of something else." Alexis said.

"Riku, so suppose you get to another world. What would you do there?" Kairi giggled.

"Hmmm, well I haven't really thought of it. It's just…I've always wondered why we're here on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one?" Riku thought out loud. For a second, May stopped what she was doing as she heard a voice in my head. It was the same voice which spoke to her the night she was found on Destiny Islands. It was as if her first memory.

"It may be a very small world but it has light and it's safe. Just remember, as long as you have light inside your heart; you'll be able to do and defeat anything." It was a woman's voice and for some reason, May felt as if she's met her before…somewhere…

She finished her little project; there were 4 white and black origami boxes. Inside them were 4 small origami flowers shaped like Paopu fruits in each box; a red, blue and green flower and the 4th was red, blue, green, yellow and violet. She put a Thalassa Shell and a little bell in each box. She closed the boxes and sighed. Somewhere in her dreams she saw 3 of those shaped objects; they were good luck charmed with stained glass windows as petals. Then she heard the phase; "…the fruit represents an unbreakable connection…"

"Then ours is just a little piece of something bigger." Riku mentioned and May looked up it was as if this reminded her of something. She closed her purple eyes and saw a young man. His face was blurry but she could point out that he had brown hair and blue eyes.

"May, you've spent all your life here. But remember that this world is part of something way bigger. There are worlds outside this one. All those stars in the sky represent the worlds. Someday, you'll be strong enough to explore them all…"

"May?" She heard Riku's voice and snapped out of daze. May turned to see them all standing up and staring at her.

"Are you okay?" Alexis asked and she smiled.

"Yeah of course I am! We better get going then. You guys go ahead; I just want to be alone for a minute." She said and Riku got a little worried. Nonetheless, they all left but Sora stayed. He watched as his best friend looked at her little creations with a sad look on her face.

"May…" Sora trailed off and sat beside her. He placed his hand on her back. "There's something wrong, isn't there?" She put all of the 4 boxes into a large glass bottle and put the cork in.

"Sora…" She turned to him with a tear falling down her cheek. "We're going to the outside worlds. What if we don't find my home? What if I can't get my memories back?"

"You'll find your home, don't worry!" He said positively.

"But how will I know it's my home without my memories?" She asked.

"You'll feel it, in your heart." He stated.

"I'm scared, Sora. It's scary not having the memories from your past. Without my memories, I have no past. It's like I'm forgetting people and things which are really important." May explained. Sora could see she was getting really negative, fearful and worried.

"May, when you remember one memory; it might remind you of another and another. Memories are connected together. It's like how I forgot where I put something. I remembered what I did during the day and it reminded me of another thing, then another thing. Before I knew it, I found what I was looking for!" He explained.

It was as if she had regained hope. Her face brightened up with happiness as she grinned. May cuddled Sora tightly and sighed. He hugged her back with a gentle smile.

"Thank you…Sora." She mumbled.

"You know you don't have to thank me. I'm your best friend." Sora replied.

They stood up and Riku watched them from a distance. He sighed and looked down with his hand on his heart. His eyebrows furrowed together and he grinded his teeth together with jealousy.

May got onto a boat with Sora and Riku. She looked at the sun which had finally set. She looked around at the ocean and then down at the bottle. Then the young woman decided to follow her heart and threw it far away in the water.

"Where are you sending it to?" Sora asked curiously.

"I don't know. I don't even know who it's for. I just want to leave it to destiny, that's all. But I have a feeling that whoever the bottle reaches to, will know the meaning of what's inside it." May stated. She was smiling but then it dropped. She looked up at the sky; something bad was happening outside, really bad. For a minute, May saw a star go out.


Somewhere else…

A blue haired woman stared at a once beautiful Castle jutting out of an ocean of darkness. She looked extremely horrified from it and gasped.

"No…" She whispered and placed her hand on her chest. "May, wherever you are, I hope you're safe…"


There! I hope it was good everyone. Thank you for reading and please leave a review! :D
