'Kay, so in light of my last fanfic I'm actually going to write a proper, non one-shot one. And it's on my favourite subject of all time, KINGDOM HEARTS! Some R&R would be nice too…it's sad when no one reviews…Anyway, here we go! Oh, yes, a quick note before I start. I do not own any of the characters in Kingdom Hearts. They belong to the general public. However, I am going to do everything in my power to get Riku. He rules! Anywho…here's the fic!

Prologue

Sit back and think for a moment. What if everything had turned out differently? What if the storm had never come? What if she had never been trapped on Destiny Islands?

Kairi sighed, watching the waves lapping gently against the sand. The events that had transpired so recently already felt like they had occurred years ago. And she still hadn't forgotten. No, she would never forget. But would he remember? She thought so, but there was always that small nagging doubt in the back of her head.

He's forgotten you.

"No!" shouted Kairi, jumping to her feet. Tidus, practising on the platform behind her raised his eyebrow at her sudden outburst, but continued his sacred practice none-the-less.

But you can make him remember.

Kairi sat down again, listening to what the voice proposed.

Give in to darkness. We can give you the strength to reach him.

Once she would have never surrendered to darkness. But now…

"What must I do?" she asked, with a determination that didn't suit her.

Just open your heart to darkness. Darkness will do the rest.

You would have never seen it coming. Kairi, once so pure and happy, now a minion of the dark out of sheer desperation. It's a crazy bunch of worlds we all live in. The unexpected always happens first.

Meanwhile…

It was a world none dared walk upon. Well, almost no one. There was only one living inhabitant there. Two, if you counted the living puppet. But that was hardly being alive. Who was the mysterious inhabitant? Its face was hidden by a black hood, making it impossible to make out any features. Except the smile. It had her in its grasp. A princess of heart. A minion to the darkness now. A fitting irony, but she would be a valuable asset. The keyblade master would be powerless against her. And then they would both belong to the darkness. All of the worlds would fall. Kingdom Hearts would belong to the darkness.

"I have no use of you anymore. Get out of my sight," this revealed the person as a woman. The puppet slowly stood up and began to walk away. It vanished before it reached the door.

Maybe once that puppet had been powerful. But then there were the bigger and better things. It was a useless toy now. But maybe later she would call it back again. Unlikely, really. The impossible were usually the things that came to pass…

Things to come

What will happen to Kairi, now evil's minion? Who is this mysterious woman that seeks domination of all worlds? What sort of fate will befall the puppet? Where's Riku? And what's going to happen to Sora, the person in the middle of all this? You'll just have to keep reading to find out.

Well, there we go! My first Kingdom Hearts fanfic is done. And don't worry; there will be more to come soon. But until then…you'll just have to puzzle the various mysteries out for yourself. Until next time!
