Ch. 1: Memory's Tears

Hey, peoples! I'm T. J.!

Though you should know that.

But anyways, this is my third story, first one got deleted because I got tired with it, and I really don't care about people criticizing me. So, yeah.

My sis says I say "yeah" a lot. Do you think I do?

Rambling, anyways, this story was written with my sis checking all of it.

Heh-Heh. Stalker.

See? Right now she's reading it over my shoulder.

She says it's so she can check my mistakes and stuff.

Anyhoodle, I don't own Kingdom Hearts, or else there would be someone with a sign saying "RANDOM GUY" going through the epic fight scenes.

That'd be hilarious. It's like David being attacked by a rabid Pikachu…

LAWL! I wish I could see that. But enough with the randomness.

Dedicated to the only game character I ever looked up to, the good Archmage, Warlic. May you rest in peace. Even if you were resurrected.

Song of the Chapter: The Churchyard by Voltaire

A girl with wavy black hair and dark brown eyes was looking at a group of games in front of her. She was deciding which one to play, Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts, Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, 358/2 Days, or Coded. There was a loud knocking at the door. "Door's open!" she called out. The girl heard the door open and close, and then she felt hands cover her eyes and a voice saying, "Guess who!"
"Jaydon! What did I tell you about doing that!" she cried as she shoved his hands off her face and turned to face him.
The boy had black hair and also dark brown eyes, but his skin was much paler than the girl. "C'mon, Kila, you know you like it!" he teased her.
She just huffed indignantly and asked, "Are Porsha and David here too?"
"You thought we wouldn't show up, Kila! I can't believe you." came a mocking voice from behind Kila and Jaydon. They both turned to see who had spoken.
Kila smiled. "Hey, Porsh." She said to another girl with brown frizzy hair, which was pulled up in a pony tail. Behind her was another boy who had wavy black hair with some gold streaks in it. His brown eyes were currently fixed on the screen of an ipod.
"Hey, Roxas." Porsha replied.
"C'mon, David, put that thing down already!" complained Jaydon to his best friend.
Kila reached over and yanked the head phones out of David's ears. "Earth to David! Earth to David!" she yelled.
Said boy looked up with a confused expression on his face. "Huh?"
"Ah, well, at least we know it's still David." Porsha said.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means you act like a zombie when you have that thing."
"At least I didn't get mad at my dad's ps2." David said as a smile appeared on his face. "And gave it a name."
"Hey, guys," Kila interrupted. "which hat do you like best?"
Everyone turned to her. "What?"
"Which hat do you like best?" she asked as she held up a black fedora and a hat that looked like a small black top hat.
"That one." Porsha said as she pointed to the small top hat.
"Same." called Jaydon from his seat on the rug.
"Yup." said David as he sat down on the sofa.
"'Kay. Thanks." said Kila as she put on the hat kind of slanted.
"Sooo, what are you doing, Kila?" asked Jaydon as he looked down at all the games spread out on the ground.
"Oh, I was-" there was a knock at the door. "Door's not locked!"
It opened to show two girls. One had shoulder length caramel brown hair and brown eyes while the other girl had blonde hair that reached her ears. Her blue-green eyes looked around the room until they spotted Jaydon. Then they narrowed into slits.
"Hey, Roxy!" called the girl with brown hair, completely oblivious to her companion.
"What did I tell you about calling me 'Roxy'." grumbled Kila as she went to her friends. She pulled them both into hugs. "Anyways, Ri-Ri, we were just sitting around. Right, Luxy?"
"Yep." called Porsha as she studied the games.
"Hey, Amanda! Hey, Kaylien." said Jaydon as he avoided eye contact with Kaylien.
"Hi." Amanda said as she wandered into the room.
"Anyways, make yourself at home. I'm going to play Birth by Sleep-" Kila interrupted her self as she broke out into giggles with Porsha. A couple of seconds later and they managed to control them selves. "Okay, I'm going to play BBS," she avoided saying Birth by Sleep. "and you guys can watch if you want."
"Sure!" they all said.
"Okay, wait up." Then she went to grab some sodas.
Suddenly, she heard screaming in the next room and sounds like something swishing through the air. The only things that she knew that made those sounds were Unversed.
"AAHHHH!" I screamed as I woke up.
I looked around the room frantically. Okay, no Unversed. It was just a dream. The Unversed couldn't exist anymore. Vanitas was dead. Xehanort was gone. The Master was dead. Aqua was trapped in the realm of darkness. Terra was somewhere I couldn't even begin to think about. And Ven was gone too.
I felt the tears well up in my eyes. All those memories were too painful. I had to keep going. And today was the day. The day that the Heartless would take over Destiny Islands.
It was ten years since me and my friends were somehow sucked into the world of Kingdom Hearts. We had helped Ventus defeat Vanitas. But I had lost my friends after that. Then I had trained under Master Yen Sid. And ended up having a small singing problem. But it was okay.
I summoned both the Dawn of Hearts and the Mockingjay. I felt comfort from holding the Keyblades. I remembered the day that Master Eraqus helped me name them. He did so much for me, and I failed to save him from Terra.
The Master was like a father to me. He told me once that I was like a daughter to him. He had cared so much about my well being.
Okay, stop. I had to get to the beach in time to help them.
Sora, Riku, and Kairi.
The new Keyblade Wielders.
I put on my small top hat. I have had that hat for ten years. It was still as good new. I was wearing a shirt that looked exactly like Aqua's, except that it was black and dark blue, instead of blue and light pink. My pants were like Ventus's except that they were a bit baggier.
I touched the small button that would summon up my armor. I hadn't used it since the Keyblade War.
I walked to the door and opened it and walked out into the beach.
I looked about for the raft that they were building. I quickly spotted it and a boy around my age lying on the sand.
His brown spiky hair was flattened against the ground and his hands flailing around. As if he was fighting off Heartless.
"What Jaydon would give to meet him." I whispered.
Soon, a girl with red hair approached the boy. She was wearing a white tank top and a pale purple skirt.

The boy quickly awakened. I could tell that the red headed girl had startled him.
Then, I began hearing bits and pieces of their conversation. They reminded me so much of Ven and Aqua.
Soon I heard the familiar music start playing out of nowhere.
Yen Sid had said that songs would start playing when I am feeling a strong emotion.
Thanks, Master. That helps a lot.
"A bell in a churchyard
It yells for me to begin
And my hands they tremble and shake
While a chill burrows under my skin
It rains in the valley
It rains from the sky
And it's raining deep inside my soul,
And it pours up and out of my eyes
Not long ago, you were here in my arms,
And I swore I would protect you from harm.
Now here we are.
On this hill, 'neath the tree at the churchyard at dawn."
While the music was playing and my voice coming out of nowhere, both kids were looking for the source of the sound.
"How could we've fallen so far?
The earth is a blood-red clay,
That cakes to my heels.
And the spade grows heavy as lead,
But my heart is heavier still.
In a bow, there's a raven
And his eyes fix me with a stare.
Then he turns and screams at the sky.
And it burns, like the truth in my ears.
Not long ago, you were here in my arms,
And I swore I would protect you from harm.
Now here we are,
On this hill, 'neath the tree
In the Churchyard at dusk.
How could we've fallen so far?"
I saw a silver haired boy, who seemed a little older than the others, join them in their search for the sound.
"No one should fine out how it feels,
Standing here, hoping and praying
You'll awake from this awful ordeal.
No one should find out what it's like,
Standing here, digging a hole in which to bury
Your child and your wife.
When they are finished,
They look like wounds on a hill.
Two graves, that lay side by side,
For my life, and my lover to fill.
No one should find out how it feels,
Standing here, hoping and praying
You'll awake from this awful ordeal.
No one should find out what it's like,
Standing here, not having the means
To buy the medicine to save their lives."
When I finished the song, I sank down to my knees. Then felt the tears start cascading down my face.
I heard the foliage in front of me being pulled away to reveal me.
"Uhh... Guys! You have to see this!" I heard a voice call.
"Umm," It was the same voice, clearly unsure of how to approach. "My name's Sora."
"Kila," I whimpered. "I'm sorry if the music scared you."
I figured the sad music had startled him.
"Oh, it was you?"
I nodded, and then looked up to see a face framed by brown spikes near my own.
"Hey, Sora," I looked up to see the silver haired boy from when I was singing. I quickly recognized him as Riku.
Ten years and still remembered all the characters and their faces and voices.
"Who's this?" he asked.
Only then did I realize, Amanda was right when she said her namesake kinda looked like a monkey.
Sora turned to him. "Her name's Kila," then he looked back at me. "Right?"
I nodded. Then I quickly rubbed my eyes, trying to dry the tears.
"Well, come on, Sora. We have to finish the raft, remember?"
"Right."
As Sora got up, I quickly grabbed his hand. "You're building a raft? Like, to go to other worlds?"
He looked at my hand clutching his, and then looked at me. "Yeah, why?"
Even though I knew that the Heartless would take over tonight, I had to help them.
"Because I've wanted to go back to my original world." I said, knowing that it would spark the boy's interest.
"You're from another world?" scoffed Riku.
I growled deep in my throat. Hopefully, Riku wouldn't die before Kingdom Hearts II happened.
"Yes," I said, while rolling my eyes. "It was called 'The Land of Departure'."
"'The Land of Departure'?" asked Sora, his excitement clearly showed.
I nodded. "I had trained under the great Master Eraqus."
"Whatever, come on, Sora. We have to finish the raft." Riku said.
"Oh, then I'll come with you!" I quickly said. "I can help."
"Sure!" Sora said before Riku could respond.
I quickly got up and dusted off my pants and strode into the open.

I had to find my friends. But, after I finally leave Destiny Islands. Then, I could search.

And I had a feeling I knew where they were.
