This story branches off from my other Kingdom Hearts fan fic, Flowery Sky. I recommend reading that one first!

Oh, boy. My first love story that does not involve two boys. It was hard to decide whose point of view to choose! XD

I don't own Kingdom Hearts 0_________0

The world pisses me off. High School sucks, and all my friends are busy being kissey kissey with each other. Once Sora got into a relationship, NO ONE had time for me anymore.

So that's why I'm here.

Alone.

At the mall.

Looking for a girlfriend.

All the girls I actually know are out of the question. All two of them. I asked one out when the other liked me and was making me a giant cake for my birthday, and I never saw her or her sister again. Pathetic, right? So now I'm here looking for a girlfriend while all these other guys in stores I walk past complain about having them because they have to carry one pair of shoes that she bought. Eventually I find the store that I'm looking for.

The wonderfully awesome, Hot Topic. Just as I'd hoped, there are a couple of cute girls there. They appeared to be having some sort of disagreement.

"What do you mean, 'We're out of stock'? I pre-ordered the damn thing, little twerp!" A tallish blonde girl slammed her hands on the counter. I walked into the store. I was either going to defend one or go on the same side as one. A short girl with black hair was shaking behind the counter. She looked around hopelessly for someone to help her, muttering something about how she should have applied at the Sanrio store. That's when the tall, angry girl pulled out a knife.

I made a mad dash across the store, jumped over the side-counter, and jumped in front of the poor little Sanrio girl to defend her.

"Put away the knife!" I yelled, arms stretched out to prevent her from killing her intended prey. She smiled devilishly and put her knife in her pocket. She leaned onto the counter with her head resting in her hands, and looked up at me with bright blue eyes.

"So, you think you're a hero, little boy? What's your name?" There was no one in the store at this point, they had all quietly slipped away (I was surprised that none of them called security while they were at it). The Sanrio girl took her chance to get into the back room to find the pre-ordered item.

"What do you wanna know my name for? And I'm NOT a little boy, you hellcat!" She bothered me. In more ways than one. She ticked me off beyond all reason, and of course there was the curse of guys my age. She ticked me off, but that didn't deduct her hotness. I jumped out from behind the counter and began to leave. Hellcat followed. I ignored her best I could (damn hormones).

She was still following me, not even from behind, but right next to me, when I got outside of the mall. I stopped walking, and so did she.

"What do you want from me??" I asked, annoyed.

Before she could reply, I was glomped.

"Hey there, Riku!" My wonderfully missed friend, Sora was the culprit of the glomp. He was hyper as ever.

"Don't get blood on me!" I laughed, shoving him off. Then he finally caught up. The man who causes Sora's frequent nosebleeds, Marluxia. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for my friend. But Marloosha takes too much of his time!

Something was different about Sora's lover today, though. He was glaring at the girl. They seemed to know each other. She also seemed to make Sora a little uneasy, when he managed to notice her. Then Marluxia got a big, concerning smile on his face. I mean like, it was a smile that the Cheshire cat would have if he decided to become a serial killer. Sora got behind him, like he was really scared of the hellcat. She smirked, and then suddenly grabbed my hand and started walking, dragging me along.

"What the-" Is all I managed to get out before Maruxia stopped her.

"Where do you think you're taking him?" Is this Marluxia in rage mode or something? I don't think I've ever seen him so pissed! Hellcat laughed.

"What, is this one yours too, now? Have you been getting into crazy threesomes?" They really did know each other. Pretty well, from the looks of it. He grabbed me and made sure I was behind him. Is he gonna hit that girl???

"Sora... Riku... Get in the car."

"What the hell's going on? She's just a girl!" Seriously!

"Get. In. The. Car..."

"Jeeze Louise!　Fine!" I start to walk away with the terrified Sora.

"Oh~ Play fair, Marly!" Said the hellcat in a cutesy voice. There was a bit of arguing that I didn't catch, though I didn't care. Sora and I made it into the car.

"What's up with those two? Have you ever seen her before?" I asked Sora.

"Don't ask..." He was looking away from me.

"What? Why are you-"

"I said don't ask!" Sora yelled. He was shaking. I heard him sniffle a little, what was he crying about? I decided to shut-up. After he calmed down a bit he spoke again.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have yelled..."

"Hey, it's fine. Obviously she's bad news to you, you don't have to say why."

"Thanks, Riku!" Another glomp attack. He's never really down for long, is he? Just then Marluxia got into the car, shut the door and sighed. He seemed frustrated.

"Riku," he began, "take this paper, and for the love of God please call that crazy woman! She said she'd torment Sora if you don't, so you really have no choice." He started driving.

If Sora wasn't one of my best and only friends, I would of kicked his flowery butt. But I care about my friend, so no tormenting for him on my watch.

I unfolded the paper and read it and found out that the hellcat has a name.

Larxene. Huh. I expected something really snobby sounding for some reason. Wait, why do I know so many people with an 'X' somewhere in their names? Has anybody ever questioned that? Seriously! What the heck?

Oh my spaghetti! Striking Ground chapter ONE! One of my friends gets annoyed at me every time I make a KH pairing XD I wonder why?

Rate and review~ if you so please~ Just don't be meanies, OK?

(Ps. Friend Here: I don't get mad! You just pick such awkward pairings!)
