"Hey! Just to warn you, I haven't written anything here in a long time, so I'm a little rusty. I think that Kingdom Hearts is one of the best games of all time, and the story line is amazing, so hopefully this story doesn't bring the Kingdom Hearts name shame. Oh yea this takes place after the second one, enjoy."

It was the start of a new day, The waves swept over the sparkling beach as the birds chirped welcoming the sun. Every one on the island was sleeping peacefully except for one. Riku was up before the sun every morning, He would get up out of bed about an hour before sun rise, walk down to the beach, and sit on the bent tree that so warmly welcomed him. Every morning he would sit and think, he would ponder life's questions and hope that he would think of an answer, he seldom ever did. This morning was different, this morning Riku knew that there was something wrong, He didn't know what but he knew that there was something. He new this because today he was cold, he was never cold when he was on the island, the only time he was this cold was the night there island was swallowed by the darkness. Riku had known that this day would come but he had hoped that that day would be a long time from now, not now, not today. He sat there thinking about what was to come when he felt some one sit next to him. King Mickey sat next to him as he looked up to him with concern.

"You feel it two don't you." Mickey said causing Riku to sigh.

"It was only a matter of time, we were only fooling our self's if we thought that it couldn't happen again." Riku said as he placed his head in his hands.

"We're going to have to tell the others." Mickey said knowing the reaction he would receive.

"I can't let them get hurt." Riku said as he moved him self from the tree and began pacing.

"The only way you can hurt them is if you leave them again, you've tried going on your own before and it didn't work as well as you hoped, you need them." Mickey said with the most serious tone that Riku had ever heard come from him.

"I'll tell them when they wake up." Riku said as he began to walk back to the tree house. We'll need to come up with a plan." Riku said, but when he turned around to look at the king, he was no longer there. Riku continued walking, but not to the tree house, but to the secret place.

When he arrived at the cave the feeling of cold increased and he noticed that he was shivering. The farther he walked into the cave the colder he became and the more he shivered. By the time her got to the end of the cave he was having trouble breathing. "NO!" he gasped as he saw the strangely located door slightly opened. By this time he had fallen to the floor from the intense cold, his muscles were unable to move.

"Fate has chosen you Riku." A voice that Riku could not recognize spoke out to him. "You can not escape the path that fait has lade out for you." This voice though unknown to caused Riku pain, some where in his heart this voice was strangling it, choking it, and making him suffer.

"Who are you?" Riku managed to force out, but his breaths were getting weaker, as if the air had been removed from the room.

"I am the one that will lead you to your destiny, The one that will make you who you are, I am fate, and I am here to get you back on the path that you have strayed from." Riku's pain increased with every word from the voice until the pain was unbearable.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT!" Riku shouted

"To lead you to the darkness!" The door flew open, and it sucked Riku in, closing behind him as if nothing had happened.

"I know, its short but I promise there's more to come."
