Ugh, I am SO pissed! I wrote up half this chapter and my laptop died! It was really good too! Well I hope you enjoy this one. I'm going to introduce another OC who's older; that's different too.


Kingdom Hearts: Hearts Journey

Chapter 2

Sora, Kairi and Alexis decided to go home. May looked up at the stars and smiled.

"May, you not coming?" Riku asked but she shook her head.

"I'm gonna stay here and stare at the stars. You go ahead, if you want." She said and he sat down on the sand.

"Star gazing is much better when you're with someone." He stated and she giggled. The brown haired girl sat down next to him. She laid down on her back and rested her hands behind her head. Riku did the same and they stared up at the sky.

For some reason, this felt fairly familiar to May. She's felt like she's star gazed with someone else somewhere in the past. But she didn't know why because she always star gazed alone. She wondered who she used to star gaze with.

"The stars look beautiful tonight." Riku broke the silence and she snapped out of daze.

"Yeah you're right. Look at the way they twinkle and sparkle in the sky. Look at the way they shine and bring out the dark night sky. Look how beautiful they sparkle and brighten up the sky. For some reason, I feel like I'm home and where I belong." She explained as she stared up at the starry heaven above them.

Riku turned his head to her and she turned hers to him. He placed his hand on her cheek and sat up on his knees and so did she.

"This is your home and you belong here." She placed her hand onto his hand and looked up into his cyan eyes; they were so beautiful and she admired them. He stared down at her unique purple eyes which sparkled like the stars above them.

"I know I belong here." She murmured.

"You know you can talk to me about anything. I'm always here to listen." This feeling touched May's heart when Riku said this. It was indescribable and utterly beautiful. She smiled at him with her dimples appearing. This made him smile too; he loved her cute dimples.

"I know that, silly." She pinched his cheeks and he laughed. He leaned closer to her and rubbed his nose against hers. She giggled at this and rubbed hers against his nose. Slowly that feeling was growing, little by little.

'Am I falling in love with him?' She asked. 'Oh my gosh, no way. He wouldn't be in love with a girl like me. Pull yourself together.'

"We better get home." He whispered and she nodded. He stood up and took her hand. He pulled her up and didn't let go of that hand.

May felt an excruciating pain in her right leg from her knee below. She shrieked and he turned to her with wide eyes. She sat on her bottom and held her right leg.

"May, are you okay?" He asked worried.

"M-my leg…I g-got a leg c-cramp." She stammered.

He kneeled in front of her and started massaging her leg. She shut her eyes from the pain which soon faded away. She opened her eyes and smiled at him.

"Thank you." She said but he shook his head.

"Come on, I'm giving you a piggy back home." Riku stated and she grinned.

"Really?" The silver haired teen nodded and lifted her up onto his back. She wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his torso.


He walked her home and whilst walking her home they talked about things. She talked and talked and he turned his head to the side to stare at her dreamily. She talked and talked and he listened. They laughed together and made little jokes. The 2 friends even talked about their childhood.

May felt so happy talking to Riku. He was like no other. When they were kids, when she hurt herself and cry, he would make her smile by kissing her cheek, wiping her tears and letting her win in races. Whenever no one played with her he would. When she cried because the other kids teased or bullied her, he would stand up for her. Riku was indeed always there for her throughout their whole friendship.

The feeling inside May's heart grew and was starting to take over. It wasn't bad; it was perfect.

They got to May's house and he put her down.

Her house door was open and a woman stood next to it. She smirked as she watched them.

This was May's guardian, Kiyomi. She was 25 years old, had black straight long hair up to her waist, Kiyomi had jade green eyes, and pale skin and was tall at 6ft and slim. She's been alone since she was 10, because something bad had happened to her parents. Since then, she's been working and working. Then Kiyomi decided to take May in and raised her like a daughter but they were more like sisters.

May stood in front of the silver haired teen with a smile. She stared up at him and he looked down at her with that dreaming look.

"See you tomorrow?" She asked and he nodded.

"Of course." He replied.

"Promise?" She held up her pinkie with a smirk and he laughed.

"Promise!" He exclaimed and joined his pinkie with hers. She giggled and he sighed.

Riku mustered all the courage he had in him and gulped. He had to do it; if not now, when?

The cyan eyed boy leaned closer to her and placed his lips on hers. Her eyes widened and she gasped. It was like a slap on the face. Her eyelids became heavier and she closed them. Riku's lips were so soft and lovely that May couldn't resist but kiss back. He held her hand tight. This kiss was passionate and amazing like fireworks. He bit her lips which made her weak in the knees. He then licked them and she blushed like crazy. The brown haired teen went red and warm. She couldn't do anything but kiss him. Their hearts were racing like their owners would race each other in reality.

May pulled away from her and covered half her cheeks and mouth to hide her face from his. She sprinted into her house whilst apologising. Kiyomi ran behind her and closed the door behind her.

Riku was breathing heavily trying to catch his breath. His heart beat really fast and he was over the moon. He placed his hand on her heart.

"I love her…" He whispered and walked home.


May rushed into the kitchen and started washing her face with cold water. When she was finished, she wiped her face with a towel and leaned against the worktop. She too was breathing really heavily.

"May, I saw it. But, what happened?" Kiyomi asked.

"Kiyomi, I don't know what's going on." She stated.

"What do you mean? You had your first kiss or so I presume." She said in a teasing manner.

"It was my first kiss" May sat at the table. "The thing is I don't know this feeling that I'm having inside. It started today and this feeling hasn't worn off. What is it?" She asked.

Kiyomi sat next to her with a sweet yet sad smile.

"I think you're falling in love with Riku, May." She said and May looked up at her puzzled.

"What?" The brown haired teen asked.

"I want to tell you about when I had my first kiss. I was exactly your age when I had my first kiss." She said and May stared at her; Kiyomi looked sad for some reason.

"Who was it?" May asked.

"It was a boy who I had a crush on for such a long time. Then for reasons, I had to move away and didn't see him again. But then we met after 5 years. I was 15 and he was 19. Then I realised he was in love with me and we kissed. Unfortunately, after that I never saw him." A tear fell down Kiyomi's cheek. "It's been 10 years."

"Do you still love him?" The brown haired girl asked.

"Yes, I love him with all my heart and I know that someday we'll meet again." The dark haired adult smiled.

"That's so sweet." May said. "I think I'm gonna take some time to think about this."

They had dinner together and cleared up. After this, May was in bed in her pyjamas and Kiyomi sat on the bed.

"Kiyomi," The young teenage murmured.

"Yes, May?" The brown haired girl hesitated for a few seconds and looked up at her guardian.

"I've always been curious, what happened to your parents." The brightness in her eyes dimmed down as her green orbs saddened. "The neighbours tell me that….they died…Is that true?" She smiled sadly and shook her head.

"Don't believe them, what do they know?" Kiyomi laughed and placed her hand on May's face. "Look kid, I came on these islands when I was 10."

"You came from another world?!" She exclaimed shocked.

"Shhhhh!" The green eyed 25 year old snickered. "You're too loud."

"You came from another world?" May whispered.

"Yeah, I came from another world. I had friends and a family. But then something happened when I was 10 and my parents sent me to Destiny Islands to live with my Grandma. We never told anyone about it but I'm telling you now because you come from another world." Kiyomi explained.

"Why can't you tell anyone that you're from another world? Riku, Sora and Alexis know that Kairi and I are from another world." She stated.

"If everyone knows that there are worlds outside this one, they would want to escape and it is dangerous." The adult warned and May gulped; she couldn't tell her guardian that she was going to adventure to the outside worlds, she wouldn't allow her.

"Oh, okay…" The purple eyed teen mumbled.

"Now, off to sleep. Goodnight and sweet dreams." Kiyomi said as she stood up.

"Goodnight." She kissed the younger girl's forehead, blew out the candle and closed the door behind her.


May got out of bed and walked to a ladder against the wall. She walked up the ladder and opened a latch to the ceiling floor. She climbed up and got onto the roof of her little home.

The brown haired 15 year old lied down on the roof and looked up at the stars. She could hear the peaceful crickets and stared at the million stars above her.

For some reason she wanted to be with someone and that someone was Riku. There he crossed her mind and it made her feel good. Her heart beat faster and she breathed heavily. May placed her fingers on her lips and thought about the kiss.

She stood up and huffed. The purple eyed teen placed her hands on her heart and she felt the light wind blow her hair.

"Am I in love with him?" She asked herself. "This feeling inside me…."

She stared into the distance and sighed.

"My heart says we've got something real,
Can I trust the way I feel,
Cuz my heart's been through it before,
Am I'm just seeing what I want to see,
Or is it true,
Could you really be..."

May started to sing in her sweet, divine, harmonious and silky voice. She would show her emotions by singing. She sang loudly and people loved the sound of her voice and her words.

Alexis lived near the back of the islands quite far from the others. He heard the singing and ran up to his roof. He saw the girl's silhouette and sighed dreamily. This mysterious girl sounded beautiful and he's listened to her every night. He admired her and was in love with her regardless of not knowing her.

"Someone to have and hold,
With all my heart and soul,
I need to know,
Before I fall in love,
Someone who'll stay around,
(Who warns) my ups and downs,
So tell me now,
Before I fall in love…"

May thought about all the moments she shared with Riku; the ups and downs. This made the feeling inside her heart stronger. Alexis felt his heart beat faster and he gulped.

"It's been so hard for me,
To give my heart away,
But I would give my everything,
Just to hear you say...

"Someone to have and hold,
With all my heart and soul,
I need to know,
Before I fall in love,
Someone who'll stay around,
(Who warns) my ups and downs,
So tell me now,
Before I fall in love…"

May looked up at the stars again and lied down on the roof. Her eyes started to close and before she knew it; she was asleep.

That was the last peaceful night after the lives of May, Riku, Alexis, Sora, Kairi and Kiyomi were going to change forever...


Phew! Well that was chapter 2. The song May sang btw was Before I Fall in Love by Coco Lee; I don't own. Thanks for reading and review!
