Chapter two: Friends

"There has been coruptance in the stream. I believe it may be the organization starting to make its move. Be alert today; eliminate anyone who does not belong." Said the man with the wrapped face

"Right" said the man in the black robe, he formed another portal and stepped through it.

"Heh, not even the organization can save him now." Said the man with the wrapped face with a smirk

It was a dark and stormy night. The ocean waves were thrashing wildly.

"We have to save the raft!" said a girl with cherry colored hair who ran past.

Who is that? Roxas thought but he followed her anyway almost as if he wasn't in control of his own body.

"Come on help me get it tied to that big tree over there." Said the girl pointing to a tree with some weird type of fruit growing on it

Where am I? Roxas thought

He ran over to the raft in the ocean and grabbed the rope that tied it to the pier.

"Come on! We don't have much time!" yelled the girl

Rojas brought the rope to the tree and started to tie it down as tight as he could.

The girl was breathing hard.

"Huff…that should…keep it…safe during the storm." She said

"Will it be okay to set out in the morning?" asked Roxas

What the…I didn't say that! He hadn't noticed that his voice was off from the way it normally sounded.

"I hope so, after all this time waiting…It just has to work!" said the girl

"Hey…where's Riku?" asked Roxas

Who's Riku?

"I'm not sure, I'll go check his cabin" said the girl running toward one of the houses in the trees.

"I'll go check the cave!" said Roxas and he felt his legs pulling him to go near a small indentation in the rocks.

"Riku! Riku are you in here!" Yelled Roxas

"Here I am…" said a tall boy with spiky silver hair coming into view

"Riku! We were worried that you might have got taken by the storm" said Roxas relieved

"Come over here with me." Said Riku motioning for him to follow

"Umm…don't go over there" said Roxas

"I hope he doesn't see the drawings I made." Thought Roxas

What the? What was that?

"Come on, it'll be fine" said Riku

"Umm…alright" said Roxas following him

They got to the edge of the cave and Riku stopped.

"Um, I can explain those drawing." Said Roxas embarrassed

But Riku didn't seem to notice he was looking at the cave floor.

"Hey Riku what's wrong?" asked Roxas

"You'll see" said Riku

Suddenly a black sheet of darkness overtook them.

"Open your heart to the darkness Sora" said Riku reaching out his hand

"Riku!" said Sora reaching for his hand but missing it

"Farwell, Sora" said Riku and he disappeared

Roxas woke up with a start.

"What the-!" Said Roxas shaking his head

He looked down at his sheets.

"Who in the world were those people?" asked Roxas

"….Sora….why does that name seem so familiar?" Thought Roxas

"Hey…How'd I get back here? The last thing I remember was passing out in the middle of the plaza"

What he doesn't remember though was that someone in a black robe picked him up and brought him home.

"Riku…" Said Roxas

"What did he mean by 'Opening your heart to the darkness'?" asked Roxas to himself

He checked the clock by his bed.

"Ack! 12:45 already! I'm late!" Said Roxas getting out of bed and hastily pulling on his clothes

He ran out of his house and started running to the usual spot

"I hope they waited for me!" said Roxas

He was in such a rush that he didn't notice the person watching him.

"Yep that's Roxas all right" said the man watching him in the black robe

"Don't worry buddy, I'll get you out of here." Said the man as he disappeared into a swirling black portal
