Okay it's 11:10pm so who ever the hell reads this better start reviewing cause I have other things I could be doing now. THANK INSOMNIA. Btw as much as I dislike original characters I decided to add one as an interest for Riku since KH does not give us any clue of an interest for him.


Once Upon a Time

"Mickey, I know everyone is connected to Sora, but is their any way to help them without Sora?"

"Maybe but it would be a lot easier with Sora." Responded the King "Why do you ask?"

"Because, Sora's lost so much time because of me. I can't bear see him loose anymore this whole damn situation is my fault."

"Riku, how can you still think that?"

"It's the truth." I said rather coldly. Even after all the redeeming I had done I still couldn't forgive myself. All the bad things weren't what bothered me so much was the fact that my best friend was away from the girl of his dreams for almost two years and it was my fault and now it was going to happen again. Some wingman I turned out to be.

"Mickey; don't follow me"

I left the small mouse standing in the surf as I stalked away. I wasn't really angry with the king but I couldn't stand having him tell me it was alright over and over. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize where I was going and I soon found my self staring at the entrance to the secret spot. I thought I heard some one inside of it which is odd because only Sora, Kairi and I know about it, and what's more is I could swear I recognized the voice. I had a really bad feeling about going inside but I had to know who was in there.

Now, on my list of dumb things I've done this makes the top ten (and that is saying a lot), because as I started forward Way to the Dawn appeared in my hand involuntarily and if you're a Keyblade bearer that normally means that your going to need it. When I finally got inside I saw something that made my heart drop, standing in front of me was a girl no older than me with short brown hair, brown eyes, and I could see through her.

She looked up at me and said "Riku, you're safe. I was so worried"

"Do I know you?" was the only thing I was capable of saying.

"Hmm. You used to."

"Used to?" I echoed

"Yes. Used to, once upon a time and in another life"

"Are you going to elaborate on that" I growled. Maybe I was still pissed at Mickey but I my anger was rising"

"I can't."

Was it just me or was she becoming more solid.

"And why not?" I asked

"Because only you can answer that. Think back, Riku. Remember."

"REMEMBER WHAT!" I shouted. I didn't me to but I was really pissed off by now.

"Maybe this will help." She said as she pulled a blindfold out of pocket and handed it to me.


*NOTE* the next chapter is a flash back it was going to be apart of this chapter but I can't come up with a name for my OC. PLZ review with suggestions
