Thanks for reading. Please review.

Once again, I do not own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters in this story, except Kimiko. I did make her up and I do own her, but that doesn't really matter.

Oh, and this chapter is back to Kimiko.

Chapter 2

Kimiko walked home from yet another day at school. She said goodbye to her friends as they parted and went their separate ways. She smiled as she walked the rest of the way to her home. She always had a fun time with her friends. She somewhat dreaded going home though.

She finally made it home to be greeted by their new butler, Sebastian. He acted friendly to her out of kindness, but she felt that he didn't like her. She ignored it and was kind back. She went straight up to her room on the second story. There, she quickly did her home work and then she would read or draw.

She would do this daily. When her parents came home at around five o'clock each day, they paid little or no attention to their daughter. At seven o'clock they would eat dinner silently and then she would go back to her room until she drifted asleep.

This was how Kimiko spent her days, with little variation. This day was no exception, or so Kimiko had thought. Up until then, Kimiko's day had been completely normal, going to school, coming home, going to her room. But this all changed when Sebastian suddenly came into Kimiko's room unexpectedly one day.

Kimiko stared at Sebastian. She was just about finished with her homework when the butler had busted through the bedroom door. He looked as if he was in a hurry, but the smile on his face showed that he was glad to be rushed.

He quickly straightened himself up and then bowed to Kimiko, who was still staring at him. "Miss Kimiko, there is a guest here to see you," he said without moving.

Kimiko closed her book and got up from her desk. She straightened out her skirt and shirt and slowly started towards the door. Sebastian quickly straightened his back and followed her out of the room, shutting the door behind them.

As she left the room, she glanced over the railing to see who her guest was. She couldn't see from such a high view, so she started towards one of two matching staircases, this one to her left.

As she walked down the stairs, she got a better view of her visitor. She didn't recognize him, but she continued without hesitation.

The man himself looked to be in his mid twenties. He was bald and had very dark skin; it made Kimiko's skin look pale white when compared to it. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and Kimiko couldn't see his eyes. He was very muscular. He was wearing a black suit, and looked like he belonged in the F.B.I.

He turned towards Kimiko and Sebastian as they reached the end of the staircase. He smiled and met them halfway across the floor.

"You must be Kimiko," he said in a deep, rough voice that matched his body. "I would like to talk to you alone if you don't mind." He took off his sun glasses so that he could peer at Sebastian and make it noticed.

Kimiko turned to Sebastian and nodded her head. Sebastian quickly understood and turned and left the room. Kimiko then gestured to a couple of chairs in the back of the room between the two grand staircases and the two started towards them.

After they sat down, the man looked at Kimiko seriously and then replaced his sunglasses on his face. "My name is Agent Cobra," he said as he stuck out his hand for Kimiko to shake. Kimiko saw that on his knuckles 'BUBBLES' was tattooed on them. She shook his hand regardless and then sat back in her chair, her legs crossed.

"And to what pleasure do I owe to seeing you, Mister Cobra?" she asked politely, talking in a sweet and quiet voice. Her voice was like sweet music that could not be described. It was like that of a flute or chimes, and yet it was something else as well. It was the most beautiful thing anyone had ever heard.

Cobra ignored the beautiful sounding voice. "I am here warn you- you may be in great danger. I work with the galactic alliance- a group of aliens just outside our solar system. They told me that a new experiment got loose, and it seems to be looking for you. They do not know what the experiment is capable of, so be careful."

Kimiko pointed to herself. "Why me?" she asked.

"They do not know. The creator of the experiment herself won't talk. We'll inform you if we find out anything more." He then got up out of the chair. "Thank you for your time. I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble or disrupted you in any way," he said as he walked out the door and slamming it after himself.

Sebastian then came into the room. "I'm so sorry to hear that you will be leaving us, but if he says it's for the best…" he trailed off.

Kimiko looked at him. "I have no idea what you are rambling on about, Sebastian. I am not going anywhere; Mister Cobra simply wanted to inform me to be careful." She said as she started up the grand staircase.

"B-but, he told me he was a social worker and that he thought that your parents…" he trailed off again. He sighed. "It is wonderful to know that you will be staying with us, Miss Kimiko," he said trying to hide the disappointment in his voice but failing badly.

Kimiko walked up to her room where she finished her homework and spent the rest of the day in silence. She was concerned about what Mister Bubbles had to say. She wondered if he was telling the truth or if this was just some prank some of the kids at school were pulling and got their dad in on it.

That night at dinner, Kimiko could hardly eat. Her parents, of course, didn't notice. She then went upstairs to go to sleep for this day had somehow worn her out.

Kimiko found that she could not get to sleep that night, despite how tired she was. She tossed and she turned. She decided to read, but that did not help any. She lay in bed staring at her ceiling and at the walls. She ended up staying up all night just lying there. She had dark circles under her eyes when she awoke. She put on her make-up and clothes and pulled her dark, curly chocolate hair into two pigtails. Then she headed off for her school.

At school, she was greeted by her boyfriend, along with just about everyone else in the school. Everyone except one girl. She wore very dark clothing and had pale skin. She was new, and even though she had been given many offers to be shown around the school, she rejected them all.

Kimiko paid no attention to it, though she later wished she had. She continued going on with her school work, slowly pushing the girl and the warning out of her mind. After a week, she had completely forgotten about the two.

After about two weeks after Cobra Bubbles had visited Kimiko, he returned, this time with a more concerned look. Kimiko and Mr. Bubbles sat in the same spot and had some tea.

"Kimiko, we have found out more about the experiment. It is a light gray creature that is about three feet tall. It has deep, blue, beady eyes. It has long arms that can touch the ground and its feet were quite large. Its head was shaped like a circle but it has an extra bit like how Santa's hat bends down or like rabbit's ears or even equivalent to a partial swirl or cinnamon roll. There is a red symbol in the middle of its torso that looks like a drop of liquid with two spikes sticking out the sides at the top, one on each side. We hope that this can help you.

"Its creator just recently went missing. She has lately been changing in appearance, no doubt something she has just recently been experimenting with. Her assistance went missing the same day that the experiment escaped. This may be something, but we don't know what. Please, keep an eye out for anything weird or unusual and tell us immediately if you find anything. You can e-mail us here." At this point, Cobra Bubbles handed Kimiko a piece of paper with writing on it.

"Thank you, Mr. Cobra, for all your concern. I'm sure that whatever's out there, it's probably nothing."

"Even if this is true, the creature was not friendly, nor the creator. They need to be locked up in our jail. Please understand."

"I understand completely. Thank you again, and I hope that you find who you are looking for soon." Kimiko walked Cobra Bubbles to the door. After he had left, she went back up to her room with a feeling that she was being watched. She ignored it, thinking it was probably just Sebastian.

The next day, Kimiko woke up and walked to school. However, when she arrived on campus, no one was to be found except for the pale new girl. Kimiko walked up to her, hoping she knew what was going on.

"Hey, where is everybody?" Kimiko asked the girl.

She looked surprised. "You mean you didn't hear? There was a huge fire in the city last night, everything burned down. There were no survivors. We were just lucky that we were in our houses, and that our houses were far away enough to not be in the fire. Terrible thing this is, really. Oh well, I guess what's done is done. I'm terribly sorry for your loss." She said this in such a way that Kimiko knew she wasn't actually sorry, but Kimiko was so stricken by terror, she didn't notice. She stood there as the other girl walked off.

Riku woke up suddenly in a cold sweat. He had just had the worst nightmare about a girl who every friend had just died.
