A/N: Sorry, but Aqua isn't in these stories! So who would replace her?

Kingdom Hearts: Haruka's Journey

Chapter 6

The storm was getting worse each second. The trees danced rapidly to the strong wind, the waves hitting against the coast. "Where's Riku?" Haruka shouted and they saw him. Riku looked different through Haruka's eyes, as if he lusted for power and darkness.

"I'm going to go and check on Kairi." The red haired girl ignored any talk of that girl and ran up to Riku, where the leaning tree was.

"Riku, what's going on?" Haruka asked afraid.

"The door…" He turned around and held his hand up for her. "…is open!" She stared at him there was this aura she felt and it didn't feel right. "Once we step through, we might not be able to come back. We may never see our parents again. There's no turning back. But this may be our only chance." She couldn't believe what was coming out of his mouth. "We can't let fear stop us! I'm not afraid of the darkness!"

Haruka closed her eyes and touched her head. She was having this agonisingly painful headache and she heard, "…Such a…terrible darkness. - fight it!" That voice, it wasn't hers and she couldn't recognise it but there was something about the voice.

"Look what you're doing Riku! You're destroying this world, don't so this, its danger-" Haruka tried reasoning with him but this failed.

"Haruka, I don't care about all that, I must become stronger whether you like it or not!" He yelled louder and turned his back on her. She felt her heart squeeze with pain, this couldn't be happening. The tears fell down her cheeks and she sniffed.

"Riku!" She called and gained a heart breaking response.

"Goodbye Haru…" Those words echoed into her ear and into her heart. She never expected him to say those words which seemed to haunt her. He said this as if it was the end, the end of their normal childhood, as if he was leaving forever. Haruka felt heartbroken, pain and utter betrayal. Her best friend and the boy she loved lover betraying her for power was excruciatingly devastating.

Tears brimmed in her eyes and she kept calling her name and he wouldn't listen. The betrayed girl felt like she was sinking and when she looked at her feet, she was sinking into the darkness. She cried for help but he didn't listen, react or turn back. The last thing she saw was Riku walking into a dark portal...

Traverse Town…

Haruka lied flat on the ground as she twisted a face of pain. She was remembering the events that happened to her a while back, the storm, the disappearance, Destiny Island's being destroyed and finally Riku betraying her. All the memories played like a tape and stopped as she sinking into the darkness.

She woke up and her breathing was heavy. She hugged her sides as her arms were wrapped around her knees. Her green eyes brimmed with tears when she thought about Riku. 'Was he that obsessed about getting out of the islands?' She thought and then noticed her surroundings. Haruka was on a bed and in a room. She got up and walked to a window. "This isn't Destiny Islands…" She trailed off and then heard some silent speaking. She walked up to the door and pressed her ear against it.

"Do you think she's okay?" She heard a girl say.

"I don't know. But what I do know is that she's not from this world…" Her eyebrows furrowed together and then she thought about her brown haired friends. 'Sora! He might be here!' She ran back to the window again and jumped out. She didn't notice that there was another house opposite and her head against it. She fell to the ground.

"Owwwwwwwww!" She hissed with pain and touched her head. Thankfully she wasn't bleeding. She got up and wiped some dust off her clothes. "Okay!" She said with enthusiasm. Haruka started to walk around the district and the streets were empty and looked dangerous for her to be walking all alone.

Then she heard a shout and it sounded like Sora's shout. He sounded like he was in danger and she ran to the source of Sora's voice. There were these little monsters. They were small, ink black in colour with antennae, claws and yellow bright round eyes. There were a few of them and they headed straight for Sora.

Haruka jumped in front of him and suddenly a Keyblade appeared in her hand. It was white and gold and was shaped elegantly and perfectly with feathers and the Keyblade had a key chain attached to it; similar to her necklace. It illuminated, glowed and sparkled. She looked at her Keyblade and assumed that she could use it as a weapon. She swung the keyblade effectively as well as gracefully until all the heartless was gone.

"Woah Haruka, you fight well!" Haruka turned to her friend and smiled as she posed with her Keyblade.

"Ya think?"

"You finished off those things within a minute!" He cheered and she smiled at this, at least he was praising her instead of Kairi.

"They'll come at you out of nowhere." They heard a voice say and Haruka turned around.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"And they'll keep on coming at you," The red haired teen growled at this.

"I asked you a damn question!" She mumbled.

"As long as you continue to wield that Keyblade and wear that necklace. But, why? Why did the Keyblade choose a girl like you?" The brown haired man placed his hand on his forehead. Haruka clenched her fist and tried to control her anger.

"What do you mean 'a girl like you'?" She asked.

"Never mind, now let's see that Keyblade and that necklace of yours." Her eyes widened at this, no she wasn't going to let this happen, over her dead body!

"No. Bloody. Way!" Haruka muttered and Sora jumped in front of her. A keyblade formed in Sora's hand too, but was simple with the colours being yellow, blue and silver and had a keychain which resembled King Mickey.

"You're going to have to go through me first." She smiled sadly at this, he was protecting her.

The brown haired man and Sora started to fight and Haruka just watched on. Her friend was trying his most to defeat his opponent and she felt grateful for this. But then Sora stopped fighting, "Now…you're…gonna…you're gonna…" He closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

"SORA!" Haruka shouted and she looked at the man. She screamed and ran to him with her Keyblade in hand. The hit was easily blocked by the man's sword and Haruka stared sternly at him. The brown haired enemy swung his sword on Haruka's arm and she skidded to the ground.

"Aw, you're slipping Leon." A young girl said and Leon turned to her. Haruka touched her arm and hissed with pain. She then saw blood and her eyes widened.

"I went easy on them." Leon said. "Looks things are worse than we thought; a lot worse." Haruka looked up at Leon and growled; how dare he?!

"I'm not finished with you yet!" She shouted and ran to him with Keyblade in hand. Then she saw a flash and fell unconscious again.
