Hi Everyone

Well here's part 2 of my Fanfiction

In this part, it's in Riku's POV, so everything that happened to him in my fanfic will be explored and explained.

A lot of things will be repeated from the first part, but that's only to help things make sense.

Also, Riku will have more flashbacks to when Kasai was on the islands, so you can see how close the three were as friends.

Oh and one more thing, you will notice that my OC is going to have a minor crush on Riku, but it's nothing more than that, I won't pair them up, so don't worry

Well enough rambling, on with the show.

Riku and Kairi just watched as Sora ran to go on his next little journey. Riku noticed that Kairi was obviously worried about Sora.

Riku: "Don't worry. Sora's stubborn, he won't go down easily." Riku said to cheer her up.

Kairi: "Yeah, you're right." This was enough to convince Kairi. "I'm going to go back home, Selphie is waiting for me, bye Riku."

Riku: "Later Kairi. I'll just stay here for a little while." Kairi left, leaving Riku back on the island. 'I still can't believe there was a time when I couldn't wait to get away from this place. There are so many memories here.' Riku seemed to be traveling down memory lane, simply looking around the island, until he finally made it to the secret spot. 'It's been a long time since I was here.' Riku started to enter, wondering how much of it changed since the last time he was there. Then, when he was about half through the path leading to the heart of the cave, he could have sworn he heard something.

"It's true! I saw it with my own eyes!"

"You sure you didn't just hear it this time?"

"What difference does it make? There's a huge monster in there, I tell you!"

"All right. Suppose there really is a monster…Think we can beat it by ourselves, Sora?"

"No problem. Let's do it! Listen! There! Can you hear it growling?"

"Shh, quiet. We've gotta be careful."

Concluding that the voices were just hallucinations, Riku continued to make his way through the cave. When he finally got through he saw all of the drawing that were made over the years. After he spent some time in the cave, Riku decided it was time for him to go back home as well. That was his plan anyway, until he started hearing voices again, and once again, he couldn't see anyone there.

"See that? It was just the wind making that noise."

"Aw, man. I wish it was a monster! Hold on! What's that over there?"

"A window, or maybe a door? It won't open."

"Geez is that really all there is in here?"

"What do you expect in a boring place like this? Hey, Sora."

"Hm?"

"When we grow up, let's get off this island. We'll go on real adventures, not this kid stuff!"

"Sure. But isn't there anything fun to do now?"

When Riku turned around to double check and see if anyone was there, he noticed a little girl, apparently asleep in the fetal position, in front of the large door that rested in the cave. She didn't look any older than five years old, and didn't seem to be feeling well, so Riku went to go see if she was alright.

Riku: "Hey, what's wrong?" As he reached a hand out to see if she was even awake, she harshly slapped it away.

Girl: "Don't touch me." She never looked up at Riku, she kept her head resting on her legs.

Riku: "I can't just let you sleep here, you'll get sick."

Girl: "So be it."

Riku: "Come on, how about I take you to the mainland, I'm sure your parents are worried about you."

Girl: "They're not there."

Riku: "Oh? Then where are they?"

Girl: "Another world."

Riku: "…W-what?"

Girl: "I'm not from here, I just come here to see some friends of mine. Well they were my friends, they're not anymore."

Riku: "Why's that?"

Girl: "Because I did something. Something bad." Before he could ask what it was he heard something outside.

Selphie: "Oi, Riku are you in there?" Reflexes kicked in, and Riku turned around to see who it was. Obviously he couldn't see anyone, so he returned his attention to the girl, but she wasn't there anymore, she simply vanished.

Riku: 'I wonder who that girl was.' Riku started to make his way out of the Secret Spot to see who was calling him. It was, of course, Selphie. Kairi was there too. "Yeah what is it Selphie?"

Selphie: "Kairi said you were over here on the islands, and I thought you would get lonely if you were here by yourself."

Riku: "Not really. I actually enjoy the time alone, gives me a chance to think."

Selphie: "Aw Riku that's so boring. Come on Kairi let's go." Selphie was practically dragging Kairi to another part of the island.

Kairi: "See you later Riku." Riku waved as the two girls fade in the distance. Riku decided to go to the little plateau where he and Sora use to spare against each other, just to stare out at the sunset. As he walked up to the plateau, he noticed some kids, about five or six years old, were standing on the bridge.

Boy 1: "Okay now close your eyes."

Girl: "Aw why?"

Boy 2: "Because then it can be a surprise." Riku could just watch as the helpless girl did as she was told and closed her eyes. Somehow it didn't surprise Riku that the two younger boys were him and Sora as kids, and the girl was the same one he met not too long ago.

Riku: 'Huh, must be an old memory.'

Young Riku: "Okay you can open your eyes now." The little girl opened her eyes to see a tiny fish in younger Riku's hands, which seemed to terrify the girl.

Girl: "AHHHHHH! Get that thing away from me!" (1) The girl tried to run away, but didn't seem to know where she was, and just ran off of the bridge landing on the beach a few feet below.

Young Sora: "Riku that wasn't funny."

Young Riku: "Hey don't blame me! It was your idea!"

Young Sora: "I think you should go see if she's alright, then apologize."

Young Riku: "Tsh, fine." Present day Riku just watch as his younger self raced down to the beach to see if the girl was alright, while younger Sora just stayed where he was.

Riku: 'Man this memory is so clear and vivid. But I don't remember this ever happening.' Younger Riku made it to where the girl was, and she was face down in the sand.

Young Riku: "Hey, are you alright?"

Girl: "That was mean." Her response was muffled, as she finally got up to her feet. "You know I'm afraid of fish."

Young Riku: "Sorry, we thought you were kidding."

Girl: "Well, now you know, I wasn't kidding."

Young Riku: "I'm sorry…" The girl seemed to laugh to herself. "What's so funny?"

Girl: "I just thought of a new nickname for you."

Young Riku: "Oh really, what is it?"

Girl: "Ku-Ku."

Young Riku: "What? Why would you give me that as a nickname?"

Girl: "Because you're crazy to think that I would ever lie to you and Sora." Just like that all of the kids disappeared, leaving Riku slightly confused.

Riku: 'Did all of that really happen at one time? If so, then why can't I remember it?' Kairi seemed to come back out of nowhere, kind of worried. "What's wrong Kairi?"

Kairi: "Riku, I think I'm seeing things. One second, I see a girl sitting under a palm tree and then another, she's gone. Vanished!"

Riku: "Oh, you saw her too?"

Kairi: "So I'm not imagining things?"

Riku: "Either that, or we're both hallucinating the same thing."

Kairi: "What could it mean?"

Riku: "I'm not sure, but I think that we should keep this from Sora when he gets back, at least not until we figure out what's going on."

Kairi: "Yeah, you're right."

Riku: "Speak of the devil, look who's here." Riku pointed down to show Sora racing toward them, and soon enough made it to them. "Wow, I'm impressed. You finished your journey already?" Sora shook his head.

Sora: "Not yet. I have a long way to go."

Kairi: "So how come you're back home? Is there anything wrong?" Sora told Riku and Kairi everything that happened to him so far, leaving Kairi shocked and Riku impressed.

Riku: 'So Sora finally met someone new. It's about time.' "So you met a girl Sora? What do you think of her?" Riku gave Sora a sly smirk.

Sora: "I don't know anymore. That's why I have to go and find her and see what's going on."

Kairi: "Do you know where she is Sora?" Sora nodded.

Riku: "Well don't leave us hanging, tell us where she is. We'll help you find her." Kairi nodded in agreement.

Sora: "Well, if what those girls said was true, she's in…the Realm of Darkness." Kairi seemed to be okay with it, while Riku wasn't so sure.

Riku: 'The Realm of Darkness…can I really go back there?' Kairi noticed that Riku was feeling uneasy with the idea of going to the Realm of Darkness.

Kairi: "It's okay Riku, you don't have to go if you don't want to."

Riku: 'No I have to get over this, that was in the past.' "No I'll be alright, besides, I want to meet this new friend of Sora's." He gave Sora a reassuring smirk.

Sora: "Okay then, if you guys are alright with coming along, let's go." The three friends made their way back to the Gummi Ship, to tell Donald and Goofy what was happening. Telling them that this was something that only they three of them (Sora, Riku and Kairi) could do. Goofy was alright with it right away, but it took Donald some time to let them go. So, Sora, Riku and Kairi left the Gummi Ship to go back to Destiny Islands.

Kairi: "So how are we suppose to get to the Realm of Darkness?"

Kairai: "All you have to do is ask." Sora, Riku and Kairi noticed that three people were standing behind them. Riku didn't recognize any of them.

Sora: "What're you guys doing here?"

Riku: 'Obviously Sora's met them before, but by his reaction, I don't think they're a good bunch.'

Konki: "You really think that we'd just leave you hanging? Come on, we're nothing like Kasai."

Riku: 'Kasai? Why does that name sound so familiar? Is that the girl that Sora was talking about earlier?'

Ikusa: "Personally, I wouldn't have come if these two didn't force me." Ikusa pointed to Kairai and Konki as he spoke, earning him a playful shove from Konki.

Konki: "Meany!"

Sora: "So you can help us get to the Realm of Darkness?"

Kairai: "Yep, it's simple, watch." With that, Kairai summoned a darkness portal. "This should lead you to the Realm of Darkness."

Sora: "Thanks." the trio were about to leave through the portal when,

Konki: "Gees, we come all this way to help you, and you're eager to leave before we're finished? How rude!"

Riku: "Help us how exactly?" 'There's something not right about these guys.'

Ikusa: "This won't be like the last time you went to the Realm of Darkness. You'll be in even more danger."

Riku: 'So these guys know more then they let on, I better remember that.' Before he knew it, Ikusa was handing Riku a Darkness Pendant. He seemed to know what it was for, to ward off any and all darkness that got near it. 'Where did these guys get this kind of things. They're not normal.' Riku never let his guard down as the trio left into the world of darkness. "Where should we start? I mean, where can we start?" The ribbon around Kairi's wrist began to glow brightly, and shot a beam of light that seemed to make a path.

Kairi: "Maybe we should follow the light." So the three did, Kairi never let go of Sora's arm. After what seemed like forever, the three heard something they'll never forget.

Kasai: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The scream was heart stopping, making them race toward it. What they saw was surprising. Riku didn't know what was going on, he just saw two girls in the distance, one of them obviously in pain. She was clutching her head with an iron grip. The other girl there seemed to be comforting her, surrounding her with what little light she could control. This didn't help much.

Aqua: "Kasai, you have to be strong."

Riku: 'So that's Kasai. Why does it feel like I know her?'

Kasai: "I know, but I just…I can't take it! I don't want to remember! Not again! I can't remember!" Because he's too nice for his own good, Sora raced to Kasai and Aqua, with Kairi still holding onto his arm, and with Riku not far behind.

Sora: "Kasai! Are you alright?" Kasai was only able to open one eye, but that was enough for her to see who was talking to her.

Kasai: "S-Sora…?" Her eyes got wider with shock as she saw who Sora was with.

Riku: 'This isn't good, she looks like she's going to-'

Aqua: "Quick! You have to get out of here!" But it was too late. Kasai raced full speed toward Sora, with absolute rage in her eyes. Darkness started to surround her arms and legs as she relentlessly attacked Sora with quick jabs and kicks, attacks that if they connected with anyone, would completely consume them in darkness. Luckily for Sora he was an expert at dodging attacks. Riku and Kairi did everything they could stop her attacks, with no luck.

Riku: 'This isn't working. I need to get rid of the darkness she's controlling.' Then Riku had an idea. Riku ran in front of Sora before Kasai could finish one of her attacks, and was able to absorb all of the darkness she was controlling into his pendant, which caused Kasai to freeze from the aftershock. 'I can't believe that actually worked.' Aqua took the opportunity to run up to Kasai and gently caused her to go unconscious, if that's even possible.

Sora: "What just happened?"

Aqua: "I must apologize for her, she really isn't herself anymore. Not since she came here…"

Riku: "Well, can you tell us what happened?"

Aqua: "Sure, but may I ask you something first?" All three of them nodded. "What are all of your names?"

Sora: "I'm Sora."

Riku: "I'm Riku."

Kairi: "Nice to meet you, I'm Kairi." After all of their names were said, Aqua was on the brink of tears.

Aqua: "I-I can't believe it…you all…have grown up so much."

Riku: 'Grown up? We've met her before?'

Voice: "Yes you have."

Riku: 'Who's there?' Riku seemed to be talking to a ghost, no one other than Sora, Kairi and Aqua were with him in the Realm of Darkness.

Voice: "It doesn't matter. All you need to know is that she is someone you can trust."

Riku: 'Who are you and how can I trust you?'

Voice: "Good point…I guess…it's up to you whether or not you can trust me." With a sudden flash, Riku remembered who the girl was in the Realm of Darkness.

Riku: "It's been a while Aqua."

Aqua: "Yes it has. I would love to reminisce with all of you, but staying in this place isn't safe. Especially with someone with a pure heart."

Sora: "Well then, how do are we going to get out of here?"

Aqua: "I don't know. I've been trying to find my way back home for a long time now. Kasai here, was trying to help me through it most of the time. We were close a few times, but something always got in the way. I told her not to push herself, but she kept at it, no matter how much pain it caused her." Aqua looked down at the still unconscious Kasai with sympathy in her eyes.

Sora: "Well, we made it out of here before, we can do it again. Right Riku!"

Riku: "That's right."

Aqua: "You mean, you were here before?"

Sora: "Yeah, not too long ago in fact. After we defeated Xemnas, we came here. Not too long after, a Door to Light was opened and we were able to go back home."

Aqua: "Who's Xemnas?" Riku looked down to see Kasai's lifeless body move, shooting something at Sora's new keychain, making it start to glow brightly, teleporting them all to Radiant Garden. "Oh, so we're back here." Aqua picked up Kasai and decided to take her somewhere she knew she'd be safe.

Sora: "You know Merlin?"

Aqua: "Yes, a long time ago. I'm sure he can watch over Kasai."

Riku: 'Things don't add up. Did Kasai send us here? If so, why would she do that?' After a brief walk they made it to Merlin's house.

Merlin: "Why of course I'll look after her. After all that you and your friends have done for us and the other worlds, it's the least I could do."

Aqua: "Thank you very much." Aqua placed Kasai gently down on a nearby bed, where she stayed, motionless. "Please, tell us when she wakes up."

Merlin: "Of course, of course. Now run along." The four of them left Merlin's house.

Riku: 'I really don't think we should leave her, but it's the only option right now.' Riku barely listened to the conversation between Sora and Aqua, but he caught the end of it.

Aqua: "…and they must still be suffering."

Riku: "What do you mean?" 'Who is she talking about?'

Aqua: Ventus' heart was shattered, causing him to go into a deep sleep that I'm sure he hasn't woken up from yet. And Terra…he lost his body to our former master, Xehanort."

Riku: 'Xehanort? We just can't escape from that guy!"

Sora: "He's our enemy! He took over Riku's body and forced him to fight against me!"

Riku: "He's caused us nothing but pain from the moment we met him!" 'I can't believe he'd cause other people pain too, not that I'm surprised.' Riku looked up to the nearby castle and saw a little girl standing on one of the balconies. He couldn't get a good look at her because she was far away, but he noticed her and it caught his attention. He soon noticed that Sora was also looking up at the castle.

Sora: "When I first met Kasai, she was here in Radiant Garden. She put up a force field around the castle, making it so no one could get in or out. I just want to know…what she was doing in there."

Riku: 'So Kasai was here huh? Could she be the one that-?' "I'm all for it. So let's go." So all of them headed up to the castle, happy to see that no Heartless were anywhere in sight. After a short walk, they made it to the castle, seeing it hasn't changed at all."

Aqua: "Amazing, so this is what the inside of the castle looks like." The four of them started to look around the castle when they heard something.

Young Kairi: "Wait, don't leave me behind!" All four them turned to see two little girls, both appearing to be about five years old, running through the castle.

Young Kasai: "I can't help it if you're slow. Hurry up!"

Riku: 'That voice, it can't be." The two girl seemed like they were racing each other, but stopped when they saw Sora and the gang in front of them.

Young Kasai: "Who are you people?"

Riku: 'That's definitely her, but what does it mean?' "I'm Riku nice to meet both of you." 'The second looks like Kairi as a kid, so does that make this girl-?'

Aqua: "Well what's your name?"

Young Kasai: "My name's Kasai, happy to meet you."

Riku: 'So it is her. Kasai was the one I saw back on Destiny Islands, or at least this version of her. Does that mean she was there before? I don't know what's going on, but I'll find out.'

(1) I decided to add my own personal phobia in this, why I don't know, but deal with it.
