Parisa: Please don't kill me for this!


Kingdom Hearts II: A Journey's End

Chapter 55: Who are you?

He ran up to her and held her in his arms. Sora started shaking her and gasped when he saw so much blood running down from her forehead to her chin.

"Haruka, wake up!" He said but she didn't respond.

"Haruka!" Sora cried as he shook her again. The ship was broken and looked like it was demolished. They were in a cave with the only source of light being the full moon.

"No!" Donald cried.

"You're Highness…" Goofy sighed and they frowned. Jack watched on and was silenced; how could they do this to her?

"She can't be gone! I can't lose her again, we can't lose her again!" The brown haired boy said as a tear fell down his cheek. Goofy noticed that Haruka's necklace was still shining.

"Mmm…." Haruka's green eyes opened slightly and her vision was blurry. She blinked and when she opened her eyes again, everything got clearer.

"Haruka!" Sora exclaimed with so much relief and happiness. Her eyes sparkled in the moonlight and she sat upright. He hugged her and so did Goofy and Donald.

"Princess!" They shouted and they pulled away from her. Haruka rubbed her forehead, where she got hit which was covered by a bandage and her bandana was on top of it.

"Haru!" Sora grinned with a tear falling down his cheek and he held her hands tightly. She fluttered her eyelashes and looked down. The red haired teen looked up again and stared into his blue eyes.

"Who…are you?" She asked curiously and Sora's eyebrows furrowed together with a smirk; she was joking.

"Heh, funny joke Haru!" He said and she tilted her head to the side.

"Joke?" She asked. "I'm not joking. I'm being serious. Who are you?" His eyes widened and it was like he got stabbed in the chest.

"Haruka, it's me, Sora!" He took her hands and pressed them against his chest. Her eyebrows furrowed together.

"Sora?" She asked and he nodded enthusiastically with a smile.

"Yeah it's me, your best friend." She gasped at this and slapped him. His eyes widened and he felt like he was being strangled.

"I don't even know you! How can you say you're my best friend?!" She growled and he was so shocked. "My best friend is Tommy and no one else."

"Haruka, you…don't remember me?" The brown haired boy asked.

"Remember? I don't know you at all!" She exclaimed and they all gasped. She turned to Donald and Goofy. "I don't know who you two are either." She said.

"But Princess, we're your friends." Goofy said and she sighed stressfully.

"I don't know who you are, so how can I be your friends?" She asked and looked up at Jack with a raised eyebrow. "And I don't know who you are either, pirate!" Haruka mumbled.

They stared at her with shock and sorrow and she took deep breathes. She covered her face and rocked herself gently. The red haired teen ran her fingers through her hair with a huff.

"Look, I'm sorry for being so rude, but this is seriously tensing and confusing me out. I'm already confused as it is." She stood up and looked at Sora. "I'm Haruka, Princess of light and darkness. But people call me Ruka." He frowned a little at this but smiled woefully.

"I'm Sora; it's nice to meet you." He mumbled and she looked at the other two. They bowed down and she did a little curtsey. They introduced themselves to her with deep sadness. Jack Sparrow walked up to her.

"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain of the Black Pearl." He stated and she placed her hand on her hip.

"I'm gonna call you Sparrow, how's that?" He sighed; she always called him Cap'n. And now she's sounding a hell lot like her great grandfather.

"It's…fine." He answered and looked around. "What a mess!" Haruka shouted and it echoed.

Jack stepped forward into the moonlight and turned into a zombie pirate. The green eyed Princess turned to him and her eyes widened as her face turned pale.

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!" She screamed and hid behind Sora.

"What's wrong, Princess?" Donald asked and she pointed a trembling finger at the Captain of the Black Pearl.

"W-w-w-what j-j-j-just happened t-to hi-him?" She stammered with fear and Jack started explained the curse of the Aztec treasure.

"So does that mean I'm affected, since my great grandfather was a pirate?" She asked.

'So she remembers that.' Sora and Jack thought.

"No, since you're just a descendant." The pirate answered.

"Phew!" She sighed with relief whilst rubbing her forehead. She raised her finger with a confused look. "One quick question: why do you still look like that?" Haruka asked.

"Yeah, how come you're all skeleton-y?" Goofy questioned.

"Perhaps I got a touch o' somethin' from that monster what attacked us. Yet, why's the skin restin' right on you three?" Jack wondered out loud.

"Cause we're not greedy!" Donald exclaimed. Sora and Goofy stared at Donald suspiciously and Haruka glanced at them.

"What're you guys looking at?!" He quacked and the red haired Princess laughed at this.

"You guys are really funny." She said and sighed.

"That still doesn't solve the mystery." Sora mumbled.

"Gawrsh, maybe the reason we're all okay is because we're not from this world." Goofy stated.

"There must be different laws." Donald added.

"Yeah…we're always just passing through…" Sora frowned and Haruka pouted with a frown too; he seemed so sad. "Wonder when we'll see home again…"

"Sora…" Donald mumbled and the said boy grinned. But the green eyed girl could see his sadness.

"Just kiddin' you! We better get out of here and get a good boat." Sora said and they started leaving and the red haired teen walked next to the brown haired boy.

"Y'know, you can fool them, but you can't fool me." She said and he turned to him.

"What are you talking about, Haruka?" She crossed her arms and gave him the look.

"You know what I'm talking about." Haruka mumbled and he sighed. "Please, tell me what's wrong?" She held his hand and he looked up at him.

"I'm looking for my friends and someday we'll go home, but I don't know if we ever will." Sora sighed and she smiled at him.

"You just need to believe that you'll do it!" Haruka smiled. "I'm looking too." He furrowed his eyebrows; he had an idea.

"What are you looking for?" He asked and hoped for the question to jog her memory.

"I'm looking for a lot of people. Like my sister, Harumi, the boy she loves, Terra, my close friend, Ventus, my brother Lea, and my grandmothers." She said and he sighed.

"Aren't you looking for someone else?" He asked, hinting at the boy she loved. She furrowed her eyebrows together and thought long and hard. Then she gasped with a smile.

"Tommy, I need to look for Tommy!" Sora blinked at this and she hugged him. "Thanks for making me remember Tommy, Sora! Thank you so much!" Haruka giggled and pulled away from him.

"You're welcome." He mumbled and sighed.

"Hey, Sora you wanna race?" He looked up at her. "We'll see who wins." She said and he nodded with a smile.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Set?" Haruka mumbled.

"GO!" They shouted and started running. They were about to tie but then suddenly something flashed behind Haruka's eyes.

She was running behind a boy and he turned his hand to her. The boy was 15 years old with a muscular build. He smiled at her and she blushed. He had shiny silver hair which glimmered in the sun and his cyan eyes were the most captivating colour she has ever seen in her life.

"Come on Haru, I know you can run faster than that!" He said with that lovely voice of his…

Haruka's eyes widened and she tripped over her feet. "Woah!" She fell onto the ground and Sora turned around. He sprinted up to her and helped her up.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Y-yeah! I just tripped over my feet. Pretty lame, huh?" She asked with a sweat dropped. He smiled and shook his head.

"Don't worry, you're secret's safe with me. Come on, we better get going." Sora said and walked away with the red haired 16 year-old following him.

She stopped and furrowed her eyebrows whilst thinking hard.

'That boy, I've never met him before, but he looked so beautiful and familiar. There's something about him. And the way he said my name…' She touched her heart. '…It makes me feel warm inside.' She looked up at the moon and closed her eyes to see that boy's face again.

"Who are you?"
