HotXbun: Here's my new KH story! I got the idea for it after watching the final cutscene of the Limit Cut episode, so you probably shouldn't read this if you haven't watched that yet, or the Limit Cut episode in general.

PS: The name of the story and the opening lines come from the song 'Dreams Part 2' by Lost Sky and Sara Skinner. I highly suggest listening to it before reading the story because the lyrics fit the theme of the story perfectly. I am even naming it the official theme song of the story!

Enough with that. On with the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Dreams.

Chapter 1 Gone

I can almost feel you walking in the distance

but I know that it's not reality.

If you are echoing around

inside these parallel dimensions all along

then I'll find you in my dreams.

I'll find you in my dreams.

Riku's POV

One Year Ago

I can't explain what had happened. One minute he was there, the next...gone.

I looked at the spot Sora had just been in in horror.

Kairi did the same.

"S...Sora", she called out. "Sora?"

Kairi then jumped off the Paopu Fruit tree and began looking around.

"Sora", she called out. "Sora! This isn't funny Sora! Where are you?!"

With that...Axel sighed sadly before putting his hand on Kairi's shoulder.

"He's gone kid", he stated.

"No", Kairi yelled she got out of Axel's grip. "He can't be!"

"But he is", Axel pointed out.

"No", Kairi stated as she turned away from Axel. "Sora wouldn't leave me like that! He's got to be around here somewhere!"

With that...Kairi ran off.

I tried to follow her, but was stopped by Terra.

"Let her go Riku", he commanded.

"But...", I started.

"She's going to be in denial for a bit", Terra pointed out. "Let her go through it."

With that I looked down sadly.

"What do we do", I asked.

"I'm not sure", Mickey replied. "But we'll figure out something. I promise."

One Hour Later

I crawled into the secret cave.

I walked deeper into it...and saw Kairi crying on the floor.

I sat down and put my arms around her.

"Why", she asked. "Why does he keep doing this to me?"

"Doing what", I asked in confusion.

"Going off and leaving me behind."

When I heard this, I sighed sadly.

"You know he doesn't mean to right", I asked. "All he wants is to be with you."

"Yeah right", Kairi stated angrily. "If that was the case, then he wouldn't keep on leaving me!"

"He doesn't intentionally leave you", I pointed out.

"I know", Kairi said sadly. "I just wish that it would stop happening."

"Me too", I said.

"What do we do now Riku", Kairi asked.

"I don't know", I replied. "But we WILL find Sora, Kairi."

"How", Kairi asked.

"I don't know", I replied. "But I do know this. Our hearts are connected to Sora's. Your's especially."

"Me", Kairi asked in shock. "Why me?"

"Seriously Kairi", I asked. "After everything, you must realize that Sora sees you as more than just a friend."

When I said this...Kairi looked down while blushing.

"That's not true", she stated.

"It is", I stated.

"Whatever", Kairi said. "It doesn't matter anyway. Sora's gone now."

"But not for long", I stated. "We're going to find him Kairi. I promise."

HotXbun: And that's the first chapter!
