HotXbun: Before we start, here's the answer to the question I asked in the last chapter.

The Crystal Hearts and the Ring of Heart are based on the Crystal and Ring of Lucii from Final Fantasy XV.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts. Disney and Square Enix do.

Chapter 17 You Know Them?

Riku's POV

"Kairi", I started. "I think Sora is here."

When I said this, Kairi looked at me with shocked, hopeful eyes.

"What", she said in shock. "Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure", I replied. "Somebody took Sora through a portal. We jumped through it and ended up here."

"Somebody took Sora", Kairi asked in shock. "Who was it?"

"It was..."

"Yozora!"

When Shiki said this I looked up...and gasped in shock.

Walking up to us...was Yozora!

"Kairi", he started. "Who's this?"

"You know this guy Kairi", Beat asked in shock.

"Yeah", Kairi replied. "He's a friend of mine. Yozora, this is my friend Riku, and..."

"I'm Joshua", said person replied. "And this is Neku, Shiki, Beat and Rhyme."

"Nice to meet you", Yozora stated before walking up to me and holding out his hand. "Any friend of Kairi is a friend of mine."

With that, I studied Yozora's face closely.

It genuinely looked like he didn't know us. The question is...why?

"Nice to meet you too", I said before shaking Yozora's hand. "How do you know Kairi?"

"She was...is the guard to my fiancé."

When Yozora said this, I looked at him in shock.

"Guard", I asked before looking at Kairi. "You're a guard?"

"It's a long story", Kairi revealed.

"How do you know Kairi", Yozora asked me.

"We grew up together", I revealed.

"I see", Yozora said. "Well, if you need a place to stay, you can stay at my palace."

"A palace", Shiki asked in shock.

Then...Kairi said something that took me by surprise.

"Yozora's a prince."

"A prince", everybody said in shock.

"Yeah", Yozora replied. "Come on. My car's not too far from here."

With that we followed Yozora to a car.

Standing by the car was a man wearing a white, long sleeved dress shirt; black dress pants; black loafers; a black tie; a black, long sleeved blazer that was buttoned up halfway; white, wrist length gloves and a black, drivers hat.

"Welcome back your majesty", he greeted Yozora. "Who's this?"

"This is some friends of Kairi", Yozora revealed. "Guys, this is my driver, Ludor."

"An honor to meet you", the man (who I now knew was named Ludor) greeted.

"Have we met before", I asked.

"Perhaps", Ludor replied. "It's a small world after all."

HotXbun: Interesting.

Challenge: Tell me who you think Ludor is.

My Answer: Anybody who's watched the ending of the secret episode should have a good idea about who he is.
