Chapter One- Author's Notes:
~~Well, here we go, as promised, I give you chapter one. Please play along with me, since I'm kinda flowing with the plot, putting it down as it comes to me. I have a general idea as to where I'm going with this, and I hope it will be pleasing to read, but still, it's in the works. And now, I give you Chapter One.
(((*fanfare with the disclaimers*)))~~
Something stirred in the back of Riku's mind, causing it to wake, leaving his body in its present state of unconsciousness. While he was half-heartedly trying to make sense of this situation, his entire being was made alert, due to a sharp pain that begun in his abdomen.
"Ow!" He yelled, sitting up straight, looking into the eyes of a girl who looked ready to kick him again. "What the fuck was that for?"
"So you are alive." She replied, ignoring his question. "Pity. I was going to feed you to Spot." Riku rubbed his stomach, and looked over the creature that drug him out of his blissful state of ignorance. She was thin, and looked to be as tall as he, with long hair the color of the sea, and golden eyes, which were currently glaring at him.
"So, what are you doing here?" She asked him.
"What's it to you?" Riku replied.
"Gee...let me think now." The girl answered sarcastically. "I wake up to the sound of something falling out of the sky, and onto my HERB GARDEN!"
Riku looked behind him, and sure enough, he was staring at a leaf of parsley. He got up, dusting himself off, and turned to face the girl again. His previous thought was correct. She was just about as tall as he was, though he was a few inches taller. Her eyes scanned over the garden, and he followed her gaze, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"It's not funny..." She muttered darkly. In the garden, was a perfect silhouette of Riku's sleeping body. In the blink of an eye the girl drew a sword from the air, and went into an attack stance, her back to him.
"What are.."
"Shut up and draw your sword. And if you don't have one, then I suggest running like all hell. They're coming." Was all she said. Riku drew his blade, and stood beside her. A moment later, nearly two dozen Heartless came galloping down the pathway. The girl was a split second away from rushing head-first into the masses, but Riku stopped her.
"Hold on." He told her.
"What the fuck is your problem? These things are deadly, and I have to kill them now! If you're too chicken, then go find another island to haunt, cause I'm NOT going to be responsible for saving your ass!" She yelled at him. He raised a hand, silencing her, then turned to face the Heartless. Riku closed his eyes, and extended his hands, looking for his power over them. He found it, deep within his soul. He still had the power to control the Heartless. He snapped his fingers, and they stopped charging. He waved a hand, and they disappeared. The girl turned to face him, and Riku was caught off guard. He thought she would be pleased, but instead, she seemed really, really pissed.
"Who are you?" She hissed.
"My name is Riku. What's yours?"
"Why do you want to know? Trying to steal my heart too? Hate to break it to ya pal, but my heart is unable to be stolen. So turn around, and go back to whatever dark hole you came from. You're not welcome here Riku, if that's even your real name." The girl replied, tightening her grip on her sword. "Where did you come from?"
"Hallow Bastion. That Maleficent bitch threw me out, and...made me come here, I guess, cause I tried to kill her." At that, the girl's eyes widened.
"You were sent here by Maleficent?" She asked, for once not sounding like she wanted to kill him.
"Umm...yeah?" He replied, rubbing the back of his head.
"So, another one of her lackeys got pushed too far, and snapped. Good to know. You still have any loyalty to her?"
"Oh hells no! I want nothing more than to kill that evil bitch. She fucked with my life too much, and because of her, I lost..."
"Someone you cared about?"
"...yeah..."
"Welcome to the club. The name's Celeste. And you're on the island of Dirun. This is the other side of the darkness, where Maleficent sends those who betray her. Come on, I'll introduce you to the crowd." The girl told him, sheathing her sword. She started walking, but turned around suddenly. "Oh, and word to the wise. I wouldn't go flaunting your power over the Heartless here. Not all the guys are as merciful as I am."
