Kingdo Hearts

Meeting Kaiba
Note: I'm aware about the 'King Kaiba' part in chapter four. Don't dispair.. Remember,
there are two Kaiba brothers.

Mai and Honda walked along the cobblestone sidewalk of Traverse town.
Both were in different clothes then before. Honda looked up, to see a small
flash of light.

" Look, Mai! A star is going out! " Honda commented.

" You can star gaze later. We gotta find the key. " Mai smacked Honda and
walked along. The Kuriboh followed close beside Honda, who rubbed his face
and grumbled.

" Now, where's that key.. " Mai looked up thoughtfully.

" Maybe we could find Leon. " Honda shrugged. He watched the Kuriboh hover away
from them.

" Uh, Mai, I bet you that.. "

" What do YOU know, you big palooka? I'M the leader. " Mai huffed, and tugged
Honda along. Honda shrugged and let the Kuriboh float away.

The Kuriboh spotted Jounouchi, who was laying in an allyway,
and floated over.Nudging him, the Kuriboh purred.

" W-what.. Nggh.. " Jou mumbled.

Kuriboh nudged him more.

" Whut a dream.. Lookit.. Big dust balls.. " Jou yawned. The Kuriboh smacked Jounouchi
upside the head withit's little paws.

" Ack! This isn't a dream! " Jounouchi stood up. " Where am I? Oh, boy.. Do you
know where we are? " He kneeled down to the Kuriboh. But the Duel monster just
flew away.

" Hey! Don't leave me! " Jou chased, coming out of the ally. He blinked. " This is so frickin
weird... I'm in another world!! " He looked around for a while, before going into a near
by shop.

" Hello there, how can I... Hm, it's only a kid. " Soloman looked over to Jou, raising a brow.

" I'm not a kid! And the name is Jounouchi! " Jou pouted.

" Okay, okay. Simmer down. So, why the long face, Sora? Are you lost? " The
old man looked at Jou.

" Of course not!! .. Well, Yeah. Where am I? " Jou looked back at Soloman, expecting
answers.

" Traverse town. " He replied.

" Traverse town... So, gramps, is this another world or what?" Jou grinned at his
own comment.

" Don't call me gramps! I'm Soloman. Anyway, I'm not sure what you're talking about."

" Eh.. Guess I'd better start lookng for Pegasus and Yugi. " He shrugged lightly.

" Well, good luck with whatever you're doing. If you run into trouble, come to me."

Jounouchi nodded and came out of the accessory shop. He felt the hilt of the keyblade
on his back, Jou looked around. Suddenly the sounds of someone approaching from
behind were heard. Jounouchi whipped around, keyblade unsheathed.

" They'll come at you out of nowhere. " The dark figure spoke up.

" Who are you? " Jounouchi glared lightly.

" And they'll keep coming at you, as long as you continue to wield the keyblade.
But why? Why would it choose a kid like you? " The other wondered out loud.

" Hey! What's that supposed to mean!? " Jou spoke up angerily.

" Nevermind.. Now.. Let me see that keyblade.. " The dark figure began to advance
on the blonde.

" What!? There's no way you're getting this! "

" Alright.. Have it your way. "
