Story Title: Another Side

Author: Shadow Eve

Genre: General

Setting: After Kingdom Hearts. A young man wonders around, not knowing who he is. But why does he have Sora's memories? Definitely has to do with the Secret Ending and Deep Dive.

Disclaimer: Heh, heh. This is a first. I never wrote a disclaimer. Anyway, I don't own any of the Kingdom Hearts Characters. I own some characters, but they're just minors. Well, atleast most of them are. Moving alone....

Notes: Uh, well. This would be my first KH Fanfiction. I really like writing originals, but I thought I'd give this a shot. Besides all that, I wanted to see if I could out do my cousin on this site. ^_^ Review if you want to....

*Strange Memories*

Rain started falling down even more.

The hooded man walked down the dark streets, rain pouring on his black hood. He held a smug look on his face, since the words of the old woman echoed in his head. And what of that boy? Sora. Something told the man that if he found this Sora, then he would no longer have to worry about his past. He continued walking till he suddenly stopped. He stopped in front of a building. The building was tall and dull looking. The colors of the building looked so lifeless. There was a tv screen, also. Who was that crimson haired girl there. She looked and seemed so familar. The hooded man looked up, his blonde or brown hair glistening. There, at the top of the roof was he. The silver haired man with the same clothes as his and a blindfold. The hooded man soon heard something. He looked to his side to see those creatures, the heartless, forming. Over a hundred surrounded him. He found himself drawing not one, but two keyblades. The keyblades seemed so familar, but he agnored that and the headache that was forming. The blindfolded man raised his arms out and shooting stars could be seen from the rooftop. Then, a heart formed around the hooded man as the blindfolded man pulled off his blindfold off. The hooded man looked up, his bangs blocking his eyes.

"Where's Sora?"

At that instance, a fight began. The heartless jumped after the hooded man as he started running towards them. He quickly slashed two of them and began to do a familar move, killing a roll of heartless. He was making his way to the building. The heartless jumped after him, one by one, not wasting time. Effortlessly, the hooded man sliced them. Suddenly, two of them jumped in to the air. Stupid. The hooded man looked up and found himself flipping, crossing the two keyblades over his chest. In mid air, he performs yet another familar move, striking the heartless still in the air! Lightning makes the scene white. He then performs another acrobatic flip and lands at the base of a nearby building. The heartless follow, going up the building also. The Blindfold (I say this because I just don't know what to call him now.-__-) shows up once again. The hooded man jumps up and defying the lawsof gravity, begins to run up the building, the two keyblades in his hand. Dang! The heartless are right behind him. Blindfold steps toward the edge of the building. He then takes a verydeep dive off he roof of the building. The heartless who are on the roof mindlessly follow after him. The hooded man throws his black keyblade straight up, slashing heartless along the way. Blindfold catches it while falling.Then blindfolded continues falling while the hooded man continues running up. The hooded man takes out a keyblade, that he knows he saw somewhere before. As he continues running up, he looks at blindfold. They exchange looks and go pass one another. As he made it upon the roof, the heartless suddenly dissapear. It looks as though none of them have ever appeared. The hooded man looked over the rooftop to see that the blindfolded man is gone. He deeply sighs and jumps down the building.

The old woman took a sip of her tea as she heard a fumbling sound. She turned around to see the hooded man, coming inside. He looks like he's slightly disturbed. The old woman gives him a look and stares her coffee cup. He sits down in a chair, directly opposite to hers.

"So, what happened? Did you find out anything?"

"He took my keyblade. And he looks familar."

"What?"

"Nothing."

He held his head, again. The old woman sighed. She knew he was going to have another one of those flashbacks or something. There was yet another flash. But, this one was nothing like the others. A flashback of that boy, Sora. He was standing infront of a boy with silver hair. Just like Blindfold? He could bearly hear it, but it was clear.

"Whoever you are, let Riku go! Give him back his heart."

"But first, you must give the princess back her heart."

Suddenly, the hooded man placed a hand to his chest, breathing hardly. The old woman hurried to him and shook him twice. The hooded man looked back up to her, gasping for air. The woman frowned.

"What's going on? What the heck's wrong with you?"

"My....my chest started to hurt. That flashback.....I don't understand it at all."

"Why don't you just try to find that blindfolded man? I'm sure he's got your answers."

"He took....."

"I know! But, you need to do something, kid. I'm getting tired of seeing you suffer from this weird amnesia."

"Fine...but last I saw him, he was near that dim building."

"I've heard rumors of someone being in the third district. That could be him."

"Third district."

"You know the way?"

"Strangely, yes. I do know the way."

The hooded man pushed threw the double doors, leading to the third district. For some reason, he felt he'd been there before. Just as he suspected, there was a house. It looked like it hadn't been used for years. He stared at it, for a second. Something flashed by. A quick flash of a brown haired man, a black haired girl, and a auburn girl with a red bow. He fiercely shook his head, heading towards it. He stood directly infront of it. He pushed the door open and soon saw blindfold standing there. The blindfold was back on his eyes and a smirk was on his face.

"You....."

"Nice to see you too."

"You still got it, don't you?"

"......"

"The keyblade. You still got it?"

"Yes. Why do you ask? You threw at me, didn't you?"

"...."

"I, at first, thought you were my friend. You look just like him."

"Sora....?"

"Yeah, how'd you know about Sora?"

"A conicidence."

"Well, that still wouldn't explain why you were holding two of his keyblades."

"More than that."

"Who are you? Why do you talk as though you are hiding something?"

"I'm hiding nothing. I want to find this Sora and ask him things. Like why do I have his memories? But, I'd like know one thing from you, Riku. That is your name after all, isn't it?"

"I don't like the way you're talking to me."

"Last I remember, you weren't wearing that Blindfold. Trying to hide something that happened to you?"

"Look, this doesn't have anything to do with you."

"Yes it does. I have your friend's memories. Don't you find that strange? All I want to know is why I have them. Thats all."

"So, what are you suggesting?"

"That we team up together. Try to get out of this world."

"Impossible. This world is still protected by the walls no, barriers that keeps others from coming in."

"Riku, when we were fighting the heartless, did you even notice the shooting stars? I some how remember that if a star falls from the sky, then a world has fallen. So, put it together and -----"

"You don't understand. Sora sealed Kingdom Hearts five years ago. There's no way the worlds can be falling again."

"Explain the heartless then, Riku. Tell me how they are here."

"I don't know that. Last time I saw them was in Kingdom Hearts. That place still haunts me. I somehow found a way to this Neo Traverse Town. I was hoping that some of Sora's friends would be here. But as you can see...."

"So, if we can't get out of the worlds, what do you suggest we do?"

"I have a hunch that we need to go to this dark, place. Somehow, we're suppose to go threw one of the buildings and end up in a diffrent section of the town. You know I'm only working with you mainly because of you being able to hold Sora's keyblades."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"Did you even recieve a little black piece of paper with yellow letters on it?"

"No." The hooded man replied. "I don't recieve mail mainly for not having a place to live. I only was invited in to an old woman's house."

"Old Miss Baker. I heard that old woman tries to take on the heartless here and there. Anyway, this note was addressed to me. It said something about bring a hooded man with me. That's you, right?"

"I'm the only one standing here with a hood, so yeah. Who sent it?"

"Thats just it. There's no address on the letter. In the letter, it said to go threw the new bell tower building and jump in the whole under the bell itself."

"Why?"

"I'm not sure. Something about a gathering."

"A gathering?"
