A/N: You people suck! You ALL suck! J/K I just ate some sugar. who would've
guessed? Lookie who I caught! *pulls a rope and Riku falls in*
Riku: O.o oh yeah. *bows down to the almighty author
Me: *cackles madly* I AM YOUR MASTER!.. No, actually I'm just your unworthy ff.net writer. Anyway. wanna know how I caught him? Go to a donut shop. Cops aren't the only people who go there. In fact, I think that's why most anime characters go there -.- I saw Inu-Yasha there. but he was busy trying to get the jello outta the inside of the donut. Look for yourself! *holds out a picture*

"I've always wanted to leave the island. but when I did, it wasn't how I expected it. It was so cold in the darkness. but you helped me. Samara."
"Hmm. Riku?"
"Hey, snap out of it, kid. Come on, wake up. You shouldn't be that tired."
Samara opened her eyes to look up into a pair of soft blue ones. When she rubbed her eyes and blinked a few times, a crimson blush creeped across her face, seeing how close she was to this guy. He smiled and ran his hand through his thick, golden hair.
"I didn't know if you were okay or not. I've never seen you around here before. My name is Cloud." He held out his hand and she put her more delicate one in his.
"My name is Samara. Where am I?" she sat up and looked around to find herself in a red velvet bed, with soft, fluffy pillows behind her. The headboard of the bed was painted gold, and a few jewels were embedded in it in the most beautiful fashion. The curtains that hung from the windows gave the room that dim look. As her eyes traveled across the room they came to rest on Cloud's dresser where a single, solitary, black feather lay. Her gaze diverted back to him and she gasped, grabbing her arm. A slight pain went across it and she saw that he arms had been bandaged.
"You must really be lost. You're in Hallow Bastion. Oh, by the way, I fixed your arms up for you. The saltwater helped a lot, but I had to wrap them up for you."
"Where is that?"
"Well, I can't exactly explain where it is. You're not from this world, are you?"
Samara shook her head "no" in response to his question.
"I knew this was going to happened. The Heartless had returned, so I knew it wasn't going to be long until the Keyblade choose it's master again. Never thought it would be a girl." He smirked and looked at her again.
Samara went into that old habit of chewing on her clothing when she got nervous. As soon as she did she spit it out and wrinkled her nose. "Eck, salt water."
"There's a shower through that door there. You can take one if you want, but I don't have any clothes you can wear, sorry."
"I'll just walk around naked then." She said sarcastically. The look on his face made her burst out laughing. "I'm only joking!! Just lay some of these." She pulled on his clothes. "Out on the bed. I don't mind wearing guys' clothes." She hopped out of bed and almost fell over, not realizing how dizzy she was. The doorframe caught her and she regained her balance.
"I'm going to speak with my friend, Squ-uhm, Leon. I shall be back for you later. We'll have to wrap those cut's of yours again." Cloud stepped out the door, closing it behind him, and Samara started the shower.
* * *
"So, where is she now!?" Donald was shouting at Goofy again.
"I don't know! She's probably at Hallow Bastion. That's what cloud told me atleast." Goofy rubbed his head and picked up his shield.
"Great. We have to go through this whole Keyblade thing again! I'm getting too old for this stuff." Donald was making his way to the Gummi Ship while Goofy quickly followed behind.
"So are we goin' to Hallow Bastion?"
"Of course we are!"
* * *
"She doesn't have the Keyblade, so she's no use to us. Leon sat in his chair with his arms crossed as usual.
"But we can't just get rid of her." Cloud looked down at Leon, hating the idea of just pushing someone out of their house to fend for themselves when they had no idea where they were.
"Sure we can. We did fine on our own when we ended up in Traverse Town."
"But we had each other. She's all alone and has nowhere to go. Here is the least likely place that she should be. You know how dangerous it's starting to get around here now that the Heartless are back."
"We'll give her a ship of she wants to go. We're not going to help her any further than that."
Samara, unknown to the two men, was at the top of the staircase, having just gotten out of her shower and clothed. She had heard every word of their conversation.
"If they want me gone then I'll just leave. Besides, I have to go and find Kira." Samara stormed back to the room and snatched her knapsack from the bed. After she put it on, she snuck down the stairs and into another room. There was a large fountain in the middle of it, and it rose a few feet up. Seeing the large doors on the other side of the room, she ran over and pushed them open. Just as she was slipping out, a voice from behind stopped her in her tracks.
"And just where do you think you're going?"
Samara spun around and saw Cloud standing at the head of the stairway. All she did was give him a dirty look and squeeze her way out through the door, not bothering to close it behind her.
"Don't go out there! The Heartless will get you!" Cloud shouted after her but got no response. He jumped over the rail and headed towards the door to go after her.
"Now how do I get out of this place?" Samara was walking along outside, looking for a way to get away. A cold chill went down her spine and she slowly turned around. Her eyes went wide and her face went pale. Shivering, she was now frozen where she stood. Infront of her stood a Heartless.
"It's a Heartless." She squeaked weakly. It jumped into the air and lunged at her. Samara fell backwards and she kicked it over her head and sent it flying over the side of the palace. She lay on her back for who knows how long, as a warm feeling rushed over her whole body, and she breathed quickly, looking up at the sky and trying to get her breath back as it once was before. She stood up, her legs a bit shaky. When she looked down at herself she was wearing a white and gold, skin tight outfit with a keyhole in the middle, showing her naval and skin around it. Cloud walked up next to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Are you going to come back now?"
Samara snapped out of her daze and looked up at him. She slapped his hand off of her shoulder and ran towards the edge. The crystal by the edge lit up and a small platform came across to her. She didn't care where it went, as long as she got away from him. As soon as she jumped on and grabbed hold, it quickly went in the opposite direction, away from the palace. Sitting down on the bottom of the cold, metal platform, she could see Cloud getting smaller and smaller as she drifted away, Taking the time to look at where she was going, she could see a huge waterfall that was flowing up. She walked off of the platform and onto rock.
"How am I going to get off of this thing?" she looked up into the sky to see a pair of black eyes looking down from the sky. Instead of being scared, a rage filled her. The Wyvern Heartless that was in the sky, charged at her and she quickly put her arms up to defend herself. The Keyblade appeared in her hand, and her red hair gained dark blue streaks, her eyes burning a gold color. It was like someone was taking over her body, but she was fully aware of everything happening around her. As soon as the Wyvern was in range, Samara thrust the Keyblade into the black heart on the Wyvern, and turned it as if unlocking something. Light shone from the wound and the Wyvern turned pure white with golden eyes. She could do nothing but stare at the beauty before her. It flew next to her and nudged her hand, a low purr coming from it's throat.
'Thank you for unlocking my heart.' Samara jerked her head up.
"Did I hear right? Did you speak to me?" she ran her hand across the top of it's smooth head.
'Yes. I'm an Imperial Wyvern. I turned dark after my heart was taken my the Heartless. I'm in your dept.' it nudged her hand again.
"Excuse me while I wake up." Samara slapped herself hard across the face and winced at the hot, stinging feeling on her cheek. "Okay. So I'm not dreaming. How can this be?" holding up the Keyblade made the sun shine off of it as she examined it.
'Did you not want to help someone?' the Wyvern's voice was in her head again.
"Ya, but this is a lot. If Cloud was with Sora when he came, then how can he still be here?" she fell to the ground and looked at the little puddle next to her. The reflection was not of someone she knew. They were different, yet, it seemed like it fit her.
'Times move differently. Destiny makes the time move at certain speeds. You were destined to know them.'
"Do you have a name?" she threw her head back and looked at the Wyvern upside down. It moved back, startled at her and folded it's great wings behind it.
'No. We do no get names.'
"Then I'll name you! Hmm. let's see." Samara paced around the Wyvern and looked it all over. "Hmm. I'll name you. Zaku!" her eyes lit up at the sound of the name, and it rolled over her tongue and out of her mouth.
'If that is what you wish.'
"Hmm. what do I do now?"
"You're going to come and help me, aren't you, Samara?"
She spun around to come face to face with Riku.
"R.Riku? How?" she put her hand up and gently touched his cheek. It was ice cold!
"I'm in the darkness. You have to open the door to the light. When you do, my heart will be set free."
"How do I open it!? Where is it!?"
Riku leaned in close to her and his cold lips brushed gently against her warm ones. "Just follow your heart." He leaned in and as soon as his lips touched hers, she opened her eyes to find no one there but Zaku and herself. Had Riku really come and seen her?
"Turn it off. If she cant activate it then she wont be able to get back here." Leon flipped a switch in the main control room.
"What's wrong with you, Leon!? This isn't you! Is it because Yuffie's gone!?" Cloud regretted he had said that.
Leon punched him in the stomach as he walked by. "Yuffie died, so don't bring that back up. You lost Aerith, didn't you?" he shot Cloud a cold glare.
"I wasn't in love with her!"
Leon shook his head and walked out.
Riku: O.o oh yeah. *bows down to the almighty author
