Chapter 2- Riku's Birthday

"Happy birthday to me..." A sixteen year old Riku sang to himself, his silver-blue hair was longer and tied back into a ponytail, his icy eyes looking at the white cake in front of him with a candle in the middle glowing red. He hadn't seen Kairi or Sora in a year, a year since he had closed the door with the King.

He sighed and looked at his pale hands, remembering the dreams he had been having lately, he couldn't see anything yet he could hear things, until half way through the dream and it looked as if he had pulled a blindfold off his face, seeing a glowing eyed figure in front of him for a moment than he was rushing up the side of the building, it was so strange. Closing his ice blue eyes, he blew out the candle, alone in a place he did not know and it seemed no one else knew for no one was there. Slowly the last remaining light from the candle disapeered, leaving Riku alone once again to the darkness.

Far away in Halloween Town, Nazo was celebrating her defeat over the insolent brats Lock, Shock, and Barrel, sitting atop the guillotine in the square, her hands behind her head, golden eyes watching the strangely dark sky, "I wonder what's up with the weather..." She mumbled, leaning forward onto her knees, her wings fluttering in the breeze.

Suddenly heartless dropped from the sky, invisibles, all sorts, all going for her, their center target. Jumping off the guillotine, she landed in a pile of wings and heartless who were grabbing at her, one strange one, much larger than the originals held a sword, directed towards her heart, "HOLY FU-" She was cut off by a sudden clanging of another sword with the sword, a boy with unruly brown hair stood there, holding a key like sword within his hands, staring at Nazo with large eyes, wondering who she was, "Come' on get up." He ordered, "I have a gummi ship, it'll get us out of here."

Nodding Nazo bolted up, nearly running into the boy as she did, "I'm Sora." The boy introduced himself, mid-run, his large yellow shoes clacking against the pavement.

"Nazo." She said, the bells of her outfit ringing as she ran for her life, heartless springing up everywhere, "How'd-"

"Be quiet." Sora ordered, unlike him, "We'll discuss that once on High Wind." He said, motioning for her to get into the gummi Ship. Nazo obliged and jumped into the ship, the sounds of her bells reseeding as she entered the ship, leaving Sora out in the street, to blink at her, "Why is she so important Leon?" He asked himself and shook his head, following her in slowly.

Leon stood in the house of third district, Aerith leaning against him, a strange affection between the two had blossomed, she reminded him so much of Rinoa, "Do you think he found her?" He questioned, looking at the dark sky, meteors were fallings, the gates between the worlds were broken once again.

"Yes, Sora I'm guessing found her, yet Leon what's so important about this girl?" She questioned, brushing an auburn lock from her eyes.

"I do not know, yet they say she is a demonic angel, with a gift that shall heal or destory the worlds, we need her before he gets to her." The tall man explained, running a hand through his dark hair, wondering if any of the prophecy was true.

Aerith nodded, "I hope we can..." She said looking at a falling star, the worlds had already again began to fall apart.
