~*~
disclaimer: I don't own KH
Note: Please understand that it is hard to find time for this story when you have practice everyday from 3-5:30 (6-8 on Thursdays) that you come home SWAMPED, a game every Friday that usually lasts till midnight, SOMETHING band related whether it's competitions or band-a-thons every other Saturday, and I'm out trying to have a life outside of band on Sunday. Just explaining that again in case any of ya'll can't understand....Welcome to football season in Alabama.

~*Flashback*~
"Haha Sora, you got beat by Riku AGAIN! Man, I can't even keep track anymore! Gee, Kairi I don't ever see why you'd fall for a loser like Sora who can't even win a lousy race."
"Shut up Mya," Sora growled.
"Oh, what's wrong Sora? Afraid of your own patheticness?" Riku would've stopped his sister from insulting Sora but he had to admit he was kind of happy that Mya was making Sora look bad in front of Kairi.
"Man Sora, have you been able to beat Riku at anything?" Mya continued on without any sign of stopping, causing Sora to be a hair's breath within of an aneurysm.
"You should just stop trying right now because it's SO clear that you'll never beat Riku at anything. You're just not the same quality he is!"
"Mya if you don't shut up I swear I will break your face!"
"HEY!" Riku shouted aggressively at Sora.
"Whatever Sora," Mya sniffed back, "You're so weak you couldn't even break a twig, much less my face!"
"Don't make me give you a demonstration Mya," Sora growled.
" 'Don't make me give you a demonstration Mya'," she mocked in a fake voice, "You're so lame! You need to stick another umbrella in your drink and hopscotch back home to your momma's sewing circle!"
"Mya, what are you like six? You can't say crap like that to me!"
"Well I may be six but I'm a lot smarter than you!"
"You know what..." Sora said as he ripped his friendship bracelet that Mya made for him back in the days when Kairi wasn't there off, "I hate you..you can have this stupid thing back!"
"Thanks for my waste of string back!"
~*End Flashback-Sora's POV*~
After following the tracks left behind, and asking inside witnesses, we found that Riku and Mya were now in Neverland. I have no idea what they're doing there but I guess we're going to try and bring them home anyway. Just because I said I'd help find Riku and Mya for Kairi doesn't mean I want to be doing this. I mean, why should I waste my time trying to find people that hate me? Even if we do bring them home they'll just return to their life of forcing everyone else out but each other. I admire the close relationship that they have, but it still hurts. Both of them used to be my best friends..and then Kairi came along. I need to stop thinking about that. I don't want to pin all of this on Kairi. Part of it is my fault for getting caught up in the rivalry for Kairi's affection. If I had ignored it maybe I wouldn't be here looking for them. I wonder sometimes what it would've been like if Kairi never came, but then I realize my life wouldn't be so complete if I never met her. I know Mya and Riku wouldn't hate me like they do now. I guess there's always a price to pay in life for someone you love.
I walked quietly down Captain Hook's ship, trying desperately not to get caught. I could hear voices coming from the doors that I walked by. The weird thing was is the voices that I heard seemed to be from all different enemies I faced in Kingdom Hearts. Why would they all be in the same place now? I knew something was defiantly happening. I could feel all darkness in the world creep back. The question was why now? What was making all this happen? I walked into another section of the ship where I couldn't hear anybody talking. I opened a door and stepped inside a storage room. The room didn't leave to anyplace else, so I was about to leave. I put my hand on the doorknob but as I did I thought I heard something. I let go of the doorknob and examined the room one more time. There weren't even any windows so I couldn't have heard anyone from the outside. I guess I'm just hearing things. I turned around to leave again but as I did I saw something out of the corner of my eye. There was an air vent in the very corner of the room. Maybe that's where I'm hearing things from. I walked over it and bent down on the floor so I could see what was in there. There was another room. It was very plain. All it had in it was a chair. It looked like a prison cell. But then I saw someone sitting in the very middle of the room. I could tell it was a girl but I couldn't make out whom it was. Her back was faced towards me. I didn't say anything. What if it was someone evil? I simply stared at her for a few minutes. I was about to leave when the girl started to speak softly.
"I can't see you..but I know you're there. You're not talking, but I can hear your thoughts whisper slowly towards me. And even though you're not touching me, I can feel your soul softly caress against mine." I was mesmerized by her words, but I knew that voice..She turned around and stared directly at me.
"Hey Sora.." she said softly. Oh my God! I wanted to run..I wanted to look away..I wanted to hide from her. I don't know how to describe how someone can look at you with eyes so cold, so piercing, so sad, so desperate, so beautiful that when they stare at you you're scared for your life. Looking at her wanted to make me cry my eyes out. My skin crawled and my hair stood on end. And all she did was look at me and say 'Hey Sora'. I was going crazy. How can someone make me feel so awful just by looking at me? It was my very Lord was pointing a finger in shame at me at everyone stopped and stared in wonder. I felt an enraging sting of guilt. All she said was 'Hey Sora'!
"..Mya?" I said softly as I wiped my eyes in all of my chaotic insanity. She nodded her head. This didn't look a thing like that girl who was once my best friend..Her hair was no longer that soft, blonde color...now it was ink black. Her eyes were no longer a mysterious sapphire...now her eyes were black along with her hair. Her skin was so pale that it made it seem like she was wearing heavy make-up on her eyes. Her lips were now a blood- colored red that burned into her pale skin. She had on a Gothic dress and she had a black blanket draped around her. What happened to her? She no longer looked how she did..radiant in all of her carefree and innocent splendor.
"You look..different..." I shouldn't have said that.
"Well now I've entered a state where I become darker the colder I grow." I didn't know what to say first. I was bursting with questions, but as I saw this heart-wrenching beauty in front of me...I was suddenly scared to ask them.
"Who did this to you?" I finally managed to choke out.
"Riku.." she immediately responded, "...he did it all. I look in the mirror now and know whatever I am, Riku made me..He took me away from my life and forced me into the role of the 'Princess of Heartless' that I now play...he stripped me of all my freedom and pride and left me with nothing.." This was all too much. I couldn't handle it. I was trying with all my might not to cry. Once again, what she said made me want to ask questions until I stopped breathing, but I couldn't. I now I had the need to just watch her...to listen to her..to feel her...
"Sora..have you ever woke up one morning and wished with all your being that you would die? Have you ever wanted death so badly that you would do anything for it? Have you ever felt yourself sitting on the edge of life and about to fall? Have you ever felt the weight of the world crashing down on you? Have you ever felt that throughout your whole life someone was holding onto you and keeping you from falling off the edge of a building, but then suddenly they let go of you? Have you ever looked in the mirror and wanted to cry in someone's arms with all your might because you're scared of what you see? And have you ever seen someone die or get hurt and wish it was you?" I broke down right there. She was killing me with her words. I started to cry so bad I couldn't breath.
"Don't say that Mya! Don't you ever, ever say that again!" I said through my tears.
"Why Sora? I'm just telling the truth.." This was all too intense. She was driving me insane with her words.
"Mya..eight year old girls don't talk like that! What is wrong with you?" She was making me angry! All she was doing was talking and yet I wanted to slam her up against the wall. What is she doing to me?
"Eight...I wish I was once again felt the carefree bliss of eight..but now in only a few days, I have lived through years of abuse...so I am no longer eight..It's funny how one person alone can change everything from your hair to the very way you speak." There was a silence in the air. This was insane. I could feel her soul stabbing every limb of my body like a harsh blade. Could this really be that girl I knew so long ago?
"You're afraid of me..I can feel it..although my body is so numb, without a single feeling creeping through me in days, I can feel you. You feel confused by your feelings of me. I make you more sad than you have ever been in your entire life, yet I make you so angry you want to kill me, yet you are so afraid of me." I stopped tearing and looked curiously at her.
"How do you know I'm thinking that?"
"I can see through you're eyes like open doors...I can see the window to your soul...you are so pure that everything your thinking screams out in harmony to my cold being." Another silence. It was as if she was reaching up and clamping my lips down so I couldn't say anything.
"Sora..do you remember when we were little and you promised me that we would be friends forever?" Stab. A tear fell from my face.
"Yah...Whatever happened?"
"When Kairi came you and Riku forced me out..all you two cared about was fighting for her affection...you didn't care for me any longer after she came into our lives." I felt like strangling her right there. Why is she making me feel so guilty?
"I'm so sorry Mya.."
"I guess even the best of friends can become strangers..and the ones you love most can turn their back on you..." She bent her head down in dismay.
"Why did he do this to me Sora?" I cried even more at every word she spoke.
"I can't answer that for you Mya...Riku just has a weakness of darkness in his heart...I can't explain it....I'm so sorry.."
"Why should you be sorry Sora....you haven't done anything.."
"Yes I have! I didn't even want to come get you! You're making me feel so low!"
"Do you think I'm not aware of this Sora? Do you think I want to be like this? Do you think I want everyone to talk to me for even the tiniest fraction of time and then leave me a broken person? I'm the Princess of Heartless Sora...I can't build or bring things together..I can only tear apart..." This is insane. She doesn't deserve this. Mya is the last person that deserves this. She loves me, even though she's not good at showing it.
"Mya..I'm gonna get you outta here.."
"Sora...you may be able to remove me from this prison..but you can never save me..nothing and no one can save me from this cold, empty nothing that I've become..it is futile...you can take me the farthest distance away from here..but you can never take me away from what I've become..."
"Oh come on Mya! There's gotta be SOMEPLACE I can take you!" After I said that she looked me square in the eyes. I'll never forget what she said...
"Take me to a place where time never ends
Where no one can see me die
Take me to a place where the sky is green,
Where I can lie on the sky blue ground
Take me to a place where no one lives
Where I can sleep for eternity
Oh where is my invisible heaven?
Where you can never see me cry
Take me to a room filled with books that never ends
So that I'll never have to speak
Take me to a room filled with blank faces
So I can paint them on again
Take me to a room filled with nothing,
So I can finally be alone
Oh where is that room?
So I can be alone
To eliminate sound
To eliminate light
To eliminate space
To stop touch
To burn taste"
She hypnotized me. Only a single tear fell from my face as I was in a trance from her sad words. It got to the pint where I couldn't even think. I was at such a loss of her I couldn't even form words. It's funny how someone can do so much to you with just their words. Words can bribe, words can build, words can betray, and words can kill. She taught me that. I didn't know what to say. I wanted to take her in my arms and never let go. To hold her head against my chest as I stroked her hair assuring her everything was going to be all right. To bring life into her hollow soul. I couldn't do that for we were in different rooms and I couldn't get to her. It was killing me. I've never wanted to go someplace so bad than how I wanted to go to the room she was in. I reached my hand through the air vent and held it out to her. She looked up at me and smiled as a tear fell down her beautiful face. She took my hand and we sat there in silence holding each other's hands. That's all we both needed...to feel the other one in their grasp, to touch the other and know that they are still there. We didn't need words. Our souls spoke to each other softly.
"I love you Mya," I said softly.
"I love you too Sora.." Just then the door to Mya's room burst open.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I heard someone shout. It was Riku. I jumped on the inside. "Get her away from him!" He shouted at the Heartless that were following him.
"NO!" Mya screamed. She then took both of her arms and gripped onto me like grim death. I let her. I didn't want her to go.
"Riku what are you doing, damnit!?" I shouted as I tried with all my might to pull Mya away from the Heartless. It was no use. These Heartless had super-strength and I was about to give in. Mya started to cry. She pulled something out of her pocket.
"Here Sora.." she put it in my hand. "Don't lose it..keep it with you always!"
"I will..." I didn't have time to look at it since I was still trying to hold onto Mya with all my might, so I stuffed it in my pocket. Our fingers started to slowly slip apart.
"NO!" I screamed. Then I had lost all my strength and the Heartless pulled Mya away from me. She cried hysterically and screamed the most horribly sad scream as we were pulled away. I'll never forget the vision of Mya with her arm stretched out toward me, crying a river, as we were pulled apart. As soon as she was pulled from me I pounded my fist on the ground and started to cry. I let everything out that I was feeling that I had held back. I cried for Mya, I cried for myself, I cried for everything that went wrong with us. I cried for all the unexplainable emotions I had when I was with her. She was right..I was fine before I talked to her but I left a broken person.
This isn't right. She doesn't deserve this. Nobody deserves this. I'm not gonna let Riku do this. I got off the ground and ran towards the deck of the ship. When I got there, sure enough, there was Riku giving Heartless their orders. I wanted to strangle him right there, but I controlled myself.
"Riku!" I shouted out aggressively. He simply turned his head.
"Why hello.." he said dully.
"Riku, what the hell are you trying to pull? How could you do this to your own sister?!" I yelled. He frowned at me.
"Sora...stay out of things you don't understand."
"What's there to understand?! I don't give a shit about what I don't "understand". No one deserves to be treated like this...especially Mya! She's your sister Riku! She loves you more than anything! How can you DO this to her? What did she do to you?"
"Sora you don't understand...She would have done ANYTHING for me."
"Not this Riku..not this! I can't think of a single person in the free world who would VOLUNTARILY choose to be put under this torture!"
"I told her it would all be ok later!"
"Who gives a flying fuck about later? Think about what you're doing NOW! You're stripping away all her freedom and pride and leaving her with nothing...she won't be able to go on as long as you want her to..."
"Shut up Sora...Mya is strong..she can handle this.."
"No Riku...YOU think she can handle this! Ever stop and think about HER feelings?"
"Shut the hell up Sora! It's my life and I won't have you always bitching at me about it...I know what I'm doing...Heartless!" he shouted as three Heartless instantly ran up behind him, "Take him and the other intruders and make sure they never interfere with our plans again." After he said that two other Heartless came out dragging Kairi, Selphie, and Wakka who were tied up and then one came to carry me. I was in too much shock to even fight back. What is happening? Why is he doing this? I was enraged. My blood started to pump and I clinched my fists so hard I started to bleed.
"Fuck you Riku!" I shouted.
"Back at 'cha!" he shouted as he walked away into another room.
~*Gummi Ship*~
"Can you believe this? Why was Riku doing that?"
"I know! It's so strange.."
"I feel so bad for Mya...."
Everyone else talked amongst themselves about the experience they had just been through, but none of their stories even compared to mine. I had received such an emotional scar it might never go away. I had so many mixed feelings..anger...sadness....brokenness..Mya is so beautiful..How could any of this dark happen upon such an innocent soul..Well I guess the innocents are always the ones to suffer..
I remembered that Mya had given me something just before she got carried away. I reached in my pocket and pulled it out. I stared at the object in my hand for several moments and then wept bitterly. It was the friendship bracelet that I had thrown at her feet all those years ago.
"I love you Mya.." I whispered into the air as I wept in all my sorrow.

I couldn't do that for we were in different rooms and I couldn't get to her. It was killing me. I've never wanted to go someplace so bad than how I wanted to go to the room she was in. I reached my hand through the air vent and held it out to her. She looked up at me and smiled as a tear fell down her beautiful face. She took my hand and we sat there in silence holding each other's hands. That's all we both needed...to feel the other one in their grasp, to touch the other and know that they are still there. We didn't need words. Our souls spoke to each other softly.
"I love you Mya," I said softly.
"I love you too Sora.." Just then the door to Mya's room burst open.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I heard someone shout. It was Riku. I jumped on the inside. "Get her away from him!" He shouted at the Heartless that were following him.
"NO!" Mya screamed. She then took both of her arms and gripped onto me like grim death. I let her. I didn't want her to go.
"Riku what are you doing, damnit!?" I shouted as I tried with all my might to pull Mya away from the Heartless. It was no use. These Heartless had super-strength and I was about to give in. Mya started to cry. She pulled something out of her pocket.
"Here Sora.." she put it in my hand. "Don't lose it..keep it with you always!"
"I will..." I didn't have time to look at it since I was still trying to hold onto Mya with all my might, so I stuffed it in my pocket. Our fingers started to slowly slip apart.
"NO!" I screamed. Then I had lost all my strength and the Heartless pulled Mya away from me. She cried hysterically and screamed the most horribly sad scream as we were pulled away. I'll never forget the vision of Mya with her arm stretched out toward me, crying a river, as we were pulled apart. As soon as she was pulled from me I pounded my fist on the ground and started to cry. I let everything out that I was feeling that I had held back. I cried for Mya, I cried for myself, I cried for everything that went wrong with us. I cried for all the unexplainable emotions I had when I was with her. She was right..I was fine before I talked to her but I left a broken person.
This isn't right. She doesn't deserve this. Nobody deserves this. I'm not gonna let Riku do this. I got off the ground and ran towards the deck of the ship. When I got there, sure enough, there was Riku giving Heartless their orders. I wanted to strangle him right there, but I controlled myself.
"Riku!" I shouted out aggressively. He simply turned his head.
"Why hello.." he said dully.
"Riku, what the hell are you trying to pull? How could you do this to your own sister?!" I yelled. He frowned at me.
"Sora...stay out of things you don't understand."
"What's there to understand?! I don't give a shit about what I don't "understand". No one deserves to be treated like this...especially Mya! She's your sister Riku! She loves you more than anything! How can you DO this to her? What did she do to you?"
"Sora you don't understand...She would have done ANYTHING for me."
"Not this Riku..not this! I can't think of a single person in the free world who would VOLUNTARILY choose to be put under this torture!"
"I told her it would all be ok later!"
"Who gives a flying fuck about later? Think about what you're doing NOW! You're stripping away all her freedom and pride and leaving her with nothing...she won't be able to go on as long as you want her to..."
"Shut up Sora...Mya is strong..she can handle this.."
"No Riku...YOU think she can handle this! Ever stop and think about HER feelings?"
"Shut the hell up Sora! It's my life and I won't have you always bitching at me about it...I know what I'm doing...Heartless!" he shouted as three Heartless instantly ran up behind him, "Take him and the other intruders and make sure they never interfere with our plans again." After he said that two other Heartless came out dragging Kairi, Selphie, and Wakka who were tied up and then one came to carry me. I was in too much shock to even fight back. What is happening? Why is he doing this? I was enraged. My blood started to pump and I clinched my fists so hard I started to bleed.
"Fuck you Riku!" I shouted.
"Back at 'cha!" he shouted as he walked away into another room.

"Can you believe this? Why was Riku doing that?"
"I know! It's so strange.."
"I feel so bad for Mya...."
Everyone else talked amongst themselves about the experience they had just been through, but none of their stories even compared to mine. I had received such an emotional scar it might never go away. I had so many mixed feelings..anger...sadness....brokenness..Mya is so beautiful..How could any of this dark happen upon such an innocent soul..Well I guess the innocents are always the ones to suffer..
I remembered that Mya had given me something just before she got carried away. I reached in my pocket and pulled it out. I stared at the object in my hand for several moments and then wept bitterly. It was the friendship bracelet that I had thrown at her feet all those years ago.
"I love you Mya.." I whispered into the air as I wept in all my sorrow.

Hey y'all! Sorry that took so long (see note at top)..just to clarify this: SORA AND MYA DO NOT HAVE A THING FOR EACHOTHER! There is a BIG difference between loving someone and being IN love with someone...Sora is defiantly not gonna dump Kairi for eight-year-old Mya...
Sora: Rats..

Peace Out,
