A/n: Thanks for the review. Since you like it so much, here's chapter two.

Twilight slowly began to creep up on the Destiny Islands. Throughout the entire day, Sora and his friends questioned the possible reasons of why the heartless were still around. Hours passed by like minutes as the group sat inside the warm Seaside Shack, till Kairi noticed it was almost time to go home. Sora stood up from the ground, dusting himself off.
"I think it's safe to assume that the heartless aren't anywhere near Destiny Islands, right?"
The woman nodded. "I'm not quite sure ... My world is not too far away from this place. But it's clear that the heartless aren't trying to leave my world. They're searching for something."
"If the heartless are back, do you think that Ansem-" Kairi began, but stopped with a frown on her face.
"I doubt Ansem is alive," Riku shrugged, "not after being emitted to the light of Kingdom Hearts."
"Yeah," Sora nodded. "Riku's right. The heartless probably never disappeared. But I wonder what they're searching for."
"We'll never know till we get to her world," Riku mumbled. "It's as simple as that."
"Hey, what is your name?" Tidus quickly brought up. "You never told us; but then again, we never told you who we are."
The woman smiled. "My name is Sophia. It's nice to meet you."
"The name's Tidus," the blond said with a grin. "The two girls are Kairi and Selphie. Wakka's the one with the goofy accent."
"Hey!" Wakka shouted, causing the others to snicker.
"Sora's the one with the spiky hair and Riku's the cool one."
Sophia nodded. "Yes, I see."
"Uh, oh. Looks like we better get home." Kairi cracked open the door. "It's getting darker by the second."
"But, what about Sophia?" Sora questioned. "We can't just leave her here."
"Someone's going to have to stay with her." Riku walked up to the group. "Who's it gonna be?"
"I'll do it!" Sora quickly volunteer. "And anyway, what if the heartless suddenly show up?"
"Then I'll stay, too." Riku mumbled. "The rest of you can go home. We'll keep an eye on her."
Kairi nodded. "I wanna stay with you guys. Besides, she wouldn't want to be cooped up with a bunch of boys."

It was silent and very tranquil; the sound of the ocean's waves splashing against the sun couldn't wake Sora up for anything. Kairi laid on a set of soft covers that she brought for Sophia, while Riku sat on the ground, against the wall with his arms crossed and eyes closed. Sophia laid on a set of soft bed covers with her eyes wide open. Her silver eyes looked at both her sides before she got up and slowly crept out of the Seaside Shack.
The sweet ocean breeze was moist and refreshing as Sophia slowly walked across the shadowed sand, one hand over her swollen belly while the other hand pushed back her brunette hair. It seemed too peaceful outside.
"I figured you'd walk outside," a voice cutted through the islands' tranquility.
Sophia turned around to see a flicker of Riku's silver hair flow with the calm breeze. She closed her eyes and gave a not surprised sigh. Riku trudged passed her and stopped, not bothering to look at her at all.
"What were you going to do?" Riku's question oddly. "Runaway again?"
"I can't stay here," Sophia mumbled aloud. "Riku, just go back to bed."
"No, thanks." Riku turned to face the woman. "You still didn't answer my question."
Sophia nodded. "You're right. I was going to run away. For your home's safety. Those creatures could come here and bring destruction upon the beauty that it holds. I-I couldn't stand to see another world become like mine."
"So, you can all the out here just to ask for Sora to find some kids and then you want to leave? Without telling us, might I add?" Riku narrowed his eyes.
"It will come after me .. and probably you all." Sophia frowned. "Just let me go, Riku."
"Who will come after you? The heartless? Those white creatures? Or is it something else you don't mind bothering to tell me about, since you were afraid to tell the others about it." Riku glared at Sophia. "I'm all ears."
It was Sophia's turn to frown. "What are you talking about? I haven't hid anything from you all."
"Don't act stupid," Riku frowned. "An old enemy of ours is alive and I bet it's Ansem, isn't it?"
"Hah! I can't believe you," Sophia laughed. "Riku, I'm not hiding anything away from you and your friends. And what about an old enemy? Didn't you kids talk about the heartless? You should be more worried about them."
"There's more to your story than meets the eyes and I can feel it." Riku nodded. "But I'll find out. Either way it goes."
Sophia frowned as Riku walked passed her and pass the Seaside Shack. Rubbing her stomach, she frowned with anger in her eyes. Riku wasn't a kid to be fooling around with and she could clearly see that.

Sitting on the limb of the Paopu fruit tree, Riku stared passed the ocean. Turning around, he glanced at the figure known as Sophia. The young woman appeared to be opening the Seaside Shack's door. Turning back around, Riku frowned and looked down at the sand.
"Riku, what are you doing?"
Riku looked back to see a sleepy looking Sora rub his oceanic eyes and walk up to the tree's trunk. Riku rolled his eyes as Sora stumbled over. Things hadn't change between after the heartless incident. Sora easily forgave him like the whole thing never happened!
"What are you doing up?" Riku mumbled with look of irritation. "You were knocked out when I left the shack."
"I heard you when you closed the door. Then I walked out and saw you talking to Sophia. What's up? Why was she up, around, and going?" Sora quickly asked with a concern look.
"I don't trust her," Riku muttered with a frown. "I just don't trust her."
"Why?" Sora frowned. "Is she bad or something?"
"She's hiding the truth." Riku glanced at Sora. "Sora, you and I both know that there's no way that she could've traveled here. The worlds barriers are up still. Because if they weren't, someone or something would've appeared here and sent our world in to oblivion."
"Yeah, I know it's strange. But she hasn't tried to hurt us."
Riku nodded. "I know that but I have this feeling about her. I just don't want anything to happen to us. Besides, I thought since you and King Mickey sealed the door to Kingdom Hearts, the heartless would not show up again."
"And if the heartless was here, we would be able to see shooting stars. I guess you have a point there, Riku. But, still-she seems so nice."
Riku narrowed his eyes. "Ansem seemed like he was nice until he took over my body; trust is hard to keep and I still don't feel like I can be trusted."
"Riku, I trust you." Sora stared at the silver haired boy. "Don't be so hard on yourself."
"You have no idea what if felt like ... " Riku jumped out the tree. "To see only darkness for a long time, thinking your dead, and then be stuck in a world where darkness ruled? I couldn't stand it and that world, that thought of being lost and forgotten, will never leave me alone."
"It's okay, Riku. It'll be okay." Sora mumbled. "Hey, what's that?"
The two boys glanced near the small water fall to see a small, spectral figure. Sora walked forward and squinted his eyes to get a clearer look at the figure. It was a small girl. Though he could hardly see her face, Sora knew it was a girl. Her hair was glowing and floating in an enigmatic way. Glancing at Riku, Sora nodded with his friend.
"I think that's one of the Advent Children."
