by Third Rabbit

Disclaimer: I get tired of having to say this every single time I type a Fanfiction. Once again, I do not and never will own the Kingdom Hearts characters or any other thing from the game. I own only my Oc's and that's that.
A/n: I'm getting Sonic Heroes!! Oh, yeah. Thanks for the reviews. I can't wait till Advent Children comes out either. I wonder if the guy who played Cloud in KH will play his voice? I liked Cloud's voice. Oh and I think this fic seems to be slowly turning in to a story focusing on Riku? Oh, well. Here's chapter three.

The gentle gust of wind caused strands of brunette hair and platinum hair to sway along the side of two boys' faces. Sora glanced at Riku, who appeared to be a skeptic about the entire scene. The glowing child appeared to be waiting for something or ... someone.
"Let's go," Sora said with a slight muff, "I wonder who she is?"
"Can't be good if you ask me," Riku simply replied as the two headed off.
Hurrying across the shadowed sand seemed to bring a sense of fear in to both Sora and Riku's mind; atleast till they got to the waterfall. Crystal colored water splashed down in the little area as though it was a small oasis. Perfect with one exception: the girl was gone. Crossing his arms, Riku rolled his eyes with irritation.
"Hey! Where'd she go?" Sora pouted and glanced around them.
It was just utter silence. "Maybe we were hallucinating?"
Riku nodded. "At the same time; about the same thing? I don't think so. She just couldn't have disappeared."
Walking up to the waterfall, Riku's aquamarine eyes flickered as the waterfall seemed to just stop. The water was floating in mid air, defying the laws of gravity. He glanced at Sora, who appeared just as shock as he did; everything around them had stopped in time; in motion.
"Okay, what the heck's going on?" Riku frowned as he turned his back on the waterfall and glanced at the motionless island.
"Time's stopped; just like that magic I learned. It's weird." Sora replied with a slightly smug look. "Who could've done this?"
{I had to stop it ... }
Riku stared in to the emptiness. "Who said that!"
{I had to stop the motion .... because of me .. }
Sora frowned. "Who are you? Where are you?"
{Amono ... }
Sora and Riku looked at one another. "Who?"
{I came to see you ... }
"Whoever you are, we can't see you. Show yourself!"
A bright flash suddenly emerged from the corner of both Sora and Riku's eyes; a soft feeling surfaced around them as their eyes adjusted to see the same child. She floated with her eyes closed, her hair colorless, and her skin moist with soft tones of honey brown. The light slowly began to die down, revealing the earth tones of Destiny Islands. Riku rubbed his eyes before glancing at the floating child before him. Sora touched his chest, feeling his heart beat softly against his chest.
{Don't trust it ... }
"What?" Riku took a step closer to the child. "Don't trust who? Who are you?"
{My name is Zelda. Don't trust it ... It will seek out your heart, just like they do .. }
"Zelda." Riku mumbled, then he looked at her. "Are you one of them? The children?"
{We need you, Riku and we need Sora; warriors of the keyblade. Fate as sought you out ... }
"Zelda," Sora began, "who are "They"?"
{The ones who sought your heart in the beginning; the dark ones. But also the light ones.}
"The heartless is back, then." Riku frowned. "But, who or what are the light ones?"
{Riku, we seek your fate; we seek the light. You are the "key" to fate as of now. Destiny is up to you. But, can you see it? Don't you know it?}
"What're you talking about?" Riku stared at the child. "Hey! Answer me!"
The child began to fade away slowly, motion returning to the island. Riku frowned as the light once again blinded both him and Sora. Soft whispers echoed throughout both his and Sora's minds; Zelda's voice.
{An old enemy approaches; Thus, this calls for three to step forward.}
Aquamarine eyes slowly opened to meet a gust of wind; Riku frowned as he looked around himself to see Sora rubbing his oceanic eyes hard. A confused thought slowly submerged in his mind: Zelda. The girl, for some reason, seemed awfully familiar to him. Turning away from his bestfriend, Riku frowned as he mumbled.
"Come on, Sora. Let's go back to the shack. There's nothing left here now."

In the early morning, the sound of the waves crashing against the beach quickly woke up Riku. His eyes showed a sign of no more than three hours of sleep; glancing around, he quickly saw the body of Sora's outstretched on several bed sheets. The spiky haired boy's cherry lips moved a couple of times, mumbling "Kairi." Riku rolled his eyes as he slowly got up and headed out the shack.
Outside, the sweet fragrance of Destiny Islands came back with a hint of coconut. Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie had returned, no doubt, with several food items; Kairi sat on the white sand, beside Sophia and laughed. The two seemed to be talking. Riku frowned and walked off toward the other side of the island.
On the other side, the sand looked magnificently beautiful as always. Riku slightly smiled. Memories of building the raft clogged his mind; Sora always talked through the entire time that they worked on the raft. It was annoying back then, Riku thought to himself, but now I miss those days. Walking toward the ocean, he stopped noticing a shadow. Rolling his eyes, Riku quickly jumped out the way and crossed his arms, a sigh being released. Sora laid on the ground, frowning slightly. Sitting up, he nodded to himself.
"Ah, man! I almost had you," Sora whined angrily.
Riku smirked. "That's not good, Sora. I think you're losing your touch!"
They remained in their same position for a few minutes till Sora stood up. He stared out toward the see with a slight frown slowly appearing. Turning to Riku, Sora nodded with a look of confusion and worry.
"Riku, I had a dream last night. A dream about ..."
"Zelda?" Riku said with his eyes on Sora.
"Yeah," Sora nodded. "I had a dream about Zelda and you."
Riku gave a look of surprise. "I wasn't expecting that."
"Neither was I," Sora managed to laugh. "In the dream, you and Zelda were ... well, how can I put it?"
Riku looked agitated. "Sora ..."
"What? Oh, no! I wasn't talking about something like that, Riku!" Sora blushed hard with his goofy smile.
"Anyway, what was the dream about?" Riku frowned as he asked, redirecting Sora.
"In the dream, Zelda wasn't calling you Riku; I don't even think it was you. This guy had gray eyes. But he looked exactly like you. Zelda called him Helios. Anyway, they were talking about the heartless and about Ansem. Riku, she said an old enemy would appear. What if it's Ansem?"
"I don't think so." Riku nodded. "It just doesn't seem like it would be; no, it's somebody else."
"Who?" Sora frowned.
Before another word could be spoken, the island began to shake, rattle, and roar. Sora fell to the ground while Riku quickly tried to regain balance. Slowly, darkness began to leak towards the shore. Sora quickly got up and followed Riku upward. A bright portal slowly appeared behind them. The darkness was continuing the draw up.
"This can't be happening!" Sora frowned. "We sealed the door to Kingdom Hearts."
"Looks like Zelda wasn't kidding." Riku turned towards the portal. "Looks like we have no choice but to go through the portal."
"What?! What about Kairi?" Sora stared at Riku.
"If Sophia made it out of her world, she can help Kairi make it out of this world. We can't go back to where they are. The darkness is blocking the way." Riku mumbled as he walked toward the portal.
"Come one, Sora."
Sora stared at Riku; it was as though his adventure was repeating itself. But this time it was different; Riku was actually on his side. Hurrying to the silver haired boy, Sora stared at the bright portal. Glancing at Riku, he shrugged.
"Do we just jump?"
"I guess so."
The two nodded and quickly jumped at the same time. White balls of light surrounded them as they continued to fall down what seemed like an endless abyss. Suddenly, they hit the ground with impact. Riku's aquamarine eyes opened to meet a set of orange eyes. Sitting up, he gasped as a young boy, perhaps Selphie and Tidus' age, staring at him. The boy smiled.
"Amono, is that you?"
