A/N: Okay. Here is my first shot at a Kingdom Hearts fic. I love that game. It is the greatest. As long as your flames are worth typing, I'll allow all nasty things you have to say about my spelling, grammar, paragraph spacing, etc, etc. Ultimate freedom, huh?   DISCLAIMER: Okay. I do not own Kingdom Hearts, squaresoft, or anything else related to Kingdom Hearts. The things I DO own, however, is (I hope) my original idea, and my character(s). I'm not going to write this in many more chapters. I mean, one should be enough. (don't rub it in my face that I don't own this awesome game!!! Grrr...) ah, yes, I don't own the pretty song either. Utada Hikaru owns the pretty song.

I don't intend to make this at all romancey... but I have no guarantees as my mind develops this story. (gag)

Chapter One. Theme Song.

Herzophia sat on the floor on a pillow, playing her beloved Kingdom Hearts game. She had just gotten the game and was extremely excited about playing it. The 14-year-old had just begun a game, and was watching the intro, listening to that catchy song. A bit too catchy, as it was promptly stuck in her head. She grumbled under her breath, and shook her silver-covered head, trying to get that infernal tune out of her mind. She could still hear it while she was choosing her weapon, sword, shield, or staff.

When you walk away...

Grrr.... Herzophia's amber eyes flashed. The game was good and all, but for crying out loud, she did not want to hear the same song a million times over! One time was good enough for her. What's worse was she had just the refrain stuck in her head. She couldn't remember the entire song. So this was going in her head over and over and over:

When you walk away

You don't hear me say please

Oh baby, don't go

Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight

It's hard to let it go

Over. And over. And over. Grrr. She took out her anger as she was smashing a few of the shadows that popped up from the ground. Within about ten minutes of when she started, she (rather, Sora) was running around on the Destiny Islands picking up the materials for the raft and fighting with Tidus and the others. She finished with the raft thing, and had Sora go to Kairi and call it a day. She watched the cutscene after that. And then played some more. She finished with the food-gathering thing.

Simple and clean is the way that you're...

Gah! That infernal song again! Herzophia shook her head again, hoping to clear it. She watched the cutscene again, and ran around on the island. She saved the game before she went to bed. It was 11:00 p.m., she had to get SOME rest. Besides, she could always turn it on tomorrow morning and proceed to beat the life out of some more shadows. She trudged up the stairs to her bedroom, all the while thinking of how much further she would get in Kingdom Hearts the next day. She got into her pajamas, brushed her teeth, and slid under her covers. Rolling over onto one side, she let the darkness of sleep envelop her.

You're giving me too many things

Lately you're all I need

You smiled at me and said,

Don't get me wrong I love you

But does that mean I have to meet your father?

When we are older you'll understand

What I meant when I said "no,

I don't think life is quite that simple."

When you walk away

You don't hear me say please

Oh baby, don't go

Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight

It's hard to let it go...

And there is the first chapter of my story. Short, I know. But I'm not writing more till I know people are happy with what I'm writing. So, please, if you could give a few seconds to tell me what you think, I will give you a cookie! If you don't mind text cookies, anyway...
