Ok here's chapter 11, I guess you guys didn't have to wait since we got the computer set up as soon as we got to the new house. But that's a good thing. I meant to upload this yesterday but since I've been outta school since May 23rd I lost track of time, ^^;. Well here ya go, enjoy! ^_~
***********************************************************************************************
"Whoa. I can't believe all that happened, and I never even heard of it. The Heartless never came to my world as far as I remember." Falina said after listening intently.
"I hadn't heard of the Heartless either, nor did they come to my world." Tetra added with a slightly puzzled look on her face.
"They were probably just not intersted in your worlds. They probably had gotten all the Princesses of Heart and everything before they even considered your worlds." Said Riku leaning against the wall crossing his arms. Falina sighed.
"I can't even remember my world really. It's very fuzzy. From what I could tell it looked like a nice place, but thanks to this stupid memory loss I don't know." Falina hit her hand against her head.
"You lost your memory?" Tetra asked.
"Oh God here we go again." Said Falina sounding irritated.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Tetra said putting her hand to her mouth.
"No it's just that we've had to explain her story about a hundred times, and it's also a long one." Sora informed her. "In short, she was washed up on our island. I found her unconcious and when I woke her up she didn't remember anything so we figured she hit her head when she was brought to our island. We were then brought here somehow and we've been here for a few days. She got back some of her memory though, so she knows who her parents are, but not where she came from or how she got to the island."
"Oh, I see."
"You left out an important part Sora." Falina said.
"What part? Oh yeah your necklace. Her father gave her that necklace and told her that if she were to die, she could be brought back to life using it. But from what her father told her, it can only be used to revive her and her alone." He finished.
"Wow. A necklace that can be used to revive you. Now that I think about it, I think I heard Ceres say something about a necklace like that." Tetra said.
"And apparently, as you said, Ceres wants to kill her in order to get his revenge on her father." Riku said. Tetra looked like she was deep in thought. She looked up at Falina.
"Are you sure that your necklace can only be used to revive you, and not anyone else?" She asked.
"Yeah, at least that's what my father told me. Why?" Falina replied.
"Because I heard Ceres say something about a necklace, and something about a celtic cross. He was talking about how he needed it to revive his wife. I think he was talking about the same neckalce as you're wearing. It all fits together after all."
"Hmm. Well maybe he just doesn't know that it can only be used to revive me." Falina said thinking.
"This is getting too confusing." Sora sighed.
"Ok, so let's get this straight. Ceres somehow brought Falina here in an attempt to get his revenge by killing her and to get her neckalce so he could revive his wife, though it can only be used to bring back Falina and he just doesn't know that. He also by mistake brought Sora here, and I came here through some kind of portal. You are the last survivor of this world and he took you prisoner but you escaped." Explained Riku.
"Yeah I guess that's pretty much it." Tetra replied.
"He now knows where we are though, and he said he'd be coming back. So it probably wouldn't be wise to stay here." Riku added.
"Oh I know where we could go. We could go back to my town. It's small, but some of the houses are still intact, though somewhat torn up." Tetra said cheerfully.
"That sounds good. We should head out in the morning. You don't think Ceres would attack before tomorrow, do ya Tetra?" Asked Riku looking at Tetra.
"No, he'd probably rather wait until that cut in his arm that Sora gave him healed up a bit." She replied.
"Alright then, let's get some sleep." Riku said as he went to his usual sleeping spot. Sora put out the fire, though it was still bright due to the seemingly constant full moon. Sora and Falina laid beside each other, though she didn't sleep with her head on his chest this time. She had her back towards him and he simply put his arm over her and he placed his face snuggly in the back of her neck. She could feel his warm breath down her back, but she didn't mind. He was actually about three inches taller than her, but he had moved his head down so that it was a little less than level with hers. Tetra watched them, guessing the obvious. In a matter of about a couple of months since they met, they had fallen into one of the truest loves there was. Tetra admired them, wishing she had found someone who truly loved her.
The cave was just big enough for five, maybe even six people, but that would be a tight fit. She found her spot on one side of the cave closer to Riku, since she didn't want to disturb the other two. She laid down trying to sleep. Her mind was going over the recent events.
She couldn't really sleep. She'd been in that prison so long she wasn't used to sleeping anywhere else. She kept tossing and turning trying to find a comfortable position. She rolled onto one side, only to find that it didn't help. She rolled back over on her back flinging her arms out, and not realizing how close she was to him, smacked Riku in the face with her hand.
"Ow. What was that...?" He said quickly waking up, yet still sleepy.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just couldn't sleep and I kept tossing, and I guess I accidently hit you." She whispered after quickly withdrawing her hand and putting it over her mouth, slightly laughing.
"It's ok, despite the fact that I was having a really good sleep. So why can't you sleep?" He asked, knowing that he wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep for a few minutes.
"I'm not sure. Probably just cause I'm not used to sleeping in anything but a cell as someone's prisoner." She said the last part rolling her eyes.
"How long were you in there anyway?" He asked curiously, now sitting up as she was.
"I don't really know. It was pretty much ever since he practically destroyed this place and captured me, which I believe was about...almost a year ago."
"Dang, almost a year! I wouldn't have been able to stand it. I would have broken out a long time ago, if not killed myself." He whispered rather loudly.
"I considered killing myself a couple of times actually. But I figured that if I could get out, I could maybe find some of my family or friends. So I waited patiently, and now I'm finally free. Though no one else is alive..." She said. He looked almost sad for her.
"That was probably the best choice. Besides, you have new friends now." He said smiling and cheering her up.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. And from what I can tell, I have some really good friends." She smiled back.
"...You think you can sleep now?" He asked.
"Yeah, I probably can. I have a question though." She replied.
"What is it?"
"...Are those two in love or something?" She asked, smiling and pointing at Falina and Sora. Riku laughed a little.
"Yeah, they pretty much are. I knew for a while that those two were gonna get together sooner or later." He replied smiling.
"I thought so." She smiled again. "It must be nice to have someone who truly loves you." She sighed.
"Yeah, it must be." He said. She turned to him.
"Thanks, Riku." She said softly.
"For what?"
"For talking to me so I could sleep." She replied as she lay back down.
"...No problem." He smiled and lay back down as well. Within a matter of a few minutes, they were both sound asleep, just as were Sora and Falina.
The sun finally rose. Riku woke up first, and woke all the others. Luckily it was still early and they didn't sleep late this time. They went outside, stretching and trying to wake up. They made a fire in the same spot outside the cave. Riku and Sora went to catch a couple of fish for breakfast, while Tetra and Falina stayed behind talking.
"So how long have you known Sora and Riku?" Tetra asked curiously.
"Um, about, a couple of months or so I guess." Falina replied.
"Hm. It seems like it would be longer than that really."
"What makes you think that?" She asked puzzled.
"Nothing really, except the fact that you and Sora seem so much in love." Tetra replied smiling. Falina blushed, surprised.
"...So you noticed. I guess it would seem longer." She smiled and rubbed her head.
"Yeah I did notice at first, but Riku told me too."
"Riku told you..?" Falina said, once again slightly surprised.
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep last night and I accidently hit him in the face with my hand. We talked a little and he told me." Tetra replied.
Just then Riku and Sora came back, half wet, but each of them holding a fish. They cooked them and ate them, resting a little before they went to Tetra's town.
"Well, are we ready?" Riku asked them. They all said yeah and nodded their heads. "So just how far is this town of yours?" He asked again, looking at Tetra.
"Well from Ceres' castle it was about...5 miles I believe. But since this place is closer it should only be about 3 and a half miles or so, s'not like I can really tell." She answered.
"Well we better get goin then." Said Riku. Everyone got up and started walking in the direction Tetra said was her town. She was surprised that she could actually remember which way it was, but since she lived there all her life it wasn't that hard to remember.
After a while of walking, and Sora and Riku racing a couple of times, they saw the small town in the distance. Apparently Tetra had said wrong, it wasn't about 3 and a half miles to it, but only 2 miles.
"There it is guys!" Tetra exclaimed, pointing at it. They all looked and saw it. It really was small, they coud see only about 5 or 6 houses.
Tetra started running towards it and they followed. When they got to it, she was looking around a little confused and disappointed. They were looking at her wondering why.
"I guess more of this place was destroyed than I thought. There used to be a few more houses, and the houses that are left aren't exactly in that great a condition." Tetra said putting her hands on her hips and looking at everything. "Oh well, at least my house is still here." She pointed to a house a little ways down past a couple more. The houses all looked similar really.
She started walking over to it with the others following and looking around. There was a bit of rubble on the ground from the houses. Broken boards, rocks, glass, stuff like that. They followed her on to the porch of her house and she opened the door. A little dirt and dust falling from it. The inside hadn't changed much, except things were knocked over and had dust all over everything.
"Sorry, everything's rather messy." Tetra said putting some thngs back up and in their place.
"It's not your fault. You haven't even been here in a while after all." Sora said.
"Yeah that's true." She went over and dusted off some chairs and a couch. "You guys can sit down while I clean up a bit." She indicated towards the chairs. They nodded and sat down.
After she cleaned it best she could she showed them around. It had two bedrooms, one was hers and the other was her parents before they were killed, a bathroom, living room, and of course a kitchen. There was some food left, but most of it had spoiled or gone bad. They ate what they knew was still good and talked. Riku and Sora told Tetra about their other friends Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie. They also told her about one time when Tidus had a party and they both spent the night, they got up in the middle of the night and got the whip cream out of the fridge and gave Tidus a whip cream beard and bra makeover. Every time they talked about that they would bust out laughing, remembering Tidus' reaction when he woke up. Falina and Tetra laughed hard too.
It finally got late and they got ready for bed. Tetra had to think of where everyone was going to sleep.
"Let's see...I can sleep on the couch, Riku can sleep in my room, Falina can sleep in the other room, but where should Sora sleep...?" She crossed her arms thinking.
"I'm sure he wouldn't mind sleeping in the same bed with Falina." Riku said grinning.
"Oh shut up you perv." Sora smacked him upside the head.
"Relax, just a suggestion." Said Riku.
"Actually, Sora, do you think you could sleep in the same room? That bed's bigger than mine anyway and there's not really anywhere else for you." Tetra asked.
"Yeah sure. Just so long as I don't end up having to sleep in the same bed with Riku." Sora said sticking out his tounge.
"Heck no. I would kill either you or myself before that ever happened, probably you." Riku glanced at him.
"Well, it's settled then. Come on and I'll get you guys situated." They followed her to the rooms. She went in her parents room first, making the bed a little. She turned and looked at the clothes Falina was wearing. They were all dirty and wrinkled, and there was still a blood stain on her side. 'Ew, I wonder what happened.' She thought.
"Falina do you want me to loan you some different clothes, those are pretty dirty."
"Yes, please. I've been dying to get out of these for a while." Falina replied. Tetra and Falina walked back to her room, and Tetra looked through her closet.
"Let's see if I even have any to fit you, cause I think I'm a bit taller than you." She went over to her dresser and looked in one of the drawers, and pulled out a pair of loose dark red pants and a black tank top. She tossed them to Falina.
"Here, you can wear these for tonight and I'll get you something else for in the morning." Tetra said. "What happened to your side anyway?" She asked looking at the blood stain.
"Oh, I landed on a sharp rock when we first got here. Sora did too, but it was on his arm." She replied, lifting up her shirt and showing her the not-quite-healed-yet wound.
"Yeah I noticed his, but didn't ask. You can change in here while I go get some more blankets for myself." With that she went back to the other room. Falina undressed and put them on. She came out and went to the other room. Sora had gotten into bed already, and when Tetra left to go get Riku situated, she got in with him. Tetra turned out the light and walked away, but Riku stayed back a second and popped his head in the doorway.
"I better not hear any loud noises from in here tonight ok." Riku said grinning widely. Sora threw a pillow at him, but he quickly closed the door before it hit and opened it again.
"Missed me." Falina threw her pillow and hit him smack in the face. "Ok I'm leavin now." He closed the door and went in Tetra's room where she was.
"Ok so you're sleepin in here, and I'm sleepin on the couch." Tetra said arranging the bed.
"I can take the couch if ya want." Riku said.
"No it's fine."
"...Alright, suit yourself." He shrugged and went over to the bed. She left with her blankets and he got in the bed.
"Goodnight." She said before turning out the light.
"Goodnight." He replied.
She got on the couch, covered herself with the blankets, and turned off the lamp. She sighed and lay down. They all drifted to sleep quickly, now that they were in more comfortable surroundings. Riku was the only one still lying awake. He lay there with his arms folded behind his head staring out the window next to the bed. For once the moon wasn't full like it always seemed, but crescent. The sky was clear and you could see stars and a few clouds. He looked up at the ceiling then at the blanket. It was a light blue color, and looked old. The bed frame was white, as was the carpet and walls.
He was thinking of everything that had happened to him. Nothing interesting had ever happened to him before Kingdom Hearts, and now he was suddenly taken to some world he had never heard of before. And his best friend had found someone he loved, which Riku envied because he had always longed for someone as well. Not Kairi though. He used to like her, but she just changed ever since Kingdom Hearts.
He had also made a new friend since he came here, Tetra. She was nice, he thought, and kind. He also thought her as a really strong person, emotionally, for being kept prisoner for so long and not ending up dying. 'Maybe', he thought, 'Tetra's my someone...just as Falina is Sora's...' With that he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep. And as fate would have it, Tetra had thought the same of him...

"Whoa. I can't believe all that happened, and I never even heard of it. The Heartless never came to my world as far as I remember." Falina said after listening intently.

"I can't even remember my world really. It's very fuzzy. From what I could tell it looked like a nice place, but thanks to this stupid memory loss I don't know." Falina hit her hand against her head.
"You lost your memory?" Tetra asked.
"Oh God here we go again." Said Falina sounding irritated.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Tetra said putting her hand to her mouth.
"No it's just that we've had to explain her story about a hundred times, and it's also a long one." Sora informed her. "In short, she was washed up on our island. I found her unconcious and when I woke her up she didn't remember anything so we figured she hit her head when she was brought to our island.

They also told her about one time when Tidus had a party and they both spent the night, they got up in the middle of the night and got the whip cream out of the fridge and gave Tidus a whip cream beard and bra makeover.

"Let's see if I even have any to fit you, cause I think I'm a bit taller than you." She went over to her dresser and looked in one of the drawers, and pulled out a pair of loose dark red pants and a black tank top. She tossed them to Falina.
"Here, you can wear these for tonight and I'll get you something else for in the morning." Tetra said. "What happened to your side anyway?" She asked looking at the blood stain.
"Oh, I landed on a sharp rock when we first got here. Sora did too, but it was on his arm." She replied, lifting up her shirt and showing her the not-quite-healed-yet wound.

"Missed me." Falina threw her pillow and hit him smack in the face. "Ok I'm leavin now." He closed the door and went in Tetra's room where she was.
"Ok so you're sleepin in here, and I'm sleepin on the couch." Tetra said arranging the bed.
"I can take the couch if ya want." Riku said.
"No it's fine."
"...Alright, suit yourself." He shrugged and went over to the bed. She left with her blankets and he got in the bed.
"Goodnight." She said before turning out the light.
"Goodnight." He replied.
She got on the couch, covered herself with the blankets, and turned off the lamp. She sighed and lay down. They all drifted to sleep quickly, now that they were in more comfortable surroundings. Riku was the only one still lying awake. He lay there with his arms folded behind his head staring out the window next to the bed. For once the moon wasn't full like it always seemed, but crescent. The sky was clear and you could see stars and a few clouds. He looked up at the ceiling then at the blanket. It was a light blue color, and looked old. The bed frame was white, as was the carpet and walls.
He was thinking of everything that had happened to him. Nothing interesting had ever happened to him before Kingdom Hearts, and now he was suddenly taken to some world he had never heard of before. And his best friend had found someone he loved, which Riku envied because he had always longed for someone as well. Not Kairi though. He used to like her, but she just changed ever since Kingdom Hearts.
He had also made a new friend since he came here, Tetra. She was nice, he thought, and kind. He also thought her as a really strong person, emotionally, for being kept prisoner for so long and not ending up dying. 'Maybe', he thought, 'Tetra's my someone...just as Falina is Sora's...' With that he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep. And as fate would have it, Tetra had thought the same of him...

Dark Angel 13388: I'm glad you think my fic is really cool. I wasn't sure if many ppl would think so cause I added my own character and everything. I'm updating every Friday, but if something comes up, it'll be up by Saturday, like this chapter, heh heh ^^;. Actually I got the idea from Inuyasha, but it's not the same jewel and everything. I couldn't think any way of how he became a demon, so I just thought, "Hey, why don't I rip something off of Inuyasha?" Lol. Thanx for your review!
