"Sora!"

He turned to see his two best friends on the beach.

"Hi guys!"

The girl giggled, and the boy chuckled.

"Hey Sora."

They watch the sun go down as they discuss the day's events.

"So, what are we going to do today?"

His friends watch him closely.

"Have you forgotten?"

He looks at them strangely.

"What?"

All of a sudden, he is falling into darkness.

"Your promise."

The girl's face rises from the depths.

"Kairi!"

She disappears.

"You were supposed to come back to me. I waited and waited for you, but you never came."

He thrashes against some invisible force holding him down.

"I'm trying! But I have to-"

The boy's voice was drowned out by another.

"Because of you, I chose the darkness. Because of you, the creator of heartless possessed me. Because of you, I'm trapped behind the Door. Yet you have done nothing to save me."

Blue eyes widen and plead s the accusations echo over and over.

"What do you think I've been doing-"

A vortex of swirling purple and black energy dragged the boy down, drowning out his cries.

"Help!!!"

Abruptly it stopped, and the boy found himself back on his island at the dock with the girl.

"Sora, let's take the raft and go, just the two of us!"

He sees himself look at her peculiarly.

"Huh?"

The girl laughs.

"Just kidding."

The boy relaxes.

"What's gotten into you? You're the one that changed Kairi."

The girl stares into the sunset.

"Maybe. You know, I was a little afraid at first, but now I'm ready.

No matter where I go or what I see, I know I can always come back here. Right?"

He glances at her, puzzled.

"Yeah, of course!"

She smiles at him.

"That's good... Sora, don't ever change."

As the darkness swallows him up, the boy smiles.

"I won't."

And somewhere on the road, somebody screams.

And the promise that was made was soon to be determined. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~{REVIEWS}~

Okay, I have 2 more reviews. I guess the 5-review thingy didn't work, but it was just an experiment anyhow.

~Mathew~

Ummm, first of all, I'm just getting started! This is the prologue you know. I'm giving info before I get into the story. Anyway, this isn't my first story, it's my second, and the story so far is supposed to be in italics, to give it a dreamy, mysterious feel, (darn you FF.net) and the 5 reviews a chapter seems to work for other authors, and this is the first time I've tried it. Bottom line is, if you don't like it, don't read it. But I thank you for your honest opinion.
You get soda!

I probably won't do anymore of the 5-reviews thingies. And since the next chapter is where the action starts, hopefully the chapters will be longer. As to your question, this will be a Sora/Riku AND a Sora/Kairi fic. It's more like how they relate to each other. However, there will probably be no Riku/Kairi moments. I don't know. We'll see.
You get pizza!

~{UPDATES}~

Okay people, the prologue is over! In the next chapters, we will actually get on with the story and (hopefully) get some action going.

This is actually my 2nd story. My 1st story is Sky Blue Eyes, and they re just letters from various characters in KH to Sora.

This story is Sora/Riku and Sora/Kairi. Sorry, this is not a Riku/Kairi fic.

Next chapter is Another Side, Another Story, and some of Deep Dive. I'm trying to fit this in with the story, so I might leave some things out.

Thanks for everyone who reads this. I hope you like it!
