Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or the game kingdom hearts. If I did I wouldn't be here I would be making the next game so yeah.
Anyway this is my first fanfic right now, thinking of a Sora/kairi but not sure, there is going to be no Sora/Riku, Sora/cloud, or anything of that man on man stuff….ewww. I hope you enjoy, being the person that I am I'll continue this for awhile until it builds some length because I don't know about you but I mostly read the really long ones on , don't you…0O
It'll probably get a rating change later on but we will see for now how things work out.
Anyway this story takes place after Kingdom Hearts, all original characters.
--------------------------------- Somewhere in the darkness ------------------What if…
One heart wasn't enough
What if… There was no one to guide your hand
What if… Nobody could save the day
What if…innocence was forever?
What if…light was darker than darkness itself?
What if…
15 seconds… is a life time…15 seconds could end a life…15 seconds could give the chance for life…15 seconds could decide a war, win the world, or lose everything…
5 seconds…
3 seconds…
One… is all the time it takes to create a hero… to hold on for one more second…to stand up one more time…to wish once and to dream a lifetime…all it takes is one.
Many men have died with no reason and others have lived with no purpose…to be something you must give up another… to succeed someone must fail…a wish, a goal, a dream, drives people, drives the best, creates the honorable, and destroys a hero…
To live without dreams is life without a soul. A wish is a heart and a heart is connected to the soul. You cannot live with out either of them but you can only listen to one of them. Believing isn't a way to bring confidence, believing is a way to bring power. Believing is power; to have faith is to hold your heart in your hand and your soul on your shoulder.
What can man do against the darkness… what can man do against fear… a man can do nothing…but the heart… the heart's power is limitless... the heart cannot be stopped by boundaries it does not know of cultures or the color or race of people, it does not care for the past only for the future.
One door to the light
One door to the darkness
and one door to the…
One keyblade many hearts
Endless darkness…one light
Love is the greatest power of the heart. It binds the heart and soul and the soul to the lover…to love is a wish, a dream, and a right of all.
"Why are you telling me this?" a voice whispered from the darkness
You cannot believe in others, but only in yourself"YOU SAID THAT LAST TIME!" thequite voice exploding into fury. " What the hell is that suppose to mean anyway huh..?" the fury now changing into a sarcastic tone. "Geez you never say anything new" the voice rang out.
She is waiting… she always has been… and will continue to wait… forever… but they will not let her …….. It is time for you to finally realize the true power of the blade……..
"wow….. You said something new, and by she do you mean her…" the voice quickly fading out then returning " but if you're all knowing as you make yourself seem then you know that the keyblade is gone, its been gone for
YOU FOOLDO YOU NOT HAVE FAITH
"HOLY SHIT" astonished at the this voice the young man yelped
Are you afraid?
"Of what?"
Seeing her, or being here
"Hey lets get this out of the way first, I am standing here in total darkness, this already creepy voice of this dude just shook the whole world or where ever I am"
This will be the last time we speak like this for the next time we meet some one will die…
Goodbye
"Hey wait you cant leave yet!!!" "What…wait… what did you mean by that!"
"WAIT!!!
"SORA, SORA WAKE UP" came a scream from nowhere
"uhhh… what… huh… god Donald you spit all over me" groggily Sora opened his eyes to see his feathery friend leaning over him with a worried expression he usually got from his mother when ever he and Rikku practice just a little to hard… man he missed home, his room, Riku, Tidus, Wakka, Selphie, the island, and the warm sun. Sitting up he wiped the sleep from his eyes and stretched his arms and kicked out his legs…. Man that was an uncomfortable rock… half asleep he turned to Donald trying at the same time to nurse a kink in his neck.
"Donald…. when you want to wake up someone you usually pour a bucket of water on them, not spit…"
"Hey I don't spit" a now pissy Donald said crossing his arms. Sora still staring at Donald let out a little grunt
"Heh heh maybe just a little" Donald now embarrassed
" A little…" a now teasing Sora laughed " why you big, big, big palooka!!!" Donald screamed continuosly-hitting Sora on the head
Looking around Sora didn't notice goofy anywhere started to wonder…"hey where's goofy?"
"He said he saw something in the woods but knowing that big head moron his imagination is probably wondering off again" Donald trudged away
"I'll go look for him"
Taking another look around he seemed lost not remembering where he was. He was sitting in a small opening in a very old forest. The opening had a small pond with lily pads covering most of the right side. Walking to the pond and looking across it he grass swayed with the light breeze blowing his already crazy hair very slightly. Starring off into the woods to see the massive trees that grow into the forest made the forest almost seem alive as though this whole place was magical. The trees were bare all around except for their tops their tops creates an almost perfect canopy. With the lack if limbs and leaves you could see for quite a ways through the woods. As he continued to look around he notice the rather large rock he slept on the night before. It had a flat top except for a small hump where he would put rolled up shirt for so he could have a makeshift pillow. As he thought about his pillow he remembered his shirt was still on top of the rock.
"Oh man almost forgot that" saying out loud to himself with one of those toothy grins.
Grabbing his shirt his white button up t-shirt that was about 9 sizes too small he squeezed his muscular chest into the tiny shirt. He stood 5 ' 10 now making his short look more like a tight pair of boxers. He grabbed the back of the shorts and pulled the now unpleasant weadgy out.
"As soon as we get out of here I am getting some new clothes…" with all the mooney he picked up from all the heartless he had slain over the years… "Who would of known killing heartless could be so profitable?" smirking at this he began to think "how much do we have… cant remember… oh well Ill ask Donald even though goofy keeps it all in those huge pockets"
---
"Whada ya think we should do Donald" goofy's worried expression explained everything.
Donald and goofy stood in another sort of clearing except there was 3 large bushy trees creating a perfect sanctuary from anything. The 3 trees were completely different then anything else in the forest and walking for so long it was good to see something different for a change.
"I just don't know goofy, every time we lose one of them he loses some more of his memory… how long as it been since the oath keeper disappeared?" Donald's usually cool attitude was now over taken with concern.
"Um I think itsa been about um there 6 der no 8 months now" goofy pondered " But almost all of dem are gone and all there here is left is just the fancy doohickey one, the wieirdish thing, and the really shinny one…"
"WHAT!!!"
"BUT WE HAD FOUR YEASTERDAY!!!"
"I know that it's just that it was jus over there… I swear I saw it get up and leave but I thought dat I was ermagining things.
"GOFFY!!! Oh this is not good… he cant do magic, he isn't very smart anymore, he tends to forget stuff, and he cant even remember Kairi… this is bad goofy"
"… wait I think I heard somtin." Raising one of his floppy ears with his hands goofy tries to listen closely
Both of them stare into the woods looking for anything. Just then they saw a branch sway.
"You heard that right." Donald said as he pulled out his ultimate weapon only known as the save the queen. Taking the hint goofy unlatched his shield form his back and got right into his fighting position. With both of their ultimate skills and weapons to their disposal any one thinking of messing with them had another thing coming.
Just then a branch broke sending a large piece of wood right onto Donald's head and a very familiar female ninja into goofy.
"Oww that hurt" looking around the female ninja saw a bird seeing birds and a really big goof splattered underneath her.
"Oh im soooo sorry are you guys o.k."
"Oh my head" quickly shaking his head and coming back to reality he started yelling and throwing his hands all over the place
"Who do you think you are landing on me like that have you lost your mind, you big palooka I should knock some sense into you I'll show you what's wrong with kids these days, they're so irresponsible!!!!!" Donald now in a full tantrum.
" Well geez you should of moved" grunted the ninja
"Why YOU!!!"
"Hold up there Donald……" Looking at the very distinct features of a mature female frame then looking into the ninja eyes he recognized immediately who the intruder was.
"YUFFIE!!" grabbing her and pulling her into a bear Yuffie shrieked as goofy started to crush her.
"Goofy!" Donald yelled as he hit him over the head "put her down"
"Gosh sorry its just been so long…"goofy know kicking the ground in a pathetic way with his hands behind his back
"Its o.k. goof" Yuffie giving him a kiss on the check
"Ah shucks" goofy said as he turned red and his ears spiraled together.
"Donald!!!" Yuffie yelled as she grabbed him and hugged him.
"Let me go woman!!!" Donald swearing, "I'm married!!!"
"Sorry, wow where have you guys been" Yuffie now worries
"Lost" "yeah lost" Donald and goofy shook their heads in unison.
"Every one has been looking for you. Don't you know the heartless are back, and this time they have friends, it's terrible!" Yuffie now in interrogation mode.
"Do you have any idea how long every one has been looking for you?" Yuffie now with her hands on her hips.
"Lets see we've been here for 9 months…"
"Wrong, you guys have been missing for over 2 and a half years"…….
"WHAT" "That's impossible" Donald and goofy screamed in complete shock.
---
Sora sat on the rock he had slept on thinking about how many heartless he had slain. "Oh man that huge thing, what was its name… ummm behemoth oh yeah…man the first time I saw that I was in complete shock, how could a heartless get so, so big.
Man where did those 2 go Donald went out to go get goofy but they have been go for… um um… how long um… yeah like 30 minutes…
"im so bored" Sora clearly not talking to anyone. "This is so boring, I just want to get out of this forest. We have been in here for weeks and it doesn't seem like we've gotten anywhere"
"Oh but you have" a voice from the forest caught Sora off guard as he spun his head it was so fast it almost came clean off his body. "wow…. When did you get um… all um… wow…." Sora stood from the rock in complete amazement at the now completely gorgeous female that stood leaning against a tree. She stood no more than 5 ' 1 or 5'2 with her hair short and almost as crazy as Sora's but you she had a red clip in her hair to keep her bangs from coming over her eyes. She wore a tan pair of shorts that brought out her toned and formed body. Her boots came half way up her shins. She finished her outfit with a green sleeveless turtle neck sweater. To best describe her almost same outfit for years would be more tight, less clothe.
As he stood Yuffie, Donald, and goofy appeared from the darkening forest as if they had just emerged form the shadows themselves. Sora still in amazement couldn't believe his eyes, but in Yuffie's case she was doing everything in her power to keep from completely doubling over in laughter.
Looking around Sora noticed how dark it was getting and he remembered Donald made a note when they first got in the forest after chasing Pluto never to travel at night because you never know what lives in these woods.
"Man it sure got dark fast uh guys" Sora looked at Donald waiting for an explanation.
"What are you talking about Sora the three of us have been talking for almost 8 hours"
"What are you talking about you guys have only been gone for 30 minutes not 8 hours besides what could you talk about for 8 hours.
"You" whispered Yuffie.
"Then what you guys told me about Sora is true…" in a voice that almost no one could hear.
"Well of course why would we make that stuff up? do you think I get my jollies off of making you worry?" scolded Donald as he trudged over to Sora.
"Its just that I didn't want to believe you that's all and if you say it's true than everything that is happening now is going to get 10 times worse." Yuffie now in almost complete disbelief.
"Hey what are you guys talking about, I don't get it, why are things going to get 10 times worse? we sealed kingdom hearts remember, and even if the heartless are back I can still take every single one out with my keyblade…." As he spoke he reached in his pocket to pull out a key chain…
" What's going on here, why can't I remember what I'm pulling out? What is it, what is it I want…"
Sora now frantic starts to reach in all his pockets. " She give it to me but what did she give me … I cant remember…"
"Who is she..?"
"Why cant I remember what she looks like or the way she talks….."
"WHO IS SHE!!!"
"SORA" Goofy, Donald, and Yuffie all run to Sora but with out warning Sora drops to his knees his eyes divide of their normally brilliant blueness and were now taking over by a slight hue of gray and blue.
"Who…who.. Are you and why are you…you…. so…... so…. beau…. beautif…beautiful…..?" as the words bled from his mouth his body shook violently and sent his head to the ground leaving him a lifeless and weathered frame of a hero.
"SORA!!" the three other screamed
"Whathappenedwhatdowedocanwedoanythingsorawakeupcomeonsoradontdothistomecomeonthegreatherosoragivingintosomethinghedosntevenknow"
"DONALD CALM DOWN!!"
"IamcalmlookatmeI'mcalmdonttellmeimnotcalmimcalmtrustmeiknowhenimcalminthisiscalmhaveyoueverseenmefreakoutsoyesimcalmclmasapinnapleandtrustmethatscalmascalmcangetsoimcalmyescalm"
"What do ya think we should do, Sora there is not looking too good and gowsh I'm not gonna let him die here!"
"He's not going to die" Yuffie now leaning over Sora checking his heart and pulse
"He's fine, really cold but he o.k."
"whatdoyoumeanhefinedidujustseehimhewentblahandpastoutblahhewentblahyesblahnowaititwasmorelikeblehnoorahehnoitwasdefinitelyablah"
"DOANLD!!!" Yuffie and Goofy now trying to get their bird friend under control
"We need to get him out of here" Yuffie ordered
"yesofcoursebutwaitwedontknowwhatsinthesewoodsstrangeandunknownthingsliveinthesewoodsyesbutforsoraiwouldravelthroughanyforestunderanyseaandeventhroughthedarkestofdarkyesbutthesewoodswecanttrustthesewoodswouldyoutrustthesewoodsiwouldntnosirIwouldn'thaveyoulostyourmindgoingnowissuicideyes
"DOANLD GET A GRIP MAN I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD YOU JUST SAID!!!" a now very annoyed Yuffie huffed
"isaidthatididnt
"Shut up you damn feather brain" scrammed Yuffie.
"I'm sorry it's just that you needed to get a grip are you o.k. Now?"
"yesimjustfinethankyou"
"uugh well anyway we need to get him out of here Goofy grab him" ordered Yuffie.
"Whada there planning to do" Goofy fumbling over his words as he picked up Sora.
"There is a town called Shady Moon about a day and a half walk away from here that's where aerith and squall is."
"adayinhalfwalkthatscrazy"
"I hope you guys are well conditioned because were not gonna stop running tell we get there. If we don't stop running we can get there a little after sun up."
"Um Yuffie I dint use conditioner and we haven't taking a good shower in a long time.."
"You big idiot conditioning is stamina, but how well you do in the last couple minutes or seconds and that is where it always counts"
"o.k.sowhendoweleavethesoonerwegettherethebetter"
As Donald was speaking a hundred miles an hour all three of them turned to Sora as he started mumble
"Here I am come get me….. I'm here…here.." almost horrifyingly the words crept from Sora mouth
Just as Yuffie was about to open her mouth something else felt it had to add its 2 cents in. the scream was almost deafening as it tore through the air and seemed to just cut thro the trees. The scream awoke a pure virgin terror in all 3 of them.
"whatwasthat"
"Goofy grab Sora"
" NOW DAMMIT!!"
"WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Yuffie ninja coolness was failing her as another scream ripped threw them
"I really hope it doesn't keep doing that, whatever that damn thing is" While Yuffie waited for Goofy to pick up Sora she almost took off running when the scream was now even closer.
"Im here….here…"
"Come on now their Sora whada there talking bout I know where ya are."
"Lets go!!"
With another scream they took off running hearing more and more screams. The faster they ran the louder it got and the more of them they heard. In a dead sprint they weaved through trees and over rocks stopping for nothing and Yuffie leading the group, with goofy in the middle caring Sora over his shoulder , and Donald following suite. All of them having their weapons drawn ready for anything except for another scream. Yuffie leapt over rocks with her giant ninja star ready, Goofy plowed right through the rocks with his shield drawn, and Donald trailed right behind Goofy. Every scream they heard made them run even faster, every time it was a little closer they pushed a little harder.
"DON'T STOP TILL YOU GET TO SHADY MOON!!!"

All right one chapter down many, many more to go. So fill me in by review I'm planning on writing this with ideas from the reviews so if you give me your feed back and ideas there's a good chance I will put it in. I also love critism I feel that it helps make not just a better person but better stories and other things so critism is very welcome and I'm not afraid of flames if you don't like then tell me you don't like but if you don't like tell me why.
