Meeting
Me- Okay, now to try to keep this story going.
R???- Yeah so start typing.
Me- Yes sir. (salutes)
K????- Ok... I guess I'll do disclaimer. The evil authoress does no own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters that might appear from other animes and stuff but she does own me and she was allowed to use those two. (points)
All- Remember the three R's. Read, Review, Rite!
Hollow Bastion Riku
A silver haired 16 year old, wearing a black hooded jacket with matching black gloves and boots was walking slowly through the library, searching the shelves for the right book. "Come on...where is it?" he asked no one in particular. He continued to search the shelves and sighed with relief as he picked Azal Volume 7 off one of the shelves. "There you are." He said and started walking to another part of the library. He placed the book among the other Azal Volumes and stood back as the shelves moved themselves to reveal a secret passage. He smirked as he stepped into his secret part of the castle.
He stepped out onto a room with maps scattered all over a desk in the middle. The desk was framed by the many different pictures of different worlds that hung all over the walls while a model spaceships, called "gummi ships", dotted the ceiling. He sat down at the desk as he heard the passage close off until he decided to open it again and he began to pore tirelessly over the many maps. He seemed to spend an eternity checking the maps over and over again.
"If I use my warp drive then I can be there in seconds, but I'll be low on fuel..." he thought aloud. "I guess I'll talk to Cid when I arrive," he told himself.
He got up and walked down a hallway that was off to one side of the room. He stepped out of the hallway and into a landing pad like area that had a gummi shop on it ready for launch. He hopped into his ship and blasted off into the space between worlds and hit the warp button on the console. The engine roared as the ship warped to Traverse Town.
He came out of the warp and desperately tried to calm his stomach. He landed the gummi ship and then walked through the world gate. He took a second to look around, spotted Cid's shop, and began walking toward it.
Before I check in with Cid, I better get a room he thought. He turned and walked through the door to the Second District and started walking toward the hotel.
Traverse Town Caleb
A blond 16 year old, wearing long black pants and a long sleeve shirt with a matching black cape, walked the streets in Traverse Town. He looked around at all of the neon lights as he walked.
"Where did he send me?" he wondered as he walked into an Inn and got a room. He walked into the room after paying the attendant and sat down on the bed. He looked up as he heard a deep voice outside of his room. He got up and opened the door to see his older brother talking with the Inn's owner.
"How did you get here?" he asked his brother, stunned.
"I came looking for you," his brother stated as the two shook hands. They walked into the room and talked for an hour before John, his brother, had to leave.
"Sorry, but I've got business to take care of," his brother said before walking out of the Inn.
He got up and started to walk the streets again.
"There's nothing to do," he thought to himself as he turned down another alleyway. "I wonder if anything will ever happen..." he said, bored. He walked through the doors into the first district finding nothing to do in the Second.
Destiny Islands Kyoko
A dark brown 16-year-old wearing short jean shorts with a maroon tank top and black leather gloves watched the sea from her perch on a tree with star-shaped fruit on Destiny Islands. The Sun danced off the waves and reflected in her amber eyes, making them seem to glow. Her eyes flicked away from the ocean for a moment to watch a few of her friends practicing their fighting skills with their favorite weapons. She smiled as they noticed her watching.
"Hey let's go a round!" one of the boys, Tidus, yelled waving his wooden sword around in the air. "Okay, okay," she sighed, sliding off the tree to the ground. "I'll take all of you on." They cheered and surrounded her as she picked up her two wooden swords from their place leaning against a tree. "Let's go!"
Selphie, the only girl in the group, twirled her jump rope in the air and ran forward as Wakka jumped back and got ready to throw his blitzball at her.
"Selphie, don't attack right away!" Tidus yelled as he ran back near Wakka.
"Too late," she yelled lashing out at Selphie and took her out with two swings.
"Aww no fair!" Selphie complained as she dropped to the sand.
Wakka threw his blitzball and she blocked it sending it sailing right back. Wakka barely dodged it but Tidus wasn't so lucky.
"Aww man!" he said and charged, Wakka following behind. She turned around spinning, making the white dragon on the back of her tank top seem to dance. Wakka sent his blitzball at her only to have it sent right back at him like before.
"Aww 3road you gotta be kiddin' me," he said as he sat down on the sand.
"What?!" Tidus wasn't too happy that his friends had just been beaten.
"Only one left...Tidus" she said coming out of her spin to look at him. Tidus charged only to go running away from her as she side stepped out of the way. She hit him in the back as he went by. "That was fun," she said as she twirled her wooden swords. Tidus fell face first into the sand.
"Aww man...not fair."
Selphie and Wakka laughed.
"She got you good ya," Wakka said as he helped Tidus up.
"We better go. It's getting late," Selphie said as she started walking to the boats.
"We'll see you tomorrow ya?" Wakka asked and she nodded.
"Of course." They smiled at each other and then she watched as Selphie, Wakka, and Tidus ran off.
When they were gone she walked into the secret place on the side of the island. She looked around at the cave covered with different drawings, then to the strange door at the back. "I wonder if I could..." she looked at the door and sighed. She walked to one of the not-drawn-on parts of the cave and sat down against the wall. She watched the door with questioning eyes, wondering.
She sighed, standing. "I guess I had better leave," she said as she walked over to the door and put a gloved hand on it. She turned to see darkness seeping through the cracks in the rock. The first sign of the Heartless...she thought. "I'm sorry guys." She said to the wind as the door turned white and opened. She turned back one more time before walking through the door and closing it behind her as Destiny Island was lost to darkness...
Traverse Town
(Okay. Quick note: It will be a little confusing for a little while because I'll be switching back and forth between the characters, so please try to stay with me while I try to write this out.)
Caleb walked through Traverse Town and noticed many new faces. One seemed to stand out more than the others. He was puzzled by this but tried to keep walking. Something triggered in his memory bringing him and the strange person with him into a flash back.
Riku stood there as the flash back ended and looked around to see what had triggered the seemingly random flashback. He stopped when he saw the man that was in his flashbacks.
"I know this may seem odd, but have we met before?"
"You do seem familiar..." Caleb said back to the man from the flashback. He noticed his brother walking by. "Well then, I'll be on my way." he said turning and going after his brother. He wanted to ask him about his father; after all, it had been so many years.
Riku turned and walked toward the Inn. "As will I..." He watched the shadows all the while. When he got to the Inn, he got a room and put up all of his extra items. He looked over them, then walked outside heading for Cid's shop.
A door formed on the side of an alleyway near Cid's shop. It opened slowly and Kyoko stepped out. The door disappeared behind her as she looked around, trying to figure out where she was. She sighed sinking to the ground on the wall as her eyes closed. I used too much energy... she told herself. The world had seemed to go dark as she fell into a deep sleep from lack of strength.
Caleb stayed at the Inn all evening thinking over what his brother had told him about his father: finding out that he had died two years ago wasn't easy to get over. Anger and confusion whirled inside him. I need to find out more about what happened. He decided. He got up and started to go looking for the one person that could answer his questions.
Riku walked out of Cid's shop tired, dazed, and confused. He was going to start heading for the Inn when he heard something in the alley. He decided to check it out so he jumped off of the ledge and onto the ruined boxes into the alley. He looked at the place where he thought he heard the sound and stared. To his confusion, there was a strange girl lying against the alley wall seemingly asleep. "Who are you?" he asked, not completely sure what to do. He noticed that she wasn't responding to his words so he leaned forward and shook the girl. "Hello? Can you hear me? Who are you?" he questioned while trying to get her to wake up.
She tried to grasp her own consciousness, but her fatigued body and mind seemed as though they were falling prey to the darkness and becoming lost forever. She heard a strange but familiar voice trying to reach her from the darkness. She opened her eyes and looked up at the blurry form before her.
"...so tired..." she closed her eyes again resting her head, trying not to lose consciousness.
Caleb ran through Traverse Town looking while still in his confusion. He came upon the man from earlier talking to someone in an alley. He decided to walk over to him. "I think I do know you...Ruki? Kiru? Riru? And who might she be?" he asked pointing to the girl.
Riku looked at him as he tried to go through names. "It's Riku..." he corrected him. "and you are Caleb. And she is...Kyoko." He puzzled himself for a moment trying to figure out how he had known the names. He shook his head and reached into his pocked and pulled out a potion. He used it on Kyoko. "Here, this will help." He turned to Caleb. "Now, how do we know each other?"
Caleb looked at Riku, understanding what his question implied. "I had a flashback. I think we met at...Destiny Islands. How do you know her?" he asked as Kyoko stirred. He reached out a hand to help her up. "Are you gonna be okay?" he asked her worried for her for some reason.
Kyoko looked up at them and took Caleb's offered help. "I'm fine..." She smiled at the two boys. "It's nice to see you again Riku and Caleb." She heard something making her turn worriedly toward the back of the alley. Then she turned to look at the door leading to the Second District. "We had better hurry," she said, her eyes narrowing. "It's happening again..." she muttered.
