Sorry, mid terms are right around the corner, this Monday in fact! Less then 2 days away, so, my writing is kind of on a halt. By the way, this is going to give a hint to a new story I'm trying to type out. About Sora's past, no more hints!

Chapter 12

Tidus scratched his head.

"Okay, NOW where do we go?" He demanded. Riku and Kairi sighed.

"Admit it Tidus, you're lost." Riku said dully.

"I am NOT lost! I just don't know where we are, that's all!" He chuckled. Riku shook his head, they had gotten agitated, and walked through a random mirror, now they were located in some odd . . . . castle place. Standing in a large hallway, the walls were lined with marble blocks that held some glowing crystals on the top of them. Tidus scowled.

"This place is getting to me." Without thinking he walked up to the crystal.

"I mean, what is this supposed to be?" He read the writing engraved into the stone.

'Here lies the memory of Kai. 4 year old brother to Sarah Mosuke and son to John and Sally Mosuke. Kidnapped over 12 years ago.' Tidus stared. Then he stumbled back.

"What is this?! A graveyard?!" He demanded. Kairi shook her head.

"I don't think so . . . . hey . . . . why is that crystal suddenly glowing?" Riku stared, the crystal on the block which Tidus had been reading just a moment ago, was now shining a bright blue. Tidus walked up. Then touched the crystal softly, a small vision sprung up from the crystal.

~ Vision ~

"Saora!" The child cried, laughing happily. Light golden wisps of wavy hair fell over his face as his ran up to the girl, bright blue eyes shone with mischief and a silver necklace much to large for him dangled inside his shirt. The girl bent forward, light brown hair fell over her shoulder in a thick braid. Her deep green eyes sparkling as she picked him up.

"Saora! Saora!" The child cried out as he reached her and laughed. She bent to pick him up.

"It's Sarah, Kai." She smiled. "So, what do you want to do today?" Kai laughed.

"I want to go play with the dogs!!" He whooped out. Sarah Mosuke laughed.

"Okay Kai. Let's go play with the dogs in the palace kennel."

~ End ~

The vision blanked out, and formed a new one, much like a window, small boxes shaped like buttons appeared.

Tidus stared at it.

"What is this?! A movie clip?!" He demanded. Kairi stepped up.

"He looks familiar . ." She stared a bit, then pushed on the button which read 'Next vision'

~ Vision ~

The child named Kai ran on, he was a little taller now, and his hair had started to become streaked with brown.

"Master Kai! Slow down!" A voice called. The child obeyed, thought a little grudgingly. Turning, he smiled at the new comer, long and thins strands of silky raven hair fell over his shoulders, his eyes were a gentle crimson, and his black clothed body was covered with a red cloak.

"Master Kai, you shouldn't run off like that." The man scolded gently.

"C'mon Vincy! It's fun!" The man sighed.

"Master Kai, my name is Vincent." Kai laughed.

"Vincy! Vincy! Vincy!!" Vincent Valentine sighed.

"Master Kai, you know very well that you shouldn't run off! As heir to the kingdom, it could put you in great danger."

"Heir?" Kai murmured slightly confused. Vincent nodded.

"Yes, you are the heir to the throne of this land. One day, you will rule all that you see." Vincent murmured to him in a gentle tone. Kai stared.

"I'll . . . I'll be a ruler? Like Uncle Mickey?" Vincent nodded.

"And it's my job to protect you, as I am your guardian." Kai stared.

"Then . . . . . . . then I'll do my best to be a good ruler!" Kai declared smiling. Vincent rested a hand on Kai's head and smiled.

"I know you will."

The screen reformed again, with more options then before.

Riku touched 'Last vision'

~ Vision ~

There was no sun, or grassy fields this time, they were in the castle, and there was a large storm, streaks of white flashed across the sky.

"Saora! I'm scared!!" Kai cried as he clutched his sister's dress. Vincent stood in front of them.

"I do not like this. This storm is unnatural." He murmured. Sarah clutched her brother to her tightly.

"It's okay Kai, everything will be alright." Vincent nodded.

"There's nothing to be scared of, why don't we go inside and try that new game Master Kai?" he offered. Kai sniffled a bit, but nodded. They opened the oak doors behind them and stepped inside. Kai ran in first.

"I want to be the knight!" He cried out laughing, he vanished into the next room. Sarah smiled and was about to follow when a shriek sounded, one of great fear.

"Kai!!" Sarah screamed and dashed after him.

"Master!" Vincent shouted as he too ran into the room. As they entered the room, Kai was there, on the ground and bleeding, not from a fall, but from a cut.

"Kai?! KAI! Please, wake up!" His sister sobbed as she kneeled by him. Vincent by her side.

"Master Kai . . ." A great wind blew through the room, knocking the both of them over and turning out all the lights. The last thing to be seen, was a dark figure jumping out the suddenly open window . . . . and vanishing. When the lights returned, shouting could be heard, and the doors suddenly slammed open, only to the horror of finding Sarah on the ground, and Vincent leaning against the wall unconscious.

Riku was silent. Kairi was shocked, and Tidus was in awe.

"S-so, this heir, he vanished? Without a trace?!"

"That is correct." A calm voice declared suddenly. The three turned while drawing their weapons, and froze upon seeing the figure in the doorway. He held his hands up and said carefully.

"It's alright. I won't hurt you, you can keep your weapons up if you wish." He declared.

" . . . . . . . . It's Vincent right?" Kairi asked softly. He nodded.

"Vincent Valentine. The man who failed to protect Master Kai." He said sadly. "And who are you? What are you doing in this castle?" Riku stepped forward.

"I'm Riku, that's Kairi, and the moron with the sheath in his hand is Tidus." Tidus glared, then suddenly realized, that instead of grabbing his sword, he had grabbed the sheath, he flushed heavily. Grabbing his sword he resumed his glare at Vincent.

"A pleasure."

"What was that thing?" Kairi asked carefully. He looked her in the eye, and she shivered, there was no end to his eyes, they were boundless.

"That crystal is a memory crystal, it records memories and can even store them for long periods of time." Kairi stared.

"So then, that was all a-?"

"Memory? Yes." Riku scowled.

"Did you ever catch the man who did this?" Vincent stared, then his face hardened.

"We only saw him once, and he admitted to the crime. He said his name was Ansem."

Disclaimer: Not mine, I do not own anything but plot. Kai, Sarah and that's it I think.
