Why would you think I own Kingdom Hearts, you sick moron? I don't!
Description: Don't you think the game was a little harsh on Riku? What if he had a sibling? No, I am not copying other fics. His sister plays a bigger role than you think...
Author's Note: I hope you can guess Caim's fighting style from this chapter.

"Kairi, don't do this again..." Sora called in exasperation as she turned to face Caim, waves lapping at her feet. "I can do this," she retorted, "at least I try." Selphie raised her arm dramatically from her safe place on the dock and yelled, "Begin!"
Kairi studied her opponent more intensely than she had ever before as Caim rushed toward her. Dark green eyes, long , black hair, which was in an intricate bun that was dripping with braids. Green shorts with black leggings covered her legs and a short-sleeved black turtleneck was her choice in clothing. Her shoes were black sneakers and well worn green gloves covered her hands.
She was snapped out of her observations when Caim swung with her four-foot branch. Kairi ducked, slid under Caim's "rod", and struck upwards with her baton, aiming for her jaw. She blocked just in time, and shoved Kairi away. She jumped higher than even Wakka could, and brought herself down in front of Kairi, startling her so much she jumped away. Caim smiled with satisfaction when she saw Kairi's guard was down, and swung with all her might this time, hitting her square in her exposed stomach. Kairi, furious, struck Caim with her baton repeatedly until she fell down. Caim lay there for a moment, and as Selphie called out, "Win-" she swept Kairi onto the beach sand as she forced herself aloft. Kairi got up slowly, so Caim took the opportunity to ask, "Surrender?" Kairi pointed at her stomach. "Fine." she gasped. Caim glanced her midriff and flinched, noticing she had left Kairi with a large bruise.
Riku observed that the fight was done so he jumped from his spot on the bridge and strode to the pair. "Please don't beat up my sister, Kairi," he joked, "she might not recover." Kairi's eyes widened as she realized he was trying to be funny, and shouted, "Sora, did you hear that?" He, in the same amount of awe, nodded. Riku noticed how awkward the situation was and said, "I have a proposition. Why don't we all build a raft and try to see the rest of the world, or perhaps a new one?" "Hmmm... If we go to another world, what if the other inhabitants aren't friendly? Or they don't breathe the same kind of air and we all suffocate?" Caim asked. "We should take those thing as they come." Kairi exclaimed, apparently excited by the idea. "All who agree, say I!" Sora yelled. Immediately everyone, including Caim, said "I."
Riku gave a rare smile and proclaimed, "It's settled then. Sora, you and me should get the materials. Caim and Kairi, why don't you two get the supplies?" "Sure." stated Sora. "Fine with me." Kairi squeaked. Caim threw her a sharp glance and wondered, Why is she so nervous all of a sudden? as she nodded in agreement.

Riku sent Sora to gather rope and such as he chopped wood. Thwack. He buried his axe in a nearby tree as he considered his sister. Twack. Another swing, more progress. Caim didn't look at alllike him, or his parents,but he was told that their grandparents looked similar. Thwack. Strange, he realized, I've never seen my grandparents. Thwack. Still, he had seen her being born, and there was proof she was no bastard. On this island, keeping the bloodline pure was the utmost importance. Thwack. He would just have to accept his sister as she was. Thwack. He jumped clear of the tree and gave it a steady push from behind, toppling the log over.
He advanced to another tree, and felled it faster than he had the first. As he had learned earlier, concentrating on your current task made it considerably easier. Riku progressed to a third tree, and began to notice that he was running out of energy faster than usual. After his second swing he was unconcious.

He was standing upon an intricately designed platform, staring at three pedestals. On one, rested a sword. Riku strode to it and held the weapon in his hands. Somehow it felt natural and cool against his palms. Abruptly, it vanished, and he turned to face the remaining staff and shield. He eyed the staff with distaste, and as suddenly as the sword, it disappeared.

Caim jumped in front of Kairi and laid down a seagull's egg, two mushrooms, a bottle of drinking water, and two fish. "Great. Now all we need is another egg, more water, three more 'shrooms, and two more fishes." Kairi stated. "All right. I'll watch over the rest while you go get 'em." Caim said. Sora leaped down to where they stood and dropped a log, a length of rope, and a sailing cloth. "Yay! We're almost done!" Kairi exclaimed, and walked away in search of the remaining supplies.
Caim sat down against the doorway. "Sora?" she asked eyeing him catiously. "Yes?" he returned. He noticed that her voice was deeper than Kairi's, but still sounded nice, like a girl's should. "When we go to the other world, what do you think we will find?" Sora tried to shoulder off the subject with, "I'm sure we'll be fine. If there are so many world's out there, what are the odds it'll be bad?" "Yeah. You're right Sora. When you think so much, it's too easy to get frightened." Caim sighed. Sora reacted by doing the first thing that ocurred to him, without even considering if it would be awkward, and patted her on the back. "It'll be all right." he reassured her. "As long as you don't slouch off anymore." she teased, seeming to recover. Sora's eyes widened as he remembered when he had fainted and dreamt the most strange things earlier...
