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: Thank you, Sarah the Slayer and Riku Rox. Sorry for taking so long to update, here you go!

Caim and Riku followed Ping through a maze of alleyways until they reached their destination, the palace courtyard.
They stepped out of their hiding place to an exotic world. Women and men in gorgeous gowns stood and watched a streaming parade of beauty. Acrobats in red capes and gaunt soldiers trailed behind a magnificent scarlet dragon.
"Well, where is he?" Riku asked, his crystalline voice trailing irritation. Ping eyed the blonde, this time with no emotion showing and gestured. "Follow." he said. They scurried down the courtyard until they were in front of the staircase to the palace.
The red serpent had stopped, fully up the staircase. A soldier in red knelt in front of an imperial man in yellow. Before he could begin his speech, however, something dreadful happened.
A stream of dark creatures-Heartless, Caim remembered- pounced upon the gathering and swiftly annihilated anyone unarmed. Caim and Riku drew Consequence and Nova and Ping retrieved a sword of his own. Consequence, the curved red blade hummed with blood lust while Nova glittered with a lethal, star-like light.
Caim swung her spear at sinister shadow, while Riku hacked at a nearby Heartless. Ping, however, ran up the palace stair and called to the out-worlders, "To the imperial dwelling! It's the only place that will last!" Caim tucked a dark braid behind her hair while Riku leisurely strode up the stairs. He seemed so able to be calm while Caim screamed with battle fury when it came to a fight.
The brother and sister ran into the castle and stood there, panting. A single Heartless seemed to be ignoring the feast of violence, and ran to a balcony that towered over the courtyard. "Stop it!" Ping shouted, and pursued it. Riku and Caim followed, just in time to see the shadow slip into a key-like opening. Instantly a flood of darkness enveloped everything.

Caim was in eternal blackness again. Riku was gone, no Kairi, and she hadn't seen Sora for so long... Overcome by self pity, she began to weep, gasping as each piercing sob racked her body. On and on she seemed to cry, her tears and sorrow pooling together and seeming to enhance the darkness.
Just as she began to question the point of living, Caim felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up, startled, and whispered, "Sora?" He said, with the slightest of breaths, "Don't let go of Riku." She nodded fiercely, and Sora began to fade. Just as he left he added, "I miss you too."

Caim woke with a delighted gasp and looked around, seeing Riku again. She sighed with relief and noticed a deathly looking woman looming over them.
Riku sat up and said, "What do you want?" "My, my, what lovely manners." she retorted, waving a black and green staff. "I am Maleficent, and I have a worthy offer for you." "What is it?" Caim growled. Both she and Riku felt the darkness cascading in waves off of the black gowned woman's being. "I am to have several errands from you." Caim glared, and realised with only slight shock her pink lips were parted in a snarl.
Maleficent studied the girl coldly. There was something almost feline about her, with those furious green eyes, bun and braids framing her round face. The boy was handsome but strong, his blue eyes striking her with malevolence. The girl only radiated good will, so she dismissed her use, and it dawned on Maleficent that Riku had great potential for good or evil.
"And in return I will reunite you with your dear friend." the witch waved, and an image of a red headed girl appeared. "Kairi!" both Caim and Riku gasped, and were immediately rapt with attention. "What do you want us to do?" Riku asked. "You," she said, pointing to the blond sibling, "Are to be my apprentice. You," she continued, gesturing towards Caim, "Will be apprenticed to a man named Captain Hook." "I don't buy it." Caim barked. "If we refuse?" "I will put you in a location where you are sure to prosper, and never have to see me again." Maleficent replied. Of course, no one escaped her, Caim would simply be dropped off at the Coliseum where Hades would corrupt her.
Riku chose to speak up. "I accept." "No, Riku!" Caim shouted. "You don't even care about her!" he shot back, turning to face her. "How can we help Kairi by serving her?!" she screamed. "They have her!" he bellowed. "Even if she keeps true to her bargain, does Kairi look ready for rescue? They wouldn't let us go!"she yelled back, almost at shreiking point. Maleficent was startled that the youth had figured out her plan. She was a sharp one.
"If you are against this descision, leave." Maleficent broke in. "Let the boy decide for himself." Caim wailed with sorrow and frustration as a black portal sucked her into it's murky depths.

Sora was unable to sleep, tossing and turning on the Red Room's bed. He felt frantic, since he was departing for Wonderland tomorrow, but slumber would not come. He had seen Caim again, only for a few fleeting moments, but then a strange, girl-like thing had come and asked him, "Do you want to see her?" she had asked. "Of course!" he answered. "Then draw her in." was her reply. Now he was sleepless and missing his friend.

Yuffie prowled Traverse Town's alley, unable to sleep with her usual bed, which was also occupied with Aerith and Leon. She hated having to make room so Sora, Donald and Goofy would all have their own beds. Her eyes widened as she saw a girl stirring from the scummy alley sewage water. Not even bums would sleep in that.
Further surprising her, the girl drew a beautiful blue spear and charged at her. She caught her in a vicous uppercut to her chin and yelled, "Where's Sora?" Yuffie jumped backwards and upwards, but the girl clad in green and black leaped upwards into the air also and pointed her weapon downwards. She landed on top of her, spearpoint at her throat. Yuffie gulped as she realized the girl could have just killed her. "Where's Sora?!" the girl shouted. "I know, I know!" Yuffie said, a bit louder than she had meant to. "Take me." the lancer barked, and the "great ninja" Yuffie was in no mood to disobey.
