Summary: Same settings, same characters, different story outcome/situation. Sora, Riku, and Kairi set out on adventures past Destiny Islands. Disaster strikes and suddenly Riku's life begins to flash before his eyes.
In sense, this is also suggesting that Riku never had his heart taken over.

Note: Anything written in double brackets, like such ((words)), is not part of the story!

CHAPTHER ONE: Disaster's Fortune

Blood red. That was the colour. Blood…everywhere. Riku felt himself fall backwards tripping over himself. He landed on the cold stone ground. And still all he could see was blood, his own blood.

What was happening now? Last Riku remembered, Sora and him were battling the strange heartless creatures.

SORA! Oh no, what if Sora was hurt too?!

Riku quickly tried to sit up to look around for Sora. Then he remembered. He was cut deep in the stomach and pain filled his whole body.

Riku wasn't good for seeing anything at the moment. It was like he was blinded, but instead of the black nothingness he saw blood red.

Riku's mind paced quickly, he couldn't think of anything to do. So he simply called out to his best friend, "SORA!"

That sound rang through Sora's ears. He would never forget Riku crying out to him.

"Riku?!" Quickly Sora spun around after killing the last of the heartless that came to attack. Riku was lying on the cold stone ground holding his bleeding middle in pain.

Sora gasped. "Riku!" He ran quickly to his best friend's side and grabbed one of his hands. "Are you okay?! Riku, can you hear me?!"

Riku began to cough. He could feel his lungs grow tighter. He held Sora's hand tightly. Riku would admit that if he were ever scared in his life. Now would be that time.

What was Riku afraid of now? He knew it wasn't just dieing.

"Sora…" He looked at Sora's worried face. Riku was happy to know Sora was safe. Riku wanted to say more. He wanted to say so much more. But he felt a lack of oxygen and it was making it hard to speak. He coughed. "Sora… I…I-"

"Shh. Don't speak." Sora tried to think of what to do. "I'll get help." But Sora had thought that maybe Riku wouldn't want to be left alone and Sora didn't want to leave Riku alone, but he needed help. "Is that okay Riku?"

Was it okay? "No wait." Riku gripped Sora's hand even tighter. "Please Sora. I don't want to die alone."

Sora's eyes grew huge. It was understandable for Riku to think that, but Sora couldn't believe the thought of his best friend dieing period. "Riku! You're not going to die!"

Those were the sweet words that Riku was sure would be the last he'd ever hear.

Then instead of the light tint of blood red the sky was, Riku saw black. Black nothingness. That nothingness he had feared.

Am I dead? Wouldn't I see light if I was dead? I guess I wouldn't know. I never died before.

Images started forming in the black nothingness. It was then that Riku realised he must be unconscious from the blood loss.

What were these images? They were flashing too quickly to tell.

Then it hit him. His life. Riku's life was flashing before his eyes. Just like it was said to… before you die.

The images began to slow down and Riku tried to hitch his eyes on to one. Finally the images stopped completely.

Riku saw clear water that had the slightest hint of aqua, a soft beach of sand, and a dock with small rowboats. Then clearly into view came all of Destiny Islands. He was back home and it was nighttime?

Riku thought that maybe he was back to his islands; that he had lived. Then he realized that the eyes he saw through bared no body. Like a dream when you're watching the event happen from an unknown prospective that doesn't exist. That was exactly what it was like… A dream.

Riku then saw… Himself? Yes it was Sora and him lying in the night sand, looking up into the sky. This was no dream, this had happened. It was back when they were all still home, when they were all still at Destiny Islands.

The End…

…Of chapter one anyway.

I think I might have cut it a bit short, but it was necessary to get the plot flowing. This chapter was kind of boring to write honestly. So I'm not too sure if it was okay to read.
