Warnings: This Fanfiction will contain yaoi/shounen-ai lemon (In later chapters). If the subject matter of male/male relationships offends you do NOT read on any farther.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts. That is property of Disney and Square.
Summary: Same settings (add settings +), same characters (and a few added 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!
Sorry for the update lack, I was at a party…
Just in case you still don't understand… RIKU IS STILL HAVING A FLASH BACK!
I know, I know… You be a thinking 'Where is the yaoi/shounen-ai LEMON that is promised! Well it's stated 'In later chapters'. Patience precious! I like to take a while before I add in strong relations to create a better atmosphere than 'they know each other and screw'. Yes, you can quote me on all of this.
CHAPTER SIX: Heartless Trials
Far in the depths of Riku's mind the image of Traverse Town began to paint itself the way he had remembered. It was a night fallen town with old buildings made of dark stones or bricks. It had a coarse market smell and carried a theme of blood red rooftops.
"This is it! This is the place Riku!" Sora recognized the world immediately.
"Not much for sight… So where are these creatures you were telling me about?" Riku looked around sharp with The Blade Of Discovery tightly in his grasp.
"Um well we've asked around and it seems that they only linger in the second and third district of this world." Kairi indicated to a small sign that read 'First District'.
"So what are we waiting for! Lets go get 'em!" Riku looked around again hoping for a sign to indicate the direction to the second district.
"I think it's this way!" Sora pointed and began to jog for a large wooden door. Kairi and Riku ran too and when they neared closer to the door they noticed a small sign that read 'Second District'.
"Yeah! This is the way…" Kairi neared closer to the door to open it. Sora and Riku followed close behind her.
The three teens paced quickly through to the Second District.
"Huh? Whoa!" Riku jumped back stunned as a dark creature formed from a small cloud of blackened dust and sparks.
"That's one of the creatures!" Kairi shrieked as Sora quickly slashed at it harshly like a protector to his friends.
Three more creatures appeared from nowhere and quickly Riku and Sora ran in attack. Kairi was lacking a weapon so she stayed back a little, but still wanting to help her friends out she looked around to see if there was anyway she called be of any aid.
Four more of the critters formed just as the other three had been fought off. "Uh! They just keep coming!" Riku kept up his guard and attacked the creatures feverishly.
Just as the two boys fought off the last of the appearing creatures a deep hollow voice called out to them. "Hey! What are you kids doing in the second district!"
"Huh?" All three teens spun around to see a taller male with short brown hair that swayed loosely and grey eyes that shot the hollow to his voice.
Riku stepped forward towards the stranger, "Who are you and what's wrong with being in the second district?"
"My name is Squall Leonhart and I'll explain later… but please lets all go back to the first district to talk. Okay?" Squall edged towards the door back to the first district. He led the way through and was, as asked, followed by the others.
Once back to the First District, Squall led the three teens to a small pub that had a sign hung over the doorway that read 'Abandon Hope'.
((Ha ha… such a friendly name for a pub… I just thought it was a good name for people who go to pubs to drown in their own misery.))
The four teens sat down on bar stools around a small, round, raised table.
"Uh so anyway… Squall-"
"Call me Leon."
"Uh…okay… Leon, You were going to tell us about why we shouldn't be about the second district." Riku eyed Squall in a way that demanded answers.
"Because in the second and third district the heartless wonder…"
"The heartless?"
"Those are the creatures you fought. They are pure darkness and have the will to take over hearts. They're after the keyblade and are attracted to it. As long as you bare that blade," He indicated to Sora, "You are victim to the heartless."
"You mean this!" Sora held out the keyblade in shock.
"Yes… That is the keyblade. The keyblade chooses it's master and with it you must seal the keyholes of each world."
Sora gulped. "That sounds dangerous… why did the keyblade pick me?"
"I'm not sure… but it did so please… help the worlds out there." Squall looked at Sora with comfort. That comfort that wouldn't be guessed to ever be seen in such distant eyes.
"Umm. Well alright! I guess I don't have a choice anyway. But I want to help out anyway."
"We'll help you too Sora." Riku placed a hand on Sora's shoulder. "There is nothing you'll ever have to face alone."
