Rikka's Message: Why hello everyone! Well what did you think of my last chapter. I will be listing to your reviews attentively. Your reviews mean a bunch to me and could change the story in drastic ways.

Honestly I have no clue where the story will go to. I kinda have an idea but that could change.

I would tell you my ideas but that would spoil the story. Well lets get on with the chapter! I don't think you want to listen to me talk about anything in particular.

Story Background: two years ago when the heartless first came, Rena and Sora fought together to find Riku, and Kairi. Unfortunately Riku was locked in Kingdom Hearts and they both got separated from Kairi. After Riku was locked in Kingdom Hearts Sora promised Rena that they would find Riku and they would all go back to Destiny Island their home world. After fighting for over a year they finally got back to their home world. After search for Riku for all that time they both thought that Riku would be back home on Destiny Island. Turned out that there was no trace of Riku back home.

Chapter 2

Found Memories

Memories rushed through my head. They were all my childhood memories, my memories that I had with Riku, and Sora. All these memories were before Kairi came to our Island. I remember the first time we all meet. It was at the cove, right where all the coconut trees were. I remember seeing those two boys wacking the tree with their wooden swords trying to see if a coconut would fall. Sora looked as if he were only five. Riku looked like he was six compared to Sora since he was taller than Sora was. I looked at them both from behind a large rock. I hoped that I wouldn't get noticed by the two boys. After watching them attack the tree for about two minutes one of them finally noticed me. It was Sora who noticed me first. He turned around and waved. Riku turned around to see what Sora was looking at. That was my first glimpse at that boy's face. He didn't wave, but he just looked at me with a blank stare. I was scared to go up to them both so I ran. I ran all the way to the dock at the beach.

'Why did I always have to be a coward?' I thought to myself. I never felt comfortable meeting new people. I sat there for a while like I always watched the waves go by. What I loved about the ocean was that you never could tell what it would do next. I kicked my feet back or forth off the dock.

Then I heard voices in the background. I turned around to see where the voices were coming from. The voices were coming from the two boys from before. Sora was jumping up and down while Riku carried the coconut. Riku placed the coconut on the ground. Sora got out a large rock and started to bang on the coconut so it would break. After countless tries the coconut finally cracked. The two boys shared the coconut. I was still staring at them both. Finally Riku noticed that I was staring at them.

He told Sora something but I could not tell what he was saying. Sora then looked and waved again. I started to wave. Sora came running up to me. He then asked me "Do you want to come over with me and my friend and have some coconut?" I replied with a nod of my head. Sora and I both walked to where Riku was sitting. "I'm Sora." Sora said this to me with a very cheerful voice. "And this is my friend Riku." Riku looked up to me and waved. I smiled at him. "I'm Rena." I smiled even bigger then. "Do you want a coconut?" Riku handed me a medium piece of the coconut.

End of flashback-

The phone then started to ring. I picked up the phone to hear Kairi singing.

"Kairi? Is that you?"

"O Rena I'm sorry. Yes this is Kairi. So anyway I just wanted to chat for a bit that's all. I hope I wasn't interrupting anything."

"O no I was just thinking . . . Well I wanted to ask you something . . . about what happened at lunch."

Did Kairi see me and Sora or something? I was in a panic. What if she thought I liked Sora. "Yes what about the beach?" My voice got a little shaken because I was in a panic.

"Well . . . I kinda walked over to go ask Sora something and I noticed that he well . . . " Kairi was silent for a few seconds.

"Kairi, what you think happened between me and Sora did not happen at all. Sora was comforting me that's all that happened. You should know me by now that I would never do that to you. And Sora loves you and I would never tear you two apart." The other line was still silent. I was wondering if Kairi hung up on me. "Kairi? ... Are you there?" Then I heard Kairi sobbing. "Kairi why are you crying?"

A few seconds later Kairi answered my question "I'm crying because the way Sora was acting with you. He never acts that way when he's with me." I fell silent. I was shocked, but I thought that Sora would be more romantic with Kairi. He told me countless times that he loved her and would do anything he possibly could to make her happy.

"Kairi . . . I don't know what to say." I honestly could not think of anything to help ease her sorrow that she was feeling.

"Rena there's nothing you can do, you can't help it if Sora likes you more than me."

"Kairi that's not true! I told you Sora loves you to death! He risked his life two years ago to save your heart!"

"Then why won't he prove that to me! The only romantic thing he did with me was hold my hand!"

"Kairi, listen why don't you go talk to Sora about this. You need to always confront your problems' head on."

"Rena, I would but . . . I just don't think I'll be able to even look at Sora at the moment. Just give me some time. I want to build up my courage to talk to him at the moment."

"Kairi take your time."

"Thanks Rena, for helping me . . . Rena I have to go now. I think I might go see Sora."

Kairi then hung up on me.

I was happy that Kairi and Sora were both happy together but when I thought about it, it made me feel sad. I felt envy toward Sora and Kairi. I wanted their relationship. I wanted Riku to be here with me.

I looked over at my desk with all my old pictures. There were countless pictures just sitting there waiting to be sorted. For a while, when Sora and I just came back home, I put them all away. I didn't want to remember him. The memories would just bring pain into my life and I was in enough pain.

I later realized that pain is a part of life that will strengthen you. I got off my bed and walked to my desk. I grabbed a pile of the pictures and started to sort through them all. There were pictures form as earlier as when we were all 10. That was when I got my first camera. I sorted them all by year.

There was an old picture of when Kairi and I built a large sand castle. I remembered that Sora and Riku then smashed it when they were sword fighting. Kairi and I got upset we chased them both until we all got tried from running.

I flipped through some more pictures, there was one where I was taking a picture of Sora and then Riku pushed me right when I was taking the picture so it all turned out to be a big blur. I was going to throw it away but I couldn't compel myself to do so. If I had thrown it away, I would've felt like I was just throwing my memories away.

I flipped through my whole stack that I grabbed and I was at the last picture. It was my last picture that I took before the heartless came. It was of Riku sitting on the Paupu tree holding his sword in his left hand. Riku and I would always be together over at that tree, For some reason I always felt relaxed when I was there. Now when I go there all I Feel is sorrow.

I looked at the picture for over half an hour wondering where Riku was. I kept on looking at it then I held the picture up to me. I then started to cry. I wanted him here. At that time I don't think I could've wanted him to be with me as much as then.

I couldn't take it anymore. I had to leave this Destiny Island to find Riku. I didn't know how but I was going to find a way. I grabbed a handful of pictures and stuffed them into my large bag. I grabbed some of my stories that I wrote and stuffed them in my bag also. I made sure that the picture of Riku was in my pocket. I grabbed my jacket and I ran downstairs. All of the sudden I feel someone grabbing my ankle stopping me from walking. I looked down to see Gina. "Gina get off me!" I yelled at her because I was in a hurry to leave. I wanted to leave then and I didn't want anyone to stop me.

"Rena, where are you going so late at night?" Gina sounded concerned.

"Gina just let me go I'll tell you later."

"Rena tell me and I'll let you go." I then started to walk pulling Gina out onto the porch.

"You aren't going to let go are you?" I then sat down with Gina still holding onto my ankle for dear life.

"Gina, I'll tell you as long as you promise me that you won't worry about me. Well I'm leaving, but I'm leaving to fide Riku. I don't know when I'll be back or even if I will come back, but if I do come back I will have Riku with me."

"Rena?"

"Yes?"

"Can I have your room when you're gone?" I then Filled up with anger!

"I can't believe I tell you that I'm leaving and that I might not come back and your response is 'Can I have your room?' Gina you are-"

"Rena I was kidding!" Gena then fell over in laughter. I was still upset with her. "Rena you go out there and you find Riku, I know you will because you are the type of person who will succeed if they believe they can." Gina then came up to me and gave me a hug. "Rena I hope you will decide to come back. Even though you may not know it but, I'm glad to have you as my big sister."

"Gina I hope I will come back also. Gina I'm glad to have you as my little sister. I hope that if I do come back we will be closer than we ever were." I looked down to Gina and I smiled. Gina then let go of me.

"Rena go after your dreams." I nodded and then I walked away from our house. I could see Gina watching all the way until she was unable to see me anymore.

As I ran toward the dock, I had second thoughts about leaving. I thought about what Sora had said to me that day at lunch. What if I wasn't able to come back? What if I would not be able to find Riku? All that searching for nothing. I would not have my friends or my family to comfort me at all. I would be on my own.

I didn't know what to do. I then started to think about Riku. I couldn't think so I ran to the secret place that was just behind the waterfall. I hadn't gone there much any more like many of the places around the island it brought back memories about Riku and brought sorrow to my heart.

I ran to the secret place and I walked inside and sat in the far corner of the far room. I looked at all the pictures that we all drew as children. I then started to cry. I cried until I fell asleep.

I woke up to a bright light. I could hear a soft voice coming from afar. The voice gradually got louder. It didn't sound like it was saying anything it sounded somewhat like it was mumbling something under its breath.

I couldn't tell if the source of the mumbling was a girl or boy. All of the sudden I felt a sharp pain in my back. I tried to scream but my mouth didn't make a sound.

The light turned into the shape of a small child dressed in white. I could faintly tell what the figure was saying it was saying "Dreams, who will save all dreams?" The figure repeated this a number of times. The figure looked down at me laying there wincing from the pain in my back.

It kneeled down and sat next to me. It said to me "I will set you free." I opened my eyes to see the figure holding out their hands to me. I grabbed its hands and the pain was no longer there. That was the last thing I could remember before I passed out.

End Chapter 2

Well what did you think of chapter 2? Well I kinda thought it had to much thinking in there. When the chapter was over Rena told me that her head hurt from all the thoughts that she was thinking. Well I guess I'll make this short because It's late and if my parents se me up I'll get grounded from the computer again.
