A/N: Thanks for the reviews from both chapters, snaps to all those who reviewed! Anyways I guess I'll update because that's what you really want…

Oh yea and for those of you who have played far into Kingdom Hearts, they're in the part of the game after Neverland before Sora meets up with the Beast at Rising Falls. You know the scene where Riku steals Sora's keyblade…that's the point in the game…

I looked out the small window on Sora's Gummi ship. I wasn't quite sure where exactly we were going, but I knew we had a good chance of finding our friends there. I had forgotten how much I missed Gippal, last time I saw him we had been fighting. He was mad at me for flirting with some of the other guys a Djose. I swear it was completely innocent, but Gippal is kind of possessive. Anyways you get the picture.

"We're here! Welcome to Hallow Bastion! Watch your step; we're in a part called the Rising Falls." Sora's voice boomed over the Gummi's intercom. Paine stood up from the lounge chair she had been sitting in and Tidus woke up from his nap with a jolt.

"Mayday! Mayday! Man overboard!" Tidus started running around the ship frantically screaming after being awaken from his nap. I wondered what kind of dream he had been having. Sora and I burst out laughing and Paine rolled her eyes.

"If we don't hurry up Yuna will be gone by the time we get there." Paine took a piece of paper she had been furiously writing on the whole ride and motioned for us to exit the ship. I followed her and Sora was in tow. Tidus eventually snapped out of his dream-state and ran after us asking for us to wait up.

"Wow." I breathed at the sight of the beautifully intimidating Rising Falls. There were several rocks which Sora started jumping onto, he paused; waiting for us to follow his lead. I looked at the long distance he had just leaped with ease.

"You go first." I pushed Paine in front of me and she jumped over to the floating rocks with ease too. I took a deep breath and plunged. I found myself laying face first on the next rock. Paine was almost smiling and me and when I looked up she put up her front and rolled her eyes.

Eventually we made our way to larger area with an archway. A boy was standing there with his back facing us.

"So you've finally arrived. Took you long enough. You were also the slower one Sora. If I do recall the score back on the island was 2 to 17?" The boy's back remained to us and I cringed at the sound of his voice. How did he and Sora know each other?

"Riku? Where's Kairi! I know you have her!" Sora's voice was filled with a mixture of sorrow and anger. I shifted nervously feeling a bit like a third-wheel.

"Kairi is safe here, no thanks to you. I have powers strong enough to save her, no thanks to you. The only thing you've done is get in the way." The boy sneered at Sora and then turned around. I couldn't help it, I gasped. He had dark blue eyes and slivery blue hair. His arms were very defined and he was about three inches taller then me. I thought he looked a little younger then me but only a year or two maximum.

"Riku please!" I snapped my head in Sora's direction at the sound of my name.

"What?" "What?" we both asked him simultaneously. Riku looked at me and narrowed his eyes. Then he looked at Paine and Tidus with a similar expression.

"Who are they." He asked Sora as he gestured at our little group. Paine turned her back to the situation.

"They're looking for their friends too. They aren't from this world. They don't know how they got here. We're traveling together and helping each other out." Sora answered bluntly.

"You," the boy walked up close to me and looked down on my face, "what's your name?"

"Rikku," I smiled at him my happiest grin, "what's yours?" His face softened up for a minute and then it stiffened.

"Riku." he snapped at me. He turned around and threw his hands up in the air. "You know what Sora I'm tired of dealing with you. I don't even know why you got that key, you don't know how to use the power it posses!" Riku turned around and looked at Sora with a look of lost friendship and pure hatred.

Tidus elbowed me in the side and whispered, "Do you think they'll be done soon? I want to keep looking for Yuna."

"Just keep it down, I have this feeling something important is about to happen. Something to do with that giant key." I whispered back to him. Then Paine handed me the a piece of the paper she had been writing on all day, I read what it said and Tidus read over my shoulder.

What we know: Questions:

Brother's Pizza Name badge

Key key's powers

Heartless Kairi and Riku

Yuna, Gippal, Baralai, Wakkamissing

Chinese delivery

I noticed this was only a small fraction of the papaer she had been writing on. This was kind of boring but I figured I should say something about it to her anyways.

"Paine I never knew you were organized like this!" I giggled. Then I felt four sets of eyes fixated on me. Sora and Riku had just been fighting with each other and now Riku was holding Sora's key. I was slightly confused and Paine snatched the paper out of my hands and tore it to pieces. That was more then slightly weird.

"Did I miss anything?" I asked timidly. Paine gave me her famous eye-roll and Tidus contained a snicker. Riku looked completely ticked off and Sora was standing in front of me dumbfounded. I blushed turning reder then Paine's eyes.

I sighed and just waited for the embarrassment to be over.Suddenly Riku got a weird look in his eyes. He butis hands in front of him and swirled the key around creating a dark portal.He stepped into it and I heard him laugh slightly before he disappeared into the darkness. The black gas of the portal reminded me the gas that had engulfed us the other night.

About 15 minutes later

"Sora do you have any idea to where we're going?" I wiped the sweat off my forehead from fighting the heartless mainly solo. Sora was useless without the key andwith the wooden sword he was trying to fight with. Paine was still getting the hang of fighting with a wooden rod and Tidus was quickly out of ammo for his small handgun. That left almost all of the heartless up to me to fight.

"I told you once and I'll tell you again I've never been here before. But Kairi is here, I know it…I can feel it in my heart." Sorasounded very poetic for a brief moment. I giggled.

"That has to be the corniest thing I've heard all day." I put a hand over my mouth to try to stop myself from my giggle fit but it only got worse. Tidus saw me and burst out laughing too. Paine tapped her foot impatiently. I'm not sure why I found it so amusing...but I guess since we were all so tense I needed some way to relived some of the stress. Laughter is the bect medicine.

"You two if you ever want to find Yuna and Gippal I suggest we get a move on it." Paine started off and Sora followed closely. Tidus and I finally got over our giggle fit and ran to catch up.

"Hey look footprints!" I pointed at some black circular traces on the marble floor. Paine knelt down and closely examined the prints.

"Whoever…whatever…made these wasn't human." She stated bleakly. Sora frowned and Tidus paced back and forth.ThenTidusstuck a finger in the gooey prints.

"Hmm…strange." He commented to himself out loud.

"What's strange?" I asked. Sora and I looked at each other and then back at Tidus.

"This stuff it smells," he scooped some of the goop onto his forefinger and tasted a tiny piece, "and tastes…like soy sauce?" Tidus looked extremely perplexed.

"Soy sauce, like the Chinese delivery woman?" I stated remembering what Tidus had told me earlier.

"Exactly! Let's follow these trails!" Sora began running foreword on the never ending trail of prints and the rest of us followed. Something inside told me it couldn't be this easy, if these people went through all of the trouble of getting us here in the first place maybe they were just setting some sort of trap.

"This feels like a trap." Paine said as she walked passed me, I nodded in grave agreement.

"But what other choice do we have? This might be the only way we can save them." Tidus shouted from way in front of us. Gradually I fell behind the others and I could feel myself thinking constantly about Gippal. I wondered what I would say when I found him again, maybe I wouldn't say anything at all. I wondered if just like I was thinking and worrying about him maybe he was somewhere thinking the same of me.

My thoughts were disrupted when a gloved hand covered my mouth. Out of shock I wanted to scream but something inside told me not to. I noticed the others were far ahead of me and had no idea I had someone behind me. I struggled a little bit with no success.

"You are coming with me. Don't worry I won't hurt you. As for your friends, come with me and I might be able to guaranty their safety." I immediately recognized the voice…it was Riku's.

A/n: so yes Rikku is getting kipnapped by Riku. Why, well that's soon to come…and all those other burning questions will be answered…later on…as for now I'm going to see whats on HBO and finish my Lord of the Flies essay for English. So please review and I'll update sooner…inspire me, lol…
