DICSCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters and such. They are property of Squaresoft and Disney. However the character Hikari does belong to me.
Ch 1. A Beginning
A/N I know, some people are not fond of fan characters. However Hikari is here to be a new face, a new opponent, maybe a new friend. There is always a need for new characters eventually!
As the breeze blew across Riku's face he thought, all these years he wanted freedom from this island and now he was just happy to be back. Yet as hard as he thought, he couldn't remember why he had wanted to leave in the first place. "It was because of Kairi… she came and I saw that there was more… but still, I feel as if that many just be a part of the reason." he muttered to himself.
"Talking to yourself? You always did do that." a soft , kind voice said in an almost emotional tone from behind him, "Hello Riku."
He turned around his eyes catching site of a girl. Her black pigtails moved as the sea's gentle breeze blew lightly across her pale face. A light jingling noise caught his ears as small beads at the ends of her little braids hit one another. Her grey eyes held tears that were almost ready to flow over her eyelashes and down her slightly pink cheeks. She was clad in a white tank top with a heart with wings shape ripped into the front over a pale yellow tank top. A black skirt accented her curves and black boots accompanied the look along with white and yellow fingerless gloves and a black band around her upper left arm.
Something about this girl seemed so familiar, yet he had no clue who she was, "How do you know me?"
A tear slid down her cheek, "He was right, you have forgotten me, you have forgotten your promise. All for
that girl, Kairi the Seventh Princess of Heart! I hate you!" she screamed at him.
"What?" Riku's voice was almost a whisper as he struggled to remember what she was talking about, "Hikari…" he mumbled then he yelled so she could hear, "Your name! It's Hikari!"
"It is too late Riku! You broke your promise! You lied to me, you forgot! Of course someone as weak as you, someone who couldn't even control his dark side, wouldn't be able to remember!" she sneered at him.
"How do you know that!" Riku cried out, but before he got his answer she was disappearing through a portal made from the darkness.
"We will make you all submit to the darkness! There is darkness in the kindest of hearts!" her voice rang out the last of her faded away. Something caught Riku's eye lying in the sand where Hikari had been. He walked over to it and reached for the item. It was a necklace, made of a simple cord and what looked like half a poupu fruit seed. In the seed was etched Tacd.
As much as Riku hated it, he had to follow her, he had to figure this one out. If the he she mentioned was who he thought it was, they were in danger. He rushed to find Sora to warn him, after all Sora was the Keyblade master.
"Sora, I believe she may have something to do with him." he warned handing Sora the necklace, "She dropped this, you have pals that know about stuff like this. Do what you must, as for me I have my own way to figure this out! Oh and look after Kairi." then he left using a portal like the one Hikari had used.
Sora grabbed the Keyblade and went to Kairi, "We are going Kairi!" he said smiling and grabbing her hand and leading her to where he had a gummi ship hidden. "Okay Sora! We'll all go together! Riku, you, and, I!" she said laughing softly.
"Riku has already left, he is going to figure out who the girl that was here really is. We have to stop Ansem." he said grinning back at her. This time she would be safe, as long as he could protect her.
A/N: Short I know, but I'll do more! I have been simmering this idea for a while now. So go ahead and tell me what you think! Also, yes I'm evil leaving you hanging like this! I may end up writing more like really soon though!
