Yay i finally updated! ok thanks to MASTER SEPHORITH, who was the only person to actually give me a charecter, whom is Barkley. thanks to the 5 ppl who reviewed! I NEED MORE THAN 5!

DISCLAMER i do not own Kingdom hearts or Barkley, Square Enix and Master Sephorith do.

The first thing Leon did was stare at me like I was crazy. "Um… yeah…hi" was the only thing that came to mind for me. Then Yuffie asked " Who is— OH MY GOD KAIRI!" and gave me the most suffocating hug I have EVER received. I walked into the Vacant House and saw a kid that looked exactly like Sora… but soon found out who it was

"SORA!" I yelled as I ran up to the boy and hugged him " What happened to you?" I asked… only to have the boy fall over, turn around, and stare at me like I was crazy. He said, with a very embarrassed look on his face, " Um… my name is Barkley… not Sora… um… yeah… hi" I was shocked. first I turned red, then I felt tears in my eyes. I had wished so much for him… but only to be tormented like this…

Barkley was, well, kinda cute… He had on a white tee shirt, baggy tan shorts, and had a necklace like Sora's except with a dog tag where the crown was. His hair, like Sora's was brownand spikey,and he, unlike Sora, had bright green eyes, with a scar going across one cheek. Although he may be kinda cute… Sora was cuter…

Smooth Kairi, this should teach you about going and hugging everyone you see who looks like Sora. For a redhead, you can really be blonde sometimes. I thought as I
sat down on the bed next to Leon.

So…" I told him " I just decided to stop by and purchase any necessary items/weapons that I might need for my journey." "What journey" he asked. " I miss Sora. I think I just may find him if I search hard enough, and also--" "Aaw! How cute, teen loooove" Yuffie said in a sing-songy voice. I could hardly keep myself from looking like an over ripe tomato. " Oh, shut up Yuffie," I said " Now… what was I saying? Oh, right, before I left, I was told by an angel that I, like my mother, am the Mage of Light, and I need to find a 'Staff of Crimson' somewhere…"

At that piece of information, Barkley suddenly stood up. I forgot he was even there! " The Staff… of Crimson?" he said( I think to himself) " Kairi, can I accompany you on your journey?" he suddenly asked.

oooh a cliffie! what will Kairi say? Why would he want to come with kairi? DONT FORGET TO REVIEW! this chapter is dedicated to Kingdom219, who put me on their story alert! yay!
