Chapter 11:

Big Bro and Lil' Sis

"Isn't she beautiful?" a woman asked.

"Yes, she is..." a man replied.

"What should we name her?"

"Her name bees Zan, Zan!" a bright eyed little boy exclaimed.

"I like it..." the woman whispered.

"Short for Hozannah?' the man asked.

"Perfect, say hi to your new sister Riku, Hozannah."

"Hi h-h-h-h..." the two year old Riku struggled to get the name out and just reverted back to Zan. "Hi Zan!" he cooed.

"Mommy! Riku gots me all wet!" Zan exclaimed moodily glaring at her seven year old brother.

"I didn't mean to!" Riku whined. "It was an accident!" then he put on a sincere sweet face, "I'm sorry Zan."

"Awww, just look at that face. It's so cute!" the mother exclaimed.

"He lies! Sora told him too!" Zan sobbed.

"Riku, is this true?"

He scowled at his five year old sister, "Maybe."

"Riku..." the mother said sternly as Zan started to sniffle.

"Owie! That hurt!" a six year old Zan whined slumping down on the sand, but still holding onto her wooden sword.

"Sorry lil sis..." Riku walked over to her and knelt down beside her.

"That's ok." she looked up at him with an evil grin pasted across her face as she swung her wooden sword and bonked him heavily on the head.

Sora walked up to them, laughing, "You just got beat by a six year old Riku hahahaha!"

"Shut up! I'm a year olderin you, Sora, so I can beat you up if I wanted to." Riku threatened.

Sora quickly backed away. Zan giggled at this.

It was late at night...

"Can I sleep with you?" a seven year old Zan asked her nine year old brother.

"No, go away!" Riku muttered grumpily.

"But I had a bad dream and I'm scared..." Zan pleaded.

Riku sighed as he scooted over, "Oh all right, but this is the last time ok?"

"Ok.." Zan crawled into the bed, "I love you big brother..."

"G'night." he said sleepily, slightly annoyed with her for having woken him up.

When they were each sleeping peacefully, there was suddenly a loud bang and before either of the two young siblings knew what was happening, Zan was hit upside the head and thrown in a bag where she was carried off to who knows where. Riku was knocked unconciouss and left to lie on his bed before he could call for his parents...

Zan...Zan...Zan...

"Zan, Zan, Zan...Are you ok?" Jiro asked.

She blinked in confusion and then realized she was back in the courtyard of the Queen of Hearts, "Sorry...I guess I zoned out..."

"You remember don't you?" Akina asked.

"Huh come again?"

"I said, you remember don't you?" Akina repeated.

"I just saw my childhood flash through my mind if that's what you mean..." Zan replied. "Is it true?"

"Yes..." Riku whispered. He pulled the blindfold from his eyes and let it slide to the ground.

"We look alike..." Zan murmured.

"Kinda sorta makes sense, since we're brother and sister and all don't it?"

"Yeah..." Zan smiled.

"Except for your hair..." Jiro added in.

"Well Jiro, umm...I actually dyed my hair..." Zan said.

"So you look old too when your hairs your natural color?" Jiro asked smiling.

Zan folded her arms, "I don't find that funny, and that's the whole reason for dying my hair brown..."

"I bet it is...Apparently Riku don't care." Akina laughed.

Alice was staring at Riku in shock. "Y-y-y-y-y-y-you! What are you doing back here? Come back to kidnap me I bet."

Riku laughed and shook his head, "No, I'm not that person anymore..."

"I suppose...Or else you'd of done somethin by now 'stead of just standing around talkin."

"Yeah..." Riku replied.

Alice smiled, "Well, ok then..." she looked at the queen (who was still shaking in fear) and smiled, "I should get going, by everyone."

"Bye," they all said.

She soon left.

"So, shouldn't we be leaving now?" Zan asked.

"Well, we have to find the Gummi Ship first, which you crashed..." Riku said, eyeing Zan.

She laughed nervously, "Sorry..."

"Riiiight..."

"Uh Riku, we found it all ready, but I think it's screwed up..." Jiro said.

"What!" Riku yelled.

Zan slowly backed away.

"Uh...Whoops..." was all she could say as she saw him standing there struggling to control his anger and not scream all kinds of profanity at her.

Riku took in a deep breath as he tried to stop shaking, but to no avail.

Jiro and Akina looked at each other in fear as they too back away from him.

"Don't hurt me..." Zan said nervously.

His fist curled into balls and his face became bright red, he was gonna blow.

"Ahhhhhhh get awaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Run for coverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" Jiro yelled, running off.

Akina did the same as Zan tried to, but Riku grabbed her by the arm.

"Hiya Riku!" she said smiling disarmingly trying to lighten mood, but behind that smile she was frozen stiff with fright.

When his grip tightened, so did the fear that clutched her heart, "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP! SOMEONE HELP! GET ME AWAY FROM THIS MADMAN! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!" she then closed her eyes.

The grip suddenly loosened and Riku started laughing. Zan opened one eye, "What's so funny? Aren't you gonna hurt me?"

He only laughed harder, "You should have seen the look on your face! Hahaha, man that was priceless!"

Zan glowered, now she was fuming with anger.

"Never ever do that again, you hear me!"

"Loud and clear," he saluted.

Zan huffed as she stomped off into the forest where Jiro and Akina had apparently ran off to.

Riku just watched her, "Don't get lost."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Zan said.

"You know, there are bloodsuckers in the forest...I'm just warning you...not tryin to scare you or anything..."

Zan shuddered, "Yeah sure, whatever. Yer lyin."

"I'm not seriously, I've seen one before...I was walking in the woods one day, and I saw this huge guy who had his arms wrapped around this girl about your age who was dead and there was blood on her neck and blood on the guys chin..." Riku said.

"JUST SHUT THE HECK UP!" Zan snapped, he was getting to her...

"Ok then," Riku started walking behind her as they headed into the woods to find Jiro, Akina, and the Gummi Ship.
