CHAPTER 2

It was the next day in Hollow bastion. Sharkira was exploring again and kept getting lost. Riku was getting to know the heartless. ( Ya know cap'n hook, ogooie boogie.) Ansem was getting annoyed that Maleificent kept telling him that his daughter was lost again.

"That little brat is most likely lost again." Hook said.

Riku looked at him, obviously she did this often. "Hmmm, the young princess is always running off." Said hades.

"How come she's alway's getting lost?" Riku asked. "It's the fith time today if she is?"

"Why don't you ask her yourself?" Maleificent asked him walking i from the back of the room. "She might still be in the libary." The witch smiled.

Riku chose to ask her. If he didn't then it would play on his mind.

He walked down to the door of the libary and heard a noise from inside. Slowly opening the door he was surprised at what he saw. Dominos, hundreds of them, all lined out on the floor. Well not only on the floor. Who ever had done this was quite good at it. There were name's spelled out, domino's gong up stair's in obsticle courses, over books and shelves!

And in the middle of the floor was Sharkira setting them all up.

He watched as she ran from place to place setting them up. At last she looked up and saw Riku standing there. "Hi." She said forgetting the domino's. "Wanna help me set 'em up?" She asked.

"Sure." He replied dancing around them carefull not to knock them over. Kneeling down next to her and grabbing some domino's he also started setting them up.

An hour or two must've passed, and they were finally finished. "It look's even better at the top of the stairs." Sharkira said grabbing his hand and taking him to the upper floor where there were... More domino's!

She walked to the door where she pushed them over. One after another the domino's fell. Once they were out of sight's eye on the top floor she ran to the balcony and looked over. From an hight it looked even better! The domino's made all kind's of pattern's and pictures.

When all the domino's were knocked over it took the boring part. Cleaning them all up!

"Oh well! Now just to tidy 'em up!" Sharkira said running over to a big box in the corner of the room. It took some time to realise that she was only picking up the one's with three dot's on them.

"Wouldn't it be easier to pick them all up in one big hanfull?" Riku asked her picking up a handfull.

Sharkira looked at him. "This is also part of the game!" She said putting the domino's she had collected in a pile. "But I usally don't have anyone else to play with. The idea is to pick up the domino's with the same number on them. The one who get's the most win's! You start off with three and move on from there."

"Why not start off from one?" Riku asked picking up as many three's he could find.

"I only have three one's and four two's." She explained picking up another domino.

"So even tidying up's fun." Riku said. "But everyone always say's your running off."

Sharkira ran over to another section. "I am. But if I'm told not to explore then I play domino's or do something else."

Riku picked up a handfull of domino's and started looking for three's. "Why are you alway's running off?" He asked her.

"Because I like looking for new places. And I like going outside... But... I'm scared of the dark, so I get scared."

Riku looked at her for a minuite. She was scared of the dark. This whole castle was dark. Only outside and in here the sun shone.

Deciding to change the subject he picked up another domino and started talking about his island.

The game had lasted six hours at the least. Now all the domino's had been put away. (Just in case your wondering Riku won.)

'Who ever thought that tidying could be fun.' Riku thought amazed. He was taken from his thoughts when Sharkira spoke.

"Thank you for playing with me." She said. Just then Ansem walked in. "Hi daddy!" Sharkira shouted.

Ansem looked down at his daughter. "So this is where you have been?" Ansem asked her.

"Yup!"

"Haven't been breaking anymore windows?"

"Nope! I've just been here playing domino's with Riku." The young child said her blonde hair falling into her eyes.

Ansem looked at Riku. "Thank you for keeping her out of trouble." Ansem thanked him.

"No problem. She's not as bad as Sora." Riku said. But remembering Sora made him sad to think that he didn't know what had become of his friends. But he had a mision now. And that was to find them.
