Hello, my fellow persons! At the moment, I am trying my best to handle the format for which is a shame because I have been lecturing around this site for centuries.

On a note for the characters, Riku and Namine are both one-year apart (Funny isn't it?) to those of you confused on how they are old. So, Riku is sixteen and Namine is fifteen whereas Sora and Roxas are sixteen. Well here is Chapter #2 for our lovely readers.

Roxas: Interesting…considering the fact that nobody is actually reading this fanfiction of yours… And Sora and I are showing up when now? It would be nice to know.

Sora: Yeah! What he said…! -Pouts-

A'R: Touché. You'll show up soon, don't worry guys. Oh I almost forgot! May I have the disclaimer from our lovely blond, Namine? –Walks over and confers business with Roxas & Sora-

Namine: A'R does not own anything of Kingdom Hearts or Square Enix.

Enjoy Chapter #2!

-Namine's P.O.V-

I really hate it when Riku tells me he has "news" and makes me wait. See, the delightful news usually involves someone I know or myself somehow. I love my brother and all but the news doesn't turn out very pretty for either of us. Like, for instance, the time I told Riku that our mom brought us engraved iPods for Christmas. Riku just couldn't wait to see his so he decided to open it up while Mom & Dad went shopping. Of course, he told me to open mine but I declined. I don't like opening Christmas gifts early; it ruins the whole tradition. Anyway, he decided to be "uncanny" about it and decided to open mine up anyhow.

The ironic thing was that our parents walked right in when he handed the iPod to me. Boy, did we get into trouble…well now that I think about it, Riku had more of the punishment but still. For some reason though, this time it could be indulging, but I can't be fooled yet. First I have to find out what it is…

"Riku, come on! Don't do this to me." I asked, pleading with him all the way to school.

"Like I said, you'll have to wait until later." He told me, with his trademark smirk.

"Give a better reason than that, please? You know when you decide to wait around, it usually ends up something bad." I said, hoping that would convince him. Of course, it didn't.

"Well first, I know that obviously but it isn't bad, trust me. And second, we're-" He started to say before I crashed right into a stop sign in front of school. Thank God there weren't any students around.

"here…" He said, looking down at me. Man, that hit was hard on my skull. Why am I so clumsy? Wait, Riku could have warned me or should have anyway!

"That was unexpected..not. Hehe, sorry, I tried to warn you. You okay?" He said, as I was staring at him evilly. He held out his hand and I grabbed it. As he lifted me up, the students started coming back and entering the school. Strange that they came after my incident but lucky all the same I guess.

"I'm…okay. Just a minor head injury." I said, rubbing my head.

"Good. Well, anyway I'll see you later, ok? Don't worry, you'll be happy when find out. And try not to kill yourself." He said, running through the doors, heading to his first period class.

I sighed as I saw his silver hair disappear into the doors. Riku may be a troublemaker but I know he's a teacher's pet at heart. As soon as he was clearly gone, I looked around and dusted myself; making sure everything was okay. As I grabbed my bags, I noticed that the "Aces" were giggling at me again. They really still hate me after all this time, huh?

See, when I was a freshman, I accidentally hit the leader of the Aces, Selphie with my sketchbook. I wasn't really looking where I was going when I drew my piece and even when I apologized for the incident; she was still fuming at the mouth. So since then, they try their best to make me feel bad which doesn't work…most of the time anyhow.

Anyway, I started walking up the stairs hurrying to first period like the rest of the students. "Hey Namine! Over here!" Someone said running toward me. Of course, before I knew, my red-haired friend came crashing on top of me before I could response.

"Hey Kairi…uh could you loosen the grip a little?" I said, gasping for air. She seems to get stronger everyday but maybe it's just me.

"Sorry Namine. So, ready for first period?" Kairi said, smiling brightly.

Kairi is one of the few friends I have. I met her through Riku one day at the local café downtown. I didn't talk to her much but as the days went by, we started to get closer. She's an energetic person but she still knows her limits on subjects. I still haven't told her about my dreams either. Now back though but, to what we were saying.

"As ready as I'll ever be…" Namine said, struggling to breathe still.

Well, I know this chapter is extremely short. I did introduce a friend of Namine's though, Kairi. Even though Kairi isn't one of my favorite characters in Kingdom Hearts, I wanted her to have a special purpose in my story. Anyway, I promise to make Chapter 3 longer, ok?

Read & Review! Thank you!
