Nick: Yes boredom has taken it's slimy hold on me again and this time I think I will write Kingdom Hearts Stuff. i don't know if it'll be a one shot or what it'll be. All I know is that it will be about Kingdom Hearts. It will possess an OC. It will be rated T for Teen. And last but not least, it will be awesome enough for you to leave reviews! So leave reviews!

"Get out!" I fell back from the force as I stared at the monster with wide eyes. His fangs glistened in what little light there was and Sora was instantly in front of me, shielding me.

"Beast, Beast, it's ok! She's a friend! She isn't here to hurt you! You just scared her!" He explained as the beast was instantly placid.

"A friend?" He asked as I began to try and climb to my feet. I easily sheathed my swords as I patted the dirt that now covered my clothes.

"Yeah. Her name's Arista. Arista, this is Beast. He's the prince of this castle." Sora introduced us with a careless smile as I glared at him.

"You know you might have wanted to explain this place to me before I got here! You have me jumping at every stupid little thing!" I chastised him as the Beast chuckled.

"I apologize if I frightened you." He offered and I turned to smile at him.

"Eh, it's no big deal, really. Besides, it's Sora's fault." I excused. Sora pouted as Donald and Goofy laughed.

"Beast!" A feminine voice echoed in the hall as I looked up toward the staircase. A beautiful woman stood before us with large hazle eyes and bushy chesnut hair.

"Belle." The Beast's voice dropped down as he watched the woman with an emotion that I was fairly familar with if only because Leon looked at me like that. Like I was the most precious thing in the world to him. I sighed. I missed my family almost instantly.

"Belle, this is Sora."

"I remember. Thank you very much for saving me."

"No problem. This is Arista! She's a friend of ours!" Sora introduced me as I smiled at the young woman. She probably was only a couple years older than me, I noted.

"My, you are such a pretty little thing!" She complimented as I blushed.

"Thank you." I responded quietly. Sora chuckled at my embarassment before I elbowed him roughly in the ribs.

"Shut up." I growled as he quieted instantly.

"What is she doing here?" Marluxia growled.

"She's with Sora!" Her partner replied as the two glared at the young girl that practically pranced in front of them. If I they destroyed her heart...

"Both of you leave, now." The two organization members turned to the stranger who stood behind, dressed as one of them. They stared at him before disappearing into the shadows. The stranger turned to look back at the girl who stood beside the Keybearer with a cautious look upon her face. She searched the area around her for danger, something to warn her of an oncoming figure smirked.

"Welcome back, Arista."

"Sora, you ever get this feelin' you're being watched?" I asked as I felt that familiar shiver travel down my spine.

"Nope!" He answered, careless about my fears.

"Do you ever get any feeling besides hunger?" I asked with a quirked eyebrow as he grinned wildly at me.

"Nope!"

"Loser." I growled before tightening my grip on my swords. A strange sensation ran through my body as I turned suddenly to face a figure dressed in a black cloak.

"Who are you?" Sora yelled as he too turned to the stranger, his keyblade drawn.

"Who I am is of no importance. Who are you?" A dark cold voice asked as he pointed at me. I stared at him. Sora scoffed from beside me.

"She's Arista!"

"Is she? Or is she something else?"

"Your riddles don't make any sense! Who else would she be?"

"A key, a light, a clue. The very thing that you've been searching for. She is the one thing between Xemnas and Kingdom Hearts." Sora's eyes widened as I froze. An explosion sent us both to our knees as the stranger disappeared.

"Sora!"

"Donald, Goofy, get Arista out of here!"

"Sora, no!" I screamed as the two of us faced one another.

"Arista, if that guy was right, you're in danger!"

"What if he wasn't? What if he was lying?"

"What if he wasn't lying?" Sora asked as he gripped my shoulders.

"You are one of the most important things in my life. I can't see you get hurt because I couldn't protect you!" He pleaded. I could only stare at him.

"Sora..."

"You are a very important person, Arista, remember that."

"Are you sad, little one?"

"Are you lonely?"

"I will always protect you. Always."

"Arista! Arista!" Sora shook my shoulders as I blinked. Flickering memories faded as tears rolled down my face.

"I can't leave you...I'll forget. You make me remember. I don't wanna forget again." I begged. His eyes widened as Donald and Goofy stood around us.

"Arista..."

"Please, Sora, please..." I pleaded as his eyes softened before he pulled me into a hug.

"Alright. Come on!" He agreed. Between the explosions that caused us to go deaf, the smoke that choked us, and the light that blinded us, I was surprised we didn't get separated in the turmoil.

"Arista, can you clear this place out?" Sora asked as I frowned before nodding. It took all of my concentration to perform a spell that could clear the smoke. As soon as it cleared, I could see the destruction our attackers had wrought upon this castle. Stone rubble lay around ruined buildings and trees smoked from being set aflame. My eyes were wide as I took in the damage.

"This is all my fault."
