Hey people! Another chapter has been born XD umm I've been working on it over time and I've had yucky school essays in the way as well… Enjoy! Reviews are great if the story need changes or if my OCs seem undeveloped. I'm not a great writer, soo thanks.

Hana trailed behind an agitated Riku. "Heh, I bet that Sora's taking a nap. He sleeps more than you." Riku laughed.

"Oh thanks." Hana laughed and slapped his arm playfully. She ran her hand through her hair. It felt nice.

She loved her friends. Riku was… so special to her… Kairi was like the sister anyone could want! Sora was like a sweet brother to her.

And of course Sora was on the beach with Kairi standing over him. "Hey Sora, guess I'm the only one working on the raft."

"Oh thanks, what am I doing?" Hana put her hand on her hips, insulted

"Well, you're not really working on the raft. You're, collecting food." Riku said quickly

"Yeah, I am helping…" Hana said smiling

"You're doing all the work that doesn't involve muscle… you're such a girl" Riku smirked

Hana smile faded. "Are you implying that I'm not a girl?"

"I'm kidding Hana!" Riku laughed.

"Riiiight…" Hana said smiling.

"And you, Kairi, you're as bad as Sora, get to work, at least help out Hana." Riku was scowling

"All right we'll work on the raft together! I'll race you!" Kairi smiled. "Ready… GO!"

Sora and Riku took off, neck and neck; Hana trailed behind with Kairi only a little bit behind her.

"So Sora, I need you to get two logs, one cloth, and one rope." Kairi said smiling, while tapping her foot

"Awww, but Kairi, can't you get it?" Sora looked troubled

Kairi pouted "Pleease Sora."

Sora hung his head in utter defeat. He knew he couldn't say no to her no matter how much he wanted to be lazy.

Hana's mouth was curved up into a smile. "Man I need lessons from Kairi." She thought grinning.

Sora eventually came back with the materials. Kairi thanked him with a smile and a wink.

"C'mon Sora, Hana, let's head on home! It's getting late." Kairi skipped towards the papou fruit tree.

Sora, Kairi and Hana were sitting on the papou tree and Riku was leaning against in casually.

"So Kairi's home is out there somewhere, right?" Sora asked

"Don't forget about Hana's! Her old home could be out there too!" Kairi chirped.

"Both your home worlds could be out there…" Riku said "But we'll never know by staying put on this island…"

Hana frowned and shook her head, in thought, "The islands were home to her, she didn't want to leave them. After all the people had done for her, she couldn't just up and leave… not without saying goodbye."

"Huh, Riku, how far do you think our raft will take us?" Sora peered over at Riku, looking slightly concerned

Riku waved his hands causally "Who knows? If we really have to, we'll just think of something else."

Hana scowled "Riku, do you have any idea how dangerous that is! Say there's a storm or something! What will happen then?"

Riku jerked his head the other way completely brushing off the comment "I said that if we had to we would think of something else."

Hana looked down, a bit hurt, "Jerk."

Sora stared wide eyed at her, "Hana?"

Kairi smiled sweetly, trying to lighten up the mood, "So if we do get to another world, what are we going to do there?"

Riku faltered, "Well, I hadn't really thought about it. It's just that… I've always wondered why we're here, on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we have to end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds… then ours is just a tiny piece of something much greater! We could have just as easily ended up in some other world!"

Sora flopped down into a lying position. "I don't know"

Riku nodded. "Exactly. That's why we need to go out there, into other worlds and find out. Just sitting here won't change a thing. It's the same old stuff. So let's go already!"

Hana's sour mood worsened and thoughts raced through her head. "This place is safe and secure. What's so bad about playing on the beach? Would Riku really want to leave everyting?"

Kairi smiled, "You've been thinking a lot lately, haven't you?"

Riku looked at Kairi and Hana. "It's thanks to you and Hana. If the two of you hadn't come here, I probably wouldn't have thought of any of this. Kairi, Hana, thanks."

Hana looked down and mumbled, "You're welcome." Kairi said the same, but much more cheerily.

Hana jumped down from the Papou Tree. "C'mon guys, we should head on home now. We've got a long day ahead of us."

She strode down to the docks where her boat was waiting. Kairi was trailing behinds. She looked even further to see that Sora and Riku were discussing something. From where I was I could see it was quite a fuss. Riku tossed something yellow at Sora and his lips moved. Sora made the gestures of embarrassment and Riku threw his head back, laughing.

"Something yellow… A Papou Fruit?" Hana shook the thoughts off, only wondering what the squabble was about.

The row back home was always difficult. The ores were large and awkward and Hana's arms usually felt like jelly when she made it home. Though, with encouragement and of course time, her arms got a lot stronger.

Hana woke up to the sounds of seagulls and the peaceful sounds of ocean waves. That's what she loved most about the islands. She adored the sounds of the waves and the sweet morning breezes.

"GOOOD MORNING, HANA!" Kairi trilled pulling the covers off of a drowsy Hana.

"Urgh, Kairi… Go on without me… I need five more minutes… or five more hours." Hana rolled away from the energetic red-head.

"Uh ah, no way are you going to sleep while I order Sora around and make the raft look cool." Kairi began shaking Hana playfully.

Hana sat up and moaned. "Fine, fine, I'm getting up, lemme get dressed."

Kairi clapped her hands. "Great, meet you at the boats in five minutes."

Hana stumbled out of bed and put on her usual outfit; a pair of dark blue jean shorts and a blue tinted white halter top over a black tank top. Finally she put on her prized necklace; a teardrop shaped blue gem on a silver colored chain.

As promised, Kairi was waiting by the boats. "Hey Hana!"

Hana smiled and waved. "Hey Kairi~"

"Hiya Hana! Let's go," Kairi hopped into her boat. "I'll race you!"

"Urk, nooo Kairi, I'm still half-asleep here."

Hana hopped into her boat and began rowing sluggishly. "Let's go and collect food!" She perked up a bit as soon as her body started working.

"Don't rush now Hana!" Kairi laughed.

They finally made to where the raft was parked. Hana had to admit that the raft did look pretty cool. But could it take them to another world? No.

"See ya!" Hana waved and ran off to the only spot she thought she could have a moment to herself. She grabbed a basket quickly so she could pick up any food she chanced by.

Riku's voice called out to her. "Wait Hana!"

She slowed slightly, only to speed off faster than she had been running.

Hana finally made it to a secret cave behind a waterfall. It was cool, dimly lit, and calming, just the thing that she needed. Hana leaned against one the cool walls and slid down into a sitting position.

"You're a fool, girl."

Hana jumped up, frightened by the deep voice. "Who's there?" She wildly whipped her head about, searching for the source.

"Why are you so afraid of the outside worlds?"

Hana stopped looking around. "I- I don't want to leave this place, it's my home!"

A figure cloaked in brown stepped out of the shadows. "You've grown…"

"Who are you?" Hana was trembling. Her body felt ice cold.

"That is none of your concern, my dear." The figure rushed at her.

Hana screamed and collapsed onto the ground. The figure chuckled and disappeared.

Ah snap! Such mysteries surround Hana… Thank you for reading my amateur stuffs. Tips are greatly appreciated.
