A/N To my small amount of readers, I am so sorry this hasn't been updated sooner… No excuses just plain writers block… Also I'm thinking about getting a FictionPress… hmm…

"Hey Hana, what'cha doing sleeping here?"

A younger Hana was lying in a flower bed, having a pleasant nap. She opened her eyes and got up slowly.

She looked up at a child with blond hair and green eyes. The blond wore a mint green gown. Hana's sleepy eyes lit up instantly. "Hi Princess, it's nice to see you!"

The blond girl put her hands on her hips. "Hana, how many times have I told you just to call me Ayane?"

Hana got up and dusted herself off. "Sorry Ayane, guess it's a habit. So what do you want to do?"

Ayane smiled. "Let's go play in the castle! We can play princess~!"

Hana looked puzzled. "Ayane you ARE a princess, how are you gonna play princess?"

Ayane jumped up and down. "Well we could play hide-and-seek or race!"

Hana nodded. "YES, that sounds funnn!"

The two girls raced off, giggling, deliriously, due to being carefree kids.

"Augh!"

Hana shot up and bumped her head on the wall of the Secret Place.

"Ouch… What in the world happened? Who was that cloaked figure? And that girl, in my flashback, I've seen her before…"

"Hana? What are you doing here? We've been worried about you!"

Sora came skipping into the Secret Place.

"Uh, hey Sora… You know what? I gotta fly! See ya!" Hana hurriedly brushed past Sora and left the Secret Place.

"W-wait! Hana?"

"What am I doing? Sora is my friend…Why am I running away? Shoot, my basket! Bu-But I can't go back there!"

Hana decided she should do something useful while avoiding her friends, so she decided half-heartedly to catch some fish. She first sneaked out to the boats and grabbed a bucket out of hers.

"Well… the fish are calling…" Hana took off her shoes and socks and proceeded to strip, revealing a black two-piece swimsuit.

Water lapped at her calves and then her thighs as she trudged deeper into the warm ocean. There she waited, taking slow, even breaths.

"There you go Hana! You're getting much better." A younger Riku smiled holding onto a dull gray bucket.

"Yay! Thanks for teaching me Riku!" Hana smiled. There was a wriggling fish in her hand and it wriggled so much it leapt out of her hand. Hana attempted to catch it, but only ended up falling backwards.

"Careful Hana!" Riku quickly caught her before she made contact with the water.

"Sorry…" Hana pulled away from Riku, red-faced.

"It's all right! We've caught enough fish! Let's find Kairi and Sora."

Hana smiled fondly at the memory, but frowned, remembering how much she leaned on Riku.

"I have to stop relying on other people!"

She quickly dug a hole in the sand and put a bit of brush and dried driftwood. Hana fumbled around, attempting to find two rocks. She succeeded and began striking them, attempting to start a fire.

"Use the fire in your heart."

Hana jumped up as the rocks in her hand began to blaze. Surprisingly, the flaming rocks only felt warm and didn't hurt her.

"W-What was that?" Hana thought for a bit, then shrugged her shoulders, putting the rocks in the pit. She skewered the fish and watched them shrivel up as they smoked. Hanna sat down and hugged her knees close to her body.

"I wonder why my hands weren't burned to a crisp…"

"Hana…"

Hana stood up to leave, recognizing the voice that called her name.

Riku grabbed her wrist, jerking her backwards carelessly.

Hanna punched him as hard as possible in the stomach. "Just leave me ALONE!"

"What's gotten into you, Hanna?"

"That's none of your business…"

Riku's eyes flashed with anger for a moment, but he straightened up and began walking away.

"Sorry for caring, Hanna."

Hanna felt warm tears trail down her cheeks as she watched Riku continue walking away

"If you really cared about me, you would know why I was upset!"

His figure became rigid and he looked as if he would turn around, but he started walking again, this time with a quicker pace.

"I… just don't want to leave home…"

Okay end of chapter… duh. And I'm kinda blocking a bit and I have finals week coming up pretty dang soon so… I might be a little M.I.A. sorry… Don't loose faith!
