Usagi:…what…WHAT? 2 updates in two days! Now NO ONE can really say I'm neglecting THIS fic or what?

Max: what about us? I hope you're not forgetting Heart Wars and Kingdom Dorks 2.

Usagi: oh I haven't forgotten about them. I would most definitely finish those two as well.

Another new character appears in his chapter, and we'll finally get to know what it is Zexion has been hiding all this time, which could also explain why he joined the party in the first place.

Zakura: hah! You made that connection up AFTER he joined the party.

Usagi:3 Okay so I like making connections between random characters, I think its cute.

With another mention of Elias Mouse, Mickey's son in this chapter I felt it's about time I told where his name really comes from. In Lost in Darkness Aerith says he was named after Mickey's father… and I meant that quite literally. He's named after Walter Elias Disney XD Most known as Walt Disney, and if you've never heard of him…have you ever wondered why there's a text above the KH-logo saying "Disney"? XD

Enough of that, here's LiD2 chapter 2:

Chapter 2

Zexion's Secret

A gummi ship was travelling trhough space towards the small island kingdom.

"We're almost there madam" the pilot said, or more precisely quacked.

"Excuse me, what?" the woman standing behind him asked.

"Ayhuck, Donald just said we're almost there, that's Destiny Islands just bellow us" said the dog sitting next to her.

"I hope so, I couldn't stand another minute in this cramped ship" the woman said.

"Hey! Don't make fun of the Highwind! We just had it undergo a serious upgrade and to be frank I'm quite pleased with the results" a chipmunk said.

"You're three inches tall; of course you'll be pleased with it. A hamster cage would be big enough for you two" the woman said coldly.

"Don't say that!" another chipmunk said. "Elias once thought so to; he hid me in that small cage for days and wouldn't feed me or anything! Being trapped by a 2-year old is bad enough but the torture! If I had to run one more inch in that wheel I'd go mad!"

"Relax Chip, the King threw out the cage and specifically told him never to do it again" his brother reassured him.

"I'm starting the landing procedure now, you better fasten your seatbelts" Donald said.

On the beach of Destiny Islands lay a beaver.

Not your average beaver mind you, first it had blonde fur, and a mullet, and neither was things normally seen in wild beavers.

Demyx was just as unlike a normal beaver as Zexion was to a normal cat, and right now he was enjoying the summer day by sunbathing.

But his perfect day would soon be interrupted as he heard the roar of a space ship coming toward the beach.

He looked up to see the colourful gummi ship coming towards him.

"Oh snap!" he said and ran towards the city.

It didn't take him long before he crashed into Sora, as the trio ( Axel) had also heard the sound.

"You've got visitors" Demyx said, a totally unnecessary piece of information.

"The king?" Riku asked. "What are they doing here?"

"Let's go ask" Sora said.

They ran down to the beach, Demyx and Axel following in their heels, as the gummi ship landed safely on the sand.

Hardly before the door even opened, Goofy ran out of it.

"Sora!" he said happily.

"Oh not again" Sora said, just before Goofy tackled him and both fell to the ground.

"Nice to see you too" Riku said and laughed. "Long time no see".

"Gawrsh, sorry Sora, it's been so long since we last met" Goofy said and helped Sora get up.

"Really professional Goofy" Donald sighed.

"So, what are you guys doing here?" Sora asked.

"Actually we came to see Kairi" Donald explained.

"Me? What for?" Kairi asked.

"Someone's here too see you princess" Goofy said, as a third person came out of the gummi ship.

It was a woman, wearing what looked like very expensive clothes, and with long red hair, very similar to Kairi.

"I don't believe it… Kairi! It is you!" she said happily.

"Excuse me but…who are you?" Kairi asked.

"Oh sorry, you probably don't remember me after all these years" the woman said. "My name is Nanami, I am your mother."

"Kairi's mother?!?" Sora and Riku said at the same time, Kairi was too shocked to say anything.

"I knew she looked familiar. There's definitely some family resemblance between those two" Axel said.

"I've been looking for you for so long" Nanami said as she embraced Kairi in a hug. "I had just about given up but when I came back to Radiant Garden, I met someone who said they knew you, and they contacted these two…things".

"Things? You're welcome too" Donald said sarcastically.

"Sorry, I'm just not too used to talking animals" Nanami said and giggled nervously.

"Aw don't worry, we get that a lot on our journeys, ahyuck" Goofy said.

"But you look at you, you've gotten so big, where have you been all these years?" Nanami asked, turning her attention towards Kairi again.

"Ehm… Here mostly" Kairi said. "And yeah, these are my friends by the way; Sora, Riku, Demyx and Axel, and you've already met Donald and Goofy."

"Charming…is that a weasel?" Nanami asked.

"Actually I'm an ottsel" Axel said and laughed as the woman flinched.

"More talking animals… Well alright then, how about you show me where you live. I would love to know what you've been up to for so long and I'm sure you want to know more things about your biological family as well" Nanami said.

--

They went back home to Kairi's house, where her stepparents welcomed her real mom with open arms.

Kairi's stepmother was more than willing to tell stories from her childhood, while Sora, Riku, Kairi and the two nobodies (Zexion was still of somewhere hiding) were looking through a photo album that Nanami had brought along.

"Look, this looks like a copy of the same picture I had" Kairi said and pointed to a family photo. "Except…more easily recognizable."

"That's right. That is your father right there, unfortunately he died a couple of years ago" Nanami said, pointing to a man with short grey hair. "And that there is your older brother, we haven't seen him since Radiant Garden got taken over by the heartless" she pointed to a boy with silvery blue hair, rather untidy to.

"Wait a sec…" Sora said. "That guy looks strangely familiar…"

"Yeah, you're right" Riku said. "You don't think…?"

"That can't be…" Kairi said.

"Something wrong?" Nanami asked.

"Not at all, we just got to go somewhere… be right back" Kairi said and the trio suddenly ran out the door.

"What was that all about?" Nanami asked.

"I don't know but these cookies are great" Axel said, taking another cookie of the table.

The three teens had gone out into the garden, following some cat-tracks into a tree.

"Zexion, I know you're up there" Kairi shouted into the tree.

Zexion merely peeked out of the leaves.

"She showed you the picture didn't she?" he asked.

"You know who that woman is?" Kairi asked.

"Of course I know who she is. I smelt her a mile away. She had to find you one day, seeing as you tree have been almost all across the galaxy already" Zexion said.

"But then if you knew who she was then you must have known who I was when we first met too! Why didn't you say anything?" Kairi said, almost crying now. "Why didn't you tell me you were my brother?"

Zexion didn't even look at her, just stretched out like an ordinary cat would, without a care in the world.

"The keyword here is was your brother. Your big brother Ienzo is long gone, I'm just the empty shell he left behind" he said eventually.

"That's a rather lame excuse to keep such things hidden don't you think?" Sora asked.

"Well that was your fault" Zexion said.

"Eh?"

"I don't suppose I have to remind you about what happened two years ago right? Kairi got really upset about that, and I'd rather not have her go trhough that again"

"I guess that does make sense" Kairi said. "But will you at least come in and see mom?"

"And let her see me like this? Not a chance" Zexion said. "Not a chance sister. You go inside, eat cookies or whatever, I'll be fine out here".

"Well okay, but if you ever want to talk to her just come in okay?" Kairi said.

Zexion gave a muffled response, and the three teens went back inside to find Axel flat out on the table after having eaten all the cookies, and Demyx whining because he didn't get any.

Kairi's stepmother and birth mother seemed to have just decided the best was to ignore the nobodies and were just talking like nothing ever happened.

"Ah there you are Kairi. Your mother and I have been talking" her stepmother said as she entered, as if that wasn't obvious already.

"That's right, and we have some good news for you" Nanami said. "I've decided to take you back to Radiant Garden, so you can come live with me".

But to Kairi, this didn't really sound like "good news".

"What? Leave Destiny Islands?" she said in shock.

"Oh I'm sure you'll love it, after all you'll finally be able to live with your real family" Nanami said.

"But I don't want to leave my friends. No offence mom but I've lived on Destiny Islands for as long as I remember" Kairi said. "Shouldn't I have anything to say in this? I am 17 after all!"

"And you're not considered a legal adult until you're 18" Nanami reminded her. "If you want to go back and live with your friends next year I can't stop you, but don't I have the rights to share some quality time with my long-lost daughter? You can still visit your friends if you want to."

"She does have a point" Sora said. Kairi turned quickly and stared at him with what looked like a mix of surprise and anger. "She's been looking for you for years, and I'll come visit you every day if you want."

"And how exactly were you planning to do that?" Kairi asked.

"Oh we'll think of something" Riku said.

"Still it's not quite…" Kairi said but was cut of as she felt something bump into her feet.

She looked down and saw Zexion standing there, she picked him up.

"I'll come with you if you want me to" he said, so silently Nanami couldn't hear him. "But please, don't tell her who I a… was"

"Okay, but you're gonna have to let her know sooner or later" Kairi whispered back. Out loud she said. "Fine, I'll come, but I want to take my cat along".

"That's okay, I'm sure he'll make a great playmate for Fluffy" Nanami said smiling. "We'll be leaving first thing in the morning, so you can say goodbye to your friends first."

Zexion flinched at the mention of the word "Fluffy"; Axel couldn't help but break out in laughter.

Kairi just laughed nervously. "If you make a scene with this other pet I'll be sure to tell her all about you" she warned. Zexion gave of a disapproving meow.

Usagi: poor Zexion:3

Zakura: you'll never grow tired of bothering him will you?

Sora: if being nicknamed "Fluffy" repeatedly and now being put in the same house as another pet named that is "bothering" then what is getting your heart ripped out and turning into the stupidest being on the face of the planet?

Usagi: why Sora, that's pure torture. Yet I feel the need to remind you Ienzo here went trhough the same thing. (Points to a random shadow sitting in the corner eating ice cream)

Sora: …why is Zexion's heartless a shadow?

Usagi: because I like shadows. I considered making him a neo at least but…nope. Shadow it is. And Ienzo is his official name folks (though I bet most of you knew that already…) Only 7 names of the Organization's others were revealed in KH2, and that is Ansem's six assistants: Xehanort, Braig, Dilan, Even, Elaeus (or whatever, I'm not good at spelling his name), Ienzo and of course Sora.

Sora: I'm flattered.

Usagi: This left the other 6 completely nameless so I could name them whatever I want… Also the reason why they have different names depending on what fanfic you read:3 Also I only know about the heartless forms of 2 organization members in the cannon, Sora and Xehanort, the rest of them were up to my own imagination. I have some planned out, like little Ienzo here, mostly picking random heartless I thought fitted one way or another… Others may or may not be based of another fanfic… More about that later in the fanfic.

Enough ranting from a sugar-high fangirl, please keep the reviews coming, don't expect ALL updates to be this frequent XD but hopefully I'll be back soon with more suspense..

Zakura: …and cliff hangers

Usagi: I wasn't going to say that…

Zakura: but you were thinking it.

Usagi: ugh. Whatever. PLEASE REVIEW!
