AN: In case you get confused in this chapter, Luka is like, one of the members of Organization XIII that you never see. I wrote this story before the second game came out, so I didn't know any real names of the organization members, and like I said, this is my version of the game. Luka looks like Axel, but he acts like someone else. I'm not quite sure yet, but I think you'll figure it out.

Chapter TWO: The Beginning to a Hopeless End
Riku ran down the flooded street, carelessly swinging his keyblade around, knocking heartless out of the way. The building menacingly crept into his view, looming dangerously in front of him. Behind the building, a vast ocean stretched out and disappeared into the horizon. His heart sank to his stomach as he realized that the ocean was part of Kingdom Hearts. The World That Never Was connected the real world to Kingdom Hearts.
Seeing that the doors refused to open for him, he plunged his keyblade through the awning, and flipped himself over it. Ignoring the pain that shot through his shoulder, he ducked his head and ran up the building. His memory suddenly took control as he realized he was doing the same thing Sora had. Ignoring the sinking feeling, he knocked the heartless out of the way and before he knew it, he was standing on top of the building. He jumped off, and landed gracefully on the sandy beach.
Sora stood in front of him, covered by a long black cloak. A beautiful blonde girl in a short white dress stood just behind him, to his left a little. On the right, a blonde boy stood, wearing the same cloak. Sora gave Riku a broken smile, as the tears finally fell.
"Bye." he said, vanishing. The girl dropped her gaze to the ground, and vanished too. Now, the other boy glared at Riku and disappeared, leaving a very confused, and heartbroken Riku to think up another plan.
Sora sat on a bed in the middle of a blue-violet room. The velvet comforter, pillowcases, sheets, and carpet reminded him of Kairi's eyes. He cried for what seemed like hours, with nothing to comfort him but the haunting sound of her laughter. Finally, he slipped into unconciousness.
Naminé and Roxas stood just outside of the room. They couldn't look at each other, their eyes were glued to the ground in overwhelming guilt. He'd been so close to freedom, and they'd shown up only seconds before Riku had, condemning Sora to a fate worse than death. The echoing sounds of his heartbroken cries were crystal clear to the two teens guarding the door.
Just because they were destined to serve under Luka didn't mean Sora should have to. Finally, his voice died away, and they felt it was safe enough to enter. Naminé pushed the door open, standing in the shadows while Roxas crept past her. Sora was in a deep sleep, obviously exhausted. He gave Naminé the signal, and she walked over. Sitting next to Sora, she pressed her palm to his forehead and closed her eyes.
Roxas watched in awe as Sora's face twisted in agony as Naminé temporarily hid his memories. She'd secretly refused to remove them, but gave everyone else the impression that she would do as she was told. The only person who knew what she was doing was Roxas, Sora's guard. Luka had requested Sora have a guard on him at all times, along with Naminé to keep an eye on his memory. Nodding to show she'd finished, Roxas helped her back out into the hallway. He shut the lights off and closed the door.
Sora woke up in an unfamiliar bed. He glanced around, watching the dark clouds float by his window. After ten minutes, the door creaked open. His eyes shot to it, watching in confusion as a small familiar blonde girl walked in, holding a tray of food.
"Hi..." she said, kicking the side of the bed with her foot. A table lifted out as she set the tray on it. Sora eyed the food hungrily. "You can eat that ya know..." she said, with a small laugh. Sora gave her a wary smile and picked up the fork, shoveling food into his mouth. Naminé laughed again, sitting on the edge of the bed. "Do you like your room?" she asked. He paused, and nodded. "Good. Do you remember your name?" she waited patiently as he swallowed and took a big gulp of water.
"Sora?" he asked. She nodded her head.
"Do you remember where you're from?" she asked. He shook his head. "You were born in this world, you don't remember what it's called?" He shook his head again. "This is The World That Never Was. Think you can remember it?" she asked. He nodded, shoving more food in. "Do you remember my name?" she asked. He nodded.
"Naminé." he said, confident he was right.
"Great!" she said, smiling widely. "Hey come here!" she yelled to no one in particular. Roxas walked in, raising an eyebrow. She motioned for him to stand next to her. "Do you remember him?" she asked, pointing to Roxas. Sora shook his head. "Sora, this is Roxas. He's your guard, not that you'll need him." she said, waving for Roxas to leave. He walked away, grumbling evilly.
"Thanks for wasting another thirty seconds of my life." he snapped, shutting the door. Naminé watched him leave with a small smirk on her face. She turned back to Sora and continued to ask him questions.
"Ok, do you remember King Mickey?" she asked. Sora shook his head. "King Mickey is the ruler of the realm of the light. Luka is the ruler of this world, he'll be helping you. You were chosen to become the ruler of the realm of the dark. Ok?" she said slowly.
"Whatever." he mumbled. Luka had warned her about Sora's impassive attitude. She swallowed her pride and forced a smile.
"I'll be back in thirty minutes to take you to Luka. You need to start planning as soon as possible." she said, and with that she closed the door behind her.
Ok ok, boring chapter, I know! But it picks up soon I promise! Now leave me lots of reviews, and let me know if anything was unclear. I accept flames!
