Disclaimer: No Kingdom Hearts. You all know I don't.

Lozzieh: Huuuummmmoooorrr… I just wrote it like you would probably say it. And I find it rather pathetic that you are the only one who is reading my stories…should I really go on with writing it? I want to…but should I post it up on FanFiction? No-one is reading it…other than you. Even Chris hasn't turned up yet. She didn't even know that I put stories up until I talked to her on the phone.

Ah well…one with the story!

Chapter Five: Spilling Secrets


Sora ran down the beach, leaving Kairi back at his house while he checked on the raft.

That was too creepy…He really needed something to take his mind off of what happened before. Tightening the ropes that bound the raft to the shore, he finally thought that they were set and ready. He dusted the sand off of his knees while he searched the sky. The stars were all dim, and the moon had disappeared. Or…was it ever there? He was getting confused. Everywhere he looked was dark. The shadows were all at their biggest state, stretching out to look like tall, sinister beings, ready for attack. This sent a shiver down his spine.

Everything written by Aly was just a made up story! Anyone in her story could be called Sora… He looked out over to the island, and faintly heard some voices. It sounds like Riku…is he in some kind of…pain?Sora started to jog slowly over to the bridge, when he heard some fast, yet quiet footsteps behind him. Someone grabbed his arm and shoved him around fast and hard.

"OW! What the-" A hand slid over his mouth.

"No time to talk!"

Aly…? He took the hand away from his mouth.

"You wrote things…things that I want to know more about. No, things that I NEED to know about!"

Aly sighed. "Not now," she urged. "We need to find Riku and Neru! We need to find them right NOW!"


Riku stopped laughing and looked at Neru. She looked sad…really sad. The laughter from his face immediately died, and he sat up rubbing his head. "What's the matter?"

Neru suddenly snapped back to reality, and she shook her head violently. "Nope…I just can't think of any more jokes. You got any?"

Riku sighed. "Nope."

There is a whole lot more that you aren't telling me, Neru.

They had only known each other for a short amount of time, but he seemed to know her well enough to know that something was wrong. The whole time she'd been here, she'd never looked sad. And he definitely knew that it wasn't over a stupid joke.

"Look…" he murmured. Still slightly embarrassed to talk to her freely without blushing, he got to his feet and sat back on the tree. "If there's anything that you want to tell me-"

"-Don't be stupid and go to Maleficent!"

"…what?"

Riku sat wide eyed as Neru spoke speedily about what was going to happen to him.

"Wait…hold up," Riku said, his voice only a whisper. "If this is another one of your jokes, it isn't funny."

Neru had tears spilling down her cheeks. "Listen to me!" she cried. "I'm not telling jokes any more!"

Riku got off the tree and started to pace up and down the dark grass. "So what you're telling me is…?"

"The moon is gone, shadows are growing, Heartless have started to turn up…this is all leading to one thing! You'll give yourself up to the darkness to save Kairi…Kairi will loose her heart, Sora will become the Keyblade bearer…I know I'm screwing everything up by telling you this, but you need to know!"

Riku's eyebrows narrowed. "Why are you telling me all these stupid lies? I'm not falling for this! I'm not as gullible as Sora! These…these Heartless, or whatever they are, they do not exist! Either something has messed with your head, or you're just a freaking nutter!"

Neru started to shiver and sob, lurching with every hiccup. She could feel the Heartless gathering in the shadows, swarming, feeling a new heart fighting darkness, almost being consumed.

"Why…don't you believe me?" she whispered.

Riku threw his hands above his head in rage. "Do you know how far fetched that fucking story is!? Shadows stealing hearts, worlds disappearing, the key to save the world…how in all of hell am I meant to believe all of that!?" He turned to leave, when Neru took off his jumper and held it out to him.

"Take it back. I don't need it…it's not like I'm cold any more…"

"Keep it." Riku stormed off, across the bridge, and disappearing beyond Neru's vision.

She nuzzled her head in Riku's jacked.

Why…does everything always end up the opposite of people want it…?


"So…what you're saying is…"

"That we need to find Riku and Neru. Most of all Neru."

Aly and Sora ran down the cost and up to the island.

"Are you sure they would be here?" Sora asked.

"Of what I remember, this is where you and Riku get sucked into the darkness."

"What!?"

"We need everything to go as planned otherwise…" She paused.

"Other wise what?" Sora urged her.

"Well, that's the problem," Aly said, looking back up at Sora. "I don't know what's going to happen. That's why we need it to go exactly how it should."

Sora rubbed his hands together, as if her were cold. "I'm having a real hard time believing this…but…" He sighed. "I'll do what I can to help. There are too many things that have related to what I've already seen, so it's really getting to my head. Let's go find Riku." So he and Aly started to run down the dark beach, in search for Riku and Neru.

Half way down, they heard some argumentative yelling. Aly stopped as she saw Riku thudding across the jetty and off to a place alone.

Oh God…what have you said to him, Neru…She ran around Riku as silently as she could, and ran across the wooden planks of the jetty to find her friend. Sora was about to run over to Riku, but he disappeared before he could get to him.

"Come on…" Sora mumbled angrily, stamping his foot. He could never keep up with Riku…so he went to go to Aly, to see what more he could figure out about his and his friends' fate. When he got there, he heard the two girls whispering at each other, as if have a rather large argument. He got close enough just to hear the last few words.

"…and then he has to read them! He knows about the Keyblade, Xehanort, and stuff like that! I'm just hoping that he didn't read about Riku or Kairi…that would make him go nuts!"

"That isn't my fault! But with Riku, it just came out! It wasn't my fault! What would have you done with Axel!? Would you have told him that he's going to die for Sora, cause he looks like Roxas!?"

"Look SHUT UP! We both screwed up, oka-" They both paused as they saw Sora approaching.

"Uh, Sora…we can-"

"-Tell me more."

Aly and Neru looked at each other. "What?"

"I want to know more about what's going to happen to me, Riku, Kairi…and even Destiny Island…Or don't I have the right to know?"

Aly huffed as she got up. "It's not that you don't have the right…but it's more that you wouldn't want the right…think about it before you ask us again to tell you. What we're going to say will probably freak you out. Are you sure?"

Sora's lips tightened. "Yes. I'm sure."

The explanation was long and hard, but altogether, Sora seemed to take it quite well.

"So, if I follow your instructions, and stick with you…I can save Kairi?"

Aly and Neru nodded.

"I see…" They sat in silence for a bit.

"But what will happen to Riku?"

Aly shifted. "Well, thanks to Neru," -insert evil stare- "I'm really not sure any more." They were interrupted by a sudden earth tremor.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Sora screamed.

Neru got up and started to run. "RIKU!"

"NERU! GET YOUR SKINNY ASS BACK HERE!" But Neru was long gone.

This time Sora started to run. "Oh-no! Kairi!"

"SORA!" Aly looked around and watched as Heartless appeared around her. "Don't leave me…" Then the Heartless started to close in. "Ah…shit." Then something caught her eye.

A paopu fruit?

She quickly picked it up and lobbed it at the Heartless in her way. "TAKE THAT! NINJA STARS OF LOVE!" Then she ran after her two friends, wishing she could stop this madness.


Uck.. These are so short. Sorry about that. They should be longer… Just review please! xDD
