Chapter Two:

A blue ceiling, a few muffled words from the living room and her sister's room, and her own breathing. The sound of rain echoed from the roof and windows, as Hanako glared up, bored.

"Well, what do we want to do today?" Seoshi asked, looking out the window to the pouring rain and gray sky. "It's pouring, so no way Macy would be out there working on the raft."

Hanako shrugged. "We could go to the cave. It can't be raining in there." she suggested, looking at him with curiousity. "What do you say?"

"Sounds like something, and that's better than nothing." he shrugged, getting up with Hanako. They headed into the entryway, sneaking past Hanako's parents to their raincoats and umbrellas. With the gear on, the snuck outside quietly into the rain and cold. Hanako propped open her umbrella, looked back to Seoshi, and they exchanged a nod.

Hanako started running, not letting the force of the wind on the umbrella stop her, conciously thinking of Seoshi running behind her at a slightly slower pace, and she shivered at each puddle she stepped in, sights set on the cave in the near distance.

She slipped into the dry shelter, laying back with mud all over her feet and splattered on her legs, breathing heavily and looking to the cave ceiling. She heard Seoshi falling into the cave on all fours, breathing just as hard, trying to catch his breath.

Hanako looked over at the door, where she saw the strange man yesterday, shocked. "'You do not yet know what lies beyond the door.'" she quoted, eyes wide as she sat up to see better.

"What?" Seoshi asked, oblivious to the threat.

The door was open, leaking out darkness that appeared to be veins and vines coiling and wrapping around everything. Hanako gasped, standing up and attempting to back up, but shocked to find she was up against a wall, Seoshi no where in sight. She gulped, then closed her eyes as a moment of bravery hit her.

Without any running start, she leaped over the dark vines, and out into the rain, trying to shield her mismatched eyes to the pouring water. She squinted into the hazy vision she had to see a familar blonde by the shore, and she gapsed again, running up to meet her best friend.

"Macy, what are you doing?" she asked, grabbing her friend's arm.

Macy didn't seem to acknowledge the other teen. "The door has been opened," was all she said, simply staring into the distance, like there was something out there.

"What do you mean?" Hanako asked, gasping as an evil smile crossed her face. The red head shook her head, then turned around to see the darkness closing on to the two friends.

"Um, Donald..."

"What Goofy."

"Where are we going again?"

A scowl passed by Donald's face, as he clentched the steering wheel. "For the last time, Goofy; WE ARE GOING TO TRAVERSE TOWN!" he yelled, almost loosing control of the ship they were driving.

"Oh..." Goofy smiled and nodded, but then frowned. "To meet... Leon, right?"

"Yes, for the love of Mickey, YES. No, shut up and leave me alone!"

Her hand. Her hand could barely reach her best friend, the darkness swallowing them with little hesitation. Macy could only reach out to her as well, smiling calmly, like she could embrace the darkness, let it into her heart, unlike her struggling friend.

Hanako couldn't imagine her fate, so she closed her eyes, feeling absolutely nothing, like it was a nice purgatory, but it ended to soon as she felt something hard under her, and a cold sensation running up her back. She opened her eyes slowly, to see a black, hazy sky and a light coming up from the floor. Hanako got up, looking around, before stepping forward and unleashing birds, that flew every which way, her standing in awe. She looked back down to see a giant key decorate the floor, and she gaped; it was a mix of a key and some sort of odd blade, something she was unfamiliar with.

'Walk.' a voice in her head commanded, and she looked around to see a set of stairs leading up to another slightly taller tower. Unsure of the consequences if she did not do so, she walked forward to up the stairs, shocked to notice they disappeared behind her.

'Guess I can't go back now...' she laughed in her head, continuing up the stairs to the top of the strange tower. Three short pillars stood before her, strange weapons balancing on each, and she stared.

"What the hell?" she asked, when the voice clarified, if only a little.

'Choice your weapon wisely; it'll make all the difference in the world later in the journey.'

She frowned at the vague detail, then picked up the sword, swinging it slightly. "This one will do." she said aloud, like the voice could hear her, then gasped and nearly screamed when it changed into the keyblade she had seen earlier.

'This is a Keyblade.'

Hanako looked down at it with her mismatched eyes. "A Key...blade?"
