We were back on the Darness Emissary. I looked down at the journal on my nightstand and realized I hadn't read it in a while. I had to catch up on it so I read three pages.

Well, I'd imagine it'd be a long time since you would read this. Since the exit puts people in a different place every time. The next place you must go is Destiny Islands. Tell Mickey that is 15.4 stars east and 4.87 stars north. There is a secret place behind the waterfall. I'd imagine you know that since Mickey and I placed you there. Well go back there and look for the drawing of a heartless symbol. right under it should be a rock. Under that rock should be a map. You need to destroy that map so it doesn't go ito the wrong hands. I must warn you again not to come in contact with any love intrests. Only Mickey could help you then. I wish you Godspeed Riku. And don't read further until the map is destroyed.

So much for reading ahead. "Hey, Mickey. Go to 15.4 stars east and 4.87 stars north."

"Kay."

We landed on Destiny Islands. I almost cried when I finally got back to the sandy beaches.

"You left as a boy, but returned as a man."

"What?" I asked.

"Well you grew up here," said Mickey, "You left as a boy, but returned as a man."

"Welcome humble visitors." a fat man with a handlebar mustache was coming towards us. It was the mayor. Also known as Kairi's adopted father. "May we asked why you come to you little Island?"

"Buisness." said Mickey, "War buisness."

"Well, don't ask for an army. You have to earn my men, not beg."

"We intend to earn them." said Terra.

"By God. Are you Terra?"

"Why yes I am."

"Oh wow. You do desrve my men. I'm a big fan of the Colosium Tournies. You must show me some moves."

"He can't" said Aqua hugging him,"We're working on his cockiness."

"I can respect that. And who might you be?" he asked me

"Sir, you don't remeber me? It's Riku."

"Riku! Where've you been. You leave for a year and come back with a king and keyblade masters. One would never suspect that a trouble-maker like you would make it so far. I was about to think that you weld a keyblade. But I see now that you were just hitching a ride."

"Actually," I summoned my keyblade, "we're a team." Just like that Mickey, Terra and Aqua all summoned thier keyblades.

"O, I love watching a good keyblade show-down. I fight with a sword, you guys will have to show me that proper way to fight. Well I must be off, make yourselves at home." He left us.

"Your majesty, were gonna find a place to eat and catch up. Se you in an hour." They walked away holding hands.

"And I best check out the army. You should probaly find Kairi."

"I... I think I'll do that."

I walked back to the part of the beach where a dock connected it to another island. Kairi was there with a few of her friends from school. She looked so cute in her uniform. I ran over to her. By the time I was crossing the bridge, a few of her friends were staring at me and bluching. One was even doing her hair. I didn't care how many girls wanted me. I wanted Kairi. I got there and it was hard for her even to see me wit hthe crowd of girls around me.

"Hi, I'm Crystal. I'm not always this messy. Or I can be if you like it." said one.

"I'm Lu, I think you're cute." said another.

I made my way thourgh the crowd and took Kairi's hand. I noticed she hadn't looked up at me.

"Do I know you?" she said.

I had changed a lot this past year. "Kairi, it's Riku."

She looked as if she were about to faint. She did. I carried her back to where my house was. I was the only one who lived there and it was abandoned now. I was followed by girls but I locked them out. I layed Kairi down and fanned her off for a little bit. She had gotten so beautiful. She woke after a little while.

"Riku? Is it really you?"

"Yeah. It's me."

She inhaled strongly and grabbed the back of my head and pushed it against hers. I'd been waiting a long time for her to kiss me how she was. She dragged me down to lay on the bed and before I knew it, I was taking my shirt off. She was taking her clothes off as well. In no time we were both naked still kissing how Terra and Aqua kissed a day back. She wanted me. I wanted her. I didn't care about what might happen, I just didn't want this ecstacy to end.

"Well, I'm honored that you'd want my army, your majesty." said the mayor.

"Well, I do think it's good," I said.

"You realize that we will ned an amout of money, your majesty."

"Yes, my apprentice, Riku, can get it here by tomorrow."

"So I need to know how they will be fighting."

"They'll be behind the Card Soldiers and firing cannons in the back of the line. If all the soldiers fall, we can bring the best back with potions and pheonix downs."

"I understand. So let me show you the army."

The mayor took me into a training room where hundreds of Shadow heartlss were in multiple rows.

"Heartless?"

"Wesigned a treaty long ago, king, they said if you or your apprentice ever came here, we were to kill you." He pulled out a knife and thried to attck me. I blocked it with the keyblade. I had to warn Riku.

So there we were. We had just gone all the way and were cuddling next to each other.

"So where were you?" she asked.

"A lot of places. I even went Port Royal."

"You're so lucky. I'd give anything to see the world and not be held in this prison of an island."

"You'll leave someday."

"Riku, promise you'll never leave me."

Then everything made sense. When Mickey said that war torn people apart. Then it happened My heart was rushing I had to get it to stop be fore it killed me. I stood up, but blood was rushing out of my mouth.

"Riku, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. I got to go.

"Riku, you're bleeding."

"I need th king."

"Who?"

Then there was a knocking at the door. "Kairi! Open up you little son of a bitch!"

"Shit," she said.

"Who's that."

"Slader. He's my boyfriend. Although I don't really... like him. I'm just afraid of him."

My heart was calming and the blood stopped. "I'll take care of this."

I opened the door and a man taller than me with brown hair down to his shoulders was scowling at me. Kairi got her clothes on and stood behind me.

"Kairi. You whore. Who the hell is this, shithead?"

"Slader, don't."

He went to punch me but I grabbed his fist and thew it back at him.

"Ow!" You're getting it now." He threw another punch and I grabbed it and slammed it in the door.

Mickey came running behind him. "Riku, we have to leave now!"

As a keyblade wielder, I had to take everything in a matter of seconds. First I had Kairi finally loving me, Slader trying to kill me and Mickey telling me to leave plus a task to do for Ansem the Wise. "Hold on."

I ran to the secret spot, found the map and put it in my pocket, then I found Mickey who was holding back Slader who was about to beat Kairi. And Terra and Aqua were being chased by thousands of heartless. I picked up Kairi and ran with the others. Our ship was destroyed.

"My dad has one, it's over there."

We ranto it and unlocked the door. We ran inside but a bigger problem emerged. A tall slender mas with dark hair was wearing the armoor I had when I was possesed. Ans ha had the dark keyblade.

"I'll take care of him." I jumooed out of the ship and striked. He called all of the heartless back and fought. I read his eyes to stay on top of the battle.

"I am Lord Mathius. Dark wielder."

"I am Riku, the one who will kill you."

Mathius and I went at it for quite som time. we fought until I saw an openig to run. I did on boarded the ship We sped out of there. Things looked fine until heartless shihp were chasing us. Then it hit me. "I left the jounal on the other ship."

"No, it's in your pocket." said Aqua.

I checked and there it was, but I could've sworn I left it on the ship. It was almost like it was following me.

We escaped the range of the other ships.

"So now what?" asked Terra/

"We look for more allies." said Mickey.

I wasnn't in the mood to listen to war plans. I went back to one of the bunks to find Kairi.

"We need to talk." she said.
