A/N: I had a lot of thought about uploading a few more chapters to get it the story going so maybe, it would stand out more. Anyway, here is Chapter 2. I will be uploading chapters 3 and 4, because these next 2 chapters is where the story really takes off. If you like it, some feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. :)

Chapter 2: Twilight Town

I step out of the portal looking around along with the dog.

"Whoa! Who are you?" A curious boy asks.

"Oh, hi. Kairi." I reply. And look around to see another boy with a shocked look on his face.

"Hiya, Kairi! I'm Hayner. And that scared boy over there is Pence."

"Nice to meet you both." I smiled shyly.

"You and that dog came flying out of a whole in the wall! You nearly gave us heart attacks." The boy named Pence finally said.

"Sorry about that. Anyway, what is this place?" I ask.

"Twilight Town, of course!" Pence says.

"Twilight Town, huh?" I said looking around.

"Yup. And this is our hang out place. 'The Usual Spot' is what we call it." Hayner said and made quotation marks with his fingers.

"Oh, seems nice." I said.

"Well, where did you come from?" Pence asks.

"I was actually running away from these creature things on my home island."

"Creature things?" Hayner asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, they were really strange looking. All silver and black with flat top heads. And they danced or swayed."

"That does sound strange." Pence said.

"I wonder why they were coming after you," Hayner said suspiciously.

"I have no idea. Maybe, the guy who showed up with them had something to do with it." I shrugged.

"What guy?" Hayner asked.

"He said his name was Axel."

"Hmm.. Never heard of him." Hayner said.

And Pence shrugged.

"Did I hear my name?" A black portal appeared before us and Axel stepped out.

I gasped, "Oh, no! Not you, again."

Hayner jumped in front of me and said, "Hey! Why don't you leave the girl alone whoever you are!"

"The name's Axel, kid. Got it memorized?" He smirked.

"Yeah? Well, the only thing I'm going to have memorized is when I get rid of you!" Hayner said grabbing his bat.

"Is that so?" Axel chuckled. "Well, I'd hate to have to decline on a challenge, but I'm going to need that girl. We've got some business to take care of."

"Oh, no you don't!" Pence suddenly spoke up hitting Axel with his bat.

Axel chuckled, again obviously not effected by Pence's attack.

Hayner and Pence creeping up on either side of Axel ready to strike him at once.

"Wait! Don't fight!" I said to them. "Fine, I'll go with you."

"Good. It saves them a beating." Axel smirked.

"Ha! Yeah, right." Hayner said.

"As if, you could beat us." Pence said.

"Guys, don't antagonize him. It was nice meeting you two. Maybe, we'll see each other, again." I smiled.

"Doubtful. Come on," Axel said and held out his hand to me.

"Bye, Kairi." Hayner said in unison.

"Bye." I said sadly and took Axel's hand and we disappeared into the portal.
