Ok, you know the things people but in their sigs and you can listen to music on them, where do I find those? Like I need site name or something

Okay, since I'm on my basketball team, it's my job this year to come up with our pump-up music. And I really need some good songs to pick from so I'm hoping you guys can hlep me out here so if you have any good songs that can really make your adreneline going, post 'em here!

Okay, me and my friend have ben haivng this huge fight for like a year now about which game is better: God of War of Kingdom Hearts. So each of us are dividing and putting polls all over the internet about it just to find out. So I'm kinda cheating by putting this on a Kingdom Hearts site but still! All is fair in the game of love and war.

Okay guys, I know I've been really lazy and haven't updated any sotries but I'm going to make a promise to update all three of my stories: Camp Kingdom, Discovering my Past to Uncover my Future and Story of Light All on TUESDAY!!! So bear with me and I hope you guys will forgive me for being such a lazy person. (LOL)

Okay, now Kairi_01 please don't get mad at me but I had this awesome idea so I'm putting "Discovering my Past to Find My Future" and "The Story of Light" on hold for now. I know I haven't posted in them in like a year but you know...I think this one will be cooler as it's not Riku-centric (I know a first for me) and it focuses on all three characters at the same time. Alright, here we go!

This story starts just as Sora, Riku and Kairi get the letter from King Mickey. (So at the end of Kingdom Hearts 2) It'll kinda be like whatever character I write in italics is the one who we experience but I'll still write their names instead of putting 'I' or 'us'. And you know the rest: Anyway, here's the first chapter.

Chapter 1: Home Again, Home Again ​

Destiny Islands: Island
Sora's POV

Sora gazed down at the letter, his blue eyes moving from side to side as he read. Kairi stood at his left-hand side and Riku at his right. Sora read it through once before reading it out loud.

Sora, Riku, Kairi,

Congrats guys! You did a bang up job on the Organization and since then, the heartless and nobodies have started to shrink in numbers by a lot. So, we decided to give you guys some time off. You know, to see your families and enjoy relaxing after two straight years of on the go. Hope you guys have a great vacation!

From
King Mickey XXVII

The three friends gazed at the letter for a few minutes before Riku jumped back onto the paupu tree he had been sitting on. "A vacation?" he repeated from the letter. Sora and Kairi looked at each other smiling. Only King Mickey would think they needed a vacation.

"But that means we'll be going back to fight, right?" Sora asked, looking up at his friend.

Riku nodded, smiling. "I guess we're not out of the game yet. Besides, I can't see spending the rest of our lives here, after what we've seen. Can you?"

The other two shook their heads. "Well," Kairi started, grabbing the letter and folding it into her pocket. "We may as well do what Mickey told us. We can go see our families. I know your parents have been worried sick." She gave Sora and Riku a stern, motherly like gaze and they understood.

Riku jumped back down. "Alright then. Might as well get this over with."

Destiny Islands: Sora's House
Sora's POV

They decided it was better to go straight to their homes rather than sticking together. Sora waved to Riku who just kept walking.

Sora turned to the door and took a breath. He hadn't seen his parents in two years, even if one of those years he was asleep. He thought about what to do and knocked on the door.

He could hear his mother coming down the stairs and had second thoughts about this going alone thing.

"Who's there?" His mother asked in her soft voice.

Sora felt like he lost his voice. "Um...mom?" He said weakly, hoping she heard him.

"Sora?" The door flew open and his mother threw her arms on top of him, tears streaming down her face. "You're okay? I can't believe it! Where have you been?"

Sora's eyes were watering. "I'm fine mom. Um...can I come in?"

She nodded, pulling him into the house. She still looked the same as Sora remembered. She had brown hair that fell down to her waist and bright blue eyes. She still stood a few inches taller than he did.

Sora walked into the kitchen when his father walked in. He on the other hand, had dirty blond hair that had a spikey look to it and brown eyes. He was still a bit taller than his mother.

They sat down around the kitchen table, his mother in tears and his father close to it. "W-where were you?" His dad asked, voice faltering.

Sora took a deep breath and started to talk. He started with the idea that Riku came up with about building a raft to leave the islands and went all the way through to the letter from King Mickey. Some things he kept out such as his time in Castle Oblivion since he couldn't remember, Roxas, Riku's transformation and a little bit about Riku's betrayal. He also left out the part about them leaving again.

His mom walked over and hugged him tight. "I'm so proud of you, my little hero," she said and his dad stood up.

"So, you had quite an adventure. I'm proud of you son," he said giving Sora a rare smile.

"Thanks."

Destiny Islands: Riku's House
Riku's POV

Riku walked up to his house. Yep, it was still painted pink meaning that his mom was still the same. He had no idea how he turned out the way he did because he and his mother were the complete opposite. She was perky, motherly and always concerned for him to an extreme extent while Riku...wasn't.

Riku walked up to the door and half-regretting it, opened the door. "Hey mom? Are you home? It's me. Riku," he called through the door.

A scream came form upstairs and a woman came bustling down them. She had blond hair that fell to her shoulders and blue-green eyes. She was probably Riku's height by now. She ran up to him, hugging him tight.

Riku let her do it, knowing that they hadn't seen each other for two years. Behind her came a man with short dark brown hair. It wasn't his father; Riku never met his dad. This was Eric, his mom's new husband. From what Riku could figure out, his real father left his mother before he was born. He'd never met him but he had been used to Eric since they got married when he was five.

Eric smiled behind them, knowing to give them privacy. His mother, on the other hand, pulled him into the living room and pushed him onto the couch. "Where on earth have you been? I've been worried sick and you never wrote home to tell me you were okay! Ever since that storm I had been crying my eyes out thinking you were hurt!" Riku tried not to roll his eyes. His over-protective mother was sometimes annoying. "And I still see you are the same Riku that I know. Obnoxious, over-confident..." There was a long pause.

"I know, mom. I missed you too," he said, smiling at her. "And I'm not as confident anymore," he added more to himself.

"Well then? Where have you been?" His mother demanded, sitting across from him.

Riku sighed and launched into his story. He left out many pieces hoping his mom wouldn't ask too much. He mainly left out his personal things: him betraying Sora and Kairi, his journey through the darkness, his transformation and especially, Ansem. The thought of his mom hearing that her son had been possessed would be a little too much.

"T-that's a lot," Eric said, sitting down beside his mother.

Riku just nodded and his mom started to rant again. "You had all that time and didn't even let me know you were okay? And what's this about a legendary weapon? You will have no such thing to do with it! You are forbidden to leave like that again! I will not go through that again!" She shouted at him but smiled after a few minutes. Riku gave a weak smile back. After being told that he wasn't even aloud to use his keyblade, he didn't mention the letter.

Destiny Islands: Kairi's House
Sora's POV

Riku and Sora walked down the street to Kairi's house after meeting up. They knew Kairi would be okay since she was only gone for about a month. "How was it at your house?" Sora asked, putting his hands behind his head.

Riku shrugged. "Okay. My mom is still over doing it with the rules but other than that it's cool. How about you?"

Sora smiled. "Awesome. My mom called me a hero!"

"Sora, I hate to tell you this but you are a hero."

"Oh...right..."

They looked to see Kairi coming down the street, looking mad. Instantly, the two boys got ready. A mad Kairi was a bad Kairi. She walked up to them and mumbled something.

"What was that, Kairi?" Sora asked, looking at her with concern.

"My parents are sending me to summer camp."

"What?" Sora and Riku shouted at the same time. "Summer camp? But why?" Sora asked, shocked.

Kairi sighed. "They say they want me to interact with more people my age rather than go out on adventures."

"But that's not fair!" Sora shouted at once. "It's not your fault. Axel kidnapped you! Didn't you tell them?"

Kairi nodded and heard a voice call her home. "I have to go. Bye Sora. Riku." She took off back to her house and Riku and Sora each went back to their own homes, hoping to enjoy a nice long sleep in an actual bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Destiny Islands: Riku's house
Riku's POV

Riku walked into his house, shutting the door behind him. He started to walk up to his room when his mom called him into the kitchen. He sat down, looking puzzled. "We've decided to send you to summer camp," his mom said after a silence.

"What?" Riku raised an eyebrow.

His mother smiled at him. "It's time you forget about all that dangerous battles and make some friends other than Sora and Kairi. Don't look so sad. You'll be at the same camp as your friends."

Riku sighed in relief and went upstairs to call Sora.

*bring bring*

"Hello?" It was Sora.

"Hey Sora."

"Riku! Hey! What's up?"

"Not much. Do you have to go to this stupid camp too?"

"Sadly. Can you imagine us with normal people?"

"Or any people at all."

"Oh..." There was a pause. Sora didn't like to bring up Riku's time alone if he could help it.

"Anyway, we'll have to be careful."

"Why?"

"Sora, we can't just start summoning our keyblades and practicing! Just because the Organization is gone, doesn't mean that all the threats are. Don't forget, we left Maleficent in the World That Never Was."

"Oh yeah. I almost did forget about her."

"Yeah, so the remaining heartless will be on the lookout for us."

"Right! No keyblades. Got it."

"Alright. I got to go to bed. I don't remember the last time I actually slept in one."

Sora laughed and hung up. Riku put the phone down and fell into bed without even changing.

Okay, after much thinking about this...I still have no idea what I'm going to do so we're going to make it up as we go! And you know what happens next: Anyway, here's the next chapter!

Chapter I: Fights and Orders​

They stepped out of the portal. King Mickey, a small mouse, looked around. "Doesn't look like he's home." They were inside the manson of Twilight Town. Everyone who lived in the town thought that it was haunted. the perfect place for keeping Sora hidden.

Behind him, Riku appeared. He had on the black cloak of the Organization. Covering his eyes was a black cloth. It didn't even matter that it was there. He could sense everything around him. Besides, he didn't want DiZ to see that happenned at the Academy. "He's downstairs, in the computor room."

Mickey looked up at him, even though Riku couldn't see him. "Another ability?" The keyblader nodded. "You're really starting to freak me out here, pal." Riku chuckled and walked up the stairs, towards the basement. The King trailing behind him.

Riku tapped the button on the electronic pad. "Yes?" A deep voice said as if out of no where.

"You wanted to see me," Riku replied, getting annoyed with the mysterious man, very quickly.

"Ah, yes. Riku, please come in." Riku looked down at Mickey. The tiny King nodded and walked out the door they came in. For some reason, he and DiZ couldn't get along very well.

Riku walked inside and the door shut behind him. The only people he could sense in the room were DiZ, himself, and Namine. The young Nobody ran up to him. "Riku! You're-" she stopped sudennly, gazing at him. "You've changed and maybe not all for the better."

DiZ was sitting on a chair working on his computor. He glanced back at them before turning back around. "Been spending a little too much time in the darkness, have we?"

Riku didn't show any of his anger. "You're one to talk," he replied and DiZ laughed, making a few more keystrokes. "Why did you want to see me?"

DiZ turned around. "Well, I require your...unique talents in a mission of sorts. With Sora out of the picture, I've set out to find a sort of replacement for him."

This time Riku did show his anger. "Replacement? He's not something that you can just toss on the shelf and find a new toy, you know!" he said, temper rising.

"Calm yourself," DiZ suggested, turning back to the computor. "Your anger was your mistake. Your jealousy your demise. I cannot have someone in my organization like that."

"I'm not a part of your stupid group!" Riku shouted, stepping forward. "If you don't want my help then fine! I'm outta here!" He turned around, making for the door.

Namine looked at DiZ with a cold stare, silently telling him to do something. "You won't even here what it is?" The keyblader stopped at the door. "I thought so. I need you to go to Organization XIII and find for me a boy named Roxas."

Riku turned around. "Roxas? Wiat, that sounds like-"

"Sora? I know. It is his Nobody." DiZ explained.

"Nobody? I didn't even know. Does-"

"Yes, his magesty knows." A silence fell between them. "Well?"

Riku turned back around. "Find yourself another delivery boy," he snapped.

"It would help Sora wake up." Riku stopped and glanced backwards. "You'll find him in The World That Never Was. I can open a portal for you if-" DiZ started but the keyblader was already out the door.

Namine walked over, looking at the computor. "He has a lot of loyalty, I give him that."

"I know. I only wonder how far he will go to save someone he cares about."

"You think he will go back to the darkness?"

"He already has begun to."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~​

Chapter II: Axel, Xigbar and Roxas​

Riku stepped out of the Corridor to Darkness. The world he was in...it was amazing. The very feel of it made him seeth with power. He stepped out of the alleyway and heard voices approaching. He backed up, peeking around the corner.

"Geez, lighten up Xigbar. I'll get around to it, eventually."

"Eventually being the key word Axel?"

"Exactly. I don't like to rush things."

"If you keep putting it off, Superior is going to toast your firey hide."

"What worse could he do? He's already suspended me from missions."

"Well, if you keep your attitude up, he might reconsider."

"C'mon Xiggy. You're up there in ranks. Can't you just give me and Roxas an assignment. The little man's getting bored."

"And curious. You have to be careful around him, Axel. He knows you know something about his past life and he won't rest until he's squeezed it out of you."

"Yeah yeah, keep your eyepatch on."

"Axel... I won't hesitate in giving you a mission but you have to be careful on what you say."

"Awsome! I owe you one big time, man."

"Yeah, you do. Um...you can go and...I dunno...find stuff out on other worlds, I guess."

"Oh, travelling? Excellent."

"We had better get back up to the castle."

"Right-o."

The two voices disappeared and Riku felt it safe to step out. So there were two of the Organization. Axel and Xigbar. The one, Axel, had mentioned something about getting an assignment with Roxas. He had to find this Axel and Roxas so he could capture Roxas and bring him back to DiZ. This was starting to sound hard.

After looking around five different worlds, Riku was starting to loose hope, fast. There were millions of worlds. How should he know what one they would be on? If Roxas was Sora's Nobody, that meant he would be naturally attracted to worlds that Sora had been to before. The next stop was Hollow Bastion.

Riku walked down the empty street. Strange. Usually Hollow Bastion would have people wandering around, fixing up stuff. A large bang sounded from near the Restoration Site and he took off towards it.

There was Axel and Roxas, playing around. Riku guessed that's what they usually did during an assignment. Axel was throwing fireballs, like baseballs and Roxas was trying to hit them as far as possible with his keyblade.

Riku couldn't help but chuckle. This really was his Nobody. He jumped down, while maintaining his secrecy. He 'looked' around the corner. The two were done playing thier version of baseball and started to walk. They were too far away to hear so Riku had to get closer. He jumped back up, walking along the trail above them.

"So, Roxas? Got any exciting plans for the rest of the week?" Axel asked, looking down at him.

Roxas shrugged. "Not really. With half the Organization gone, things are getting boring. I was thinking of hanging out with Demyx tomorrow though."

"Not a chance. He just upgraded his sitar."

"Again? I mean what upgrade is this? 11.9?" They both laughed. It reminded Riku of how he and Sora hung out. Before all this. Before the keyblade. A black shadow rose up from the ground in front of the Nobodies. they pulled out their weapons; Axel using his two chakrams and Roxas using Olbivion and Oathkeeper keyblades.

They easily killed the heatless and smiled at each other. Axel laughed. "Hey, we make a pretty good team. Nothing can stand up against us!"

Roxas tapped him on the shoulder. "Nothing but that?" He said, pointing behind them. Axel turned around, eyes wide. A huge heartless had appeared. It wore black and silver armor and was easily five times the size of Riku. It had a huge thick black sowrd and the heartless symbol shown on its chest.

Axel threw his chakrams at it but they bounced off, barely making a scratch. "This could be a slight problem."

Roxas nodded. "Y-yeah." He said nervously. He charged at it, bringing his keyblade down on it. The huge soldier stumbled but stood up, slamming Roxas with its sword. He went down and Axel ran over to him. "I'm fine," Roxas said, standing up.

Up above them, Riku was trying to locate the heartless' weakness. He finally found it. On its back was a weak point. About a foot in diameter. An easy target. He drew his keyblade and jumped into the air, stabbing it in the back. It fell down forward, in front of the two Nobodies who were in awe.

The heartless disappeared in a dark cloud and Riku lowered his keyblade. Axel raised his chakrams. "Well, that was nice of you but we could have handled that guy," he scoffed and walked up to Riku. "Who are you anyway?"

Roxas walked up and stood beside Riku. Why was this guy so familiar? He knew him although they had never met. "I'm the one who just saved you from being killed," Riku replied and saw Roxas' eyes widden. He did recognize this guy.

Axel also looked at Riku with questioning eyes. "You carry a keyblade? You wouldn't happen to be Riku, would you?"

Riku nodded. "You heard of me?"

"Yeah, at Castle Oblivion. You were the kid that Vexen and his gang were trying to control," Axel said and his chakrams disappeared as did Roxas' keyblades. "I'm surprised you're still in one piece."

Roxas was still looking at Riku. "Do I...have we met, before?" he asked, a little nervous and curious at the same time.

Riku shrugged. "Well, not literally," he replied but Axel grabbed him and dragged him away from Roxas. "What?"

"Be careful of what you say. Roxas still doesn't know that he's the Nobody of your keyblade hero friend," Axel said in a whisper.

Riku 'looked' over at Roxas. "I wonder who would give that order."

Axel looked at him. "The Superior. Well, his real name is Xemnas."

"Xemnas...the sounds like..." Riku's head went down.

"Ansem? Yeah that heartless was made when Xemnas became a Nobody? I hear you have a close connection with the Superior's heartless."

"I wish I didn't." Riku walked back towards Roxas. "Listen, I need to talk to you but not now. Can you meet me here tomorrow night, around the same time?" Roxas nodded, looking confused but before he could say antoher word, Riku had disappeared into a Corridor.

Okay, I know I said I would write a sequel to Undercover but this is an excellent idea and I don't want to forget it! So here we go!

Okay, here's a summary or more like a thing of what the sotry's gonna start out as. (Isn't that a summary?) Once again, it's a Riku-centric story. This is after Kingdom Hearts 2 just as they get the letter. Well, the title said this but you know, it'll be a combonation of FFVII and Kingdom Hearts revealing why Riku and Sephiroth look so similar. (Not that this is the reson they do. This is just something I made up.)

Chapter I: The Letter From The King​

Sora, Riku, Kairi,

First of all, a congradulations is in order. You guys did a great job with defeating the Organization. We plan on throwing a party at Radiant Garden but it'll have to be postponned. As you know, we left The World That Never Was but Maleficent and Pete were still there and they have taken control over the heartless. Good news, bad news. The good news is that there are no more Nobodies anymore, apart from Roxas and Namine. Bad news, we need your help again. Meet me at Radiant Garden. We'll talk more when you guys get there.

I am yours most sincerely,
King Mickey

Sora lowered the paper, sighing. To his right stood his best friend Riku, looking more at the ground than the paper as Sora read it outloud. To his left was the girl he loved, Kairi who was looking at Sora with questioning eyes.

Riku walked back over to the tree and sat down on it again. "Why didn't we think of them before we left?"

Sora shrugged. "I dunno. Well, they kinda saved us from battling a tonne of heartless."

"That's right," Kairi added, nodding her head. "We do owe them a little bit."

"We don't owe them anything," Riku snapped. Sora turned away form them, looking at Kairi. They both knew why Riku had this attitude toward Maleficent. She was the one who got him involved in the darkness in the first place. She's the reason why his life is so twisted.

Sora looked at the paper again. "Wait, we're supposed to meet the King there. So how are we going to get there?" He looked around, hoping something would happen because he said it.

"Well, we have to think of something, don't we?" Riku said and Kairi looked at them with a mother-like glare.

"What?" they both asked at the same time.

Kairi stared at them. "You know perfectly well what. You guys haven't been home at all. Don't you think your family misses you?"

Riku shook his head. "No. The islands came back and I didn't return so my family assumes that I'm dead."

Sora and Kairi looked at him. "How do you know that?" Sora asked, astounded.

"I did a lot more than look after you while you were asleep, Sora," was all that Riku said as a reply.

"Like what?" Sora asked, tyring to find out again. This was his second attempt. The first time he asked, Riku said that it was none of his business.

"I don't really want to relive that moment in my life just so you can know, Sora," Riku said, coldly. Sora caught the hint and looked over at Kairi, wondering if she had any ideas.

"Well, his magesty wouldn't leave us here without a-" Kairi stared and a huge gang came form the water. A large wave rose and just grazed the top of the island. "-ship?" she finished and laughed. The two boys laughed also. A Gummi Ship had landed in the water just as she was talking. It was so close that they could walk up and touch it.

Riku walked up to it and noticed a piece of paper taped on it. "I forgot you guys need transportation. Mickey." He read from the paper. The three friends laughed and climbed inside.

Sora took the controls while Riku was co-pilot and Kairi just a passenger. "You sure you know how to fly this, Sora?" Riku asked, a little nervous.

Sora nodded. "Of course I do," he said confidently and pressed a button. A laser fired, hitting a tree that went flying. The other two looked at him, wide-eyed. "Ha ha. Wrong button," he said and pressed the correct button. The ship rose into the air and they sped off towards Radiant Garden.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter II: Angels, Warriors and Darkness​

They landed on Radiant Garden, stepping out of the ship and looking around. The place looked that same as ever. They started to wlak when a group of soldier heartless appeared in front of them. They were about to destroy them when the town's defense mechanism destroyed them all with one blast.

"Whoa." Way to keep it simple, Sora. They walked to Merlin's house and Sora pushed open the door.

"Get outta here, ya bunch of heartless scum!" Cid's voice came and Sora felt something hard and metallic hit his head.

"Oh, it's Sora!" Aerith shouted and ran over to him. "Are you okay?" she asked, sounding extremely worried.

"Y-yeah. I'm fine," Sora replied weakly. Behind him, Riku and Kairi were trying not to laugh. They steppped inside. "Hey guys," Sora said giving a slight wave to everyone. Cid Highwind was working on the computor now, after hitting Sora in the head with a pole. Aerith Gainsborough was now standing beside Yuffie Kisaragi who was waving back. Squall Leonhart (Who prefered to be called Leon) was beside Cid and Cloud Strife was leaning against the wall, eyes closed.

Riku and Kairi gave everyone a once over, having not seen them in a while. Well, Riku had never met any of them before. His eyes lingered on Cloud last of all and Cloud looked up at him, opening his eyes. They held gaze for a while before Riku broke away.

Sora cut in. "So, have you guys seen the King?"

"He's over at Ansem's study. You should head over there," Leon said and turned back to Cid's computor. Sora nodded and guided Riku and Kairi outside.

They walked toward the study, encountering no heartless. Riku walked in first this time, opening the door. "Your magesty?" he called inside as the three walked inside the study.

"Over here," A squeeky mouse voice called. They looked over to see the King of the Worlds bent over a book. "Hey fellas! I'm glad to see you made it alright."

Sora nodded. "Yeah. No worries," he said, confidently.

Riku rolled his eyes. "Anyway, why did you want us to come here first, Mickey?" he asked not caring about sounding formal. Sora and Kairi looked at him. As far as they knew, no one called the King by only his first name but they didn't fully know the relationship Riku and Mickey had entered during their time in the Realm of Darkness.

Mickey looked up. "Well, mainly because I wanted to talk to each of you. Seperately." The three friends looked at each other before looking back at the King. "Don't worry. You guys aren't in trouble." He added, judging by the look on their faces.

Riku and Kairi waited as Mickey talked to Sora first. The keybalde mastre wakled out of the room, giving a slight nod to Riku before Riku walked inside. He walked in and sat in the chair, across from Mickey.

"I'm not telling them," Riku said right away, knowing why Mickey was going to talk to them.

"Why not? They're your friends, Riku. You have to start trusting that they can handle what you've got to tell them," Mickey comforted.

Riku groaned, putting his head in his hands. "How would I tell them? How am I supposed to tell Sora that I actually did enjoy spending time in the darkness? How am I to tell him about what I did to save him and most importantly, how am I to tell him that he is my father?"

Mickey sighed, looking at him. "You'll find a way. Why don't you tell them now? It'd be better to get it over with sooner."

Riku nodded and stepped outside the study, looking at the ground. Kairi made to go see Mickey but Riku stopped her. "I...I have to tell you something. Both of you," he said, not looking at either of them. Before he could say another word, a crash came form outside and they ran towards the noise.

"What is that?" Sora asked in wonder. A huge heartless, resembling a giant boar had landed on the ground. Apparantly, the town's defense mechanism wasn't strong enough to kill it.

Sora summoned his Ultima Weapon, Riku the Way to the Dawn and Kairi's new keyblade, Oathmaker. Across from them, Cloud, Leon and Yuffie were there. Together they managed to bring down the heartless before it destroyed any homes.

Leon and Yuffie walked back to Merlin's while Cloud hung back. The three keybladers dismissed thier keyblades and walked over to him. Cloud turned to them. "You remind me of someone," he said to Riku.

The keyblader of darkness gave him a confused look. "Really? You kinda look familiar too, now that I think on it."

Cloud walked over, sword still in his hand. Riku took a step back, cautiously. Cloud brought his sword down, cutting Riku's bandage on his right arm. The other two let out a gasp.

Riku's right arm had green strands of something running up it and finally disppearing near his elbow. He glared at Cloud who sheathed his sword. "Geostigma," Cloud muttered to himself.

Riku summoned his keyblade. "Big deal," he said and brought his own weapon down, cutting off Cloud's left sleve. He had the same thing. "You have it too." He dismissed the Way to the Dawn.

Cloud nodded. "Yes but why do you have it? Only those who-" he stopped sudennly and looked into Riku's eyes. "No way," he said actually showing some fear. "You can't be his-?"

Riku nodded and walked away, not wanting to finish his statement. Sora and Kairi ran up form behind him. "Riku, what was he talking about? And what exactly is that?" Sora asked.

Riku didn't answer for a bit. A silence fell. "This is why the King wanted to talk to me."

Sora started to get frsutrated. Trying to get information out of Riku was like trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip. "But what is it?" he asked again.

Riku stopped and looked out at Radiant Garden. "Sora. You asked me what I was doing while you slept. Well, this is part of it." He took a deep breath and Sora and Kairi listened hard. "It's called Geostigma. It only appears on a person when they have something called Jenova's cells inside them. Jenova is an alien from a world called Gaia. It's the world that Cloud is from which is why he has it too."

"But you've lived on Destiny Island forever," Sora interupted.

"I know," Riku replied. "I got it from my father." This sentence disturbed Sora since Riku had never known his father. The man his mother is with isn't related to him. He's just a step-dad. "My true father. See, when you were sleeping, I decided to try and find my father since I was told that he died and I didn't believe it." There was a pause. "I found him but it wasn't who I expected."

Sora cuoldn't contain himself any longer. "Who was it?" he asked, eagerly.

Riku sighed and backed up from him. "Sora, I had no idea that I was this. I hope you won't think I'm going back." Sora was confused. Riku, go back? He meant back to darkness but what is he talking about. Riku closed his eyes and took a deep breath. There was a flash of light and Sora and Kairi threw up their arms to block their eyes.

When the light stopped they looked up. Sora was so shocked he felt like he going to faint. Kairi felt the same. Riku still looked the same. Well, almost. His eyes had changed. They almost glowed with magic and his pupils were like slits. But most noticeable of all was that he had something coming out of his back. It was ebony and almost three-quarters his hieght. It was a wing.

My sexy and awsome friend Mandaa wrote this. *washes tounge off*

Chapter 1
"Sage, Darling, please speak to us."
Sage turned a deaf ear towards her Mother, hands crossed over her chest stubbornly. She heard Mothers footsteps echo across the wooden floors, followed by the shut of a door. Sage let out an uneven breath, shaking terribly.
It had only been - what? Two days? And they were already begging for her forgiveness? There was nothing to forgive! What they did was uncalled for; unheard of! Those.. Those..

"No.." she breathed out, teeth clenched, "Anger feeds."

The door opened with an eerie creak, her younger brother. The little boy poked his head in sheepishly, looking over the corner at his sister. His brown eyes were wide and innocent, and puffy and red from crying. Had he felt the sadness she felt? She wondered absently.
"Sage.. he.. dead?" the boy whimpered. Sage felt the tears rush into her eyes. The entire moment - the entire mistake - flashed before her eyes causing the heart wrenching terror of aloneness. Of knowing that you’re beloved has been lost. Had he kept his mouth shut none of this would’ve happened.. They would’ve lived peacefully, even with the hostility of being caught. It added danger to their lives, added excitement into their love.. Ah, the fragilities of life.
She felt the little boys warmth before she had realized she had opened her arms for him. He came quickly, and cascaded herself into her arms, crying heavily.
Is this what it’s like to be a Mother? She thought wearily, wiping her eyes. Her hand stroked the top of his head gingerly.
"Hush.." she muttered, "Hush.. All is well, Little Jack."
He shook violently in her arms, sobbing so loudly that Sage thought the entire household on this side of the River could hear him. She held him tighter and began rocking back and forth while murmuring sweet words into his ear.
Two days.. My God, only two days? It felt much longer. The days were dreadful. It was mechanical. There was no more spunk in her life, no more spark. It was as if someone had came and dumped the entire damn ocean on the little flame she clung to for life. She couldn’t wake anymore to his face, or see his smile.. kiss his lips. No, that was gone from her, for eternity. Just how long was an eternity?
She had sworn to see his face the other day, the day after his demise. She heard him announce himself to the family. The exact words he had said before it happened.
"I love Sage!" he announced earnestly, hooking an arm around her waist. "And I won’t let man or God get between her and I."
"You fool!" Sage screamed out, startling the calming body in her arms. In turn, he began to weep again, in unison with her, "You bloody fool!" she sobbed loudly, tears warping her words.
I love Sage! The words echoed painfully in her mind, like the repeated beatings of a torturer. I love Sage! Emotional Blackmail. I love Sage!
"Shut your trap!" she shrieked, "I love you! Do not do this to me!"
Little Jack squirmed in Sage’s arms, but she did not feel it. Not until he had wrapped his own around her waist and squeezed tightly, head pressing on her chest.
"I love you." he whispered, "I love you, Sister."
Sage calmed, her muscles relaxed. She stroked the top of Jack’s head, eyes shining.
"Yes, I know you do, Hunnie." she smiled half-heartedly, "I love you, too."

****

The Garden was a marvelous place. It was the only place that she felt completely at peace, away from the hustle and urgencies of the homestead. There was no need for worry in the Garden. The insects minded their own business, and occasionally did stop by your person to say their own friendly greetings. And there was no fear for animals, unless one feared a bunny rabbit.
There were various sized cobblestones in a path that had wedged themselves into the ground over time. The path of rocks had no specific pattern, only wherever Mother Nature had decided to plop them in.
Sage jumped onto the stones one-by-one, remembering how him and she used to play games through-out the stones. They had pretended that everywhere else was cursed ground, ground that would kill you if you stepped upon it. So you must jump from stone to stone, to save your life.
She firmly placed one foot on the "cursed" ground, stomping it in violently, then sighed. Seems as if the ground lost its curse along with his life. If it was really cursed, she would be venturing through the spirits with him, and being happy once again. She would be away from this world and it’s pains.
Sage stomped the ground once more and huffed. The game had lost it’s fun spirit. There was no one left to play it with her. She made an exaggerated movement that was border-line between agitation and grief. She turned her head upwards towards the sun, the light illuminating the golden brown-red hair of hers. The wind picked it up lightly about her shoulders, hovering it there for a few moments, then resting it dove-like back.
There was a flicker of movement in the trees. The smaller birds chirped loudly and flew off from their nests in a display of colourful confetti. The larger birds squawked irritably but stayed their ground. There was a small cascade of black feathers as one - or more - bird were snatched up as prey.
Sage narrowed her eyes and raised one hand to block the sun from distorting her view. What the hell was that thing? She thought to herself. It moved quite stealthily through-out the trees, and noticeably quiet for its large size. She caught a glimpse of its body, or at least a part of it. It was like nothing she had ever seen before. It was completely flat, with glimmering sheets of skin on it that seemed so delicate in contrast to the rest of it. Large tubular veins - she believed they were - held the shimmer together. It opened gracefully, and just peaked over the trees. The rest was lost in the clutter of wilderness.
She opened her mouth to speak. Moments passed without sound, only the steady beating of her heart and the deep pants of her breath. She closed her mouth.
There was no word to describe what she had just seen. It was beautiful yet grotesque; frightening yet peaceful; gentle yet so dangerous, all at the same time. It stunned her beyond the comprehension of her mind.
Sage felt a strange sense of kinship with the large creature. Even though she could not identify who - what it was, she felt attached to it. As if she was a mouse lead to decadent cheese, she began to approach the forest. Slowly at first, but gaining in speed quickly.
Carefully she stepped over rocks and twigs, steering herself away from crunching grass and staying a good distance from any animal she could startle yet the beast seemed to jump at her presence. Golden eyes narrowed at her through the trees like a larger version of those ridiculous ear bobbles her Mother made her wear every so often. She flinched, halting her advance.
She wrinkled her nose at the smell of something foul, and closed her eyes against the bright glare of sunlight across its.. teeth? Sage felt herself wobble in her spot. Holy God, was the thing going to eat her? What the hell made her come towards it in the first place?
"Um.." she gulped loudly, shivering. "I. . . I will not harm you."
It bucked as if it was a horse and let out a piercing roar causing Sage to scream. Abandoning all pursuit on the new beast itself, she swerved around and ran for home, heart hammering in her ears.

Summary: Okay, I got a little lost with my Story of Light, Twilight and Darkness Trilogy so I'm starting a new story. Don't worry though. I will finish the story of light. So anyway, this takes place after Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Riku and King Mickey have left Castle Oblivion and returned to Disney Castle. Now, the King has given Riku the assignment of going to school? Yes, school. The King decided that Riku should recieve a full education and as soon as Sora wakes up, he'll be joining Riku. At least that's what the King says but certain events come that prevent that and is the svhool more than what it appears to be?

Chapter I: Getting to School

Riku sighed and put his elbow on the egde of the window and his hand on his chin. This was so not a good day. "Do I have to?" he asked for the millionth time.

The King who was at the front of the ship nodded. "Yup. We need everyone to be thinking when battling."

"Well I'm thinking that I'd rather be battling," Riku muttered under his breath.

"What was that?" Mickey asked turning around for a second.

Riku shook his head innocently. "Nothing." They sped along the highway of the worlds. He was headed for school. Apparntly, the King cared as much about his education as his mother did when he was on Destiny Islands. "How am I supposed to fit in with all the other kids?" he complained, trying to get out of it.

Mickey smiled. "You will. Your not that different from everyone else."

Riku gave a fake laugh. "Yeah. After all, most people can control the powers of darkness, wield a legedary weapon and travel around with the King of all worlds." Mickey just smiled again and kept driving.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Gummi ship landed on the ground with a light thud. Riku jumepd out of the ship, landing slowly on the ground. The King waved form the ship as it took off into the air. He hoped he would see it within the day.

Riku walked up to the school. It was a fair size with five floors. The school colour was a deep red and black so the school was made of red bricks. Overall, it looked like a pretty old school. Great. Just great. I get to go to school with a bunch of ordinary people. This'll be an adventure all on its own.

Chapter II: First Period: Gym

Riku walked inside, looking down at his schedule. He had gym first. Thank Kingdom Hearts! I have something that doesn't require me to think first.

He walked into the gym and looked around. The gym walla where painted red and black, like the school colours and a huge mascot, a dragon was painted on the wall. He had to admit it looked pretty cool. He walked over to where the rest of the class stood. Being a public schoo, they didn't wear uniforms. Nobody was wearing gym uniforms either. They all looked pretty bored.

Riku walked over and looked at his different classmates. Nobody was talking. They were all just looking around. A bang sounded form in front of them and a teacher slammed open the door. It was a guy who looked built. He was super muscular and had thick arms like a gorilla. Riku had to supress a chuckle because he kinda looked like one too.

"Class," he said and everyone smiled, holding in laughter. The guys voice was a little...wimpy. At least for a body built like his. "Welcome to the Academy. I hope you all enjoy your years at The Academy for the Gifted."

Riku picked up his words. Gifted? Mickey sent me to a mental institution. Oh no, he thought to himself before paying attention again.

"First of all, you will be sorted into different groups accoring to your...abilites. I'd like you all to partener up and have a short battle with your partener. I will then tell you which group you will go in," he instructed and stepped to the side, leaving the class to pick their parteners.

Riku just stood there, waiting and thinking. Battles? Abilities? Mickey didn't send me to a mental institution, he sent me to a place where people with powers train. Like I need training.

"Hey, you wanna partner up?" a voice called to him. A girl walked over with blond hair and blue streaks through it.

Riku sighed. "I don't want to hurt you," he said, trying to be nice.

"Oh, don't be such a kill-joy. You won't," she said, grabbing his hand and pulling him to a spot on the floor. "My name's Emily, by the way."

"Uh-Riku," he said, trying not to smile. He didn't want to hurt her.

"Ready?" she asked and Riku gave a nod. Instantly, Emily charged at him, pulling out a staff out of nowhere and swinging it down at his legs.

Riku jumped into the air, dodging it. "Whoa. You're pretty good," he commented, landing on the ground.

Emily smiled. "And your really fast but can you fight as well as you impress girls?" she asked, getting into a fighting stance.

Riku smiled back. "I guess you caught me," he said and stuck out his left hand. A flash of light blasted the room and his Way to the Dawn keyblade appeared in his hand. Everyone stopped fighting and stared at him. Even Emily stood up, clearly in shock. "Uh...what?" he asked, weakly.

Emily walked up to him, throwing the staff to the ground. "I can't believe it. You...you're a keyblade master?" she asked in awe.

Riku backed up and looked at his keyblade. "Well, yeah. If I wasn't could I use this?" he asked, holding it up for her.

Emily nodded. "I guess so but you guys are like legendary. Your supposed to be the greatest heros of all time. So, what are you doing in a dump like this?"

Riku put up his hands, defensively. "Hey, I didn't ask to ocme here. The King made me."

Emily's eyes widenned. "The King? You kow King Mickey? The King Mickey?"

Riku sighed. Maybe he should just stop talking. "Yeah. You know. We travelled together a bit," he said leaving out the realm of darkness.

The teacher walked voer and wrote something on his clipboard. "Alright then. Emily, Riku, you two both belong to the House of Twilight," he said and walked to observe other groups.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That night, Riku finally made it to his dormatory, dodging other questions from fellow Twilights. He had learned a lot that day. Apparantly, there were three groups of students. The ones of Light, Twilight and Darkness. Each had their own rooms and stuff like that. Emily had been telling him all about the school, while trying to ask questions about him.

Finally, Emily gave up and they went to the common room to sit down away from people. "So, you really are a keyblade master," she said sitting in another chair, beside him.

Riku sat down, tired. "Yes," he said for the tenth time. "And yes I've travelled with the King and battled Heartless. Any other questions?"

Emily could tell he was getting irritated and stopped asking. "Nope but I can't wait until tomorrow to see what you can do. Good night," she added and walked to her room.

Riku sighed agian and walked up to his own, falling asleep in his bed without even changing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter III: The Second Day of School

Riku went to the Dining Hall where everyone ate and sat down beside Emily. "Well, the first ady could have gone better," he said, helping himself to toast.

Emily laughed. "Well, at least you won't have to explain what you are anymore. Already, the entire school knows about you."

Riku growled. "Just what I need. More publicity," he joked and Emily gave a chuckle. "What have we got first?" he asked since Emily was in all his classes.

Emily checked her paper in her pocket. "Let's see...we have History with the Light's and then Combat Practise with the Dark's," she said and put it away.

Riku sighed. "Perfect. I hope by the end of the day, I'm dead." Emily laughed again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Defensive and Offensive Magic Class...

Riku's head dropped down and Emily gave him a nudge. The teacher spoke in a monotone which made history even more boring. The teacher just seemed to drone on like a robot. It was mindless work.

"I'm glad that's over," Riku said after class.

Emily chuckled. "Oh please. That was pretty intersting. He told us a lot about the history of the worlds."

Riku smiled at her. "Yeah, except I already know all of it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's my entry for story of the week!

Chapter 1​

Destiny Island-Island

Riku sighed, looking up at the sky. He laid on one of the paupu tree branches, wondering what the others were doing. Sora was more than likely with Kairi, 'taking a walk.' They had been seeing a lot of each other lately.

Eager footsteps sounded from behind him and Sora jumped over the tree, leaning on the other side. "Hey, Riku. What're you doing out here? Kairi and I were worried that you didn't want to talk to us."

Riku turned his head away from Sora's gaze. Sora looked at him, "You miss it, don't you?" the keyblade master said, concerned.

Riku nodded. "How can you not? I wanted to come home so badly, and now all I want to do is leave again. I miss everything we did, Sora. I miss travelling from world to world; battling bad guys; all that stuff. I even miss thwarting Nobody and Heartless plans. I miss the adventure."

Sora sighed and looked out to the distance. "Yeah. So do I. Battling with the keyblade; Donald and Goofy; and especially..." He stopped there.

Riku sat up and looked down, smiling. "Rescuing Kairi?" he finished and laughed. "I don't mind Sora. Kairi and I...it wouldn't work."

Sora looked up. "Then...I guess I can tell you. Riku, Kairi and I are...well...we're kinda going out. Well we are going out."

Riku caught his breath. "Really?" he said, unsure of what to say.

Sora sighed. "Y-yeah. Well, I'd better get going. See ya later Riku," he finished and ran off.

Riku jumped down from the tree. Well, that was...interesting. I should be happy for them. Sora and Kairi are made for each other. After all, their Nobodies like each other too. I just wish some adventure or excitment would come my way.

That night: Riku's room

Riku tossed and turned as flashes of his past filled his dreams. Flashes of how he and Sora closed the door to Kingdom Hearts and how he, Riku, transformed into Ansem. He jumped awake, breathing hard.

Riku fell back down, rubbing his head. He looked out the window and saw it was still dark. He got up and grabbed his clothes, changing quickly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 2​

Destiny Island-Island

Riku walked out to the shore and looked to the distance, where the moon was in the middle of the sky. "I wish something would happen!" he shouted angrily, kicking sand into the air.

"Really? I suppose you didn't expect someone to answer, did you?" a female voice came. It was very teasing, like insulting was a past time.

Riku did a 360 turn. "Show yourself, coward."

"Now is that any way to treat old friends?" And a Corridor to Darkness appeared. A person stepped out, wearing the traditional Organization XIII uniform. She, for it was a female, lowered her hood, revealing bright blond hair that was a little long. She smiled, her green eyes, piercing the darkness.

Riku took a step back. "Larxene? Your alive?"

Larxene laughed coldly. "Of course. How can one that doesn't exist die in the first place?" she said and took a couple steps towards him.

Riku stood firm. "What do you want?" he said and the Way to Dawn appeared in his hand.

Larxene shook a finger at him. "Now that isn't nice, little Riku. You asked a question, so I'm coming to give you an answer."

Riku lowered his weapon. "What are you talking about?" he demanded.

"You asked to be taken away from this island, so that's what I'm going to do," she replied and a Corridor to Darkness appeared behind Riku.

He gave a quick glance backwards. "Yeah, right. Probably leading to some twisted world," he said, raising his keyblade again.

Larxene put up her hands defensively. "Hey, I'm just following orders," she said and took a step. Before Riku could realize what was happening, the Savage Nymph hit him it the back. His keyblade slipped from his fingers, hitting the ground and he was unconscious before he even hit the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Castle That Never Was-The World That Never Was

"Incredible. Simply incredible."

"Xemnas will be very pleased. His abilities are astounding."

"It's a good thing that he told us to scan in more detail or we never would have found all this power."

"I know. If we hadn't modified his abilities earlier today, he'd be able to kill us."

Riku's eyes fluttered open, weakness over-taking him. "W-what...w-where am I?" he said weakly.

Two people in black robes turned to face him. One had dirty blond hair and was a male. His hair fell down to the middle of his waist and he wore a firm expression. The other male had blue-black hair that fell in front of his face. He stood in a position like he was thinking. Riku also knew them both by name.

Zexion was the first to speak. "He is awake." Way to keep it simple.

Vexen nodded and turned to face a computer he had been typing on. "Yes, and all vital signs are functioning normally. It's like nothing happened..." his voice trailed off. Riku took this time to look around. His wrists and ankles were chained with black glowing chains. The room they were in was pure white but with a couple Nobody symbols here and there.

Zexion walked around Riku, examining his body. "Nothing seems different from when we last met," he said finishing in front of him.

Riku's eyes narrowed. "If you forgot, I defeated you last time," he spat angrily.

"With much luck and with the help of the darkness," a deep voice sounded. Zexion back off and stood beside Vexen. A corridor of darkness appeared in front of Riku and a hooded man walked into the room.

Zexion and Vexen bowed. "Superior," they murmured quietly.

The man did not acknowledge their presence but focused on Riku. "You are...different. You reek of the realm of light and your true power is hidden behind a mask of your actual self."

Riku glared at him. "Look who's talking. Stop hiding behind that hood and come out, Xehanort," he said angrily.

The man lowered his hood, and Xemnas stood, orange eyes flashing. "I would talk nice to me, Wielder of Twilight."

Riku glared angrily. "You don't have any power over me. I can easily destroy you like last time."

Xemnas laughed. "I think you'll find that the tables have changed," he said and raised a hand.

Riku's body went tense. "Wha- why can't I move?" he said attempting to move.

Xemnas lowered his hand and Riku was able to gain control. "I think you'll find I am very in control." He turned to Vexen and Zexion. "Take him to my quarters and no one is to disturb us unless I say," he said and disappeared. They nodded and Riku felt a surge of pain run through his body. And than it was black...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 3​

The World That Never Was: Xemnas' Room

Riku's eyes opened slowly and he stood up, looking around. He was in another white room that had nothing but a small desk at the end. A corridor to darkness appeared and Xemnas appeared. "Confused? Let me open your eyes," he said and walked to his desk, standing in front of it.

"You probably wonder how I can control your body," Riku nodded. "Well, I won't tell you. It is for me to know and for you not to know."

Riku growled in anger. A black aura surrounded him. He calmed down. "What have you done to me?" he said looking at himself.

Xemnas chuckled. "Nothing, yet." The Nobody pulled out one of his laser swords and hit Riku in the stomach, sending him to his knees. "It's time you realized who you really are," Xemnas said raising a hand over Riku's lifeless body. He could only watch until he slipped into unconsciousness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Riku woke with a start. "What a weird...dream?" he said and looked around the room he was in. He was laying in a bed that was pure white, in an Organization XII uniform. The room was white also with nothing more in it.

Riku stood up, rubbing his head. "I must be still dreaming," he said to himself and took a step to the door. A mirror caught his eye to his left and Riku stopped. He went to the mirror, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"What did Xemnas do?" he said looking at himself. His eyes had changed from sea blue to almost a deep purple. His hair looked a little spikier and had black steaks running through it.

Riku looked in the mirror, unable to accept what was happening. A Corridor to Darkness appeared behind him and Riku whipped around, already knowing who it was. "W-what have you done to me?" he stammered.

Xemnas chuckled coldly. "I have done nothing. I only opened up what was hidden deep in your heart," he said simply. "A nice change though, to be sure."

Riku's eyes narrowed, anger flowing through him. "Well I don't like it! Change me back to normal!" He shouted and stepped back. Dark flames rose out of the ground, almost triggered be his anger.

Xemnas looked around, analyzing the situation. "Interesting. I wondered when your abilities would appear."

Riku calmed himself down. "Abilities? What are you talking about? What have you done to me?"

The Nobody leader shook his head. "You really are as clueless as when you began. I have given you an amazing gift and all you do not even thank me." Riku gave him a look. "Not that I even care. No, this 'gift' of yours will be the very thing that will finally open Kingdom Hearts to me," he finished and disappeared into a Corridor of Darkness.

Riku swore and flames rose out of the ground again. I have to keep calm and think. There must be some way of contacting Sora. Telling him what's going on might help but it doesn't seem like Xemnas will just let me do that. I'll have to bide my time and see what happens.

Footsteps sounded behind him and Zexion walked into the room. "If you’re done destroying the place, come with me. I have something that I'm positive you'll like," he said and walked off.

Riku looked at the door. "Something I'll like? There's only one things I'll like..." he stopped realizing what Zexion must have meant and ran after him.

Well, since I tried doing the one were they went to Spira and that went horrible, this will be the actual story so nobody read my previous garbage.

This is for 01_Kairi who has been following my story since I started writting it and for my little sis who is always my biggest fan!

Chapter 1: Surprises​

Riku remembered the King telling them that time between world's isn't relative. No kidding, Riku thought as he walked along the beach on his home of Destiny Islands. He looked out at the sun setting, recalling the previous couple days.

When he left Sora and Kairi, Riku had no idea what he was going to do. After travelling a bit and defeating countless heartless, he ran into King Mickey. The King had asked him to join a group he was started that dedicated itself to fighting heartless. Riku signed up without hesitation.

So, he started to travel around, seeing many worlds and fighting heartless. Slowly, the creatures of darkness started to thin out but they always seemed to come back somewhere else. Time was running out to solve the problem.

Then, Riku went to Disney Castle to find that King Mickey was missing. No one knew where he was. It was complete chaos. So, he decided to ask help from a very good friend. Riku went to Destiny Island but what he fround wasn't good.

Riku stepped out of the Corridor to Darkness which he travelled through and gazed around his home world. It looked the same as when he left. He walked down the path to Sora's house, keeping his violet eyes peeled for any signs of trouble.

It had only been a year, as far as he knew, and Riku hadn't changed much. His silver hair still had black streaks in it and all that really changed was that he was bout two inches taller. However, he soon found out that his best friend had changed alot.

Riku continued to walk and turned to Sora's house. Instantly, a boy, around 12 ran out of the house. Riku raised an eyebrow. It wasn't Felix, his half-brother but the kid looked familiar. He had spikey hair that was brown-red in colour. It sorta looked like...but it couldn't be.

Riku walked up to the door when something caught his senses. It was a heartless and it was a little tough. Probably around five of them. Sora won't mind if I bust his door down to save him, he thought with a smile. He kicked the door and it flew open, while his keyblade appeared in his hand.

Riku ran into the kitchen, slashing two heartless. He didn't even notice the other two people and ran into the living room, killing the last three with precise accuracy.

"You haven't lost your touch," a voice came from behind him. Riku turned around and nearly dropped his keyblade. "And you haven't gotten any different either, eh?"

Riku's eyes widenned. "Okay, what happenned? I haven't been gone that long," he said more to himself. It was like looking at an older Sora and Kairi. Kairi had long red hair that almost came to her waist and was almost as tall as Riku but Sora was a little more different. His spikey hair has deflated a bit so that it didn't look like it was everywhere and he was taller than Riku now.

Kairi ran over and gave him a hug but Riku was still in shock. He pushed her back after a few seconds still staring at them. "Um...yeah. I must be dreaming. All this battling is going to my head," he said with a chuckle.

Kairi smiled at him. "No, I figured it out. See, you've probably been travelling to so many world's that time between them is having little affect on you while here...well...it's been around fifteen years."

Now Riku really did drop his keyblade. It fell to the floor with a clang. "F-fifteen years? N-no way," he stuttered, shaking his head.

Sora nodded, leaning on the table. "Yeah, that's what we're thinking and here's you who's only one year older," he said and laughed.

Riku smiled weakly. "W-well...what's happenned?" he asked and the keyblade at his feet disappeared.

Sora sat down in a chair and Kairi sat beside him. "Well, Kairi and I are married now." Riku only nodded, unable to speak. "And we have a son. You might have saw him running outside. We both finished school, and right now...well... I have a job but Kairi is staying home to look after our son."

Riku sighed, unable to take it all in. "Well, you've been busy," he said sarcasticly. "All I've done if fight heartless which hasn't been going well. Oh yeah," he said remembering why he came in the first place. "I need your help. The King is missing and without his we're done for," he said, jumping up.

Sora and Kairi looked at each other. "You'd better tell him," Kairi muttered to Sora.

Riku heard it easily. "Tell me what?" he asked, knowing whatever it was, it was bad news.

Sora sighed. "Riku, thing have changes alot for us. I can't help you save the King. Let's just put it that way," he said and started to walk away.

Riuk sent a blaze of fire blocking Sora in. "Sora, what are you talking-" he stopped sudennly. That was why Sora wasn't fighting the heartless and why he really wasn't happy to see Riku.

Riku's keyblade came to his hands and he looked at it. "You...you can't use the keyblade anymore," he said, throat dry.

Sora nodded. "Yeah. It happenned a couple years after we came back home. Heartless came to the island and Kairi and I tried to fight them but..."

"But the keyblade wouldn't come to you," Riku finished for him and the flames around them disappeared and his keyblade vanished. "What are we going to do now?" he asked, confused.

Sora smiled. "Well, I may not be able to use the keyblade, anymore but we hoped that this thing would be sorta...blood related," he said and Riku smiled too.

"So you think your son will be able to," Riku said, trying not to sound too happy.

Sora nodded. "Yeah. but I really don't want to tell Thay about this."

Riku almost laughed. "Thay?" he started but Kairi shot him a look and he ended it there. "I've got an idea. Just send him out to the island tonight and I'll deal with him there," he said and vanished in a corridor.

"You better be gentle with him Riku!" Kairi shouted and they could hear Riku laugh as he left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well that is much better than the garbage other story!!!

Well, here's the next installment and hopefully not my last. Anyway, here's the chapter.

Chapter 1: A Whole New World​

​

Riku jumped down form the pillar, shoving the note from Sora into his pocket. His sivler and black hair barely moved in the quiet wind and his violet eyes scanned the area with utmost loathing. He was currently in Hollow Bastion, or as it's now called, Radiant Garden. Even with the name change, he could still sense Maleficent's precense even though the witch was long dead.

Riku gazed around. It was a little too quiet. He left his friends for adventure and all he was getting now was boredom. He took a step forward and a Corridor to Darkness appeared behind him. A man with flaming red hair that seemed to stick up in all directions walked through it.

"Hey, Riku. Long time, no see?" he said, giving a small wave.

Riku smiled. "Good to see you too, Axel," he said and Axel walked beside him.

"Well I wouldn't be," the Nobody commented with a smile.

Riku gave him a confused look. "What are you talking about?"

"Well, I still work for the Organization, remember?" Riku nodded. "So unfortuanately my good pal, I have to do this." Another Corridor to Darkness appeared right in front of them. Riku stopped sudennly and took a step back but was pushed inside it by Axel. "Have fun," he added with a wave and disappeared with a laugh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Riku stumbled through it, attempting to regain his balance. His vision had gone black. Riku stood in the dark for a few moments before light started to appear. He looked around unable to clearify where Axel had sent him. Everywhere he looked, there seemed to be blue, glittering trees. It also seemed like he was standing on a huge tree.

Riku took a step forward and seemed to rock back and forth. His head gave a sharp pain but it was normal by now. It happenned, every couple days. It was a sign that the heartless were tracking him and they had found where he was. Riku was about to think about this more when a scream came out of no where.

Riku took off in the direction of the scream and came to a clearing. He looked aorund to see roughly twenty heartless circling seven people. The one who had screamed wore a blue skirt with beads and white sleves covered her arms. She also carried a staff. Another one wore red and had the precense of a warrior. There was another girl with a black dress, carrying a doll and another one with yellow, orange and green not holding anything. There was two more men, one carrying a ball and another holding a blue sword. Alos, some beast looking blue guy with a spear.

Riku didn't care who any of them were though. He knew it was his duty as a keyblade master to help those in need and these people looked like they needed it. Well the two with the sword didn't but the girl was kinda cute.

Riku pulled out his keyblade and slashed down three of the heartless in one swing, while killed five more with his dark fire. Instantly, the seven turned their attention. All of them confused yet amazed that he could do this.

Riku jumped into the air, killing two with the fire and came down, stricking five down. There was only five left and they disppeared into the darkness.

The woman with the staff walked up to him, eyes wide with shock. "T-that was incredible. We can't thank you enough. I'm Yuna by the way. And these are my gaurdians," she said, gesturing to the crowd behind her.

Riku barely understood what she meant. all he knew was that she was thanking him and she told him her name. He lowered his keyblade, blushing slightly. "Um...yeah. No problem," he said, unsure of what to say. "Uh...I'm Riku," he said attempting to smile. I didn't work.

Each of the seven gave their names. "I'm Rikku, too!" the girl with the orange and green said, bouncing forward. Riku took a step back. "That's with to k's," she said holding up two fingers.

"Auron," the man with the huge sword said and gave him an up and down look as though trying to see through him.

"Hello. I am Lulu and this is Kimahri," the girl with the black robe said, pointing to the beast-guy behind her.

"Name's Wakka and this is Tidus," the guy with the ball said and nodded to his friend.

Riku's mind clicked. That was where he had seen these two. He didn't even remember when he last saw them. It was the day he opened the door. The day that turned all their lives upside down.

"Have we seen each other before?" Tidus asked, as confused as Riku was.

Riku smiled. "Well, yeah. We're friends, or at least, we used to be," he said weakly.

Tidus looked at him. The eyes and black in his hair must have been throwing him off but the sivler hair and air of leadership seemed all too familiar. "Riku? Riku!" he and Wakka ran over to him, almost barelling him over. "What happenned to you? You look...older. And you fight like a warrior and what's that?" Tidus pestered, pointing at Riku's keyblade.

Wakka was doing likewise. Both asking questions about what had happenned when the island was destroyed.

Riku put up a hand laughing. "Calm down guys. I'm fine and are Sora and Kairi. They're home, at the island."

They wlaked to where the seven were camping and sat down around a fire. Wakka started to talk first. "So what happenned to ya, man? The last thing I remember form those islands was that storm."

Riku's eyes trailed along the ground. "Yeah, about the storm...well, why don't you start. You guys won't like what I have to say much."

Wakka sighed. "Alright. Well, the storm came and the next thing I knew, I was in some place. It was an island alot like home. So, a family found me on the beach and took me in. Since then, I've been training as a Gaurdian and living to protect Yuna."

Tidus nodded. "I went somewhere different. A place called Zanarkand. Some mean blitzball player took me in. Then, a couple days ago, that place got destroyed by some thing called Sin. I ended up here and I've been travelling with Yuna ever since then."

Riku nodded. "Well, that's a pretty short story. Just kidding," he said by the look on their faces. "Compared to mine, it sounds like you guys just got a vacation," he muttered but everyone heard him.

"What'dya mean?" Wakka asked, confused. Tidus nodded beside him.

"Well, remember that night the storm came. That was my fault." And so Riku proceeded, telling the group about how he ended up in the service of Maleficent, how Sora was some hero and how Riku gave into the darkness in his heart. He told about how Ansem had pocessed him but made it come from Sora's point of view, rather than his own.

Riku explained how he and Sora closed Kingdom Hearts. He also explained what Kingdom Hearts, the heartless, the Nobodies and what the keyblades where. He added in his adventure in Castle Oblivion and his return to the darkness, followed by his reuniting with Sora and Kairi.

The hardest part was the transformation Xemnas has put him through and his thought while in the World That Never Was. "And now I'm travelling through all the worlds, defeating heartless and trying to save Kingdom Hearts from the Organization."

The group stared at him with awe. How could one person be through so much in only three years? It seemed impossible. Tidus sighed, shaking his head. Riku loked at him. "I still don't believe it. Sora being some legendary hero, Kairi a princess. I don't even know what you are anymore," he added looked Riku in the eyes.

Some darkling, riku thought but didn't say it outloud. Meanwhile the others who had lived in this world all their lives where confused. Yuna smiled. "You must be strong, to go through so much," she said.

Riku smiled back. Something about her smile gave him a warm strength. It wasn't love, more like her presence. She had so much light in her, Riku thought she could pass for a princess.

They talked a bit more before everyone was tired. They went to sleep and Riku sat in a tree drifting into sleep. Nightmares flashed in his eyes. The door to Kingdom Hearts, thousands of heartless and a desert full of keyblades, forming a crossroads.

Riku bolted awake, breathing hard. He jumped down form the tree, careful not to wake the others and stood at the edge of a small lake. He gazed into the middle and saw a bright tree with little lights floating around it.

"Couldn't sleep?" a slow calm voice came from behind him. It was that warrior, Auron. Riku shoo his head without even turning around. "I met Sora once," Auron said, conversationally.

Riku turned around at this. "Really?"

Auron nodded. "Brown spikey hair, a little on the short side, never stops asking questions and thinks he can take care of himself."

Riku smiled. That was Sora. Auron stood beside him. "You didn't tell all of your story," he commented.

Riku sighed. "No, I didn't." It was clear Auron could see the darkness within him. "I left out alot of parts."

"Like why you gave into the darkness and what's your consequence of doing so?"

"Yeah, like that," Riku turned backand looked up at the sky. Before any of this had happenned, he thought the stars were little dots, made by someone to give light at night. Now though, he knew they were other worlds that surrounded the endless cosmos.

"Your tale is hard to believe. I wouldn't have but I've been to other worlds," Auron said and turned to go back to camp.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 2: Spira and its Wonders​

Riku watched the sun rise and realized that he hated this time of the day. It was inevitable and it extinguished all darkness. Probably his only comfort left in the universe next to his friends.

Riku walked back to the camp and saw everyone was awake and looking bright. Yuna smiled as he walked past and Riku smiled back. She was probably the only one who truely understood what he had been through.

It was a little after sunrise when everyone decided to leave. Riku began to turn in the opposite direction from the others when Yuna called back to him. "Come with us," she said and the others nodded.

Riku shook his head. "I shouldn't. I would put you guys in too much danger," he admitted.

Tidus pushed forward. "There's no such thing as too much danger," he said, confidently.

"Unless you're talking about trying to wake Tidus up early. Now that's dangerous," Wakka commented and the group laughed.

Tidus laughed too before he stopped. "Hey wait! That wasn't funny!" he said jokingly.

Riku shrugged. "If you guys really want me to come that bad but only till I find a way to leave, alright?"

Yuna bowed. "Thank you. Don't worry. It'll be fun," she said smiling.

The group walked out of the forest and appeared in a huge plain. "The Calm Lands," Lulu explained. "This is where the summoners battle Sin."

Last night, Yuna had explained to Riku the rules that govern the world called Spira. She told him about Sin and the places and things a summoner had to see and do before they could battle Sin.

They started to walk when black flames surrounded them. Everyone looked at Riku, knowing what his abilities where. "Hey, I didn't do it," he said raising his hands defensively. Yuna was about to walk towards him. "Don't move. Somethings coming," Riku said, trying to to figure out the size of it.

A black portal came above their heads. "Look out!" Riku shouted and extiguished the flames, even though they weren't his. The group dodged out of the way and a a huge purple and black creature appeared. Riku recognized it as the same heartless he had seen Sora fight in Traverse Town, so many month ago. It was an Armored Heartless.

It crashed to the ground and the parts began to move. It looked like this one was a little larger than the smaller ones he usually fought. Everyone drew their weapons at once and readied for the fight.

The heartless gave a roar like a lion's and everything around them turned black. The heartless had almost eaten the light that had existed. Of course, Riku had no problem fighting in the darkness. It was, after all, his prefered eliment. Voices broke through the darkness and he could see the outlines of the rest of the group.

Most seemed to be standing still but Tidus was wlaking around, waving his arms. Riku sighed. "Don't move. The darkness is trying to confuse you, manipulate you. You have to relax and think of something that gives you light," he said, hoping to help them.

Clearly none of them had as much power as Riku thought they had because none of them could see. "Never mind," he said and saw the heartless, circling them. "Just don't move," he added and jumped at the heartless.

It put up its arms and swung them around, trying to hit him bur Riku was too fast. He hit the heartless in all its parts and one by one they fell off. With one final swing, it's body was defeated and it fell to the ground. A burst of light flashed for a second. Everyone seemed to gasp and then sigh as the darkness returned.

Riku watched, unable to do anything as the remains of the heartless moved around and then a dark figure rose out it. All there was to it was a black cloak and the heartless symbol on its chest.

All the heat seemed to drain out of the air and Riku watched as some of the group fell to the ground. At first he didn't know what was going on but then a familiar sense entered his mind. It was the exact same feeling that he had when he was in a twilight realm. The feeling of darkness surrounding him. It was comforting in a way.

He looked up at the heartless and felt his head explode with pain. Give into me. Give into your true darkness. This isn't it. You are still one of the twilight, a cold and familiar voice said in his head. Why do you resist me? We are one and the same, Riku. You need me just as I need you. Join me, your friends need your help and this is the only way to save them.

Save them? You don't mean-

Yes, Riku. They have been taken by the darkness. Once again, the heartless have devoured the world you loved and now they are gone forever.

You liar! They are still in the realm of light.

You don't sound very sure of that. Very well. I will give you time to make a decision. Remember, Riku. The doors of light have closed for you. Only one path remains...

The voice trailed off and Riku slipt into unconsciousness.

Anyway, since no one has replied to this topic in around...two hours...I'll post the next two chapters. (Or one. I'm not sure how much I'll write.)

Chapter 3: The True Darkness​

Riku's eyes blurred as he regained his senses. He knew who that voice was. It was a nightmare. It was Ansem. Not that there was much difference between that.

He looked up to see Tidus kneeling on the ground with Yuna beside him. The others were standing a bit back watching. "Riku, are you okay?" Tidus asked, nervously.

Riku nodded and sat up, putting a hand on his head. It was throbbing like mad. His keyblade was still on the ground a few feet away. It vanished after Riku looked at it. He looked around again. Everythnig was back to normal.

"W-what happenned?" he asked, hoping someone knew.

Yuna looked at him, wide-eyed. "Well, everythnig went black, then we heard some banging and asumed that was you killing that heartless. Than a flash of bright light exploded from somewhere and this cloaked figure rose up. I'm not sure what it did because as soon as I looked at it...it felt as though every negative thought, hate, anger was being pushed forward. Then someone, someone who felt like they controlled all the darkness laughed. Then, we all blacked out. When we woke up, you were laying on the ground and it looked like black flames were surrounding your body. We couldn't get close to you to wake you up."

Riku looked at the ground. Had he condemmed them to the darkness, just as he had with his own home. "Wait, something's wrong," he muttered to himself. The feeling of darkness still hung in the air.

Yuna looked down at him. "What's wrong?"

Riku paused trying to find out. A cold laugh rang in his head. Ansem. He shook his head. "It's nothing. C'mon. We should get moving," he said, standing up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They travelled for a few more hours, not saying anything. Riku was completely lost in thought, thinking about what had happenned. Before he knew it, they ahd arrived in a city that looked like the walls had been painted. He looked around and saw a door in which the group was heading towards.

Riku sneaked over to Lulu. "Wehre are we going?" he asked in a whisper.

Lulu smiled. "To see Maester Seymour Guado. He has asked that Yuna meet with him so we must come."

Riku rolled his eyes. Why do people always do what they're told? Only weak people do so. People with weak hearts...he shook his head. Ansem's presence was still there, filling his mind with thoughts...

They walked through the doors and were met by a man with spikey hiar. "This way, please," the man said pointing to another door.

They walked inside and Riku saw someone who he thought Sora could really relate too. In appearnce anyway. The man was an average hieght with blue hair that was so spikey, Riku was amazed he could fit through doors. He wore a blue and purple robe and carried himself with elegance.

"Lady Yuna," the man siad and bowed to her.

Yuna bowed back. "Maester Seymour. It is a pleasure to be ehre," she said politely.

Seymour smiled. "I hope you are enjoying your stay here in Guadosalim."

"Yes, very much so," Yuna replied in the same polite voice.

"Lady Yuna, if you be so kind, I'd like to ask you a question. If your Gaurdians could leave us for a moment. It is rather important." Seymour said, glaring at them all. His eyes lingered on Riku for a second. Riku cast him a cold look and Seymour smiled again.

Yuna nodded and everyone but her left the room. They waited outisde, in silence. After a few moments, Yuna stepped outside, looking overwhelmed. Lulu rushed to her side. "What is it, Yuna?"

Yuna smiled. "H-he asked me to marry him," she said simply.

Everyone stared at her. Tidus turned away as though holding something back.

Wakka smiled. "That's great. Have you answered?" Yuna shook her head.

"Well ,take your time," Lulu said, comforting her.

Yuna nodded and walked off, back to where they were staying.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was nighttime and everyone was starting to go to bed. Riku could sense Yuna's feelings and went to her room, in an attempt to cheer her up. He knocked on the door. "Come in," came Yuna's voice.

Riku pushed the door open. Yuna was sitting on her bed, still in her clothes. As was Riku. "Hey, Yuna," he said sitting beside her.

Yuna smiled. "Hello. I was wodnering, why no one was talking to me."

"That's simple," Riku replied. "We all thought you needed time to think."

"Thank you." Yuna paused. "But I'm still not sure what to do," she admitted.

Riku sighed. "That really isn't my area of expertise. All I can offer is that you do what your heart tells you," he said and looked down. "Not that it will do much," he added, thinking of his past.

Yuna looked at him. "Why? Your heart is the most loyal thing you have. You sohuld always trust it."

Riku kept his eyes fixed to the ground. "Well, when a demon lives in there, it's hard to even look inside let alone trust it," he said, coldly.

Yuna looked away from him. "I'm sorry. I didn't know. Is that why you...you are like this?"

Riku nodded, unable to speak. Yuna looked sad. "I'm sorry for asking that. I shouldn't have asked something so personal," she said, a little embarassed.

Riku shook his head. "Don't worry about it. I've been asked it before. Anyway, Yuna, we both should get some sleep," he said, standing up.

Yuna smiled. "Yeah. We've got a big day tomorrow," she said excited and Riku left her room with a small wave.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Riku tossed and turned as more nightmares plagued his dreams.

"The door has opened." It was the night of the storm. Riku looked around. He saw a younger version of himself and Sora on the island.

"What?" the younger Sora asked.

"The door has opened," his younger self repeated. "Now we can leave and go to the outside world. We may never see our parents again but this may be our only chance. We can't let fear stop us. I'm not afraid of the darkness."

"Now sentimental," Ansem's voice chuckled through the darkness as the scene vanished.

Riku whipped around. "I'm not. Not anymore!" he shouted and tried to summon his keyblade but nothing came. "What?"

Ansem hit him hard, sending Riku to the ground. "What will you do when your trusty keyblade doesn't come to you?"

Riku coughed. "I don't need it. I can kill you without it."

Ansem laughed. "Hardly. You probably couldn't even kill Sora without it."

"I still have my darkness," Riku said weakly trying to stand but Ansem hit him across the dark ground again.

"Your darkness? I doupt that. Do you know who's darkness that was, Riku? The darkness that helped you defeat Sora, the same darkness that you've been using for these past two months. That would be my darkness," Ansem said and lifted Riku up with invisible bonds.

Riku struggled against them. "No! I can control it now. I've defeated you."

Ansem shook his head. "You have grown so confident, Riku. Perfect for me. I can touch your heart with ease so controlling you is very simple." Riku felt himself stiffen. "You can already feel it now. The complete depair, the feeling of no hope. And no one can hear your cries of help."

Riku felt his heart burst open with pain. "You won't get back in. Never again," he said, trying to push Ansem out.

Ansem sighed. "When will you learn? I am already inside. I can see the dark core of your heart fight against me but what a useless effort. I can give you one last chance, Riku. Make things easier on yourself and give up..."

The dream seemed to fade away as Riku bolted awake, breathing as though he had just finished a fight.

Hey everyone! K_T here with my sequel to my famous, amazing, incredible (someone throws a brick and it hits K_T) Okay, maybe it wasn't THAT good. Anyway, here is the sequel to that story. For those of you who haven't read it, please read it since this is a continuation and has changes to people which you guys won't understand.

Anyway, here is the first chapter, complete with a name. (Instead of just Chapter 1)

Chapter 1: First Day Back home​

Riku slept soundly in his bed, his black curtains blocking all light from entering. Out of no where, a blast of light hit his eyes. "Riku! Wake up! It's time to go," the voice of his mother said. "You better be dressed and downstairs in ten minutes," she said in a mom-like tone.

Riku groaned and lazily got out of bed. He dressed quickly and checked his hair. It still looked the same. There was no way it was going to change back to straight sivler-blue. Instead, there was black steaks in it and his previously sea-blue eyes were now fired with dark purple.

Riku walked down the stairs, rubbing his tired eyes. He plopped down on a chair in the kitchen and looked around. Before he could ask why she made him get up so early when even school for the 'normal kids' didn't start for another hour, there was a knock on the door.

Sora's mother walked in with a very tired Sora. Riku supressed a chuckle. Last night, he, Kairi and Sora went to Hollow Bastion as it's called now, Radiant Garden. Using Riku's ability to teleport, it was easy to get there and back. They had a huge party to celebrate their victory over the Organization since they hadn't celebrated after Xemnas' defeat.

The problem was, that they hadn't come home till around 3 in the morning and had to sneak into their homes.

Sora's mother sat down beside Riku's mother and the two boys sat beside each other. "Now, boys. We have decided on something very important to your future," Sora's mother started.

"We have you enrolled at the same place Kairi goes to so you won't feel completely lost also," Riku's mother continued.

Riku chuckled. "That's really great but what exactly are you talking about?"

Sora's mother put her hands in front of her. "Well, after hearing what you two did while you were gone," at this Riku shot and angry glance at Sora. It was his idea to tell their parents what happenned. Riku was all for syaing that they just stayed at the island for two years but Sora would have it. "We have decided that fighting monsters with legendary weapons and saving worlds does not count as an education."

Riku gulped, knowing what the words would be. Sora looked at him nervously. Riku's mother stood up. "We have decided that you two will go to school, whether you want to or not."

Riku and Sora jumped up. "SCHOOL!?!" they shouted at the same time.

Sora's mouth was open. "Come on! The last thing we want to do is work on our vacation."

Sora's mother looked at him with a cold stare and he sat down. So did Riku. "Vacation? I thought this was a permenent stay? After all, the worlds are safe, so you will do exactly what we tell you or you can go without seeing each other for two weeks."

Riku smiled. "That doesn't matter. I can do that, easily. A break from Sora would be good." Sora looked at him.

Riku's mother smiled which made him stop smiling. "Than you will go without keyblades for one month and without powers."

Riku opened his mouth to protest. "That's not fair! You can't do that!" he said angerly.

"We can and we will," Riku's mother said coldly. Riku stopped talking instantly. That was one thing that the two keyblade masters could never pocess. The ability to make people do what you wanted them too.

Sora and Riku looked at each other. They had no choice. "Alright. We'll go but we won't enjoy it," Sora said, pouting.

Riku scoffed. "Fine. We'll go but we're still aloud to use keyblades and powers right?" he asked desperately. The two mothers nodded. Riku sighed and stood up form the table and walked back up to his room. Sora and the mothers could see black flames exploding from the floor of Riku's room.

This is my first fanfic here but I've made other fanfics on other sites so it shouldn't be that bad. LOL XD. Well, anyway, this is more a story veered in Riku's direction.


A sneak peek...
Riku looked in the mirror, unable to accept what was happenning. A Corridor to Darkness appeared behind him and Riku whipped around, already knowing who it was. "W-what have you done to me?" he stammered.

Xemnas chuckled coldly. "I have done nothing. I only opened up what was hidden deep in your heart..."


Summary: It has been one week since Sora and his friends defeated Organization XII. They returned home with very few questions asked (thanks to Kairi) and now...

Chapter 1
Destiny Island-Island
Riku sighed, looking up at the sky. He laid on one of the paupu tree branches, wondering what the others were doing. Sora was more than likely with Kairi, 'taking a walk.' They had been seeing alot of eachother lately.

Eager footsteps sounded from behind him and Sora jumped over the tree, leaning on the other side. "Hey, Riku. What're you doing out here? Kairi and I were worried that you didn't want to talk to us."

Riku turned his head away from Sora's gaze. Sora looked at him, "You miss it, don't you?" the keyblade master said, concerned.

Riku nodded. "How can you not? I wanted to come home so badly, and now all I want to do is leave again. I miss everything we did, Sora. I miss travelling from world to world; battling bad guys; all that stuff. I even miss thrawting Nobody and Heartless plans. I miss the adventure."

Sora sighed and looked out to the distance. "Yeah. So do I. Battling with the keyblade; Donald and Goofy; and especially..." He stopped there.

Riku sat up and looked down, smiling. "Rescuing Kairi?" he finished and laughed. "I don't mind Sora. Kairi and I...it wouldn't work."

Sora looked up. "Then...I guess I can tell you. Riku, Kairi and I are...well...we're kinda going out. Well we are going out."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 2

Riku caught his breath. "Really?" he said, unsure of what to say.

Sora sighed. "Y-yeah. Well, I'd better get going. See ya later Riku," he finished and ran off.

Riku jumped down from the tree. Well, that was...interesting. I should be happy for them. Sora and Kairi are made for each other. After all, their Nobodies like each other too. I just wish some adventure or excitment would come my way.

That night: Riku's room

Riku tossed and turned as flashes of his past filled his dreams. Flashes of how he and Sora closed the door to Kingdom Hearts and how he, Riku, transformed into Ansem. He jumped awake, breathing hard.

Riku fell back down, rubbing his head. He looked out the window and saw it was still dark. He got up and grabbed his clothes, changing quickly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 3
Desitny Island-Island

Riku walked out to the shore and looked to the distance, where the moon was in the middle of the sky. "I wish something would happen!" he shouted angerly, kicking sand into the air.

"Really? I suppose you didn't expect someone to answer, did you?" a female voice came. It was very teasing, like insulting was a past-time.

Riku did a 360. "Show youself, coward."

"Now is that any way to treat old friends?" And a Corridor to Darkness appeared. A person stepped out, wearing the traditional Organization XIII uniform. She, for it was a female, lowered her hood, revealing bright blond hair that was a little long. She smiled, her green eyes, piercing the darkness.

Riku took a step back. "Larxene? Your alive?"

Larxene laughed coldly. "Of course. How can one that doesn't exist die in the first place?" she said and took a couple steps towards him.

Riku stood firm. "What do you want?" he said and the Way to Dawn appeared in his hand.

Larxene shook a finger at him. "Now that isn't nice, little Riku. You asked a question, so I'm coming to give you an answer."

Riku lowered his weapon. "What are you talking about?" he demanded.

"You asked to be taken away from this island, so that's what I'm going to do," she replied and a Corridor to Darkness appeared behind Riku.

He gave a quick glance backwards. "Yeah, right. Probably leading to some twisted world," he said, raising his keyblade again.

Larxene put up her hands defensively. "Hey, I'm just following orders," she said and took a step. Before Riku could realize what was happenning, the Savage Nimph hit him it the back. His keyblade slipped from his fingers, hitting the ground and he was unconscious before he even hit the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 4
The Castle That Never Was-The World That Never Was

"Incredible. Simply Incredible."

"Xemnas will be very pleased. His abilities are astounding."

"It's a good thing that he told us to scan in more detail or we never would have found all this power."

"I know. If we hadn't modified his abilities earlier today, he'd be able to kill us."

Riku's eyes fluttered open, weakness over-taking him. "W-what...w-where am I?" he said weakly.

Two people in black robes turned to face him. One had dirty blond hair and was a male. His hair fell down to the middle of his waist and he wore a firm expression. The other male had blue-black hair that fell in front of his face. He stood in a position like he was thinking. Riku also knew them both by name.

Zexion was the first to speak. "He is awake." Way to keep it simple.

Vexen nodded and turned to face a computor he had been typing on. "Yes, and all vital signs are functioning normally. It's like nothing happenned..." his voice trailed off. Riku took this time to look around. His wrists and ankles were chained with black glowing chains. The room they were in was pure white but with a couple Nobody symbols here and there.

Zexion walked around Riku, examing his body. "Nothing seems different from when we last met," he said finishing in front of him.

Riku's eyes narrowed. "If you forgot, I defeated you last time," he spat angerly.

"With much luck and with the help of the darkness," a deep voice sounded. Zexion back off and stood beside Vexen. A corridor of darkness appeared in front of Riku and a hooded man walked into the room.

Zexion and Vexen bowed. "Superior," they murmured quietly.

The man did not accknowledge their prescene but focused on Riku. "You are...different. You reak of the realm of light and your true power is hidden behind a mask of your actual self."

Riku glared at him. "Look who's talking. Stop hidding behind that hood and come out, Xehanort," he said angerly.

The man lowered his hood, and Xemnas stood, orange eyes flashing. "I would talk nice to me, Weilder of Twilight."

Riku glared angerly. "You don't have any power over me. I can easily destroy you like last time."

Xemnas laughed. "I think you'll find that the tables have changed," he said and raised a hand.

Riku's body went tense. "Wha- why can't I move?" he said attempting to move.

Xemnas lowered his hand and Riku was able to gain control. "I think you'll find I am very in control." He turned to Vexen and Zexion. "Take him to my quarters and no one is to disturb us unless I say," he said and disppaered. They nodded and Riku felt a surge of pain run through his body. And than it was black...

Chapter 5

Riku's eyes opened slowly and he stood up, looking around. He was in another white room that had nothing but a small desk at the end. A corridor to darkness appeared and Xemnas appeared. "Confused? Let me open your eyes," he said and walked to his desk, standing in front of it.

"You probably wonder how I can control your body," Riku nodded. "Well, I won't tell you. It is for me to know and for you not to know."

Riku growled in anger. A black aura surrounded him. He calmed down. "What have you done to me?" he said looking at himself.

Xemnas chuckled. "Nothing, yet." The Nobody pulled out one of his laser swords and hit Riku in the stomche, sending him to his knees. "It's time you realizd who you really are," Xemnas said raising a hand over Riku's lifeless body. He could only watch until he slipped into unconsciousness.

Riku woke with a start. "What a wierd...dream?" he said and looked around the room he was in. He was lieing in a bed that was pure white, in an Organization XII uniform. The room was white also with nothing more in it.

Riku stood up, rubbing his head. "I must be still dreaming," he said to himself and took a step to the door. A mirror caught his eye to his left and Riku stopped. He went to the mirror, unble to believe what he was seeing.

"What did Xemnas do?" he said looking at himself. His eyes had changed from sea blue to almost a deep purple. His hair looked a little more spikier and had black steaks running through it.

Riku looked in the mirror, unable to accept what was happenning. A Corridor to Darkness appeared behind him and Riku whipped around, already knowing who it was. "W-what have you done to me?" he stammered.

Xemnas chuckled coldly. "I have done nothing. I only opened up what was hidden deep in your heart," he said simply. "A nice change though, to be sure."

Well, that's it for today. By everyone.
