[ So last night, I was laying in bed awake thinking about all of the fanfics I'd read on here (which isn't so many) and somehow came up with the beginning of my own. Later, I finally came up with some sort of plot-ish thing... If it has been done before, so sorry. I'm kind of new to the fan-fic universe. Tell me what you think, okay? ] Chapter 1 ;; Destiny Islands The dazzling sun turned the atmosphere a blend of red and pink as it shrunk into the horizon. Water from the vast ocean kept a methodical pace, rushing up the white sand and falling back on itself. The evening sky was mostly clear, with the exception of a few clouds. A beautiful sunset on the charming Destiny Islands. On a small island decorated with wooden fixtures, there were only two boats docked. If one was looking out to the sea from this small island, to the left of the docks was a tiny piece of land seperated from the rest. A bridge scaled the gap between the two high pieces of land. It had lush trees sprouting out of it. One tree in particular was not like the others because it bent horizontly until its leaves hovered off of the side. On this strange tree's white bark lay a figure of about fifteen. Both of his hands rested under his brown hair. One foot firmly positioned itself on the tree, bending his knee so that it formed an obtuse angle. The other leg hung limply. Sora's cheek rested against the bark, facing the sea, even though he was laying on his back. Smooth, even breathing entered and exited the Keyblade Weilder's chest, which was his only movement. Sora had fallen asleep on the tree about an hour and a half before, and he didn't show signs of waking. That was, until a white seagull landed on his stomach. Its small eyes examined the boy, the gull's head cocking to the side curiously. Satisfied that his new perch wasn't going to move, the seagull began pecking at the stomach below him. The bird's beak only pecked the dark blue vest, softly running over the stomach without actually pinching it. Sora, waking ever so slowly, started to uncontrollably lauch at the tickling sensation. As the bird kept pecking, Sora kept laughing. He was aware, but not awake. Unfourtunatly, the gull managed to nearly peck off a piece of skin, Sora's body snapping awake. "Yeee-ow!" He yelled, jumping up into a sitting position. This scared the bird away, squawking. Sora watched it go angrily. Finally, he shut his eyes, taking deep breaths. He laid back on the tree, figuring he could get in a few more minutes of rest before having to go home. His legs were in the same position, but his arms lazily crossed over his belly. Plus, his face was turned so that he was facing the island. Sora's blue eyes remained closed. "Stupid birds and their stupid pecking..." Sora muttered. Suddenly he got the image of Donald pecking at something while swimming in a lake or pond. A crooked smile crossed his lips. How long had it been since those two had gone home? Almost two months. Sora's eyes squinted open, expecting to see the wooden bridge, the shack, or maybe even a tree. However, his eyes met with a perfect pair of blue eyes. They were so close to his face, they were the only thing he could see. It took a moment to register Kairi's prescence, but once Sora did, he repulsively jumped back... ...and off the other side of the slim bark. Somehow, his body did a 180 and Sora's face pummeled into the shallow sand. Kairi giggled, a light, musical sound. Sora didn't removed his face from the ground, he only groaned. How does she do that? He thought, placing his hands like he was doing a push-up beside him. Using what upper body strength he had, Sora managed to reached his feet, dusting the stray sand from his attire. Kairi was standing next to the tree, her forearms laying on it, and her head resting on those arms. She looked at Sora with a hopeful expression. He rubbed the back of his head nervously. "So you're ticklish?" Kairi giggled, lifting her head off her arms. "What? Uhh.. no!" Sora waved his hands in front of him. Kairi only giggled more, "Hey, where is everybody?" Sora looked around the empty island. It was almost too quiet. "They went back home. Riku was going to wake you, but Tidus thought it would be funny if you woke up here all on your own. I think he might have thought you would sleep here all night." Sora yawned, "You might have, sleeping beauty." Sora rolled his eyes. He moved across from Kairi, placing his own forearms on the tree. The white bark was like a table seperating them. "And you stayed because..." "Oh, I didn't stay. I went home, too." Sora was disappointed, "But I came back because your mom was worried." "She's become a pain. I can barely spend a day out here without checking in every thirty minutes..." "She doesn't want you to disappear again." Kairi defended. Sora shrugged. "So, I was thinking..." "Great. This oughta be good..." "Hush!" Kairi slapped his arm, "When you were in Halloweentown..." "Ughh...." Sora groaned, hiding his face behind his arms. He gently banged his forehead against them. Over the past two months, Kairi had been asking him non-stop questions about his travels with Donald and Goofy. For the forst week or two, she had just asked him generic things, like what had happened. Then she slowly started to get more technicaal, forcing Sora to think more about a minor topic that had never occured to him before. Now her questions were just repetitive, like Sora had any new answers. "What's wrong?" Kairi was taken off guard. This was the first time Sora didn't even listen to her questions. "Don't you think we've had enough of these... these... interrogations?" Sora sighed, looking into Kairi's innocent eyes hopefully. "I didn't get an adventure like yours and Riku's. Don't I get to know how much fun you had?" Kairi pouted. Sora examined her delicate face, finding no faults. Still, he was so tired of this discussion that his rational thoughts rushed out of his head. Or maybe, rushed to Roxas' mind instead of his own? Whichever, Sora wasn't thinking clearly "Well you know what?!" Sora stepped away from the tree, "Why don't I just show you everything I saw?!" He said, pointing to the sky. Both of them froze. Each was in a different category of shock. One was excited, the other couldn't believe he'd just said that. "No, no, wait, wait!" Sora tried to take it back, but Kairi was lost. Lost in a daydream about all the worlds Sora had told her about. Her eyes met Sora's and he noted, with sudden greif, that there were a million stars dotting them. "Will you Sora? Will you take me to the worlds you visited?" Sora was helpless, shyly staring into Kairi's eyes. There was probably more shimmers in them than the night sky could hold. Sora bit his lip. He couldn't bring himself to deny the request, as much as he wanted to. No matter how much he thought about the Heartless or Nobodies still haunting most of the worlds, his head couldn't refuse. Sora's head shook continuously, trying to clear it. His brown hair swished accordingly. He had to tell her that was impossible, too dangerous. Sora opened his mouth to speak. "Sure!" He didn't recognize that denial. It was like a different language. Surely Kairi would understand what it meant. Obviously, it couldn't mean he would. No, that couldn't be his answer. So why was Kairi's smile growing bigger and bigger?
