Kindom Hearts: The Shadow Plague

"A girl...........It wasn't I don't think, I mean I wasn't me..........I was somebody else.......perhaps a boy? He loved the girl, her name escapes me though," I said in a moment of confusion.

"The... the name you were saying... Kairi?"She asked, hoping to give her friend a clue.

All the while, she was focused on not only Riley's dream, but her own as well.There were so many unanswered questions.Who was the man, what was the item that he had given the girl, why did he push her through the portal, who was the girl, more importantly, who was Kiana, and where was she from.

"Kairi!" That was it, the name that I had been searching for. My mind began to race and my pulse quickened with my new knowledge and I felt as if I knew this girl.................It scared me.

Kiana wrapped her arms around her friend, a feeling telling her that she needed it.

"Riley..."She whispered.

She knew that she had to get this off her chest, and she trusted Riley more than anybody, at least she thought.

"I'm scared... we're both learning so much.... we need to figure it out.... but... a part of me doesn't want to know."She said admiting that she was truly and deeply scared.

"That man... he saved me... but why... is this real... or not..."she murmured.

I sayed silent for a moment, my heart racing. Didn't want to know? I......I wanted to know, I had a secret and I couldn't remember if I had told her or not........but........

I didn't remember anything before moving. Nothing, Thats why I had no parents, no siblings no nothing...........

I didn't remember, and she hadn't either...........what had happened and what was happening, I began to shake.

"Riley... he saved me... I don't know why... but he saved me..."She whispered.

Tears began to well in her eyes as she thought about what may have happened to him.He had risked everything he could have had, he had saved her by sending her to another world.And for what, for her to forget about him, and for everything to go wrong.

"No! No more!"She shouted

With that she dragged her friend out of Merlin's house and towards the Gummi Ship.

I suddenly felt her grip my hand, Kiana's face was that of pain and I gripped her shoulder a feeling passing through me. I realized I was passing my emotion on to her, I sent a calm feeling. "Kiana, Stop," I said softly.

"NO! I NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT, I KNOW... I need you... to..."She said losing her confidence.

She stopped short, but soon picked up her pace once more.She continued towards the Gummy Ship

"Kiana, Stop please, I want to figure this out to find out..........why I don't remember," She said slowly.......

"All I know is that we need to figure out exactly what is going on, and that's what I plan to do!"She stated.

She entered the Gumi ship and started pressing a few buttons she had seen Donald input and waited as the ship started to raise.

"Kiana, your acting crazy please we need to go back, we can't just leave them here!" I said frantically. I looked out with a bit of fear. My blade appeared and began to comfort me. "If we're going, Then I want to see Kairi," I said slowly. My heart and soul yearned to meet this person of my dreams.

"They've got the Gummi Ship makers, we've got this one ship, let's go..."She said as she moved for a Planet close by.

The Planet seemed like a building with red symbols and mountains and a bamboo thicket.The ship moved towards it and soon landed in the Thicket quietly.

"The first world..."She Whispered.

Riley nodded and put her blade to her chest ready for the decent, she would battle for Sora, Kairi and.............Riku.

(Uhh... I'm at a loss so could you try to move us along?)

"C'mon," I said waiting for the ship's doors opened. I opened my eyes to see a girl on a horse her blade raised. Her horse was on its hind legs and her blade suddenly pulled down. I screamed and clenched my eyes closed. Nothing had happened. I opened my eyes, nothing, no one. Just a vision of the past, someone elses not my own. I sat on my butt looking around and sighed, Why can't I just get a break? I asked myself.

"Hey you alright?"Kiana asked helping her friend to her feet.

Despite her want to know what was bothering her friend, she started to move ahead.The area was full of Bamboo and the ground was soft greenish grass, the weather fairly mild.As they exited the ship, the voice of something ancient and powerful yet confidence lacking voices were heard.

"Girl you gotta Calm down, so what if he Sora's gone, You've learned everythi-"

"No Mushu, I haven't learned enough to be a hero just like him."

"But Girl-"

"No Mushu"

At the sound of voices I stood up quickly. I pulled my blade out, it sparkled in the light and looked to kiana. My breaths were steady, I didn't know if there was going to be a fight.

"Okay fine Mulan, go ahead, but when you need a Dragon to help you be a Hero don't bother asking me, cuz I just gonna say no, You won't see me again, cuz you messin with the ultimate dragon now!"Mushu went off.

He walked straight into Kiana and Riley and screamed, running back to Mulan.

"'Won't see me again' huh?"

I looked down at the puny excuse for a lizard. I looked at Kiana looking for some sense of what to do. For once she felt she couldn't take charge at this situation.

"Were sorry, we didn't mean to scare your Lizar-"

"DRAGON!"Mushu retaliated.

"Dragon, we were just wondering what exactly was going on."

The other Girl didn't respond she just stared at Kiana and then towards Riley Gasping when she saw the blade.

I looked to the girl who gasped, "Is there something wrong?" She asked, her blade shimmering. She looked down at the supposed 'Dragon' and raised an eyebrow.
