Kingdom Hearts: A New Destiny
Book I - Destiny Island
Chapter I - Destinies Beginning


"I've been having these weird thoughts lately..." Sora pondered to himself
as he opened his eyes. He was in a dark place. The vast ocean surrounded
his tiny body, gently caressing and soothing him as he fell further and
further away from the only source of light.

"...Like if any of this is for real or not?" There was no fear or any other
sensation to speak of, only the enveloping darkness as the light flew
farther and farther away from him.  The sun blinded Sora for a minute or so
as he stood on the sandy banks. It was a particularly beautiful time of
day, as the ocean glittered and sparkled from the sun's light.

"Hey Riku!" He called out to his friend. Sora spotted him standing knee
deep in the ocean, gazing out at the horizon. Riku apparently didn't hear
Sora or was simply ignoring him. He was completely immobile and rooted to
the spot as the ocean waves undulated all around him. Sora started towards
him and then the ocean reacted.  It pulled away from him with such force,
recoiling back as if Sora was some sort of plague.  He looked up in shock
as the ocean reared back like an angry horse ready to charge.  Riku only
stood their watching.  He slowly turned around, flashing Sora one of his
charming smiles and held out his hand for Sora to take.  Sora rushed to
reach Riku, fearing he wouldn't make it in time.  Right when he was about
to reach Riku, the roaring waves crashed into them, completely covering
both boys. The ocean was sweeping him away from Riku. Sora's dreams were
always the same, or so he thought, but this one seemed different somehow.
It was no longer Riku standing there.  This was a different boy and Sora
tried desperately to reach him.  He struggled against the current in vain.
The only thing he could remember were those piercing gold colored eyes.
Sora awoke with a start.  He was lying down on his back. The morning sun
felt warm against his skin while the soft sand cooled his underside.  It
was another beautiful day on Destiny Island.  The birds were singing, the
fish swimming and the salty sea air filled one's senses.  It was a day like
any other day, an almost perfect paradise.

"WAKE UP!" Came a familiar voice.  It was Riku, strolling down the sandy
beaches towards the daydreaming Sora.  Sora was in awe of his best friend.
The way his thin, sturdy body filled out his clothes, the light bouncing
off his platinum white hair, and that killer smirk that always sent shivers
running up and down Sora's body.  He knew not why he had these strange
thoughts of Riku, only that he always felt guilty when he let his mind
wonder as it so often did.

"Hey Sora, off in La La Land again?"  Riku stopped just a few feet away
from Sora, gazing down on him.  Sora only lay there; still basking in his
friend's radiance, though he caught himself before Riku noticed how hard
Sora was staring at him.

"Oh shut up Riku."

"Come on Sora, we have work to do if we ever plan on leaving this rock."
Riku was slightly exasperated at his friend's apparent laziness.  Sora sat
up, allowing himself to fully become awake, thinking about the boat they
had been working on for so long.

"Give me a sec and then we will get started."

"I'll be an old man if I have to wait any longer slow poke," giggled Riku.
Sora could only glare at him.

"Riku, the only time your faster than I is when I'm sleeping, so back off."
Riku feigned a hurt look.

"Oh, so I'm slower than you. Do you think you can back that up?"  Sora had
a lofty expression on his face.

"I'm beating you 3 to 0, so I don't think I will be losing anytime soon."

Riku scoffed, "Ok so lets make it a big race and the winner gets to share a
Paopu with Kairi."  It is believed that when two people share a Paopu
fruit, their destinies become intertwined. At least that was the local
village legend.  Sora blushed deeply.  Kairi was one of his best friends.
He confided in her with everything and there was no one else on the island
that understood him better.  Sometimes she seemed to know him more than he
knew himself.  Yet, Sora couldn't quite think of Kairi as anything more
than friends. She was like his little sister and Sora didn't trust Riku
enough to let him share the fruit with her either.

"You're on, but the loser also has to find the fruit and bring it to the
winner."  While the boys argued back and forth, they failed to notice Kairi
standing there.  She had her arms crossed over her chest, tapping one foot
and had a dangerous cast to her face.  Kairi threw her arms up in disgust.

"MEN! You two act as if I don't have any say in who I would like to share
it with."  The boys turned slowly towards the steaming Kairi with their
heads hung low.

" well... um... you see..." stammered Riku.

"We were gonna ask you..." Sora claimed.

"Geez, give a girl a break. I'd rather share it with a fish, at least they
wont be betting on me like some sort of trophy." Kairi tried very hard to
sound angry, though deep down, she was loving every minute as the boys
squirmed.  Sora and Riku didn't know what to say, they could only give her
the saddest puppy dog expression that each could muster.  Kairi stared at
them for a few more moments, but she couldn't hold it in any longer. She
toppled onto the sand with fits of giggles erupting from her petite body.
The boys blinked, looked briefly at one another, and soon they joined in
with Kairi, laughing away with pure joy.  When the afterglow of the moment
had passed, Kairi stood up, brushing off the excess sand.

"Well are we gonna have this race or not?"  Both boys grinned at each other
and raced towards the other side of the island with Kairi right behind
them.



**********************************************************************************

The ocean was unusually calm this day.  There were no birds soaring in the
distance, no dolphins splashing through the waves and the air seemed deadly
quiet as if it were holding its breath in anticipation.  It was the same
endless cycle for the nearly unconscious boy.  He lay there, in that
rickety old boat that leaked when the waves splashed a little too high
against the boat.  How long had the frail boy laid there?  Days?  Weeks?
The poor chap couldn't remember.  His extreme hunger and thirst mauled at
his senses.  He welcomed the oncoming darkness and coddled unconsciousness
like a security blanket. It offered him a few brief moments of respite.
Evan had fallen asleep and his dreams took over.  Like always, they made no
sense to him.  There was a slightly illuminated path before him.
Everything else, as he looked around, was cloaked in shadows as dark as a
moonless night.  He walked along the path for a time when Evan finally saw
that boy again.  He haunted his dreams from the moment Evan started his
trek across the ocean.  He stood there admiring the beautiful youth.  He
was slightly shorter than Evan and a little bit scrawny, but those
beautiful cobalt blue eyes and spiky brown hair held him entranced.  He
watched the boy dancing back and forth with such grace.  His movements were
fluid, almost erotic.  They held Evan spellbound and provoked parts of him
to life like nothing else ever had.  He longed to be with him, to hold him
and feel him, to be only his and no one else's.  He leapt to and fro,
twirling the Keyblade. Evan's hand went straight to his chest; the charm he
usually kept there was missing.  It was only then that he realized that the
boy wasn't dancing, but fighting to save his life.  He looked on with
dismay.  The ground spewed forth dark, nightmarish creatures.  For every
one the boy had slain, more came forth.  Even with all his grace and skill,
he was no match for such overwhelming odds.  Evan rushed to save this boy.
He was filled with such fright as the darkness swept him up and he knew no
more.

When Even woke up, he was still in the boat. He thought to himself that
this boy was somehow the key to his dreams. But how?  He wasn't able to
ponder those thoughts for long as the ocean waves surged back and forth
violently. They crashed into the old boat, tearing it to pieces.

**********************************************************************************

Sora and his friends headed over to their makeshift racecourse. It wasn't a
very large course, but its natural obstacles more than made up for its
small size.  The boys got ready for today's race, Riku stood off to one
side while Sora stretched his limbs.  Kairi called them both over.

"Are you guys ready?"  Sora and Riky merely nodded as they stood
side-by-side, ready to put their pride on the line.  The air was charged
with adrenaline.  This competition was much different than any other that
the boys went head-to-head in.  Both of the young men had only one thought
racing through their minds, to win, since the prize seemed so much bigger
for the victor.  Kairi smiled and giggled inwardly.  Her short auburn hair
tossed playfully in the cool sea breeze.  She always felt so alive whenever
she watched them compete against one another.  Although she loved all the
attention the boys gave her, she couldn't understand why they vied for her
affection as much as they did.  Riku was gorgeous and he always seemed to
have an air of flawless confidence about him.  Sora was very adorable and a
bit of a goofball, but he was always sincere in his affections and
promises. She loved both of them deeply and would do anything for them, yet
she didn't have those kinds of feelings for them.  The kind of emotions
that made your palms sweat, gave you weak knees and sent your heart
fluttering a thousand beats a minute.  Kairi often wondered if she would
find such a love that would fill the void in her heart, but until that day,
she would fill her life with Sora and Riku.

"Alright, you two know the drill. The first one to touch the star tree and
make it back here wins."  Sora hunched down, his whole body shaking with
excitement.

"Get ready," Kairi announced.  Riku stood there, eyes closed with an
unusually calm expression on his face.

"Get set." Kairi raised her hand, anticipation written all over her face.

"GO!!" Kairi's hand flew down, cheering on both racers as they leapt
forward.

Both boys were off in a flash.  Riku pulled ahead of Sora, his longer limbs
giving him a slight advantage over the trailing Sora.  Riku dashed across
the multiple platforms that connected the starting line with the rest of
the course, his rival hot on his heels.  When they had reached the other
side, Riku took a small detour to the right, heading down the hill into a
valley like part of the beach.  He headed up the beach towards the star
tree; it stood on a small cliff jutting out from the mountain wall.  Sora
had other plans.  While Riku went down the hill, Sora headed up a ladder
that was directly in front of him.  It lead to a little watchtower that the
kids often played in.  He planned on sliding down the rope that connected
to the other tower and from there jump across the treetops straight to the
star tree.  It was fool proof and he would make it there and back to Kairi
while Riku was eating his dust. Sora grabbed a hold of the handles that
were connected to a pulley of sorts.  It would allow him to slide down to
the other tower at breakneck speeds.  He always loved playing with this
contraption, with the wind whipping across his face and an almost
weightless sensation spread over him as the ground flew underneath his
dangling feet.  Sora reached the other side and was about to start across
the treetops when he spotted something far off in the distance.  Sora saw
something floating in the ocean.  Though it was difficult to see clearly so
far away, Sora thought he saw a person.  Riku had reached the star tree and
as he turned to make it back to Kairi, he noticed Sora standing on the
second watchtower.

"Hey Sora! Give up already?"  Riku was smirking.  He was thinking to
himself how easy this victory would be if all Sora was doing was standing
there like a bump on a log. He headed back the way he came, day dreaming
about the delectable juices of the Paopu fruit he would be sharing with
Kairi.  I might even be able to sneak a kiss, Riku thought to himself.

"KAIRI! RIKU! Get over here, quick!" Sora was rushing down the sandy beach,
heading towards the water.  Kairi was down at the oceans edge in a flash,
Riku only stood there, still dumbfounded, wondering what the hell was going
on. He recovered his senses quickly and proceeded over to his friends.

"What's up Sora, trying to worm your way out of defeat?"

"This isn't about some stupid race. Look! There is something out there."
Sora pointed out to the sea.

"What is that?" Riku was intrigued.

"It looked like a person, I think I saw someone floating out there." Sora
waded out until he was knee deep.  It was clear by now that there was a
person out in the ocean.

"I hope they're ok" Kairi's voice mirrored the concern etched deeply on her
face.

"Come on Riku, let's go check it out." Sora dived into the turbulent waters
with Riku in tow. They reached the person in a matter of minutes. Riku was
the first to take a look a good look.

"It looks like some kid Sora." Riku took a look at the frail boy. His long
bluish hair was dingy and plastered to his face. The boy's clothes were
matted and torn and his face looked gaunt, as if he hadn't eaten in a long
time.

"Is he alive?" Sora had never seen a dead person before, and he certainly
didn't want to start now.

"I don't know, he doesn't look too good though. Let's get him back to
shore, and quick!" Riku grabbed a hold of the boy's clothes, keeping a firm
hold of him with one hand while paddling with the other.  Sora got on the
other side and copied Riku's movements, stroke for stroke.  It was slow
going, and both boys feared they wouldn't make it back to the shore in time
to help this poor kid.  After what seemed like an eternity, Riku and Sora
reached the shore, dragging the boy along behind them.

"Kari, go get help! Now!"  She was quick to obey Sora's urgent command,
heading inland to find someone.

"I don't think he's breathing Sora."  Riku's voiced was shaking.  "What do
we do?"

"I--I don't know."  Nothing like this had ever happened before.  Sora was
wracked with indecision, but only for a moment.

"Do you remember those lessons the village doctor taught us? Do you
remember what he showed everyone to do if somebody drowns?"  Sora's heart
was racing and the words came tumbling out of him as he tried to jog Riku's
memory.

"I think so."  He though for a moment.  Riku's eyes lit up and then his
face darkened a little.

"I'm not kissing a boy!"  he stated defiantly.

"RIKU!!  He's dying!  We have to help him before it is too late."  Sora
knelt down beside the corpse like boy.

"You push on his chest and I'll breath air into him."  He motioned for Riku
to join him, yet he hesitated.

"Hurry Riku!"

"Alright, alright!"  Riku got down on his knees, placing both hands palm
down on the boy's unmoving chest.

"Tell me when Sora," Riku said.

"Please let this work," Sora whispered.  He gently tilted the boy's head
back, pressing his lips against the cold lips of the young boy. He breathed
life into the frail body, giving all he had to give.  He continued a few
more times, all the while thinking of how much he wanted this stranger to
live.

"Push Riku."  This time he didn't hesitate.  He gently pushed down, trying
to evoke some sign of life.  They continued like this for a time.  Sora
breathing and Riku pushing. Yet it was to no avail.  The boy would not stir
no matter how hard they tried.  Riku finally stopped his efforts.

"What are you doing!"  Screamed Sora, the tears forming at the corners of
his eyes.

"Its no use Sora, he's dead."  Riku couldn't look at his best friend.

"No!  NO!  We just have to keep trying!"  As if a dam had been breached,
Sora's tears flowed freely, staining his face with its salty sweetness.

"Please don't die," he cried.  Sora breathed harder, wishing for the boy to
live, willing it to be so.  The boy coughed once, forcing the seawater up
and out of his lungs.  Sora cheered, while Riku looked on with
astonishment.

"Don't worry," Sora cooed, pulling the weak boy and cradling him to his
chest. "It's over now, you'll be okay." Sora looked deep into those
beautiful, golden colored eyes when the boy spoke.

"No. it's only the beginning." he said, before slipping back into
unconsciousness.

Back at the Village, Kairi rushed to find the doctor. She found him in his
house, pouring over the many scrolls of learning that lay strewn about on
his table. Great knowledge was said to be stored in those scrolls, for
those who were wise enough to decipher its meanings.  She had burst through
the doctor's doors, completely winded and gasping for air.

"D-doctor... come...accident....on the shore..." Kairi tried desperately to
catch her breath, swallowing huge amounts of air as if there would be no
more air to breath.

"Kairi, please! Calm down and tell me what is going on." He stood up from
his seat, walking slowly over towards the struggling young girl. In his
youth, the doctor had been a very strong and capable man. He had been a
very handsome man and wise beyond his years. Everyone would always seek his
counsel, including the village elders and there wasn't a woman in the
village who didn't swoon with delight at the mere mention of his name. Yet
time wasn't so easily seduced. As the years passed, the doctor moved a
little slower, became more and more hunched and wizened, and a dull ache
settled into his bones that never seem to cease. The doctor wouldn't be
long in this life, and he accepted that fact.  Kairi composed herself, took
one last deep breath and recounted her tale.

"Sora, Riku and I were out playing near the shore. They were racing each
other when they spotted something out in the ocean. When they went to see
what it was, they found some person."

"Was this person alive?" The doctor questioned.  Kairi shook her head.

"I don't know, as soon as they dragged him ashore, they sent me to get
help. Please doctor, you have to come quick, before it's too late."

He merely nodded once. "Show me."

There was quite a commotion that afternoon, as Kairi was racing through the
village with the aging Doctor hobbling after her. Most of the villagers
didn't really pay attention to Kairi or the doctor, thinking that one of
the kids had scraped their knees again or got into some other little mishap
that children so often do. One concerned adult, however, followed after the
duo with a few kids in tow.  The ragtag assortment of villagers reached the
shore only moments after young Evan had fallen into unconsciousness. The
doctor took the boy from Sora's arms, laying him out on the sand so he
could get a closer examination of him.

"What happened?" he questioned the two boys.

"Well..." Sora started to say.

"Sora's a hero, he saved his life." Sora smiled in spite of himself, not
really catching the hint of sarcasm in Riku's voice.

"Well?" The doctor gave Sora a questioning look.

"He wasn't breathing," Sora began, "so Riku and I did those breathing
lessons you taught everyone how to do."

"Is that right." The doctor mused. "Well you saved this young man's life,
and I'm very proud of you Sora."  He blushed deeply at the compliment.

"I couldn't have done it without Riku." The doctor turned his attention to
Riku.

"Well it was a good thing both of you were here, or this boy might not be
alive. You both did a great job."  Riku and Sora stood up, happy from the
doctor's praise.

"Now we need to get him someplace warm, he feels very cold and clammy." The
doctor felt the boy's forehead. "Hmm, he might be developing a fever too."

"Take him to my house," came a woman's voice. The woman was neither young
nor old. She had no definitive features other than a simple beauty and a
matronly aura that radiated from her presence .  "Are you sure mom?" Asked
Sora, excitement in his voice.

"Yes dear. Selphie? Kairi? Why don't you two help me get ready for our new
guest?"

"Ok!" Both girls chimed in exuberantly.

As they hurried back to the village, the doctor called after them. "Put
some water on to boil, and don't forget plenty of warm blankets!"

"Wakka, I want you to help Riku and Sora take him back to Sora's house,
ok?"

"Ok. He don't look too good, ya?" Wakka questioned the doctor. "Is he gonna
be ok, doc?"

"He'll be fine if we hurry." The doctor turned to the last kid
there. "Tidus, I want you to come with me, I'll need some help putting
together some medicine for our young friend."

Tidus stiffened up, saluting the doctor. "Yes sir!"

Everyone raced back to the village. The three boys carried the feverish
victim off towards Sora's home, while the Doctor and Tidus veered off
towards his house. All of them silently wondering if they could keep young
Evan from the clutches of death.

It was much later that evening. The doctor, along with Sora and his mom,
were gathered around young Evan, watching him struggle for survival. The
fever had taken a strong hold of him and wasn't about to give him up
without a fight. The doctor had administered his medicines, and they piled
blankets on him and laid a damp cloth across his forehead. They only thing
they could do now was wait.

"Let me know if there is a change in his condition." The doctor told them,
as he headed out, hoping to get some rest.  Sora knelt down by the bed,
taking Evan's hand in his own.

"Is he going to be okay mom?" He asked with such innocence.

"He'll be fine darling, don't worry." She knelt down beside him, comforting
the distraught Sora as much as she could. He never left Evan's side or let
go of his hand. So wrapped up in his concern, he didn't even noticed when
sleep took him over, plunging him back into the dark depths of his dreams.
