Summary: Organization XIII is trying desperately to find Kingdom Hearts, until one day Xemnas realizes what the main ingredient is....

One day Xemnas was, as usual, sitting in is office contemplating on how to complete Kingdom Hearts once and for all, but as usual no avail. Of course Saix was faithfully there to tend to his every need (suck up), he also would think but mostly just sit there and desperately want to howl at the moon outside, which he could see through Xemnas' window. Well how that got started was....

Flashback---

" Demyx stop staring at me. " Saix said as he sat at the dinner table eating his cream of chicken soup.

" ...." Demyx just kept staring at Saix, looking like he was in deep thought. Saix was getting irritated and everyone noticed, Axel nudged Demyx.

" Demyx...stop staring at him, he looks like he's gonna kill ya, though that mad face is sorta funny...but cute, like a wolf. Not...cute cute, animal cute..ya you get it, right? " Demyx didn't move an inch nor say anything, just stared at Saix even harder, looking more and more in thought. Suddenly Demyx's eyes widened as if he realized whatever he was thinking about, sat up, and once again started eating his soup. Everyone obviously was now curious to what Demyx was thinking that whole time, Saix even look a bit interested but still a little keeping his emotionless look.

Zexion cleared his throat " Demyx, I know that we all want to know why you were staring at Saix like that. "

Demyx turned to Axel " Puppy. "

Axel blinked " What? "

" You asked what I thought of Saix...I say puppy....Saix puppy to be exact. "

---End Flashback

Ever since then, oddly, Saix has felt like....a dog..er...puppy. Wanting to bark at the moon, but of course that is to uncharacteristic for little Saix so that won't be happening. Annnnyway, while Saix was thinking of trying to take control of his urge to bark at the moon, Xemnas was busy thinking about the main ingredient, it can't just be countless hearts of random people, either dying my Heartless, Keyblade or just death itself can't be enough, I mean the world would have to run out of people some time right? Poor Xemnas, couldn't comprehend that there was something missing but he couldn't find it.

He looked over at Saix, who was sitting on a chair staring at the moon...with his tongue sticking half way out, he looked like he was trying to resist something. Xemnas raised his eyebrow turning away deciding not to ask. Xemnas then looked at the heart shaped moon and thought some more, more, more and more till he gave himself a headache. He pulled open his desk draw and took out a bottle of aspirin, he had plenty of it, around 20 bottles he had to because he often got migraines or headaches from thinking to much or just dealing with the Organization. Xemnas sat down in his chair and closed his eyes, after 5 or 6 minuets he realized what the main ingrediant was. He jumped out of his chair-

" I got it!! I know what we are missing!! We have to get everyone to the meeting room right away!! Let's go Saix. " Xemnas opened a portal but noticed Saix wasn't following " Saix...lets go. " Saix didn't move " Saix! Come! Now! " Saix turned around

" Bark! " Then ran around on all fours then stopped at Xemnas' feet. " Woof! "

Xemnas face palmed himself " You have been spending to much time in my office thinking about Kingdom Hearts....you have to get out more...we'll have to fix that later. " Xemnas said to the now ' Saix Puppy ' who was currently sniffing Xemnas' shoe. " Common Saix, lets Go. " As Xemnas emphesized the word ' go' , Saix got excited and ran through the portal. " Dear Kingdom Hearts...help me. "

-----------------

" Common Riku...that's no fair, you can't use your darkness power to help you hide. " Sora said putting his hand on his hips looking around once more of his house. Him, Kairi and Riku were playing Hid 'n' Seek, Sora pursuaded Riku to play with them. Sora already found Kairi, she was also help looking.

" Ya Riku, that's no fair, plus we give up. "

" No we don't! " Sora argued " Its not like you didn't use yours to hide in the flower bush. "

Kairi blushed " Well Riku's is much harder when he uses it, he blends in with any shadow. "

Sora rolled his eyes " A least I didn't cheat. "

" You haven't even hidden yet. "

" And I could use my light to bring out Riku...but I haven't have I? "

" Well.."

" That doesn't mean I wont use it though. " Sora brought out his Keyblade and it started to shine, it took out every shadow in site. Kairi and Sora walked about with it trying to find Riku...but with no luck.

" Sora...lets give up now. "

Sora groaned as much as he hated to losing to Riku " Fine, Riku we give up. " In 2 seconds Riku came out of the Kitchen. ( They were in the living room and right around the corner is the kitchen. ) " Where were you? "

Riku smirked " In the kitchen inside the botton cabnets....I even gave you guys an easy one. You didn't check there at all, and Sora...you're the one who cheated. " Sora realized that Riku actually didn't cheat.

" Kairi did too. " Kairi blushed and giggled. " Okay now its your turn to count Riku, ready-set-go! Kairi and Sora ran off while Riku went and counted somewhere.

----- Riku's POV -----

" ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred. " I walked out of Sora's room,I decided to count in there cause there really was no place to hide in there. I walked into the bathroom that was beside Sora's room and looked behind the shower curtain and in the closet, I had to look in the most obvious places first, Sora would most likely be in one of those. I went to Sora's parents' room and looked around, under the bed, in their closet. I thought for a moment, where were Sora's parents? They were always around, well his mom anyway, she's usually making something in the kitchen. I shrugged, she must be out, I went down stairs and looked around in the living room, I looked behind the couch, all the chairs and the table....found nothing...maybe the kitchen....then I heard a scooting sound and a shuffle.....Sora.

I closed my eyes, using my sense to figure out where it was coming from, you learn a lot when you have to learn to fend for yourself in the Darkness. Anyway I listened and I could hear breathing...but it didn't sound like Sora...it was coming from under the couch, the breathing sounded more like....

" Found you Kairi. " I said as I pushed the couch back. Kairi looked up at me and stuck her tongue out playfully, she's so cute.

" No fair, Riku. Ok who's turn to count next? "

I smiled " I haven't found Sora yet, surprisingly. "

Kairi blinked " Really? "

" Ya..." I ran my hand through my hair then I took a look in the kitchen " Kairi, did you happen seen Sora's parents when you were down here? "

Kairi thought for a moment " Nope...why? "

" Haven't seen her since I've hid. "

" She's probably out or something...she doesn't have to be here, ya know. "

I smiled pushing the thought away " Ya...you're right. Common lets keep looking, he can't be hiding that hard. " Kairi smile and walked into the kitchen.

" I'm guessing you've already looked upstairs? " I nodded " He could be outside, we can hide outside remember. "

" I know that. " I rolled my eyes, I pushed open the backyard door. The backyard was fenced, the rules were we couldn't go outside the fence or yard, that was about the only rule. We looked under the house, in the bushes, in the garage shack. No where, sept the..."Kairi go check the front yard and I'll check the kitchen. " Kairi nodded and walked around to the front, as soon as I got inside I heard Kairi scream. I jumped back out and went around the house to see Kairi with her Keyblade thing out trying to keep Vexen's attacks away, I ran up to Vexen and swatted at him with my Way To Dawn.

" What are they doing here?! " Kairi started to say something but Vexen was hiding behind a tree shooting ice at us. I hid behind a huge rock that happened to be behind me. " Where's Sora? " I asked Kairi.

" I tried to tell you, they are all attacking him. " Kairi pointed from the side of the rock where Sora was fighting off almost every single person from the Organization. my mouth gaped open, Xemnas wasn't there of course.

" What the hell?! " I looked at Kairi " Stay. " I shot up and ran off towards Sora while dodging some of Vexen's ice. I got up close enough to one of them, which was Marluxia and I struck him on the side, he jumped back, glared and smirked.

" Riku, nice to see you again. " Marluxia went into a relaxed stance.

I scowled " What are you guys doing here?! " I could hear Sora yell something at me

" Riku!! They have my Mom!! Above you!! " I looked up to see Sora's mom wrapped in a vine, unconscious.

I at Sora who was currently busy fighting off the others, I looked back at Marluxia who was smirking. " You see Riku, we need Sora, so we'll just be taking him. Alive or not. " I didn't know it but silently one of Marluxia's vines were creeping up, it snatched me up off my feet, it wrapped around my legs and around my arms. It was so tight I couldn't move without it hurting.

" Why do you need Sora? "

" It's part of our plan to successfully complete Kingdom Hearts, once and for all. "

I smirked " Ya....didn't work the last time did it?" Marluxia frowned and his vines squeezed tighter, it was getting harder to breath.

" Don't worry little Riku, we won't hurt him...yet. " I growled

" Bastards... "

Marluxia frowned, brought me up to eye level and then smiled " Riku...you have lovely hair..." He took off his glove on his right hand and felt my hair. " Silky. I don't think you deserve such...precious hair, but you are lucky to have it. " Marluxia smiled wider and another vine came up, it looked sharp...was he gonna kill me? Crap...there was still so much I wanted to do. He put his glove back on and roughly grabbed some of my hair, " Here...lets give you a trim. " My eye widened, Marluxia chuckled and the vine was ready to cut some of my hair off when it suddenly dropped. I saw a flowery Keyblade beneath me, Kairi's...I saw it disappear and reappear in her hands.

" Let Riku go! " Oh like that was gonna help...Marluxia just laughed

" Demyx!! " Demyx looked up from helping the others fight, Marluxia motioned for him to come over.

Demyx ran over " Yes? "

" I think Kairi wants a swimming lesson. " I glared

Demyx smiled as he made a water lasso come out of the ocean, wrap around Kairi and pull her towards the water. " No!! Riku!! Sora!! " I struggled to get out of the vines but they only squeezed tighter, I gasped for breath, it was getting more difficult to breath....what's with their sudden strength? I looked at Sora who was trying to get to Kairi but was being blocked by everyone else. Marluxia looked at Demyx nodded, Kairi was then dragged under the water.

" No!! "

I turned to Sora, who was close to being pinned down, Sora yelled to me " Save Kairi! I can take care of myself!! " I looked at the water then at Sora. " Hurry!! " I looked at Vexen, then I got an idea.

"Hey old and ugly!! Ya you Vexen!! "

Vexen growled and sent ice my way, I move out of the way and it hit Marluxia in the face, the vines loosened enough for me too summon my Way To Dawn and slice through it. I ran to the Demyx and swung at him, ran to the water and dove in, I pulled Kairi up to the surface. I drug her to the shore, luckily she was still conscious and breathing, I helped Kairi stand up and I looked to where Sora was. They had him...he was wrapped up in a vine with ice holding it in place so he couldn't brake it, he was also half conscious and very worn out, I started to run towards him but Axel stopped me with a wall of fire as they walked through a portal. Once the portal was gone the wall of fire disappeared, they took Sora along with his mom. I feel to my knees, and pounded my fist on the sand, and I whispered.

" Damn it...I was so close. "

" I'm sorry...it was my fault. "

I looked up at her, she had tears in her eyes, I stood up and hugged her " No, its not, you were just trying to help, thank you though, if you hadn't help then I probably would have lost all my hair and maybe dead. " I could hear her starting to sob, I brought her off my shoulder. " Kairi, were going to go get Sora back, its obvious where he is, well he's in one of two places but we will find him. " I pulled her along " We still have the Gummy Ship the King gave us after our last adventure, but Kairi, you have to stay here, it's best if I can do this alone. " Kairi looked like she was about to disagree but decided not to and just nodded. " Good, I promise I will be back with Sora alive. " We stopped at the Gummy Ship behind some trees, I got ready to go in but Kairi took my hand.

" Please be safe..." I know she means that in a friend way, she likes Sora more than me, but I've learned to accept that. I nodded

" I will, don't worry too much. " I smiled then went into the Gummy Ship. I heard Kairi chuckle, I gave her a questioning look, she just smiled.

" This is a switch, its you who's going to look for and save Sora instead of looking for you and me and trying to save me or the worlds. " I smiled back...

" Yes..." I started up the Ship, the door closed, it rose up into the air and took off. It really is a switch...this time...its probably more serious.

SAM29: Well...here ya go...what do ya think of it? Review!! But one thing....I wont be updating this again till I finish ABT. x3 Sorry but you have to wait. My apologies. Oh yes....this is NOT a SoKu.. ( Sora/Riku ) its not meant to be in anyway...but if you see it that way...fine...but Riku said he likes Kairi...well he didn't really but its obvious.
