A Trail of Memories
Prolog
A/N: Hey everyone! This is my first attempt to write a Kingdom Hearts Fanfic, so please bear with me if it sucks. Hopefully it's a good as my other fanfics.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, or Riku (that sexy beast), but I do own my OC.
Enjoy
A memory is a very precious gift.
We hold it deep within our hearts and never let it go.
Sometimes we treasure it and sometimes we wish they were never created.
They shape out our personality and describe who we are.
But what happens when our memories are taken from us and we can't remember anything at all?
The body of a young girl washed up on the shores of a nearby beach.
Her brown hair was pressed to her face and covered her eyes.
Her mint green dress was soaked and stuck to her body.
A wave came crashing down and splashed water on her face.
Her eyes fluttered open to reveal a set of jade green gems.
She slowly sat up with a dazed look.
Her vision was all fuzzy from having her eyes closed for so long.
She had no idea where she was or who she was for that matter.
Everything was blank in her mind.
She tried to recall what had happened, but all she could find was empty space.
Her mind was simply empty.
She didn't have any clues to who she was.
That is, until she felt something fall into her lap.
Looking down, she saw a heart shaped pendant that looked like it was made out of glass.
She slowly picked it up and examined it.
Light filtered through it and had a rainbow appear out of it.
A smile appeared on her face as she looked at the pendant.
She saw some writing on it and looked closer to read out what was said.
There, in fine sliver cursive said only one simple word.
Hikari
Images suddenly flashed through her head.
She clutched her head in pain as the images grew too much for her.
She didn't know what they were, but for some reason she felt that they were all about her.
The pain became too much for her and she passed out.
She was out of it for only a few minutes when someone gently shook her.
"Hey, are you ok?"
Her eyes fluttered open once more, only this time her vision was crystal clear.
She looked up to see a boy who looked to be about the same age as her, kneeling down next to her.
He had a yellow shirt with blue pants. He had silver hair that nearly reached his shoulders.
He was really handsome boy, the only thing about his features that captivated her were his eyes.
They were the brightest shade of aquamarine that she had ever seen. It was like the ocean was within his eyes.
The boy gave her a small smile when he saw her waking up.
"Are you ok?" he repeated.
She simply nodded.
She couldn't find her voice for some reason.
The boy held out his hand to her.
She looked at it for a second then back at him.
He laughed a little.
"Relax; I'm not going to hurt you"
She slowly took it and let him help her up.
She brushed off the sand that stuck to her dress before looking at the boy.
He gave her a gentle smile as he looked at her.
"So, how did you wind up here?"
She looked at him for a moment, then looked at the ground.
Since she couldn't remember anything, she had no idea how she got here.
The boy titled his head to the side.
"What's the matter? Don't you know?"
She found herself shaking her head.
"You mean you don't remember?"
She nodded at that.
"That's a bummer"
She hung her head sadly as if she did something wrong.
The boy patted her on the shoulder.
"Hey, don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll remember"
She looked at him hopefully.
"Don't look so sad, smile"
She watched as he placed his hands behind his head.
She just looked at him.
"Go on, smile"
He smiled as an example for her.
She couldn't help the giggles that came out of her mouth.
"There you go"
She smiled at him sweetly.
"So, do you have a name?"
She thought for a moment.
She couldn't recall anything about herself.
When she looked at the pendent that was in her hands, the word etched in it sprung from her mouth.
"Hikari"
It felt right saying it for some reason.
Perhaps it was her name.
"Hikari, huh? I'm Riku"
Hikari smiled at him.
"Riku" she said.
Riku held his hand out to her.
"Well, Hikari. Welcome to Destiny Islands"
As she took his hand, she didn't realize that her adventures were just beyond the horizon.
A/N: I know it wasn't the best intro, but hopefully the next chapter will get better.
Help me out and send me your reviews so I can make this story better.
Ja ne.
