Okay, this is the continuation of "Shattered Souls" so if you haven't read it, go and read it now. Trust me, it'll help you understand the story more if you know what the hell you're reading about. But for a short synopsis, I guess I'll explain.
From where we left off in "Shattered Souls" Kyrie was blackmailed into accompanying Sora, Donald, and Goofy so the organization could know their plans and always be a step ahead of them. Using Axel's life as the blackmail, Kyrie reluctantly accepted the mission, only to be gravely wounded by Xemnas and Saix.
Axel, finally able to go and see her at the Addled Impasse, is shocked to see what Saix and Xemnas did to her. Having no other choice, he took her and opened a dark corridor that would lead to Twilight town. But he is stopped by a cloaked man, who is accompanied by Namine. Striking a deal, a man opens another corridor and Axel says goodbye to her, pushing her through as the corridor closed. Keeping his end of the deal, he took Namine back to the castle, but not without feeling remorseful and sadded at leaving Kyrie behind.
So, that's a little insight to what's going on. But please, read "Shattered Souls", you'll probably enjoy it!
Anyways, enjoy chapter one of "Bonded Souls"!

Chapter 1
All was quiet as I gazed at the cerulean-blue sky, standing in a field of flowers as I held a bouquet of flowers in my hands. I could feel the cool, gentle wind as it whipped my white hair around my face and torso, uncovering my right eye for a moment before it fell back, covering it again. But it didn't matter, I could barely see out of my right eye anyways.
"Kyrie!" I turned and smiled as a man approached. He had red, spiky hair and green eyes that stood out from the blueness of the sky and the multiple colors of the flowers, and he wore a black cloak that stood out as well. He reached his hand out to me, and I gladly took it, giving it a gentle squeeze. My thoughts echoed one thing.
"Axel…"
…
Kyrie had no idea where she was. The last thing she remembered, was that Axel was talking to her. Otherwise…nothing. But now she could hear voices around her, voices she didn't know or could put faces to.
"Master Yen Sid, what should we do?" a female voice asked, worried.
"Yes, what should we do?" another chirped, the same tone of worry in her voice.
"Calm yourselves, Flora, Fauna, Merryweather. We must heal her, for she may not last much longer otherwise. Gather your magic, we need to perform a group Curaga in order to heal her completely." a male voice, old and deep with age, spoke calmly.
"Yes sir." all was silent for a few moments, before Kyrie could feel a large amount of power surrounding her. This power…it was full of light.
"Curaga!" and then she was consumed by warmth. She could feel the pain disappearing, her wounds healing. All she could smell was flowers and the scent of life. After a few minutes, the warmth began to fade and she could feel her strength returning. As soon as the warmth was gone, she opened her eyes. Hovering over her were four people, an old man and three women. Each of the women had pointy hats, but different colors. One was red, the other green, and the last blue.
The ones who wore the red and green hats looked similar, but the one in green had a thinner face. The one in blue was the pudgiest and did not have graying hair like her companions. The man however was different. He had a long, gray beard and bushy eyebrows, his face stern and his hat, although similar to that of his companions, was blue with moons and stars decorating it. She stared at the man in awe, she could sense great power and light coming from him.
"Oh, she's awake! Are you alright, dear?" the one in green gasped, walking over and placing a gentle hand on her head. Kyrie nodded silently, not sure of what to make of the group. They didn't seem like bad people…but she knew better. Life in the organization taught her that looks could be deceiving.
"But these people…I don't sense anything wrong. With the organization I could tell, but these people…" she thought as she stared at them, wondering whether or not she should stay or attempt to run. The old man seemed to have read her thoughts, and gently placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Do not be afraid, we will not harm you. You are safe here, and are free to stay as long as you please." he spoke. She was silent before he turned to his companions.
"Flora, Fauna, Merryweather, you may fix her clothing. She will be much more comfortable that way." at this, she looked down at her clothes. They were bloodstained and torn in a few places. The three fairies nodded as they waved their wands and in a second, her clothes were fixed. Pleased, she smiled warmly at the three fairies.
"Too bad I can't speak…Oh! My notebook!" she looked around for her backpack, and found it right next to her. Reaching in, she grabbed a notebook and opened it, before frowning. All the pages were full, and there were three other notebooks as well, all in the same state. She sighed.
"Damn. Now what?" she thought. Yen Sid observed the girl's strange behavior, before realizing something. She had been strangely quiet the entire time, not once making a sound. There could be only one reason why of her unnatural silence, since deaf was out of the question.
"You are mute, are you not?" he asked. She looked up and nodded, causing the three fairies to gasp.
"Oh dear, you poor thing!" the red one, Flora, spoke as she flew over. Her companions, Fauna and Merryweather, did the same.
"So what should we do, master Yen Sid?" the blue one, Merryweather, asked as they examined her. Yen Sid was quiet before flicking his wrist, a brand new notebook appearing in his hand in a puff of smoke.
"Here my child, this will help you." he spoke as he handed it to her. She nodded and grabbed her pen, writing down her message.
Thank you very much.
"You are quite welcome. My name is Master Yen Sid, and these three are Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather." he spoke, introducing himself and the three fairies. A unified "Hello." was heard from the three before he looked at her.
"Now, what is your name?" he asked. She quickly began to write her name, when the sentence she had written before began to vanish. Stunned, she dropped the notebook and scooted away from it, not sure of that to make of it.
"Ah yes, I apologize. This notebook is special, it can last forever and once you begin writing something new in it, what you wrote previously begins to vanish as a result." he explained. She nodded and grabbed it again before finishing what she started.
My name is Kyrie.
"Aw, what a lovely name." Flora spoke sweetly. The others nodded before Yen Sid continued.
"How did you come to be so heavily injured? What had attacked you?" he asked. Before she could write, the three fairies began speaking their own questions.
"You appeared in a dark corridor, can you wield darkness?"
"What are you?"
"Where did you come from?"
Yen Sid was silent as they shot off question after question, before intervening.
"Calm yourselves, give our quest a chance to speak." he turned to her. "Go on, we will not interrupt."
She was silent. She had no idea what to write, she had to keep her mission completely secret, or else Axel…
"That's right! Where's Axel?" she thought, finally remembering what had happened before she blacked out. She looked around the room frantically, but he was nowhere to be found. She felt a deep pang in her chest and tears prick at her eyes.
He had abandoned her.
Yen Sid caught the pain in her eyes as she searched the room, and knew there was more to the girl than what she seemed. That's when he examined her more closely.
She was young, about sixteen or seventeen, with long white hair that covered the right side of her face. And her heart…he closed his eyes. Her heart was very pure, as pure as the seven princesses of heart. But…she wasn't a princess of heart. She was something vastly stronger…
"Can you wield a keyblade?" he asked suddenly, startling her. She turned and met his gaze, surprised to see him staring at her intently. Without further ado, she held out both arms and summoned both keyblades, making the entire room gasp.
"Oh my!"
"She can wield a keyblade!"
"Not just a keyblade, two keyblades!"
Yen Sid was silent as he scrutinized her, it was just as he suspected.
"Then it just as I suspected. The worlds have been waiting a very long time for your return, princess." he spoke. She stared at him in confusion, what did he mean? He quickly walked over to where a desk sat, and took his seat. He motioned her to follow, and she sat in a seat across from him. He was silent as he stared at her, before he began.
"You are lost, are you not? I can tell that your heart is in shambles. Your memories are scattered, and someone has touched you with his darkness. Thankfully, it did not touch your heart, only your right eye." he began. She nodded, but was completely lost at his words. Yes, she had lost her memories before Twilight town, but the rest…how did he know?
"But your destiny is tied to the keyblade wielders and masters. And…to that of the heart of all worlds…Kingdom Hearts." he continued. She was silent, the disembodied voice said the same thing. That she was tied to Kingdom Hearts and the keyblades.
"But, I suspect that you have been betrayed. By whom, I can only suspect. It would explain your state that you came to us in, and why you look sorrowful." he finished. She was silent before writing down everything that had happened her. She knew it was wrong to tell a complete stranger, but she felt she could trust this man. He was silent as he read everything she wrote.
"I see. You have been allied with Organization XIII for some time, but had no knowledge of their dark intentions. Though I am confused, why do you still ally yourself with them?" he asked. She shook her head before writing more.
I'm not allied with them. The only reason I'm working for them is because if not, my best friend will be killed. I don't want that to happen, so I have no choice.
"I see. I wish there was something I could do, but alas, I cannot. This is a test for you, Kyrie. What you choose to do is up to you, but I will say this. Your friend's life is in peril, whether you help the organization or not." he spoke gravely. She nodded sadly, but what could she do? How could see save Axel?
"Kyrie," she perked at her name and stared at Yen Sid. "go with Sora, Donald, and Goofy." he spoke. She stared at him in confusion, what was he thinking?
But that's what they want me to do! They want me to act as a double-agent, I could put them in danger! And…I don't want anyone to get hurt.
"Whether or not you do is your choice, but Sora is the key. He is the key to your future, and the key to the door to light. Accompany him, and you will find the answer to help save your friend." he explained. She was silent as she thought about it. She had heard his name before from both Xion and Roxas, and didn't know much about him. But what else could she do? Nodding, she wrote her answer.
I understand, then I'll accompany him.
"Very well. Keep and eye on him, for he may start to stray from his path. Since you are a being of light, I can trust that you can keep an eye on him." he spoke. She nodded before he pointed to the door.
"He will not be here for some time, so you may take a look around." he explained. She nodded as she got to her feet, but then she stopped. She opened her notebook and wrote something down.
Master Yen Sid, tell me…why do you know so much about me? Can you tell me more, like why I lost my memories? And where my grandfather is?
He was silent as he stared at her, before looking out his window. He gazed at the stars for a moment before turning to her.
"The stars told me many things about you, but as for why you lost your memories and where your grandfather is, they cannot say. The stars cannot tell me everything." he answered. She was silent before smiling at him and walked out of the room. Yen Sid watched her go, one thought passing through his mind.
"The light has returned at last, but I did not think it would take such a form. But now I wonder…how will the worlds fare now that it has appeared? Will the darkness consume them, or will she protect them?"
He was silent as he pondered this, before a small smile graced his features. All would be fine, destiny was a strange thing, always changing, always intertwining. The girl would be fine.
Yes, I know this is probably a first boring chapter, but it'll get better, trust me. And yes, Sora will be making an appearance very shortly.
Sora: Whoo-Hoo! I'm finally going to show up! I thought you were never going to have me appear in your story.
Me: Aw, don't worry Sora. The only reason you couldn't appear in "Shattered Souls" was because you were asleep in a pod for a year!
Sora:...
Goofy: Gawrsh Sora, she got ya there. *turns to the audience* Please read an' review, the author-lady seems to like 'em a whole lot.
