Description THUD!

Hope moaned as she felt the shock of her body landing on something solid.

...Great...What did I freaking land on?

Hope slowly opened her eyes as she quickly regretted it. She was instantly blinded by bright light and something glittering. She quickly closed it for a brief while sighing.

God, I hate my life.

Once again she made the effort to open them. This time she allowed them to remain open to focus. Once they were focused she was able to see why everything was so bright and glittering. She had landed right on the sand. The sun was shinning bright causing it to glitter. Her body was twisted while her head was laying to the side and her butt was hanging up. Grumbling she pushed herself up brushing off the sand. She shifted her eyes past the sun to see that she was still on Destiny Island. Not that she expected to be somewhere else-Wait! Was I dreaming? Hope began to panic as she instantly wrapped her arms around her. This gave her a feel of being solid. Something there, instead of feeling bear. Was that real? Or fake? I don't want to-

"Hope are you all right?"

Hope whirled around seeing Kairi standing there with a concern look. When did she get here? Where did she come from? I didn't hear her...

"Hope?"

Slowly Hope gathered herself as she shook off the shock. She stood straight up as she looked straight at Kairi.

"I'm fine. Just a strange dream."

"It wasn't one of your nightmares was it?"

"Nightmare? Come on, I haven't had them in years. Why would I be having them now?"

"I don't know. You know it's been years..."

"Yay, years..."

That was true. It has been years. Ever since that day Hope claimed Kairi as her mother. Since the day that she was washed up on Destiny Island. That fateful day when those creatures attacked her island. Those creatures who killed everyone. The people who looked like her parents that killed her true parents. At first she wouldn't talk to anyone but Kairi, but after 2 more years she began to talk somewhat to Riku and Sora. Well if you can call grunting and mumbling talking. She only did that to Riku. Something about Riku bugged her. She couldn't place it. There was something there just laid there nagging her. Sora on the other hand annoyed the crap out of her. He was an endless source of energy. Hell she didn't know where he got it from. In all honesty she couldn't stand the bounce of energy called Sora. Getting back to reality.

"Everything is fine."

"Every time though you get like that something is usually wrong..."

"I-"

"Your not hiding again, are you?"

"Hiding? Why would I-Oh."

"...So you are not hiding Hope?"

"...Nah. No more hiding. Remember? I promised you that years ago after you ragged on me."

"Yes you did and yes I did."

"So, what is it that you need mother?"

"Nothing much. Just a small favor dear."

Hope groaned. Usually when dear mother Kairi asked for a favor it involved Sora. In an odd way Hope and Sora were the brother and sister who fought, always. She hated it when Kairi asked Hope to do these things for her. Groaning she looked away before answering.

"And what does this favor involve me doing?"

"Nothing much. I need you to help me find Sora. I still have a few things to do..."

"...God...What do I get for doing this?"

"Ah, come on. He isn't that bad now."

"Give me the definition of bad and behaving, then I'll tell you."

"Hope, come on. You know I want-"

"You want me to get along with the idiot."

"Yes. Everyone here is my friend. It wouldn't be fun or fair if I had one friend biting everyone else down, would it?"

"...I-"

"Please?"

"Ah! Stop staring at me with those puppy dog eyes!"

"Then you'll do it for mommy?"

"STOP STARING! FINE!"

"Thank you sweetie."

Hope groaned as she made her feet move towards the main part of the island. God, I hate this.

"Hope. Really, be nice. I know things aren't easy for you or haven't been. Just promise me you'll try..."

Hope waved as she let it fall back to her side quickly. What choice did she have? She literally couldn't say no to Kairi. Literally. Sighing she began to walk aimlessly. She had no clue where that idiot could be. She never bothered to keep an eye on him. Hope was getting agitated. She has been searching for that idiot Sora for almost two hours and still haven't found him. God, where the hell is he? I freaking hate this! Why am I always stuck with all this? She began to kick angrily at the sand. Hope stood there watching the sand being lift up by the wind and then being thrown to the side without care. Hope sighed. Thrown away, huh? Hope eyes shifted back to the endless ocean. It was calm. Never became mad, never became angry. Unlike her. She was an endless eruption of emotions. Mostly it being anger.

Are you always going to sulk and get annoyed by simple requests?

Shut up! I don't need voices in my head right now.

Really? It seemed that it helped keep you sane through the years...

Sane? Kept me sane? You kept me screaming through all those years!

...I never-

Oh! Just leave me the hell alone!

...I'm so sorry...

Stop saying it

Hope shifted as she began her search again for Sora. Finally after another hour of searching she found Sora laying on the sand. Hope grunted as she made her way over there. She stopped once she was a foot near him and groaned. He was asleep! He was freaking sleeping! Hope face palmed her face as she let loose a small agitated sigh. Staring at Sora Hope anger began to boil. She should just literally strangle him right here and now. It would help get her anger out...Then again she did promised. Ugh! Why in the world do I have to get along with the classic idiot! I hate this day. The dream, Kairi's request and that voice is STILL here driving me crazy! She threw her hands up into the air while yelling out a curse. Finally done with her ranting she turned to face Sora again. She leaned down until she was an inch away from his face.

"Hey Sora, come one Kairi is looking for you..."

"...Ngh...Sleepy."

Hope sighed as she stood straight up. Well, now what am I to do? Suddenly a small sly grin spread across her face. This could become more fun. She took a few steps back. Aimed her foot right at Sora's side. It made contact. She couldn't hide the smile that appeared on her face. Hell, she had to admit it was fun to pick on Sora. Anyway and anyhow she could. Sora's eyes snapped opened as he jolted straight up and then down on the sand again holding his side. Hope burst out laughing. She couldn't help it. Sora made it too easy. Sora slowly got up as he eyed Hope laughing her head off.

"Hope! What was that for?"

"Ah, what's the matter?"

"What's the matter! You kicked me!"

"It worked didn't it?"

"WHAT?"

Hope couldn't help it. She burst out into a fist of giggles as she eventually fell to the floor holding her side.

"It isn't funny!"

"S-So-Sorry!"

"...So why are you here?"

"Kairi wanted me to get you. She needs you for something."

Suddenly the word "something" hit her. The raft. Those three have been talking about going to other words. Exploring other places. They even talked about finding Hope's island. Her true home. Yet, all the talk about the exploring the new worlds just made her angry. She didn't know why, but it did. Everything...

"Did Kairi say where she would be?"

"Nah, just wanted me to retrieve you."

"Oh...Okay."

Hope was about to get going when suddenly she felt someone grab her arm. Her mind told her to first wrench it away. She tired and failed. She tugged again with the same results. Finally she looked over and saw Sora holding her arm.

"Why are you-"

"THE DREAM!"

"Geezs, stop yelling! I'm right here stupid."

"I had a dream with these strange creatures! They were weird! They had big yellow eyes. They moved funny!"

"And?"

"You were in the dream too! You had a staff and I had a weapon that I think was called a keyblade."

Hope's heart sank. It wasn't a dream? This idiot...He dreamed the same thing? He...Then is it true? He is the new owner of the keyblade? And I'm-Suddenly the anger rose back inside of her. Anger that she couldn't get ride of. The anger that been buried inside of her for years. Sure she managed to suppress it over the years, but Sora always managed to let it resurface. Why? She wasn't sure why.

"Sora, let go of my arm."

"What was-"

"Let go of my arm before I regret doing something."

Sora obeyed. Hope gently held onto her arm where Sora had grabbed her. Sora eyed her before going on.

"That dream was real wasn't it?"

"...I...No."

"But Hope in the dream with that staff thing...You seemed to know what you were doing. Then, I mean-"

"Stop talking about things you don't understand."

"Hope, then ex-"

"I don't need to explain."

"Do you know-"

"No I don't."

"But!"

"STOP!"

Hope didn't mean to shout or yell at Sora like that, but feh her anger was beyond the safe point. Why does this have to happen? Why does these memories have to come back? Why did she have to have that dream? Why did Sora have to be in it? Why?

Destiny is destiny

Shut it!

You can't escape destiny. I'm so sorry.

I said stop.

Hope raised her hands to her head murmuring nonsense. Sora slowly inched closer as he finally was right next to her. Sora gently placed a hand on Hope.

"Hope are you all right?"

Hope pushed Sora off of her. Sora stumbled backwards confused. Hope stayed there as she allowed her hands drop to her side. I don't want this. I don't want what happened to my island to happen here. I wouldn't be able to bear it. I just couldn't handle it. Sora stayed where he was, but that didn't stop him from pressing the matter.

"Hope...Please can you tell me what that dream was about? You were in there."

"It has nothing to do with me. Just drop it. Kairi is waiting-"

"The dream felt real!"

"I DON"T CARE!"

"But!"

Hope did it. She snapped and hell she had to admit it, it felt good. She lunged at Sora. She managed to throw him to the closest wall that she could find and just plain out went on attack. Just as Hope was going on her attack Riku was approaching. Riku sighed as he saw the sight before him. Why does this always happen to him? He always had to separate those two. Sighing once again he dropped the log as he made his way to them. It didn't take him long to get a strong grip on Hope. Hope just kept squirming and fighting. Sora had slumped back down on the sand.

"Sora, what did you say to her this time?"

"I-I didn't say anything!"

"Sora, she wouldn't be going off like this unless something was said to her."

"GET OFF OF ME! LET ME AT HIM!"

"No! Keep her away!"

"Hope I'm not letting you go until you calm down."

"I'M NOT-"

"What is going on here?"

Everyone looked over and saw Kairi standing there with her hands on her hips. She looked angry. Great.

"I found Hope attacking Sora."

Kairi sighed. She had hoped that after all these years that she would had been more civil towards Sora, but then again. She walked over to the thrashing about Hope. Gently she placed a hand on her shoulder as she whispered, "Let's calm down now."

Hope immediately stopped. Riku looked at Kairi with a questioning look. Kairi smiled as she patted Riku's shoulder. Riku sighed as he asked, "It's safe to put her down now?"

"Yay, she should be okay now."

Riku shrugged as he set Hope down. Hope slumped lifeless to the ground. Kairi wrapped her arms around Hope. Hope slowly came back to life.

"What happened sweetheart?"

"Kairi, I don't think it fair or nice that you are always this nice to her..."

"It's-"

"Shut it."

"Well, looks who finally can talk."

"I swear-"

"You swear what?"

"Both of you stop it. Hope can-"

"Sorry mother. I found the idiot and now I need to be alone."

She didn't even wait for a reply as she literally got up and walked away.
