Alright… This is going to be a very… Touchy subject for me. I'm writing a fanfiction to tell my story. I'm going to tell it through the eyes of Kingdom Hearts and the characters. I don't want flamers, but I do want reviews. Please, please, tell me if you like the idea. This is all stuff that are really close to me and really close to some people I love… So, think before you speak. I hope everyone likes it, this is just the introduction, so the next chapter should be at least twice as long. Again, please, please, review! I love you guys for reading this, I just… Need to get some things off my chest, and I think a story if the only possible way at this point. Its going to kind of be a songfic, sort of I guess. Lyrics at the end of each chapter… Just because they contribute to the story line.

Disclaimer- I don't own any of the characters of this story, they belong to Square Enix and Disney.

Indecent Exposure

Ohh Kiss

The sun was setting, causing the sky to flame with an abundance of colors. It's now magenta sky stricken with blotches of orange and a few dashes of blue gasping for air between the two bright colors. The golden sun seemed to blaze with satisfaction as it melted into the crisp oceans water, boiling it to the eye of someone ignorant to believe there own optics and not what there mind or heart tells them. Destiny Islands… Such a nice place, full of children running along the beaches, palm trees swaying lightly in the gentle breeze crooning them in the actions of a dull lullaby.

What a pretty picture, don't you think? Painted to perfection to only be tarnished by the likes of people who seem to live in the underground, forced away from the scenery, away from beauty, away from the sun, just to live and breathe as what they all are. Blasphemy.

Her eyes were rimmed with dark charcoal liner, mascara applied to long crimson lashes as she looked herself in the mirror. Black and purple makeup fanned out from her eyelids, dark lip stick smudged on her lips. Loose strands of long cherry locks fell in her face and she raised black painted nails brushing them away to study herself.

She smoothed her hands down over her torso, smoothing out the small black slip she wore. She looked good… Good enough for where she was going. What she was doing… She flinched as a large crash was heard from downstairs, fits of yelling and screaming followed by colorful words and another crash. Her placid blue eyes rolled in there sockets and she swiftly grabbed a small purse and walked out her bedroom door. Her boots made soft pads on the carpeted stairs as she walked down them.

She stepped onto the tile, a small click emitted from them now. She glanced to her left, into the living room and sighed. Her mother sat on the edge of the couch, head in her hands while her father simply sat silent. Not an ounce of regret in his voice, "Didn't your mother tell you to go upstairs?" His voice was ruff, a growl… This wasn't her dad. This wasn't the man she adored and hugged and got tickled by. No… This was the monster than lay dormant inside him, only unleashed when pricked by a certain substance.

"I'm going out." She spoke softly, coldly, her voice jagged and harsh as she opened the door.

"No your not!" Her mother protested, voice drowned in tears as she glanced up. Kairi looked over her shoulder at her mother shaking her head, "C'mon, were gonna have dinner and-" "No… Mom… I'm going out. I probably will stay with a friend tonight." She said softly. Her heart wrenched at the sound of her mothers pleading voice… But she wasn't going to stay in this hell hole of a family when she could be out applying herself. Well, not applying herself. She was really harming herself, but she had nothing to lose and everything to gain. So fuck it.

She sang a small tune as she walked down the cement path of the city hidden well within the islands. The part no one wanted to go near, the place everyone thought was full of druggies, prostitutes, and raging teenagers. They thought right. She crossed her arms over her chest and continued humming, eyes on the broken path before her. A path she never thought she would walk down. Not in this dress. Not with this makeup. And not in these thigh high boots. Never… But she was. And she would again and again. Well… Hopefully.

Her eyes shot up to face a door and she pushed it open, only to face a large dark staircase. She obediently clicked her way down them, making a sharp right to face a large man. Maybe eighteen years, bleach blonde hair fell in loose spikes around his face. "Welcome to Toxxic, I.D?" His voice was friendly, smooth, a hint of playfulness tainting his words.

She smiled softly and fished through her purse and grumbling under her breath. "Oh! Here it is!" she piped. She handed him to plastic card and he sighed, "Well, fake works too." He murmured with a cocky smile as he let her pass. She stuck her tongue out at the bouncer and snatched her fake I.D back before walking on through the doorway. The pounding of music vibrated through to her core, and she quirked a thin brow as her eyes trailed over the scenery. Cages, a mesh of bodies pressed in a heated dance, a bar lined with neon purple lights and darkness. This was heaven in a snowball.

The red-head pushed passed a few people to find herself at the bar. She took a seat and tapped chewed and bitten nails against the smooth counter top. A woman in a red tank top smiled at her, contacts she wore making her pupils disappear, simply showing white. "May I help you?" She asked, her voice was loud over the music and her nose twitched when she spoke. Kairi giggled lightly and nodded, "I need a job." She said with a blink.

The woman stopped and starred at her for a moment, analyzing her, her eyes asking a million questions. "How old are you?" "Does that matter?" Kairi retorted with a low hiss threaded with her words. The brown haired girl shot her a cheshire grin and waved her in a direction. Kairi obediently followed behind the bar and through a door. Four people sat around on couches, playing video games, watching a small television. They all stopped to look at her.

"New meat." The woman announced. Kairi smiled slightly, her nerves fluttering in her stomach. She really didn't want it to go over this way, but whatever… The eyes glared accusingly at her, like she had done something horribly wrong. The red-head stuttered, "Uhm h-hi… I'm Kairi."

"You're pretty… What are you here for?" Another girl called from behind the couch as she got up, glancing her way with a soft smile. Long blonde hair fell to her elbows as Kairi's red hair did and her blue eyes blinked lightly. "I'm Namine!" she piped. A boy scooted out from behind the couch as well, "Roxas!" he cooed before mumbling something and making the petite Namine squeak.

"Tidus." The smooth voice from before entered the room. The bouncer from before. He smiled and nodded, "This is Yuna." He said, placing a hand on the other bartenders shoulder. She smiled, nodding at the obvious couple.

"So… Kairi… What are you here for?" Yuna asked, blinking at her again. Kairi smiled slightly, "Oh yeah… I'm a bartender." The red-head added with a short nod. The happy faces changed and they glanced around at each other for a moment. Kairi simply waited, she wasn't going to lie and say she was here to clean toilets, nope; she was here to serve drinks.

"Oh, wow, well, were going to have to see what ya got… Uhm, favorite-" "Hypnotique, vodka chaser, with a monster." Kairi answered the question before it could be answered and Tidus and Yuna exchanged glances.

"Damn bitch, how the hell do you drink that?" a cocky voice came from behind her. She narrowed her eyes turning swiftly and scoffing, "It's easy, I open my mouth, stick it in, and drink it down, you would know the feeling wouldn't you?" she snapped with a teasing grin. The other red head that had spoken was a tall lean male with small tears tattooed beneath poison green eyes. "Axel just got owned!" Roxas' voice chimed in from the behind the couch only to be silenced by Namine's hungry lips again.

"Wow, I like her." A new voice. She turned to face a boy about sixteen leaning against the wall, black jeans and a gray t-shirt clinging to his slightly toned frame. Electric blue eyes stood out among an abundance of brunette spikes. He clicked the tongue ring in his mouth against his teeth and leaned off the wall, sighing. "Aren't we testy testy chika?" Axel taunted again. "I can be." She growled in defense. Yuna and Tidus exchanged glances again before shrugging. "I like you… You're hired. You start tonight."

Kairi stammered but rolled her eyes, "Uhm… Okay…" she said softly, "You want me to take over for whoever is out there?" Kairi asked, licking over her dark lips with a small smile. Yuna nodded and flashed a grin back, "Riku's taking over for Sora with music, so it's all yours." Kairi nodded nervously before walking out, her heels clicking on the black painted floor.

She slipped behind the bar and filled her first order, vodka straight, not hard. She was good, real good for someone so young. Only fourteen, but no one needed to know that. The night went on for hours and she stayed at her post, dealing with drunks, smiling at customers, and filling the toughest orders she had ever been given. But she did it. A little slower than most, but she did it and the drinks were quality and not rushed.

As the crowd died down and the people seemed to finally start leaving she pulled her hair into a loose pony tail, grabbing a rag and cleaning mugs and neon glasses. She huffed as another person sat down but turned and cocked a brow. "You're new." Sora. That kid from before. He smiled genuinely and tapped a hand on the counter. She glanced at it and looked at the spiked bracelet hanging loosely around his pale wrist. "Yeah." She answered casually.

"How old are you?"

"Do you really care?" she returned with a growl.

"Yeah."

"Young."

He rolled his eyes, "Kairi, right?"

"Yeah."

"You dance?"

"Aren't you the DJ, shouldn't you be working?" She hissed bitterly, her eyes flashing up to his before averting his gaze.

"It's my break; I think you should take one and come dance with me."

She shook her head, strands of red hair falling around her pouty lips.

"Sorry, I'm working. You gonna order something cause if your not I suggest you leave before some drunk knocks you out of the way."

He grinned lightly and nodded, "Fine. Jack."

She rolled her eyes and slid a glass down to him, taking out a bottle of the rum and pouring a small amount in. She eyed him carefully as he tilted the glass to his lips and drank the rum down smoothly with out any trouble. Why was he so interested in her? She had nothing to give him except a piece of ass and maybe a good night. But she wasn't like that… She growled at the thought of even being mistaken for some whore and poured him another glass.

"On me." She muttered, almost apologizing for being so rude. She walked off, though, to serve some other customer.

Sora was left to watch her, poke at his mind and try and figure her out. For some reason she was like a puzzle… A very, very hard puzzle…

"Welcome to Toxxic…" He mused before sipping lightly at the dark drink set lightly between his thumb and index finger, "Welcome to Toxxic…"

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone tell what I've done
I miss the life
I miss the colors of the world
Can anyone tell where I am

'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
Away from the sun again

I'm over this
I'm tired of living in the dark
Can anyone see me down here
The feeling's gone
There's nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world I know

And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
And now I can't tell what I've done

And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me

'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again

Oh no...
Yeah...
I'm gone...
