Okay everybody, K-chan here. This is gonna be my first HUGE story in a long while. And surprise surprise, it isn't BLEACH this time! *audience gasps* No, I haven't stopped loving BLEACH. Just the current storyline sucks and it's not helping with ideas for the series, so I decided to take a break from it for now. This time, it's all about KINGDOM HEARTS baby!

Anyways, the timeline for this story is 358/2 Days-KH2, if you guys are wondering. The story may be a little screwed at some points, but I had to make some adjustments. That tends to happen with OC-affiliated stories. Anyways, some characters might be OOC in the beginning, but this is my...second time writing about them. So It's gonna take some time, but I'll try not to make them too-OOC. Okay? Anyways, enjoy!

Kingdom Hearts Shattered Soul Chapter 1

Memories. They are what makes a person, a person.

They're easily scattered, easily forgotten.

A heart that's empty of memories.

A fragment of the heart that went astray.

Nothing left but empty tears.

-Darkness-

What's...happening to me? I'm falling... Falling...into darkness... It was evening in Twilight town when a massive meteor shower began, all of the townsfolk and children running to their windows as they watched the beautiful sight. One star fell, opposite from the rest, and headed towards an alleyway before it took shape and landed. Where it fell, a girl lay. No one noticed the girl, nor would anyone until she regained consciousness the next morning.

-Morning-

"..." Only silence was heard as a girl awoke to find herself in an unfamiliar place. She was silent as she placed a hand on the cool cobblestone and lifted herself up, so that she was half-kneeling on the pavement. She looked around, she had no idea where she was. Or, more specifically, who she was.

Everything was blank, nothing but a huge gap. Her head started to hurt when she tried to remember, so she decided to hold off for now and just find out where she was. All that she knew was that she was in an alley with two exits and a place in the center where it looked like kids hang out at. She opened her mouth to call out, but no sounds came out, only air as she breathed in and out. She closed it and scowled.

"I...can't talk?" she thought. Then she realized that she could only see out of her left eye clearly, while her right flickered between blurry or no sight at all. After finally getting to her feet, she looked around and spotted a large puddle before walking to it and looking straight down at it. She saw another girl with long, white hair and dark brown eyes staring back. Part of the hair covered her right eye while a blue half-heart clip kept the rest out of her face and left her left eye visible, and she wore nothing but white. A white sweater, dress, grey backpack, and a grey choker with a silver outline of a heart on it. She stared at the reflection before smiling.

"She's...cute. Is she...me?" she thought, looking closer at the reflection. The girl's face was round and childish, but her body proved otherwise. But she was short, that was certain. She reached out her hand and the reflection copied her. It was her own reflection, she decided. She turned her attention away from the reflection and looked around. She had to find another person, maybe they'd know who she was, or, at least where she was.

"Yo, Seifer! Pass me the ball, y'know!" a male voice cried. She looked to her right at one of the exits, where sunlight shone. She took a hesitant step before taking off. Maybe whoever called out knew who she was.

-The Sandlot-

"Annihilation."

"Rai, you suck at this."

"Vivi, stop gettin' in my way, y'know!" The girl watched silently as three boys and a girl played some sort of ball game. One of the boys dressed like a sorcerer, while the other two looked more normal. One had blonde hair and a scar on his face, while the other was tanned and muscular. The girl with them had silver hair and blood red eyes, and looked like a cold and unfriendly person. She watched them for a few more moments before the silver-haired girl noticed her.

"Seifer." she called. The three boys stopped and looked at her, before one of them smirked.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here? Fuu, Rai, Vivi, you recognize her?" the blonde boy called. The girl, Fuu, shook her head as well as the two boys. She looked down sadly, they weren't any help. But that was the least of her problems.

"Well, since none of us know you, who are you? And what're you doing hanging around our town?" he growled. She was silent before taking a few steps back, her back hitting against the wall. She looked around for a means to escape, but she had nowhere to run. They had her cornered.

"Well? What's the matter, cat got your tongue?" he mocked. His friends laughed as he took a step closer, frightening her as he did so. She opened her mouth to say something, but, like before, nothing came out. A look of realization crossed Fuu's face as she watched the girl's mouth open and close, like she was talking without sound.

"Seifer. Mute." she spoke. He looked at her in confusion before Rai stepped in, also realizing the fact that the girl couldn't talk.

"I think she's mute bro, y'know. She can't talk." he explained. Seifer growled at him before turning around and grabbing her collar.

"I know what it means! So what, it ain't gonna-" whatever he was going to say next was cut off when the ball they were playing with whizzed by and smacked him right in the face, making him release his hold on her as he fell to the ground in a furry of curses.

"Take that, Seifer! That's what you get for scaring girls." a boy's voice called. She turned to see two boys, a blonde and brunette, and a girl with brunette hair. The girl ran over and pulled her away as Seifer staggered to his feet.

"Hayner, that was low, y'know!" Rai called as he, Fuu, and Vivi helped him up. The blonde boy smirked before turning to his companions.

"Well that's what he gets for harassing girls. See ya." with that he took off, with the boy, and two girls right behind him. The four stood there and watched them go before Seifer lifted his hand and wiped the blood from his lip.

"Little brat...I won't forget this..." he growled.

-A few minutes Later-

"Man, that was close!" the brown-haired boy sighed as the small group stood in what looked like to be a small hangout. The other two nodded before the brunette girl turned to her.

"Are you hurt?" she asked. The girl was silent before shaking her head. She smiled in relief and held her arms behind her back as she shifted from one foot to the other.

"Oh, good! My name is Olette, these are my friends Pence and Hayner." she smiled as she introduced the group. The boys smiled.

"Hiya." The brown-haired boy, Pence, smiled. The blonde, Hayner, nodded.

"Yo. So, you got a name?" he asked. Olette glared at him.

"Hayner! That's rude! Of course she has a name!" She argued. The girl was silent as the two bickered back and forth before Pence placed a hand on her shoulder.

"So, you gonna introduce yourself?" he asked. The girl was silent before opening her mouth and closing it again, still no words. Maybe she really was mute. Pence raised an eyebrow as he watched her form words with her mouth. He wasn't a lip-reader, but she seemed to try and say something, but couldn't.

"What's wrong, you can't talk?" he asked. She nodded before Hayner and Olette turned to her, just having heard what Pence said. Olette placed a hand on her shoulder, staring at the girl in concern.

"Are you okay? Maybe something's wrong with your voice." she asked in worry. The girl shook her head, she felt fine. Her throat didn't feel sore or itchy, and it didn't hurt to breathe. Hayner scoffed.

"Didn't you hear Fuu back at the sandlot? She said that she was mute." he explained. Olette was silent for a moment before walking to where a bag lay and pulled out a small notebook and a pencil. She placed them in the girl's hands.

"There, with this we can communicate." she smiled proudly. The girl smiled back before writing a few words on the paper. Her smile turned into a grin before turning the page and writing a sentence down. For some reason… writing came to her, like instinct. But why? She shook her head and continued writing, ignoring the thoughts for now. The three looked over her shoulder.

I can't remember. I don't know where I am, where I came from, or anything. Everything's blank.

Pence whistled as he read the last part of her sentence.

"Jeez...that's awful. You can't remember anything?" he asked. The girl nodded as she added more. Olette and Hayner were silent as she wrote something else.

Can you help me? Maybe someone around here knows me.

"Of course we can! C'mon, we'll even give you a tour of Twilight Town." Olette giggled as she grabbed the girl's wrist and started dragging her out of the usual spot. Both boys sighed but laughed as they followed the two girls.

-Hours Later, in the alley-

"Man, this was just a waste of time!" Hayner growled. The small group had wandered around Twilight town for hours, but nobody seemed to recognize the white-haired girl. Some even asked a few times who she was. The girl looked down sadly before they looked at her. That's when they noticed her backpack.

"You're carrying a backpack?" Pence asked. The girl looked at the backpack and nodded, but she didn't even know how it got there. She just…woke up with it on her back. Pence slammed a fist into his open palm.

"That's it! Maybe you have something in there that has your name on it!" Pence smiled. The girl smiled and nodded as she slid the backpack off her back and unzipped it. There were only a few things inside, a sketchbook, pencils, colored pencils, and a picture. Curious, she pulled out the picture and gazed at it. The picture was of a little girl, about five or six, with short white hair and a dazzling smile as she smiled at the camera. Her eyes were closed and she was carrying something star-shaped. A person's hand was on top of her head.

"Hey, there's a name inside this sketchbook." Pence called. She turned her attention to him as he, Hayner, and Olette stared at the open sketchbook. Inside the cover was a single sentence.

"Property of: Kyrie."

"Kyrie? Is that your name?" Pence asked. She shrugged her shoulders. The name didn't ring any bells. Hayner scoffed.

"Pence, of course it's her name! This is her backpack!" he spoke, smacking him in the head. The girl was silent before Olette gazed at the sky. The sky was starting to darken than its usual pink, oranges, and reds.

"It's almost time to go home. Um...Kyrie..." the girl looked at her as Olette said the name. Everyone was silent as they looked at the sky before Olette looked back to her.

"Do you have anywhere to stay tonight?" she asked. The girl, Kyrie, shook her head. Then she smiled and wrote on her notebook.

I'll be fine. You don't need to worry about me. Just hurry home and be careful, okay?

They were silent before nodding reluctantly.

"Okay, but if you need anywhere to stay, head to the usual spot. There's a cot there you can use." Hayner explained. With that, they started to leave. Olette turned and waved.

"Bye Kyrie, we'll see you tomorrow!" Olette called. Both boys waved as the three headed home, leaving her alone in the alley. She was silent before looking at the sky, it was almost sunset now. She smiled. She didn't want to go to the usual spot just yet. She wanted to explore some more.

"I guess...I'll go to the station tower. They said the view was great from up there." she thought. She quickly grabbed her things and placed them in her backpack as she headed to the station tower.

Okay, that's the end of the first chapter. Sorry, no Axel yet, but you'll see him soon, trust me.

Axel: Yeah, like never.

Me: Oh hush, you'll get your moment. Just wait.

Roxas: *sighs* Anyways, read and review. She seems to like them a whole lot.
