Chapter 1: Time's Up

A/N: Dah, dah, dah! Ladies and Gentlemen we have finally reached the story that you have all been waiting for! The one, the only, Sorceress War! I must say I'm both super excited and nervous about this story. Mainly because it's not part of the Kingdom Hearts story at all and because I'll be adding characters that were never meant to be part of that game.

Since this is my first time winging it, I'll do my best to make you all happy. But I'm sure you guys are happy since Hikari and Riku area back!

Anyway, let's start this summer off with an awesome new story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts; I just own my oc's.

Enjoy!

It was rather quiet at Radiant Garden. Maybe it was because it was nighttime and not a single soul was up. Or maybe it was because no one would think to head off to the Crystal Canyon when there wasn't any light out.

Either way, that didn't stop one person in particular. In fact, it was welcoming.

Taiyouko cautiously walked down the barren wasteland that lead to the Crystal Canyons.

With Xemnas and the Organization out of the way, she could travel without having to fear if someone was watching her. Her powers were nearly restored to what they were years ago, so she decided to travel back to her home world on her own.

She didn't want to leave Hikari behind on the islands, but she had a mission to fulfill.

She had someone that she needed to see.

It was hard to believe that it had been nearly twelve years since she last saw Lumen. After Xemnas plunged their world into darkness, she feared if anything happened to her sleeping friend.

She knew that Xemnas was really Terra and would probably search high and low for the woman that he loved most. But she feared that Xehanort would get a hold of her too. She didn't know what it was that Lumen had that Xehanort needed, but she wanted to make sure her sleeping friend was safe and protected.

"I'm sure Ienzo never told Xemnas where the Chamber of Remorse was when he was recruited into the Organization" she said to herself.

"But I can't be too sure"

She continued walking down the moonlight path that lead to her dear friend.

She smiled weakly as she thought of Lumen. She still couldn't get the image of her falling into a deep sleep out of her head.

"It's been twelve years since that tragic day" she said.

"Twelve years since you've been trapped into a deep sleep"

She looked up at the moon sadly and sighed.

"Oh Lumen" she breathed.

"I wonder what you could have been dreaming all of this time?"

She continued walking towards the chamber. As she was walking, she failed to notice that someone was following her in the shadows.

The figure smirked darkly as they watched Taiyouko. It had been years since they saw her and they just couldn't wait to spring their little reunion.

The figure slowly drew closer to the sorceress as she rounded a corner in the great maw. It was easy to get lost in this area, but this figure knew where they were going.

Taiyouko peered around the maw in case someone or something was near. Just because the Organization was gone, didn't mean that the heartless and nobodies were.

Sighing she continued her cautious path.

The figure was within reach of Taiyouko now and slowly pulled out a set of blood red daggers.

It was time.

"Fithos Lusec"

Taiyouko stopped in her tracks as she heard that.

The figure drew closer and held the daggers close to their face.

"Fithos Lusec…wecos vinosec"

Taiyouko felt her blood run cold as she heard the chant. She knew that chant all too well.

It was the chant of the sorceress.

And there was only one person that she knew who would always sing that chant.

Slowly turning around, she faced the figure that had been following her this whole time.

She had a grim look on her face when the figure cackled gleefully.

"Oh, I never get tired seeing that terrified expression" it said.

"How can one little song cause so much fear in your heart?"

Taiyouko summoned up her bow and arrow and arrow. Notching an arrow, she aimed it at the figure.

"What are you doing here?" she hissed.

"How are you still alive?"

The figure covered their chest in mock hurt.

"Oh, you wound me" it said.

"After all these years, you still despise me…but then again, you never really did care for me. You only cared for the other one"

Taiyouko glared at the figure and pulled the arrow back, ready to let it go.

"I'll ask you again, what are you doing here?" she repeated.

The figure gave her a cruel, sinister, wicked grin.

"She's coming" she said.

"And she wants what's owed to her"

Taiyouko took a step back in fear.

"T-that's not possible!" she insisted.

"I made sure she would never return again!"

Taiyouko's shadow started to move on the ground and slowly rose from the ground, taking the shape of a sinister form.

The figure laughed at the scene unfolding and gestured to the shadowy form.

"I would rethink that if I were you…Taiyouko"

Taiyouko slowly turned around and gasped in horror at the sight before her.

Next thing she knew, her world went black.

The last thing she heard was the voice of the one person she feared more than Xemnas.

"Time's up, Taiyouko"

A/N: Uh oh, looks like Taiyouko is in deep trouble. Just who are these people that want to get her? I'm sure you can figure out one of them, but what of the other?

I know this chapter wasn't long, but I thought it was a great way to start a new story.

Next up, we get to see our all time favorite couple! Hikari and Riku!

Please oh please review and tell me what you think!

Ja ne!
