Infiny: Here's the next chapter. Oh, in case you were wondering the summary might actually mean what it says by chapter 3. And by AU it means that the "Sora is the keyblade master" thing didn't happen.

We've been through this, I don't own Kingdom Hearts, I own Infiny.

Nothing could keep the girl down for long. She quickly jumped back up on her feet and ran to catch up with Riku.

"So what do I get, now?" Infiny excitedly asked Riku, already over her scare.

"What are you talking about?" Riku asked her, feigning ignorance.

Infiny's right eyebrow twitched, "You know very well what I'm talking about, Riky-kins!" she said putting obvious emphasis on Riku's nickname. "I did NOT do all that CRAP for NOTHIN'!" Infiny said.

"Well, squirt," Infiny fumed at the nickname, "think about all the fun you had as your reward." Riku told her joking a bit.

"FUN? You call THAT fun?" Infiny threw her hands up in the air as an "I- give-up" kinda motion.

"Yes, I do. but anyways, here," Riku retrieved a locket from a pocket (Mehe. rhyme!) and handed it to the girl. "I found this at the Secret Place about a month ago, I think it was actually yours,"

"Hmm." Infiny looked uncertainly at it, "It seems familiar." she try to open it but it was securely shut, rusted perhaps. She smiled at him, "Thanks, Riky-kins," She put the locket around her neck.

Riku grimaced at his nickname, "Don't call me "Riky-kins", squirt!" Riku said nearing the door that led to the other side of the island.

"Only if you don't call me "squirt", Riky-kins!" Infiny bargained.

"I suppose." Riku agreed as he opened the door. Unfortunately he did not see evil grin formulating its way across the girl's face had, nor her uncrossing the fingers behind her back.

When the two stood atop the bridge leading to Paopu Island, Infiny waved a goodbye and ran off toward the dock. Apparently, the girl had caught sight of Sora, who was tying up his boat.

"Hiya, Sora! Where's Kairi?" Infiny asked him, she wasn't too particularly fond of the redhead but she was nice to her because Kairi was Sora's girlfriend.

"Kairi? She's still sleeping." Sora trailed off as looking across the sea. "It is pretty early y'know."

"Yea." Infiny then gave him an accusing glance, "Which makes me wonder why YOU are even up!"

"I came to see how your zipline training was going." Sora told her.

"Uh-huh. SURE." Infiny replied and it was easy to see that she was joking, although she was still curious. A couple seconds later, though she decided to act upon it, "So why are you REALLY here?"

Sora scratched his head characteristically "Truthfully? Eh-"

Quit wasting your time, girl!

Infiny looked around in shock, she was sure that she heard a voice. Sora looked at her strangely as Infiny shook her head to clear her thoughts. "Oh- I. I.'m sorry, Sora. I just thought I heard something, what did you say?" She apologized.

"I said that I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. So what did you hear?" Sora knew something was wrong by the way the girl's eyes kept darting around, as if searching for something.

"Nothing, nothing. It was just probably my imagination."

Sora frowned even more, Infiny would never blow off anything like a noise. She'd speculate about all week, about how it was a werewolf, or the headless houseman looking for his head, or some other nonsense.

She smiled at him and walked off mumbling something about taking a nap, all the while Sora merely nodded and waved her a goodbye. He saw Riku perched on the Poapu tree and thought the he should have a conversation within him concerning what had just happened.

Sora sat with Riku on the tree before asking, "Has Infiny been acting strange to you, at all?"

Riku looked over at Sora, his expression serious, "Strange? No. why? What happened?"

"Nothing, Infiny just thought that she heard something. It obviously had freaked her out. But she said that it was nothing, and walked off. I think she mentioned taking a nap." Sora wore a puzzled expression.

"That does seem strange of Infiny." Riku admitted looking to the sea.

"Don't worry, she's probably still out of it from the zip-line training," Sora reasoned, an almost forced grin on his face.

"Maybe. but still." Riku frowned.

"Besides," Sora continued, "if anything were wrong, she'd tell us, right?"

"I hope so." Riku answered quietly.

Infiny: Yep, chapter 2 is out! And I need to work on 'Secrets' as it is my favorite/best fic in my opinion. I just have to write longer chapters. Oh yeah! That reminds me, this chapter's a little over 2 pages and 707 words! Go me! Yeah. I'm pathetic
