Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy or any of its characters. Welcome to the wonderful world of Fanfiction!
Warning: This fic contains at least SHOUNEN-AI (guys kissin' and cuddlin') and possibly YAOI (explicit sex scenes between guys). And implied pedophile.
Pairings(in Alphabetically order): Axel X Roxas, Leon X Cloud, Riku X Sora, Tidus X Wakka X Tidus
Author's Note: I have wanted to write this for so long but I kept telling myself that I would have to finish some of my other fics first. Now that I have I can happily write this fic. This is new for me since the fic is about regaining memories the pairings are about even. Some people get together before others, but they should be about even.
Please note that if a character is not originally from KH than I use their age stated in their own video game. This fic is based three years after Kingdom Hearts began so: Sora, Kairi, and Roxas are 18; Riku, Yuffie are 19; Selphie, Titus, Leon are 20; Cloud is 24; Wakka is 26; Axel and the any other members of organization XIII are in their late twenties early thirties (but they don't remember).
Happy Reading!

Memory 1: The Beginning
The three friends stood around the message that Kairi had found in a bottle, it was from King Mickey. "I would like to thank you for what you have done for Kingdom Hearts, but sadly your memories will be erased at this time they would be dangerous to you to keep your memories of Kingdom Hearts." The beach was suddenly blocked out by a brilliant white light.
When the light cleared the three teenagers looked around and than down at their blank message. Blue eyes looked up to his silver haired friend, "But, King Mic…"
"Mickey, left us that message. So why do we remember?" answered Riku.
Kairi looked at the boys as if they were insane, "What are you two talking about?"
Just than the blank scroll began to show new words as if someone held the pen and were writing them that second, "I see your hearts are strong. So Sora, Riku, Roxas I will have to separate you three." Once more the white light filled everyone's vision.
-----
Sora stood on the beach looking for Riku, he knew that it was childish to still have an imaginary friend at the age of sixteen, but he just couldn't stop playing with Riku; they would race and sword fight, they were the best of friends.
Suddenly the spiky brunette noticed his other best friend Kairi running towards him a bottle in hand, "Sora I found a message in a bottle! And I think it is for you."
Unfurling the yellowish paper the two friends read the message,
"Sora,
Don't look for me anymore. I had to leave for the time being, but we'll see each other again it is Fate. Don't worry so much either- you are very strong, Take Care.
-R"
The rest of the letter was smudged out but the blue eyed brunette, knew that it was from his imaginary friend-Riku.
----------
Sora smiled reading the message that had been found in the bottle only two years prior, sadly though he could not remember the full name of his imaginary friend. But right now he couldn't dwell on things of the past, today he was moving into his college dorm. He was to be a student on the large island of the Myth Archipelago, Fate Island at the College of Fate.
Today was also the beginning orientation for the best weapons club/class in the whole continent. So Sora needed to unpack his dorm room and get to his orientation. Stepping into his dorm room he notices that the moving helpers on campus had moved in all the stuff he had shipped here a week ago, smiling he looked around the room.
There were two beds, two desks, etc. and he could see that one side of the room had already been claimed, by his roommate who was nowhere in sight. Throwing his overnight bag on the blue mattress of the empty bed near the door, Sora sighed and began to unpack.
As he unpacked he began to think of his friends from his little nowhere island, Destiny Island. He thought that it was rather funny that Tidus who wanted so badly to get into Fate University where there was one of the best Blitzball teams, didn't have the grades to make it. And Kairi who would have preferred to follow Sora ended up with a great scholarship to Fate City University.
So here at the College of Fate was the new freshman Sora, the juniors Titus, and Selphie who he was pretty sure was attached to her equally hyper roommate, her name started with a Y that he knew that. Sometimes he hated his memory. Wakka who had just recently gotten his masters degree was working on his PhD at Fate University.
The brunette was brought out of his thoughts by the knock on the door, putting down his bed sheets, he answered the door to see the blue eyed blond his island friend, Tidus, "Hey Sora, how's the room besides being on the third floor?"
"Hey Tidus, it isn't bad. My roommate was already moved in, so I didn't have much of a choice of which bed I wanted, you know," replied Sora.
"Well that suck, is he at least nice?" asked Tidus.
"I haven't met him yet, just his stuff which is all pretty impersonal."
Tidus snickered, "Just hope he isn't like my roommate all quiet and broody, you'll meet him soon he is weapon's captain. He actually started the whole club."
Nodding the brunette looked at his friend, "So where is your room?"
There was a pause, Tidus shifted a bit, "On the first floor, 103, but you know I'm rarely there," there was another moment of silence, "Hey I'll let you go you need to be to the weapons room in twenty minutes."
The blond left and Sora turned quickly surveying his half unpacked belongings, now which box was his sword in? Frantically searching for five minutes the island boy finally came out victorious. Holding up the keyblade he smiled and ran for the door.
As he walked out he ran straight into someone. The two boys looked at each other taking in the spiky hair and blue eyes. "You know you look familiar," commented Sora.
"You do too-"
The lighter haired of the two were cut off by some snide comments from passing upperclassmen, "Did they try looking in a mirror? Of course they look familiar."
Another added, "The first day and the freshmen are so drunk they forget about their twins."
Ignoring the upperclassmen, the blond ran into the room and a split second later returned with two cases in hand, "You're going to weapons orientation too, right? Hurry up we're going to be late!"
The two boys then proceeded to run down the three flights of stairs, and across the street to the gymnasium where the weapons club met regularly. If that was all they would have made it in time, but then they needed to go down another flight of stairs and to the room on the far end.
Bursting into the room the two sets of identical blue eyes met cold grey eyes. Suddenly there was an energetic squeal, "Sora! Come over here quick Leon won't repeat himself," the brunette girl than turned to the female beside her, "Yuffie, look that who I was telling you about, see he is so adorable he doesn't look a day over fifteen," once the boys got close enough she squealed again, "Ooo hey look a Sora clone, and he is just as cute!"
"Selphie," growled the brunette who was previously glaring at the two boys who were late. The girl immediately shut up and the grey eyes scanned his line of new members, "O-ke, So first let me say that I am Leon Leonhart, I am the captain of this club, and a third year. Our designated teachers are usually late and will be here shortly. Since this is a weapons club I have a copy of your personal files to give to the teachers. So now I would like you to all take turns telling everyone your name, age, class, where you come from, weapon, and how long you have been practicing."
"Don't sound too excited Leon," commented Yuffie.
A silver haired boy from amongst the onlookers of members of the club stepped forward, "Thanks for volunteering Yuffie."
"I am kunoichi Yuffie Kisaragi, nineteen-year-old third year. I come from Wutai and my weapon of choice is this large shuriken, and I've been practicing for nearly ten years. Now let Cloud go!" said the ninja smiling.
A blond who looked a bit like Tidus on the opposite end of the line from Sora sighed, "Cloud Strife, 24, second year, Nibelheim, Buster Sword or First Tsurugi, and I'm not sure but I can beat Yuffie."
Said girl stuck her tongue out at the blond. Leon looked at Cloud for a moment before questioning, "You're a 24-year-old second year?"
"I'm an ex-SOLIDER, there were some circumstances," replied Cloud crossing his arms across his chest.
The room was silent for a moment before Selphie spoke up, "I'm Selphie Tilmitt, and I am here because Leon wouldn't let Yuffie join unless I joined too. Of course he did this without really knowing how hyper I am but I can't complain. I'm a year older than Yuffie, and I come from Destiny Island with Sora! My dad was from the mainland so that's why I have a last name. But I spent some time with Trabia Garden, and then Balamb Garden with Leon and Riku, Garden is where I learned to use my Nunchaku. Now it's your turn kiddo."
"Aa, I'm Sora, I'm from Destiny Island, and we islanders don't have last names. I'm eighteen and am a first year. I never practiced sword but I found this Keyblade in my room and I was told that it was my fathers and I should learn to wield it," said Sora with a determined face holding the Keyblade against his chest.
Leon looked at the boy carefully, "Riku, you are the Keyblade master here, he is yours to teach," the silver haired boy that reprimanded Yuffie nodded, and Leon turned to the last in the line, "speak Sora's twin."
"I am not Sora's twin. My name is Kenboushou Shimeinashi, I usually go by Ken," replied the blond Sora-look-alike Leon rose an eyebrow the boy was named 'loss of memory' 'without a name', "I wield the Keyblades: Oblivion and Oathkeeper, and I know how to use them."
Everything was silent, in the room waiting for the boy to continue when he didn't; Leon snapped, "Continue."
"Maybe his memory is bad," said someone in towards the back.
Turning around immediately Ken began to speak, "Leon is wearing a white t-shirt, under an open black leather short sleeved jacket that has a red ankh like symbol on the left sleeve that matches the identical silver symbol on his necklace. Black leather gloves, and on your left arm he has three brown leather belts like bracelets, also on the left arm. He is wearing black leather pants with a total of four belts; one black one acting in the usual manner of a belt at his waist the other black belt starts at the top of his left hip and goes to the bottom of his right hip. Much in the fashion of the two brown belts, that shares a buckle in the center where they cross. There are three buckles on each side of his pants, and the stitching on his pants is red. He is wearing grey boots also with red stitching. There is a scar about ten centimeters long running from between his grey-blue eyes down and towards his left eye. He has feathered shoulder length brown hair… must I go on."
"He's got photographic memory," giggled Selphie, "don't you wish you did too Sora?"
Sora pouted, "I wish my memory was that good."
People in the crowd that the new-comers didn't know began to question, "How old are you Ken?"
"Where are you from?"
"How long did it take you to learn to dual wield?"
Ken took a step back his blue eyes wide; he looked down at the ground his body began to shake. Confused Leon began to flip through his files looking for Ken's file. The room filled with chatter and worried looks, no one new what to do. This seemed to make the boy freak out worse fear visible in his bright blue eyes came out in drops. The two Keyblade cases fell to the floor.
Grey eyes found the file for which he was looking for. There was no information filled in, all there was, was one sentence scrolled across the whole page, "Kare wa kenboushou motta soshite shimeinashi desu." This was ridiculous he knew that the College of Fate was a place of hiding of sanctuary; that was why Riku, and he were there, and most likely the reason Cloud was there as well. But this kid, to have amnesia and have no name! This kid could be twelve and no one would know.
Suddenly the door opened and everyone in the room except for Ken turned to see who it was. In the doorway stood two men dressed in black a dirty blond with what looked like a large blue guitar, and a red head holding two Chakram.
There was a pause of baited breath and then the Chakram fell, "Roxas!" the red head ran and slammed the blond against the wall, "you're alive, oh I missed you Roxas."
"Who are you?" cried the blond in the red head's arms.
"The Name is Axel, A-X-E-L got it memorized?" the red head, Axel said.
The blond nodded, "And you know who I am?"
"Hai, hai you're Roxas, R-O-X-A-S got it memorized? I mean me and Demyx lost our memories too but I refused to forget you and a few other little things," said Axel with a smile.
"Why me?"
Axel leaned forward and smiled wiping away the tears coming from the bright blue eyes, "Because I care about you."
"Demyx, can you tell us what's going on?" asked Riku stepping up to the blond teacher that had barely stepped from the door.
Leaning slightly on his Sitar, Demyx nodded, "Well you remember how we told you that we had amnesia. Well Axel didn't forget everything. He said that we were part of Organization XIII which was a bunch of people who had lost their memories. He loved Roxas, but some Sora kid took Roxas away and the next thing he remembers is waking up outside the weapons shop."
The silver head nodded, "You mean that Sora?"
Green eyes with little black tattoos under them turned upon the name 'Sora', he glared at the island boy, "You, you don't you go near my Roxas. You won't take him from me again!"
"Axel, calm down, remember you said you believe everyone lost their memories since you vaguely remember Riku but he doesn't remember us," said Demyx walking up to his friend and placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey isn't Roxas a student, and Axel a teacher it's illegal for them to be together right?" asked one of the students, interrupting what Riku was going to say.
Before anyone could react Roxas asked meekly, "Axel, how old am I?"
"I don't even know how old I am, but your in luck I know you're the same age as Sora," replied Axel smiling when he turned towards Sora he glared.
Sora smiled a bit wearily, "Eighteen."
"Isn't Axel, about 28-years-old? If they were lovers before then he is a pedophile!" exclaimed one of the students.
Suddenly Leon and Riku (who had been dragged there) stood between the ex-members of Organization XIII and everyone else in the room. Leon glared, "I started this club last year, and the only way we could form was to get a teacher to supervise, I found Demyx and Axel at the weapons shop in town, and they are the only reason we are allowed to be here. I know that most of you came to this Archipelago to escape something, and that most of you only know how to do combat. So if you want to come here tomorrow, then no one will breathe a word. Now leave."
Author's Note: So the whole gang is there (basically) I have got to say that I love the members of Organization XIII so I'm saying when they died and all they returned to from whom they came but Mickey had to separate most of them, in the mass memory erase. More people will show up in the next few chapters.
I have got to that I was about ready to kill Disney for blatantly murdering history and fairy tales. And then they made KH and all my favorite FF characters were in one game! So the saved their rep a little. I got to say that my straight male friends while playing KH thought that Kairi was made as a good friend of Riku and Sora's since without her it was too obvious that those two were gay, and Disney can't do gay.
Anyway I hope you enjoyed it. Please review no matter what.
