Sai: This is a rewriten version. A little more adult and the rateing is higher... It's better written than the original post... A simester of English 2 can really teach you alot about 'past, present, and future' tense... I'll delete the original one after a few more weeks... This version is the final one... Hope ya like it... DISCLAIMER!

Disclaimer Voice: Alright... Jeez... sweatdrop Sai-ryo Aura Feana doesn't own Kingdom Hearts, the Final Fantasy Series, or any other anime or manga that appears in this fic... she only clam's her own characters, which appear later and that includes me unfortunately, and some of the names she uses! Now lawyers can't sue us for the shirts off our back, or rip our living flesh off of us. Don't you have more to say, Sai?

Sai: Hmmm? Oh! Careful, there's alot of very foul language, blood, gore, and some other stuff... Read at own risk... This is not a Yaoi story... I'll name the pairings later... Enjoy!

Prologue

A strange world where it's eternal night and a full moon hangs like a sun in the clear sky. A beach with black, silverish sand and dark coral form's eerie figures along the coast. Arches of black stone, loomed over the small beach and a large boulder lies in the center of the beach, over looking the calm ocean. Along the shore a bottle lays, a letter curled up neatly inside. The wave's splash gently around the glass as it shimmers in the dim light of the moon. The letter seems slightly aged, as if it has been there for years. The letter reads;

"I watch from afar...

Knowing I can never go back to the way things once were.

My dark past follows me like a shadow...

Never letting a day go by that doesn't remind me of my wrongful mistake.

So many years have past now...

Too many to remember...

Too painful to forget...

The shadows of Darkness continue to call to me even now,

But I still fight on in hope of seeing you two.

Many see me as a shadow...

A mere shell of who I once was...

A Non-Existent One...

A N.E.O. being of darkness...

A dark one sent to destroy,

But I'm not like that anymore.

I wander here and there searching for the things I wanted most...

But I now know all I ever really wanted,

Was all I lost to the Darkness as a result."
