~Missing Embrace~
Summary: Embracing you was just the same as searching for the little bit of light that shines within the darkness, the light I need and love. But now, there is only an empty, cold and indescribable feeling inside me that calls out for that embrace. (Vanitas x Xion)
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy, I just own the storyline.
Enjoy.
Chapter One
An obsidian haired girl happily skipped through the field of snow-white daisies and long grass, her cheery attitude radiated warmth, which made literally anyone smile. Her cobalt blue eyes twinkled with happiness and reflected the sapphire sky. Her milky, fair skin complimented her dark hair and light eyes.
She caught the sight of a shady tree at a certain, isolated corner of the school field which protected the area from heat.
'Just what I need on a hot day like today,' she thought happily with a smile graced across her rosy lips.
The raven haired girl cautiously placed herself on the soft grass and began to hum a soft tune. The tune could be described as a tragic lullaby, probably sung by a mother who would never see her son or daughter again.
"Xion!" the obsidian haired girl immediately stopped humming at the sound of her name being called by two feminine voices simultaneously.
She looked up to see a girl with pale skin, shoulder length flaxen hair and crystal blue eyes. She wore the same uniform as her which consisted of a white blouse, a blue plaid skirt, stockings and a tie. Next to her was a girl who looked similar to the blonde, but she had wine red hair that was the same length and unusual coloured eyes, which was a mix between blue and lavender.
Xion sent a smile in their direction with a friendly wave as she watched them walk towards her quickly.
"Xion, what are you doing here? It's so quiet and lonely. Don't you want to have lunch with us?" the red haired girl questioned with furrowed eyebrows.
"I already had lunch, there's still twenty minutes left so I thought I'd sing for a while," the raven haired girl responded with a smile. She immediately turned her attention to her blonde haired friend. "What happened to you? Why's your face so red, Naminé?" she teased her shy friend.
"I -I, uh," the blonde stuttered before she attempted to continue, "Roxas said he liked me, and I told him I like him too, so we're together now," she finished as she felt her face grow warmer as each second went by.
"Finally!" the other two cheered happily.
"I was going to ask her about her strawberry face, but I thought I should wait until we found you," Kairi beamed happily. "You know, we should hangout here often, there aren't many people around here," she suggested with a grin.
The other two girls agreed happily.
"Kairi, what's up with you and Sora?" the blonde questioned teasingly, immediately drawing Xion's attention to the conversation.
The red head blushed furiously with a nervous smile. "Nothing, we're just friends, why'd you ask?" she questioned as she glanced at her watch. Before the other girls could respond, Kairi spoke again, "Oh no! I have to go, or else that grumpy P.E teacher's going to kill me for last week! Nami, come with me! See you in English!" Kairi announced as she dragged the shy blonde away.
"See you guys!" Xion called out with a light chuckle.
The dark haired girl sat their in silence for a small amount of time as she got another song in her head that she wanted to sing. She laid down on the cool ground as she stared at the emerald leaves.
In you and I
There's a new land
Angels in flight
She immediately stopped singing once again as she saw two identical boys running towards her with bright smiles. She waved at them as she sat up. Both boys had golden, unruly spiky hair, sun kissed skin and ocean blue eyes.
"Hey guys!" Xion greeted them as they sat down across from her.
"Hey!" they greeted simultaneously with friendly grins.
"Guys, who's who?" confusion scrunched up Xion's face as she stared at the brothers, their resemblance was uncanny, which even made her confused sometimes.
The blonde on her right replied with a smile, "I'm the one who has sea-salt ice cream with you and that pyro," he chuckled as he finished.
The other blonde and Xion chuckled. "Okay, we get it, Roxas," she said with another laugh.
"You see this chain?" Roxas asked the two as he pointed to it, they nodded. "That's how you know I'm Roxas and not that wimp called Ventus," he joked with a laugh.
"Hey!" Ventus whined with furrowed eyebrows and a pout displayed across his lips.
The three of them laughed for a few seconds until a comfortable silence took over. The silence was broken almost immediately by Roxas, "Sorry guys, I have to go...you know, Naminé," his cheeks burned with embarrassment as he had to mention it.
His brother and best friend winked. "Go on you love birds!" Xion teased.
Once Roxas disappeared out of sight, Ventus turned his attention to the raven haired girl. "How've you been?" he asked, with a small smile as he looked the other way.
"I'm good! What about you?" she asked with a light laugh, however, her smile disappeared as soon as her gaze was fixed on a bruise on his cheek.
"I'm fine," he avoided her gaze as he tried to conceal the bruise, nervousness took over him.
"Ven, who did that to you? I can't believe it would be Roxas or Sora. Who was it?" she questioned him with a concerned expression smeared across her face as she inched closer and gently brushed her finger tips against the bruise.
He winced in response, making her flinch away. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you," she apologised as she still looked at the bruise.
"Xion," the blonde boy began as he faced her this time,"my cousin has joined the school and I think he started yesterday as he was in another school. Before you ask me about this 'cousin', he is Sora's brother. He looks exactly like Sora except for a few minor differences like hair and eye colour. He has black hair and creepy cat like eyes," Ventus stopped his speech as he looked at Xion in order to continue.
Before he continued, Xion asked,"Aw! Don't be mean! What is he like?"
"He is the opposite to Sora. While Sora is just...Sora. He is not what you would say, nice. Out of the three of us, he dislikes Sora the most and I'm in second position, with Roxas being the one he ignores," Ventus informed, a light smile spread across his face at the sight of Xion's perplexed expression.
"How come none of us knew about this twin brother?" she questioned him as she furrowed her perfectly shaped eyebrows. "And I'm guessing he did that to you? What a jerk, how could anyone do that to you?"
The blonde haired boy shrugged and quickly nodded. "You're sweet, thanks Xi!" he smiled as he stood up, glancing at his watch, "Gotta go, see you in English. There's still ten minutes but I need to go."
"Okay?" the raven haired girl waved him off as his figure started to disappear out of sight.
She sat there once again in silence as she thought of singing another song. She was glad there was a soft, sad song that was called 'Xion' or 'Who am I?'. She quietly began to sing as she lost herself into the song.
Tears, escape my blue eyes
Rainfall conceals them fully
Memories, of me are fading away
No one, will know, who I am
There was strange rustling sound. She stopped for a brief moment as she thought she heard someone grumble. Once it was silent, she continued...
Who am I, Who am I, who am I supposed to be right now?
What am I, What am I, Am I just a pup-
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" a masculine voice growled angrily, silencing the petite girl immediately.
