Embrace to Awaken
Prologue
The boy was talking to that blonde man again. She watched from the large balcony that jutted off from the meeting room. The teenager laughed at something and the other shook his head. She frowned at the display. The boy had far too much light still in him.
Yes, he had performed every task given to him flawlessly. He did everything exactly as she wanted, not questioning. She didn't even have to spell out what needed to be done with him. He seemed to instinctively know and at times it seemed he had a plan before she even finished explaining the assignment.
In essence, he was the perfect minion.
But she didn't have control over him. He was only doing this to save his friend and there was only so long she could delay the inevitable. She hated to lose the boy. There had to be a way to keep him here. If not, then he would become another expendable asset.
"Hey, there you are."
She stared up at the sky and cursed the gods. "What is it, Hades?"
"Just, uh, wondering what the next move was." Blue flames flickered in the breeze and he studied his nails. "Getting bored with all this, ya know?"
"I'm terribly sorry." She said dryly, returning her attention to the courtyard.
"What are you lookin' at?" The Lord of the Dead stepped up beside her. He frowned, eyes narrowing. "What's he doing here?"
"He comes here often."
Hades stared down at the pair. "Looks to me your boy there is completely taken by blondie."
"Indeed." Maleficent spoke neutrally. She didn't like this at all. The blonde warrior had worked for Hades, that was how her newest acquisition had met him. She had noted immediately that the two had instantly connected. It hadn't been an issue for both had the same type of job and neither interfered with the other.
However the blonde had ultimately failed in his task. He had the perfect opportunity to eliminate that troublesome Keyblade master and he didn't. She was still disappointed with Hades for not managing to destroy his former lackey for his failure.
The blonde would be a bad influence. They could not afford to lose this boy. Especially if what Xehanort believed was true and so far he'd been dead on with his assessments. They needed this child to complete their goals.
Another laugh rang through the air.
Hades snorted. "The kid reminds me of that creep you wanted to bring in."
"Who?"
"Oh you know." Hades waved a hand. "The guy we're not supposed to talk about because he totally insulted you when you tried to get him to join us. The one with the wing."
Oh, him. Yes, she had forgotten about him. Glancing at her little project, the similarities were suddenly very obvious. The same silver hair, the same facial structure, even the expressions were often the same.
"They both got those weird glowy green eyes." Hades commented, folding his arms. "Ya know, Blondie has those glowy eyes too. Course, he and He Who Must Not Be Named come from the same world. Maybe the kid's from there too."
Maleficent narrowed her eyes in thought. A bony finger tapped her chin. Now there was an intriguing idea. The boy was certainly unique. Perhaps there was something to Hades' theory.
There was only one way to find out.

This one has evolved from an idea I got from LunaLocket. I'm sure it's totally not what she expected but how it's enjoyable none the less. This is a collaboration with Riku-Rocks so she is to get as much credit as I do. I'm just the one actually posting it.
There will be yaoi eventually and we just plan to have fun with this. Please leave you're initial reactions and the first chapter will be up something next week.
