Hey everyone! So here it is, my side story Kingdom Hearts Another Side, Another Story!
BEFORE YOU READ: This story takes place between my other two fanfics Kingdom Hearts: Light and Darkness and Kingdom Hearts III: The Keyblade War. If you have not read those, stop reading this story and at least go read KHLAD first. Most likey, you will not have a clue to what I am talking about in this story if you dont read that first so please go read that. Also, as you all know the KH series is a little confusing, so if you dont get something, just go and google what you are confused about and I am sure the answer will be there for you.
So i desided to release this during KH3, even though i thought i wouldnt, but i did. My dream id for me to update both stories every day, but dout that will happen with school staring soon and just having a lot of stuff going on. This story will probably be updated every so often. If you guys want to picture an opening for this, picture most of the events that have happened in Xions life, and sprinkled on events of KHLAD. For the song, either one will do, i like simple and clean, but i think both really fit.
I do not own Kingdom Hearts! I only own the orginal worlds, and ocs, nothing else!
Enjoy...
She opened up her eyes to see the orange and yellow coloring of the sky looking down on her. She was stiff, and this made moving hard for her, since she has not moved in awhile. She moved her head though, looking around at her surroundings, trying to figure out where she was. She looked over on one side and saw a short wall hiding part of the sun that looked like it was at twilight. She then looked over to her other side to see a familiar building, the Twilight Town Station.
I'm in Twilight Town, she thought, Am I dead? As soon as her body wasn't stiff anymore, she slowly got up. Walking on her two feet carefully, she went over to the building. She then looked at her reflection in the glass, and was completely shocked by what she saw. She was wearing her Organization XIII robe, that was now fit to her obviously grown body. She had the same eyes, same face, and same body, only matured. Only clear difference she could point out was her hair, which was still shiny and black, but was now halfway down her back. She had to take a second look from the sight of it, because she couldn't believe she was herself, she was Xion.
Doubting herself from what she saw, she took her hand and placed it on her cheek. The gloves that she had on when she was in the Organization where still on her hands, but she could feel the smoothness of her cheek as her hand went down her face. She then took the ends of her heir and put it in her hands, feeling the multiple strands in her finger tips. She was not used to having long hair, and she knew sooner or later the long hair would have to go. She then took her hand and placed it on the glass of the station, touching it and looking back at her reflection. She knew then, that this was for real.
She then began to run through her mind at how this was actually happening. How was she here, looking as if she was her own person? She remembered all of her own memories, the days on the clock tower with Roxas and Axel, being destroyed by Roxas, going back to Sora. She also remembered some of Sora's memories, of what happened after that, but not a whole lot. She only seemed to remember the events that occurred with Roxas, Axel- well now Lea, and, even though they where very brief, of Riku. That was all she really could remember, unfortunately, since she wished she could have remembered more so she could figure out why she was here.
"Um, excuse me," a sweet, teenage girl's voice said behind her. She turned around to see Hayner, Pence, and Olette, some of Roxas's old friends. "Sorry, but we need to get into the station."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Xion replied, speaking for the first time in a while. As the three teens began to walk up the stairs into the building, Xion thought for a moment. Who do they see me as? She thought. She knew that all the members of the Organization saw her as different people, Roxas and Axel being the only ones that saw her as the girl she really was. She figured that they would probably see her as Roxas, or Sora, or Kairi. But if she really was herself, maybe they would see her as the way Roxas and Axel saw her. That is when she stopped the teens. "Wait," the three teenagers then came to a halt, "could you please do me a favor and tell me what I look like?"
The three friends then looked at Xion confused, Hayner being the one that looked the most. Pence tilled his head slightly at the question, as Olette just kept her eyes one her. "Well, your very pretty," Hayner said, receiving a death glare form Xion and getting an elbow in the gut from Olette.
"I'm mean what I look like in appearance." She corrected them, knowing that was probably Hayner just being Hayner but needed to remind them.
"Well, your wearing a long black coat, black boots, black gloves." Olette said, Xion not knowing how she could see her boots under her coat but took it anyway.
"Long black hair, blue eyes," Pence added. "Its funny, you actually look like you could be a twin to someone we know." With this Olette and Hayner nodded in agreement, Xion knowing who that person was without them even saying her name.
So they do see me as myself,Xion thought. She was then positive that she was her own person, and she could not believe it. The only problem she faces now was how she was. She wanted to find out, just in case she needed to go back to be with Sora again or something. So with that she looked at the teens and nodded. "Thanks," she said to them before she began to walk away.
As soon as Xion was a few feet away, she was stopped once again by that sweet voice. "Wait, you didn't tell us your name." Olette said.
Xion paused for a moment before she told them her name. "Xion." She said staring back at the three teens.
"It's nice to meet you Xion. My name is Olette." She said to the former member of Organization XIII.
"I'm Hayner." The blonde said.
"And my name is Pence." The other boy said.
Trust me, I know.She wanted to say, but she met her mouth shut. "It's nice to meet you all." Was all Xion said.
"Do you need to go and do anything important now?" Olette asked, Xion shaking her head in response. "Well we were going to go and just sit on the clock tower, do you want to come?"
Xion at first looked at them confused. She had just met them and they were inviting her to come and sit with them. She thought it was funny though, because she actually felt... happy. She thought that nobodies, or replicas in her case, could not feel. But really her, Roxas, and Lea have had feelings this whole time. This time, she had to go by her feelings and trust them. "Sure, I have nothing else better to do." She said, Olette and Pence smiling in response.
"Well then come on, lets go." Pence said as they all began to walk up the stairs into the station.
...
They made it up to the top of the station in a few short minutes and finally where able to sit down on top of it. As soon as they got up there, Xion began to remember the days she, Roxas, and Axel spent on top of it, eating that sea salt ice cream, laughing about the things Axel said, the day she attacked Roxas and he destroyed her...
Xion sat on top of the building with her legs hanging off of the side, like she did back when she was in the Organization. Hayner, Pence, and Olette sat in a similar position, Hayner at the end, Pence in the middle, and Olette sitting next to him and Xion. They all sat there tot a few minutes as Olette pulled something out of no where, sea salt ice cream. Xion remembered from Roxas's memories that they always seemed to do stuff like that. So as soon as Pence and Hayner got their bar, Olette offered Xion one of the last two, which she gladly took, and began to eat. The flavor was just like she remembered, salty but sweet.
"So Xion tell us, is this your first time to Twilight Town?" Hayner asked, face covered in ice cream.
Xion hesitated. "No I have been here hundreds of times before, this is my first time in a long time though." Xion replied, almost retreating the words as they came out of her mouth.
"You have? What have you done all that time?" Pence asked. Xion then stared out at the ground, having brief flashbacks of the times her, Roxas, and Axel spent on that clock tower, eating ice cream and laughing. Xion tried not to cry when she thought of the memories.
"Nothing really." Xion replied. Everyone then continued to eat their ice cream, letting the amazing flavor back into their mouths.
"Wait, your first time in awhile?" Olette asked, Xion nodding in reply. "Why didn't you come back in awhile?"
Xion paused again. "I guess I just realized doing nothing was boring." She said, Olette and Pence laughing at this but Hayner seemed to take it seriously.
"Well if this town is so 'boring' why did you come back then?" He asked angrily.
Xion paused for the last time. "I don't know, maybe it was just destiny." Where Xion's only words. She then looked over to the trio, who looked at each other before giggling. "What is so funny?" She asked.
Pence then looked at her. "Nothing, it's just, what you just said, 'maybe it was just destiny'. It really showed us how much you are like that friend we told you about, not just how you look, but how you act." He said.
Xion looked at them, snickering under her breath before letting out a smile and looking at the sun. "You mean Kairi." She said, closing her eyes when she said the name.
"Wait, you know her?" Olette asked.
"Through mutual friends." Xion replied. Pence and Olette then looked at Hayner, who simply shrugged his shoulders, before all of them went back to eating their ice cream.
Xion kept her eyes closed as she began to think. Even though she loved doing this, sitting with friends and eating ice cream, feeling emotions. She knew that she had to find out why she was free, if Roxas was freed as well, why she wasn't with Sora. She knew that she had to find out if she had to go back to be with him, so she could do just that. She needed answers, and she was going to do whatever it took to find them out.
Little did Xion know, this was only the beginning of her new journey.
