She wasn't sure how long it had been now. How many days had passed, or years for that matter. All she knew was that she had been traveling these dark corridors for awhile now. Everything looked the same. Dark and black. Heartless and other monsters though kept her company. It was a wonder she still had sanity.

A withdrawn, dull look was in Aqua's sky blue eyes. She was beyond tired. Worst of all..she was...sad. As simple as that, it was everything she was these days. The realm of darkness did take a lot out of anyone, even those with the brightest light in their hearts. Her thoughts were often on Ven and Terra. What had become of them?

Her hand dug into her skin at the thought, an action she did every time her mind wandered. What she would give to see them again.. To see them smile..to know that they were safe..

A tear glided down her cheek which she quickly brushed away. She had to be strong. For them. If there really was any way out of here, she couldn't let the darkness get to her. A somber smile came to Aqua's face and she continued her walk in search of the light..

In another world, one different from any other that a keyblade wielder had ventured to was a village. Children ran down the streets after school had let out, probably running to get something to eat or heading home. Along the buildings, a girl with black hair and eyes sat atop a roof top. She was looking at the sky curiously, as if seeing something.

"Michiko? What's up?" A pink haired girl in red clothing came up behind her before sitting down next to her. Michiko briefly looked over before her gaze went up once more. "Someone is sad...and in pain."

Sakura sighed and shook her head. "Of course Naruto is. I caught him peeping on me. That explains the pain, and sadness from being rejected." she laughed. To her surprise the black haired girl shook her head. "No..I..I can't explain who it is..But I can sense their emotions." she had said with a quiet, soft tone.

Sakura raised an eyebrow before she too looked up. She had been friends with this girl, Michiko Haruka since they were younger. She had never been good at making friends, seeing as how Michiko didn't go to school had none to begin with. Sakura realized she wasn't mean to be a ninja, and instead focused her energy elsewhere. She had an amazing intuition to read the emotions of others, with the ability to sense them and in turn felt it herself. At times the emotions were strong enough, at a distance Michiko could find them.

"It's..It's so terrible Sakura. I feel so..hopeless. But something..I'm not sure what, keeps me hopeful. I've never felt this way before." she sniffed, dabbing her watery eyes with her kimono.

"It's that bad?" A wide eyed Sakura asked and received a nod in response. It was silent a few moments, the pink haired ninja doing her best to comfort her friend. "I wonder who in the village it is.." she trailed off, but nothing came to mind.

"They're not in the village."

"W-What?"

Michiko shrugged. "I'm not sure how. It's close..but at the same time far."

The two pondered awhile, whilst watching the sunset and wondering who it could be, and if they could possibly help.

I don't own any Kingdom Hearts or Naruto characters. But I do own my OC Michiko!
