Heavy spoilers. Post-game.
Rated for swearing.
Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts? Mine? I can't even put those words in the same sentence, and if that were actually true, then I would be rich and not writing fanfiction of what I already own. So no, Kingdom Hearts is not mine (oh, wait! I successfully put the words in the same sentence!)
"He made me feel like I had a heart."
Fading. He was fading away.
There was no pain to be felt, mentally or physically.
He knew that he was disappearing into nothingness. He could see the black tendrils of darkness licking at his body, greedily claiming him for their own. After all, he had put all of his being into that last attack. If he even had a being, that was. Either way, he was a goner.
Before he completely disappeared, he knew he had to say one more thing to the spiky haired brunette kneeling next to his prostrate body.
"You… made me feel the same."
He saw the worry and surprise in Sora's blue eyes. The surprise was probably from what he had just declared. As for the other emotion… Ha. Worry for a Nobody? The notion itself was laughable. The sentiment would be wasted on a creature like himself, after all.
He was running out of time. Summoning the last bits of his energy, he opened up a Corridor of Darkness, and watched as Sora and his strange comrades (a talking duck and a talking dog?) disappeared through it. It would take the brunette to the castle where Kairi was held captive by Saix.
Saix. No. Saix was merely the empty shell of Isa. Then again, he was the empty shell of Lea, Isa's best friend. Saix could never make him "feel" anything. Roxas did. Sora did. Isa never had the chance, because he and Lea ceased to exist the day Saix and Axel were born.
He wondered whether he'd ever see Isa again or not. Heh. Why was he thinking about the best friend of his Somebody, and where was he even getting all of these sentimental thoughts from? He shouldn't have been able to feel any sentimental value, or anything, for that matter. He was a Nobody: a heartless creature.
Whatever. With his job done, he could rest. Not that he would be going to an afterlife or anything. No, it would be like he never existed.
His conscious was fading. It wouldn't be long before he completely vanished. He closed his eyes.
Good bye, Isa.
Hello, everyone! This is my second fanfic, and I hope you enjoy reading it. It will be a fic that delves more into the friendship between Isa and Lea, and it is set after Kingdom Hearts II. I'll try to keep all the characters in character as I see them.
The story is mainly based on Mr. Nomura's statement from an interview: when a Heartless gets destroyed by the keyblade and its heart joins with Kingdom Hearts, and then its Nobody dies, it makes them whole again.
I'm going to break a few things that are canon, though. This fic will not pay attention to anything from KH 3D (and at the time of writing this, the game has yet to come out). I also forget whether or not the Heartless completely disappear from Radiant Gardens, so I'm just going to say that there are still some Heartless remaining in the worlds. Adds more interest that way, and I don't have to get around to making some new enemies.
I have one question for readers, and I would be grateful if it was answered. Do I have to put disclaimers on every single chapter in my fics?
That about wraps up my very long author's note. Oh, yes. If there are any grammar or spelling errors, inconsistencies in verb tense, sentences that don't make sense, or anything that looks remotely out of place, please PM me so I can review the fic and fix those mistakes. I don't have a beta for this story, and after rereading my own writing five times or more, my eyes skim over some errors.
Feel free to leave constructive criticism (it really helps!) or other remarks. Thank you for reading.
Also, thank you to everyone who reviewed my first fic. It made me really happy.
