Summary: Sora is the Keyblade master, and he has Heartless attacking him left and right. But what if one took a liking to him and refused to believe she is as evil as everyone thinks? Based off the manga, so there are some differences to the game.
Disclaimer: I do not, I repeat DO NOT own Kingdom Hearts, Disney, or Heartless. Well, maybe this specific Heartless...

Chapter 1 - So I'm a Heartless'

No, gotta... get away... they're coming... Mom.. Dad.. Where are you..?' A small figure opened its eyes to find itself in a dark alley. The figure sat up and rubbed its sore head. 'Where am I?' It thought through the blinding pain. It tried to stand, but nearly fell unconscious again from shock. It looked around her, eyes wide open. This couldn't be right! Why was everything so much larger than it? It sat back down, trying to remember what happened.

….

….

Nothing. The lttle creature couldn't remember anything from the last 24 hours but black. Lots and lots of black. It rubbed its head again, this time in the back, where it hurt the most. It stopped when its hand touched something unfamiliar. It traced its hand down it. It was… an antenna?! There was another one on the other side too! It couldn't remember having those before... Rushed over to a nearby puddle and looking into it, it gasped to see the reflection of a Shadow Heartless staring back at it. It looked itself over in shock.

It's antennae, unlike that of a normal shadow, were slightly curlier, almost feminine in a way. It also was slightly less pudgy than what people always interpret any ordinary Shadow, complete with slight curves. Well at least the creature knew it was a girl. Female Heartless were uncommon but not unheard of.

'I couldn't have always been like this, could I?' The Shadow thought. 'There's gotta be someone who can help clear it up!' She ran out of the alley, looking for somewhere to go. She quickly realized she was in a town. She was amazed to see so many signs and lights. 'No, stay focused! There's bound to be somebody here..' The town was a little larger than she thought, but still wanted to find answers.

Spotting a sign nearby, She walked up to read it. 'Traverse Town - First District'. Nope, never heard of the place. Still, she couldn't get used to the feeling of everything being bigger than her. After a couple more minutes of searching, she saw a young boy in the distance and decided to ask him. He had to know something. For some reason her eyes kept being drawn to the boy's chest, but as soon as she was in talking distance, the boy spotted her. "NO! NOT AGAIN!! GO AWAY!!" He shouted and ran away.

The Heartless sweatdroped. 'Alrighty then...' She thought and tried to find someone else. She found an old blind man sitting on a bench. She smiled and walked over to him.

He must have heard her coming, because he was smiling in her general direction. "Hey there kiddo! What brings you over here?" He asked.

She answered, or at least tried to, only to quickly find out she wasn't able to speak. All that came out was a series of squeaks and growls.

"What's with all the weird noises kid? You sound like one of them Heartless." He stopped when he reached out to pat her head, only to feel the antennae clarifying she was indeed a Heartless. "Y-You are a Heartless! Back, you demon!" He shouted and waved his cane at her, luckily missing.

She was frightened by the sudden action and raced off to seek safety; in the accessory shop. She pushed open the doors, the bell jingling above her.

"Hello, and welcome to my— HOLY CRUD!" said the rather gruff looking shopkeeper, turning around. He grabbed the nearest thing, which was a rather large and menacing looking wrench. "Don't come any closer now!" he shouted at the confused Heartless. 'Why is everyone afraid of me? And why do I find so much interest in their chests?' the Heartless thought.

She was about to run off when the man came up grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and held her at arms length in front of him. She didn't really like that; it was a little painful actually. She tried clawing at him, even though she knew she couldn't reach, hoping to scare him into putting her back down. By putting down, it was most likely drop like a rock.

"You're are feisty lil fella, aren't ya." He said. It was a statement rather than a question. He shouldered the wrench and looked her over. She just hung there wondering what was so interesting about her. After a few seconds, she was put back down. "Okay, you're a girl. You seem harmless. Go on out of here, and stay away from people. Not everyone is as willing to let you live as I am."

She stared back at him for a second, and turned around out of the shop. She decided to crawl back into her alley to get some rest. Sure it didn't look very comfortable, but so far no one chased her out of it. She gave one last look at the accessory shop before going to sleep. 'Maybe that man might know something...' She thought, and drifted to sleep.
