This is my second fanfiction ever written. It is called His Light. It is based on Kingdom Hearts 2 as well as some FF7 stuff, and it's a bit AU. It is based on the Cloud and Aerith pairing, Clerith, and I hope you enjoy it!

His Light
Chapter 1: A Scattered Memory
"Cloud..."
A voice called out my name in the darkness I had created for myself. The voice was kind and soft, yet familiar. Where? Where had I heard this voice before? I'm still searching for my light, even though most people on my journey would have given up already.
It has been about six years since I was separated from my light. Throughout these six years, I was drawn into darkness by Hades. He had promised me that if I followed him, he would return my light to me. Stupidly, I believed him. What I was thinking at the time? I really don't know myself. I only know that I was desperate to find my light, but by plunging myself into darkness to find it, I forgot what or who my light was. All I have now are the scattered memories of someone, someone who was apparently very special to me. Her voice keeps calling my name. I remember her body, her voice, and her smell, but her face is a blur to me.
"Cloud, c'mon! We'll go playing at Cid's! He's so funny!"
Who? Who is she? Where are these memories from? I want to meet her. But who is "her"? Sora, the Keyblade master, said he was looking for his light too. I wonder if it's his heart that will lead him to her. Is my heart linked with my light too? I don't...understand everything just yet.
"Look, Cloud! I'm growing flowers! They're gonna be so pretty! Oh, I know! This'll be our Secret Garden okay? It'll be just for the two of us! I'm so happy!"
I felt a small grin appear on my face as I remembered this scene. My face grew a little red, though I do not understand why I would be embarrassed. I want to see her happy again. But I have to search longer. I'll find her some day, and when I do, we'll plant even more flowers. But until then, I have more fights to fight, and more places to look. Now was not the time to be goofing off. If I was looking for her, she might be looking for me too. At least that was what I liked to think. Hades hadn't taken everything from me, and I was not about to lose to the darkness again. Maybe after all this time, through the corners of my mind, I found hope in the memories that I had. Then again, if I hadn't been so stupid and desperate, maybe I would have at least thought things through at a bit better. And once again I feel myself being brought down. All I had now was my sword and a tiny speck of hope to keep me going. I'm afraid that the hope I have left might disappear, but then again, that last bit of hope is always the hardest to take out.
