Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy (any of them) or anything like that, I also do not own the plot. Dang it.

Summary: Okay. I'm writing (insert sort of frustrated sigh here) a Sominé. Which is Sora x Naminé. Duh. Okay, it will be with the plot of Beauty and the Beast, but, like, it will tie in with Kingdom Hearts. Eh… sort of. Hehe. Okay, so, this is just the prologue, but it's the important prologue. Yeah.

A/N: Okay as I just said, this will tie in with Kingdom Hearts. But there is a little twist, KH (none of them) really happened. Well, it did, but just not in the way we all know. Does that make sense? The important thing is the Keyblade. And the rose. There will always be a rose. Again… duh.

…

Prologue

Long ago, there was once a young boy, who ruled nothing but the most powerful weapon… the Keyblade. The Keyblade could unlock any lock and kill any beast, including the powerful heartless. The heartless were terrible creatures, stealing human hearts for their own good. The young boy used the Keyblade to attack these creatures for many a year, and the long journeys were tiring and stressful. The journeys changed the boy's life and his personality.

One night, on the eve of the young man's birthday, a washed up and elderly woman came to Castle Oblivion of which the boy's address was. She knocked on the castle door.

The boy came to the door. "Yes?"

"Could I have shelter from the bitter cold, for I will give you this rose in return?"

The boy stepped out of the castle. "…it's not cold outside," he said. "And what exactly am I going to do with a rose?"

The woman stared into the boy's bright blue eyes. "Please, just one night, and for this freshly picked rose?"

The boy stared back. "Um… well… we don't have a room right now, can I take a message? Or maybe rent you one in a year or so?"

The woman walked up to the boy. "Sora," she said, but not with the same voice as before, "this is no time for such humor."

Sora then cringed. "How… how do you know my name?"

Suddenly the woman turned into a fairy, Yuna, who was beautiful and very powerful. Sora dropped to his knees, biting his lip with fear. "Oh, I'm so sorry! I'll get you a room right away because… I didn't… I wasn't sure that…"

"Silence, Sora," Yuna said softly but firmly. "You must know that beauty lies beyond what's on the outside."

Sora thought about this for a second. "But I had no idea that…"

"Save your words, please, Sora," she said. "You must figure this out on your own."

"No, please, give me a chance, please!"

"I'm sorry Sora. You have to figure this out." Yuna began to wave her hands around Sora. Sora yelled in panic. He then felt a strong pain and began screaming. Next thing Sora knew, he was taller. He was a monster.

"What did you do to me!" he said in a darker, deeper voice. Yuna continued. "You know what you are now. Now, for your punishment…"

"Haven't you punished me enough!" Sora growled, suddenly fiercely angry at Yuna. Yuna just stood there, staring up at Sora's new, fierce, terrifying face. "You must learn to love before the last petal of this rose falls."

Sora calmed down a little. "I think I can do that…"

"But," Yuna interrupted, "she must love you back."

Sora paused, and then roared his loudest in pure anger. He ran inside into the castle, up the stairs (while noticing that Donald and Goofy were under the spell as well) and into his room, where he vented his anger. This was impossible.

For who could ever learn to love a beast?
