So, I decided to change the story around so that Haruka won't seem so Mary Sue. wanted to recreate this story with some element of KH 2.8 in this. I know it's been a while since I've updated or whatever but I am trying my best to balance out my studies and the fanfics. If you haven't played 2.8 please don't read it yet! I don't own anything but Haruka and her family! Plus there will be some elements of FFXV in this!


Kingdom Hearts III: Haruka's Destiny

Chapter 1: Truth

Haruka sat on her bed, in the old house she used to live in when she was younger in Radiant Garden. She wore a tank top and black leggings with her hair tied up in a bun. The young woman then heard a knock at the door.

"My dear…" Lavina walked into the room and her granddaughter grinned at her.

"Hey Grandma!" The elder woman sat beside Haruka and placed a bag which was in her hand on the floor.

"How are your wounds healing up?" She asked curiously. The red-haired teen's grin dropped and she looked down. Her wound still hurt her and it was difficult to train. She had a bandage on her right arm below her knee and one wrapped around the upper thigh of her left leg. The wounds left with her fight with Master Xehanort.

"They still need some time to heal up. I haven't trained in so long." The young woman sighed.

"You've been training?" Lavina asked and Haruka looked up at her.

"Yeah, I need to get stronger…" She mumbled. "I never told anyone, but after every major battle I fight, my attacks become weaker." Her grandmother placed her hand on her shoulder.

"You were born as a very weak baby. So, it will be difficult. Just make sure you take things slow, don't go all out too quickly." The woman stated. "I have something special for you. I've waited a very long time to give this to you."

Lavina picked up the bag and took out some clothes with a sweet and gentle smile on her face.

"This belonged to me when I was your age. Hanako gave her outfit to Harumi and now I'm giving mine to you." Haruka's eyes widened and sparkled as she looked at her grandmother.

"It's so beautiful, Grandma. Thank you!" She giggled.

"I love you, my child." She kissed her forehead. "Now get some sleep."

Haruka lied down and her grandmother left the clothes on the chair. She pulled the blanket over her granddaughter and started to hum the lullaby she'd always use to sing when her granddaughter was a little girl. Her green eyes began closing and sleep was beginning to overcome her. The sound of the lullaby was still crystal clear. But little did she know, that this was the lullaby her mother would sing to her when she was just a baby…


Dream:

Haruka could still hear the sound of the lullaby being hummed again by a different person. She opened her eyes. Like 3 years ago, Haruka was in a black endless void and saw her mother in front of her. She wore the same white dress that seemed to end nowhere and her red hair danced in the breeze. She still looked the same but now her daughter was a complete copy of her except for the eyes.

"Mama…" The red-haired teen murmured.

"My dearest…" Hiromi smiled gently and held her daughter's face. "…How you have grown." A tear fell down her daughter's cheek.

"Everyone says I look like you. Except the eyes…" She stated.

"Your eyes are as beautiful as your father's…" Hiromi's cheeks turned faint red. "There something I must tell you, it's the truth."

"What is it?" Haruka asked.

"Do you know what you are?" She questioned.

"The Princess of Light and Darkness?" Hiromi's smile dropped into a frown.

"The prophecy of the Princess of Light and Darkness is a cover up." She stated.

Haruka's eyes widened and her breath hitched at her chest. Her green eyes welled up and she took a step back.

"W-what am I then?" She asked.

"A prophecy existed a very long time ago, that one day when a great war would begin a warrior will emerge and protect all worlds. The warrior called the Guardian of Kingdom Hearts. No one knew who this warrior was but if it was known once the warrior was ready she would reveal herself to the people." She explained. "You are the Guardian of Kingdom Hearts and you have to do anything to protect it."

Those words echoed into her head and she understood that this was her priority, her duty to protect that one thing. She looked up with a stare of determination; one that mirrored her father's. Hiromi's blue eyes widened; even though her daughter resembled her most, she had so much of her father in her. Haruka took her necklace off, the one her mother gave her all those years ago. The young woman placed the necklace in her mother's hand.

"I understand. I'll do anything to protect Kingdom Hearts." She stated in a sad tone which her mother sensed.

"This is a huge burden you much carry…" Hiromi placed her hand on her daughter's head.

"I can do it. I'll do anything for the safety of all worlds. No matter how large the burden, I'll be able to do it because I am strong." The red-haired mother smiled proudly.

"That's my girl." Hiromi kissed her forehead. "I will always love you, my dearest."

"I love you too…" Haruka mumbled as everything faded away.


Morning:

Haruka opened her eyes and jolted out of bed. The young woman rubbed her eyes and noticed the bright rays of the sun beaming into her room. She turned to her clock and it read 9am. For the past few days, she's made a routine of waking up earlier so that when her wounds were healed up she could train more frequently during the day.

She got out of bed and walked to the bathroom whilst rubbing her eyes and yawning. The girl took a nice cool shower then brushed her teeth. When she got in her room again, her eyes fixated on the bag her grandmother left her the night before. The young woman dried her long hair with a towel and got changed into the clothes which belonged to her grandmother.

Haruka looked at herself in the mirror, it was a blue, high collared sleeveless crop top, with a silver zip at the front, with a matching mini skirt which was open at the front and black shorts with black fingerless gloves. The young woman took out some black thigh socks and wore them with a pair of black knee high suede boots with heels.

Whilst brushing her hair, she winced as the brush got caught in the knots. Haruka tied her hair up in a half up half down ponytail. She wore silver earrings with a silver hoop cartilage earring on her right ear. She also wore the bracelet Kairi gave her, alongside her maternal grandmother's bracelet. The young woman took one last look in the mirror and smiled. She really wanted to find her father and she had to find him fast.

Haruka ran downstairs and into the kitchen where she found Lea half asleep at the table and Lavina cooking. Every morning since she had returned, Lavina would always make breakfast for her 2 grandchildren. It reminded them of when they were younger, Lavina was always in the kitchen whipping something up whilst Hanako would occasionally train Harumi.

Lea heard his sister come into the kitchen and yawned whilst rubbing his eyes. He and their grandmother turned around. Lavina's bright green eyes sparkled as she swooned over her old outfit on her granddaughter. Lea's eye however twitched and then he shook his head.

"Ruka, don't you think that outfit's a bit too revealing? You look…." Haruka's eyebrows furrowed and she crossed her arms with a pout.

"This was grandma's old outfit and she gave it to me." She interrupted him and his eyes widened.

"Grandma! You used to wear this?" He turned to him and she nodded with a smirk. "Ugh, it's so skimpy though! God the thought of Haruka wearing this when she's your age frightens me, Grandma!"

"SHUT UP LEA!" Lavina and Haruka roared with the older woman slapping her spatula on his face and his sister punched his head.

"Ugh! I'm sorry!" He rubbed his face whilst wincing in pain.

Haruka sat with her brother and their grandmother served up breakfast. She placed Lea's breakfast in front of him; a plate of potato and cheese omelette, toast and sausages. She then placed a plate of stacked pancakes with maple syrup, grated coconut and strawberries over them.

"Yummy!" Haruka grinned before she began to stuff her face with breakfast. Lea stared at her and huffed whilst rolling his eyes. Lavina smiled at this however; she enjoyed seeing her grandchildren eating. The red haired teen looked up at her grandmother. "Grandma, I heard one of the elders having a conversation which caught my ear…"

"Honey, eavesdropping is not good." She furrowed her eyebrows at her granddaughter but then young woman pouted.

"She said something about…" Haruka swallowed her pancakes. "The Guardian of Kingdom Hearts."

"The Guardian of Kingdom Hearts? Now that's something I haven't heard about in a long time." Lavina stated.

"What's that?" Lea asked.

"An old prophecy that existed a long time ago. But many people say it was lost in time or it was a false prophecy. So more people believed in the Princess of Light and Darkness and here she is." Lavina smiled at Haruka who looked down sadly.

"But what was the prophecy about?" She asked.

"The Guardian's main responsibility is protecting the light and heart of all worlds; Kingdom Hearts. But when the worlds were lost to darkness people stopped believing. The prophecy said that the Guardian would reveal himself to the world."

"So they would have a huge responsibility on their shoulders…" The young woman stated and then her grandmother did a double take.

"Haruka, where is your necklace?" She snapped and the teenager's eyes widened. She felt her heart beating faster from fear. "Do not tell me you lost it!"

"Grandma, I don't need it anymore!" Haruka exclaimed and Lea looked at his sister.

"What do you mean you don't need it anymore?" Lavina asked through her teeth.

"I gave it back to Mama!" Her brother and grandmother's eyes widened from this and the young woman stood up. "I don't need it anymore because…I'm…"

"Haruka…" Lavina whispered.

"I'm the Guardian of Kingdom Hearts!" Haruka roared with her hand on her heart.
