A journey of Hearts-an FFVII/Kingdom Hearts story
This story happened after I got hooked on Sephiroth-thanx to my partner-in-crime.
Again, to clarify the name abbreviations:
Se-Sephiroth, E-Edina, Y-Yuffie, P-Patience, L-Louise, S-Sora, V-Vincent, R-Reno,
A-Axel, Cl-Cloud, Au-Auron, we'll add new ones as new characters come in at later chapters. Also, this will be reposted in every few chapters for your convenience.
Ed is for Edina,-BK's regular nickname for me. Pat is for Patience. Every character except Cid and Auron is in their 20's; so no big age gap in the couplings.
Enjoy, B&BK
Chapter 1-First Date
~at Destiny Islands~
L: *comes up holding hands with Sora* hey ed and pat, guess what!
E+P: what
L: *excited* with some help from Yuffie, we got you two both on blind dates tomorrow.
S: strangely across town, and about the same time. Pat, your date has blond spiky hair, and doorknobs on the shoulder pads. He'll probably arrive on a motorbike. Ed, your date has long silver hair, and will probably wear a black trench coat. He's very tall, hard to miss.
E: and what time?
L: it's a lunch date at Hollow Bastion, so the earliest is 11:00.
P: wait a minute *crosses arms* is this to keep us off our fight over Riku?
S: yes but also to get you guys out there and to give me a day without you guys cramping my style *puts an arm around Louise's shoulder*
L: *shrugs arm off* hey now. Don't talk like that to my friends-
E: the dates could be interesting if you worked with Yuf-
P: *grabs Edina's wrists* come on already! We need to prepare!
L: *watching them rush off* I have a good feeling
S: so do I *reaches hand in pocket and gets on one knee* will you-
L: YES!! *does a 'leap into arms' hug after Sora slips ring on her finger*
~next day at 11:00~
L: okay pat, your date's name is Cloud Strife. Got it memorized? Good, 'cause here's your stop.
P: 'Cloud Strife? Strange name' *shrugs to self as walking into restaurant*
~with Edina~
L: Ed, your date's name is Sephiroth. Got it memorized? Off you go.
E: 'I can't put my finger on it, but I know I've heard that name mentioned before' *walks into café*
~in ship~
L: okay Sora. Let's go tell my dad and brothers the good news.
S: *straight face* got it. 'time to tell the overprotective dad, one psychotic, pyromaniac, wiseass brother, and the other psycho wiseass brother. Great.'
~with Edina café~
E: *sitting at a reserved table* 'I wonder if he forgot. Or backed out. Or..ugh whatever. I'm leaving in 10' *she thought this just as a tall, one winged figure lands gracefully at the entrance-in E's line of sight*
The feathers flew everywhere as the wing 'disappeared from the figure's back. One feather lands on E's table.
Se: *directed to E's table* *gives E a look-over* so you're the reason they dragged me over here? 'I promised to keep an open mind *sigh* here goes….at least she's not ugly'
E: *also gives him a look-over* *rolls eyes at his comment* back at you. 'jerk? Or just bad day?' *holds his gaze as he sits down*
S: would you remind me why I am here?
E: *looks away* you came and you didn't know why? 'awkward' *sees Se shrug* we're on a blind date. Courtesy of Yuffie.
Se: agh. Annoying little ninja. She should get her nose out of people's business before I cut it off. *E suppresses a giggle* listen. I'm not exactly a people person, nor-
E: *at the same time* How do you have only one wing *holding feather* I'm sorry, you go first.
Se: *just stares at her with a pondering look*
E: *starts to blush* uh….do you….maybe wanna get out of here?...go some place…less-
Se: public? Sure *they get up and walk out*
Se: *eyeing her profile for a minute while walking*
E: I'm glad you find me fascinating….what are you staring at?
Se: why do you wear such dark colors? The color contradicts what people perceive from your face..at least what I do.
E: *raises eyebrows* oh..well… I like dark colors *still gripping the feather*
Se: *more to himself* hmph…mother traveled in darkness for a long time
E: huh?....are you ok?
Se: *humorless laugh* do you actually care?
E: well yeah, I don't ask a question if I don't care for the answer.
Se: hm. Well.. I was just remembering
E: I'm sorry if I reminded you of something bad. *lightly touches his arm* do you want to talk about it?
Se: reveal my darkest secrets to a girl I just met? No thanx
E: well sor-ry..i didn't know it had to-
Se: I beg your pardon..i'm not very good at picking up social cues.
E: *small amused smile* so you're rude?
Se: I try not to be…but people who know me don't like my presence among them..so I really don't deal with people in general
E: *after an awkward silence*…you don't want to be here do you
Se: not in particular….a proposition: if you really do care to know more about me, and if we meet again, then we can do this…cross-examination more in depth
E: *laughs* jeez you make this 'getting to know you deal' sound more like a serious experiment then a casual lunch…..alright how 'bout Saturday night?
Se: Saturday it is.
E: so I'll…ah…see you……then
Se: *nods and walks away leaving E dumbfounded for a minute*
~back at the ship~
Cid: *talking-angrily-with Yuffie* I can't believe you sent edina to meet that moster…..i mean she lucky if she gets out alive away from him. Did you forget WHO-
E: *walks in* hey guys I'm back-whoa! *gets tackle-hugged by Yuffie*
Y: SHE'S ALIIIVE!!! I'm so so so sorry ed, I didn't think about who I actually set you up with-
E: oh? Sephiroth was alright….we're meeting again on Saturday night…though I'm not sure where *goes to fix some ramen* (A/N: lunch date w/o lunch gets you hungry neh?)
Cid+Y: you shittin' me?/ no. way.
Y: so I guess you caught him in a good mood
E: well he got annoyed when I mentioned your name so I guess he knows you....but he seemed neutral
~with pat back at 12:00~
P: *gets up to leave* 'oh that son of a- *loud motorbike pulls up at entrance* oh now he shows *gets a good look at him as he is directed to her table*
Cl: extremely sorry that I'm late. I just got a message..er rather 20 that I'm your blind date. *holds out hand* Cloud Strife at your service
P: *shakes hands* 'well he looks like he could be worth it' I'm Patience…so what do you do?
Cl: I'm a delivery boy now.
~about 3 in the afternoon~
P: do you think we could meet again?
Cl: Saturday night good for you?
P: it's a date.
Cl: good. I'll pick you up around 6. I'll see you then.
P: sounds good to me. Bye *they both leave*
So that's the end of chappy one! Hooray!
Please R 'n' R thanx,
B&BK
