Purpose

A/N: What's up Gravity Shifters, GalaxyExplorer74 here. I know, I know, this is a little strange. Those of you who know me, well, you know me as the RWBY writer with a very long first story that has the weirdest stuff come out of nowhere. Also, lots of smut and futa one-shots. While I will be writing lots of RWBY fanfics in the future, there are many other subjects and topics that I want to tackle head-on.

One such topic is Gravity Rush. While I have only played the second one, I do plan on buying the first one very soon and completing it probably within a single day. I absolutely loved Gravity Rush 2. The story was very interesting, the gameplay was unique and fun, and the open-world was, to put it simply, awesome.

However, playing through the game gave me some ideas… and we all know what happens when I have an idea. The main idea being Kat x Raven. It's just so easy to imagine them being together. I mean, they are literally of one mind and body, as confirmed by the Creators (in the game, not the creators of the game.) and also supported by the fact that Kat used both Dusty and Xii to destroy the Destructive Force… Irony!

Anyway, kinda got off topic there and said some spoilers… oh well. So, I decided to start writing for Gravity Rush as well and I am happy to write for it, seeing as how there are so few stories on this site for it. Hopefully, I can change that and bump that number up quite a bit. But, of course, I couldn't start writing Gravity Rush with a one-shot. We all know I like to begin with some longer stuff first… and then lots of smut afterwards. So, yeah, this is going to be a longer story. Not exactly sure how long as I have only started to really plan it all out, but I should have at least an idea very soon.

Also, there is an OC in this story whose name is Hunter Jagim… again lol. I'm not gonna reveal too much about him as I do have a lot planned for him in this story. However, what I will tell you is that he will be playing a similar role to Hunter in The Romance Tower. He kinda finds out about Kat's feelings towards Raven and tries to get them together. Although, this time, it won't end well… at least for him. We all know what Raven will do when she finds out about this. But that's for later and I have talked way too much. Please enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gravity Rush or any of its characters. I only own my OC and this story. This is purely for entertainment and reading enjoyment. Please don't sue J

Ch. 1

"Really Syd!?" He looks at me with that stupid smirk he always has, like he's untouchable. "You know I'm gonna have to pull double time if you do this."

"If I do what?" He questions with feigned innocence, putting a hand to his chest. "I tripped running from that gravity storm, you saw."

I scoff. He's trying to use me as a witness just to get out of work… again. "Yeah, and you had no problem jumping right back up and almost leaving me behind."

"Adrenaline." He shrugs it off with a sense of finality.

"Hmmph, whatever." I slam the door on my way out, silently fuming at him. Why can't he just work like the rest of us? Always pulling me into his schemes… Just like Aujean and Eugie used to.

I walk through the mining settlement, occasionally saying hi or waving to some of the other workers. Most of them ignore me though, since they think I'm either crazy or a liar. No one believes that I'm a gravity shifter and I can't prove it since Dusty isn't here.

I audibly sigh. I miss my little black cat, my first friend. I miss all of the friends I made in Hekseville. Newt and Echo, Aujean and Eugie; though, only a little. I don't miss all the crazy "business opportunities" they dragged me into.

But the person I miss the most, the enemy who became a friend, is nowhere to be found. I know the others are still in Hekseville, but I'm not so sure with her. She could be looking for me right now, she could've gotten in trouble, or maybe…

The last thought hurts me more than I expect, but before I can continue it, I hear a familiar voice. One of the few that I'm happy to hear nowadays.

"Hey Kat!" I turn around to see my best friend running down the bridge that I didn't realize I was on.

"Hunter!" I yell with genuine happiness. Hunter was one of the few who accepted me, even after I tried to tell everyone I'm a gravity shifter. He's not sure what to think about that, but he doesn't think I'm a liar either.

"How are you?" He asks with a wide smile. Just like mine, it's infectious and I can't sulk over Syd and Raven anymore.

"Good, except now I have to pull double time since Syd got "injured."" I make air quotes with my fingers and Hunter nods, not surprised.

"Of course he did. You know, if he's not more careful, he's gonna run out of body parts to sprain… or roll… or strain… or whatever else." We both laugh, my tank of anger already on empty and slowly filling with joy.

"Look who's talking. From what Lisa told me, you hold the record for most injuries around here." His face turns a slight pink at that.

"It's not my fault there's always Scarabs around." I laugh and he flushes a little more.

Hunter's been here for much longer than me. In fact, all he remembers is Banga. He's been here since he was a child. Nobody saw how he got here, all they know is that after a gravity storm ended, they looked outside and there he was.

"Yeah, around you. You're almost as much of a magnet for trouble as me." I tease him some more, enjoying how easily he gets flustered.

"Now that's saying something." He laughs through his blush and attempts to change the subject. "So, what were you thinking about?"

"What do you mean?"

"Before I came over. You were really spaced out." He asks, slight concern coming through his voice.

I sigh, the sadness coming back with full force. "I was thinking about Hekseville."

"Oh." He stands there awkwardly, not sure what else to say. Then, he clears his throat and gets past the awkwardness, now replaced with sincerity. "Well, do you wanna talk about it?"

"I'm pretty sure I've already told you everything." I lightly laugh.

"What about Raven?" My face falls at her name. I was trying to not think about her and Hunter just has to bring her up.

"What about her?" I put on my innocent face, trying to throw him off.

But he knows me too well to fall for it. "Come on Kat. I know you miss her." He touches my shoulder and gives it a gentle squeeze in a show of care and friendship, his way of saying he's here for me.

My innocent face falls apart and my vulnerability becomes clear. "Of course I miss her; she was my best friend."

"What about me?" He tries to keep a serious, sad face, but I can see the slightest quirk of his lips.

I shrug. "A rebound."

He cracks up, his serious face breaking apart at the seams within seconds. "Wow, thanks for sparing my feelings." He puts a hand on his chest.

"You know me, totally merciful." We both laugh, enjoying the playful banter.

He always knows what to say when I'm feeling down, whether to be serious and comforting or to crack a joke and make me smile.

"So, you're gonna have to pull double time now?" And then he'll say something like that and make me sad again.

"Yes." I sigh. "If I had Dusty, I'd easily pull triple time if I needed to."

He eyes me weirdly, not quite sure how to respond. "Dusty, your cat, right?"

"Yeah." I look down at my feet, old memories flooding like a rainy day in Hekseville.

I feel a hand on my shoulder and look up into brown eyes, filled with sincerity and kindness. "Hey, I'm sure you'll see them all again."

He smiles, hoping to cheer me up like usual, but I'm too sad for it to work. "Maybe."

His lips turn upside down with a tight frown. He then puts his hand on his chin and looks up, putting on his thinking face. I look at him and see something that I'm not sure is entirely good when it comes to him. Determination.

"What are you thinking about?" I question, my curiosity peaking like it always does. He's deep in thought for a few more seconds before he nods, already deciding what he's going to do. He turns around, forgetting that we were just talking. "Hunter?" Hand on his chin and mumbling, he walks away, not hearing me. "Hunter?!" Too late, he's gone, of course. "Looks like I'm on my own again."

"KAT!" And the day just keeps getting better.

A/N: And that's the first chapter of Purpose. I have to say, I'm proud of how this turned out and the direction I'm taking this. Please review and tell me what you think so far. Also, what do you think of Hunter? I know I didn't do a lot with him this chapter but trust me, that's going to change. In truth, the main thing I'm trying to do with Hunter is make him a kind and lovable character. Somebody everyone can root for, like Kat, just a little less naïve J

And those of you who have read my other stories, please tell me if you think that I have gotten better in any way. I do believe I have but it's always nice to have a second opinion and if any of you have advice, feel free to share. All constructive criticism is appreciated and taken into consideration.

Thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed, and have an amazing day.
