Disclaim: I don't own anything ok? Sheesh I don't even own my Kingdom Hearts games...not that they're stolen


In an alley-way of the second district in Traverse Town stood a silhouette. The shadowed figure moved under the illumination of a lamp post. His long black hair swayed with the wind. His long black trench coat made whipping noises in the wind. Under his trench coat he wore a black long-sleeved shirt with the heartless symbol on it. His pants were black as well, long and down to the ground. His boots were under the cuffs of his pants making them look like black shoes. He looked up with his two eyes of different colors. One orange, the other a jade green. He brought one of his two weapons up to his face and curled a smile on his purple lips, baring two vampire like fangs. His skin was the color of wet paper, pale but not very pale. His weapons were two crosses used like swords. He grasps the shot end like a handle and swipes at things with the long end like a blade. The long end wasn't sharp but it could cut through things with a hard enough swipe. Because his weapons were crosses people knew he wasn't a vampire. He stepped forward and dropped something onto the ground. It was a picture of Donald and Goofy except it looked like another person had been ripped off.

His name was Haze, people often referred to him as the prince of darkness. He was at the simple age of 16. He was the son of the master of evil, Ansem. Haze had one objective from his father: eliminate Sora. Haze looked into another alley-way and closed his eyes. He opened his eyes again and saw a woman pulling a small child, "Mommy? Mommy? Where's daddy?" The little boy asked. The mother was a beautiful young woman with black hair. Her eyes were jade green like one of Haze's. She wore a white dress with a heartless symbol on the front. The left sleeve of the dress had been ripped and revealed a cut dripping with blood. The mother knelt in front of the boy with tears dripping down her eyes, "Haze, I don't want you near your father. He isn't a good person." The mother said between sobs. Haze shook his head and the mother and child had disappeared, "A flash back...just a flash back," Haze said as he continued walking. Traverse Town was quiet as usual, but today it was quieter than usual. No lights were on and no one was outside. The town had been empty since the rumor of the prince of darkness showing up.

Haze stepped into the first district and blinked again he looked at the open space near the front entrance and saw the woman and child again. Except there was another person there, a man. The man has long silver hair and orange eyes. Behind him was a black shadow like demon. The woman stepped in front of the child and screamed, "Stay away from my son, I wont let him live a life like you do." The black demon behind the man flew in front of the woman and swiped at her left shoulder with his claw. The woman gasped in pain and grasped her shoulder. The little boy ran over to her and shook her, "Mommy! Mommy what happened?" The woman took the boys hand and ran towards the second district.

Haze snapped back to reality and looked at the empty district, "Why do I keep seeing these flash backs?" He put his two, lets call them, cross-swords on two hooks which were on both sides of his trench coat. He saw those two visions and he admitted to himself that his father was a bad man, but he himself was evil as well. He wasn't meant to be like his mother, a good person, if you will. He was born evil and he would die evil. He shook his head and went through the door to the third district. He fell to his knees and looked at another flash back starting. This flash back was more recent, but not present. He looked about 12 in this flash back. He stood in front of his mother gripping one of his cross-swords. The mother was on the ground, covered in slash marks, "Haze why are you doing this? You don't have to be like your father." The man from the second flash back lowered behind Haze, "No, he doesn't have to be like me...he wants to be like me." The woman stared lightly crying, "Ansem, what did you do to my son?" Ansem smiled and snapped his fingers, "You mean my son." At the snap of his fingers Haze walked towards his mother and held up his sword, "Sleep well...Andrea..."The adult Haze shuddered and ran towards his pre-teen form, "Nooooooo!" He dove at the young Haze and flew right through him. The sword was brought down and the woman screamed, but everything went silent shortly after.

Haze started breathing heavily looking at the empty place. He regretted killing his mother, but would do it again if he had the chance, "What is my conscience trying to do to me?" Haze stood up and shut his eyes, "Everything is clear here...father." Ansem lowered behind Haze again and smiled, "Good job my son...I want you to return to Hollow Bastion...I have a surprise for you there." Haze shuddered and turned around, "It was you! You were the one showing me all the flash backs." Ansem clapped and laughed quietly, "Yes my son, I was showing you the happier memories in your life." Haze clenched his fists, "Well stop it! I all ready regret enough killing Andrea...I mean mother. I don't need it played back over and over again." Ansem grunted, "Hurry up and return home...I'll be waiting."

Haze watched as his father disappeared, "Yes sir..." Haze went back to the first district and out the main entrance. He climbed onto a gummi ship, except this ship was more like a hover cycle. It lifted off the ground and took off. Haze was flying through space a few heartless gummies following him close by, they weren't trying to attack him, they were protecting him. Blowing away large asteroids for him, like body guards. He reached Hollow Bastion and got of his hover cycle, staring up at the large castle.
