Yes! I live! And I have another story!

(Gets booed and tomatoed)

Oh give me a break, I'm in college! I'm trying to update as fast as I can, but I'm busy!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this!

For the record though, some of the characters WILL BE OOC. It's a crossover for crying out loud! Also, while main characters may change, I've decided that the Nobodys will stay the same, because they're just too cool as they are! Already have plans for the new Princesses though! But read up, XENMAS IS STILL HERE. Ok?

Disclaimer: I'm in college. Do you think I have enough money for my own books, let alone the rights to Kingdom Hearts?

So, without further ado, welcome to,

The Hearts of All Worlds


In a far away land of sand and sun, a man marched through the halls of a castle, his eyes set on a set of papers that was in his hands. White hair flowed out behind him, standing out in stark contrast against his black cloak, and red eyes glared as the man approached a pair of guards who were standing in front of the entrance to the Royal Throne Room. "Let me pass," he snapped.

At once, the two guards snapped up into strict attention, having learned before that it was not a good idea to piss off the vampire in front of them. With their spears held at attention, they pushed the doors open, letting the man in.

With his eyes cast down at the papers in his hands, the vampire strolled into the room, preoccupied with the reports. "Pharaoh Atem, I have reports that more refugees have sho-" Looking up, the man was quick to realize one thing: the room was empty before him! The magnificent throne was unoccupied, but in front of it, there was a small black cat with purple eyes, holding what looked to be a note in his mouth. Even from the distance that was between them, the Vampire King Duzell could see the Eye of Horus seal on the letter. At the sight of the seal, the vampire froze, his mind and undead-heart grinding to a stop, as the only two words in his vocabulary that fit the situation slipped from his mouth.

"Oh. Shit."

………………………………...

In the garden, a tall blond warrior was snoozing in the flowerbed, his sky-blue eyes closed as he snored lightly. A butterfly landed on his dark-blue armor, flapping its wings slowly as it rested, before flying off again.

Seconds later, the warrior was rudely awaken by a boot to the ribs. Grunting, the blond curled up, clutching his sides in pain, before glancing up at his attacker. "I swear, it wasn't me this time!" he said, jumping to conclusions at the pissed-off look on Duzell's face.

"I don't care if you raided the kitchens again Gourry, we've got larger problems right now!" Duzell spat, kneeling next to the dopey warrior. He waved the note under the man's nose, red eyes panicking as he squeaked out, "Pharaoh Atem's run away!" As the blonde blinked at him in confusion, the vampire shuddered as he placed his hand against his forehead. "Oh gods, what will Yuugi do when he finds out?!" he whimpered.

Gourry tilted his head at the panicky vamp. "Yuugi-sama?" he asked, still half-asleep.

Ignoring the warrior, Duzell suppressed a whimper at an even scarier thought. "We have to find him. What are we going to say to your wife? Or worse, Ishtar?!" he gasped.

"Lina-chan and Ishtar-san?"

"We better not tell them. Just let them wonder where we are and leave now," Duzell said, thinking out loud.

Smiling, Gourry waved at someone behind the undead mage. "Mornin' Prince Yuugi, Mornin' ladies!" he chirped, much to Duzell's everlasting horror. Turning around slowly, he was terrified at the sight of the three mentioned people, including his friend and keeper, Ishtar, who was cracking her knuckles threateningly. Eyes wide, the vampire lost hold on the magic that was keeping him in his original form, and popped back into his true form; a small, fuzzy kitten with tiny horns forming.

……………………………

Duzell shook his white head as he held the note in his hand, finally calm enough to stay in his true form again. "I hate to say it, but the Pharaoh has gone off," he said as he leaned against the pavilion. He held up the slightly torn note, holes torn by the kuroneko's fangs. "After fixing it, I was able to finally read it. It says, "To my friend and advisor Duzell,

"I know that my leaving will put you in a bind, especially with my Aibou, but I have been watching the skies as of late, and more stars are disappearing. The Heartless are destroying more worlds, and something has to be done. Go to Traverse Town, and look for the one with the Key, and stay with him. He will be the one to save the worlds.

Tell my partner that I'm sorry to leave him, and that I plan to return as soon as I can. And Princess Ishtar, I'm sorry, but Duzell must go without you this time. Same goes to you Lina-san." Duzell blushed as he read that little note. "And that's all that's on here."

After many long minutes of yelling, cursing, and the occasional fire-spell, Ishtar sighed as she leaned against the throne. "I know that Atem said you have to go, but can't you send someone else?" she asked. "One of your familiars or something!"

Duzell sighed as he shook his magnificent head. "You know that none of them can use magic, only I can." he said sadly. Grinning slightly, he traced a finger over her jaw line. "Besides, I thought you wanted to know where the rest of your family is," he bribed.

A slightly singed Gourry was hugging Lina as Yuugi sent orders for the only ship in the palace to be fitted and prepped for travel. "I'm sorry Lina-chan," he whispered, squishing the diminutive red head to his broad chest.

Lina sighed in annoyance at the blond before pushing herself back from him, looking up into his eyes. "Just bring me back some treasure, ok?" she asked, trying to hide her tears. Smiling, Gourry nodded before releasing her and following Duzell out to the hanger.

The ship in question was a history lesson in the making. Cobbled together with scrap-metal and magic, it had certainly seen better days. But it flew, and that was all that the two warriors needed. Being from technologically-inferior planets though, neither knew how to drive the old thing. So it was with great apprehension that they strapped themselves in as the pilots/mechanics powered up the ship. A pair of twins, Hikaru and Kaoru were refugees as well, but they had earned a place in Atem's court with their knowledge of technology, which rivaled that of the genius Seto. Luckily for the former CEO, the twins specialized in ships and transportation, while the blue-eyed business man was good at everything.

"This thing is so old, we don't have all of the navigation system in," they said in unison.

Hearing this, Duzell panicked as he scrambled at his seatbelt. "Wait, I don't want to g-"

"Yatta! Time to launch!" Hikaru and Kaoru yelled, grinning as they slammed their palms into the launch button. At once, the bottom of the hanger fell out, launching them down onto a ramp. Laughing, the strawberry-blonde boys hit the throttle, catapulting them up the ramp and into space, Duzell's screams echoing in their ears.

Back in the hanger, Lina, Ishtar, and Yuugi watched the ship vanish, comforting each other with their presence. "Do you think they'll be alright Yuugi-sama?" Lina asked, never turning from the sky.

Smiling, Yuugi grabbed Lina and Ishtar's hands in his. "I'm sure they'll be alright," he whispered, smiling softly at them. Unseen by the trio, a star twinkled, faded, and finally disappeared.
