Alrighty, so I've posted this and took it down, posted and took it down. But now its going to stay here for good... I think.

Ok, so this is an AU obviously. Yes the characters are probably EXTERMELY OOC but that's what an AU is right? Anyway, I hope you like this story.

Keep in mind, I wrote this a looooong time ago so the first couple of chapters might be a little bad but just bear with me, it picks up after awhile. I thought about re-writing it, but I'm honestly too lazy and in a complete "Last of Us" muse. So maybe I'll re-write these first few, maybe not. But anyways...

I do not own anything of "Kingdom Hearts", I just own Rose and Sapphire.

Things always happen for a reason…but why did this have to happen? After everything I've been through, I still can't figure out why he had to be taken away from me. Maybe it was because of how far away we were; in both social class and in just plain distance. Then again, maybe fate doesn't want us to be together. I mean if fate was on our side, or should I say mine, why would they create a girl who could control his memories until she sees fit? But see, I'm not one that believes in fate or destiny or whatever the hell it's called. I make my own destiny. I don't think there is some higher being secretly telling me what I should do and end up getting its way. Besides, I don't think this higher being likes me that much anyway; I don't hear a little voice of reason inside my head other then my own. I refuse to take orders from anything or anyone. My steps echoed as I walked through this castle and all I kept seeing was pure white walls, white pillars, white everything. It was as if I was walking into a world where nothing existed and I was the only one left, looking for life that I knew wasn't around but my mind and body refused to believe such a thing. My eyes felt like they were going to go blind any second. But I kept pushing forward, for the thing I was looking for, or should I say person I was looking for, was in here somewhere. He was the one and only reason for me being in here.

"Why is everything so white, when they wear black? Are they trying to pull an innocent act or something?" I growled under my breath.

I kept walking towards the top floor of the castle, where he would be… He may not remember me at all, but that doesn't mean I'm lost in his mind forever…just forgotten, like I heard him say himself. Rose…that's my name…the name he will probably not remember until he sees me… Call it whatever you want; obsession, love, or just trying to find a friend. Honestly, I have no idea if this is just trying to find a friend or something so much more that I can't even begin to comprehend. I sighed, feeling a small smile forming on my pale face. Suddenly, I felt three pairs of eyes land on me. I didn't feel scared…more like pissed off because this will only a waste more of my time. I turned my body quickly, to see three people wearing black cloaks. I quickly jumped back and got into a fighting stance.

"Well, you're sure a feisty one."

"What do say we just kill her right here and now?"

"You really think you can just get rid of me so easily?" I called out.

They all laughed and two of them removed their hoods. One had fiery red hair that spiked up every which way, while the other had short blond hair with one earring on his right. They didn't look much like fighters but I never underestimate anyone who stands in my way. Both of them smirked as they got their weapons out; the red one with what looked like two rings and the other, with a deck of cards. I sighed; I know I said I never underestimate my opponent but they looked so ridiculous I didn't know if I could take them so seriously. I lowered my fists and looked up.

"Look, I don't have time to play with you guys; I need to find someone very important to me."

"Why are even bothering with that? Sora won't remember you once our girl clears you from his mind." The red one calmly replied.

"He'll remember me!" I yelled back, feeling my heart sink.

"Did you forget about what she does? She can do whatever with his memories until she sees fit." The other replied back.

"Maybe so, that doesn't mean I'm lost…just forgotten."

They both laughed again before charging at me. I jumped back dodging every fire and card attack they threw at me. As soon as I got far enough away from them, I pulled out my only weapon, which was a small dagger. I went after them, cutting them as much as could. While all this was going on, I noticed from the corner of my eye, the other person that was with them. He didn't seem to move an inch at all since they appeared. I shook my head and continued to fight off the other two. They kept moving so fast that if I did one misstep, it would all be over for me.

"Why are you so determined to kill me?! I haven't even done anything to you guys! I'm just trying to find a friend!" I cried.

I felt my body getting weaker a lot faster than I expected. Finally, the red one tripped me to the ground, with the sharp end of his weapon in my face. Everything went silent except for the echoes of my footsteps and our synchronized panting. He smirked and pulled his weapon up, ready for the kill. I closed my eyes tightly, ready for impact. I always wondered what my last thoughts would be if I were ever to die…would I be thinking about my whole life, like everyone says? Or would I be thinking of something really dumb, like food or something. But the thing I thought wasn't any of those things…it was Sora…he was the only person that filled my mind. I smiled suddenly…maybe he won't remember me…but I'm not forgotten…

"Axel!" a deep voice called, making the man named Axel stops his murder attempt.

I looked up to see another man in a black cloak with long silver hair and judging by the way Axel had responded to his call, he must be the leader. He looked at me and I turned away quickly, for his stare was dark and cold.

"What is the meaning of this?"

"She was trying to find Sora and possibly take him back with her." He replied.

"Is that so?" he put his eyes back on me, "What is your name young lady?"

"My name is Rose…Rose Valentine." I stated firmly as I stood back up.

He nodded his head slowly, as if it was a very complicated name to remember. I looked back to the one who still had his hood up. I tilted my head slightly, hoping that it would give me some way to see his face. He seemed to notice my curiosity for I could see a smile form on his face. I looked back up to the other three people who were conversing quietly to themselves. I relaxed a bit as he came towards me. When I noticed he was coming a bit too close I took a step back. He took off his hood and my eyes shot open. It couldn't be him right? There was just no way. Why would he be hanging around a group like this? Sapphire wouldn't let him do something like this unless he had a damned good reason to. He smiled and put one finger to his lips, signaling to stay quiet. I nodded quickly, still shocked.

"Well, I guess we can't exactly kill you and I'm feeling kind of generous so, if you leave right now we won't kill you, deal?"

I wanted to protest, yell at the top of my lungs that I wasn't leaving until I saw him… But I stayed quiet as ever and made one swift nod with my head. The leader smiled and left, along with Axel and the blond one. When they were gone I sighed and fell to the floor suddenly. He tried to help me up but I slapped him straight across the face. He backed towards the wall and gave me an evil look.

"What the hell was that for?!" he cried.

"Oh don't give me that crap Roxas, what the hell are you doing hanging around with Organization XIII which, need I remind you, is the WORST gang you can get involved with?!" I yelled back.

"Look I know you're upset-"

"No, upset doesn't even BEGIN to cover it. What the hell are you thinking?! You know Sapphire is going to throw a fit when she finds out!"

Sapphire is my best friend that we consider each other sisters and is also Roxas's girlfriend of about ten months and are still going strong. Besides that, Roxas was also Sora's twin brother (he was the older one by like five minutes…but that's not the point.) Since they didn't come from a very rich family both my family and Sapphire's hated the fact that we hung out with them and the fact that Sapphire was in love with Roxas…if my family found out about me… Anyway, as for the Organization XIII, they are the most famous gang that the world has ever seen. They used to be just a small town gang in Twilight Town, but they soon multiplied and now, they are all over the world. We try to steer clear of those people back at Destiny Islands, but I never thought Roxas was in it, of all people.

"I know she'll throw a fit…but when I heard that they had captured Sora in order to use his power to take over this damn world, I had to join. I just wanted to make sure he was alright so that way if something went wrong I could easily get him out of here."

"So you're saying they're treating him with the upmost care!?" I yelled again.

"Surprisingly, yes they are. I want to make sure that he's in the best shape before they test him out."

"You make him sound like a test subject…what did you tell Sapphire? I know you lied to her." I tried to get on some other subject other than Sora…

"I told her that I was going to visit my grandparents in Twilight Town for a while…you're not going to tell her are you?"

"No I'm not…But that doesn't mean you shouldn't. You're going to have to tell her sooner or later."

"I know and I will, after I come home with Sora…which won't be for another year…"

"YOU GUYS AREN'T GOING TO BE HOME FOR A YEAR?!" I felt my heart sink deeper and deeper into sadness.

"That's when she's going to be done with Sora… I know it's going to be hard for you…but you really need to leave and forget about him Rose; He's never going to remember you, Namine is going to make sure of it."

I didn't even hear the rest of what he was saying…my ears starting blocking out all sound after hearing he won't ever remember me. I know I kept on saying that I might be lost be never forgotten…but maybe this girl really knows how to completely erase me from his memories… I looked down to the white floor trying to keep the tears from falling…maybe I was stupid for even thinking such a thing. I felt Roxas put his arms around me, trying to give a comforting hug, but it didn't help me at all. I wanted Sora's arms around me…I want to see him and let things go back to the way they were supposed to be… He then let go and helped me to my feet and practically carried me out of the castle…suddenly nothing mattered to me anymore. Why would anything matter? What's the point when the one person you love won't even remember you whenever he saw you again? When we finally made it outside, he let me walk on my own. It was pitch black, most likely midnight. The stars shined brightly along with the full moon, causing the only light for me to see. I looked back to Roxas, who smiled sadly and gave me one last hug.

"Please be careful on the way home." He managed to say…I think he was trying to hold back his own tears.

I nodded and ran off quickly into the darkness, with tears finally falling down my face, making my vision very blurry as if everything was all a dream. At that moment, I wanted all of this to be a dream. I wanted everything to go back to the way it was…not like this; having Roxas in a gang and not have Sora about to become some secret weapon… Damn it…damn it all to hell. I stopped running and chuckled to myself. Why bother damning everything to hell, when I'm already in hell itself.

"Maybe it's just how it has to be huh? Well fine…I'll be in this hell…"

With that being said, I took off running once more and didn't stop until I got to my hometown…where Sapphire, Roxas, Sora, and I all grew up. Sure there was Riku and Kairi…but they didn't hang around with us. They were more of Sora's friends. I started walking along the dirt trail until I finally came to my house. I snuck in through the window to my room, so I wouldn't wake my parents. I walked to my bed and fell face first into the dark purple pillow. I didn't bother to change or take off my shoes… I just laid there crying my eyes out… And all I thought about was Sora…

"Please come back…" I sobbed.

I couldn't help myself…I was head over heels for him… No one knew about the way felt except for Sapphire and Roxas. I kept on crying until I fell into a deep sleep and all I dreamt about was him… And how it was going to be without him for a year…and to make things worse it was going to be my senior year of high school. How was going to survive without him and his dorky way of cheering me up? I wanted for him and Roxas to come back…

And so began…my nightmare
