Hello everyone an welcome to a new story. This is a new co-write story with me friend Hika-neko-chan. At this current time she does not have any stories posted but I will tell you when she does. Anyways lets get on to the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or anything like that. I just own this story (along with Hika-neko-chan) and I own some of the OCs (some are also Hika-neko-chan's)
And if you are wondering, yes we started this story before we got any KH3 trailers. So of course this is a big AU.
Ch.1
In the late hours of night, two cloaked figures walked down a dark hallway. Both of them had their hoods up, concealing their faces. Neither of them turned on a light for they feared they would be caught, so they stuck to the made their way down, feeling along the wall as their eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness that shrouded them.
Though even with sneaking around in the darkness, and being as quiet as possible, one of them looked around cautiously to make sure no one was there to see them. Every few steps taken had them looking to their side and then turning to look behind them.
The one cloaked figure that wasn't actively looking in every direction, turned and looked at their partner. "Oh, stop worrying Yutaka, they're not around here."
"I don't care. I still want to be careful you just never know what might happen Kuri," the one known as Yutaka hissed in a whispered.
"And what happens if we do find someone? Can't we just say that we're trying to help them?"
"I really doubt they would let us… Think about it, we are two of the new ones here. We don't have a lot of say in what goes on around here. So I don't think they want newbies helping too much with things."
"After what they were arguing about? Shouldn't they gladly accept our offer? If not, they're buffoons," Kuri scoffed.
"Tsk...Whatever…" Yutaka said with the click of his tongue as he shrugged. "Let's just find what we are looking for."
The two of them continued further down the hallway. Thankfully it seemed that every other member was either asleep or somewhere else in the building. The fact that did not let Yutaka lighten up though. He made sure to keep his guard up, ready for any possible encounter they could have.
"You talking about Xigbar's little project, right?" Kuri asked.
"Yes of course. Did you already forget the reason we are doing this? What else would we possibly be sneaking around here for?" Yutaka replied as he picked up his pace slightly.
"Xemnas's secret diary of course," Kuri replied sarcastically.
Yutaka stopped in his tracks and stared back at Kuri. He scrunched up his nose as he responded, "Why on earth would you want to read that?"
"Can't you take a joke Yutaka?"
"I can when I'm not sneaking around, so tell me a joke after we find what we are looking for," Yutaka said as he sneered, narrowing his eyes.
"Fine, fine. Can't you at least lighten up a bit?" Kuri asked before the two of them started walking.
Yutaka did not reply at first, he kept quiet as they rounded a corner. He scanned back and forth before they continued down it. They were still the only ones in the area. Once he saw that the coast was still clear, and felt that it was truly clear, he spoke up agan while giving a sigh. "Fine...do you think we are there yet?"
"Not sure. I get lost in this place all the time." Kuri answered while scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
After walking just a little bit further the two stopped at a door. At first glance, it could have looked like any other door, but on closer inspection there were intricate engravings over the entire thing. There was a lot of detail in the different shapes and symbols, but neither of the boys knew what any of it meant or if was intended to mean anything. When they took the time to look at the door more carefully, the more they felt a strange vibe coming from it.
"Kuri, do you think it's in here?" Yutaka asked.
"Only one way to find out." Kuri went to open the door. Kuri placed his hand on the handle and pushed down on it. "Well at least it doesn't seem locked."
He then slowly pulled the door open as far as it would go. Inside was a dark room and neither of them could see anything that lay inside. Slowly, both of them stepped inside, and just as they entered the room, they heard the door close behind them. They were now in total darkness as the room had no windows.
Yutaka groaned in annoyance. "Oh great, the door shut and we don't know where the light switch is. We can't see a thing!"
"Magic blockhead. Use it to light up the room."
"Why me? Why can't you do it?" Yutaka asked.
"Because I suck at magic," Kuri replied bluntly.
"Fine I'll do it," Yutaka sighed. He held up his hand in front of himself and a second later a flame appeared floating in his hand. He concentrated and increased the strength of the fire, which grew bright and brighter. The room was now being dimly lit by the flame, but it was enough to at least see the walls and what was on them.
Yutaka quickly examined the room until he spotted the light switch. He walked over to it and switched it on. Now that there was artificial light that filled the room, there was no need for his magic, so he dismissed the flame in his hand. "Now Kuri do you see it or do we need to look around?"
"Well, what's it look like?" Kuri asked as he started walking around the room. He only walked around a little before turning to Yutaka and waited for his answer.
Yutaka sighed as he shook his head. "How would I know? It probably looks big though."
"There's this door shaped thingamajig back there." Kuri said, pointing with his thumb over his shoulder to the far corner of the room before turning and walking up to it.
The thing was an tall oval shaped machine that one could easily walk through. It was just an oval frame, but the frame itself seemed to have strange engravings in it just as the door did. It almost looked reminiscent to a door frame.
"That's probably it, since everything else here is in small boxes," Yutaka replied.
"Do you happen to know how to work it cause I definitely don't" Kuri was poking the side of it with his finger.
Yutaka let out another sigh. "Stop poking it you idiot. There's probably a keypad on it somewhere."
Kuri stopped prodding the machine as he looked over it more carefully. He shifted to the otherside of the machine as he leaned in closely to inspect it. After a moment he looked back at Yutaka. "Well, I don't see a keypad anywhere, just a bunch of dials and a button."
Yutaka placed his to his face before dragging his fingers down across it. He then muttered quietly to himself "Oh brother…" With a sigh he walked over to Kuri and looked down at the dials and buttons on the machine.
"Keypads, dials, buttons… same thing Kuri."
"Whenever I think of keypads, i think of a bunch of buttons with lights."
"Let's just set the date and time and go," Yutaka said as he took off his hood, revealing short, wavy, light brown hair that came down to his ears. He had light skin and his eyes were amber, with the slightest tint of green to them.
"How far back are we going again?" Kuri asked, throwing back his hood. Underneath, he had messy, semi-short black hair, the bangs were partially blocking his eyes. He had a pale complexion contrasting the dark amber, almost brown eyes.
"Eleven and a half years. That's how far we are going back," Yutaka said as he turned some dials and then pressed the button, putting in the numbers that were needed.
The machine started to hum quietly at first, before several lights around the entire thing lit up. After that more lights turned on as the humming grew louder. It soon reached it's peak as a glow started to form into the center of the portal frame.
"Do we even know if this thing works?"
"Well..." Yutaka paused for a moment looking at the machine. "We will just have to find out."
"See you on the other side then buddy. Jeronimo!" Kuri dived through the forming corridor made of swirling shades of purple.
Yutaka could only chuckled before he jumped into the corridor right after Kuri.
Somewhere else, far away, there were two girls in a room. The room was basic enough as it had two beds, a closet, and a desk with a computer. One girl was sitting on the floor with her eyes closed, tracing out something in the air with her right hand, while the other was asleep on one of the beds.
The girl on the bed had shoulder length caramel colored hair. She was wearing a light green t-shirt with a jean jacket over it, she was also wearing basic, light colored jeans, and she had purple sneakers.
The girl on the floor had light blue hair, part of it up in two buns on her head, while the rest of it reached between her shoulder blades; her bangs parted down the middle, in varying lengths, framing her face. She was wearing a black cloak, underneath, the high collar of her purple shirt was seen. She also had on black pants and black sneakers. There are also purple roses in one of the buns, purple ribbons holding the two buns in place, and a pair of dangle star earrings. On her forehead was a tiara of some sorts that contained five pearly white gems.
"Maybe this time." the girl sitting on the floor said quietly before she opened her eyes to reveal silver irises. The tips of her fingers began to glow before she drew an intricate shape in the air that somewhat resembles a snowflake.
When she finished she faintly said, "Avalanche," before a heaping pile of snow landed on her sleeping roommate.
The girl who was once sleeping on the bed quick shot up through the snow and glared, with emerald green eyes, at her roommate. "Why must you always practice that indoors and on me? Why must I always be your practice dummy? Also, why do you always do it when I'm sleeping?"
The girl sitting on the floor looked down before softly saying, "I'm sorry Juliana. It's just that… well… I kinda need a... target for most of my spells."
"We'll please do it next time when I'm awake, Tsuki."
"Ok then Juliana...uh… aren't you cold?" the now named Tsuki asked while looking up at Juliana.
"No not really. I don't really get cold that easily, but having a pile of heavy snow dumped on me is what woke me up." Juliana said crossing her arms. Though it was hard to see from where Tsuki sat, Juliana was actually shivering slightly.
"I still haven't gotten that…" Tsuki didn't finish as both she and Juliana disappeared in a flash of light.
"...spell down." finished Tsuki as the two of them appeared on a circular, stained glass panel.
The majority of the panel was various shades of pink, while surrounding the interior of the edge were the seven princesses of heart with a large blue heart shaped moon in the middle. Directly above the heart is Snow White, and going clockwise around, is followed by Cinderella, Jasmine, Alice, Kairi, Aurora, and ending with Bell to the left of Snow White.
Juliana looked around carefully and then at Tsuki. "Tsuki look where we are… Why are we here again? We haven't been here for a while."
"I'm not sure Juliana. The last time was when someone opened the Door to Darkness."
"Something even more troubling has befallen the world's."
"What's happened?" Juliana asked.
"Two seekers have stepped back in time to turn the present in their favor."
Tsuki stood there, a slight bit confused before asking, "Who went back in time, and what are we supposed to do to stop them?"
"Their names are Yutaka and Kuri."
"Y-Yutaka..." Juliana said quietly as her voice trembled. "No… How can that be...?"
"The two of you will be sent after them. But do not be afraid, you will not be alone, others will be joining you. Your task is to guide them in stopping the seekers from engulfing the worlds in darkness. You will all awaken as your past selves with you memories intact. Your abilities will be limited by what your body could do at that time. The seekers are in a similar position."
"When do we leave?" Juliana asked in a serious tone.
"Shortly. The ones you will be guiding, you will meet when they arrive in the past."
"Can you tell us who we will be meeting?" Juliana asked with curiosity.
"The two who closed the Door to Darkness, and a shadow of one of the two."
Juliana faced Tsuki. "Do you have any idea who they are? Do you know what their names are and stuff?"
Tsuki shook her head. "There were five who helped closed the Door to Darkness, but only one of them had a shadow to begin with. Chances are that we're not going to be given the others' names until we meet them."
Juliana sighed. "Fine alright. Let's just get ready to go."
"Be ready Tsuki. You will meet the first one quite some time after arriving. The others will come later. Good luck to both of you."
Tsuki and Juliana vanished once again in flashes of light.
"I wish you luck my child."
(11 and a half years in the past)
A young boy with short, curly black hair ran around, chasing his friend in a game of tag before he fell over, landing in the tall grass. The friend who had short brown hair ran to his friend and jumped on top of him.
"Ow! Get off me Yutaka!" Cried out the black haired boy.
Yutaka laughed. "Oh come on Kuri, I had to. I just couldn't resist."
Kuri looked at his friend, confused, before asking, "What was the last thing I said before you jumped on me?"
"I don't know, why?" Yukata asked.
"Cause either I've gone crazy or I'm not really eight."
"We time traveled didn't we? Well I guess we are our younger selves."
"Well, doesn't this throw a wrench into our plans?"
"I guess so but hey at least we don't have to worry about running into our past selves and causing a time paradox kinda thing," Yutaka said as he smiled.
"And we can be kids again!" Kuri cheered before throwing his friend off of him and running around.
Yutaka quickly grabbed his friend and hit him on the head. "Dude get a hold of yourself. Calm down it's not that exciting and we don't want to draw too much attention."
"Well, excuse me for not being boring Saix. I actually want to enjoy my freedom."
"I'm not like Saix, I just don't want to draw attention right now. Maybe we can stop by a candy store before we start our plan? How's that?"
"Yay! Candy!" Shouted out Kuri before saying, "We can wait like ten years before doing anything, right?"
And that's chapter 1. What did you think? If you want, let us know, feedback is always appreciated.
Also don't worry, Sora and friends will be in the next chapter :)
