Falling down, the heartless were surrounding him. He donned his twin sai and jumped to attack these shadowy creatures. The bastards were everywhere! Everyone was kept busy by the huge crowds of Shadows and Neoshadows.
"I have to help him!" A red-haired boy said, fighting against the darkened Heartless to reach a brown-haired boy with a keyblade. Theheartless soon disappeared, and he was making his way to Sora, ther hero of the worlds. But then, a twig snapped and the redhead turned around, and was taken down by the heartless...he could feel his heart pounding and he screamed. Then, nothing.. .just blackness. He could see the glowing pink thing-that was his heart! It was being taken from him. He tried to move, but his body just wasn't listening. He watched as his heart disappeared into the darkness, and the red-haired boy tried desperately to move. He screamed.

The red haired male woke up in his room in The Land of Dragons, blinking and looking around. He was still here? But, he was suppposed to be a heartless now! He looked up, then felt his hair go back...his hair was never this long..was it?
"Hao! You're awake!" the brown-haired boy was here, and so was a silver-haired boy and a red-haired girl.
"Oh, hey Sora." Hao said, his face blank."Hey Kairi, Riku." Here was his friends, but he didn't feel much emotion. His face then turned to one of disbelief and a bit of shock."No way.." he whispered, looking at his reflection in his bedroom mirror. He had changed so much-how long was he out? His hair, once shoulder length, now reached past his waist, and had become a bright red. His eyes had also become a shade of crimson, and his visible eye now had a black tearmark coming down from it.
"What..how long have I been out?" he asked.
"A couple of weeks, Hao. The heartless sure were vicious." A mouse came into the room, shaking his head."I'm surprised you're still here." King mickey had come.
"But what's happened to me? Why do I not recognise myself!" Hao stood up, his hair swishing. He lifted his bangs from his face-sure enough, his injured eye had a dark red sclera now and his eye was red also, but more dull. He was blind in that eye after all. He let his bangs fall.
"We're not sure..." King Mickey said, and Hao just made a growling sound. He then walked out.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Sora called after him, but Hao ran quickly-he was faster then before. Sora soon stopped. He looked to Riku and Kairi, who shrugged.
"Don't worry, Sora. He'll be back." Mickey said. Hao just kept on running until he was tired, and sat down on a rock near an abandoned castle. He had somehow managed to get to Hollow Bastion, by the looks of it...but how?
"What am I?" he cried out to nothing, as shadows gathered around him curiously.

The blonde boy laughed darkly as he ambushed the young woman, knocking her to her feet.
"Come on pretty, I can smell you," He growled-he was totally blind, so relied on his other senses. His eyes were tied with a blindfold-darkness kept his blind eyes from hurting in the light. The darkness in his heart had grown as they hated, ignored him...hurt him. The heartless gathered around, waiting for a chance to get a heart before it disappeared. The boy smirked wildly, acting kinda like a heartless himself. He leaned back, his blades and hands covered in innocent blood. The deed was done, and he had the prize in hand. The heart. The heartless edged forward, wanting to take the heart, but the boy snarled fiercely, biting at it and chewing it. No heartless would be getting a heart here today.
Suddenly, a painful feeling in his chest, and darkness.

The Blond-haired boy woke up alone, his blindfold laid out on the table next to him. He still couldn't see, but he could make out that it was darkness, and he was in a room with to other people. It seemed his senses had become even better than they were before, and he could tell what a person looked like just by scent and touch...wait, he could smell colours? He sat up quickly, then tried to stand up.
"Woah there," A brown haired woman stood near him, putting a friendly hand on his shoulder."Take it easy...you are hurt you know. My name is Aerith, and these are Cid, Yuffie and Tifa. What's your name kid?"
"I'm..." The boy searched in his head for his own name."I'm Haemo."
Aerith smiled.
"Anyway, you were in a clearing and you were out. You've been out for a good week and a half." She said."But we're surprised to see the heartless didn't go for you."
Haemo nodded. He then realised something-he felt strange and he couldn't feel his heartbeat, and he could sense that he looked different. he checke himself-his hair was still blonde, but it had grown a little longer. His eyes had turned red(apart from a little blue ring of colour around the iris.) and he had red markings coming from his eyes, which he touched-nope, they were just markings.
"Well, it is very kind of you to help me, Miss Aerith, but I gotta go," He stood up and brushed himself off. He then turned towards the door, which was open. He could smell the fresh air. He then walked out, avoiding the people. he then crouched, and started moving quickly through Hollow Bastion until he found an abandoned castle. It had a strange feeling about it, but Haemo quickly got over that idea. He noticed a redhaired male sat on a rock nearby...but he couldn't hear a heartbeat, just like Haemo himself. He approached this strange heartless male, cautiously.

Hao saw the boy approach him.
"Hey there, you okay, kid?" He said with a smile. Hao's hearing had gotten much better, and he had found he could summon some beautiful-looking sai. When he did so, some needles appeared also, with bells on them. He quickly tied his hair up and put the needles in his hair-they had bells on them, and he looked to this other person.
Haemo heard the guy get his weapons out, so Haemo summoned some hand blades, silver with red tips. He smirked as well, then looked confused as the other put his weapons away.
"No worries, kid, I'm not gonna hurt ya," Hao said."I'm Hao, and you are?"
"Name's Haemo." The blonde said, sighing. His eyes didn't hurt anymore, though he still could not see. He just wanted to know why his heart had suddenly stopped beating. He put a hand to his chest.
"Oh, you lost your heart too?" Hao said.
Haemo jumped, then blinked. "Lost...my heart?"
"Do you feel your heartbeat?"
"No.."
"Then you've lost your heart too." Hao sighed
"But..but we're not.." Haemo stuttered a little.
"Heartless? No. But we are not human any more."
Haemo sighed, then remembered something his mother told him. A group of 13, not heartless, but not human either. But apparently they were supposed to be extinct-the leader was defeated about nine months ago. He had heard the last part from a Mouse.
"Maybe we are not either of those, but we are the same as the Legendary Organisation...the one which is supposed to be gone for good.." Haemo said, looking out at the castle.
"I heard of them. Organisation XIII, nobodies..the last was killed by Sora a while back.." Hao said, then suddenly winced. Voices had started to talk in his head, telling him to open the path to darkness, that there is a way to restore the Legendary Organisation.
"What's wrong, Hao?" Haemo looked worried as Hao doubled over, hands over his ears. Hao looked up as the voices subsided.
"We gotta open a path to darkness...Restore the organisation.." Hao said, repeating some of the words the voices had said."Maybe we can find where we belong, if we join them?"
Haemo let the words sink in-Hao had started to hear voices in his head...but what the voices had said made sense, kinda.
"But how, how're we gonna do it, Hao?" Haemo said, then he turned around-voices were coming closer. hao heard them approaching too, and the voices started to murmur again.
"Attack the keyblade boy...and you can cause the rift in darkness...and then you can set us free... The voice had a sound of authority, and Hao smirked. He could hold his own against Sora and his friends. He summoned his Sai again, making a mental note to name them later. Haemo had kept his blades out, and was now smirking like a feral beast.

"Hao!" Sora called out, entering the clearing with Riku, Mickey, Goofy, Donald and Kairi. He saw his friend, and other male, a blonde boy with a feral smirk. They realised that Hao had taken out his weapons on them, and the boy had hand blades. Hao smirked, then moved quickly, Sora only just blocking Hao's sai with his keyblade.
"What are you doing?" Sora said, then Hao jumped back, attacking again. Riku and Kairi moved forward, but Mickey stopped them.
"Let them have this fight-Sora's strong." He said, Riku still moved forward, but then was stopped by the blonde boy, who appeared like a wild cat. As the fighting went on, clashing and clanging, dark cracks had appeared in the air behind the fighters. Hao smirked as he jumped, then threw his Sai, Sora blocking them with his keyblade, but they made a loud sound...and then Sora had been knocked back, covering his ears. Hao landed retrieving his Sai with a grin-wow, he had not expected his weapons to cause such damage using only noise. Sora made to attack again, but Hao knocked the Keyblade out of his hand, the blade pointing to face Sora and glowed. Sora felt weak, then sank to his knees, his face going blank. He became very still, though his heart was beating really fast-as if somthing was trying to escape. Riku growled and moved forward, but was knocked to the ground by Haemo. The darkness had finally opened, and Hao watched it with a enthusiastic interest. His red eyes were shining...this was the rift in the darkness, and they only needed to step through it to start finding the Organisation.
"Hao! Stop!" "Hao, don't do it!" "No, you can't!" "HAO!" The chorus of voices came out, and Hao hesitated. Sora was still in some kind of trance...and the voices were getting louder.
We're getting impatient...come on now and release us... Well, his old friends wouldn't be able to help him fit in anywhere. He had no heart, but was not a heartless...so he was a nobody.
"You think you can stop me?" Hao said, glaring at them. Riku and Kairi remebered the time they fough Xemnas...now Hao was starting to remind them of him.
Haemo smirked, jumping back and going to Hao's side.
"C'mon, you really think our will is that breakable?" He scoffed, then licked his fangs."When we release the Legendary Organisation, we'll fit in, and then we won't have to hide from people. We're fucking nobodies. No-one else'll let us fit in." Haemo growled-he undertood the feeling of not belonging- he had never belonged, even before he lost his heart to the darkness.

Hao turned away, walking into the darkness. Haemo followed him in there, and the portal closed up.
