Dislocated Hearts

Chapter One: A Dark and Lonely Abyss

Rouge's Journal One.

There are many worlds out there besides my own little one, I found. Beyond these worlds lies a surface of other worlds, and beyond that, even more. An infinite system of worlds, what shall I call this? I believe I shall call this system The Macrocosm, a fitting name, no? Besides that, however…I have no data to report. Ol-…Yuki, I mean, has reports to be given to me. Oh, wait…………………… I just got them and sent him on his way. It appears my predictions were correct, there are indeed others besides the Empty Ones and the Dark Ones. They are born when a person willingly becomes an Empty One, but were never meant to have a Heart as a human. These things include, but are not limited to, humans created by magic, science, and other forms of varies arts. As such they are created, a 'real' Heart can never be created with them, so a 'temporary' is made while the body and soul wait for such a time where it will get a real one. The Temp Heart uses the mind, not the Real Heart (obviously), to process thoughts and emotions, so the strain on the brain is even worse, leaving no room for any special evolutions of the mind,

only the Body and Soul.

The body is fooled into thinking it will get such a 'Real' Heart, when it won't. The Soul, however, knows it will not get this Heart. The person ends up being unstable and unpredictable. My test subject, who I have named Julia, due to her losing her memory, is beginning to dive into darkness. She will soon become one of those Fake Empty Ones, which I am calling a Passer. The other end of the result, the Fake Dark One…I haven't come up with a name yet. Surely Passer's would be stronger, as the Body and Soul are stronger in them. That must mean, (with the Temp Heart), the Fake Dark Ones would be weaker. I think I'll call those the Shader's, yes I think that's fitting.

End of Journal One. I have to go check on Yuki and make sure Julia is passing well in the holding tank. I don't really know how Yuki got her to give in to darkness this quickly, but I have faith in my assistant.

Loxsth stared at the piece of paper, then pierced her crimson lips together in an evil smirk. "Well, well." She whispered. "It appears I shall need to return this to Rouge…" She turned away from the bookcase she found the paper in and began to walk out, her long, black, silky dress flowing with her every step, seemingly on it's own sometimes. But there was no wind. "I shall have to find her first, no?" She smiled, mocking her former "master". She threw the paper into the air. She walked out of the dust-filled mansion of twilight as the paper blew out the door with her.

There was no wind.

Sora smiled to himself. Finally he was home. After years of fighting Heartless, Nobodies, and other assorted people, he was home. He lay back on his (small) bed, laughing at his size and the size of his bed, but he really didn't care about how his room still looked like. 'Back with Riku, Kairi, Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie…my parents…everybody.' He thought out loud to himself. 'Forever…' As soon as he said this, he wished he hadn't. He pulled out his letter from King Mickey and read it over again, as he'd been doing for a week.

Hey guys,

There's been trouble a'brewin' in the Universe. After Sora and Riku defeated Xemnas, I honestly thought it would all be over. I'm sorry to say that's not the case, I truly am. I dun' like to keep asking favors of you guys, but you're the keyblade warriors, it's your duty. Another Organization has been set-up. Actually two. One is made out of Nobodies, like Organization XIII. They call themselves The Prime Sequence. The other Organization is made up of…I'm not really sure. They're not nobodies, but too many of them have human forms to be Heartless. They can think and everything…it's just…scary. They call themselves The Eliminators. The two seem to be plotting different idea's, I'm not sure if they even know about each other. Knowing our past adventures, they might be planning another Kingdom Hearts scheme. We need to at least check it out.

I'll be sending a gummie ship in 10 days, get your lives together by then...once again, I'm sorry for this.

P.S: Bring Kairi too, I've already sent Donald and Goofy to other worlds, and though I think you and Riku could handle it alone, I think it's best you travel as three. I still feel guilty and it'll only make it worse if I split you three up.

Sora looked up from the letter. 'At least he's sorry about it…' He thought. It didn't make him feel any better. Who was he to give him orders?! Sora blinked. That must have been Roxas thinking. Rebellious thoughts that weren't his own sometimes raced through his head.

His attention drifted to the part about Kairi. He had made his relationship with her very clear two days ago.

Kairi stared at Sora. "Why…why won't you kiss me?" Sora shrugged and looked away. "I just…I dunno. I really would just like to be friends Kairi" Sora whispered, still looking away. Kairi stared back at him. "That's…fine Sora. It's just, about the Popou Fruit…the drawings…I waited so long and I thought that…" She looked down. Sora snapped his vision back to her. "Kairi, I was just a kid. I did that to be…I dunno, dramatic. I think you did the same." He smiled. "We've both matured so much. I think we just kept our feelings because we were away from each other. Can you honestly say you're in love with me like you were before we came back?" Kairi thought for a minute or two, leaving Sora in an awkward silence. She slowly smiled. "I guess you're right Sora…We both needed comfort…we should just be friends; besides…" She grinned. "Riku would be the third wheel if we dated." She finished. Sora smirked and nodded.

He smiled to himself, thinking of how well it went. Nothing went well when he told her it would be dangerous for her to go with him though. SORA! Do you think I can't defend myself? I defeated about 43 Heartless, thank-you-very-much! He cringed at the thought of that conversation.

As of what Sora thought about the two Organizations, he thought they were both unoriginal copies of Organization XIII, trying to act like them. 'Stupid nobodies…" He said in a phrase that sounded like it should've been said by Ansem The Wise.

Inside the subconscious of the Keyblade Master, Roxas stirred in thought. 'Nobodies…aren't worthless…' He brought himself to say in Sora's head. Sora heard this thought. "Well…you're not." He said out loud, hoping to reach him. 'We…We have feelings…' Roxas thought. "No, no you don't, you only remember them." Sora said out loud, then rolled over and fell to sleep.

How could I remember feelings? I have no memories of being Sora.
