Before Number One

Chapter 2

A/N: Thank you for your reviews. Xehanort's Heartless Guardian is actually going to talk in this story and he is a being itself and not attach to anyone. Excuse any grammar mistakes. I do not own KH blah blah blah.

XxxxxXxxxxxX

Hope left back home after Xehanort's parents come back. She took a train across town and as she looked at the sun fade away, she thought that if the world was peaceful as it was when she was with Xehanort, then everything will be okay.

Once she got off the train, she had to walk for a while to arrive at her small house.

Yet she never did.

Just outside of her house was one of the biggest nightmares she unleashed.

The Heartless; Guardian.

"Hope…" He smirked.

Hope looked at him with rage in her eyes. "Guardian…What are you doing here? I thought I've banished you from this world"

"You forgot a little something. I can travel through shadows. There are shadows everywhere"

"Go back where you belong before I really destroy you once and for all"

"Are you trying to hold the darkness back?" Guardian mocked her.

Hope stayed silent for a second; knowing this was true. "Leave. Now." She managed to say.

"Well I'm not the one who's going to leave. You are."

"Why do you say that?"

Guardian smirked even more. "Haven't you realized?...Little Xehanort is being taken away as we speak"

Hope gasped. "No…What have you done?!"

She couldn't hold the darkness back any longer and she shot balls of darkness towards Guardian who easily blocked them.

"Looks like someone cant keep their emotions under control."

"Shut up!" Hope yelled and didn't waste any more time. She began running towards Xehanort's house; Wondering the whole way there if time was still on her side.

XxxxxxxXxxxxxX

When Hope got there, she found Xehanort reaching out for swirls of darkness itself. A big tornado of darkness spin above them, taking everything away.

"Don't!" Hope threw herself to protect Xehanort from any contact with darkness and hugged him.

"We have to get out of here" Hope told him and looked behind her.

Guardian was floating in the air and was getting ready to spread the darkness all around.

"No you don't" Hope whispered and managed to create a Corridor of Darkness behind her, grab Xehanort and jump in.

"You cant hide from the past Destiny!"

She heard Guardian roar at the last minute. A tear fell across her cheek as all of her past passed through her mind in a matter of seconds.

XxxxxXxxxxX

"Hope? How come we cant go back to our homes?" Little Xehanort asked.

Hope had teleported them to a world she had found long ago in an attempt to create peace. It was late at night and cold, but the world was a beautiful island in the middle of an infinite ocean. It was completely lonely and Hope thought it would be the perfect place to protect Xehanort.

They stood near the shore.

"Xehanort…" Hope whispered.

"Yes Hope?" Xehanort smiled.

"…My name's not Hope"

"Huh?"

"My name is Destiny"

Xehanort was confused. "How come you changed your name to Hope then?"

Destiny smiled at him. "To protect my identity from bad people"

"Oh," Xehanort nodded. "I see. That makes sense"

Destiny kneeled down and brushed his hair out of his face. "We need to stay here or bad people will get us"

"You mean the darkness?" He looked at her in the eyes and she tried to be strong for him.

"Yes. The darkness can get us. This is our new home. We can never go back"

Xehanort nodded. "I understand. I didn't want to go back anyways" He smiled.

Destiny couldn't help but to smile too. "Okay. Let's build our home buddy" She grabbed his small hand and the both went to gather as much wood as possible.

XxxxxxXxxxxX

Together they built bridges, small shacks, and one big house for them to live in. It took months but when they finished, they felt proud of themselves.

"It looks beautiful" Destiny whispered to herself. She felt Xehanort tug at her jeans. She looked down and he was holding a piece of wood with the name 'Destiny Islands' engraved on it.

"What's this?" She asked.

"It's the name of the world" He smiled brightly. "Since it doesn't have a name, I named it after you. You discovered it first"

Destiny smiled. "Hm…Destiny Islands…Has a nice ring to it"

Xehanort smiled even more. "It is officially Destiny Islands, yay!"

Destiny couldn't help but to chuckle lightly along with him jumping up and down.

Maybe…Just Maybe…

Destiny could began to create peace for Xehanort

A/N: Now you know where the name came from and who discovered Destiny Islands first. Don't forget to review please.
