I should also include that this fanfic will have at least one other world that currently isn't canon in the Kingdom Hearts universe. There also may be a world or two that aren't Disney worlds, and may be things from TV Shows or anime. Keep your eyes peeled, just in case! ;) Sorry if it seems like things are moving ahead fast, but that's how this fanfic is planned.

It's planned to have between four and six chapters, so...yeah.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts. However, I do own Nina.


02: A Boy With Cat Ears

Nina sighed as she launched herself towards the next available world she could go to. A place called 'The Badlands'. She landed and looked around, dispersing her armor. She saw that she is the only one there.

Nina dispersed her armor, and heard footsteps. She spun around and saw the same boy she had encountered at Radiant Garden. She looked at him. "What is your name?" Nina asked as she boy walked closer to her. He stopped in front of her. "Vanitas." He said simply. "Vanitas…?" Nina asked.

Vanitas stayed silent and Nina sighed. "Why did you call me here? That is the only reason I was able to find this place."

Vanitas reached toward Nina and she let him stroke her cheek. "Nina…you shouldn't have left." He said softly. "What the heck are you talking about?" Nina asked, pushing his hand away. Vanitas grabbed Nina's wrist, surprising her.

"Nina, why did you leave after Ventus?" Vanitas asked. "I…I left because I have to tell him something." Nina said, looking away from Vanitas. He released her wrist and Nina heard some shuffling. She looked at him and his helmet was off.

He has spiky, jet-black hair, golden-yellow eyes, and pale skin. "What was so important that you had to leave the safety of your homeworld?" Vanitas asked. Nina shook her head. "You wouldn't understand." She said, turning away from Vanitas. "Nina, tell me." He said. "I…can't. I can only tell Ven." Nina said as she started to walk away.

"Don't walk away when I'm talking to you!" Vanitas growled, grabbing Nina's wrist. He pulled her closer to him and snarled. "Tell me, damn it." He said through his teeth. Nina looked down.

"I…I like him." she muttered. "Say it louder!" Vanitas said, grabbing Nina's face with his hand. "I like Ven, okay? I've liked him…ever since he joined us…" Nina said as she blushed and looked away. "It's too late…" Vanitas muttered. "Pardon?" Nina asked.

Vanitas smirked. "Are you sure that you like Ventus?" He asked. "Yes, I'm positive." Nina said, struggling to get out of his grasp. "I'll make you forget him." Vanitas said.

He moved his hand and his arm quickly snaked around Nina's waist and he tilted her face towards his with his other hand. "W-What…what are you saying…?"

Vanitas smirked and planted a kiss on Nina's lips.

Her eyes widened and she struggled to pull away. He tightened his hold around her waist and forced her lips to part. Nina pushed his face away from hers and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

Vanitas smirked and released Nina, who fell to her knees. "It's better if you forget about Ventus. He is just a nuisance." Vanitas said. He opened a portal and turned to look at Nina, who was watching him, still holding her mouth.

Vanitas smirked before putting his helmet back on. "Goodbye Nina."

Vanitas stepped through the portal and it disappeared.


Nina landed on the next place available. Disney Town. She looked around to see that what she assumed to be the town square is decorated. Nina walked around and when she was in the gazebo, she spotted a group beside a machine.

"Yeah, all we were tryin' to do was make our own special recipe ice cream." One of the people said. "An' we had a little trouble." The second one said. "Come on, it's not really that big a deal." The third person said. "I'm 100% positive you're the victims of sabotage!" The big guy by them said.

"Not even close! Quit makin' stuff up!" The second person said. "It's just the ice cream machine." The third said. "Unca Scrooge left it for us…but we can't figure out how it works because it's so complicated." The first said. "Aw, we're sorry Queen Minnie. We wanted you to be the first to try out our special recipe ice cream." The second said.

The woman, who Nina assumed to be the queen, turned to the boys. "Oh boys, it was very sweet of you to think of me." She said with a smile on her face. "We tried." The third boy said sadly. "Say no more, leave it to me; one bowl of ice cream comin' right up!" The big guy said. "You're just gonna make a mess. Leave it alone Pete!" The second boy said angrily. "That's Captain Justice!" The big guy, Pete, roared.

Nina rested her arms on the gazebo fence and watched as Pete attempted, and failed, to help the situation. That was when Nina noticed Ven standing with the group. "Aw, this machine is busted! It just needs a good poundin'!" Pete growled, hitting the ice cream machine. "It does not!" Minnie said.

"Hey, do you think I could give it a shot?" Ven asked. "No, if Captain Justice can't fix it, there ain't nothin' you can do, kid." Pete said. "Maybe not, but there's no harm in trying." Ven said as he walked towards the machine.

Nina smiled and chuckled to herself. "That's just like Ven…" She thought as Ven sat in the chair and started the machine. Ven successfully got the machine to work and Nina's smile turned into a grin as she watched the three boys were happily chattering to themselves before Pete decided to try to destroy the machine.

Ven and the others chased him away and Nina turned. She walked out of the Gazebo and sighed.

"Nina?"

Nina turned and Ven was waving him arm madly, a cheesy grin on his face. Nina ran over to him.

"Hey Ven. How's…how's it going?" she asked. "It's been great!" Ven said happily. Nina smiled and sighed. "Hey Ven, could I talk to you alone?" she asked. "Um, sure!" Ven said.

The two friends walked over to a bench and sat together. Nina watched as the queen and the three boys started talking. "So, what's up Nina?" Ven asked. "Ven…I like you. I have liked you for a while now." Nina said. "Oh…" Ven said in slight surprise.

"It's just…I'm confused now." Nina said, looking at Ven. "What do you mean? How are you confused?" Ven asked. Nina leaned her head back and looked up at the sky.

"There's…another boy. I feel like I know him, and yet…we've only met twice. The second time we met, he kissed me." Nina said. "Do…I know him?" Ven asked, putting his hand on Nina's knee. She bit her lip and slowly nodded.

"I'm afraid that you do." she said. Ven hugged Nina and she hugged him back. "Nina…" Ven started. Nina pulled away from Ven and shook her head. "Don't tell me if you don't like me. I can take a hint. I've…just wanted to tell you that for a while, and it took a kick in the butt for me to tell you." Nina said with a faint smile on her lips.

"Nina, could you at least tell me the name of the boy who kissed you?" Ven asked. "No; I'm sorry Ven." Nina said. She stood up. "Think about it, okay? You can let me know what you think later." Nina said, smiling weakly at Ven. She turned to leave before

Ven stood and caught her wrist. "Nina, wait!" He said. "What is it?" Nina asked, not looking at Ven.

"Please…be careful. Don't let yourself get too close to the darkness."


Nina sat on the edge of a cliff in the world she had met Vanitas at before. Wind was blowing, and Nina had to put her hair behind her ears to get it to stay. She looked down, towards the bottom of the cliff and shook her head.

"It's such a sad thing…these feelings…" She muttered aloud as a few tears slid down her face. She heard a familiar noise and then footsteps.

Vanitas sat beside Nina, and she continued to stare straight ahead. "So you told him." He said. Nina stayed silent and Vanitas grabbed her hand. She wordlessly tangled her fingers into his.

"You were right. It is too late to tell him." Nina said quietly. The two sat there in silence, watching the dust in the distance fly around in the air. After a while, the silence was broken.

"How did you know it was me?" Vanitas asked. "What?" Nina asked, looking at Vanitas.

His hand tightened around Nina's. "Back in Radiant Garden. You knew I was the same person that you saw in your dream." Vanitas said softly. "Your voice. It was the exact same…and when Aqua showed, it was harsher, but still the same."

Vanitas chuckled and Nina looked at him to see the black glass on his helmet melt away. He looked back at her and leaned his forehead onto hers. "Of course; my voice of all things." he muttered. Nina smiled sadly.

"So how is it…that I feel like I know you so well?" she asked. Vanitas looked straight ahead. "I…I'm not really my own being." Vanitas said. "What? But you're…right here, holding my hand." Nina said. Vanitas looked back at Nina and placed his hand on her cheek. "Nina…you are so naïve. I don't think you'd be so enchanted with me if you knew the truth." He said with a sad smile. "Try me."

Vanitas explained it to Nina. How he came to be. How he is a part of Ventus, and used to be just like him, but due to the suffering he endured by the hands of Master Xehanort, and his desperate desire for salvation, he became proud and cruel in order to achieve enough strength to forge the χ-Blade with Ventus, believing that to be the salvation he desired. But then he felt Nina's light, and felt a pull towards her.

He had tried to warn her to stay in her homeworld, but she didn't, and now she's in danger.

"With you…I feel compassion. I feel like I don't have to do the things he makes me. When I'm not with you, I feel…I feel like I have to do the things he tells me." Vanitas said, finishing his little story.

"Vanitas…you don't have to do what he tells you." Nina said. "I don't have a choice Nina…he found out that I'm…infatuated with you. He holds your life as a ransom now." Vanitas said.

"He can't. There's no way he is able. I promise you that I will not left myself be killed by him." Nina said, gently squeezing Vanitas' hand. Vanitas chuckled. "Of course you'd say that." he said with a smile.

Nina smiled. "I don't care if the others don't approve. I'll stay by your side." She said.

Vanitas tapped his forehead onto hers again. "Alright. I'll hold you to that." He said with a slight smirk. "Okay." Nina said. Vanitas kissed her, but this time was different.

Nina felt like it was…right.


Nina stepped onto the ground as she dispersed her armor. The world she's in now seems different than the others. She looked around herself to see that she was in a forest. She sighed and started walking down the path that she was on.

"Wherever I am…" She thought. Her thoughts were interrupted by a twig snapping. Nina quickly spun around. "Who's there?!" She asked. She heard more footsteps to her side. "I asked who's there! Answer me!" Nina shouted.

She heard the footsteps get closer behind her and she summoned her keyblade before spinning around and holding it to the neck of the person behind her.

"W-Whoa! How did you do that?!"

Nina blinked. She looked at the teenager in front of her.

He has pinkish-purple hair, golden eyes, and cat ears. Cat ears… Nina stepped back and looked at the boy. He's wearing punkish clothing and…has a cat tail. A tail.

"Just where the heck am I?!"

The boy in front of her had a huge grin on his face.

"Where did you get that weapon?! I've never seen one like that!" He said, the excitement clear on his face. "Who…are you? Where am I?" Nina asked, still holding her keyblade out.

The boy leaned close to Nina and…smelled her? His lips curled in confusion.

"Huh, you smell…different." He said. "Smell?" Nina asked. "You don't smell like one of us, and you don't smell like an outsider." The boy said.

"Outsider?" Nina repeated in confusion. The boy smiled. "You do smell nice though. My name's Boris." The boy said happily. "Where am I?" Nina asked, lowering her keyblade. "You're in Wonderland!" Boris said with a smile.

"Wonderland?" Nina asked. "Or to be more specific, you're in the Country of Hearts. There's a slight difference between Wonderland and the Country of Hearts." Boris said. "What's that?" Nina asked.

Boris smiled. "There's a territorial war going on!"

"Um…alright…" Nina said slowly. "What's your name?" Boris asked.

"…Nina."

Boris grinned when Nina made her keyblade disappear. "That's cool!" He said happily. "Okay Boris, this is a…forest?" Nina asked.

"Yes! It's the forest that pretty much connects all of the territories. There are four altogether." Boris replied. He plopped down onto the ground and Nina looked at him questioningly.

"My legs are tired. You can sit down too." Boris said. Nina smiled and sat across from Boris. "So tell me about these territories, Boris." She said. "Well, there's-"

Boris was interrupted by a noise. Nina quickly looked to her side and saw an unversed and she jumped up. "Damn it!" She said. "What is that?" Boris asked.

The unversed started toward them and Nina was summoning her keyblade when she heard a gunshot and the unversed was gone. She looked and Boris was holding up a gun, smoke rising from the barrel, and a smile on his face.

"That was so cool!" He said. More unversed appeared, and Nina stood up straight, summoning her keyblade. "Well Boris, I hope you can fight then." she said. A smirk appeared on Boris' face. "Oh yeah."
