Hollow Bastion
The Nobody appeared in the same place from which she had departed from. She found herself lying with her head against a fountain that had a small stream of water slowly trickling out from an ugly feature. The ends of her ginger hair were dipped in water and she pulled it out, gently drawing her hands along it to dry it. She pulled at the bottom of her torn black dress and placed her hands firmly on the edge of the fountain. Standing up on her new born legs, she looked around at the empty foyer of the castle that once housed an evil fairy, herself and one of her best friends. Her murderer had once lived here as well; the woman who had put on a sickly sweet façade and led her to her ultimate death.
She looked over at the door as it opened, scraping the ground in protest as someone pushed it from the other side. It was a girl; another Nobody like herself. Even though the hood of her black coat shrouded her face, she could tell by her slender and feminine figure. She was short, the same height as the best friend of her Somebody. She could also see purple hair showing from underneath her hood. But how could it be? Surely Kira hadn't been killed as well? Not that it stirred any emotions in the Nobody. She didn't have any.
The girl met her in the middle of the hall and stood there motionless. Maybe she was staring at her, but the Nobody couldn't see the girl's eyes behind the shadow that the hood cast on her face. Only seconds had passed in silence before a dark corridor appeared between them and a tall, manly figure stepped out of it. He commanded the corridor to disappear with a flick of his gloved wrist. The ginger-haired Nobody briskly walked around the figure to stand next to the girl on the other side. The figure stared at the two female Nobodies, grinning slyly at them.
"Chosen by Keyblades of Darkness. The abilities you possess will be put to good use amongst our ranks. However, I only require one of you," the hooded figure held a hand out in front of the purple-haired Nobody.
The name 'KIRA' appeared in gold letters in front of her. The figure swiped his hand across them and made the letters spin in a circle in the space between him and the girl. He flexed his fingers and an extra letter, an "X," joined the others. They then stopped spinning, now forming a new word.
"You have now been reborn…Number XIV," the figure told her.
The girl looked up at the word in front of her and said the name out loud in a confident voice.
"Xarki."
The figure opened a Corridor of Darkness and stepped through with Xarki following after him. The ginger Nobody stared at the dark portal as it disappeared when the two had left. She stood motionless and expressionless for a few moments before opening her own Corridor of Darkness. She disappeared into it and reappeared in another part of the castle. A small simple room with a dresser and mirror against one wall and two beds against another. No windows. The Nobody had few memories of this room, but she knew that the person who used to live in the castle had given it to her to sleep in while she was staying here. And so the Nobody decided that this was where she belonged. She walked slowly to the bed and pulled back the quilt. She lay in it and pulled the covers all the way up to her chin. The Nobody stared up at the ceiling, her eyes half open from weariness. The room was almost pitch black from the lack of spaces for light to get through. She knew that this room was where she must sleep. She would sleep and she would wait until the time came when someone would come to wake her up.
"There's no one that can hurt you now/ you can hold my hand. You're my angel/ and I'll always be yours."
The End
FINAL NOTE: Well, holy mother of Xehanort, I actually did it! And so concludes part 1 of Kingdom Hearts: Dark Hearts. Let me just say, I'm reeeeally sorry it didn't have a very happy ending, but KH1, 358/2 Days and Birth by Sleep didn't have particularly happy endings either, so y'know...just keeping with the original feel of Kingdom Hearts! But, of course, you didn't actually think that's where the story ended, right? (Oh, and I know that Xion is No. XIV, but there's an explanation as to why Xarki is also No. XIV. You'll just have to wait for it!) Part 2 is still in progress, but you can look forward to...
Kira/Xarki's time in Organization XIII. Discovering that her heart has returned and that she is no longer a Nobody, she is determined to hide this secret from the Organization until she finds a way to escape.
After sleeping for a whole year, Tsuki's Nobody is finally awoken by Riku who has returned to save her and get her heart back with the light that Roka has been keeping safe for her. Tsuki and Riku will be the main characters of Part 2 as they go on an adventure together in Disney worlds that weren't in the original games! Three new original characters will be introduced, as well!
And that's all I can tell you for the moment! Thanks for sticking with me till the end, you're absolutely amazing! See you soon~!
