Hola! This is just a Kingdom Hearts fanfic I just started working on. The two main characters are Leon and Cloud. NOTE: This fanfic does not follow the story line of the Final Fantasy games that Leon and Cloud are in, because I don't really know what happened in those games I just started playing them. It takes place during Kingdom Hearts. But I just really wanted to put this fic up. Please be nice and review to tell me how I did. Gracious! ^-^

Cloud walked down the endless dirt road. Trees to either side of him, nothing to see up ahead, nothing to see back behind. He liked being alone, anyways. But he just wished he could find some civilization. Cloud stopped walking and sat against a tree. He sighed and looked up at the sky, and recalled why he had set out traveling.

He wanted to remember. He wasn't one to reflect on memories, but something had started itching the back of his head lately. It had occurred to him that he couldn't remember his past, but lately something inside him told him to find out what it was. He also faintly recalled that he used to have a traveling partner. Maybe even someone he was close to, if he even dared to think about that. So that was why Cloud had set out.

But, besides finding who ever this "mystery person" was and remembering what he used to do, he had also set out to find out about his curse.

In Cloud's opinion, he was doubly cursed. The first curse was not being able to remember what he used to be. Used to be. He was quite sure he wasn't the same as he had always been. That was because of his second curse. For some reason, Cloud had a wing. A black wing, too. Like some demon's. The wing only gave Cloud a disadvantage, except for in fighting, and he was sure that it was the purpose he was now trying to uncover forgotten memories.

Cloud picked himself off the ground and continued walking. As he said before, he didn't like to reflect on memories.

Something to the right of him in the trees moved. Cloud stopped, and turned towards the trees. Suddenly, three Big Body Heartless shook their way out of the forest and confronted Cloud, ready to fight.

"To bad, you caught me when I was really pissed." Cloud retorted to their challenge, and took out his sword. He softly chanted a spell that made his wing come out, and flew up into the air, ready to strike.

You had to feel sorry for the Heartless.

It was night in Traverse Town. But then again, it was always night in Traverse Town. The stars shone brightly as they always did. The First District was deserted, all the lights out, for it really was the time when people slept. Well, First District was deserted except for one person.

Leon sat on the front steps of the First District, gazing up at the stars. But he wasn't really looking at the stars. He was lost in his own world, remembering how things used to be.

He saw remembering his past. But mostly, he was remembering Rinoa. Just her name brought up a lot of memories. Some felt good, but in the end it all lead to more sorrow for Leon. Rinoa. Rinoa was the one girl who had made it all complete for him. He had always felt weird around her, amazed at her carefree attitude. She was the only person he had ever been interested in, and they had made a promise. Back at the academy. But she broke it.

----------------------------------------- Flashback ------------------------ ----------------------------

Leon, or Squall as it was back then, and Seifer walked up the steps back to the SeeD academy. They had won the final battle. They had set things right again. All their training had paid off. And there she was, at the top of the stairs, Rinoa Heartilly. Looking as beautiful as ever. She had promised she would wait, and she did.

Squall stopped up the steps halfway and leaned against the railing. He looked up at Rinoa, and her eyes sparkled back at him. It was to bad that they had never told each other about their feelings. They had come close just once. But no, never the words Squall longed to say - I love you. Seifer, however, continued to the top of the steps, where he was greeted by the Headmistress.

As Squall watched, Seifer received an Honor award for winning the big battle. Squall would get one later, right now he just wanted to relax. But then, something strange happened. Rinoa looked straight into Seifer's eyes, and he held her close. And then, right before Squall's eyes, they shared a lover's kiss.

Squall just stood there, leaning against the railing, watching the one girl he loved share a kiss with the man he had just fought alongside. It was as if Rinoa didn't even notice him. After a few minutes, however, he regained his normal posture and I-don't-care expression. He did, after all, have a lone wolf reputation.

He walked off, away from the group, with a grunt that said, "I don't care about two lovers." But inside, for the first time, his heart broke.

-------------------------------------- End Flashback ----------------------- ---------------------------

Leon stayed still on the First District steps. He would never in his life forget that moment. The moment when he was punished by the one he loved. He had tried to forget it, leave it in the past, it was even part of the reason he had changed his name. But no, it stuck. He was especially remembering it more lately for some reason. It really made him depressed.

He also remembered when his world was swallowed by darkness. He had tried to save people when it happened, even Rinoa, but he got blown away to Traverse Town before that could happen.

Leon looked at the stars again. He wondered to himself; "I wonder where she is now?"
