Disclaimer: (sings) I do not own Kingdom Hearts, I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy 7!!!! The only character I own is Tristy!!!



Author's note: Yup. . . the idea came to me playing that game for the 3 time in a row. I don't know if it's me or not ( and it's not), but don't Riku looks a lot like Sephiroth, huh?? (Even my friends says it too) I mean they got the hair, the eyes, heck they even got the same attitude! But I don't know, I would be the least surprise if they is related. Any who, please, read and review, thanks

I guess that's. . . what I get. . .for falling into the dark. . .//

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Riku was awaken by the clanking sound of pots and pans nearby. Slowly he opened his eyes scanning the room to see what was happening. He was on a sofa, with lace decorations on the pillows, gold and silver swirls going in every direction it can go in on the curtains hanging up in front of the windows, a small wooden table, with a flower was placed in the middle along with medication by it. He sat up, noticing something felt light on his head. He reached up touching his forehead, feeling the bandage that was wrapped around it. He looked down at himself just to find that he was wearing no clothing, only an blanket was covering his waist.


"I see that you are finally awake." Riku turned his head in a instant when he heard the voice. There standing in the door way was a middle aged woman with black hair with some grey showing tied up in a pony tail, hazel eyes, wearing a pink and blue flower pattern gown to her knees, pink house slippers, and carrying a tray some tea, toast, and jelly. There eyes met. The woman went over to the small table and sat the stuff down.


"I was hoping that you will be hungry when you woke up." Riku stared at her with a concern look on his face.


"Where am I?"


"Rocket Town, son."


"Rocket. . . Town?"


"Yes." Riku looked at the woman strangely. The middle aged woman smiled at him.


"I guess you don't remember anything since you been knocked out."


"Knocked out?" She shook her head.


"And not only that, you were badly hurt, as well." Riku turned his attention to the blanket that was half way covering him up.


//I never heard of Rocket Town. . . unless I ended up in another world. . .that must be it.//


"Maybe you should eat to make you feel better?" Riku looked at the woman again and nodded. Silently he whispered thank you.


"You're welcome, son." The black haired figure sat across from him in a brown recliner chair started knitting something. Riku grabbed the tray hesitantly, and began to eat. The woman stared at the silver haired boy. She opened her mouth, softly speaking.


"Do you have a name, son?" He nodded his head yes.


"Riku."


"Riku. . . that's a sweet name. . .well my name is Tristy. Let me say that I put up on tough fight to bring you here."


"Why?"


"Because you look like a particular someone 7 months ago, that tried to kill us all. Need more tea?"


"Yes, please." She got up and went to the kitchen to grab the tea pot. Carefully pouring the tea, into his cup, she looked in his eyes deeply. She took a deep surprising breath at the resemblance, that the person 7 months ago that tried to kill the world.


"Unbelievable, you look just like him. No wonder people are afraid of you." He left his gaze and looked at the dark pool of the tea that the woman gave him.


"Tristy, who is this person you say that I look like?" She waved her hand, shaking her head at the same time.


"Nothing it's all in the past, now, but I would be very careful if I was you if you decide to leave and go somewhere, because people might end up killing you."


"Why will they end up killing me?"


"Cause people are ignorant and are still traumatized by the whole thing, and they might mis take you as that horrible man that almost killed us all if it wasn't for that oh what was his name. . . Cloud. That's it .Cloud Strife. That saved us."


"Cloud Strife?"


"Hmm. You sound like you know that name."


"I sorta do, but I can't remember."


"That's alright, son. You don't need to remember. He lives in Wutai. If you ever need to see him, he lives there. Though I do not where. Are you done with your breakfast?" Riku shook his head yes. Still holding his cup of tea, she got the tray and took it into the kitchen.


"Your clothes are drying outside, if you're curious what happened to them."


//Cloud Strife. . .I think Hades mention him before. . .I'm not too sure. My head hurts.//


He held his head with his one free hand rubbing his temple. Pounding like a hammer drilling in a nail in to a wall, his headache seem to come with a hard impact. Room spinning, vision blurring in and out, Riku dropped his cup spilling it all over himself. Quickly he grabbed his head with both hands trying to slow down the spinning, but it got faster and faster, until everything went black.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Riku open his eyes to find a pair of hazel ones.


"Are you alright, son?"


"I guess so. ."


"I got kind of worried there. I was talking to you and the next thing I knew, you passed out. You stayed passed out for 4 days."


"4 days?"


"Uh huh. Good thing I was here to nurse you back to health." Tristy gave him a faint smile. He stared at her telling that he was sorry about the cup, but she stopped him, by pressing a fore finger on to his lips shushing him.


"It's quite alright. No need to apologize." She said taking her finger away from his pale lips.


"Maybe you should take a walk for awhile. Laying down all the time will tire you out. I'm sure you don't want your nicely tone muscles to go away, do you?" Riku blushed at that comment. She chuckled under her breath softly, returning a reassuring at him. Leaving the room, she returned with his clean clothing handed them to him.


"I had to patch some things on your shirt. Strange cloth. Very hard to find, but I manage to fix it just fine."


"Thank you."


"You're welcome, dear." She started to walk out the room so Riku can get changed, but he called out her name.


"What is it?"


"Why are you being so nice to me? If the others like you said are going to treat me rough." Tristy put her hands to her hips and tilted her head slightly to the side.


"That is the way I am. Just because you look like a dead person, don't mean you're exactly like him. People shouldn't judge people by the way they look, especially you."


"If you would have known my background, I'm sure you wouldn't be saying that."


"Oh. .I'm sure you're nothing like that demon Sephiroth."


"Sephiroth?"


"Yeah, that's who you look like. I tell you, if Sephiroth had a son, it would look like you." She closed the door behind her, leaving Riku straying into his thoughts.


//Sephiroth. . .who is he?. . . . . come to think of it, I don't look like my parents. . . .Sora always used have question me about that. . .I didn't say anything. . .I gotta found out more about this Sephiroth, who he is and why I look like him. That's what I'm doing today while I'm walking. Go and find info on Sephiroth.//


He put on his clothes and left on his for his walk to get information on the Ex-general.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


In Wutai, Cloud took his regular routine walk when he ran into Yuffie.


"Hey, what's up?"


"Trouble, that's what."


"What do you mean?"


"It appears that somebody has been following us."


"Who?"


"Do you remember when our world got separated, and you gave your heart into darkness?"


"Yuffie, why are you bring up that subject? I told you to never to bring it up."


"I know, I know! But from what I heard, in Rocket Town, there is a boy that look like, well you know. Him."


"Sephiroth?"


"Uh huh! And do you remember Hades telling you that a new person join the side of darkness, with silver hair, and piercing green-blue eyes?"


"How do you know this?"


"You told me. Anyway, do you think he's a threat?"


"No, not really. I don't think."


"Why you say that?"


"Because I don't think he works with evil side now. That's gone and over with."


"Are you sure?"


"Yes."


"Alright. But don't expect me to come for you when he starts to get all blastic and starts to destroy things. I don't want to fight another battle like Sephiroth. That was terrible."


"Yuffie, how do you know if this is true or not if he's really here?"


"Because I know."


". . . . ." Cloud walked passed Yuffie thinking and hoping that she wasn't right.


//If he is here, why is he here and what for? I wonder?. . . .Sephiroth. . . . you left so many questions unanswered. . . even when our world got destroyed, I was looking for you and Areith. . .that's why I gave my heart to darkness so easily. I found Areith, but not you. . . //


Cloud stopped in his tracks and looked up at the sky.


//I hope Riku isn't here. . .//
