Heart of the warrior
A Kingdom hearts fanfiction
By Diane Kelley
The woman looked up as the darkness swallowed her apartment building, abject terror etched on her fine-boned face as it tore her away from her family, her five year old daughter and three year old son screaming "Mommy!" as it slowly enveloped her, then her husband and children shortly after.
Diane shook the fuzziness out of her head as she woke up in strange yet somehow familiar surroundings, her red waves bouncing a bit. Above her was a handsome face, with clear blue eyes peering down at her, the man's ever-present smile glued to his face.
"Hello, Hercules. . . "She said drolly. "And don't ask how I know who you are, I'm from Earth . . . we have so many legends I could probably repeat the entire Olympian pantheon in exact order."
The young demi-god shook his head slowly at the Earth-woman who had suddenly landed herself in his home. 'The Heartless found your world as well. They are spreading even faster than Father feared." Then, he shook his head, and stated the obvious. "You seem rather upset, ma'am."
"It's Diane, and I'm beyond upset. I'm pissed as Hell! I lost my home, my family, Hell, my entire damn world! And because of a problem some idiot around here who couldn't contain his curiosity enough to keep his fucking hands to himself caused! I'd think you'd be pretty upset, too, if they ripped through YOUR home."
She snorted, then caught a flash of black leather from the corner of her eye, and cocked a thumb in that direction. "So, Nut head is here, too, I see."
A deep voice echoed from the darkened corner of the stadium. "Yes, 'Nut head', as you so eloquently said, is here, as well." A pair of large, slanted cat-like eyes glowing an eerie green pinned her from the shadows, then she looked up to see the slender yet strong form of the silver-haired former General as he stepped into the full light. He smirked at her "You have a problem with that?"
"None at all, just remind me not to fall in love with you. . .the last person who did ended up dead."
An answering smirk tipped the right corner of her mouth up slightly, then it raised her eyebrow up as emphasis. She wanted him to believe she was not a bit afraid of him, when in truth she was shaking inside like a leaf. "Not like that is a possibility. . .My main goal is to find Mike and my kids and get the Hell outta this shithole."
Sephiroth quirked a slight grin at the woman who looked up at him with her gem-like blue eyes full of fire, not even a trace of fear in her countenance, though he knew she was likely terrified. "I'd like to get out of this shithole, too, but that's not an option for me." With that, he brushed a wayward lock of gleaming hair out of his face, turned, and strode off.
Diane turned back to Herc, muttering something about "Rude frickin' nutters" as she watched him stalk off over her shoulder.
