Author's Note: I do not own Kingdom Hearts (be cool if I did) Disney/Square-Enix please don't kill me. This fan fiction attempts to use available KH2 material. There is one original character: Aleck. He is sort of copyright to me(He's Riku's evil twin so he doesn't look very original except in my manga in which he has brown hair and green eyes rather than silver hair and blue/yellow eyes). I tried to make the usage of KH info as coherent as possible. This contains an implied/lightly written male/male relation. Look! One of my fan fictions are in novel format for once!
Character Identification:
Blindfolded Unknown: Aleck
Enigmatic Man: Still the enigmatic man…
Blonde haired kid: blonde haired kid/the mute
Red Haired Unknown: Axel
Glowing Eyed Unknown: "Sora-boy" as dubbed by Axel
Red coat unknown: Ansem
Aleck took a walk in Hollow Bastion. Something seemed off.
"Hey!" a man grabbed Aleck.
"Wha'd I do?" Aleck demanded.
"Why are you wearing a Heartless Symbol?" the man demanded back. He looked at Aleck urgently with his deep blue eyes. Aleck stared back with his blue eyes, wondering what the big problem was. It was rather strange. There were more people in Hollow Bastion these days.
"Cloud, what do you think the kid is up to?" a woman asked. The man looked at her. Aleck stared.
"Aren't the Heartless supposed to be gone now?" Cloud asked.
"The Heartless are gone?!" Aleck screeched.
"Didn't a kid named Sora come by here recently?" Cloud asked, "Brown spiky hair, blue eyes, and accompanied by a dog in a hat and a duck in a sailor suit…"
"Where's Ansem?" Aleck demanded.
"We heard he disappeared," Cloud replied.
"I'm gonna kill Sora!" Aleck shouted, "Where is he?!"
"I don't know and I wouldn't tell you if you plan to kill him!" Cloud shouted in reply.
"Just brilliant!" Aleck stomped off to go pack.
"Shouldn't we stop the boy?" the woman asked.
"…He's too deluded, but I suppose we could try," Cloud replied. He ran off after Aleck.
"Ansem's never late! I should've suspected something was wrong!" Aleck groaned as he packed. Looking at the man's reaction to him, Aleck guessed he should change his clothes, but his home was devoid of normal clothes aside from pajamas. Even Aleck's bag had a Heartless insignia on it. Aleck tossed items into his bag. The door slammed open. Aleck's head jerked up. He stared at Cloud in the doorway for a moment of awkward silence.
"You're going after him…" Cloud said. Aleck pulled out his sword.
"Don't try and stop me!" Aleck shouted.
"What's your relation to Ansem?" Cloud asked. His sword could reach Aleck faster, so there wasn't particular worry. The boy couldn't go that fast.
"What would you care?" Aleck demanded.
"You seem rather attached to him," Cloud replied.
"Are you trying to imply…" Aleck trailed off.
"NO!" Cloud blurted.
"Good," Aleck shoved past Cloud with a giant sack of items, mumbling quietly, "even if it is true…"
"Why are you helping the side of darkness?" Cloud asked, "It is evil."
"No! It isn't!" Aleck shouted. Cloud was taken aback.
"So you don't have a problem with killing and destroying?!" Cloud demanded.
"True evil is only when one does what one thinks is evil," Aleck replied, "What you think is not my concern."
"Nothing I say will stop you?" Cloud asked, certain the answer would be that he was powerless to stop the deluded boy.
"Of course," Aleck snickered.
"Actions speak louder than words," Cloud said quietly.
"Kill me then…" Aleck sneered, "Gonna sit well, knowing you killed a young boy?"
Aleck left the silenced Cloud to begin his search.
