Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, Square Enix does. It's a damn shame... I wanna own Riku!!
Riku: -_-;;

Riku: I'm not owned by anyone.
Glor: You are too owned; Square Enix owns you. *shows Riku the copyright papers that Square Enix has for Riku*
Riku: *leaves*
Glor: Hey! Come back here! *runs after him*
Ghost Girl: What bakara...
Riku & Glor: I'm not stupid!!
Ghost Girl: *mutters* Coulda fooled me...

After the keyhole was closed Riku put away his Keyblade and walked away from the others without a word. Sora noticed, "Riku? Did something happen when we split up?"
Riku turned to face Sora, "He's alive," is all that Riku said.
"Huh? Who's alive?" Sora asked.
"Some hooded guy destroyed these Heartless that were attacking us with one wave his hand. When he took of the hood he had long silver hair, tan skin, and gold eyes..." Amaya said behind Sora, "And then he attacked me when I tried to thank him... I think he said his name was Ansem..."
Everyone's eyes widened in shock except for Leiko, "What's the big fucking deal?"
Kairi turned to her elder sister, "Leiko, Ansem is the creator of the Heartless and we all thought Sora had destroyed him,"
"Hmph, it's just one more enemy to kill..." Leiko muttered with her arms crossed.

Aerith's P.O.V.
Silence.
We had started walking to the main entrence to see off Sora and the others. As we walk I begin to feel faint. 'It's nothing,' I tell myself but soon I stop walking and collapse. I heard my friends call my name but I soon fell into unconciousness.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
I'm alone, "What happened...?" I say aloud.
My voice echoes around me and hear footsteps behind me. I turn to see a figure emerging from the shadows. My eyes widen to see Sephiroth emerge. He walks towards me but it's as if he doesn't see me. I can't move; the mere sight of seeing him alive freezes me in place. He keeps walking and he passes right through me.
It's like I'm not real.
I turn around to see Cloud and...me?! How can that be? I'm standing right here so how am I there? Maybe this is a premonition of things to come. I watch the scene. Cloud was holding me and leaned into a kiss. He hadn't noticed Sephiroth coming. Sephiroth had unsheathed his Masasune.
"Cloud! Watch out!" I yell out but he can't hear me.
"Goodbye, Cloud Strife," Sephiroth said as he stabbed his weapon right through Cloud and my stomachs.
I wince and look down to see I am bleeding profusely, like the sword had gone through me. I fall to my knees and grasp my stomach in pain. Suddenly there's a white light and I'm surrounded by it. The pain is gone, so is Sephiroth. I look up to see myself, but this time it seemed as my presence was known.
"Aerith, I've sent you this premonition to stop Sephiroth from killing Cloud... We are fated to be apart from him... If you stay away from him for now he shall be alive in your future..." she said.
I blink, "You mean his death will be prevented?" I ask my future self.
She nods, "Yes... Please, separate from him now while you have time... And tell him to protect the elder princess or this premonition will become a realty," my other self said as she began to fade away.
"You mean, Leiko? Wait!" I yell in vain as I begin to regain consciousness.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Normal P.O.V
"Aerith... Aerith, wake up, please," Cloud begged as he gently shook Aerith.
Aerith moaned, opening her eyes slowly, "Cloud?" she whipered.
"Yeah, it's me Aerith... Are you ok?"
Aerith shook her head, 'Was that all true...?' Aerith asked herself and then pushed away from Cloud, 'It's too horrible. I can't take the chance that it's not true...'
"Aerith...?"
"I'm ok, Cloud," she smiled as she got up, "Don't worry about me,"
Cloud gave her a questioning looking, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, Cloud,"
"Aerith, you had us all worried," Yuffie spoke up, "What happened?"
"Nothing, I was just a little faint... I should have spoke up earlier," Aerith lied.
"Alright..." Yuffie said doubtfully as the group walked on.
~*~*~*~*~*~
(IMPORTANT A/N: Sorry, but I forgot to mention; overlook that FFVII & FFVIII characters in Kingdom Hearts said that Hollow Bastion was their childhood home. I want the group to go to FFVII & FFVIII worlds but it would get a lil complicated if they're not from those worlds. And in Kingdom Hearts there are hints that say Kairi is from Hollow Bastion. Overlook that too for this fic. And only Hollow Bastion and Traverse Town were unlocked. And Selphie, Tidus, and Wakka never were on Destiny Island. Sorry if that that confuses you. Also FFVII world will be called Midgar and FFVIII world will be called Garden.)
Amaya's P.O.V.
Grrr... This silence is so annoying! Someone! Anyone! Say something! I wouldn't even mind Riku or Vincent starting a conversation! 'Finally' I thought as we reached my gummi ship, "If you guys want, you can come with us to other worlds, this world is safe now,"
I turned to the others, waiting for an answer. After a minute or so, Leon spoke up, "I'm coming," he said as walked into my gummi ship.
He looked like he was deep in thought, like something was nagging him in the back of his mind. I shook the thought away, "Anyone else?"
~*~*~*~*~*~
Normal P.O.V.
"Hey, if we go, can we visit our worlds...?" Yuffie asked Amaya.
"Sure, we have to make sure your friends are ok, right?" Amaya answered with a smile, "Plus I wanna meet the other people of AVALANCHE that Vincent told me about!"
"I'm going then! Cloud you comin'?" Yuffie said as she ran to the gummi ship.
Aerith nudged Cloud and whispered to him, "Go,"
"Aren't you coming?" he asked whispered.
Aerith casted her eyes down, "No... I can't with you... Please go... Keep Sora and the others safe..." she whispered as she walked back towards the castle with a lone tear streaming down her face.
"Hey, sorry little queen, but it seems that Aerith won't be joining this trip so someone has to stay and keep her safe since Cloud is going with you," Vincent said as he followed Aerith back to the castle.
"I'm not little! I'm 15, so stop treating me like a child!" Amaya yelled as Vincent walked away wearing a small smirk, "Hmph," Amaya crossed her arms, pouting.
"You are acting childish," Riku said as he passed by Amaya on his way to the gummi ship.
Amaya turned and glared at Riku's retreating figure, 'I'm not childish... Am I?'
Leiko boarded the gummi ship nonchalantly as Sora and Cid followed; Kairi stayed behind, "Amaya? Riku didn't mean it... He was just...taking a cheap shot because he's mad about Ansem being alive... He has all right too be mad but he had no right to say that. I'm going to tell him that," Kairi said as she began to walk into the gummi ship.
"No, he was right... I am acting childish... I should be acting more responsible..." Amaya smiled, "Don't worry, I'm fine,"
"Ok..." Kairi hesitated as she entered the gummi ship.
Amaya sighed inwardly, 'Everything will be fine... I just have to act more mature...'
~*~*~*~*~*~
Squall A.K.A. Leon's P.O.V.
'Rinoa... I haven't thought of her in so long... I've been preoccupied by the Heartless and I didn't even think if she was safe... What's wrong with me...? ...Rinoa, I want hear your voice again...'
"Amaya," I say in a strong voice as we prepare to leave Hallow Bastion.
Amaya turned to me, "Hm?"
"If possible, can you set a course for Garden?"
"Sure," she answered as she turned to the pilot, "You heard him, Clara, set a course for Garden!"
"Ok,"
"Hey, Squall,"
I turn to Yuffie, "It's Leon..." I say stubbornly, 'Not that it matters...'
Yuffie gives an exasperated sigh, "Ok, 'Leon', is Garden your home?"
"Yeah,"
"Do you have anyone there you searching for you?" she asked.
'Yeah, probably all of Balamb Garden is wondering where "the commander" went...' I thought, "Probably,"
Yuffie shook her head, "Why don't you say anything that's more then two words!? It's annoying,"
A smile almost creeps onto my face, almost, "Whatever,"
"Ugh! You're like talking to a wall!" Yuffie said as she walked over to talk to Cid.
I shake my head, 'Even if I had answered, she wouldn't have understood,' I sigh inwardly, 'Rinoa... I'm coming...'
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
"I'll be here..."
"Why...?"
"I'll be 'waiting'...here..."
"For what?"
"I'll be waiting...for you...so... If you come here... You'll find me. I promise."
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
"Squall!" the girl yelled out as she woke up drenched in a cold sweat in a flower field.
The girl buried her head in her hands a sobbed, 'Just another dream... He said he'd be here... He 'promised'!' she thought bitterly.
"Rinoa,"
"Go away, Seifer... I wanna be alone..." Rinoa muttered.
"You can't keep waiting for puberty boy. You gotta face the reality he may not come back-"
"He will," Rinoa said strongly cutting off Seifer and she looked up, "And don't call him 'puberty boy', he has a name and it's Squall!"
Seifer sighed. Every since he had rejoined Garden, he could tell that Rinoa wasn't the same cheerful person she was when they shared that summer together, 'Squall, you better come back... Not only for your own good but Rinoa's too...'
~*~*~*~*~*~
Rinoa's P.O.V.
Seifer sighed and left me to sit alone in peace. Everyone must have been desperate to send Seifer to bring me inside... I sigh and start to drift off and on from sleep. Before I can drift completely into an uneasy slumber, I hear an engine. It sort of sounds like Ragnarok but, Ragnarok is parked behind me. I look behind to make sure and Ragnarok hadn't moved. 'So where is that sound coming from?'
All off a sudden the sound stops with a loud thud like someone had almost crash-landed. I shake my head, 'I must be hearing things now...'
Then I hear foot steps and the sound of a keychain, 'It must be Seifer again... I must look pathetic...'
"Seifer, I told you already, I'm staying here... Even if Squall doesn't come..." I said choking on my last sentence.
'No insults? No witty remarks?' I turn around expecting to see Seifer but what I see is...
"Squall!" I leap up and wrap my arms around his neck as tears stream down my neck.
He tensed for a second and then wrapped his arms around me, pulling me in close. I missed him so much, being in his arms. I was beginning to get scared that I'd forget how being in his arms feels.

Glor: Sorry for not updating... You know... School? That evil place? I got all honors classes...
Ghost Girl: How in Hell did that happen!?
Glor: *shrugs* Fluke?
Ghost Girl: MAJOR fluke!
Glor: *pouts* Not major fluke... I deserve some honors classes...
Ghost Girl: No you don't... You failed your Biology test! Only THREE people failed and you were one of 'em!
Glor: I never liked science... And I didn't study! If would have studied I would have gotten higher grade!
Ghost Girl: You never study!
Glor: Hmph! I never needed to!
Ghost Girl: Whatever... *goes back to Hell*
Glor: Good riddence... I might have to concentrate on studying Biology a lil more so I don't fail, so the next chappie might be a little delayed... Please review and tell me if there's anything in particular you wanna see in FFVIII world or any other worlds! And by the way, I might have Trigun, Rurouni Kenshin, and maybe Blue Gender... The last one depends if I can think of anything... If you got ideas, I'll gladly hear you out!
