Kingdom Hearts

The Wandering Keyblade Master

Thanks to those that reviewed. I've decided to continue writing in the text everyone seems to like best. And for those of you who haven't guessed it already, the world Zero, Yuffie, and Amara are in is the game 'The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Not many fanfics I've read have Zelda worlds in them, and the few that do, they don't have Wind Waker in them, so I decided to try it out. In this chapter, Yuffie starts to realize she has developed feelings for Zero, hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, Squaresoft, Disney, Final Fantasy, etc. All original ideas belong to me, those who want to use any of my characters must ask permission first, and probably will get it.

Chapter 7: Regroup

Link trudged through the Forest of Fairies, cutting down anything in his path. Just 20 minutes ago, Link learned of his Grandma's condition, and went off in search of a few fairies to help heal her and that strange girl's, Amara, brother. After hacking down several more scrubs and a few large moth monsters called 'Mothula', he finally reached the giant boulder that covered the fairy fountain. He quickly took a small bomb from his bag, lit the fuse, set it at the foot of the boulder, and ran away as the bomb exploded, leaving the entrance wide open for anyone to use. He jumps down the hole and runs up to the fairy fountain. While in there, he meets the Great Fairy who not only heals his wounds and restores his strength, he also gets a rupee bag (money bag) that can carry 1000 rupees! After a short fair well, smaller fairies come out to greet him. Link catches two of them in two separate bottles. Running with glee, like the boy he is, at his success, he makes it back to his home within 5 minutes.

"Amara? Are you awake?" Link call's softly as he enters the house.

"Yeah, I'm awake. Do you have the fairy?" Amara askes.

"Yes, two of them. I got an extra one for your brother, since he is hurt too. That way, we both can get what we want." Link replies. Amara's eyes light up.

"Really? Oh Link, thank you so much! I didn't even think of doing that! I owe you one!" Amara answered.

"Catch!" Link tosses a bottle, which Amara catches with ease. "You go and heal your brother. I've got to help my grandmother." Link then walks over to his grandmother's side, where he takes the cork off the bottle, and let's the fairy heal his grandma. She stirs for a moment, before opening her eyes and seeing Link right next to her. She reaches out and at first just touches him, seeing if he was real or not. Then when she knew he was heal, she pulls him into a hug, which he full heartedly excepts and returns.

"Oh Link, you're back! Oh I've been so worried about you! I have to apologize Link, here you and Aryll are, trying to be brave while I sit here and waste away with worry and grief. I really should try to be brave like the two of you. Judging by the grim look on your face, I'd guess you still haven't rescued Aryll yet, have you?" Link nodded. "I thought so, I know you will stop at nothing to save her, but at least allow me the comfort of having you stay with me for just one night, ok?" Grandma asked.

"Well, I suppose I could, that is, if that's your Elixer Soup I smell?" Link asked, sniffing the air.

"(Laugh) Of course it is, and it's just about ready too! Go fetch Amara and Zero, there's plenty of soup to go around." Grandma said. But before Link had even turned around, Amara, supporting Zero on one shoulder, walked over and pulled up some chairs, bowls at the ready. Link and his Grandma laughed at their enthusiasm, and Grandma filled all of their bowls up with soup.

"Damn, what I wouldn't give for a bowl of soup right now." Yuffie said to no one in particular. She was lying, or rather tied down on a bed, in some form of holding cell. 'Why did those idiots tie me up, anyways? It's not like I can move as is, much less attempt an escape. (Sigh) I wish Zero was here, he'd get us out of this easily enough… Unless he's… (She starts tearing up) NO! He can't have died! …Wait a second, why am I all torn up about him. We're just friends, barely knew each other for a month, it's not like I like him that way or anything like that. Are you so sure? (Groan) Not you again. Please just go away. I think you're hurting more inside for him, rather than your physical injuries. I'm not listening to you. You really do like him that way. LALALALALALA. Knock it off! You're just giving us both a head ach. You shut up first, then I will…… I must be going insane, arguing with myself like this. Not really. I'm just your subconscious, pointing out things that you fail to realize on your own and fur- LALALALALALAL- Alright already, I give, I give! Score: Yuffie 1 Subconscious 0. Seriously though, you have developed some feelings for Zero. I'll let you think about it on your own now.' Yuffie moaned out loud from the headache she gave herself. Add that on top of her 2 broken ribs, her broken back, and some cuts and bruises along her arms and legs, you get one tired out ninja. 'I still wish I had something to fill my stomach with.' It was at that moment that a big, green warthog-like creature opened her cell's door, walked into a corner, grabbed a large barrel of rum, and took it with him down the hall, after relocking the cell's door of course. Yuffie started crying.

"Lets see if I got this straight." Cloud started. "Zero's once dead sister, came back to life and teleported herself, Yuffie, and Zero to another world to heal in peace, Yuffie is in a fortress full of demons and a weakened king of some dark realm, Zero and Amara are resting peacefully in some safe village, all the while Maleficent is fighting evil swamp monsters. Is that about right?"

/ More or less, yeah. Don't worry, though. I'm going to head over there and tell Zero where Yuffie is, he'll rescue her in a jiffy, with his sister's help. Oh, by the way, Amara is a Keyblade Master, as is Zero. Zero's Keyblade affects each world's barriers, while Amara's Keyblade gives life to those that deserve it. On another note, I'll send my regards to the gang over there for ya. I'll keep you posted as best I can. We'll meet again. \ With that stated, Silver raised his wand into the air. It emitted a quick but bright flash of light, that when cleared showed Silver was gone. Silence filled the room for a while.

" Well… I'm going to sleep on this. Then it's off to Halloween Town for me. Night all." Sora says as he walks out the door.
