Prologue
Falling.
Falling into nothing...
It was dark, but not overly so. No direction, nothing.
Brown eyes emerged from fluttering eyelids and lashes.
Looking around, they saw nothing.
I've been dreaming alot of weird things, lately...
It's like I...don't know if it's real or not anymore.
You're giving me too many things lately
You're all I need
You smiled at me and said
Don't get me wrong, I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
A bright light, blinding, hands went up to cover their eyes until it cleared, revealing a world around them. Trees, grass, figures about them, the world passing a mile a minute. His eyes landed on two figures, eyes lighting up with recognition.
They turned towards him, and they were suddenly all up ontop of a high platform. It started to shake, crumble, beginning to collapse. Eyes widened in fear, and shock. He started running towards the two, desperate to escape the shattering ground behind him.
He jumped as the ground gave under him. His hands caught the edge of the platform and he hung there, looking up with frightened brown eyes. Two hands came into sight and he looked up, the two figures were leaning down, holding their hands out to him. Small voices whispering, almost inaudible to him.

choose now!

you can't stay forever
choose!
When we are older you will understand
What I meant when I said
No I don't think life is quite that simple
Aqua hair slightly waved with the light breeze, a small smile appearing on their face. Dual hair of white and black was flicked aside as the other frowned annoyedly. Brown hair blew aside and those brown eyes looked up pleadingly. He couldn't choose, he just needed help.
too late!
choose now!
A soft gasp sounded as their hands slipped, body beginning to fall. Down, down, past the buildings, past everything, beyond the ground, into darkness. Figures appeared as he fell. People he knew, some he didn't.
Enemies.
Friends.
It did not matter who he past. He was falling, and it seemed like forever.
When you walk away you don't hear me say
Please oh baby don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
His eyes snapped open and he found himself standing in an unfamiliar place. He looked up and saw a flash of blue, green eyes sparkling and a teasing grin before it was gone. He ran after it, not caring about anything he past, he had to catch them. He past places he didn't recognize, things he didn't care about - it was irrelevant. A small laugh and a look to the right, a blur of yellow and blue and he was running again in that direction.
Brown hair blew back, blue headband hardly staying in place, orange vest, unzipped, was blowing back as he ran, hard, fast, trying to catch the figure. Jumping, he tackled the figure, only to pass right through and began to fall again.

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning is a little later one
Regardless or warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
"Netto-kun!"
The figure snapped out of their trance and looked down at his PET. "Huh? What is it, Rockman?" He asked. "I've been trying to call you for several minutes, but you were just...out of it." The Navi informed. "I'm sorry," He apologized. "I really don't know what it was I was thinking." Rock stared at him. "It must have been something interesting to hold your attention like that." He said Netto shrugged lightly, beginning to walk from where he was, which was in the park.
It was dusk, and the sun had just gone down, and the stars were starting to come out. "Pretty nice view, huh, Rock?" He asked. The Navi smiled, nodding. "It is." He agreed. The Navi squinted for a moment. "What's that?" He asked, pointing upwards to a small dot in the air. The boy put his hand up to shield his eyes as he looked up at it. "Dunno." He said when he saw it.
"Netto!"
He turned to see Enzan walking toward him.
"Hikari."
Turning his head in the opposite direction, he saw Laika a few feet away.
"Hey guys." He greeted. "What are you doing out here?" Enzan shrugged. "Got back from my mission early, I was on my way home." He said. Arching a brow, he looked over at Laika. "Transferred." Was all he said. Netto nodded. All the while, Rock had been watching the tiny dot, which had gotten much bigger and was now much closer. "Netto-kun..." He said a little shakily. "What is it?" He asked, looking down. The Navi merely pointed. The three of them looked up and saw the thing that was falling.
"What is that?" Enzan asked. "How should I know?" Laika retorted. "It looks like a person kind of..." Netto said. The two looked at the boy, who merely shrugged. It got closer, and closer. It seemed like a long time, which was only five seconds, did it come into full view. Netto's eyes widened. Brown hair, orange vest, and black shorts whipping around as they fell. Eyes opened lightly to reveal nearly lifeless brown eyes. With a gasp, Netto stumbled back. And suddenly, the ground just seemed to open and he fell in, right as the figure hit him, and it faded.

"Netto!" Laika and Enzan cried out as they watched their friend fall, it was all in slow motion, and no matter what they tried, they moved so slow. And Netto fell backwards, hands reaching out to them and watching as the air/ground/sky above him just seemed to ripple like water, and his two friends faded from sight. Turning his head, he saw another figure falling right next to him. Brown hair, green vest, black shorts, green shoes. Their eyes were closed.
Green eyes opened, from underneath fluttering eyelids and lashes, meeting brown eyes and matching face.
"Saito nii-san." "Netto-kun."
The words ran together at the same time. They were falling, down, into darkness once again. But this time, Netto was not alone.
They both landed on something. It was dark all around. Shadows and whispers were everywhere around them. A small flash, and another figure appeared. Brown hair with dark streaks. Black vest, black shorts, and black shoes. Dark red eyes glinting in malice as they gazed upon the two. Netto took a few steps back in surprise, and suddenly dark tendrils sprang up, beginning to snake and wind their way up his body, beginning to bind and drag him down into the pool of shadows.
Smirking, the darkness waved a hand, the darkness obeying and beginning to swallow the other.
A blinding flash, and the darkness began to recede. Instead, blue and yellow coils began to cover Netto, the other body fading from sight. Blue and yellow tendrils melted together, forming themselves onto the body, covering him in a protective armor.

Brown eyes opened and stared at the darkness. Scowling in hatred, the figure morphed into a similar state, black armor appearing in an exact copy of the other's. With a wave of the hand, darkness from everywhere began to attack the light figure. Bright light shone down, and a light aura appeared around Netto, warding and repelling the darkness that tried to taint him.
'Darkness cannot exist without light. Begone!'
There was another flash and the darkness was gone, leaving only the dark figure. With a hiss, the dark figure rose up, a dark aura appearing and a long black sword made out of the same aura appeared in his hand. Likewise, a white sword found itself in Netto's hand. Without any warning, the two leaped for eachother, swords swinging to connect together in a stand off, neither side moving. Then suddenly...
The dark being was pushed back, sent stumbling and the light took the moment to strike, lunging and stabbing their sword directly through the other. Stumbling more, there was no sound except long hisses, until the figure began to fade, turning into darkness, until the aura remained and floated back to the light figure, and it engulfed them, and faded.

The light faded and the armor faded, and the other figure re-appeared, smiling. The place faded and they were falling again. Not into darkness, however. But into an impending gray. No words were said, and they began fading.
"We'll go together..."
Owari (or is it TBC?)
DHC: I wrote this a long while back when my computer broke down and was using my uncle's. If everyone likes this, I may post up thefirst chapter. I am currently working on the second one. Yes, it is a KH crossover in a way. It also kind of acts like KH in the beginning, but it trails off into it's own thing, so I'm not copying it. I also have a snippet somewhere I did before I wrote this that inspired me. If you want to read that as well, feel free to email/review asking me for it. Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this and will review, since I personally think it's a piece of crap. Unlike my FFxEXE crossover I'm working on...XD So with that said, I'll be off! Laters everyone!
