Chapter 2- Gravity of Love

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy, the characters or the story.

I do own Kate (Kat) Amuro, Ally Hikari, Location names, and the extra Organization members, along with this plot.

The day after the incident with Dhaxc, Kat and Ally started high school at Cali High, a practical name for one of the biggest schools in California. They met some people, signed up for clubs, and received a lot of homework. They both agreed on one thing, even if Kat didn't say it, school took their minds off of the strange things happening to them.

Until the strange things…came to school.

Ally POV:

Yawn Well…school was going okay…but then Kat kept asking everyone if they saw some dude…I don't get her lately but, whatever! If there was something going on, she would tell me, no doubt! Hee-hee-hee! goofy smile And plus… if I'm worried about little things all the time, I won't be able to focus on my sword fighting!

Narrator again

Kat ran faster than she imagined she ever could. She took a minute to catch her breath and think to herself. 'This school is huge! I have to find room-' she took a look at her slip of paper, '541? But it just said 320-somethin! Does this place even have 500 rooms?'

After looking up in disbelief, she realized no one was there. There wasn't a sound to be heard or a person to be found anywhere. She turned around feverishly and nothing changed. Except this time she heard a sound.

still in great danger

The sound of her dreams replaying themselves, although she couldn't see them. She crumpled into a ball, holding herself and trying to make it go away. She started to scream, causing a scene that would make a helpless baby look less pitiful.

Xehanort's memories

Black mist appeared and the roaring noise of blood splattering across a slick blade went away and was replaced with footsteps that came to a stop in front of her.

She looked up to see a cloaked but welcoming face with silver hair and a blindfold tied around his forehead.

"Riku! You came!"

He helped her up but kept a solemn face.

"Riku…what's the matter?

"I-I…was sent here for a reason. I had an important order…"

"Well now! What was it?" she quickly caught herself before making one of Ally's crazy expressions.

"I'm not gonna go through with it but-"

"Spit it out already!"

"It was t-to umm... kill you…" saying the last part in a whisper only loud enough for her to hear.

Kat backed away slowly and let her back to the wall.

"And this was an 'important' order? Meaning…you have to…go along with it?"

"Don't look at me like that! C'mon! Like I would lay a finger on you!"

Kat let out a short sigh of relief but only to flick her now flaring eyes at the young denizen of darkness.

"How could you let the darkness take over you! You would never be in this mess if you just… If you would've-" She began to crunch her shoulders inward as she held her face in her hands.

"I did what I had to. You know me, or at least I hope you do. It's not like I knew you too well!" He crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Ha. What do you mean? You never told me you were a keyblade master!"

"It's not like I knew! But please tell me something. Why me? I mean…Ally should be one! She's always training non-stop and she's been having dreams before me and then she-"

"You forgot one thing. Look at Sora and Me! I was the chosen one and when I gave up my heart to save Kairi, he became the true wielder. Eventually, I received a new keyblade…which was meant for the original keyblade master of death and destruction. Sora received the keyblade meant for light and prosperity. The way things look now, I would say you two are going through something similar."

Kat was now wide-eyed and holding herself, and while noticing this, she looked downward replying, "Let's hope I'm not alone in this…"

Riku walked over to the distraught girl and put his hand on her shoulder.

"As long as I'm alive and working undercover, everything will be fine. I won't let anything happen to you or Ally or anyone else important to you, 'kay?"

Kat looked up with a smile that Riku secretly came here for. He had missed her since he was working with the Organization. He could tell her now…he could tell her that he-

"Hey, you should get going. Y'know, before they catch onto you messing around with the supposed dead girl! Tee-hee!"

Riku frowned and turned just in time before the words he so needed to say blurted out. He quickly turned this awkward situation around, however.

"Hey, I'll see you soon, right?"

"Umm...yeah. Sure thing, Riku. But come at bad times more often, promise?"

Riku looked over his shoulder just enough to get his long hair out of his eyes' way.

"Yeah, promise!"

A dark portal then immersed. "Don't get too over the top while I'm away!"

And he was gone.

Kat smiled a sad and disappointed smile while the portal evaporated into thin air.

Sad? Disappointed?...but why?

She can't like him…he's two years older, he's got too much on his plate, he just lost his first love to his best friend, he's now getting orders to kill her…and it's not like he'd like someone as pathetic as her…

She can't like him…but she can't help that she…

Loves him.
