I own nothing.

To Girl:

Haha actually, the TWEWY/KH crossover that I was talking about isn't this one. xD there's actually another set of stories (2 main, 3 side, and 1 crack) that involves the TWEWY/KH, but it isn't an outright crossover actually. Leaning towards more of a KH fanfic with cameos of the TWEWY characters… it'll make sense whenever I get around to finishing/posting it.

Chapter 3: Righting Wrongs

Privately, Joshua wonders if this was the universe's way of retribution.

It probably was.

It had been eons ago, even by Shibuya's accelerated sense of time, when Joshua had first arrived to this world. No one but Sanae will ever know exactly how screwed up he really was back then.

It was an understatement to say his previous life was a mess.

Back then he had been pushed to the very brink of insanity. There were a few times when he was sure that he had fallen over it. All he could remember was pain, bloodlust and a desire to kill over and over again. Then suddenly clarity had shown like a beacon through the haze.

Joshua never considered himself to be evil, no matter how much his moral compass never pointed true north. His parents raised him right. After all he does have morals, no matter how much Neku will disagree. When they died, well he preferred not to continue with that line of thought. He knows plain well that most of deeds that he had done were influence by evil but it doesn't mean he wasn't at fault. It was his own damn curiosity after all. While he can kill, doesn't mean he likes it, or at least not anymore. (It hurt to kill Neku no matter how much of a necessity it was).

Over the years though, the insanity disappeared and with Sanae's help he had mostly remove whatever influences that evil from his previous life had cause. It had been so long since than, he came to accept his new life, his quite snarky but polite attitude and life in general. He managed to forget the past.

That was until Neku enter his life. Personally, Joshua blamed those blue eyes.

Damn. Blue. Eyes.

Fate was mocking him. Joshua can recall two other boys in his life with those same blue eyes. Neku was the perfect blend of the two. He had the cold anti-social sharp mind personality of the black haired one and the unwavering determination, unmatched imagination and love for his friends as the blond one. He supposed it was only fitting. The black hair one stirred an interest in him and ultimately gave him his only wish while the blond hair one taught him how to be human again. Of course it would be another blue eyed boy that would be sent to him to remain him that he was about to do something stupid... again.

Not only that, their hearts was always out of his reach again. The black haired one rejected his original gift and honestly the blond one was never his in the first place. From the very moment the blond entered the world to his victory over Joshua, the blond always belonged to another set of friends, having long given his heart to the Snow Princess. Joshua was determined to make Neku his this time around, even if it meant asking Minato for help. He was not going to let another one slip away from him.

Alviss. Ginta.

It did not matter how long it would take or how much heartbreak, suffering and begging he would have to do. This time Phantom was determined to do it right.

Since it is not as widely popular (in my opinion), Phantom comes from the series MAR (Märchen Awakens Romance).

With the recent of chapters of Bleach, I wanted to originally change Joshua to Gin… but while Gin's personality fits more, Phantom's backstory makes more sense here. (And for this story, backstory is everything). Ah well, maybe there will be a bonus chapter later on.

R&R please. :D
