Hikari gets a new friend. Also, I may be getting a job soon and that will seriously cut into my writing. However, with this and my future crossovers, I just need to revise them. But as for my currant stories, they may be put on hold. However, I'll just be going part time so we'll see.


Ven's Pov

Why were Terra and Aqua so worried about me? I could take care of myself. They didn't need to worry about me getting hurt. I couldn't help but feel our friendship was starting to die. I thought back to when our friendship first started to form.

Flashback

I had woken up a couple of weeks ago and have been hanging out with Terra and Aqua since. Right now, I was practicing with Terra. He was too good. He knocked me to ground.

"Giving up already? C'mon, Ven. I thought you were stronger than that." Terra mocked.

"Ven, you almost had him. Just try it again!" Aqua encouraged.

"Ven! Ven! Ven!" Hikari squealed.

"Hey wait, you're teaming up now?" Terra asked. I picked up my sword and tried again. After awhile, the four of us sat near a large, stone stairway. "Ven. You see all those dents and nicks you got?" Terra tells me. looked down at the wooden sword I used. There were a lot of dents and nicks in it.

"Each one of those is proof you're learning." Aqua said.

"You're trying too hard to move your body. You need to learn to let your body move you. Right?" Terra stood up and cleared his throat. "In your hand, take this key. So long as you have the makings, then through this simple act of taking... its wielder you shall one day be." Terra said.

"What's THAT about? Who went and made you Master?" Aqua asked laughed.

"Being a Keyblade Master is all I've dreamed about." Terra said.

"Well, you're not the only one." Aqua tells him.

"I know. You, me, Ven and eventually Hikari... all share the same dream." He said, holding out the wooden Keyblade he used. I smiled and gripped on to the wooden blade.


My Pov

We got Kairi's home. I sat in a small chair and Kairi's grandmother gave me some tea. She also set out some food for Lovie.

"Hikari, what do you know about your parents?" Why did she want to know about my parents?

"Nothing, really. Master Eraqus told me when I was only a few days old Aqua and Terra found me in the middle of the night, crying." I told her.

"I see..." She got up, picked a photo off the mantle and showed it to me. It was a picture of a beautiful young woman with the same hair and eye color as me. "That's my daughter, Shiro. She was also your mother." My heart came to a sudden halt. This woman... was my mommy? Wait, if this was my mommy and Kairi's grandmother was her mommy... that would mean Kairi's grandma was my grandma too!

"So, me and Kairi are related?" I asked. She nodded.

"Yes. Your mother and Kairi's father were my children. They were brother and sister." grandma explained. That means Kairi's my cousin.

"Wow! Hikari, isn't that great?" Kairi asked, excited. I simply nodded, still shocked with this news.

"You also have a sister Hikari, but I don't quite know what happened to her..." grandma muttered.

"I have a sister!?" I asked.

"Yes. Her name was Yami." grandma answered.

"What happened to her?" I asked.

"As I said, I don't know exactly." grandma said.

"What about my mommy?" I asked.

"Xehanort... took her away..." grandma said sadly. I knew 'took her away' was Grandma's soft way of saying that he killed her. That man, Xehanort, killed my mother. Tears started flowing down my cheeks. "Yes... Eraqus was so heartbroken when it happened."

"Master Eraqus knew my mommy?" I asked.

"I don't see why he wouldn't. After all, she was his wife."grandma said. There was a huge jolt in my heart. My mother was Master Eraqus's wife? But... that would mean he was my... It all made sense now. How he hardly wanted to be around me and how he couldn't look at me without becoming sad. Lovie pawed at my leg. I picked her up and hugged her.

"I can't believe this..." I said.

"Eraqus was going to tell you dear, but he wanted to wait until you were older." grandma said.

"I can understand. I'm not angry. Just... a little upset." I said.

"Don't worry dear. You're friend Aqua will come back and you'll be able to talk to Eraqus." grandma assured me.

"Grandma, is it okay if I go pick some flowers?" I asked.

"Alright, but stay close and don't talk to strangers." grandma warned. I waved as left the house.

"I won't." I said. I went to the Outer Gardens. I was so happy! I made two new friends and one of them was my cousin. But... what was I going to do when Aqua took me home? How could I face Master Eraqus now? I shook it off. I'll find a way somehow. I wanted to make a floral crown for Kairi, so I wanted to pick the right color and amount of flowers. Right when I was about to pick another flower, I felt something else. I looked and saw a green Pokémon.

"Mmmm!" the Pokémon said. It was a Caterpie.

"I there. Were you playing hide-and-seek?" I asked. It nodded. "Do you want to be part of my team?" It jumped up and down, indicating yes. I held out my hand and a Crystal Pokéball formed in my hand. I held it closer to Petilil. It lightly bumped into, opening it. It turned into a crystal form of herself before becoming a blue light and going into the ball. It closed, wiggled three time before the light on the center went out. The ball then vanished.

"So here you are." a horribly familiar voice said. I dropped the flowers I had in my hand. That voice... it belonged to... I turned and saw him Vanitas and his Umbreon. They started toward u. "You're not getting away this time." I grabbed Lovie and broke into a run. I had never run this fast before. I heard Vanitas's footsteps echoing mine. I turned the corner, only to run into a alley wall. Nice move moron! I turned and saw Vanitas and Umbreon coming toward us. "Nowhere to run." He grabbed my wrist and started pulling me toward a portal. I dropped Lovie and Umbreon started dragging her to the portal too.

"NO!" I screamed. I reached out my free hand to grab his hand, but somehow managed to touch his chest. At that moment, many images came flooding into my mind and a sharp pain pierced my chest. Vanitas let go of me and he slumped to the ground, groaning in pain. I fell to the ground and gripped the place where my heart was. What did I just feel and see?

"What you felt was my pain... and what you saw was my memories." Vanitas said, groaning in pain. What was causing him so much pain?

"What's causing you to hurt so much?" I asked.

"None of your business." Vanitas snapped. He tried to stand, but ended up doubling over in pain. Umbreon ran to him, worried.

"Breon..." Umbreon whimpered. Even if he was my enemy and even if he didn't want my help, I just couldn't let him suffer. I wrapped my arms around his waist. "What are you—" We became cloaked in a bright light for a few seconds. Lovie nuzzled Umbreon and a small light cloaked them briefly. The light faded, but I still clung tightly to Vanitas. I felt his hand press against my back. "Why?"

"Good or bad, you're still a person. I couldn't just let you suffer like that." I said letting go of him and stepping back. "I'll go back with you to the Keyblade Graveyard." He took off his helmet, revealing he had jet black hair and golden yellow eyes.

"Are you only complying because you pity me?" Vanitas asked. I shook my head.

"No. I just don't want to aggravate you anymore." I said.


Vanitas's Pov

What was with this kid? Before, she did everything to keep me from catching her and now she was going back with me willingly? I'd figure this out later. I grabbed her wrist and pulled her through the portal. Umbreon pushed her Eevee into the portal and it followed. The whole time, she clung to my hand and her Eevee stayed close to my Umbreon. Why had my pain ceased when she was near me? And what was this weird feeling I felt now? What had the girl done to me?


Just a note, the feeling Vanitas is feeling isn't love.
