Hello everyone! I've got a new potential story for ya! This one might be a bit lengthy but it will be a most awesome journey!
I love Kingdom Hearts! It's story is amazing broad and just...well...It's COOL! As I was replaying the games this story started to develop in my mind. This is a crossover story with multiple crossovers but the main crossover would be Dragonball Super as the story starts there with characters from DBSuper coming on the adventure. Thus, be expected to leave the DBS universe and enter other realms of existence (Grins).
Here we go guys! Off on another adventure!

Chapter 1: Home
With her brown hair and blue eyes, Hikari certainly was no Briefs but it was nonetheless her family surname. She had grown up as the adopted daughter of Tights Briefs, the elder sister of Bulma Briefs herself. Not that Hikari had ever truly met her adoptive mother, or what she could remember anyway. She had apparently been adopted into the family at a very young age, so young she couldn't remember the details. Ever since then she had been passed from family friend to another while her adoptive mother went who knew where. Hikari had become used to moving around so much that she had neglected to hold any connections towards anyone she met. What did it matter anyway? She would just be moved away again and the connection would be lost.
Now, in her teenage years, she was standing at the steps of her new home, that of her aunt Bulma. Capsule Corporations was a huge sprawling estate filled with pods of all sizes and shapes. Hikari wondered just where she would be staying and for how long. This place was definitely much larger than her previous accommodations.
Bulma Briefs was kind as she approached Hikari, her big smile easing Hikari's worries. Most of her hosts weren't that all...pleasant to see her at their doorsteps but at least they provided her room and board. As long as she did chores or something of that nature that is...Yet, Bulma wanted nothing of the sort from her...The woman treating her as a typical teenager, she insisted Hikari go to school in the city. Hikari had only been to school a few times in her years of living, that she knew of anyway.
Star Academy was supposedly the best school around...Upon her first day, Hikari just stood there, admiring a place she rarely got to see. There were lockers on every wall and throngs of students milling about in the hallways. Hikari paid them no mind. It wouldn't be good to make any friends for who knew how long she would be here? Weeks? Months? The longest she stayed in any place was three months, not enough time, in her view anyway, to make lasting friendships.
School was rather boring but bearable. It was the downside to living with the Briefs family but it was better than nothing. At least Hikari wasn't working on a field or out chasing rabbits like her previous places demanded she do. Here Hikari actually felt her age for once. Day by day, week by week, Hikari waited for the 'call' of sorts, that horrible phone call that practically ordered her away to some other shelter, yet no such thing came. Slowly, but surely, she began to let down her guard...Perhaps this was the final place?
"Hey Hikari!" A classmate of hers came towards her during one of their many breaks. Most ignored Hikari, believing she was just another unfriendly outcast. Raven was the only one that seemed to want to be near her.
"Raven." She regarded the guy as she always did, with a bit of heistance and guarded nature. His black hair and black eyes gave her the creeps but all in all he was a nice guy. Many times he had helped her survive high school, even tutoring her in math, one of her worst subjects.
"What are your plans for summer vacation?" He asked her.
"Vacation?" Hikari asked. "Oh...Right...Well...Nothing really." She shrugged. "I'm not much for going anywhere…"
"Well...You've moved around a lot so it's understandable." Raven said. "I still can't believe you've been to so many places, Hikari…"
"Yeah, well half of them I don't remember…" Hikari confessed. "I only remember them from my book."
Raven was the only one Hikari had spoken to about her only precious treasure, a notebook that contained everything of her life. Pictures, little trinkets and thoughts, everything from her days as a sort of nomad were in that book. Sometimes when she needed solace she would open it and look at all the places she had been to over the years. It was the only comfort she truly had these days.
"I guess this is the longest you've ever been anywhere…" Raven said.
"Yeah...Going on four months is a record for me." Hikari raised an eyebrow. "Not many friends either so...Consider yourself honored."
She got a chuckle from him on that one. "I'm truly blessed as it is! To think I know a Briefs!"
"Not a true one."
Raven rolled his eyes. "Who cares? You're still one, Hikari, whether you'd admit it or not."
The day finished as it ended, with Hikari walking home alone. Once at Capsule Corporations she immediately went to her room, dropping her bag at the door in the process. She all but collapsed onto her bed, hoping to at least get a ten minute nap before more insanity could ensue.
Hikari had been warned from day one that Capsule Corporations received weird guests who tended to pop in at a moment's notice. She had first noticed this when she had gone to the grand balcony to get some much needed privacy. Such could not occur that day...For Hikari had been introduced to two of Capsule Corporations many guests.
Whis and Beerus-sama (Hikari never really understood why she had to call the purple cat creature 'sama'...Just that Bulma told her to do it. The guy apparently was some big hot shot or something that shouldn't be messed with) were quite an odd pair. All Beerus-sama seemed to care about was food and the hyperactive man named Goku, who Hikari was introduced to a few days later. Whis was polite but Beerus-sama practically ignored her. It was fine with her, at least they would leave her alone.
Hikari had learned that day to be mindful of her surroundings for Beerus-sama and Whis, not to mention Goku, could just pop in at any moment. She could be working on homework when the next second a huge blast shakes the building...It was annoying really but again, Hikari didn't mind it.
There was...One thing she did mind...Ever since she had been introduced to Beerus-sama and Whis, Hikari had been having weird...dreams...Were they dreams though? To her they felt so real...Sometimes she would wake up well rested while others she would wake screaming from a horrible nightmare. It was a nightly occurrence since the introduction day. Most often she would completely forget the dreams yet the feelings they brought out lingered well into the morning.
Right now, she was dreaming again...As always she woke, this time with a sense of breathlessness...Yet, this time...was much different...She remembered something...a faint voice whispering into her ear.
Agitating the cobwebs she managed to refocus her thoughts to her current surroundings. That was an intense dream, she was sure of it...The clock on her nightstand told her it was almost time for dinner. She had slept for nearly two hours!? Good grief. Sighing she rose and headed out of her room, the voice from her dream still lingering in her memory...It sent a chill down her spine...not one of fear but one of anticipation…
It's almost time…
She stopped and looked around, absolutely swearing she could almost hear the voice behind her, all around her.
"Man...I must be really losing it." She walked into the hallway and immediately stopped in her strides as another resident of Capsule Corporations headed down the hallway. Hikari hadn't met Bulma's husband until a week after her arrival here and even then she knew he was not one to be messed with. He obviously loved his privacy and gave a presence of immense strength. Often he was in his training room outside thus he and Hikari didn't really cross paths that much. When they did Hikari did as she did now...Let him go first. There was just something about Vegeta that made her want to either run or stay alert, that at any time he would attack or something. She didn't mean to follow him but apparently they were going the same way...Towards the kitchen where a vast feast was laid out ready to be consumed.
"Hikari!" Practically ignoring Vegeta, Bulma went to Hikari first. Her smile was comforting to say the least. "How was school today?"
"Fine...I guess…" Bulma was very proactive in Hikari's education, which Hikari wondered why...She had a younger son, Trunks, to take care of...Why focus on Hikari anyway?
"Hiya big sis!" Speaking of the rug rat, Trunks came bounding in, taking a seat next to his father at the vast table of food. He had started calling her 'big sis' ever since his friend, Goten, mentioned it.
"Hey." Hikari regarded the boy before she and Bulma took a seat a few chairs down. It still amazed Hikari how much food Vegeta and Trunks could consume in one seating.
"So...The big test...Did we get a good grade?" Bulma prodded Hikari as they made their own smaller portions.
"As good as it's going to get…" Hikari frowned. "I hate math."
"Well, it isn't for everyone that's for sure." Bulma winked at her. "Still though, it's useful! Someday I think you'll make a great scientist!"
Even though she was adopted, Bulma was sure Hikari would follow the family footsteps and become a scientist.
"...I'm not sure that's the career for me honestly." Hikari replied.
"If not that's fine too." Bulma told her. "What do you plan on doing then?"
Hikari paused. "Dunno...I've...Never really had the time to think about it…" That was true. She hadn't spent enough time in one place to even think about her future.
"Well we'll find you something, I'm sure of it!" Bulma decreed. "At least it isn't fighting." She shook her head, huffed. "I swear everyone I know is a fighter...I'm glad to know at least one non-fighter." She stared at Hikari for a long moment. "Something's on your mind...Isn't it?"
Bulma could read her like a book. Was she that obvious?
"I...Guess so…" Hikari stated. With a breath on her lips she said, "I've been having...These weird thoughts lately…"
"Weird thoughts?" Bulma prodded and Hikari nodded.
"Yeah...Like...Is any of this for real...Or not?"
She felt Bulma's hand upon her own. The woman had a gentle nature about her, at least Hikari saw her that way.
"This is for real, Hikari." Bulma told her. "You are home...You aren't going anywhere."
Hikari actually smiled. "Thanks...I...Think I needed to hear that."
"Good." Bulma nodded. "Now let's finish up!"
Dinner went off without a hitch...Hikari returned to her room to do homework. Her nose stuck in her textbook for nearly over an hour before she realized she needed a break.
This is for real, Hikari...This is your home...You aren't going anywhere.
Bulma's words lingered in Hikari's mind. It made her smile again…
"Home...I...Kind of like the sound of that…'' Closing her book she decided to end the day on a high note. She went to bed moments later, thoughts of finally finding her place drifting her off into slumber.
