Kingdom Hearts: It Takes Two

(Before the start, this is a sequel to my story Guy Love. Read it for a little continuity, but it isn't compulsory. Cookie for whoever can guess the people who own the Kingdom Messenger accounts)

Axel was sprawled across Roxas' couch, hands folded behind his head and smiling. Roxas was slightly irritated that Axel always crashed his room, but let it slide. Roxas was flying high after Axel and he had stood before thousands of fangirls and sung about how they cared about each other, without 'loving' each other. The AkuRoku fangirls had been so impressed that they had simply left. On a side note, the full song was on YouTube under the user SavageNymph.

"That was awesome, Axel!" Roxas commented, still scarcely believing it.

"True, Roxas. By the way, that 'Flaming Bear' nickname isn't going to stick, is it?" No answer, "Roxas?"

Again no answer. Axel looked over the back of the couch. Roxas was sitting at his computer. He had one tab open on FanFiction.net and one on deviantART. The Flurry of Dancing Flames stood and walked over to Roxas, looking over his shoulder.

On the screen, both FanFiction.net and deviantART, were yaoi pieces. SoraxRiku, Zemyx, Mansax, you name it, it was there.

"What's up?"

"I feel really bad for 'em," Roxas answered, "We were so focused on how fangirls treat us, we completely forgot about everyone else. I mean, just look at SoraxRiku! I mean, I don't like Riku, but not THAT much." Roxas returned to the deviantART tab, but quickly exited as he saw a steamy yaoi of Sora and Riku.

"So, were you planning anything?" Axel asked, "You looked like you were thinking. And coming from Sora's Nobody, that's a bit shocking." The Oblivion keyblade spun out of nowhere. Axel narrowly ducked the weapon as it clattered across the floor, disappearing soon after.

"Hahaha Flaming Bear," Roxas replied sacrasticly, "I mean, look at what our song did for the AkuRoku fangirls! We shouldn't just sit by and watch this happen!"

"What, teach every pairing the song?" Axel asked, every the cynical half of the friendship.

"No, that's not going far enough," Roxas brought up Kingdom Messager and selected a new message, "Song worked for us, we can make it bigger to help the others." Roxas said as he linked the message to be sent to KeyMaster, PrincessofHeart, TheTwilightBlade, EternalNothingness, SailorMoon, SurferBoy, Academic13 and MonaLisa.

"Roxas..." Axel trailed off, reading the message Roxas was writing.

Kingdom Hearts Concert: It Takes Two

Characters, are you tired of being yaoi paired with other characters? Want the fangirls to leave you alone? join Roxas and Axel in The World That Never Was in preperation for KH: It Takes Two. Bring along your female pairing, your yaoi pairing, or sing solo a song of your choice. The concert will be used to raise awareness for yaoi and send a plea for respite. Feel free to bring along any other characters that you know to help out!

Roxas clicked, and almost seconds later all eight characters recieved the fateful e-mail, starting a chain that would unfold into the epic story that is Kingdom Hearts: It Takes Two.


OoC: Right. The concert will start in a few chapters. Before then, you can submit song requests for characters or pairs of characters, and possibly see them in the fic! The only taken characters are Axel - Burn Baby Burn, Roxas - Beautiful Soul, Sora & Kairi - Bring Me To Life and Namine, who won't be taking part in the concert.

 

Huh? :star-wars-smiley-02
I can't get a cookie..I don't know the names of the people...
NOOOO!!

 

'Tis so simple! Anyway, aren't you going to suggest a song? Also, Lexaeus and Xigbar are unavailable as they play drums and keyboard respectively. So far I think Stitch will play guitar. Lovable experiment!

 

I think I know the first four....I think! Sora, Kairi, Riku, and Namine! BREAKING A HABIT! By linkn park...I think!

 

You got Sora, Riku and Kairi right, and for that you get a cookie. Namine is one of the eight, but she isn't EternalNothingness. Think... "Hearts are power" for EternalNothingness. Good song idea, will probably be Riku singing it. May be joined by either Xehanort's Heartless, Xemnas or Repliku.

(short chapter to move the story along)

The Organization took some persuading on the matter. They understandably didn't want a concert on their secret hideout world, let alone one featuring two Keyblade masters and a Princess of Heart. However, Xemnas, Saix, Demyx and Zexion agreed with the cause of our heroes, and soon they won over seven members. The concert would go ahead.

Zexion got to work making flyers. Roxas got on his computer and had a frenzied chatroom conversation with KeyMaster, PrincessofHeart and TheTwilightBlade to set up the concert. Roxas was slightly worried about Namine. She wasn't returning any of his calls. Meanwhile, Lexaeus was practising drums, Xigbar idly played Dearly Beloved on the keyboard and Demyx sat next to Stitch, both absorbed in a jam session.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Namine slowly awoke to find herself bound tightly to a chair in the middle of a dimly lit room. A single bulb swung from a chain above her, barely illuminating the chair she was bound to, let alone the rest of the room. Namine tested her bonds. She was far to frail to break them, and the knots were too complex to untie.

"Our guest awakens," a voice echoed. Namine jerked towards the source.

"Who's there?" She asked. The same voice laughed, and someone stepped into the light.

She wore an Organization XIII black coat. With a flourish she lowered the hood. Her beautiful, ebony black hair fluttered out like feathers, the blonde highlights catching the light in a brilliant glow. Her piercing violet eyes stared directly into Namine's, and the Nobody quailed.

"I believe you know me," Mary Sue mocked.

"Why are you doing this?" Namine asked desperately.

"Because you female leads make me SICK!" Mary yelled, sticking her face close to Namine, "Because you hussy prudes steal the male leads for yourselves and stuff the rest of us!"

"But how do you know about the concert," Namine tried, "and why stop it?"

"I'm Mary freaking Sue," the Sue replied, making a 'duh' gesture, "I know everything. And the concert... Not only does it band together those yaoi FILTH," she spat the last word, "it promotes the mad idea that you HUSSIES get the leads all to yourselves!"

"Any real lead would see how hideous you are inside in an instant!" Namine snapped in a fake attempt at bravado. Mary Sue backhanded the smaller girl across the face. Namine forced herself not to cry out and glared at Sue.

"Now you'll go 'help' the concert, and I'll modify your memories of this encounter," Sue told her. Namine began to speak, but Sue cut her off.

"I'm Mary Sue," she said as Namine began to feel dizzy, "It's who I am..."

(OMFG, we have a villain and a plot!)

I am no longer lazah!

A train rattled into the Dark City. Within it, countless KH fans laughed and chatted, all of them to a man (or woman) incredibly excited about the concert they were steadily approaching. Only one seemed less than enthusiastic.

Aerith Gainsborough sat alone, her cheek against the window, staring out. The scenery flashed past in a blur, and the window was blurred by the driving rain. The seat next to her was empty, despite how packed the train was. She glanced back at the train's occupants. Down the other end someone who called himself ICSP was arguing loudly that Organization XIII was innocent. Another who called himself Repliku was arguing just as loudly against him. Various people were encouraging their favourite. Aerith looked back out the window. She was going to the concert for two reasons. One, she wanted to help Sora and his friends out, and secondly she wanted to spend some time with her boyfriend. However, the boyfriend in question was currently on top of the train. Aerith sighed as the train rattled, no doubt caused by her boyfriend.

The train ground to a halt, the people within it chattering excitedly. Aerith managed to avoid the press and exited, looking around expectingly. On the train roof a man flipped, landing on his left hand and using it to springboard himself off the train, landing stylishly on the platform.

"Did you really have to do that on our first date?" Aerith asked, slightly exasperated.

"There were Heartless on the roof," the man said, sheathing the Buster sword, "What else could I have done?"

"You could've left it to the security guards!" Aerith argued.

"Please, they couldn't compare to a SOLDIER, 1st class," the man dismissed.

"Forgetting that you're not a SOLDIER anymore, considering that you're leagally dead," Aerith reminded.

The man smiled, "I'll never forget that, Aerith."

Aerith set off towards the concert. The man followed her, reaching into his pocket as he did so. He withdrew a small object that looked suspiciously like a PSP. On the screen, three bars rolled vertically, revealing a new picture with each spin. A light was blinking.

"Wierd," the man said, tapping the object, "It wants me to make a new file. Who here could use this?" He followed Aerith, still tapping the slim black machine in his hand.

(Time to guess who Aerith's boyfriend is!)

 

Is it Zack Fair? I just thought of something. Heartless singing "Riot" by Three Days Grace.

 

Curses, I thought more people would think of Cloud. I was torn between developing Zack's first appearance and keeping it ambiguous. That wierd PSP thingy is his Digital Mind Wave. Wierd, I know. Maybe Heartless shall sing Riot!

 

Ooh. This is good.

Awww! I love Zack! You have to get the next one out soon. I must know what happens next.

So, now Sora, Kairi and Riku are in the DMW?

-Kairi

 

OMG, someone actually posted! I feel so appreciated :D. Yep, SKR are in the DMW, and the DMW will be a very important plot point.

Mary Sue stood atop a skyscraper, staring down at the Dark City. Memory's Skyscraper was a block or two to her right, and she could hear the fans even from there. She smiled. It was because of them that she existed.

Sue heard a voice. She looked down to street level. Roxas jogged below, calling for Namine. Mary's ridiculously beautiful features twisted into a scowl and her bright green eyes glared at the Nobody below her. Her beloved Roxas-kun was calling for that worthless creature Namine. Mary felt betrayed, but as she thought about it, a smile formed. With Roxas looking for Namine, the concert was short one act.

There was a rushing noise. Mary cartwheeled aside as a Firaga blazed past her, dissipating harmlessly several blocks away. Mary spun to face the source, summoning her Ultima Keyblade.

Standing before her was another woman in an Organization coat. In contrast to Mary's astonishing good looks, this woman was quite plain, wielding no weapon aside from a simple pen.

Both women stared each other down, neither willing to give ground in the silent battle of wills.

"News?" Mary Sue asked.

"The best," Yaoi Sue replied. They lowered their weapons, and drew closer.

"Sephiroth has come to The World That Never Was," Yaoi Sue said. Mary listened with interest.

"That means that Cloud is here," Yaoi continued, "and we all know how popular they are as a pair, if you know what I mean." Mary nodded. She was well-versed in Yaoi pairings, mostly because she mercilessly flamed them on FanFiction.net and deviantART.

"With the both of them here, they will invariably fight, and this will disrupt the concert. If we're lucky, we may be able to... persuade Sephiroth to help us."

"He's just an incredibly popular cameo," Mary challenged, "He has no incentive to help."

Yaoi Sue smirked, "I have my ways." She began to walk away, past Mary.

Mary summoned the Ultima Keyblade, blocking Yaoi's path with the spiky blue Keyblade, "I just want this clear. I'm only helping you because this concert is bad for the both of us," she raised the Keyblade, allowing Yaoi to pass.

"If you try anything," Mary added, pointing her Keyblade at Yaoi's back, "I will kill you." With that, she disappeared into a corridor of darkness.

Yaoi laughed, "We'll see."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Zack glared at Sephiroth, "You. What're you doing here? Cloud killed you!"

"No," Sephiroth replied, "He can't kill me. No matter how many times I fall, his darkness keeps calling me back."

"That's what you think!" Sora argued, "You couldn't beat him before, and he'll beat you now!"

Sephiroth closed his eyes and smiled patronizingly, as if Sora was a simpleton, "Such bravado. I have no interest in fighting you again. I have much better things to do with my time. Find Cloud. Tell him to come here."

"Hell no!" Zack exclaimed, "I'm not letting you screw with Cloud's head! I might not have been able to beat you before, but I'm sure as hell not going to stand by today!" Zack dropped into a fighting crouch, the Buster sword ready. As if sensing his intent, his DMW began to spin.

"Hmph, so you insist on delaying me. I suppose I can spare the time. For old time's sake." Sephiroth 'drew' Masamune and readied it.

"Sora, get your friends and run," Zack ordered, "I'll hold him off."

"As desperate to be a hero as always, Zack," Sephiroth noted.

"We can fight!" Sora argued.

"I know how to handle myself," Zack said forcefully in a tone that provided no argument, "Just go!"

Sephiroth dashed towards Zack. Zack raised the Buster sword and managed to force Sephiroth's Masamune into a lock. Sephiroth seemed to have a faint half-smile frozen on his face. Zack gritted his teeth and pushed Sephiroth back, following up with a flurry of blows. Sephiroth dodged all but one, leaping backwards from the last strike. Zack charged after his enemy. Sephiroth reversed Masamune like a knife and slashed out. Zack ducked under the blow and past Sephiroth. The One Winged Angel flipped Masamune back to its upright position and turned. Zack parried Sephiroth's cut and spun, deflecting the next strike with a backhand slash. Sephiroth locked the Buster sword in place and Zack pressed his free hand against the blade, shoving against Sephiroth.

"Modulating Phase," Zack's DMW beeped.

"I suppose that's your Digital Mind Wave, Zack?" Sephiroth asked.

"Yeah," Zack replied as all three pictures lined up, "and it's playing your SONG!"

All three pictures lined up. Three Sephiroths, a three, a one and a five. Zack broke the weapon lock and hopped backwards, pale green energy swirling up his body. On the DMW display screen a text box appeared. 'Octaslash level 5'.

Zack flourished the Buster sword and dashed towards Sephiroth. He began a furious assault, Sephiroth's face now showing concentration as seven powerful strikes were blocked with difficulty. Each one seemed like it should have knocked Masamune from Sephiroth's grip, but still he held on. Zack jumped into the air and raised the Buster sword high.

"You're gone!" Zack yelled and brought the sword down. Though blocked, the strike forced Sephiroth back a few steps.

"Know your place," Sephiroth said, a trace of frustration in his voice. He slashed the air, and Masamune created a destructive blade beam that raced towards Zack. The ex-SOLDIER just managed to block the attack, striking the beam in half and letting the halves pass harmlessly past him. Zack panted, the strain of battling Sephiroth beginning to show. Sweat rolled down his forehead.

"What's wrong Zack?" Sephiroth asked, "Aren't you as much of a hero as you thought?"

Zack glared at him. Sephiroth dashed towards Zack, raising Masamune high for a devastating descending slash. Zack raised the Buster sword, but knew that he was too slow.

There was a clashing noise, and both Zack and Sephiroth looked surprised.

Riku stood before Zack, the Way to the Dawn blocking Masamune. Sephiroth looked at the silver-haired Keyblade master with interest.

"And where is the rest of your little group?" Sephiroth asked.

"Right here!" Sephiroth looked up to see Sora gliding towards him, Oblivion keyblade ready. Sephiroth sent Riku sliding back with a powerful slash and guarded Sora's strike.

"Absurd. You all know that you can't defeat me," Sephiroth said.

"Forgetting someone?" a third voice said. Sephiroth couldn't turn quick enough, and the Oathkeeper keyblade slammed painfully into his back. Sephiroth spun to strike his attacker, but Riku was too quick, protecting Kairi from the blow. Zack stood and witnessed Sephiroth having difficulty warding off three combatants. He felt a growing respect for the three. He had heard of a time when Sephiroth fought both Angeal and Genesis at once.

Both Riku and Sora struck at the same time. Sephiroth guarded with Masamune vertical, his right forearm supporting the blade. The two Keyblades crossed over the katana in an X shape. Kairi fired a Blizzaga straight at Sephiroth. He dodged back, disengaging the lock, and cut the frostball in half.

Sora glanced at Riku, "You think we can take him?"

"We've fought worse," Riku agreed. They were about to perform Session.

"Modulating Phase," the DMW deadpanned. Zack started at the outburst and pulled out the 'PSP'. Three bars scrolled vertically, but they didn't contain many pictures he recognized. He saw the name in the corner, and understood.

It was Sora.

Two Riku pictures had lined up, both of them fours. The final bar scrolled past what looked like an oversized mouse, a duck, a dog, a blonde kid who looked like Sora and Kairi before finally lining up to Riku, value five. The text box that appeared read, 'Dark Aura level 1'. Zack watched in interest, wondering what the DMW scenes would be.

"I'm not afraid of the darkness!"

"I control the Heartless now, Sora."

"Let the Keyblade choose... It's true master!"

"The darkness will destroy you."

"You've gotta run! The Heartless are coming!"

"Take care of her."

"I told you Sora. I didn't want to be found."

"I had given in to the Darkness..."

Sora glowed with Dark energy, and all five people, including him, watched with surprise. The energy caused his clothes to ruffle as if in a heavy wind, as well as his necklace, his hair and the keychain on Oblivion. Sora looked up at Sephiroth and understood.

"I'll take him!" Sora dashed towards Sephiroth, and sent the man flying with a powerful uppercut. Sephiroth looked slightly confused as he rose into the air, facing Sora. The Keyblade master didn't follow him up, instead slowly moving his hand from left to right. Dark flames sprang to life in his palm. Sora grunted and swiped his hand aside, throwing three Dark Firagas. He swiped a few times more, each swipe launching three Dark Firagas. Sephiroth managed to deflect two of the fireballs, and the rest seemed to simply shoot past him. Sephiroth looked behind him, up in the air, and remembered the same thing happening when he fought Angeal and Genesis. The Firagas that had flown past him were swinging around as if on a string. Sora clenched his fist, and the storm shot back towards Sephiroth. Over and over they slammed into him, encasing him in a flickering sphere of dark flame. Sora drew back his hand, a huge Dark Firaga glowing in his palm.

"Prepare to lose it all!" Sora yelled and threw the Firaga. It blasted the sphere into smithereens, the fallout slowly drifting to earth like luminous snowflakes. Sora stared at the hand that had fired the Firagas in disbelief, while Riku and Kairi looked at him with confusion. Sephiroth was gone.

"Where did that come from?" Sora wondered.

"My DMW," Zack said, walking up to him, "It's created a file for you. It lined up three pictures of your friend Riku, and it granted you his powers for a while."

"Whoah," Sora said, "That could happen again?"

"That was incredible!" a new voice said. The four warriors turned to see a blonde girl in a white dress.

"How did you do that?" Namine asked, running towards them.

"Who is this?" Zack asked Sora. Namine was thinking the same thing about Zack.

"That's Namine. She's another friend of ours," Sora explained, "And this is Zack. He's a friend of Cloud's and ours."

Namine noticed the DMW that Zack was holding, "What's that?" Zack showed her. Having 'resolved' the conflict, it had frozen in the state it had been when Sora defeated Sephiroth. Three Riku pictures had lined up.

"This is incredible!" Namine exclaimed, "This machine recognizes when the bearer meets a person close to them and the link that their hearts share. When this machine lines up the pictures, it is able to grant the bearer strength from the connection that their hearts share! Where did you get this?"

"I think we should be more concerned about Sephiroth," Zack interrupted, "He may be gone, but there's no way something like that could kill him. Cloud stabbed him twice and he was still alive. We have to warn everyone at the concert."

"Plus, Aerith will be worried," Sora reminded. A look of abject horror showed itself on Zack's face.

"OH CRAP!" Zack took off back towards the concert. Sora laughed and the four set off after Zack.

"New option added," the DMW beeped, unheard. A Zack portrait appeared in Sora's file.

(Well there we have it, the Sephiroth conflict resolved! Back to the concert!)

 

Wow. Impressive.

I absolutely loved Sora's DMW attack. It was incredibly awesome.

-Kairi

 

Yay, I have a fan! I'll write another entry soon, but please someone else post here! I don't want to wait a week *puppy eyes*

 

(Sylvanas Windrunner voice)I'm here, as always. (anyone played warcraft 3, frozen throne?)
Wow, the last page was funny. This is getting interesting!

 

Bumptacular! And nobody was posting D:

The spotlights flicked on one by one, slowly illuminating the stage. It revealed everyone's favourite pyromaniac Axel sitting at a grand piano, his Sonic hairstyle forcibly pulled back into a neat ponytail and wearing a tuxedo. Axel slowly started to play.

"I felt that I should kick off the night with something cultured," Axel explained, "Something sophisticated, show you my softer side."

Every KH fan looked identically confused. One or two started looking for an exit.

Axel gave them his trademark evil grin, "Oh to hell with it." The band holding his hair in a ponytail exploded. Flames raced down his arms, burning off the tuxedo and beginning to eagerly devour the grand piano. Several Axel fangirls began to nosebleed, thinking that Axel would be naked, but underneath was - of course - his Organization outfit. Axel leaped from the stool as the whole instrument was engulfed in fire.

"BURN BABY BURN!", Axel sang into the microphone attatched to his ear, "DISCO INFERNO!"

Of course, I could attach the rest of the lyrics. But then again, the song is pretty repetitive anyway. Suffice to say there were wild cheers and Axel fangirls swooned. Near the back of the crowd was a pink-clad Cetra who was becoming more and more annoyed with each passing minute.

"Aerith!" Zack called, racing towards her, "Aerith, I'm sorry, I just stepped away and..."

SMASH! An oak staff slammed into the dead centre of Zack's face. The ex-SOLDIER was frozen for a long moment before slowly toppling backwards. Sora, who had been following Zack, screeched to a stop. Zack clutched his nose.

"Argh!" Zack said nasally, "What was that for?"

"I worry about you!" Aerith exclaimed, poking the defenceless Zack with her staff, "Last time I left you alone you ran off and took on the whole Shinra army! Don't you realize that I can't deal with it? It's how I felt when you weren't answering my letters!"

Aerith halted her tirade and, feeling slightly sheepish, cast Cure on Zack. He felt his nose realign itself and the blood was siphoned away. Zack tapped his nose and stood, placing a gloved hand on Aerith's shoulder.

"It's ok, Aerith. I won't leave," Zack assured, smiling. Aerith smiled as well.

Sora scuffed the ground with one shoe, embarassed both by the touching scene and the paralells he could draw between their relationship and his own with Kairi. Kairi noticed this too. She patted Sora reassuringly on the back.

"It's ok. I worry about you too, but I know you can look after yourself," she assured. Sora patted her hand.

"I care about you too, Kairi," Sora mumbled.

"What?"

"N-nothing!" Sora stammered, "Hey, Namine, isn't Roxas on next?" His question was answered by a pair of rabid Roxas fangirls jabbing their programmes and squealing. Sora was struck by a thought. He relayed his idea to Namine, who nodded.

Backstage, Roxas ran in, panting.

"Come on Roxas you're on!" Axel hurried, still sweating from his gig, "Quick, get into your Twilight Town outfit, the fangirls dig it!"

While Roxas struggled with his outfit the screams of fangirls grew louder. One woman, however, was not screaming. Mary Sue stood on a skyscraper rooftop and scowled.

 

Heh. I love your frequent updates.

Poor Zack. I didn't know that Aerith could get so physical as to hit the poor man. And as for the Sora/Kairi conversation, nice. The quick cover-up and stammering fits Sora's character. Good job.

-Kairi

 

They're hardly frequent. I just spew writing from variuous orifices.I was worried that Aerith's attempted homicide would be out of character, but then again, she did send over eighty letters, all of them unreplied.

Roxas, still panting and his Twilight Town garb slightly askew, stumbled onto the stage, holding a microphone. The Roxas fangirls squealed their hearts out at the sight of their beloved Roxas-kun. Xigbar stepped backstage, leaving Demyx with his sitar and Lexaeus on the drums. Roxas' eyes flicked across the crowded square. So many fans; what if he screwed up? Then the concert would be a waste. He couldn't do it himself! Last time he'd had Axel beside him.

Lexaeus and Demyx began to play. Roxas' throat was dry and try as he might he couldn't make a sound. Was there a woman standing on the roof looking at him? He was feeling a bit dizzy. Roxas felt an urge to throw up. This was it. He'd pass out and the concert would be in shambles.

"I don't want another pretty face," someone sang. Roxas started, and every eye turned to the source. Sora, Riku and Kairi raised their Keyblades, light pouring from their tips and creating a spotlight centred...

On Namine. She was striding towards the stage, microphone in hand. The fans cleared a path before her.

"I don't want just anyone to hold," Namine continued, drawing closer. Roxas found his gaze drawn to Sora. Their eyes met, Nobody and Other, and they completely understood each other.

Thanks, but I'll murder you once the concert is over, Roxas' eyes said.

Totally worth it, Sora's gaze replied.

"I don't wont my love to go to waste," Namine was at the edge of the stage, "I want you and your beautiful soul." Both Nobodies shared a smile. Roxas offered his hand and Namine took it, the boy hauling her up onto the stage.

"I know that you are something special," Roxas sang, indicating Namine, "To you I'd always be faithful. I want to be what you always needed, then I hope you'll see the heart in me!"

Both Nobodies sang the chorus again in harmony. As they finished Namine stepped away from Roxas and the spotlight centred on her.

"Your beautiful soul, yeah, you might need time to think it over. But im just fine moving forward, I'll ease your mind. If you give me the chance, I will never make you cry c`mon lets try!" she sang. Once again they stepped close and sang the chorus in unison.

Roxas faced Namine, "Am I crazy for wanting you, baby do you think you could want me too. I don't wanna waste your time, do you see things the way I do. I just wanna know if you feel it too, there is nothing left to hide!"

The Nobodies sang the final chorus to the screams of fans, especially RoxNam fans. AkuRoku fans sulked a bit to see Roxas with Namine, but let it slide. The two Nobodies finished, microphones raised high, free arm around their partner.

Namine, caught up in the moment, had an insane idea. She turned her head and kissed Roxas on the cheek. But she didn't hit his cheek. Unfortunately for her, Roxas had the same idea, and also turned to kiss her on the cheek.

Their lips met.

All screams of joy ceased. Roxas and Namine were completely frozen in horror, unable to move. Their wide eyes stared into the other's. In an unspoken moment of agreement, they broke apart and ran off the stage in opposite directions. The fans were confused.

On the rooftop Mary growled in rage. The ground beneath her cracked in a spider-web pattern. Roxas had fallen for the hussy prude Namine. There was hardly any chance that Roxas-kun would be her slave when she took over the fandom. Mary calmed herself. No matter, there's always smexyness embodied, Riku, and Axel. Maybe even... Sora.

Mary looked at the sky behind her. Unnoticed by anyone at the concert, Kingdom Hearts had been reborn. The heart-shaped moon hovered in the sky, soudlessly collecting hearts.

"Soon, my secret weapon," Mary said to herself, "Soon..."
