Destined Hearts

Chapter 43: A Place To Run

Emileigh blinked her eyes open, and when she looked around, she gasped seeing her surroundings.

The sky was pure blue as white puffy clouds filled the sky. Their were buildings that were completely white and cramped together in groups as the bright blueocean surrounded them. This was one of the most beautiful worlds she's ever been to. She couldn't believe her eyes seeing it.

As much as she wanted to take a look around more of the place...she knew she wasn't here for sightseeing.

"Once again, out of all the places to be sent to.." Emileigh gasped at the voice as she looked in front of herself.

"Xehanort." She growled as she took out her keyblades. Xehanort now had a slight smirk on his face as he faced her.

"We were once family, Emileigh. But now you have reduced yourself to this. Only a pawn to the light, and not using its true power." He said.

"...I may not remember who I was...but that doesn't mean I'm going to go back." She said. "I don't care that I'm even from here! I choose who I want to be, and I choose to be with my friends!"

"Big mistake, Emileigh." He said with a sinister smirk on his face. He slowly held his hand out and his signature keyblade formed in his hand.

"I don't see where your 'friends' are, but let's see if you can reach them in time!" He charged straight at her and she yelled as she hit his keyblade back. As they fought, both of their keyblades kept colliding with each others, and Emileigh had a slightly light aura around her body. However, as she fought...memories began to flow through her mind as she struggled to keep her focus.

A younger Xehanort and Eraqus were both sitting by a big window as they both had a checkarboard with fancy checker pieces on it as they both looked completely different. They both were trying to set it up as they both started to have a conversation with each other.

"So, exactly why do you want to have another round of this...?" Xehanort asked curiously.

"Well, why not? A game isn't over until it's over, and our first game was only the beginning." He said.

"So, you wanna have another round just to have fun?" Xehanort said as he had a small smirk on his face.

"Well, you said so yourself, you knew you had me, but I still won in the end." Eraqus said. "Besides, even enemies can have a little light in the end."

"Right. But what about-" "What are you two doing in here?" The two boys both looked towards the doorways, and they saw a familiar girl standing there. She had a white tank top with a navy blue, knee-length robe over it as she wore black leggings, and had two black chains hanging loose from the robe. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail...and her left arm wasn't a prosthetic.

"Ah, Emileigh, how did the test go?" Eraqus said as she walked over to them.

"Eh, it wasn't excited as I thought it would be." She said. "They only brought out Shadow heartless and that's it."
