Changing Its Course
By: shinigami-no-elie
Attention: This is a crossover fic between Bleach and Kingdom Hearts (by which I always demand X3). And I kinda board fighting Xemnas all over again. That sucks! I decided to make this fic. Anyway, I'll be busy for sometimes and can't continue for a little while. But I tried my best to at least update this fic once a month! 2 or 3 months is the longest. And also, no reviews, no update. Gee, I'm too hard TT. And thanks to BestFanOfAnime for you are the one who introduce me this game, Kingdom Hearts. Also, thanks to Rara and Ochi for their great support! They introduce me to Bleach. Let's just begin then!
Disclaimer: all the KH and Bleach's character are not mine. I wish I had one T.T
Chapter I
This World…
Roxas' POV
Cold; I wish this chill gone. After what I do, I don't have regret doing that, although… I was hoping to meet Sora and the others once again, hoping that I could know them better.
But time's up… enough with all this…
I've already had my time. And that time can't go back to me any longer, even if I howl to the moon up there, even if I screamed so loud, trying to tear the world, even if I surrendered myself to the darkness…
That time won't go back…
Everything is gone now. Everything…is gone…
But maybe, I'm satisfied
-----------------------------------------------
An ice-blue-haired boy was standing beside the blond one, trying to wake him up. It has been a wonderful evening when suddenly, he met an unconscious spiky-blond boy.
"Hey kid! Wake Up!" A boy shook Roxas violently enough to wake him. "Are you okay? After leaving that world, you seem to have loose conscious."
Roxas found himself on the boy's hand, a little bit dazed. He tried to stand but fallen again, making the other boy to catch him again.
"Mattaku omae wa. Don't push yourself too hard. Every people experienced it, so just relax." The boy said as he tried to lay Roxas against the nearest wall. He took his bottle and tip it into Roxas' lips, trying to make Roxas drank it. Roxas, realizing the tip of the bottle, slowly drank it. He emptied the bottle, feeling okay again.
Roxas tried to stand. This time, the boy helped him; scared if Roxas was going to fall again. Roxas stood on his feet, scanned the area and looked at the boy who helped him.
"Thanks. I don't know what happened to me. The last time I know, I was falling and everything felt so cold…" He said, a bit shivered.
The boy smiled. "No problem. You were transferred to Seiretei. I can't blame you if you felt not okay. My name is Toushiki Ren. You can call me Ren." He said. The boy was the same age as Roxas. He's a bit shorter from him. His ice-blue hair waved freely though it's quite messy. He wore some sort of black traditional Japanese cloth and wielded a sword on his back.
"I'm Roxas. I don't have mid-name though. But nice to meet you, Ren." Roxas said, introducing himself.
Roxas looked back, scanning the whole area for a moment and halted. "Everything looked extremely different here. Where am I anyway?" He thought. He looked back at Ren again. He wanted to ask a question but seemed not to find his own voice.
"Where am I?" Finally, He asked Ren. Ren smiled at him again.
"This is Seiretei; A place where dead people were gathered. You can say this place as heaven." Ren answered him and grinned. "And I am a shinigami, a death god! You're kinda lost between the entrances so I guide you down."
Roxas now looked confuse. "Shinigami……death god…….dead people……am I dead?" Roxas asked the blue-haired boy again. Confusion was swarming all over his brain.
Ren stared at him, "Of course. Everyone here has been dead once! Even me! You remembered your death…didn't you?" He asked Roxas now. Roxas didn't know what to say. All he knew that he fused with Sora and found himself lying on the ground.
"I-I don't exactly remember… the last thing I remember was… I fused with Sora and ended up here…" Roxas said confused. Ren stared him, curiously mumbling, "Interesting…"
Roxas felt uncomfortable seeing the other boy stared like that. "What! It's not like I'm the only one who didn't remember my death! And who said I'm dead? Maybe I'm not dead yet!"
Ren snapped out from his thought and talk again, "Your case is unusual. Only you and that girl have that kind of problem. I was wondering if you are…" he stopped. Suddenly, the earth crumbled.
"Whoa- what's happening?" Roxas asked again, looking truly shocked. Ren quickly took out his sword. Some heartless appeared from the ground. Quickly, he slashed every each of them and took back his sword. Roxas stared at him, amused by what Ren had done.
"I don't know a shinigami could slash the Heartless…" Roxas said
Ren gave him a meaningful look. Roxas, feeling a bit uncomfortable with his stare, denied, "What? I don't know the heartless were after me this far!"
"I'm afraid I have to take you to the court, Roxas. This matter had grown more dangerous. After all, you're not like anyone. When you live, you're nobody, right?" Ren said with a bit upset
Roxas seemed a little shock about Ren knowing his background. "How did you know?"
"Easy. The girl we brought to the court also experienced this type of attack. Fortunately, my friend found her and defeated them without a sweat. Well, he's also a genius. We found out that she's a Nobody when she lived. Don't worry! The court will do no harm on you. The girl will be fine either. We just have to hide your presence. An existence like you has endless potentials. It can attract Hollows, making this village not safe." He said again. Roxas seemed to be quite annoyed when Ren stressed the word 'existence'.
"What does he think am I? I'm still alive, that's it. And he also mentioned a girl or someone. Could she be nobody too? Could she be Namine? Naaah…She had a very slim chance to slip into this world. But what if she is Namine?" He thought so deeply that he didn't sense that around 5 other shinigami had cornered them. One of them was a woman wearing an extra suit; a white form with a letter 'jyu-yon' meaning 'fourteen'. Roxas snapped out from his thought.
"Ren…what happens here?" Roxas asked unsure. Hearing no words from the other boy, he turned to the other boy. Ren seemed unreasonably scared.
"Shikachi-taichou! I didn't know you are coming to escort the boy, ma'am!" He said shakily. His word showed all of his emotion; Scared, afraid, panic, and don't-know-what-to-say. The woman stared back at Ren and continually glared to Roxas. Roxas was feeling that he was in big trouble.
"Boy…What's your name?" She asked a bit sharp.
"Roxas" Roxas answered it flatly, although it still showed some of his fear. Something in this woman made him shivered unreasonably. The woman shinigami, Shikachi, approached him closer to get a better look. He looked around him.
"I see. It seems like you are one of those keyblade wielders. My fukutaichou will pick you up. She's also a keyblade wielder, so don't be panic." She said calmly. Roxas seemed so confused; this is the 2nd time that he heard someone knew his background with just a simple look.
"How do you know I was a keyblade wielder? How do you know that I was a nobody? And how do you know all about my backgrounds!" Roxas screamed furiously, frustrated by the fact that everybody seemed to 'read his mind'.
Shikachi sighed. "Ren. Please Comeback to your headquarter. And Hikaru…" She said as she turned to one of the shinigamis, "…go back to the headquarters and fetch Nenke for me. She has to be here because this is an important matter and I don't want Roxas to miss even a single detail." Hikaru nodded and jump slightly onto the roof, making hand signal signaling the others to go back to headquarters. Ren also did the same.
"Roxas, I'll be meeting you again. That would be maybe. When that time comes, maybe you could meet Namine…" Ren said as he ran using his shunpou, leaving Roxas alone with Shikachi. Roxas didn't move a bit.
"He said Namine! Does that mean that Namine is here somewhere? But that's impossible…" He mused again. "I hope she is alright…" He hoped as watched seriously, keeping his guard up. Shikachi sighed again.
"Don't be so tensed up. I'm not going to hurt you. Besides, maybe you have Question. Maybe about this world or how did heartless after you until this time. And moreover, you haven't received your OWN keyblade." She said again.
Roxas didn't know what to say. He was so new here and very lack of knowledge. The only thing he knew that this world was not meant to be part of other worlds. This world seemed to like…stand alone. If the barrier here crumbled, who know what's going to happen?
"First, who are you?"
"I'm Shikachi Kawamura, Head of intelligent agencies and the 14th division. I'm a shinigami with taichou-class, responsible for such as your problem." He said a bit dark
"Second, what is this world? I mean, this is really a very strange place. I don't know for such a world could exist." Roxas looked around, seeing all around him. There are only traditional Japanese houses around, not much to see.
"This is Seiretei; A realm where most people who had died once, live. When I said die, it means they die when they're on your world. Their soul was transported here. So, every one of us, including me, are some sort of spirits. We don't have bodies…" She said but now lowered her tone. "But we made the bodies." She chuckled. "Don't worry! It's not a true form. It's just some sort of technology which allows a spirit to enter and move the body. It's some sort like stuffed animals." Shikachi answered it smoothly.
"Third, why do you know about me?" This time, he asked him a bit curious. Shikachi sighed again.
"My, my…I'm head of the intelligent agencies! I know information across other dimensions." She chuckled one more time. Roxas then asked again, for the last.
"Last, because I'm too tired to ask you more questions. Why is it always me? Why do I have more attention?"
Shikachi leaned against the wall. She practically sighed again. Now he stared down at Roxas. "Roxas, you're both a nobody and a keyblade wielder. Isn't it a bit strange? The only Keyblade wielder that ever exists here is only my friend, Nenke. And she's not a nobody. She's whole. When we met a case like you, we just can't let swarming around all over place. Even when I met Nenke, she's already tailed by 10 dusks behind her. And moreover, you're one of the members of Jyuusan Kikan; No. 13, Roxas, the 'Key of Destiny'. We'll need you."
Roxas blinked for a second. He seemed to lose faith on her. "And what exactly you mean 'need'?" he stressed the word 'need'. It seemed for him that he was used again, like last time.
Shikachi continued her words, "There's a kind of Heartless named Hollow. It is really HEARTLESS but that doesn't mean it is a heartless. It's a bad spirit which devours good spirits. Sometimes, it infected other spirits into one of it. Also, it can even attacked the living or rip their souls out from their body. It's very dangerous. Hollow will always attracted to reiatsu while Sora and his friends have a high-rated reiatsu. What-reiatsu is an inner energy that enables you to use magic, in other words mana. Every your friends level up, their reiatsu grow bigger, and more danger will come towards them. The hollow maybe ended up slashing them to the ground because they can't see them. And when I tell you that you were a Jyuusan Kikan member, I was hoping that you're skilled enough to wield a sword because the keyblade you're going to use are way much cooler and way much harder to use than before. At least you can handle Oblivion and the Oathkeeper. You can save your beloved ones with that blade, even though you're just a soul. That should be enough because Nenke has come. You can ask more if you're still curious." Shikachi ended the conversation when suddenly; a huge wind ball appeared out of nowhere. This made Roxas to shield his eyes as some of the dust flew all over him. Inside the ball, a woman shinigami stood there.
"Yo Shikachi! I'm here now!" The other woman said energetically.
"I'll leave it to you then, Nenke. I got to find more information about Namine and him so you could start the training." Shikachi said as she left with her shunpou.
"Wait! Where's Namine!" Roxas shouted but Shikachi has already gone.
"She's safe with 3rd division. Don't worry. She'll be trained there; to be a shinigami just like me." Nenke smiled at him. She's a bit taller than Roxas. Her black hair seemed to wave though her hair only goes to her shoulder. She wore the same uniform as Ren did.
Roxas seemed a bit frustrated. He has a mountain of question and his mentor has run somewhere else! "And why does Namine have to be trained! She's not a tool!"
Nenke sighed, "We're not using you. You have to be a shinigami so you can disguise your reiatsu. Even in this state, you have more reiatsu than I ever imagined. The more reiatsu you emit, the more hollow or heartless will come. We're in state of war here. Disguising you as a shinigami would be a better way to endure from that hollows. And for Namine, she has more reiatsu than you. Don't ask me why. Maybe you know the answer." She ended it.
Roxas stared at her unbelievably. First, he was thrown into this world and now he had to be a shinigami! This is just dumb! "I'm not coming!"
Nenke grinned, "Yes, you will." She snapped her finger. Suddenly, a wind ball appeared covering Roxas. Nenke snapped her finger again and a wind ball appeared again; this time, covering Nenke as well. Lastly, she snapped her finger again, making them float and flew away. "I'm sorry Roxas, but you're the last key to save Sora and him once again and I intend not to release you this quickly."
Roxas gave a puzzled look, "Save Sora? What do you mean? Is he and the other in mortal danger?"
"If we're correct, Sora and your friends were tailed by some Hollows but they seemed not to realize it." She said darkly. Roxas stared at her for a while.
"You're not serious…are you?" Roxas glared at her
"Believe me. I never joked around in this situation." She replied. "Anyway, we almost reached the court. You're still not going? Or you will?" She said again. She dropped them on the land outside a huge building. Roxas merely can believe his eyes.
Then, the big gate opened slowly, revealing 3 shinigamis. Roxas recognize one of them. Ren (doesn't know why) had stood there to open the door. Next to him, a raven-haired shinigami stood. He's not much older than either Roxas or Ren. But his eyes caught on a blond shinigami, standing beside the boy. Her blue eyes caught him by surprise. She squinted a bit.
"Roxas…Is that really you?" She asked Roxas. Roxas doesn't know what to say.
"Namine…?"
