Chapter 1: An unexpected journey begins

A/N: I know, I must be very crazy to do a crossover when I'm in the middle of so many stories, but I'm having writers block with them and I figured this would help me trigger the ideas.

For all of you who are big fans of my Trail of Memories series, I hope you enjoy this little crossover I thought of. I thought it would be interesting to see Hikari and the others take a journey through Middle-Earth. You'll have to let me know what you think. And don't worry, I haven't forgotten about Sorceress Wars, I'm just stuck on the next part and thought this story would help me out. Who knows, maybe I'll add references of this story into it?

I hope you guys enjoy my crossover idea! (I think I'm the first person who is doing a hobbit/ Kingdom Hearts crossover!)

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or the Hobbit; I just own my oc's.

Enjoy!

In a hole, in a ground there lived a Hobbit. This wasn't just your ordinary Took or Sackville-Baggins Hobbit, this was none other than Bilbo Baggins. It had nearly been 60 years since his little adventure and he felt it was time that it was told. With so many events that happened, he felt it was wrong to not speak about them.

Walking through the hallway of his loving home, he pulled opened a chest that held his sacred items. Here, he kept most of his keepsakes that he picked up from his adventure. Resting on the top was none other than his trusty sword, Sting as well as a few random things here and there. While all of these things brought back many memories, they weren't the things he was looking for. Digging deep within the chest, he pulled out a red journal that he saved to write his story.

Smiling in satisfactory, he went to close the chest when his eyes landed on a small simple box. There was nothing fancy about the box and looked worn out from years of being kept. But what was special about it was the little heart shaped charm that was attached on top of it.

Gasping quietly, he carefully picked the box up. It had been years since he had seen this box and the contents inside it. The memories they held were precious to him as they symbolized the ones who became so important in his life.

Taking the box with him, he grabbed his journal and went to his study. He set his journal up preparing to fill it with his story. But before he could do that, he had to look at the contents inside his little box. Gently opening the lid, he stared at the items that were put in it.

A small blue sea shell, a charm that took the shape of a mouse's head, a simple black blindfold, a dried out star shaped fruit. All these items represented the people who put this box together. It was thanks to them that he was able to experience such an amazing journey and still be alive.

He looked through the box some more and smile when he found the items that he was looking for. Resting in the middle was a star shaped charm that was made out of sea shells. He remembered when he was given this special charm and what it meant to have it.

"This is a Thalassa shell charm, Bilbo. It's said that whenever sailors travel out to sea, they always carry these charms to help them return home safely. If you carry this, then I know you'll return to your home safe and sound"

Bilbo chuckled at the memory. He picked up the photo that was next to it and admired it. It was very strange and different from the pictures that were seen in Middle-Earth. This picture was taken from a small device and was in color rather than having in drawn out. The picture was simple but the ones within it were the main reason why it special. Standing in the middle of it was none other than himself, but he was surrounded by four young individuals that were no older than teenagers.

"Sora, Riku, Ankoku and Hikari" he breathed.

It had been ages since he had seen their faces but he never forgot them. Just like Gandalf and the rest of the company they found a place in his heart that would never leave.

He placed the picture in front of his desk so he could look at them while he told his story. They played a big part with the events of Erebor and if it wasn't for them, the Dwarves would have probably failed in reclaiming their home.

Grabbing his quill, he dipped it in ink and started to write his story.

But before he began his story, he would have to start with theirs; particularly Hikari's.

It was thanks to her that he even had a story to tell.

Smiling fondly, he began to tell the tale of his dearest friend.

In a world far from here, there lived a girl named Hikari…

Destiny Islands 60 years ago….

The islands were peaceful as another day went by. The seagulls were flying high in the sky, the fish were swimming in the ocean and the beach was full of laughter. Along the shore of the beach, Hikari was laughing as she ran across the sand, kicking up water when the waves came in. Behind her Sora and Riku were chasing after her. It was one of those days where they could relax and not worry about anything. The heartless weren't a threat and school was out for the summer. Everything was perfect for our three keyblade wielders.

At one point Sora managed to get ahead of Hikari and Riku picked her up and swung her around. The two of them landed in the water and laughed as they got drenched from the oncoming waves.

"I win again!" Sora cheered.

"What are you talking about? Riku cheated" Hikari laughed.

Riku just shrugged and picked her up from the sand.

"What can I say? You're too cute when you're running"

Hikari just playfully smacked his arm and smiled. It had been so long since she could just relax and not worry about saving the worlds. Whenever she had moments like these, it was like her adventures across different worlds never happened and she was still a girl who lived on the islands.

The three of them played around the beach while Ankoku just watched them on her beach towel, munching on some ice cream. Having a normal life that wasn't ruled by the Organization was still new to her and she was taking it one day at a time.

After a while, the four of them just lounged around and watched the scenery before them. It was hard to believe that they were living in peace when months ago, they were off saving the worlds from darkness.

Ankoku looked at the sky and noticed that it was getting late.

"We should head back" she said.

"It's getting late and I don't want Taiyouko coming to look for us"

Feeling that was a good idea, they gathered their things and headed for the main land.

"Hey, you guys, are you coming over to have dinner?" Hikari asked.

Sora made a face at the idea of dinner at Hikari's house.

"Is your mom cooking?" he asked.

They learned the hard way that Taiyouko had no talent when it came to cooking. She felt that a simple meal was throwing everything from the fridge into one big pot and making a stew into it. It didn't matter what was in the stew, it would always turn out badly.

"No, mom is forbidden from ever stepping into the kitchen again" Hikari said.

"Tsukiko said she would make something good" Ankoku said.

The boys looked relieved when they heard that. They didn't think their stomachs could handle another round of bellyful stew.

"We'll be over later after we get changed" Riku said.

The boys parted ways with the girls and went to their respectable homes. Hikari and Ankoku were quiet for a bit, just enjoying the peace and quiet.

"Hey, Hikari. Do you ever miss it?" Ankoku asked.

Hikari looked at her nobody in confusion.

"Miss what?" she asked.

Ankoku shrugged and gestured to the sky.

"The adventures. Do you ever miss them?"

Hikari thought about it. While she did enjoy the peaceful life of the islands, she did have moments where she missed the adventures she had. She missed traveling to different worlds and making new friends, it was one of the highlights of having the keyblade.

"I do miss them from time to time, but I wouldn't change what I have now" she said.

"If I was still traveling to different worlds, then that meant I wasn't doing my job as a keyblade wielder and that the worlds were still in danger"

Ankoku simply hummed and shoved her hands into her pockets.

"Would you ever go on another adventure if you were given the chance?"

Hikari just looked at her nobody.

"Why are you suddenly bringing these questions up?" she asked.

Ankoku gave her a simple smirk.

"Because I can see that desire in your eyes" she said.

"You may be happy with the simple life of the islands but I know deep down you want to go on another adventure. You and I are the same being. I feel the same emotions you feel"

Hikari placed a hand over her heart. Sometimes she forgot that Ankoku was really her nobody and not her twin. She was able to read her like the back of her hand.

"I admit that I would enjoy going on another adventure, but I doubt I'll be given the chance to have one" she said.

"Unless the heartless are suddenly acting up again, I don't see myself ever leaving the islands for a bit"

Ankoku wore a sly smirk as if she knew something.

"Oh you never know, unexpected things tend to happen on this world"

They made it to their house where they could smell dinner being cooked.

"I'm going to stay out here for a bit" Hikari said.

She needed to think about what Ankoku said and sort her feelings out.

Her nobody nodded and went inside to see what Tsukiko was making while Hikari sat on a bench. She thought about the desire of wanting to go on another adventure. It frightened her that she had this urge to just go out and see other worlds. She had been on two adventures already and that should have been enough, but to her it just wasn't.

She wanted to see what else was out there. What other worlds were out there besides the islands. Surely there were other worlds that she had never explored yet.

She sighed as she leaned against the bench.

"Oh who am I kidding?" she thought.

"It's not like I'll be sent to an unexpected journey"

Her nose caught the scent of pipe tobacco which caused her to cough. Not a lot of people smoked on the islands and those who did never used pipes.

Opening her eyes, she found herself staring at a very peculiar person. He appeared to be an old man wearing grey robes and had a grey pointy hat on his head. He carried a strange looking staff and had a twinkle in his eye.

She wondered who the man was and why he was standing in front of her house. She had a feeling there was a reason why and she was going to find out.

"Good Afternoon"

A/N: I know this wasn't the best of an introduction but I thought it would be cool to have Bilbo start the tale off since that's what he did in the movie. And I'm sure you guys know which artifact represents our heroes.

Looks like Hikari has a strange guest at her home and I'm sure we all know who it is.

Please review and tell me what you think!

Ja ne!
