A theater flashes right before your eyes and the author appears right next to the projector.

*Hey guys Hakuorofan7 here and welcome to the first chapter of this story. I know the title says The Familiar of Twilight, but that is more of a working title if anything. If you guys habe any suggestions let me know. You have until the next chapter.*

*Anyway as I said before I was planning on making this story as a tribute of A Heart in the Void by DrWriter21, the very same story that got me onto this site. Sad to say that as it hasn't updated in nearly 3 years, so I've taken it upon myself to pick up the pieces and start anew.*

*While a few things will stay famiular to his work, this is my own story so it will be entierly different then what he has.*

*With that in mind this chapter takes place about a third of the way through Kingdom Hearts II and cover's Roxas encounter with the portal and nothing else. I'll explaim after the chapter why I did so.*

*So until then let us begin.*

*Also so I don't forget, I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Familiar of Zero.*

*So with that said just sit back, relax, maybe put some music on, and enjoy. I will see you all at the end of the chapter.*

With that the author tapped the projecto and it flared to life, the chapter beginning as the screen turned to white.

Another Chance

It has been exactly one month since that fateful day.

Since he had turned a year old and the day he lost everything.

The day he regained the memories stolen from him.

The day were he was forced to give up his existence to merge with Sora. Not a day has gone by with Roxas cursing both Riku and DiZ for leaving him with no choice as he floated in this void he now called home.

Since he returned to Sora that is all he has been doing, cursing the two and Sora.

Now it wasn't entirely true that the boy was responsible for everyone screwing him over...okay maybe he was, but he was never directly involved with everything.

The Nobody knew that as he inherited all of Sora's memories so he knew the wasn't at fault.

And when he meant all of them, even the ones in Castle Oblivion.

The only thing Sora was truly guilty of was bringing him and Naminé into existence.

That and killing Marluxia and Larxene, two of the people he was the closest to in the Organization and while he disagreed with their methods he would have gladly joined them in overtrowing Xemnas. Along with Axel and someone else he couldn't remember...

That lead to his main issue, the people who manipulated him for his connection to Sora. Xemnas and DiZ, the people he wished to kill the most.

Xemnas may have given his name, a home, and a purpose, but the man was guilty of many things. Including robbing his memories of something or something important. They started coming back slowly over the month, and that opened up a whole new set of issues.

But it revealed the truth, Xemnas truly cared for no one in the Organization but himself and possibly Xigbar and Saïx. He sent everyone he suspected as a taitor to the Organization to Castle Oblivion to die by Sora's hand, had him create Kingdom Hearts for him, tried to manipulate him to somehow usurp Sora's existence if his memories were of any indication, stole his memories, and sicced an entire horde of Heartless, Nobodies, and Axel after him once he left the Organization. Possibly even making him kill his best friend, but since he pulled the same trick on Sora so he didn't know.

He honestly wished that Axel was alright right now as he seemed to have left the Organization if Sora's memories were of any indication.

Anyway besides that, he had even more reason to despise DiZ then Xemnas.

He sent Riku after him, mistreated Naminé and dispised the two of them for simply being Nobodies, and tortured him by not only erasing his memories and giving him a false life, but he also left him no choice to merge with Sora.

Honestly he was perfectly willing to kill the two for what they done with him, if he could ever leave Sora that is.

He had merged almost completly with Sora, except for his own memories. Roxas wasn't willing to lose the one thing that seperated himself from his Somebody.

The Nobody was jsut content to float in this void until either he faded away or if the time calls for it take over Sora. DiZ probably never expected that.

Due to their former existence of being compreatly seperate from each other as a pseudo Heartless and Nobody, their bond was unstable at best. Honestly Roxas figured that was the reason that he hadn't faded away yet. Still through he found out that of he wished to do so, he could drag Sora back into whatever this void was and possibly over power him.

But Roxas didn't want to for two reasons.

First he wanted his own body back, not Sora's body.

Second, it didn't sit well with him to posses Sora and erase him from existence just to take back his own. Sora had so many people that actually cared for him, while he only had Naminé and Axel and the both of them probably thought that he was gone. It would devastate everyone close to him if he were just to take over Sora.

So he would leave Sora be for now and just watch as he progresses through the worlds. Only possessing him if he has no choice but to save Sora's body as a last ditch atempt to save them both. Or if something comes up that forces him to take control of Sora.

Roxas decided that until such a moment arises, he would just stay here lemanting his nonexistence.

"Why can't I just fade in peace?" The Nobody questioned to himself, trying to hold his sanity together.

All he had left now was just to laze around and observe what Sora has experienced and to shift through his knowledge about the things he had accumilated through his Somebody's memories and the false ones created by Ansem.

They helped broden his knowledge of fighting and emotions, but they were practically useless without a body to use it or a heart to feel emotions.

So he was now stuck here with nothing to do but watch Sora.

The Nobody just sighed as he tried to make himself comfortable as he tried to take a nap. Not like he had anything else to do.

"I can understand why it had to be you Sora. Why you must exist at the cost of my own." Roxas sighed out as he felt sleep starting to take over. Maybe this time he will finally fade away in peace. It was better to do that then exist for eternity like this.

"Still it isn't fair at all. Sora you are beloved by the light feared by the darkness. I am however rejected by both. You were meant to exist, I was never supposed to in the first place. You get to have everything while I have nothing. It truly isn't fair." Roxas said somberly as sleep started to overtake him. "All I ever wanted was just a chance to exist like you do."

Soon darkness overtook him as he fell into a dreamless sleep, waiting for the end to come.

If this was anyother time, his silent prayer would have gone unanswered and he would remain trapped within Sora for the forseeable future.

However this time, his prayer was answered as he started to glow a soft silver in his sleep.

Unaware at that moment, his destiny was changing for the better.

"Okay this is new." Xigbar said as he and Xemnas observed the incomplete Kingdom Hearts that was illuminating their world.

It was the same as always, except it now had a azure glow around the edges of it.

"Indeed, I have never heard of such an occurnce." Xemnas said while gazing up at it as the glow faded. "It looks like it is over now though. Still, I wonder what the glow was? Kingdom Hearts is still incomplete so it couldn't have been that."

"Well whatever it is I'll see to it myself." Xigbar said, getting the Superior to nod.

"Very well, report back to me whatever you find Xigbar." Xemnas said as he teleported away.

"Sure whatever you say boss." Xigbar said as he observed the artificial Kingdom Hearts.

He knew exactly what it was.

Kingdom Hearts had just granted someone's request. Honestly it was borderline impossible unless you had the X-blade. Yet as Xehanort hadn't forged it thos should have been impossible.

But what made this interesting was this was an artificial Kingdom Hearts. An imcomplete one at that crafted by the hearts gathered by two, now three different Keyblade wielders and some of Vexen's brilliance to stabilze it.

Still something like this was impossible unless someome was extreamly connected to it's creation, otherwise such a request was treated as nothing more then a useless prayer.

There was only two people who meet that description and both of them were pretty much wiped clean from existence.

Unless...

"I always knew you were stubborn kiddo, but this takes the cake!" Xigbar laughed out.

It was the only explination.

Xion was wiped from existence completly and no one else remebered her, leaving only one suspect.

Roxas.

When he had merged back with Sora, he must've been stubborn enough to cling onto what was left of his existence in order to not be fully asorbed back into his Somebody. He must've wished for the one thing anyone in his situation must've wished for and what all Nobodies desired the most.

To exist as their own person.

Something only Xemnas, Roxas, and Naminé could only achieve.

By some miracle it seemed like his wish was going to become a reality now.

Well now that he was out in the open again it was time to bring him back in.

And he needed help.

Training his arrowgun right next to him, he shot into the floor and with a flicker of light the younger incarnation of Xehanort appeared.

"What is it." He asked.

"Roxas is seperate from Sora once again." Xigbar said, shocking the time traveler.

"Impossible, he shouldn't even exist right now." Xehanort said.

"Well he is. The kiddo is stubborn enough to have clung onto a minor existence until a miracle happened and it did." Xigbar said while pointing at Kingdom Hearts, getting Xehanort to nod in understanding.

"Then you have summoned me to help look for him then." Xehanort said.

"Yup, and I suggest we start now. There is no telling where he is." Xigbar said, getting the time traveller to nod. The two summomed two seperate Corridors of Darkness walked through them, beginning their search.

An outstretched hand was about to touch a green portal, but it flickered out of existence right before he could touch it.

"Well there goes my dreams then." Saito Hiraga sighed out disappointedly.

Saito was painstakingly average and he disliked it, so when he saw a portal straight out of an isekai anime on his way home, he took his chances and reached out for it. He was going to go to another world and if he was lucky enough get himself a harem of beatiful women.

But as luck would have it, the portal closed and his dreams were crushed before his eyes.

Saito then began to think that maybe he had dodged a bullet there.

He would have been stranded on an unkown world with nothing but the clothes on his back with no way back and facing possible unkown dangers at said world.

Dying alone on a different world far away from his parents who would worry themselves to death if he disappeared wasn't worth the potential to have a harem of his own.

"Whoever steps through wherever that portal reopens at better be worth my crushed dreams." Saito said as he resigned himself to his average life. "If they are, then I wish them nothing but luck. They are probably going to need it."

With that he began to walk home, lamenting what could have been.

My slave somewhere out in the universe.

Roxas woke up with a start as someone's voice echoed throught the void. He looked around for the source of the voice only to find nothing.

"I swear to Kingdom Hearts, if I find out that someone else is in here I'm leaving Sora immediatly." Roxas said as he summoned his Keyblades. He wasn't pleased with the idea of being trapped within his Somebody with someone else.

My beautiful, powerful, and divine familiar.

Roxas tried sense where the voice was coming from, but to no avail as it seemed to originate from outside of Sora.

The Nobody decided to temporaily possess Sora to see where the voice came from.

A moment later he saw that he was in the cockpit of the Gummi ship, meaning the voice must've been broadcasting to him magically. Roxas left control to Sora shortly after, leaving his Somebody confused on what just happened and a major headache.

Back in the void, Roxas was also confused.

Why was someone trying to communicate to him magically?

He hardly knew anyone truly and most of them are dead or think he his dead.

So who was contacting him and why?

Heed my guidance!

With that spoken space began to fold in one itself before a green portal opened up infront of him.

Roxas pointed his Keyblades at the portal, waiting to see what came through. After what seemed like a few minutes of waiting, he dispelled his Keyblades and focused his senses on the portal, gauging what was on the other side.

What he could tell was that there was a wide verity of people on the other side along with a verity of different creatures. Each of them with a strong heart and each of them balanced.

On the other side was a whole new world, one possibly that Sora or the Organization never knew about.

Roxas then relised what this portal really was.

An escape from his fate.

If he had a heart it would be trying to leap out of his chest, because of how happy it was. So instead Roxas just let the first genuine smile to grace his face.

This is what he was looking for, a way to escape from Sora. And if his guess was right then he could safetly pass through the portal and Sora would be alright. He did survive his first journey and defeated the likes of Ansem and Marluxia without him even to merge with him. So he was pretty confident that Sora would be okay without him.

So Roxas took a quick invitory of what items he possessed and counted up the munny he had on hand just incase there was no Moogle on that world.

Once he he was satisfied with what he had, the Nobody turned to face away from the portal.

"Sora I don't know if you can hear this, but all I have to say to you is good luck and if it is possible give Xemnas and DiZ as much trouble as you can for whatever they are planning. They deserve every little bit." Roxas said, dobting that his Somebody even heard him. But he needed to get that off his chest before leaving.

Meanwhile a now very confused Sora was wondering why he wanted to punch someone named Xemnas and DiZ in the face and why he felt like they deserved it.

With that in mind Roxas faced the portal and threw his hood up before reaching out towards it.

"Here goes nothing." He said as his fingers brushed against it.

The portal immediatly began to suck him in. Seeing as how it was going a bit to slow for his tastes, Roxas rushed through it. Ready for the chance to exist once again as himself. A moment later he entered through the portal completly and it closed behind the Nobody, leaving nothing behind as his new life begun.

The projector died down as the chapter ended and you find the author munching on some popcorn.

*Hey guys Hakuorofan7 here and I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Anyway now that it is done, let us get down to business shall we.*

*As I mentioned this earlier I was only covering the very beginning and nothing in Halkeginia. Truth is that my knowledge of the series is very rusty and I'm going to be working until I release the next chapter organizing the canon of the anime and novels until I can make a very clear cut of the story to work on. Something that will take at least until the summer.*

*It will take as long as not only do I have to watch the anime and read the novels, but of a few different reasons. The most prominent being that I have to help with something for my family. The least prominent being I'm swamped with anime to watch right now. It is going to take a bit to clear up the latter and even longer for the former, but once I have done so I will continue this story.*

*Well with that said it is time to move on.*

*First is the harem, suggestions are open and the first slot goes to the tsundere mage, Louise. I loved how DrWriter21 wrote the chemistry between the two. Honestly it is going to be difficult for me to recapture that and I've only had brief experience writing a tsundere, but I'll give it my all. So with that done, feel free to send me suggestions.*

*Second is the next chapter, that will be longer and cover Roxas's first time on Halkeginia. So I hope you all will enjoy that.*

*So with that out of the way if you have any questions send me a review or a PM and I'll get back to you while I can. Until then, I'll see you all later!*

The author waves goodbye before snapping his fingers, causing the screen to fade to black.
