This is something I wrote for another web site. I know it isn't the best so you don't have to tell me.

Warning: There are OC people in my story. I can think of three top of my head.

Disclaimer: If I owned it, you would never see them and Kairi would of died.

This means that they are thinking- or it means flashbacks

The shadows were watching Destiny Island. The island itself was not all that great in appearance to outsiders. It looked like any other tropical island you would see. It had trees, a beach, a big tree house and the ocean. But it was not the island itself that made the island stand out. It was the people who called it home who it made it so great. Two of the Keyblade Masters lived there and it was getting time for them to meet the shadows master.

Shadows were very proud of themselves for keeping an eye on the keyblade master. They had been told earlier that one of the Keyblade Masters was still fearful of the darkness and could not touch the pure burning light that his friends seem to give off. He was trapped in the feeling of guilt of what he had done to them and he could not escape it.For many moons they had been watching the island, hoping to find out who it was. Lurking in the shadow of the mind of each person who lived there, watching the dreams hoping to find something or anything that could cue them in to the one person. Finally after many nights of searching they found him.

Soon ,they whispered to each other. Soon they will meet our master and get what they deserve. All will be right in the balance, very soon…

He was having that dream again once more. It was when he and Sora were fighting; the fight took place when he was with darkness and didn't care what happen to Sora. Every night he was force to watch the same battle. At the moment he couldn't tell what he was afraid of more: the dream or the darkness. Sometimes they were the same as how it happened in life and other nights it was a lot worse.He even started where he couldn't be near his friends due to the dreams. He would never tell them that, it would only make them worry about him. Something caught his eye and he hope that it was the end of this nights dream. It was just getting worse. He wished that he hadn't look.

" Riku! Stop listening to the darkness and hear my voice!" Sora shouted over the sound of battle. "Please listen to me, I beg of you."

"No," He echoed back. "Unlike you, the darkness is my friend." Once more they started to fight again. Over and over they returned each other's attack until one of them was too tired to go on. Finally his dream-self saw his chance to finish it once and for all. And he took it with full intent.

Thud, Sora watch helplessly as his keyblade being thrown across the floor and he gazed into the eyes of his once best-friend looking down at him.

Riku…

Sora looked at his friend face to see what kind of expression he had. He couldn't tell from looking at it. Whatever he was feeling at the moment he wasn't showing it. So this is where it is going to end Riku. For some reason I just can't bring myself to hate you.

Time seemed to stop for the two keybladers. Sora closed his eyes and said,"Killing me, will this free you from your fears and make you happy?"

He couldn't say anything but look down at the tired and exhausted boy. For some reason he look so peaceful, even though he thought he was going to die.

His eyes still closed Sora continued on,"You can do anything you want to me, but if you kill me. I want you to do something…."taking a big breath as if it was his last. "…take care of Kairi for me. You'll be all that she has left." "She probably won't understand it. Just take care of her, ok Riku?"With that said Sora opens his eyes, looked at Riku and smiled.

He couldn't believe what he just heard. He lost the will to speak but gazed into the boys' deep blue eyes. They appeared so peaceful and calm. He wonders why they were like that.What would he have to do to have that kind of feeling? He never had the dream like this. It always ended terrible. The dreams were beginning to blur altogether; it was hard to remember what really happen.His body seemed to move on its own and next thing he knew his keyblade was touching Sora's throat. Sora's face didn't change but he realized the choice his friend made.

He looks at Sora's face one more times and turns around.

"Go, find Kairi and the others." His voice sounded hollow to Sora as if he was fighting an unknown urge. "I'll try to buy as much time as I can Sora."

He turned around and looked at Sora and shouted.

"GO, find Kairi, beat Ansem, and destroy the darkness!'

Sora didn't know what came over Riku but he nodded. As he was running out of the room, he thought he heard Riku whispered

"…and free me…"

The darkness came and swallowed him. The nights' circle had ended and it was time for him to return to the real world. For some reason the dream didn't leave with the feeling of dread that it usually does when it leaving. It gave him some weird type of hope or whatever the feeling is called.Little did he know that the shadows had been watching him during the dream. The leader of the shadows smiled. Now it was time for things to get interesting.

Author Note: That was the first chapter. I forgot to say at the top, this is one year after Kingdom Hearts. Hope you people like it. Sorry for all spelling and grammar mistakes and I know I have a problem with the present tense thing. I'll try to fix it.
