Okay, I need more room on the summary thing to make it sound good, but this fan fiction is better than it sounds. It may seem OK at first, but you have to go into the later chapters for it to get really good, every friend I have at school likes it, and I'm sure you would too. Anyway, here's a complete summary:

SUMMARY:

There is darkness in every heart. Sora knows this, but when he uncovers the darkness in his heart, choas breaks. Riku and Kairi try to help him the best way they can, but it doesn't help much. Leon is there, but is unsure, but he acts more of a lookout than a friend, and no one knows why. That is until Riku discovers the Organization XIII spying on them. Then, that same night, he meets up with Axel, who was considtered an enemy for the past two days. Axel explains everything to Riku, but Sora, Sora is gone.

Sora had a few things cleared with him by Scalvatrx, a mysterious man who is neither ally, nor enemy, nor nuteral. He is all of them. Well once Sora and Riku are talking to one another about what they had learned, Kairigoes missing.

Meanwhile...

Xemnas, leader of Organization XIII has a plan that is full-proof in his eyes. No longer will he have to live in a city that is underground once he has a new Kingdom Hearts. He knows there is only one way to do that, but instead of forcing Sora to do it for him, he does it himself. But there are things blocking his way. One is Kairi and Riku. The other is Axel, Scalvatrx, Roxas, and Namine.

He tries to illemonate Axel and Scalvatrx, but is unsucessful. But he has something useful: Every single file from the Recreation Committee's computer. With it, he can get everyone's weakness out of them and kill them one by one. But there is a mystery to it all: Where is Cloud in all of this?

KINGDOM HEARTS

The Darkness Within

Chapter 1: The Keyblade Master

Sora, an eighteen-year-old, was back at the island, sitting on a log looking at the ocean's gentle tides. He was thinking of his battles from long ago with Goofy and Donald and of course, King Mickey. His friends were back, but he, in a way, missed the old battles. He hadn't even wielded the Keyblade in three years. The only thing that was the same, were the clothes he was wearing and his attitude. The garments the fairies had made for him seemed to grow with him.

Sighing, he was about to stand up, when he heard his name, "Sora…where'd you go?" Sora knew instantly who it was; it was Kairi, one of his best friends.

"I'm over here." he called out to her, standing up and waving. Kairi turned around from where she was standing a little ways off and looked at Sora, racing over to him. "So what's the rush?" he asked her.

"Riku and I want to see you for a moment." Kairi explained, pulling him away from where he had been sitting and towards the secret cave where Sora had first found the Keyblade.

Once inside, Sora found Riku waiting for him, looking at him with a blank expression. For some reason, Sora shivered at the sight of his friend. Riku had come out of the darkness and back into the light, but Sora still remembered his friend's betrayal. How Riku had become possessed by Ansem. Sora shook himself and asked, "What were you wanting to tell me?"

Riku looked at him with the old look he had once had, a friendly look, and answered, "We want you to tell us something."

"L-Like what?" Sora stammered. He hoped this wasn't about the fruit he had taken from Riku secretly yesterday.

"If you want sword fighting again, silly. I haven't watched you guys do that for along time." Kairi responded cheerfully, handing Sora a wooden sword.

Sora excepted it hesitantly. The last time had fought Riku, was when he was on the side of darkness. Riku seemed to notice Sora's hesitation, "Scared I'll beat you?" he teased.

Sora glanced at Riku, holding the sword, "No!"

"Then what is it?" Riku asked. When Sora didn't reply, he taunted him more for the fun of it, "You are scared aren't you? Don't worry, you're better than when we were last fighting here."

Sora nodded and told him they'd fight when they got to the small island right next to the island where they used to sword fight at. Riku excepted and raced off towards the island at once. Sora hung back as Kairi laid a hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry Sora, he's changed. It's not going to be like old times."

Sora looked at her, "I know that, but it's just hard to let the fact remain that he had gone onto the dark side."

"But that was Ansem's doing, not yours or his, and you know it." Kairi told him confidently.

Sora nodded and gripped his sword tightly before running after Riku. As he ran with the wooden sword, he thought again of the Keyblade. He was unsure if he even possessed it anymore, but he didn't really want to know because if he did posses it, that meant darkness was back.

Reaching the island, he raced up the bridge and towards Riku who was sitting, waiting on the tree that curved over the ocean. Riku turned to look at him, "What took you, Sora?" he asked, laughing slightly.

Sora didn't reply, instead he automatically took battle stance. Riku leapt down and copied him. Just as they were about to charge one another, Kairi came up and sat down, watching on the bridge. She called, "Ready…Set…Go!"

Sora leapt at Riku with his old skills. His arms move fluidly through the air as he reached out at Riku, flipping as he went with the wooden sword. His sword clashed with Riku's, causing both to land on the ground. Sora flashed a warning smile at Riku before charging again, silent. Upper cutting Riku, he scored his shoulder, but Riku didn't even flinch, instead he struck out, slamming his sword into Sora's side with intended force.

Sora gasped at the pain as he was thrown toward the edge of the island. He quickly retaliated by landing on his back and jumping to his feet and then into the air, sword raised. Sora slammed down at Riku with every ounce of strength in him. Riku raised his sword just in time. They clashed, but Riku's splintered. "Sora!" Riku complained, "Don't break it!"

"Ha, ha! Afraid you'll lose?" he repeated Riku's words as he jabbed out at Riku, his wooden sword crashing into the flat side of Riku's sword.

"No! I'm afraid you'll have to make me another wooden sword!" Riku growled.

That made Sora stop, "What do you mean 'make another wooden sword'! I'm not making another one for y-" but he was cut short as Riku took Sora's moment to let his guard down and struck him in the head.

Sora gasped as stars appeared before his head before falling…falling. He felt himself hit the water below, but he didn't fight. The salt water enveloped him as he sunk towards the bottom. The salty tang of the water filled Sora's mouth, but he barely tasted it. His eyes closed as consciousness left him and he was covered by darkness.

"Riku! You hit him too hard, and you know you're not supposed to hit Sora in the head!" Kairi shouted as she stepped into the water, racing to the spot where Sora had sunk. She was up to her waist when she was about to reach him.

"Yeah well, he was supposed to block it." Riku objected.

"Oh shut up and get down here and help me find-" Kairi was cut shot as a glowing light filled the water around her.

Riku and Kairi stared as Sora appeared out of the water, his eyes still closed. He was floating in the air, arms held out beside him. In his right hand, the Keyblade rested in his hand. Then, ever so slowly, he drifted back into the water, but in standing position, and in shallow water. His eyes opened slowly. He blinked and looked around him, the Keyblade in his hand.

"How did you-" Riku didn't finish his sentence, instead he let it hang in the wind.

Sora blinked, confused and then looked down in his right hand. He had thought it was the wooden sword, or the fact that he had fallen off the island and was conscious, instead he saw the Keyblade in his hand. His eyes grew wide with surprise, "Where did my Keyblade come from?"

"Sora! You're okay!" Kairi exclaimed, coming up to him. Sora looked at her. For some reason, he didn't feel any pain in his head where Riku had hit him; of course maybe he was subconscious of it.

"Yeah…what happened?" he asked, looking at the Keyblade once more and then at Kairi.

"You came out of the water with the Keyblade. What happened to your wooden sword?" Kairi asked suddenly, looking around for a floating piece of wood.

Sora…the darkness has returned…

Sora looked around, not realizing he was hearing a voice in his head.

And this time…

Sora looked at Riku and then Kairi, but neither was speaking. Riku's eyes stared at him and Kairi was still looking for his sword.

You will not have the help of your friends…

"Who's speaking? Show yourself!" Sora yelled out to an unknown person. Kairi turned to look at him while Riku leapt into the water.

"Sora, are you okay? There's no one speaking…" Kairi asked, wading up to him.

Sora, this battle is for you…

To show you who you really are…

"Who I really am…but what does that mean?" Sora muttered, not hearing the others.

You will understand soon enough…

Riku, who was waving his hand in front of Sora's face, finally shoved him a bit, causing Sora to fall into the water. Sora broke the fall, snapped out of the trance and looked up at Riku, "What was that for?"

"For ignoring me."

"But you didn't say anything!…Did you?"
