AUTHORS NOTE: ok here is chapter 2. after this chapter the chapters will get longer and funner! But for now enjoy this chapter.

After the news report Kasai would spend her night roaming around campus hoping to see the unversed. But there was one problem, if she did see any, how would she defend herself? Since she has been back in her world, she wasn't able to summon her keyblade. It was around 2 am when Kasai decided to sit down underneath a tree. She leaned against it and was starting to get comfortable. Her eyes began to slowly close as she blissfully drifted off into sleep. Even though the wind was cold, she felt warm inside. As she sleep she saw her and Ventus asleep against the tree back in the Enchanted Dominion. She could feel his warm hold, his caring grasp, and his soft fingers stroking through her hair.

"Fire!" A young male voice yelled, waking her from her sleep. She jumped up from her seat and looked around in the darkness hoping to see Ventus. "Thunder!" The voice yelled again, this time from her left. The voice was farther away this time, but she knew where it was coming from. She followed the sounds of darkness being destroyed, all the way to the memorial fountain. There she saw a shadow of a boy with spikey hair run into an alley. "Heal!" A green aura came from the alley and Kasai ran as fast as her legs could carry her.

"Ventus, wait!" She yelled but the figure kept running. He rounded another corner and out of sight. Kasai's breathes were now starting to run short, ever since she had been back in this world, she had begun to get lazy. But she pushed herself to her limit, she rounded the corner and the boy was gone. She looked into the streets and down alley ways and nothing. She sighed heavily walking back to her dorm room. She was so close, if only she had ran faster. She would've reached him, then she could've been with her love again.

Kasai decided to stop by the fountain and rest for a moment. She looked into the water as she sat on the fountains edge. Her eyes they were a pale blue and not as lively as they had once been. She frowned looking at the shell of her former self. She then knew she made the wrong decision returning home. She threw her hand into the water and turned away from the disappointing vision she saw. She wrapped her arms around and sat shivering in the cold. She sighed again and saw the white air leave her mouth. Why is it that when you look for something the hardest, you can never find it?

Kasai shook her head, she felt like all of this was a hopeless cause. She made her decision back in Kingdom Hearts and there was no going back. But deep down inside the light from Ventus' heart shone bright, giving her hope that one day she would be back with him one day.

"All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different," Kasai heard a dark deep voice echo around her. "Darkness sprouts within it, grows and consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to darkness. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness from whence it came." Kasai stood up and growled at the voice. She then saw a cloaked figure standing by a tree. "You see, darkness is the hearts, true essence."

"You're wrong!" She charged at the figure in black but then it too disappeared into darkness. Kasai grumbled to herself and she could feel her heart growing into darkness. "So he was talking about me." She placed a hand on her heart and closed her eyes. "Ven, I know you are in there. And I know you are my light, so please stay strong. Just until I can free you and bring you back."

Then, in a small still voice she could hear Ventus, "Kasai, your heart is so warm. May I stay here, just for a little while?"

Kasai looked up at the stars and saw a shooting star. "Ven, stay as long as you need to." With that Kasai walked back to her dorm room and went into a sound sleep.

The sun rays beamed through the blinds on the window and landed on Kasai's closed eyes. The girl yawned sleepily as she rose from bed. She rubbed her eyes and waited for her vision to adjust before she read the time. Kasai gasped, for the clock read 4 pm. She had missed all of her classes! Kasai groaned as she fell back down on to her bed. Then the clicking of the tumbler lock grabbed her attention. She looked at the door and saw Kirsten walk in. "Hey," Kasai said with a sleepy and sluggish tone.

"You missed class again didn't you?" Kirsten threw her book bag on the ground and sat on her bed, giving Kasai a disapproving stare. The sleepy girl sighed and nodded her head. "Kasai that is the second time this week that you have missed your classes."

"I know. I know."

"You need to stop roaming around late at night. Not only is it dangerous but it is affecting your health." Kasai didn't say anything, she just frowned, looking at the ground. "Kasai, I know you think that this boy is Ventus and that these creatures are the ones from your dream world. But you have been doing this for a week and still nothing." Kasai refused to believe that though, especially after last night. "Kasai, for your own safety, I am going to make sure that you stay here tonight."

Kasai looked up at her roommate in anger and frustration, "You can't treat me like a child!" She stomped her foot and rose from her bed. "I am an adult and you can't stop me from saving my friend!"

"You're friend isn't real Kasai! It was all a dream!" Now Kirsten was getting mad as she stood from her seat as well to face her roommate.

"No! I know what I felt and saw! Ventus loved me and our love was real!" Kasai clenched her fist and growled.

"No it wasn't!"

"Yes it was! Why doesn't anybody understand me?!" With that Kasai ran out the door and into the field outside of her dorm building. Kasai ran to a bench with tears cascading down her face. She sat down and placed her face in the palm of her hands. "I know you are real Ventus," the young dishearten girl sobbed.

Just then there was a loud ear piercing shriek. Kasai's head bolted up and looked in front of here. There, standing before her, was a horde of those creatures from the news. The unversed. She jumped from her seat and ran toward the large group of these black creatures. As she grew closer she realized she had never seen unversed like this before. She ran into the middle of the field, quickly grabbing the creatures' attentions. They moved slowly toward the young girl, almost like they were twitching. She stood strong, feet apart, fist clenched, as she grit her teeth. Just then a boy with spikey brown hair, piercing blue eyes, wearing a black outfit, and holding a keyblade that Kasai had never seen before jumped in front of her and destroyed the creature.

The boy turned to look at her, and then he started to push her. "You have to get out of here!"

"No! I'm not leaving!" Kasai moved away from his push and stood in front of him. Then a white duck, with a wand and wearing blue clothes ran up followed by an anthromorphic dog wearing yellow pants, a green shirt and carrying a shield.

"Please leave, I don't want you to get hurt!" The boy protested again, after killing another creature.

"No! I won't leave, not until you take me back to Kingdom Hearts!" She ran up to the boy who froze still. He looked at her in confusion, his mouth slightly open and his eyes curious. At that moment a few of the creatures attacked Kasai, tackling her to the ground. They scratched at her, tearing her clothes and flesh. She yelled out in pain as she struggled to get away from them. The boy saw what was going on and ran to help her but then larger versions of these creatures appeared and formed a wall between him and her. Kasai could feel herself loosing strength, her eyes became heavy and she could feel her heart slipping away.

"KASAI!" She heard Ventus yell from within her. And with that her keyblade, Flames of Desire, materialized in her hand. Kasai knocked the creatures off of her and stood up to fight the rest off.

"Heal!" She yelled as the green aura surrounded her, healing all her wounds. The spikey haired boy, and his two companions looked at her in awe. They watched as she easily took down the rest of the horde. Using magic that was beyond their knowledge, and preforming moves that had never seen. Within a matter of minutes the creatures were gone. Kasai smiled confidently as her Keyblade disappeared. "Still got it." She wiped the sweat off her upper lip and walked over to the trio. "Now, take me back to Kingdom Hearts."

"Wait, first off, how do you know about Kingdom Hearts?" The white duck squawked.

"It's a long story, but I need to return to save a friend of mine."

"Who's ya friend?" The dog asked with a goofy voice.

"His name is Ventus. We were best friends and he is in trouble. Please take me back so I can help him." The dog and duck looked at each other in surprise, and with a smile.

"Kasai?" The dog and duck said in unison.

At that moment she knew she had met these two before, "Donald? Goofy?" The two animals ran toward Kasai and hugged her as she hugged them. "I can't believe it's you."

"Where did you go?" Goofy asked, pulling away from her.

"Yen Sid, said that I could either stay there or return home. I decided to come home, as you can tell. But now I want to go back and save Ventus. He is asleep in my heart and I want to wake him up."

"Where is he now?" Donald quacked.

"I don't know where he is sleeping, after I left I think Aqua took him somewhere. Speaking of Aqua, where is she? And where is Terra? And Mickey?"

"You know King Mickey?" Now it was time for the spikey haired boy to ask the questions.

"Yeah, Ventus and I were friends with Mickey. He saved me and Ventus when we fought Vanitas and Xehanort."

"You know who Xehanort is? Ok this is getting too much, let's start over." The boy cleared his throat with a smile and reached out his hand. "Hi, my name's Sora. I'll try and help ya find your friend."

Kasai smiled and took his hand and shook it. "My name is Kasai." They pulled their hands apart and stood in front of each other. "So are you taking me back or not?"

"Yeah, but first we have to go tell the king and Yen Sid that you are here," Donald said as he and Goofy began to walk to an alley.

"Yen Sid should know where to find Ven," Goofy said as they rounded a corner and into an alley way. There Kasai saw a strange looking multicolor ship with lasers on the side.

"What's that?" Kasai stopped and stared at the machine for a few moments.

"It's a Gummi ship. You don't know what a Gummi ship is?" Sora questioned the girl.

"No, back when I was in Kingdom Hearts this was how we got around," Kasai hit the circle on her chest and her armor formed around her and her glider appeared in front of her.

"WHOA!" Sora geeked out as he paced around her, looking at her amour and glider up and down. "That's amazing. But I bet it's not faster than the Gummi Ship!"

"Oh? You think so?" Kasai said confidently with a smirk underneath her helmet.

"I know so!"

Kasai looked at Sora who had his arms crossed over his chest with a smug look plastered on his face. "You're on!"

"Alright!" Sora jumped into the strange machine, ready to go.

"This isn't going to be good," Donald sighed as he and Goofy joined Sora in the cockpit. Kasai flew up beside their machine and had her glider ready to go. Then a portal opened in front of the two.

"Ready?" Sora's voice asked Kasai.

"Set?"

"GO!" They both yelled in unison as they dashed off into the portal.

The portal closed in the alleyway and there stood a young man with white hair. He watched as they sped off into nothingness and said with an evil smile on his face, "It seems my old enemy had paired with my new enemies. This will be interesting."
