A/N: Alright this is the second ending, I like this one a little bit better than the other (mostly cause I don't like happy endings)

This is a slightly darker version I guess, its not that bad, I'm not sure. Anyway, this is the final chapter of Shatter and I hope you enjoy. Please review if you can, let me know how I did!

Riku hovered above Sora, or what used to be his best friend, his own eyes filled with sadness and pity. Rage soon replaced sadness as crimson glistened from its fangs. This beast was no longer his friend; Sora was just as dead as the others they lay about, their hearts absent from them. This heartless, monster, shell, would feel that seething rage and the non existing shards of his old friend would feel his mercy.

Reaching down to free his keyblade from his flesh, Riku stopped when something slammed into his side, causing him to fall over onto the floor. Kairi now stood above Riku, tears cascading down her cheeks. Her emotional confusion and distress was obvious on her face. Riku pulled himself up from the ground, in pain and far from pleased. Knowing what Riku was going to do, Kairi stretched her arms out wide, standing between the two.

"Kairi! Move aside!" Riku yelled, not willing to deal with such nonsense. When the young woman held her ground, Riku grabbed her roughly by the shoulder and pushed her out of his way. The silver-haired boy reached down once more and grabbed the hilt of his blade. With swift movement, Riku jerked the keyblade free from Sora's body, his blood pouring onto the carpet, the dried blood burned from the blade falling lightly like red snowflakes sank into the fluid. The beast gave a small whimper and tried to stand, but it was too weak and collapsed back into a bleeding pile.

Riku placed the tip against where Sora's heart once was and raise his blade to strike. He would make it quick. He thrust the sword downwards but had but only a second to stop his actions when Kairi yet again jumped in front of him, throwing his arms around the black mass, sobbing. Another second and she would have had his keyblade between her eyes. Though, the fact that she was holding the thing that had brutally murdered their close friends and was feral as any animal made him feel his almost mistake would not have been a problem.

It seemed to go so slow, the events seemingly dragging on for hours, but the reality was only a few seconds.

Kairi could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she stared at Riku from below. He poised his keyblade at Sora's heart. Her whole body ran cold at the thought, that Sora would be dead. She couldn't, wouldn't accept it. She loved him, loved Sora with everything, and she knew deep down he was still in there somewhere. If he could be saved, they'd never know if Riku kept going. It seemed to go so slow, the events seemingly dragging on for hours, but the reality was only a few seconds. She couldn't think, everything was happening so fast, and found her body moving on its own, clumsily hurrying across the floor to Sora, her arms taking hold of his icy black body.

She feared Riku more than she could ever fear Sora as the Keyblade almost pierced her, stopping and touching the bridge of her nose. She would rather let him take her life than Sora's. Scared she held onto tighter, a small whimper came from Sora's mouth and it began to twitching madly under her grasp.

"sora." Kairi's words came out as a soft, pained whisper. "i love you."

At her words, the twitching ceased, and for a moment, Kairi believed her words had reached him, reached that last spark of humanity inside of him. He twisted his up towards Kairi with a strange look on its black face, like that of a curious puppy. She smiled, there was that light she was looking for. She laughed a small laugh of happiness and rested her chin on his shoulder. His hair tickled her cheek as it always had.

Sora brought his face up the her neck in the same manner she had, sniffing lightly at the skin.

Riku stared at the two shocked at the power of one of the Princess of Heart, the returning of humanity. He knew she had returned Sora to human form back once before in Hollow Bastion, but he had never thought she could pull him back twice. He gave a sad smile. Sora was returning, but the pain would be unbearable for his to handle. The silver haired boy allowed his keyblade to disappear and limped over to Kairi and Sora.

she has such a sweet, kind heart

pure and filled with light

succulent and sweet

"Riku! Sora, he's alright n-" Kairi's cheers turned suddenly to screams as Sora bit down hard on her neck, sinking its black fangs into her soft neck. Before Riku could even register what was happening, Sora jerked his head back, ripped out a large chunk of her flesh and vessels with him. Blood squirted out rapidly from her neck and her skin turned a pure white as she desperately tried to cover the wound with her hands.

Riku tried to summon his keyblade when Sora's claws shot out, scratching him deep across his chest. Sora leapt back, leaving Riku to hold Kairi in his arms. White as a ghost and soaked in her own blood, he tried his best at curative magics only to realize this wasn't something that could be healed, or fixed, or ignored. The blood loss and heartbreak would kill her, was killing her. Blue was losing its light and Kairi could barely keep her eyes open.

Grabbing his keyblade tightly, his eyes found Sora on all fours twitching hungerly, wanting to finish his meal. He lunged forward, aiming for Kairi, but Riku would not allow it. Moving himself in front of her Riku thrust his blade forward, slicing through him like butter as Sora's claws slid through his chest, the sharp nails piercing deep into his heart. Blood dribble down from the corner of his mouth before he collapse down next to Kairi.

Sora howled and screamed as the keyblade lodged itself in the place his heart used to be. Fresh blood began to ooze and dry and its twitching became even more violent. Black began to lighten into tan and the glow of gold orbs turned back into the color of the sky. Sora's body began to transform back into his human form, blood his own and of others staining forever his cloths, skin, and consciousness.

The light did not, however return to his eyes as the keyblade stuck in his chest took away his last breath.

"Kai-" Sora could not finish his final word as he fell over and landed ontop of Kairi, his face resting in the torn crook of her neck.
