Thanks for the reviews. And thankfully, the SoraxKairi lovers haven't killed me yet, thus I can up date. Yay. R&R.

What the fuck? Was the first thing he thought when he saw the person. He stood there, shocked. "It's good to see you again boy. I see you're shocked to see me." Said the green faced woman. As usual, she was garbed in black robes, horns on her head, staff at hand: Malifiacent hadn't really changed, or stayed dead. Only now, her eyes were a familiar yellow...the eyes of a heartless. He grimaced, and got in a fighting stance, but didn't move to strike. "How the fuck did you crawl out of he grave." "You give me too much credit. I couldn't of been resurrected if it wasn't for that friend of yours." "Riku" Sora muttered, but Malifacent could hear him. "Yes. Quite amazing isn't he. You see. Riku is no longer completely human. He, in a sense, is half heartless. But his heart is safe. It is somewhere you will never guess or find. I don't even know. Why don't you join him. After all, if you can't beat em, join em. And I am quite sure that he can't be beaten." "Malifacent. Are you using him? You better stop it if you are." "No no no. You have it all wrong. I am under his control. My heart is in the palm of his hand, and if I don't obey, then I will be dead. And my orders are to be sure that you are wiped from the face of this earth."

Suddenly, heartless began appearing every where, and the witch disappeared. "Come out and fight me." Him and the heartless began an assault on each other. His blade went through some of them like butter, others were a bit harder. When he thought he was done, twice as many appeared out of nowhere. "That bitch." He began his flurry of attacks again, but more and more kept on appearing. While he was dealing with a Large Body, an Wyver was coming from behind, and he realized too late. But the blow never came. He then saw the white haired woman garbed in black, standing there, sword at hand. "The others should be hear in a minute. The village was attacked by heartless. Don't be so reckless next time." she stated coldly. "Thanks Paine." They began their assault on the heartless again. It was a lot easier. She wasn't as swift as Rikku, but when she struck, she was extremely powerful.

Pretty soon, all of the heartless were gone. "Finally." Said Sora, finally feeling relieved. "Don't get comfortable just yet. Be on your guard." "Yeah and don't run off like that again." Said Donald, who just walked in with the rest of the group. "You could've gotten seriously injured if Paine hadn't been there." Stated Yuna, worry evident in her voice. "Sorry to make you worry. Oh, and I have some very bad news to share with you." He began telling them about Malifacents return and everything she told him, shocking the heck out of all of them in the process. "How the heck did he resurrect her?" "I don't think he did completely. Her eyes literally made her look like a heartless. He holds her heart right. Maybe she is actually a heartless now. After all, if Riku is half heartless, that means he can take peoples hearts and make them into heartless." "Oh poopie." "Yeah. Exactly. But... I still don't get why Riku hasn't gone off the deep end. Being a heartless thing and all." I still can't believe it. Riku... a heartless. I just can't stand it. Everything has been happening so fast. Then Leons words rung in his head, and it made him want to cry. We all need to make sacrifices. Your friendship might be on the line. Or even his life. What about his heart... his soul.

He started for the door that would lead deeper into the castle. An expression that would make Malifacent crawl back into her grave was spread across his face. All of this is just happening so fast... I feel like my heart will give out. He was tired. He was confused. He was needless to say, pissed. And he was very sick of it. His rage made his power and his aura soar around him. He felt like he was going insane. His power made the doors burst open, without even touching them. He just ran through the castle, completely ignoring the others calling for him to wait up. When heartless came out of the shadows to attack him, they were instantly killed by his raging aura. He felt like he wanted to reject the fact that Riku was half heartless with all of his body, mind, and soul: completely push the possibility from his heart. He was disgusted. But if he did that, that would mean rejecting Riku, one of his best friends. But now also a monster; something he killed And he didn't want to do that. So he didn't reject it, but he didn't accept it.

Right now he felt unstoppable. And he probably was. He stormed through halls after halls and corridors after corridors, looking for the vile individual who shared the recent unpleasant news with him. That bitch. That bitch. THAT BITCH. His friends were a little far behind. Rikku began "Wow. He sure is pissed. This Malifacent person really must have gotten on his bad side. The Sora that everyone talks about sounds nicer and more patient than that." Then Paine began "Yes. I agree. But we all have our limits. And she obviously hit a soar spot. But with the way he's going, I won't be surprised if we don't have to lend a hand." "I'm still worried. I have a bad feeling about all this. We need to catch up." Yuna finished the conversation. "Right Yunnie. Lets go."

Now quite a bit far behind, were Donald and Goofy. "Wait up. Stupid teenagers." Screamed Donald, who was almost as pissed as Sora. "They sure are fast aren't they?" "Heh. If we don't catch up soon, we're gonna lose them." "Ok. Hey guys wait up." And thus, they continued their useless struggle catch up. And they were only getting more slowed down when heartless showed up. "Great. Now we're never gonna catch up."

Sora was almost to the witches location. He could sense it. Your gonna die. And this time, you won't be crawlin outa your grave. He saw a pair of double doors, and sped up his pace as he ran toward them. But before he reached them, he was stopped by something very familiar: a barrier. It didn't matter though. He took out his key blade, and thrust it into the barrier. He hit it hard enough, that the barrier broke. Nothing was stopping him. He opened up the doors, and screamed into the room"Their you are, you stupid bitch." "Why so angry? Oh yeah. Your friend is a heartless beast. Forgot about that." "He is not. He... he loves Kairi. Heartless monsters don't love." "Oh. And how can you be so sure." "Just shut the fuck up. I hate you. I hate the heartless. I hate the darkness. But I don't hate Riku. No matter what you say. No matter what anyone says, I will never abandon any of my friends. And he's my friend you bitchy witch."

He screamed at her, then jumped about ten feet in the air, and went to land a blow in the sorceresses chest. And succeeded. She tried backing away, grasping her chest, but it was futile. Sora was insanely slashing and stabbing at her, making it impossible for her to run. But managed to get away, buy flashing a bright blue light in front of his face, and began disappearing into the darkness. "Come back here and fight me." "See you boy." She said, as she disappeared into darkness. But before she got away, he finally realized something. She didn't bleed. She really was a heartless. And perhaps Riku was to.

His friends ran in and found him. "Sora. Are you ok?" Asked Yuna. "I'm fine. But the witch got away. And I still have to find the keyhole." "Look no further." He noticed that a huffing and panting Donald and Goofy just walked in with three fairy looking people. (CHEESY. I know.) "We can reveal the keyhole, and we know where it is." in the middle of the room, the three of them gathered, and they began to glow, and so did the space in-between them.. Suddenly, a mirror appeared in the floor, and a rose covered keyhole appeared on the sealing. He pointed his key blade at the mirror, and a blue beam came out of it, hit the mirror, and then reflected into the keyhole. They heard a click, and knew that it had been sealed. The world was safe. They came out of the castle, and Sora looked at the stairs. Wonder what Kairi is doing right know. I what Riku is doing with her right now.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

He was awoken by something that was very unpleasant. So she failed. I guess I'll have to have a talk with her later. She can heal herself. He looked at the sleeping girl in his arms. "At least I have you, my love." He said, placing a tender kiss on her cheek. Tomorrow, I'll have to leave her alone because I have some things to tend to. "Sorry Kai." He closed his eyes and let sleep take him again.

I know. Short chapter. Sorry. R&R.
