Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, Fullmetal Alchemist, nor Final Fantasy

I was sure of only one thing and that was I could not see a damn thing. What was up with the whole darkness thing, anyways? Every time I was having a dream...darkness. I do know, though, that this was not a dream. I was either dead or dying, but it made me feel funny and I didn't mean haha funny. I couldn't feel any pain, even though I just got hit by a truck. Seeing as Kairi wasn't anywhere in sight, I take it she made it out alive. I wouldn't want my efforts to be wasted. The only thing I regret is leaving Riku and my mother behind. I wonder what Riku is up to...I really hope he's okay.

As if on cue, I heard Riku's voice. He was crying. Somewhere deep inside, my heart twisted and turned.

Sora. Please wake up. I don't want to lose you.

There was nothing I could do, since I couldn't really move. All I could do was listen to Riku cry over my body. Another voice came up and I knew right away, it was Saix.

Riku, you know that he is going to die soon. The only way to make sure he doesn't fully die is to Change him and you know this.

You're saying you want me to damn him to this life?! How could you say that?

Don't act as if you don't know what has to happen in order to save this boy. You don't have much time until his heart completely stops beating.

I looked myself over and realized that my body was fading. Becoming a vampire meant going through a lot of pain. I wish there was someway to tell Riku I wanted to stay by his side forever.

Before I could do anything, darkness swept over me. There I go with the darkness thing, but this time, unbearable pain hit me from head to toe. I balled my fist up and waited to die and disappear from this world.

My eyes opened and everything was blurry. After a few minutes my eyes came back to focus and I could clearly see that I was in a hospital room. I looked over to see Riku, with blood all over his face, sitting next to my bed on a chair.

"Riku..." was all I could manage to say. It even hurt to talk and breathe.

Looking over, Riku stared at me and grabbed my hand softly. He knew what I was going through since he had gone through this at a much younger age.

"Sora, how are you feeling?" he asked.

"Painful." Nothing much else to say. Like I said, it really hurt to talk.

He leaned closer and started whispering in my ear. "I had to Change you, Sora. It was the only way. I hope you can forgive me."

I smiled as best as I could. How could I not forgive him? I wanted to be a vampire so I can live with him forever. That's when a thought popped into my head.

"How is the heart monitor beeping?" I asked. Vampires were dead creatures. They weren't supposed to have a heartbeat.

"Saix rigged the machine before he left."

So Saix was here at one point.

The door opened and my mom walked in. She looked at me with exhausted eyes. Her lips curved in a smile and she ran over to me.

"My Baby!! Are you okay? How do you feel? Do you want me to get you anything?" she asked going at a fast rate.

I shook my head and said, "No thanks, Mom. I'm fine. Just a little sore."

Riku smiled at the scene. I bet he thought it was amusing that my mom was suffocating me. I smirked over at him, not realizing that that was a mistake until after I felt pain shoot through my head.

Kairi had made it out with nothing but scratches and bruises. She came to visit me at some point. That whole time she was there, she continually asked for my forgiveness, which I told her I forgave her the first time. Finally, she left as other classmates walked in and chatted with me. Even teachers of mine, with the exception of Ansem, came to visit me.

After it got dark, everyone stopped visiting and Mom went to sleep. I was exhausted, but for some reason I couldn't sleep. It took me a while to realize that it was because of the Change. Riku looked at me with apologizing eyes when he noticed that I was tired.

"I'm sorry, Sora. You will learn to get used to it in time. Another thing, when you get out of here, the local vampires are having to attend a meeting."

"What is the meeting about?" I asked, sitting up since it was pointless to attempt to sleep.

"You. Every time a new vampire is born or one is Changed, then we hold a meeting to greet everyone. I doubt everyone will be there since most of them will be off in other countries, doing missions for their Superiors. I will be there since I am the one who Changed you, which brings me to another point. That means, I am your Superior."

He sighed as he told me this. I could tell he did not want me to share the same fate as him. Too bad now. He was going to have to get used to that and me serving him...not a problem. Anything he asks me of, I will do.

"Riku, I'm glad that you are the one to be my Superior and not anyone else."

Glaring at me, Riku walked over. "It was against my wishes, but I really had no other choice. I did not want Saix to Change you, because he isn't the most merciful vampire."

I wondered what Saix made Riku do in the past. I doubt it was fun things like going to the state fair and riding a pony. Don't ask okay...

We talked all night and stopped when Mom woke up. When she opened her eyes, it was morning and the sun was just coming up. She walked over and touched my forehead.

"Did you get enough sleep? How are you feeling?" she asked.

"I got plenty of sleep, Mom. I feel fine. When can we go home?"

I was getting sick of staying in that bed. It was boring and made my joints stiff. I guess vampires aren't as perfect as humans think. Human...Funny how I already refer to them as "humans" right?

The doctor walked in and gave me a check over. His eyes widened as he realized something. "Your boy seems as if he never got hurt with the exceptions of a few scrapes and bruises. He can go home now."

We got everything together and I changed into clothes Mom had brought from home. When I felt the sun hit my face, I immediately felt a little bit of energy draining from me. Riku whispered, "It'll get better once you get used to everything."

Mom made me get into the bed and rest when I got home. Since I really didn't feel like arguing I obeyed without a complaint.

When I arrived to my bedroom, Riku was sitting on my bed. Somehow, I had sensed him before I even got up the stairs. It must have been another sense of the vampire race. I kind of liked it, because now I can tell whenever someone tries to sneak up on me.

"You ready?" he asked as he stood up.

I raised my eyebrow and said, "Go where? Huh?"

Riku sighed and walked up to me, kissing my lips gently. "To the meeting of course. Let's go."

Looking at Riku I sighed and nodded my head as we walked towards a black portal.
