A lot of questions will be answered in this chapter, so anything that wasn't answered in previous chapters will be answered now.

Sora felt at a loss, but at the same time he felt a great relief as he lay unconscious. He had no idea where he was or what was happening, all he could see is darkness. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see any spec of light, or any other sign of life. Right when he though that he would stay in this darkness forever, the darkness completely vanished as it was being engulfed by the light. Soon enough he saw himself back at Castle Oblivion, but he wasn't there physically, he knew this because he could see right through himself. When he was going to question why he was here, he noticed two figures approaching him. He was too weak to take even take a defensive stance, let alone run away and hide, but he didn't care at the moment.

Konki: "Hahaha! I can't believe he actually fell for it!" Sora recognized the people right away, they were Konki and Kairai.

Kairai: "What did I tell you? 'Make a story believable enough, and you can fool anyone'. Luckily for us, Sora was easy enough to fool."

Sora: 'What? What're they talking about?' Luckily for Sora, the two girls were unable to see him.

Konki: "I still can't believe it though. 'We share a heart'. That was PRICELESS! Hahaha!"

Kairai: "No, no what was great was when we said that she wanted me to take her identity." Both girls burst out laughing, confusing Sora even more.

Konki: "Yeah, I can't believe that he fell for the data replica you got Seisei to make for you."

Kairai: "Yes that was a great help. Too bad the witch found out and took control of the replica, making it look like she was actually trust worthy."

Sora: 'Sh-she was a fake…from the very beginning…and…I thought that she was…really there.'

Konki: "Too bad she didn't tell youhow her powers and abilities work when we all use to be friends."

Kairai: "Are you kidding? We were never friends with her! We just used her to get stronger and to further our goal."

Konki: "Well that is true. Getting rid of all of the light in each world would have been twice as difficult if Kasai wasn't there to help train us."

Sora: 'Getting rid of all of the light in the worlds? H-How could they-?'

Kairai: "Yeah, but once she found out she tried to stop us. She even converted Ikusa to be on her side. And just as well, he was never a useful pawn. Master Xehanort would have been greatly disappointed if he saw that. Why in the world would he ever choose her to be the one make that one Keyblade I'll never know."

Sora: 'Xehanort? They know Xehanort?'

Konki: "Well master has his reasons, when we see him again we'll ask him."

Kairai: "I guess your right. Well then we'd better get to work, he won't revive himself." Sora was in utter shock, he couldn't believe what he was hearing, but right when things were starting to make sense, the world went back into darkness, and he could hear a faint voice in the distance.

Voice: "…ra….ora….ke up…So…..ra!" Sora slowly regained consciousness, to see that he was laying in a bed, obviously not in the Keyblade Graveyard anymore.

Riku: "Rise and shine Sleeping Beauty." Riku playfully pushed Sora, causing him to fall off of the bed and onto the floor. Now he was fully wake.

Sora: "What was that for Riku?"

Riku: "You were asleep for so long I thought you were dead." Riku chuckled at his statement, while Sora just looked pissed.

Sora: "Where are we? And what happened?"

Riku: "We're in the castle in Radiant Garden. And you passed out after your little scuffle with Kasai." Sora placed a hand over his heart, letting the memory of what happened flow back into his mind.

Sora: "That's right…I wonder what happened. Do you know Riku?" Riku just looked away, hoping to avoid answering. "You do know Riku, come on tell me, I need to know." Giving into his friend's request, Riku complied.

Riku: "I don't know the whole story, but I guess I give you the gist of what's been going on."

Sora: "That's all I ask."

Riku: "Well to start off Sora, you have to remember the first time you ever met Kasai."

Sora: "Do you mean here in Radiant Garden?"

Riku: "No before that."

Sora: "But I didn't meet her before."

Riku: "Yes you did. I should know, I was with you when you first met her."

Sora tried to remember, he thought back to his earliest memories. All of his earliest memories were clouded and fuzzy, making it hard for him to remember, but one stood out. He remembered a time when he and Riku first discovered the secret spot back home on the islands. They never noticed it before, so thought it would be fun to check it out, they were both kids at the time, they didn't know any better. When they went in, they were amazed at how big the inside was, they didn't expect to find something like this on their island. While Sora was exploring the secret spot, Riku noticed something behind a nearby rock and went to go check it out. Once he saw what it was he called Sora over to show him and he was shocked to see what Riku found.

Sora: "It was back on Destiny Islands, in the Secret Spot. We found her unconscious and decided to take her back home."

Riku: "That's right."

Sora: "But what does that have to do with anything?"

Riku: "You didn't know this, but once we dropped her off at your house, I went into town to see if anyone knew her. No one did, not a soul."

Sora: "So then, you knew…"

Riku: "Yes, I knew she was from a different world, but I didn't feel right telling you while she was unconscious, so I thought I should wait and tell, but over time, I forgot. Anyway, remember what happened when she woke up?"

Sora: "Yeah, I think so. She woke up and I was so happy because I didn't want to see her sleep her life away. When she was fully awake, I introduced myself, and she did the same. But that's all she would say. She didn't speak at all after that, then later that night, she was gone, not even saying goodbye or telling us where she was going."

Riku: "That's right."

Sora: "But then over the next few days, she kept coming back. We'd always find her in the Secret Spot, she'd usually be drawing, or at least trying to draw on the walls, and over time she started to open up to us. She told us about her eyesight, and that she was far from home, but we didn't care, we still wanted to be friends with her. We played together everyday after that, never at night because she would mysteriously vanish, but I never questioned it. But that's all I remember."

Riku: "I can't blame you for that, after what happened."

Sora: "Why what happened?"

Riku: "Well one day, I was late coming over to the island, so you and Kasai spent the day together. When I finally came over, I saw you and her on the part of the island where we always practiced fighting each other. I got over there as fast as I could, not wanting to waste anymore of the day, but when I got there I was shocked and angry."

Sora: "Tell me, what happened!"

Riku: "I saw you laying on the ground, clutching tightly on your arm. The sleeve of your shirt was torn,…you were just attacked."

Sora: "B-By what?"

Riku: "I wanted to know that too, so when I turned to ask Kasai, I saw something I wish I didn't."

Sora: "Wh-what did you see?"

Riku: "I saw the sleeve of your shirt in her hand. I was infuriated, I wanted answers. I practically forced her to tell me what happened, but she was too terrified to even answer. I guess my anger got the better of me, because I threw her to the ground. She didn't bother trying to move, but I was still angry. She still looked as though she was terrified at what happened so, but I didn't care at the time, and I said things I wish I could take back."

Sora: "Well…what did you say?"

Riku: "I said that she was no longer welcome back on our islands, and that she wasn't our friend anymore and that we'd be better off if we never met her."

Sora: "How could you say something like that?"

Riku: "I was angry Sora! People say things they don't mean when they're angry. And this must've taken a heavy toll on Kasai, because she was now crying, and said something under her breath but luckily I was able to hear her."

Sora: "What did she say?"

Riku: "She said, 'I don't want to cause anymore problems then I already have. So I'll make your wish come true and make it so it's like you've never met me.'"

Sora: "Sh-she said that?"

Riku: "Yeah, soon after she erased our memories of ever meeting her, so it was as if we never met her."

Sora: "If that's true…then how come we can remember now?"

Riku: "I guess meeting you again made her wish that she had never erased our memories of her, and she was desperate to help you and me have them again."

Sora: "Oh…so that's what he meant…"

Riku: "Huh?"

Sora: "Never mind, forget it. So what does that have to do with what's happening now?"

Riku: "All of the guilt was building up inside of her, she never forgave herself for what happened to you. But it wasn't her fault."

Sora: "How's that?"

Riku: "After our battle in Radiant Garden, I woke up in what I thought was the world of darkness, but luckily it wasn't. I didn't know where I was, and I couldn't see a thing, and I was barely able to move."

Sora: "Yeah I know the feeling."

Riku: "When I finally was able to see the world clearly, I still didn't know where I was, but I noticed that Kasai was there as well, and she told me everything. She told me about what happened all of those years ago and that when she met us, she told me that she was also hanging out with these other group of kids, but they weren't normal. They constantly were doing thing that dealt with the heart, experimenting and trying to control it. She said that she volunteered in an experiment, fearing what would happen if someone else did it, and they did something that greatly effected her heart. Now she can't control what her heart is."

Sora: "What do you mean?"

Riku: "I mean she can't control whether her heart will be made of light or darkness. It all depends on her surroundings. If she's near darkness, then her heart becomes darkness. If she's near light, then her heart becomes light. She said that she can sometimes control her heart if she focuses, but it isn't something that happens often, so she loses control of her heart. She was lucky that she spent most of her time with you, but when ever you and your friends began to argue, you were pretty much forcing the darkness into her heart."

Sora: "Oh, so that's what happened…"

Riku: "Yeah, so when she told me this, she made me promise her that I wouldn't tell you."

Sora: "What why?"

Riku: "She didn't want you to have any sort of connection with her."

Sora: "What for? Why would she not want me to know the truth? What was the point of giving me back my memories of her if she doesn't want any connection with me?"

Riku: "Because…she told me that she had to face her past, and she can't guarantee if she'll be the same person when she does. She's afraid…that the darkness will take over her heart, and that she'll hurt you and everyone else close to her if that happens."

Sora: "I won't let that happen!" Sora raced toward the door, but Riku stopped him in his tracks.

Riku: "You can't be reckless Sora. Blindly running into a fight won't help anyone."

Sora: "But I can't just sit here! And I can't let her fight a fight when it's three against one!"

Riku: "What do you mean?"

Sora: "I know where she's going! Right before I woke up here, I saw a vision of two of the people that Kasai use to hang out with, other than us! And they're planning on reviving Xehanort!" Riku facial expression said it all, he was terrified at the thought of Xehanort being revived, and nodded in agreement. "We have to get Donald and Goofy, we could use their help!"

Riku: "They're not coming Sora."

Sora: "What? Why not?"

Riku: "You were out cold for a while Sora. Don't you wonder how we got out of the Keyblade Graveyard?" Sora had to think for a minute, but then dropped his head.

Sora: "They came and got us, didn't they?"

Riku: "Yeah, they had a feeling that you were in trouble, and came and found you unconscious. They asked if you were okay, and then took us here. When we got here, they said that they weren't going to stay."

Sora: "I can't say that I blame them, after the way I treated them."

Riku: "Gees Sora, you are always so emotional."

Sora: "But, I said-"

Riku: "They already told me, and they told me to tell you that it's not you. The King had something urgent and he needed their help. Don't worry, they'll come back when they get the chance." Sora felt relieved, and nodded. "Come on, let's go help Kasai."

Sora: "Right." Both of them raced out of the castle to a nearby clearing, the same place where Kasai lost control and attacked their friends, making Sora go sick to his stomach.

Riku: "You'll be fine, come on let's get going."

Sora: "But how are we-?" Sora was cut off by Riku pointing to whatever it was in his pocket. "Oh yeah!" Sora took out the pendant that first took him to the Keyblade Graveyard.

Ikusa: "Ah, so I see you found one of your friends."

Sora: "Ikusa-"

Ikusa: "You shouldn't be wasting time chatting 'Boy-Toy', shouldn't you be heading off?"

Sora: "We were going to leave, but you interrupted!"

Ikusa: "Well excuse me. I just thought that you would like to know something."

Sora: "And what is that?"

Ikusa: "Hm…maybe some weakness that the people you're going to fight have."

Sora: "Why're you helping us? Weren't you friends with Kairai and them?"

Ikusa: "Yes, we were friends at one point in time, but I found that they weren't the kind of people I want to hang out with."

Sora: "Then, will you tell us how to beat them?"

Ikusa: "Sure, but it wouldn't be me if I didn't make it a little difficult for you." Ikusa gave Sora and Riku a sly snicker.

Sora: "Anything will help."

Ikusa: "Alright. One that appears happy now, is terrified of their past. Knowing nothing about someone doesn't mean that you can't find their Achilles' heel. And you may hate someone, but there is always a reason, and that reason can cloud your better judgment."

Sora: "What's that suppose to mean?"

Ikusa: "Sorry, that's all I'm saying. Good luck." Just like that, Ikusa vanished right before their eyes.

Sora: "I just don't understand that guy." Sora looked toward Riku who was surprisingly quiet throughout that little conversation, and noticed that he was obviously holding back laughing. "What's so funny?"

Riku: "Did he call you 'Boy-Toy'?" Sora was obviously embarrassed.

Sora: "Shut up, let's go." Sora used the pendant to teleport him and Riku back to the Keyblade Graveyard, not really surprised to see that there was indeed a fight going on, well Riku wasn't surprised.

The battle they were witnessing was practically one sided, being three against one. The three people were towering over the one and only opponent they were facing, who in this case was Kasai, who appeared to be on the brink of slipping into unconsciousness, but would lose their footing. It took Riku but a second to noticed that Kasai had a reason to stay conscious. Not too far behind her lay an unconscious Ventus, but it didn't look as though he was in the battle whatsoever. They both tried to go up and help her, but something stopped them dead in their tracks.

Kairai: "Oh give it up Kasai. You can barely stand, and yet you still want to defend the lifeless puppet."

Kasai: "He's…not a…puppet…He has…a heart…"

Konki: "Oh is that what you were hiding? Pretty selfish, why not give it back to him?" Konki summon her energy chains (A/N: Yes people that's her weapons) and shackled her arms, so that they weren't blocking her heart. As she did this, Kairai approached Kasai.

Kairai: "Too bad, I guess trying to protect people isn't you forte." Kairai seemed to be reaching into Kasai's heart, even though, she wasn't even touching her. "Oh what do we have here. You seem to have more than one heart. I wonder which one is yours. Well just standing here won't solve anything, so let's check each of them, just to be sure that it's your heart I have. The other ones will just be a waste of space, no need to keep them."

Kasai: "No you can't!"

Kairai: "Sorry you don't have a say in the matter." Kasai just seemed to snap, creating a burst of energy from her heart as Kairai tried to steal it, shooting Kairai back a good distance, but unfortunately unhurt. Whatever was hold Sora and Riku back was now demolished, so they raced toward the fight as fast as they could. "Why you little brat! You're gonna pay for that!" Before Kairai could get any closer to her Sora and Riku stood between them, breaking Konki's energy chains in the process, making Kasai drop down to the ground.

Konki: "Aw, no fair. You shouldn't be allowed to break my weapon."

Riku: "Hmph, sorry. We just thought that three against on was so boring…"

Sora: "…so we're stepping in, hope you're ready for it."

Kairai: "Hmph, since when you become all buddy-buddy with the witch again?" Kasai hung her head in shame at those words.

Sora: "She's my friend, we've been through a lot together. And while I don't remember what happened all those years ago, she's still my friend, and I won't let you hurt her." Hearing Sora's words snapped Kasai out of her trance, and she glared at Riku.

Riku: "Sorry, he dragged it out of me." Kasai rose to her feet and started to approach Sora, still exhausted from her previous fight.

Kasai: "Sora…I need to ask you something."

Sora: "Sure, what is it?"

Kasai: "Deep inside of your heart is someone else's heart. They need it to wake up, so please let me return it to them."

Sora: "You mean Ven, right?"

Kasai: "Yes, please…I want to make it up to him."

Sora: "Don't worry, I trust you. Go ahead." Hesitant at first, Kasai connected with Sora's heart, trying her best not to cause him any pain, and she slowly extracted a pure heart of light, and this time Sora didn't feel at a loss. She approached the sleeping Ven, when Kairai seemed to snap.

Kairai: "You think we'll just let you do whatever you want traitor! Think again!" At the snap of Kairai's finger, Konki summoned another set of energy chains and was preparing to unleash another attack, Sora and Riku ready and able to deflect them. But these were different then the ones she summoned before, these were homing in on Kasai, who was now kneeling down next to Ven, and didn't see the upcoming danger. The chains avoided Sora and Riku completely, not giving them a chance to attack or defend against them. Right before the could come into contact with Kasai, something seemed to deflect them, much to Sora and Riku's surprise.

Konki: "What the-No fair!" Out of nowhere appeared Aqua.

Aqua: "Attacking someone who can't defend themselves isn't honorable, so you're gonna have to deal with me now." Aqua looked down at Kasai and Ven, who now is starting to wake up again. "Kasai, I'm trusting you to-"

Kasai: "Don't worry, I know." Ven was now fully awake, but seemed to be missing something, as his eyes were glazed over. With the wave of her wrist, Kasai summoned three separate portals, each leading to a different location.

Kairai: "What kind of trick is this?" Kairai looked up just in time to see Aqua racing toward her, and was able to dodge her just in time, but Konki wasn't so lucky and took the attack falling back in a nearby portal.

Aqua: "Kasai!"

Kasai: "Right!" Aqua chased after Konki and Kasai quickly closed the portal after she went through.

Kairai: "Why you little-!" As if by magic, all of the darkness shrouding Ven's eyes disappeared, and he raced toward Kairai, who luckily dodge him, but Seiseiwasn't as lucky and took the hit, forcing him to fall through the next open portal. Ven was a little hesitant to follow, but quickly did, and Kasai closed the portal right behind him.

Riku: "Looks like you're the only one left."

Kairai: "Hmph, I'm more than enough to take you three on."

Sora: "We'll just see about that!"

Man I just love being evil, yet another cliffhanger people

But if I kept writing I would never stop, so you'll just have to wait until the next chapter to see what happens.
