Chapter 25! Can we make it past 100 reviews pretty please? :) I'd be ever so grateful! Anyway, I changed the chapter this story will end on. It is no longer 30, the chapter it will end on is now Chapter 26. One more chapter to go after this! It will be worth it I promise! Enjoy in Kairi's P.O.V.!

"Kingdom Hearts is almost complete?" I gasped. Vanitas was gone, and I have to work fast if I want Sora and the others to be safe. I have to seal Kingdom Hearts. Become the ultimate sacrifice for the life of my friends. I will do whatever it takes to make them safe again. And maybe after I've sealed it, the Darkness inside Riku will finally leave him.

"If what he said is true, we have to do something to keep the New Organization from finishing it. If they finish it, Xehanort will become unbeatable." says Riku, in a frustrated tone. "We'll stop 'em! Don't worry, Riku!" says Sora, so sure, as always. They don't know I still plan to seal Kingdom Hearts. And as long as I keep it that way, they can't stop me from doing so.

"Right, Kairi?" asks Sora, turning to me. "That's right." I said, nodding, "We'll stop Xehanort once and for all." I smiled, but Riku was staring at me. I think he knows what I'm planning. If he does, he isn't letting anyone notice it. We all sat and discussed battle plans, as always, and I managed to sneak away undetected. Well, almost. Namine notices me slipping away and slipped away herself.

"Where are you going?" she asks in a whisper. "I have something I need to do. Go back." I said firmly. She crosses her arms and glares into my eyes, "Tell me what you're planning, Kairi. Tell me what you don't want them to know." "No. Now go back." I growled. "You're going to seal Kingdom Hearts aren't you?" she asks. How did she find out?

"Yes. It's the only way to make sure Sora and Riku will never have to fight anymore." I said with a sigh. "Then I'm coming with you." she said. I gave her a shocked expression and she rolled her eyes, "If you seal it, you and I both end up being sealed inside it. So I might as well help."

"Fine, but they can't know where we've gone." I hissed. She nodded and opened a corridor of light and we both went through it. It closed behind her and we traveled through it for a few minutes before we came out into a different world. "Where are we?" I asked, turning to her.

"We're in The World That Never Was. No one lives here anymore, but this is where Kingdom Hearts is the closest. Once we get to where we are the closest to Kingdom Hearts, I can open a corridor, leading us to Kingdom Hearts itself. Now lets go." says Namine, walking towards the huge heart shaped moon in the sky.

I followed her, summoning Destiny's Embrace, just in case we meet anyone we weren't expecting to, or if Heartless or Nobodies appear. Namine sees my Keyblade and smiles, summoning her own white Keyblade. "What's the name of your Keyblade again, Namine?" I asked.

"Heh, Light's Embrace." she laughs. I laugh too, seeing as to that it's so close to mine, and Ixakri's as well. Good thing I don't have to deal with her anymore. She's dead, lost in Darkness like she needs to stay. Destiny's Embrace, Fate's Embrace, and Light's Embrace, okay this is a weird fluke.

We get to the Castle That Never Was and we somehow make our way onto the outside bridge where I saw Riku again for the first time, before I saw Sora, and where Saix tried to stop Namine's and I's escape, where Kingdom Hearts is the closest to us. "This is is." says Namine, opening a corridor of light.

We were about to go through it when I heard someone say, "I told you she'd be here." I turned to see Riku and a very upset Sora looking back at us. Namine looks at them silently. The whole gang is here. "What do you think you were going to do?" Riku asks me angrily.

"Seal Kingdom Hearts to make sure you and Sora won't have to fight anymore." I said as evenly as I could. Sora gasps and Riku just glares at me. "And you think we'd want that over having you alive next to us? Fighting along side us? Just being with us?" Riku roared. I flinched but made no move to step away from Namine's portal.

"Kairi, don't leave me!" cries Sora. I sigh, having to look away from him to keep my cool, I can't think straight when I see Sora cry. But I'm doing this for them. I won't let them talk me out of it. "Sora, please don't do that. I love, I really do, but I have to do what I believe is right in my heart." I said, placing my free hand over my heart at the end, "And my heart wants what's best for you and Riku."

"But, Kairi!" he says, "What about us? We keep getting ripped apart! I don't want that anymore! I just want to be with you!" I am forced to hold back the tears. "Sora," I say, trying to keep from crying and running to him, "I want that too, but I have to do what is right as my duty as a Princess of Heart!"

"But I love you! I want you here with me! You give me the strength to carry on, Kairi!" he cries, literally crying. I gasp, tears slipping down my face slowly. "I-I won't change my mind." I said, crying too now, "I'm sealing Kingdom Hearts and there isn't anything you can say to stop me."

"Kairi!" he cries, "You can't! I need you!" "Sora, stop!" I beg, "This is hard enough as it is, but I can't handle you saying those things right now!" This is breaking my heart to reject him like this. Wait, reject him... That may be the only way for him to let me go... I glare at him through my tears.

"I can't, Sora. I have to do what is right. And if it mean I have to end this thing between us, then so be it." I said, tears falling down my cheeks. He gasps, his eyes go wide, "K-Kairi... You don't mean that? You're not really breaking up with me are you?" I sigh, "If it means you'll let me go. Then yes."

"But I'll never let you go." he says quietly, looking down now. Riku is pissed. He's staring at me with hatred. I turned, still crying, and walked through the portal, leaving Namine to come behind me, closing the corridor after she comes through it. We get to this place that looks like space, and then there's the gigantic heart shaped moon before us. Kingdom Hearts.

"So, do you know what to do, Kairi?" Namine asks me. I nod, "Yes, I go inside of it, hold hands with you in the center, close my eyes, and seal it away with the power of my heart." "That will also seal me and you in it as well, as well as our souls and hearts." "I know." I said, floating towards it and easily going inside of it, glowing in light. "How come I can go in so easily?" I ask.

Namine comes in right behind me, also glowing in white. "Because you're a pure heart, and the strongest Princess of Heart." she answers, now beside me. I nod and we go to the very center of Kingdom Hearts, surrounded by millions and millions of hearts. "Ready?" I asked, holding my hand out to the side, since she is floating beside me.

She nods and takes my hand and we both close our eyes, becoming engulfed in the brightest light I have ever seen. "I, Kairi, Seventh Princess of Heart, seal away the heart and soul of myself and my Pure Nobody, Namine, in return, for sealing Kingdom Hearts forever!" I say. As I say the words to seal Kingdom Hearts, the light around us becomes so bright light is all I see.

Soon my body becomes as light as a feather, and my essence of being starts to slip away. But I keep my eyes shut and keep chanting, holding tightly to Namine's hand for comfort. But soon her hand disappears from mine. I guess she disappears, becomes sealed, before I do.

I keep chanting and soon I feel like my heart is evaporating, like I can't feel anything anymore. I'm not numb, I'm just...not there anymore. I keep chanting, and as I do, I see images of Sora throughout the time I first met him, to the last memory I have of him, when I broke his heart. Forgive me, Sora. I do still love you.

Then I see the same images of Riku, from when we first met, to when he glares angrily at me for breaking Sora's heart. I know I made mistakes, Riku, but this is the only way to seal the Darkness and make sure we win this war. So please, if you can find it in your heart, forgive me, because I loved you too, and I still do. Then everything goes from me. And even myself...feels...gone...

I'm sorry it's so short, but there wasn't much left to do once she sealed her heart. So, please review and don't flame, the last chapter will be better than this, and longer I promise.
