sorry for the lack of updates again. u.u

So then, here is chapter 55 of Kokoro!


Ansem lifted his weapon to ready, out hand with the palm facing them and the other holding the weapon. "You know... you are all just puppets..." He started, Ansem had a thing for hearing himself talk. "Your lives, your emotions..."

"What the hell are you trying to say?!" Aki yelled, she untied her cloak and let the wind take it, all of her dark armor now showing.

He closed his eyes and started his evil laugh, then looked at them again. "Your attraction to each other, the Royalties, it was a false love."

"What?!" Riku now ordered for an answer.

"You two never loved each other. It was all fake. Same with the Archangels." He now glared at Sora and Kokoro, who were both pissed at this turn of events. "They didn't love each other either."

Kokoro held back her emotional anger, but still yelled with a harsh tone. "Shut up!" Ansem started to laugh, but Kokoro just got madder. "I said shut the hell up!" She did a backwards summersault, creating a slash of wind in the air. It cut through the wind that came from him, and in turn made it stop. Yet, Ansem did not flinch at this dose of pain. It was felt, but like a paper cut. She landed on her feet and one hand, then stood ready again.

Ansem rubbed his chin, where it had hit, then continued. "You didn't love each other, but I guess those emotions did turn real. I do know that Riku and Aki... they are still in a false relationship." Both didn't object, deep down they knew who they were really for. "And the part that the Royalty is somehow ajoined to the Archangel... as best friends or worse foes... all strings tied into a massive web."

"Don't you know when to shut the hell up?!" Aki yelled, her and Kokoro started after Ansem, Sora and Riku kept calling for them to come back. Ansem just raised his weapon and held both off. They tried to push him back with all of their might, but he just had the staff emit a darkness energy and shot both back, into the two boys. The boys helped them up and all looked at Ansem again. "What do you want?!"

He lowered his staff. "What else? To have true darkness, and the light, as my servants." He then closed his eyes, a darkness glowing around him. "So, let me begin."

Aki and Riku stood ready as Ansem vanished. All four went backs to backs, looking in all four directions. No one thought of looking up, so Ansem came down in the middle of them. Kokoro turned around and tried to cast a light spell, but he grabbed her by the neck and started to chock her. Riku then turned, being next in speed, and swung with his sword. Ansem threw Kokoro into Sora and pushed Riku to the ground. He was about to stab Riku in the heart when Aki's sword got in the way. He then pushed Aki to the side without force and again tried at Riku. Kokoro got up and ran right to the man in white, jumping over his shoulders and landing on them with her hands. She tried to have the daggers go around his neck but his guardian just threw her to the ground, making her loose grip and drop the daggers. She was thrown into a lamp post, so she now leaned in a sit position against it. Kokoro looked up, only to find the tip of Ansem's lance at her heart. He was about to jab it down as Kokoro closed her eyes. She opened them when no pain was felt, but saw why. "Aki!" She screamed with all of her soul. The girl had gotten in the way, to save Kokoro. "No, Aki... Aki!" Ansem pulled out the lance as Aki fell to her knees. Kokoro made sure she didn't fall down all the way. "Hang in there okay? We'll get you somewhere safe and-"

"This... was going...to happen..." Aki looked up at Kokoro, who was crying. "You always... were the... emotional... one of the... group..."

"Shut up..." Kokoro closed her eyes, shaking her head. A few tears dropped onto Aki as she opened them again to find her friend starting to vanish. "Please don't go... please Aki..."

She shook her head. "Hey... remember our normal names?"

Kokoro shook her head. "Yeah... Jodi Adams and... Denise Ungeheuer..." She sniffled, cracking a small depressing smile. "My memory isn't that bad."

Aki laughed a bit, then was almost invisible. "Stop... that... bastard... for...m..e..." She closed her eyes and vanished, the orbs of light headed for the sky. All of the gems in Aki's hands, and the one that she possessed in her heart, left to Ansem and morphed into his body. Kokoro looked down at her hands, her friend was gone.

She then stood up, eyes closed, and formed her daggers. Kokoro unclipped the two keychains that were on and placed on Sora's gift, changing the daggers. They were now larger keys, still blue and silver. There was no more tip on the ends, but the area around the handle was shaped like the symbol for Kingdom Hearts. They had much more decorations but other then that didn't change much. Kokoro turned to Ansem and glared at him, tears rolling down her face. "You'll pay for that... you bastard!" She ran into a blind charge, going for his heart.

"No, Kokoro stop!" Sora yelled, but it was too late. Kokoro and Ansem had met, weapon to weapon. Sora went to help but only to find Kokoro getting knocked back again. She got up without hesitation and started at him again, but Sora grabbed her and dropped his Keyblade, holding her with both of his hands. "Stop this! You're going to kill yourself!"

"I don't care, he killed Jodi! He took Jodi away from me!" Kokoro yelled, trying to get free. Ansem was wiping his lip, Kokoro had cut him. "Sora, let me go right now!" An elemental boost, Sora was knocked back by her element of wind and she started at the man again. Sora got up and ran after her as well, but Riku beat him. Riku got to Ansem first and encountered him, stopping Kokoro in her tracks. This is what Ansem wanted, he was ready to take Riku's heart. Kokoro had different intentions, she wanted Ansem for herself. She pushed Riku down and made a wall of earth to separate the two. She then let him roll out of the way and formed an ice lance, throwing it right at Ansem. The oldest in the fight cut the ice in two with his spear, then started at Kokoro, guardian at his back and flying. She stood ready, then started to charge at him. Sora again grabbed Kokoro from behind, this time hugging her so her hands were stuck, as if she were tied up. "Sora, for the last time! Dammit, let me go!"

He was going to object but was distracted. Riku was putting up a good fight, but it was all too quick. The lance went through Riku as well, and the boy fell to the ground. "Riku... Riku, Riku!" Sora let Kokoro go and she just stood there, watching with horror struck eyes. Sora ran to his friend, but when he reached him Riku vanished. The gems again went to Ansem, and Sora looked at the light orbs going to the sky. He then turned to Ansem, calling back his Keyblade. "No... you... twice! You stole him twice!"

"Oh, poor child." Ansem mocked. The guardian separated from Ansem and started after Sora while the man went after Kokoro. Sora and Kokoro ran to each other, they were planning a double attack. When they reached each other the guardian grabbed Sora from behind, taking him by his left arm and right foot. The boy dropped his weapon, fighting to get free. Kokoro tried to help, but Ansem wrapped his arms around her waist, ready to take her as well. Kokoro dropped her daggers and took Sora's hand with her left. Right and left, the two scars. "This is annoying."

The guardian pulled Sora away, who wouldn't let Kokoro go. Both held to each other, the hands slipping. Then it happened, both lost grip of each other. "Kokoro!" Sora yelled, still holding out his hand to her.

"No, Sora!" Kokoro yelled back. Momo and the other had just woke up, coming from Third and the Accessory Shop to witness the site. The guardian took Sora into one portal and Ansem took the fighting Kokoro to the other.

Momo dropped Reiki and ran to Kokoro, trying to save her. Kokoro saw her and called out her name, but the portal closed before Momo could make it. She tripped and fell to her knees, then started to punch the ground. "No! Ansem has them, dammit!" Daniel ran up to her, making sure that she as okay. "We have to find them. He is probably going to try and open Kingdom Hearts!" Momo looked behind her, at the ground. There lay the weapons, Kokoro's with the new keychains and Sora's Kingdom Key. Momo stood up and went to Kokoro's blades, taking off the new keychains and placing on the old ones, then picked them up in one hand. She then went over to the Kingdom Key, picking it up in the other. All of the weapons vanished, the owners were lost in another world, an enemy's world. She then grabbed Reiki and started to the doors out of Traverse Town. "We're going to stop him, let's go!" Everyone agreed. All of Kokoro's friends, only the ones from her world, followed their current leader Momo and took the first Gummi to the newest world on the cosmos. Also the world with the darkest energy, the End of the World.
