....it began....

YO PEOPLES!!! I gave away a HUGE spoiler in the last chappie...if you don't know what I'm talking about.....to bad for you MUHAHHAHA!! *ahem...* ok then....a......um.........OH SREW THIS here's the next chappie!!

Chapter 4: Awaking of the darkness.....(if that doesn't give it away I don't know what will....)

Riku lay Sora on the bed gently, his face paler then it was on the island, "oh please don't lose Sora" he whispered quietly to his unconscious friend. " Don't give in..."

Leon had taken them to the hotel, he stood leaning against the door while Kairi Goofy and Donald sat at the table, and Riku stood close to the table.

"What can we do? "Kairi asked head in her hands.

Riku shrugged "I have no idea.... she told us we could help him...."

"she?" Leon repeated questioningly raising an eye brow.

Riku sighed," a voice Kairi and I heard in our dream..."

" and what happened in this dream....." Donald asked.

Riku looked at Kairi for help but only to find that she was sobbing silently into her hands, " Sora became a shadow spirit...."

Leon twitched," Are you sure?"

Riku glared at him," very..."

A sudden knock on the door scared the stuffing out of them. "Who is it?" Leon called.

"It's Yuffie, open the DOOR!"

Leon quickly opened the door and there stood a very angry Yuffie, "YOU LEFT ME THERE!!!" She screamed at Leon "You left me alone in the second direct, without a WORD!!!" She huffed in and suddenly noticed the odd crowd in the room," oh hello....." She looked around the room and spotted Sora on the bed and gasped. "what happened to him, he looks like a ghost..."

Riku sighed and thought,' why am I the one who has to explain EVERYTHING!'

"He's being taken over, by an evil spirit...."Riku said for the umpteenth time.

"O dear.... we need to get him some Spirit Fire..."

Everyone stared at her..."WHAT!?"

"That's the best idea I've heard all day...." Riku stated.

Yuffie blushed, " Come on we need to go to The Deep Jungle."

Riku quickly picked up Sora and nodded to Kairi, Goofy, and Donald, as they walked out and to the gummi ship. "Hold on just a bit longer..." he whispered to Sora...

(A/N if you're wondering 'why The Deep Jungle,' well you'll see.....)

++The Deep Jungle++

Everyone stood by the tree house where they got out of the gummi ship. Riku started to lead them to the camp when Sora started shaking violently. "Sora, Sora!! Riku yelled laying his shaking friend on the ground.

"NO this can't be!!" Kairi screamed.

Riku could feel the darkness in Sora growing. .stronger, and the light drifting away.... " it is and we couldn't stop it."

Sora's body came to a halt and a darkness surrounded him, Riku backed away, and yelled "Everyone get back in the gummi ship, NOW!!" Leon, Yuffie, the reluctant Goofy and Donald went back to the ship and disappeared.

"Kairi, why didn't u go?!?" Riku yelled, over the wind that had suddenly picked up.

"I won't leave you and Sora HERE!" Kairi yelled back.

Several black bands wrapped around Sora, suddenly Sora's eyes opened, they were filled with sorrow and fear..."you promised Riku....you promised!" Sora whispered, somehow Riku and Kairi heard what he said.

Riku felt his heart fill with guilt, "I-I'm sorry Sora..."he yelled. Sora gave him a weak smile and disappeared into the darkness.

"SORA!" Kairi screamed. "Don't give up hope!!!!!

When the young boy's body was wrapped in the darkness, the wind calmed everything stood still.

"There's nothing we could have done..." Riku whispered.

"Yes there WAS!" Kairi screamed, " we could have gotten him here sooner!"

+++

Inside the darkness Sora felt himself beginning to change, the only thought in his head was "Why me...."

" For your heart was weakened , from what had happen to you before and because you hold the keyblade! Now sleep child, sleep forever...."

Suddenly Sora felt tried and weak, sleep came quickly for him. As soon as he drifted into the unconscious world, the dark spirit began to transform his body into the shadow spirit. First his clothes became tight and black, then his hair lengthen, and darkened, and last to long black bat wings appear.

"Awaken dark spirit !!"

+++

The darkness surrounding Sora began to disappear, and wings were in it's place. The wings up righted themselves and hovered for awhile.

"It's done, "Riku said sadly, "Sora has been ...." He was fighting back tears(A/N NOW I'm making Riku the Sissy!!* and didn't finish his sentence, he grabbed Kairi's hand and pulled her behind a bush.

"no no no!!!!" Kairi whispered.

The wings opened and there stood the blackened Sora, and something they happened seen in their dreams, he had two cat ears sticking out of his head, white fangs and long claws that reach 5 inches in length. He opened his eyes to reveal red glowing eyes with slits for pupils. An evil smirk appeared on the Shadow Sora's face.

"The darkness is alive!" said a voice that Kairi and Riku had become oh so familiar with.

" and no no nobody knows the way to bring him back...." the Shadow Sora through his head back and laughed.

"W-we can b-bring h-him b-back!" Kairi whispered.

"apparently so" Riku whispered back enthusiastically.' There's a chance!' he thought, ' we can get Sora back!!!!!!'

"b-but how?" Kairi asked, all hope seemed to be gone from her.

"We'll find away" Riku told her, " You told Sora not to give up hope."

Kairi nodded, " Yes"

"and now you've lost yours....Kairi," Riku said softly.

Kairi looked up at him, eyes brimming with tears, and she nodded.

" You might as well come out Riku! " the blackened Sora called.

"Stay here Kairi" Riku whispered standing up. Kairi nodded and hugged her knees.

"What do you think?" the Shadow Sora said.

Riku glared," I think I want my friend back..."

The Shadow narrowed his eyes," You don't even give me a chance..."

Riku felt an angry fire rise in his chest," You've stolen my best friend and now your asking me to give you a CHANCE!!!"

A small smirk appeared on the shadow's face," That's it exactly child . I could be your new best friend if you help me destroy the keyblade."

Riku felt the fire increase in his chest, suddenly he heard Sora's voice in his head and saw a ghost like figure of Sora standing behind the Shadow, "He wants you to get mad....fight it...please I'm still here."

Riku nodded, and swallowed his anger, " Never my best friend is still here and we will get him back!"

The evil grin increased, "We?... there's only one of you!"

Riku suddenly caught what he said," I-I meant I'll bring him back.."

Shadow hissed "Liar!! Where is the girl?!"

Riku glared" I don't know want you're talking about, I'm the only one here!"

The Shadow Sora looked over to the bush Kairi was hidden in, "COME OUT!"

Kairi slowly stood shaking.

" No Kairi RUN!" Riku yelled, but she stood as still as possible.

" I can't Riku...I won't leave!" she whispered.

The shadow grinned again," loyalty... a strong spirit you are."

Riku quickly stood in front of Kairi.

"You have to get through me before you can get her!" Riku said, bravery in his voice.

"So... you're going to protect her like you did Sora? You failed him... " the shadow said ,his smirk increasing by the second.

Riku lowered his head a little, and then heard Sora's voice again" You did all you could Riku, it's not your fault. This was going to happen and you couldn't have stopped it."

Riku nodded again and raised his head," I didn't fail him, I did the best I could for him!"

The Shadow Sora's smile vanished and he grabbed the front of Riku's shirt and through him against a tree.

Before he blacked-out Riku saw the ghost Sora standing in his place in front of Kairi, "thank you " the Ghost whispered. "rest and return.."
