I opened my eyes only to be standing in complete darkness. I couldn't see anything. I looked around and seen Ansem standing about 20 feet in front of me. I looked behind me and Riku was standing about 10 feet away with Sora right behind him. They were watching me not moving. It was as if they were a figment of my imagination. I turned to completely face them, and then started running toward them. I was only about five feet away from them; they were in reach of grabbing, when I was grabbed from behind. I was turned to face Ansem, my arms being held down to my sides. I kicked and struggled but it was no use.

"Get off me!" I exclaimed kicking and struggling, "Riku! Sora! Help me!"

I looked behind me only to find Riku and Sora fading away from me, laughing. Tears formed in my eyes. They didn't care about me. They just don't care about me. Ansem's laugh echoed in my head. He had won. I stopped struggling, only to lay there helplessly in his arms. I didn't care anymore. I had no reason to continue, my best friends didn't care, I loved them both and neither of them cared anymore. Tears fell down my cheeks as I was dropped, and was falling and falling. "Kairi wake up!" Riku's voice echoed above me. I opened my eyes, to be looking up at Riku. A smile traced across my face.

"Its over we can go home now." I said softly, as Sora and Riku both nodded.

In an instant we were transported back to Destiny Islands; our island; our home. We picked up our weapons and walked over to the Secret Spot. We placed our weapons in a corner and I created an everlasting protective barrier around them that only we three can break. I continued to wear the locket always to keep Sora and Riku close to my heart. We still raced, hung out at the Paopu tree and messed around. We always said and still do say the same thing about Riku, Sora and me:

Best Friends until the end of time is what we three will always be!
