Last Sane Thought (Chapter Eight)
Rating PG-13

"Morning!" Kairi smiled at him happily.

Sora blinked back at her faintly, "Hello?" He saw the girl and her bright face and felt his heart melt. Look to her side he saw a tall black creature and he frowned, "What's that?"

She continued to smile but went to sit by his side. The creature followed her like a dog. "Sora I want to you tell me what you meant before you fell."

He put a hand to his warm forhead. He though hard and long but only a wispy tendril of thought existed past the darkness. "Forget Sora Forget."

"I don't remember a thing. Who are you?" He questioned look at Kairi.

She nodded softly, "I figured as much. My name is Kairi," poitning to the creature, "this is my friend Muk. We are your friends."

Sora looked at the creautre long and hard, "I don't know why I would be friends with that thing but if I must then I will."

The creature gave a howl and burst into a puff of black smoke. Kairi gasped in shook but Sora merely stared. Had he experianced this before? Yet, hadn't it been... brighter...?

After a few moment the black cloud of smoke gathered itself up again and the creature stood up. It's gray male body flexed and stretched. The creature opened its now human mouth and began to ramble on in Heartless gibberish.

"Muk! Muk! Calm down!" Sora shouted covering his ears and Muk's cries rose to an ear split pitch.

Kairi howled in pain as blood began to leak from her ears. "Sora! Help me," she sobbed falling to the floor.

Sora's head felt funny. Like someone was poking around putting up walls and keep things out of his mind's reach.

"My name... I forgot my name!" He gasped falling again the head border. Blood already leaking from his own ears. The window had already broken from Muk's contining screams.

Sora vaguely heard, "Get it out of me! Get these thoughts out of me! Please I don't want to know this! Dad would be so mad with me please! GET THEM OUT!" He turned to Muk and his voice became gibberish again.

"Get what out!" Sora shouted threwing a pillow at Muk. Muk fell back and hit his head on the dresser. Sora cried out painfully as all his memories rushed back at him.

"That thing! That fucking thing had my mind in it! It took my memories!" He hissed angry clawing his way out of the sheets and over to aid Kairi.

Her hands were covered in blood and she was in lots of pain. Sora thought quietly as he casted magic over her wounds. She sighed and looked up at him.

"What did you do to Muk?" She said weaving her own magic over his pain.

Sora looked over at the unconscious Muk and frowned, "What are we doing to each other is the question."

Kairi looked at Muk baffled, "What happened?"

Sora shook his head, "I don't know and I don't want it to happen again. Muk goes now!"

He reached out for his sword and picked the Heartless with one strong arm and carried him out of the room.

Kairi dashed out into the hallway after them, "What are you doing?"

He continued to walk as he called back, "I'm going hunting!"
