Title: *Hikari's Reflection*
Author: Third Rabbit
Setting: She was created by a single shard from Kairi's heart. She's Kairi's reflection and she seems to know more about the worlds, the doors, and the new evil rising than anyone. What's the secret behind this girl and can Sora trust her?
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the KH characters.
Notes: This happens after KH. The girl who looks like Kairi is based off this image of a girl in the background of the new KH game that will come out for the GBA in 2004 called KH: Chain of Memories. So, I really don't own the girl or do I?
Thanks for the reviews, AnimeDarin. I guess it can be confusing, with there being two unmasked unknowns and the red haired one. But, neither of them are Riku. I guess one could be Sora, but one isn't. They'll be revealed later in the story. Anyway, here's the fourth chapter and thank you again for the reviews.

Entry IV: Choices and Consequences
*******************************************************
"Hey, where are we?"
Riku frowned as he continued to walk down the dark, wet street of the dull, lifeless city. Crossing his arms, he looked at his short companion, confused and not too sure of what was to happen. Ever since the doors had close, Mickey had treated him like they'd been friends for years and he always gave him hope. But, underneath the mouse's grins and happy cheers was worry. And Riku knew for sure that something was wrong and something was going to happen.
"King Mickey, you still haven't answered my question. Where are we going?" Riku asked, again.
"You can call me Mickey and don't worry, Riku. We're goin' to be fine. There's a lot that's goin' to happen and I want you to promise me one thing." Mickey said, stopping and facing Riku.
"And that is?" Riku asked, slightly anxious of the King's conversation.
"That you won't overreact over what's goin' to happen. A lot of choices are goin to be made and I don't want you too be too worried over what will happen to the worlds, to your friends, to yourself."
"What are you talking about?" Riku frowned. "Mickey, what's going on? Where are we going?"
"Well, ol'chum, we're going to meet those hooded men, the unknowns." Mickey said, watching Riku's expression of calm and cool disappeared, quickly.
"What?!" Riku shouted. "Those guys that we fought not to long ago!? What would they have to do with the worlds and us? What kind of meeting we're going to have with them?"
"Calm down, Riku." Mickey said, shaking his head. "They're offering us something that we need. And you know you'll want it."
"What?" Riku blinked. "Like what? Another chance of being out of wherever we are now?"
"Something's comin', Riku, and you, me, along with Sora will have to confront it, head on. This 'Nobody' is coming and we have the keys of this side and the key Sora has. But, there seems to be another."
"Another keyblade?" Riku asked, getting a nod from Mickey.
"No, no, this key is different. Very different." Mickey said and then turned around.
Riku looked up to see two, hooded men, standing infront of them. Their smirks only made Riku get a sickening feeling inside him. One stepped up, his buttery brown bangs fluttering and held a hand out, causing Riku to take a step back. Mickey frowned and walked forward.
"So, we meet again, Mickey Mouse." The hooded man said, smirking.
"Yeah," Mickey said, slightly glaring. "And you actually showed up."
"Well, we do keep our promises, but the question is, did you make your decision?"
"What?" Riku looked at Mickey. "What's he talking about?"
"I did and my answer for you is yes. But, not because of the power you have, but because of the worlds and all the people living in them." Mickey said, turning to Riku.
"Now, Riku. It's time that they explain everything to you."
Staring confused at Mickey, Riku gasped as the hooded man stood infront of him. Rick glared as the man walked around him, observing his movements, everything. The man finally walked back to where he originally stood, grinning.
"He's perfect. I can see him bearing the power." He smiled. "But, can you see it, Riku?"
"What?" Riku glared as the other man walked up.
"You see, you have a choice to make. You have the choice to gain a different power, a very different way of life. Since you were strong enough to fight off the darkness, risking everything to save your friends, we believe you have what it takes to be one of us. But, there's a consequence. You'll lose something precious to you. You won't know you've lost it, till the day it comes to you."
"What do you mean? Why would I gain that kind of power?" Riku asked, shooting glares at them.
"The mouse did. He gave up something really precious to him in order to gain this power to save that precious thing. Wouldn't you do the same thing for Sora and Kairi?" The other hooded man asked.
"What? Give up something precious to me? I would do it for my friends, but I want to know what I'll lose if I do become one of you." Riku said.
"That can't be revealed, otherwise, you wouldn't join. It's your choice, Riku."
Riku turned away, closing his eyes. A choice he had to make and yet, he didn't even know what he would lose. Would he lose his body, again? His heart? Sora and Kairi? Would it even be worth it? To have the power to save the worlds and his buddies? Taking a deep breath, Riku opened his eyes and faced the other hooded man.
"Fine, I'll do it."
**********
Kairi stared at the pretty blue sky, her crimson red hair caressing her left cheek. Destiny Islands had returned to it's normal way of life, except for two missing boys, whose parents were worried about them. Slightly sighing, Kairi sat down on the bridge, looking down at the sand. Sora had been gone only for a day and she missed both him and Riku so much. How long would it take Sora to find Riku? Placing her arms behind her back, Kairi closed her eyes.
"Please be okay...the both of you." She whispered.
"Do you even care what role you play in this?"
Startled, Kairi quickly swung around to see something that scared and shocked her at the same time. She saw herself.
