"Sora!" Kiane yelled into the darkness, before unsheathing her Keyblade
"Where is Sora! What did you do with him!?"
"Is he all you care about" A figure stepped out from the darkness.
"......Riku...." She whispered, putting her Keyblade away "Is he ok?" She now spoke up
"Yes, he's fine" He pauses "You left."
"I had to I didn't want to be controlled"
"It was for the best. Ansem would've controlled you, like he controlled me"
"Riku I-"
"Close the keyhole"
"What? Which-"
"To the darkness, Close it"
"Ok...." She took a step close to him and stroked his hair "Riku.....It's really you" She fell into his arms in a hug "I've missed you so much"
Riku stood there, not knowing what to do, holding her. "Me too" He looked down at the girl in his arms who was looking up and smiling at him. "Now leave, before they find you here" He stood her up and began to walk away.
"Wait." She grabbed his hand.
"What" He turned to face her, looking down at his hand
"Promise me you'll come back for me." She looked at him with teary eyes
"I promise, now go" He smiled slightly.
*~*~*~*~*
"Sora!" Kiane ran up to him "It was him and he promised to come back for. He was really there I touched him and everything"
"Who?" Sora grabbed her shoulders
"Riku"
"You saw him. Are you sure you weren't dreaming?"
"I'm positive and he's still out there. I can feel him in my heart"
"Then there is still hope of finding Kairi. I know she's out there, She's in my heart too." Sora smiled "C'mon let's get going!"
*~*~*~*~*
"Riku, you told the girl to seal the keyhole?" Maleficent said, while she stood next to Ansem
"I had to" Riku looked down at the ground
"It's his heart" Ansem drew a Keyblade "We must take it, open it to the darkness" He pulled it behind his head, ready to strike down on Riku.
"No, Ansem" Maleficent smirked "The girl has a Keyblade. If we get her on our side she will prove to be quite useful. Let him keep his heart"
"Fine" Ansem growled as the Keyblade disappeared "You are a lucky one boy"
*~*~*~*~*
"Sora, do you think he'll come back?" Kiane asked as she laid in the bed of a hotel
"Of course. He did say he loved you, didn't he?" Sora replied sleepily
"Well...not exactly...but I know he does." She paused "Sora?" she looked at the now sleeping Sora "I should've told him when I had the chance" she whispered
"Why not tell me now?" Riku leaned against the wall
"Riku." She got up and ran over to him
"What do you want to tell me?" He looked down at her
"I-I-I-I love you" she whispered and hugged him tightly
"I do too." he smiled then it quickly changed into a frown "They want to take my heart"
"No.." She hugged him tighter
"They want you, Kiane, Don't let your heart give in" he leaned in closer to her
"I won't let them have either of us" She kissed him slightly. "Now go before Sora wakes up" She paused and removed a ring of a heart with a key on it from her finger and put it in his hand. "Don't forget about me, ok?"
"Ok" He put the ring on his pinkie and disappeared
*~*~*~*~*
"You know when they take Riku's heart they'll make you fight him. Your heart is you strength and your weakness." Sora sighed
"I have to fight him?" Kiane stopped where she was
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything" Sora looked away from her.
"He loves me, he told me last night"
"He was there last night" He now made eye contact with her
"Mhmn" She nodded "and I told him I loved him, and I wouldn't let them have his heart. And he said he wouldn't forget about me"
"Did you ask if Kairi's alright?" Sora asked hopefully
"No..." She looked at the ground "He left to quick for me to ask"
"So there's still a chance, I mean, if Riku's still alive then there is a good chance Kairi is too, Right?"
"Right." She smiled up at him
"Well lets get going then!" Sora grabbed her hand and ran off
"Why the rush?" she laughed
"The faster we get there the faster we find Riku and Kairi"
"Yea!" She smiled
*~*~*~*~*
**Dream Sequence Start**
"Hello?" Kiane called out into the darkness. "Anybody he-" The darkness quickly transitioned into her room. "My room, My house" She ran outside. "Leon! Yuffie! Cid!" She yelled happily. "Anybody?" She looked around at the deserted place
"They're gone, it's just us" Riku smiled and drew his sword. She looked around once again as her Keyblade appeared in her hands. She quickly dashed at Riku, stabbing her Keyblade at him. He laughed and flipped over her.
She turned around and quickly stabbed right through his stomach. She stood there for a few seconds before letting go of her Keyblade and rushing over to Riku, who fell into her arms.
"Riku....No don't die on me" She looked down at him with tears running down her cheek.
"Kiane," He tugged at the ring on his pinkie and put it in her hand once he got it off. "I'm always with you, in your heart and I'll always love you" He shut her hand around the ring
"No, Riku don't go" She watched as his body disappeared in her arms. a Tear rolled down her cheek and onto the ground.
**End Dream Sequence*
Kiane hugged Sora, who was lying next to her. Sora looked over at her with a smile
"Riku, Don't leave me" She whispered, causing Sora's smile to change to a frown
"Kiane" He shook her slightly
"huh?" She opened her eyes
"Dreaming about Riku?"
"How could you-" She looked at her arms which were wrapped around him "Oh..." she removed her arms from around him
"It's ok" Sora smiled "What were you dreaming about?"
"If I had to fight him, I won and his body disappeared right in front of me.
"They had taken his heart in the dream, hadn't they?"
"yeah....how could you tell?"
"Cause" He wiped a tear off of her cheek "You're crying, and I know how much it hurts you to even think about him not having a heart or having a heart full of darkness" He hugged her "But that won't happen, Trust me"
*~*~*~*~*
