The mayor's house wasn't too far away from Sora's neighborhood, but the walk didn't seem to be helping him at all. Sora felt drowsy, weak, and confused over the dream and probably over more than that. The fact seemed obvious to him at first. He simply didn't get enough sleep. But, the fact that he was starting to dream about going to sleep and then entering a nightmare didn't really make the theory obvious.
"Am I losing it?" Sora questioned aloud with a slight frown on his lips.
Stopping, he shook his head and frowned. He was really cracking up and he hadn't even went to see Kairi. The house seemed simple enough, even though some would expect the house to be bigger than the others. But, the mayor didn't want to make it seem like he was bigger than everyone else. Walking up the front porch's steps, Sora made it to the front door and knocked three times. He could hear Kairi's voice, yet it seemed so far away. Everything began to look hazy for some reason. Sora blinked his blue eyes and frowned. Were the walls moving?
"Sora!"
Sora blinked once again and soon saw Kairi's sweet smile. That same sweet smile she gave to him when he came back with Riku. Kairi giggled slightly and placed her arms behind her back. She then nodded, seemingly in a apoligetic way.
"I'm so sorry, Sora. I really needed to talk to you. Did you have something else to do?" She asked.
"No, not really. If you want to talk, Kairi, that's okay." Sora replied, faking a smile.
Even though he cared about her, Sora didn't really feel up to it for a conversation. Looking to the side, Sora slightly frowned, seeing the porch turn a darker, grayer shade. Sora placed a hand against the back of his head and nodded.
"Sora, you okay?" Kairi asked, slightly worried.
"Yeah, let's go talk." Sora insisted, giving her his goofy smile.
"Where?" Kairi asked, nodding. "You know were not aloud to go to the Islands."
"We can sneak there and go to the Secret Place." Sora explained, almost absent-minded. "There shouldn't really be any rain or water in there. Unless, the island is flooded."
"Yeah, I guess we could. Let's do it." Kairi smiled.

The sand seemed so soaky as Sora and Kairi stepped out of their boats and began walking on it, grasping each other's hand. Kairi stared at Sora, who looked to be in a reverie state. Slightly worried, she smiled, thinking of something to say.
"So, do you want to know what I am going to talk about?" Kairi asked, grinning.
"Huh?" Sora nodded, "Yeah, tell me. Are you worried about something, Kairi?"
"Well, sort of." Kairi nodded, slightly bashful. "It's really about you, Sora."
Sora blinked. "Me? What about me?"
Kairi didn't reply then. She simply turned her head away from Sora. Sora sighed in a soft manner. He knew when to keep going on and to stop with Kairi. Turning his sights on the hidden entrance, he pushed aside the bushes and held the entrance open for her.
"Ladies first." He joked.
Kairi giggled and made her way in to the entrance. Sora stepped infront of the entrance ready to go, when a sudden feeling rushed through him. A cold, aching feeling from his heart. Small gleamers of light began to sparkle from his chest as he placed a hand it and could feel his heart pumping faster. The world around him began to darken as Sora turned around to see that same woman. But this time, she wasn't alone. Beside her stood a tall man with dark brown skin and sparkling silver hair. His eyes were pure white and they seemed to send electrical bolts down Sora's spine. Taking a step back, Sora shook his head, frowning.
"It's you!" Sora shouted, frowning.
"Yes," The woman grinned, "I remember you, too! It's surprising that your heart survived and now, the experiment has begun. Right, Proffesor?"
"Yes, it is. You are more stronger than I thought, boy. It's a shame that he didn't have enough power, no, enough knowledge to defeat you. But, I see great darkness in your heart." The man said, smiling.
"I may have darkness in my heart, but the light is greater inside me." Sora said, frowning.
"Maybe. But, I see the darkness will continue to grow until you're knocked in to the other side. You will become one of my greatest creations. The heartless will be nothing compared to what you will become." The man said, crossing his arms.
Suddenly, Sora felt an sharp, violent pain surface in his heart. Looking down at his chest, he watched as a black claw stuck out from it and began to pull something out of him. Sora dropped to his knees, squenching in complete pain. Before long, a Shadow heartless burst from within him. In it's claws was Sora's heart. Sora's pretty blue eyes began to turn to a hazel color.
"See, it feeds from within you." The man said, smirking oddly.
"No..." Sora muttered, falling to ground. "I'm so sorry, Kairi."
Pulling it's sharp claw up, the Shadow drove towards Sora's heart, shattering it. Sora screamed, his eyes wide open to see that he was standing in front of the secret place entrance. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he looked around himself to see that nothing was behind him or infront of him. Kairi's voice snapped him out of his reverie as he ran in to the entrance.

"Where is he?"
Arms behind her back, Kairi sighed as she paced around the Secret Place, seeing all the pictures that she, Riku, and Sora had drew when they were mere children. Sound of footsteps made Kairi quickly turn around. She started to give a mean look, but stopped at the sight of Sora's pale, almost lifeless face. Running up to him, she touched his shoulder, in worry and fear.
"Sora, what's happening to you? What's wrong with you?" Kairi asked, worried.
"It's okay, Kairi. I'm fine." Sora smiled, hazily.
"No! You're lying. Sora, tell the truth. What's going on here?" Kairi asked, only to see Sora drop to his knees. He was breathing hard.
"Sora!" She screamed as she ran to him.
Holding him up, Kairi looked at the boy's pale face to see him shivering. For a moment, his entire body felt icy cold, like he'd been inside a freezer. Then, he began to become slightly distorted, like on a tv. Kairi gasped, seeing his body blink and fade.
"Sora! No, fight it!" Kairi yelled, tears surfacing in her eyes.
Sora flinched, breathing in as much air as he could. Kairi quickly pulled out her lucky charm and placed it in Sora's hand. She could see him struggling, the look of fear on his face, too. Kairi could feel panick pricking her on the neck, as though there was no hope.
"Sora, remember! Remember that our hearts are connected and that I'm with you all the way!"
"K-Kairi, I-I can't fight it.." Sora manage to whisper. "I-I-"
Soon, Kairi gasped as Sora just vanished in to thin air. Getting up, she looked around the Secret Place, the tears falling. She then couldn't hold it anymore. She began crying hard. Her teardrops wouldn't stop falling. She then looked up, realizing something.
"Riku..." She muttered.
In a quick flash, Kairi ran down the long, dirt like entrance to the Secret Place. If there was one person she needed right then and there, it was Riku. Hurrying to her boat, she looked back at the secret place and gasped at the ghostly like figure walking in to the Secret Place. Was someone following her and Sora? That didn't matter at the moment. All that matter was finding out where Sora was as she pushed the boat in to the water.
