Title: Connecting to Oblivion

Author: Third Rabbit

Setting: Lately, Sora has been having dreams of being tortured by a mysterious force. When he slowly starts to disappear, Kairi and Riku began to worry. In order to save Sora, the two must venture in to a world with no beginnings and no ends.

A/n: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of it's characters. Square Enix does. Sora is fifteen in this and this has no connections towards KH2.

Chapter six... Sorry for the wait. I had school and homework to do. School sucks, doesn't it? Anyway, enjoy....

Aros leaned against the brick wall of the hotel, his eyes lingering towards the night. The quiet, peaceful feeling the surfaced inside him began to make him wonder. Wonder what was really going to happen to him and Obsidian after his plan.

"If the darkness can ruin this world, we can go to the other side...." Obsidian told him, smiling widely.

"But how?" He remembered asking, "How can we bring ruin upon Traverse Town?"

Raising up, Aros stretched his arms out and began walking. His mission was too clear and too easy to be broken upon mere thoughts that lingered in his head.

"So, what do you want to find?"

Inside the abandon house, on the third district, Riku crossed his arms and glanced at a woman in dark clothes. Lulu's stoic personality was really getting on his nerves, but Kairi seemed to get along with the woman. Kairi nodded, placing a cup of water on the table she sat near.

"We're trying to find our friend. His name is Sora. This man really hurt him and took him away from us and our home." Kairi explained.

"And that's why you're here, right?"

A young woman suddenly closed the door, giggling at Riku's startled face. Her long, black hair cascade down her black. She wore light blue dress. The woman nodded to Kairi and looked at Lulu, who was simply shrugging.

"Yes, that's right. But, Obsidian said he was here. Did you see him?" Kairi asked, looking at the woman.

"Well, I'm not sure. I don't know how he looks or anything." The woman stated, smiling.

"Well, he's almost Riku's height and has spiky brown hair. His eyes were blue, but at one point, they were hazel. He wore a black longsleeve shirt and some blue jeans." Kairi explained, standing up.

The woman nodded. "I know of a boy who fits your description, but his name isn't Sora."

"Yes, his name is Aros. He lives in some apartments in the first district." Lulu continued.

"Can you take us to him, umm..." Riku paused, seeing the woman smile.

"Rinoa. My name is Rinoa." She replied, "And yes, I would be glad to take you two to him, but he's a bit of a pain and really annoying."

Aros glared as he shot passed a group of happy people. For some reason, Traverse Town was getting slightly over populated, since everyone claimed the heartless were gone. Stopping infront of the Third District, Aros looked around, then entered through the double doors.

"Sora!"

As soon as he stepped through them, a girl wrapped her arms around his waist, tightly. Startled, Aros looked down at the girl, only to see her crimson hair. His eyes snapped as he forced the girl off him. She tumbled over slightly, but caught herself. She looked at him, confused. Her blue eyes seemed to soften Aros.

"Sora, what's the matter with you?" She said.

Aros twitched. "Who? Who are you talking about?"

"It's me. Kairi. Don't you remember me?" The girl gazed at him, slightly pouting.

"Kairi.." Aros whispered, but shook his head. "No, I don't know you, but I do know that you're coming with me."

"I don't think so."

Aros looked up and placed a grim smirk on his face as a silver haired boy made his way towards them. A dark haired woman followed up. Riku's gaze seemed to lighten up at the sight of Aros as Aros seemed to be getting hyper.

"Sora, what are you doing?" Riku asked. "It's not like you."

"For the last time, my name is Aros. Not Sora! But, you won't have to worry about him for long."

"Why's that?" Riku frowned, pulling out his sword.

Aros narrowed his eyes. "You need to be more worried about yourselves then him. The darkness is slowly corrupting this world. Swallowing it whole. You two need to come with me. There's some who would like to see you."

"No thanks." Riku said, getting infront of Kairi. "Stand back, Kairi."

Aros shrugged. "Oi, you people just don't seem to understand. You can't beat me!"

Aros jumped back and held but his hands out. Suddenly, Oathkeeper and Oblivion appeared in his hands and he quickly took stance. Riku's mouth numb as Kairi shook her head, in complete denial.

"Where did you get those?" Riku hissed. "Those belong to Sora. He's the only one that can..."

"You must not know much on Keyblades, do you? There can only be one keyblade master, but there can be keyblade heroes." Aros stated, smirking.

"Oathkeeper," Kairi whispered, "I gave that to ... Sora. How?"

Before Kairi could say another world, Aros made his way up to Riku. Riku dodge the boy's combos, until Aros began using magic. Fire quickly circled the two boys as they continued to fight in a intesively. Hitting him on the head with some air chained combos, Aros flipped over Riku, and stood in the middle of everyone. Raising both Keyblades high, Aros smirked at Riku. Realization reached Riku as he looked at Rinoa and Kairi.

"Get away!! He's going to do Trinity Limit!"

Kairi's eye widen as Rinoa threw her to the floor and covered her. Flashes of multicolored light lit the entire district as Aros stuck the two Keyblades in to the ground and began swirling around. Rock and debris began scattering around the group as Riku dropped to the ground and covered. The last thing he could see was Aros' emotionless face looking down on him.

Obsidian looked at himself in the mirror of his apartment, a bright light beginning to surface inside the mirror. Suddenly, a familiar face appeared as his reflection. Obsidian nodded as he pushed back his long hair.

"It doesn't surprise me that you popped up. Who would've thought that the soul and the body would look face to face." Obsidian laughed. "That's funny. It doesn't make sense, does it, Ansem?"

Ansem gave a grim frown. "The only thing that I find amusing is that you've taken the Keyblade master's heart. Has he begun the transformation?"

"That's not what I would say," Obsidian looked away, "It's more like he's got amnesia than transforming. We did a similiar process, but I gain a concious after you sent me in to oblivion. But, now I can do more things. Now that I've got the boy's heart. I'll be able to open the other side and flood this and every world in to darkness."

Ansem laughed. "You? You're nothing but a mere shell. My shell that I got rid of. A concious and a heart won't help you. Without me, the soul, you won't make it."

"That's correct," Obsidian smirked, "I need a soul. That's where Riku comes in. Who better to take the soul of than the original keyblade master? Once Aros brings him and the girl here, things will only heat up."

"You fool! Do you really think that only one soul can satisfy you? You would be empty by the time you reach the other side." Ansem frowned.

"Who said that I was only going after Riku's? Why not take the soul of a pure hearted maiden and of the keyblade master's soul? I've got his heart, but not his body nor soul."

"If you take Riku and the girl's soul, that leaves their shells and souls to the other side. Then what?"

"That's another side, another story ... " Obsidian joked. "You'll understand soon. Why don't you try taking Riku's body after I take his soul, eh?"
