"Everything hurts…" Ansem groaned. The door wasn't open. Curse Sora…Curse all of them…Ansem arose, looking around.
All the Heartless on this side are gone…
Ansem tried to think, ignoring the pain he was in.
"Aleck that's it!" Ansem shouted. Aleck wasn't a Heartless and was devoted to a point of blindness to folly. The boy was right that hiring him wouldn't be regretted. Everything could be rebuilt. Aleck probably cleaned everything and would fight mob mentality single-handedly.
"As long as the boy isn't dead," Ansem mumbled. He laughed at the affection he gained for the poor fool. And yet…why Aleck loved him so was still a mystery to him.
"Look at that boy!" Do you think he knows?" inhabitants of Destiny Island murmured amongst themselves. Aleck looked around. He heard Sora as from this place. The whispering was getting annoying.
"Where the Hell is the boy named Sora?!" Aleck snarled.
"He's not here," a girl said. Aleck turned to her.
"Then where is he?" Aleck demanded.
"We don't know," the girl replied.
"Nobody knows anything!" Aleck shouted.
"Calm down!" the girl shouted, "Why do you want him? You're obviously not one of his friends or I'd know you or you'd be nicer."
"So you're…Kairi…" Aleck murmured.
"Why do you want Sora?" Kairi asked again.
"To kill him," Aleck replied flatly, "And don't stop me."
"How can you expect me to do nothing?" Kairi asked.
"I told you to do nothing," Aleck replied. Still suspicious, Aleck kept looking around the island. He never was told the location of Kingdom Hearts. Aleck thought. Things could be worse…was he abandoned? No! That couldn't be true!
Aleck sat down on the pier and tried to think. His only lead was bust. Everyone was against him too.
"You're not Riku…are you?" Kairi asked quietly from behind Aleck, "You look just like him…"
Aleck did indeed look like Riku with his blue eyes and silvery hair. The only obvious physical difference outside of clothing was Aleck's twice pierced left ear.
"No," Aleck replied, "Never seen the boy in my life."
"Why do you want to kill him?" Kairi asked.
"I don't need to tell you," Aleck replied, "It shouldn't be hard to figure out either."
"Heartless…" Kairi murmured, "Why?"
"You wouldn't understand," Aleck responded, "No one ever does."
Aleck arose and decided to leave, but suddenly, a small thicket by the waterfall caught his eye. He walked towards it. He moved some branches aside to find a small cave. He crawled in.
"Don't!" Kairi watched Aleck go in.
