Chapter 7 Darkness
A/N: I want more reviews! I only have 9. *Sigh* Never mind. Umm . . . . . . . . I was thinking of doing a sequel for the story, but I'm not sure. Just wait till the end of this story and I'll ask you again. But, you'll probably ask for one after the last chapter because it kind of . . . . . . leaves you Wondering about what could have happened, and the ending is coming very near. *Sigh* So be thinking about it! ^_^

As Riku and Sora saw Kairi they went running up to her. "Hey, the boat is finished." Sora said. "Good, then you can go and get the other supplies we might need. Like food and clean water." Kairi responded.
They nodded there heads and walked back into the woods. Kairi turned her head back to the ocean and saw the sun quickly drop to the horizon till she could barley see it. She put the puppy down slowly and stood. *What's happening?* Nothing like that had ever happened before. She turned around to see Yuki was fully clothed. "What's with the sky? Does it always do this?" She asked Kairi. "No, this is the first." She said in response. She nodded her head and turned to stare at the sky with Kairi. There were no stars in the sky, just dark clouds.
She walked up to Kairi and grabbed hold of her arm. Somehow, to her, this darkness seemed very familiar. She pulled Kairi along to the edge of the woods and stopped. There, lying near a bush was two dead bodies. One of an old woman, and the other a man. Kairi walked up slowly to them and dropped to her knees and hugged her dead grandmother. She couldn't believe it. She was to shocked to cry. Kairi got up and dusted her knees of. "Come on. Let's go find Sora and Riku." She said as she walked into the woods.

They made it through the woods and was now walking across the bridge. Yuki stopped when they reached the door. "I don't think you want to go to the other side. They're already there." She said quietly. "Why? Who's already there?" She asked then shook her head, "I have to meet up with Riku and Sora." She opened the door and went inside. Yuki sighed and followed her in.
Kairi opened the door and slowly walked out. She took a couple of steps then stopped. There were little creatures out among the sand. They wobbled when the walked. Kairi would have thought they were cute if she didn't have a bad feeling about them. One jumped and sunk it long claws into Kairi's ankle making her scream in pain and fall to her knees. She looked down at the cut and saw the steady flow of blood pour out onto the sand. She was about to put her hand over the wound to stop the bleeding, but was stopped by Yuki who urged her to stand up. "We need to go somewhere away from them for a moment." She said. "I know where to go." She said as she limped over to a dark place in the stone and stopped. "Come on." She said as she walked into the darkness. Yuki followed her and stopped when she reached the opening. It was a small cave that had drawings on it. She went up to one and looked at it.
It was a drawing of a castle surrounded by flowers of all sorts. She turned around to see the puppy at her feet. She picked it up and looked over to Kairi. Kairi was sitting down looking at the cut at her ankle. She set the puppy down and went over to see it. As she got neared her, Kairi stood up and looked straight ahead as if someone had been standing there at the entrance to there small hideout.
"Kairi, is something wrong?" She asked. She kept looking straight ahead as if she didn't even hear what she had said. She looked in the direction Kairi was looking and saw nothing. Yuki looked back at and could barley see Kairi at all. She was transparent. You could see right through her. *What's happening?* She thought as she walked outside of the cave. She stepped out and bumped into Sora. "Is Kairi in there?" He asked. Yuki nodded her head as her shot past her and went into the cave. "Was that a keyblade?" She asked herself. She had seen the weapon that Sora had been carrying.
She stumbled as she was almost knocked to her knees. She turned around to see Heartless everywhere. She ran as fast as she could. She saw the hut that her and Kairi had come through and jumped on it and ran straight across the bridge that she saw. She slowed down as she saw somebody standing there. *That must be Riku.* She thought. She walked up to him and stopped. There was no ground to step on. It was all dark. Like a hole in the ground. She looked back out to Riku who stared back. The ground began to tremble and everything went black.

Sora ran in to see Kairi. She reached out for him. "Sora." She said weakly. She began to fall as everything rushed forward. Kairi seemed to rush at Sora as he opened his arms to catch her. Then she was gone. *Kairi . . . . .*
He ran outside to look for her, but didn't find her anywhere. He ran over to the place where he had last saw Riku. As he approached he saw that Riku was nowhere in sight. He stepped onto the little bit of land and looked around. The island wasn't there anymore. It was gone. All that was left was that piece of land he was standing on. The ground began to shake as a Heartless appeared. Sora took out his weapon and looked up at it. *That thing . . . . It's from my dream. Does that mean none of this is real.* He thought as he saw the Heartless reach down into the ground and pull up a big ball of light. He didn't know what it was. The Heartless held it above his head as it began to disappear. He shot at it and began to attack it again when his eyesight began to blur and he couldn't see anything. He stopped and took a couple of steps back. He slowly fell backwards and blacked out.
