Chapter five: Time for the truth

"Because I love you, Riku! That's why I came back to you! If you don't love me, you'll have to kill me to save Kairi!" Her words repeated over and over again in his head. 'She loved me and I never noticed until then. How could I be so stupid not to see that?' Riku thought. Ansem took over his body. Only his soul and heart remained.

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet raptured light

It ends here tonight

"Alex, where are you?" His heart ached for her. "Riku! Riku! RIKU!" Her voice cried out his name. It told him she wanted to see him again. "I have to take back my body from Ansem if I want to see her again." He said.

"Do you really think you can take back this body?" Ansem's voice asked. "IT'S MY BODY, ANSEM! NOT YOURS!" Riku yelled. "Tch, tch. Such a violent child." Ansem pointed at the image of Riku and shouted, "Pain!"

Stings of darkness shot from his fingertips to Riku's heart. He was in a lot of pain and he cried in agony.

"Huh?" The glass window behind Alex cracked a little. "Did you hear something?" "No, sorry, Alex. We didn't." Sora's friend, Leon answered. Alex sighed and muttered something about Hollow Bastion. "What did you say?" Leon's partner, Yuffie asked.

"I think she said, 'Hollow Bastion is the worst place to be now since it's infested with heartless, which are growing in number and strength.'" Sora replied. He seemed he and Kairi were the only ones that could understand Alex's mumbling. "She's right. They are growing stronger. But, something else is off." Kairi said.

"Your friend, Riku is in right in the middle of the problem." Alex added. Everyone turned to look at her. "What do you mean, Alex?" Leon asked. Alex sighed, "He's involved because a person named Ansem has control over his body." "Wait, did I hear you say Ansem?" Yuffie asked. Alex nodded. "Yeah, you did."

"Okay, Ansem's evil. But, how'd Riku get into that mess?" Sora looked at Alex for the answer, "I bet you know, Alex." "How'd you figure out that I knew Riku?" The green-eyed girl asked. Sora smirked, "After you disappeared, I asked Riku how you two knew each other. He said you two were friends. 'Fess."

"You're not gonna believe me because of my appearance." Alex looked away from them and said, "I was Riku's partner. We both worked for Maleficent. After we got the princess called Belle, they let me go free." "You what?!" Kairi shrieked, "But, you look so innocent like a pure angel."

"I know. I get that a lot." Alex snapped. Then, another image of Riku appeared. "Look, Sora and Kairi. I'm sorry. Alex, I'm sorry for the way I acted back at Hollow Bastion. Now, you've got to get to the End of the World now, Sora! You have to seal the door! Alex, you have to stay where you are. It'll be too dangerous if you come along with Sora." After that, he disappeared.

"It looked like he read your mind, Alex." Yuffie turned to look at her. But, she was gone. "Where'd she go?" Kairi asked. "She's quick like Yuffie. But, she can't hide forever." Leon and Yuffie ran out the door in search of Alex. "Are they gone?" Alex asked.

"Yup." Sora replied. Alex ran down from the roof and walked right through the door. "Riku is right. You do have to stay here." Kairi said gently. "But I..." But, Sora cut Alex off. "No buts. It's too dangerous." Sora snapped.

"I nearly got killed by your friend Beast a few days ago and I'm still alive." Alex protested. 'I want to see Riku again. One last time.' Her eyes were looking down at the floor instead of Sora. Kairi noticed this and that her eyes showed sadness and loneliness. "You love him, don't you?" Kairi asked Alex, who slowly nodded.

Again, the ghost of Alex's mother appeared. "Mom, you're supposed to be in the farplane. First, you appear when I dove into my heart. And now, here in Traverse Town." Alex turned to face the ghost. "Well, you were supposed to stop Riku, remember." The ghostly woman snapped. Then, the door swung open and Cid and Aerith walked in. Cid's jaw dropped. "Leila, what the hell is going on? You're dead!" "Hello Cid, Aerith." Alex's mom AKA Leila greeted.

"Wait, you know them?!" Alex screamed at her mother. "Yes, dear. I guess you don't remember you were born in Hollow Bastion like them a year after Yuffie Kisaragi." "It's weird, talking to a person from the Farplane really." Kairi whispered to Sora. "This is so not my day." Alex muttered.

"Leila, the priestess?" Aerith looked puzzled. "The one and only." Leila nodded. "Okay. Can we just get back to the manner at hand please?" Alex begged. "Alexia, why are being this annoying?" Leila asked.

"Because I want to get this over with unlike the rest of us." Alex sounded really annoying now. "Shut up and listen or leave." Aerith snapped. "I'll leave then." Alex ran past them through the door behind Aerith and into the Second district.
Sarah: And from where I left off, Sora has to get the gummi part and all that other stuff. Seal Hollow Bastion keyhole and everything else.

Sienna: Don't tell me you're skipping to when Sora says, "Kingdom Hearts is...light."

Jasmine: Yeah, she is. Because, she has no idea what the hell Sora has to do.

Sarah: Okay. I haven't realized it until now but I don't really like Rikairi fics. It should be Sokairi.

Sienna: Whatever, Sarah. It's your story. And I love to write them since you have nothing to do.

Jasmine: I never have time to write a fic.

Please r&r.
