A/N: Okay, I once again completely forgot what chapter this is!

Teek: ((is reading a book)) It's 14, baka.

Me: Really? Oh, yeah. I guess it is...

Teek: And you wonder why we call you "Twerp."

Me: I oughta slug you...

Chapter 14(A/N: Oooh, that's an unlucky number! ((Teek's book makes sudden contact with my head)) Ouchens!)

Later that night, as the storm raged, Mizu lied awake in bed. Something about this storm tickled at the back of her mind, like it was trying to bring a distant memory to the surface. The feeling brought goose bumps to her arms, and made the hair on the back of her neck stand on end.

This storm isn't natural, she realized. So, she rolled out of bed, and pulled off her night clothes, getting into the clothes she wore when she first arrived on the island. (A/N: In case anyone remembers or cares, the reason Mizu was so heavy when Riku pulled her out of the water was because she was wearing a breastplate from a suit of armor that just happened to be small enough to fit under the spaghetti-strap top she was wearing. She doesn't have the piece of armor now, because I don't feel like having her wear it. :P) She also buckled on the wooden scimitars that Sora and Selphie had given her, and checked to see if the shell Riku gave her was still there, along with the old pendant she had. Both were there, to her relief. She had a feeling she wouldn't be going back to bed anytime soon.

Making sure the scimitars were loose in their scabbards, an old habit that proved to her mind that she was once a warrior of some kind, Mizu steeled herself and went out into the raging storm. She arrived at the pier just in time to see Sora headed to the little island with the Paopu trees, where she thought she saw the outline of Riku in a brief flash of lightning.

She ran after Sora, hacking and slashing at the Shadow Heartless that she remembered seeing in her first dream. They were swarming everywhere, reminding Mizu of roaches.

When she finally made it to the island with the Paopu trees, she saw Sora and Riku standing there talking. Talking, of all things!

"Where's Kairi?" Sora shouted over the raging storm. "I thought she was with you!"

"The door has opened..."

"What?"

What?

"The door has opened, Sora! Now we can go to the outside world!"

"What are you talking about? We've gotta find Kairi!"

"Kairi's coming with us! Once we step through, we might not be able to come back. There's no turning back. But this may be our only chance."

"Riku!" Mizu shouted as she ran towards him. She'd heard every word, and Riku was starting to scare her. She stopped running as soon as she got close enough to grab his hand, which she did. Riku briefly smiled down at her, and squeezed her hand in a reassuring way. He pulled her closer, till she was flat against his chest, and wrapped his arm around her in a slightly protective way, seemingly without thinking about it.

Riku continued with his speech. "We can't let fear stop us! I'm not afraid of the darkness!"

But I am... Mizu thought as Riku held out his hand to Sora. Shadowy, black rings circled them, and Sora struggled to catch Riku's hand. Mizu remembered what had happened in her dream, and tried to tell Riku, but her mouth wouldn't move, as if she were frozen by the black portal. Just like in her dream...

No... No, it's happening again! Before she knew it, she was falling through darkness, Riku clutching her gently as she screamed in infinite terror.

Please, she pleaded to whatever Power that could hear her, please, don't make me forget. Let me keep my memories. Just this once...

She pressed her cheek to Riku's strong chest, and found that she was crying. Crying with fear. Fear at losing the brief happiness she had known with Riku.

"Riku, I love you," were the last words on her lips before she slipped into unconsciousness.

A/N: CLIFF-HANGER! This was the last chapter. Sorry I didn't mention that earlier, but I totally forgot.

Teek: That's rather obvious.

Me: ((plays with the duct tape again))

Teek: Merf... ((gives up trying to get me to stop with the duct tape))

Me: So, this is the one chapter I'm gonna actually ask you to review. I need an opinion. Or two. Or ten. Anyway, should I post the next fic in the series that I'm doing, which is the sequel to this fic, should I post a Christmas Crossover fic, a FF7 fic, FF8, a Dragon Ball Z fic, Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu Yu Hakusho, or a Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time fic?

Mizu: Please say KH, please say KH, please say KH...

Me: No influencing the votes, Mizu.

Mizu: Drat.

Me: So people, what is it you want me to mutilate next?
