Hello again! I have officially decided that I absolutely don't care. Are you happy of me? I am. Anyway, here is Chapter #3: We'll Stop Them! On to the story! Even if no one reads it!

Keeping the Light Chapter #3: Total Darkness

Disclaimer: I don't own it. Just accept it and we'll all go on with our lives ... with the lawyers.

"The heartless are back, Sora." Yuffie just had to puff it out.

"Th-they're what?" Sora stuttered.

"The ... heartless ... are ... back ... Sora!" Yuffie said slowly to make sure Sora understood her this time. She stood up and put her hands on her hips as Sora just gave her the best glare he could. She then laughed at him while doubling over and holding her stomach.

"What! What'd I do?" He asked confused and annoyed now.

"You just look so cute when you do that." She gasped out, searching for air. Sora, more mad now, clenched his fist and, in defeat, gave her his trademark pout. She just laughed more as Aeris started to giggle.

"Stop it!" He whined at the two girls and pouted more. After about five minutes of Sora pouting, Riku being confused, and Yuffie and Aeris laughing, everything got calm and Cid started to wake up.

"Hmm? What ... happened?" He asked to no one in particular. Everyone looked at him, Riku still in confusion and now sitting on the steps by the door. "Ah, shit! Get him out of here!" He said, pointing at Riku and now sitting up.

"What? Me? What did I do?" He asked, looking at Cid and pointing to himself. Everyone looked at Cid and then at Riku, now in confusion.

"You're the one that attacked me!" He said as he stood up.

"What are you talking about Cid?" Sora asked. "He was with me the whole morning."

"Even so, he's the one who attacked me." He said, glaring at Riku as he sighed and stood up to leave.

"Riku! Where are you going?" Sora asked, going towards Riku and putting his hand on his shoulder. Riku did nothing but pull away and walk through the door, he didn't even look back at Sora. "Riku? ... Now look what you did!" He yelled at Cid.

Riku walked down the steps in total dismay. It seemed as though everyone hated him for things he didn't do. He sat down and one of the steps and sighed. He then lye down in the step of which he was sitting and looked towards the sky, like he used to four or five years ago on the poupu tree. A few minutes past when he saw a star go out and he stood up in the wonderment of why.

"What the- is happening?" He asked himself. He walked towards the middle of the square when he saw another go out. "Oh no. It's happening all over again." He watched wide eyed as they suddenly all went out, along with the street lights and everything turned to darkness.

******

"What the hell?" Cid asked when the lights turned off.

"Huh?" Aeris asked the darkness as Yuffie screamed.

"What ... happened?" Sora asked as he remembered Riku. "Riku!" He yelled out and busted through the Accessory Shop door to find even more darkness.

"Sora! Wait! Don't go out there." You could here Aeris' voice as the door shut.

And yet ... Another cliffhanger for those who are reading my most wonderful (I wish!) story ever! And the characters may seem OOC because I've only played Kingdom Hearts and not any Final Fantasies, except for Final Fantasy X. But other than that, nope, I haven't. Anyway, please R+R if you are reading. Thank you those who are nice enough to review and make me happy!
