"Uh...Kairi? Is the door really that interesting?" Cedeile asked the red head, who had been staring at the mentioned door for about a half hour now. Cedeile was stuck sitting on the floor with two snake like creatures wrapped around her. Kairi was possesed and didn't respond to anything Cedeile said. "Well, Kairi, don't worry, because I'm sure Sora is still sane, and he'll come here and get us out of this mess, so don't worry. Not that you seemed worried to begin with..." Cedeile looked around the cave for the billionth time. Suddenly, footsteps could be heard on the sand.

"Sora?" Cedeile hoped, looking towards the footsteps. Indeed, it was him, but now he was carrying what looked like a large key. "Maybe you've flipped too, Sora. Anyway, I'm glad you're here. Something isn't right with Kairi and Riku put this bizarre spell on me..." she stopped when she noticed Sora not even looking at her. "What? What is wrong with me today? Is it just national 'Ignore Cedeile' day? Come on, damn it! Sora, listen to me!" Sora stepped forward.

"Kairi! You're okay!"

"I wouldn't say that, exactly..." Cedeile replied. Slowly Kairi turned, a wistful look on her face, her eyes empty of life.

"Sora..." she wimpered. Suddenly, the door behind her burst open and she flew foward. Sora held out his arms to catch her.

"KAIRI!" He yelled, but she went through him.

"Holy! Is that...is that even possible?" Suddenly, eveything began to shake and the walls crumbled, rocks flying into the sky. Sora and Cedeile looked upward to the dark sky and watched as a huge, black creature decended downward upon them. "What the!"

"Just like my dream..." Sora murmered.

"What dream, Sora?" she asked. But he ignored her-or didn't hear her- and held his key at ready, like a sword. When the creature landed on the small chunk of island left, the battle began. Cedeile watched as Sora lashed and slashed at the huge beast, as well as other, smaller creatures. "This is...so unreal...but, Sora...it's like he's giving it his all. This fight...it's all so...like I've seen this before somewhere...Sora, please win. And please save me..." She prayed. Finally, Sora delivered the last blow, and the creature roared as it disappeared into a light in the sky. Sora turned to where Cedeile sat and walked forward. He raised his key above his head and brought it down. Cedeile squeezed her eyes closed, and hear the screeching of the creatures around her. She opened her eyes as she looked up at Sora-whose eyes grew wide.

"Cedeile? You were here the whole time?" he asked.

"Duh! I was trying to yelled out to you and you ignored me!"

"I didn't hear you. I didn't even see you until I got rid of those monsters around you. You just...appeared..."

"So I was invisible?" Sora suddenly grabbed her arms.

"Who did this to you?" he demanded.

"Riku did. By the way, where is he? He is so dead when I!"

"He's gone. He disapeared into the darkness."

"I see. What's going on?"

"I'm not sure, but it has something to do with these monsters, and this." he said, showing the key to her. The ground began to tremeble beneath them. Cedeile fell forward, grabbing onto Sora.

"Uh...what's happening now?"

"Look below us! The island is breaking up!" Indeed, cracks were forming in the ground, and the winds picked up, lifting the two off the ground. They held each other tightly.

"Sora!"

"Cedeile, hang onto me. Don't let go!" he half smiled at her. "I guess I'm gonna show you those other worlds after all, huh?"

"Yeah!" she yelled over the winds as they were being torn apart by the invisible force that lifted them into the sky. They slipped out of each other's grasp, and soon only their hands were clenched together. "I promise!" she yelled. "We'll see them together!"

"I promise too!" Sora yelled back, as their hands parted, and thy flew up into the light in the sky. Then everything went black.

Cedeile felt herself falling down into the darkness as the voice returned.

Heartblade...

'Huh?' Cedeile thought, her head pounding and her body feeling very heavy now. Her eyes seemed clamped shut, as she fought to open them.

Heartblade...

You must make it to the final purification. Only you can save...him...

"Sora!" She yelled, jetting upright. She gasped, shaking her head. She lifted her hands to her face to find one had something in it- a staff with an indigo handle. Toward the top of it were tiedthree ribbons of pale pink and light purple. And on the very end of the staff was the gold outline of a heart shape. This thing, whatever it was, seemed to be made of metal. "What the heck is this?" She stood up and brushed off her shorts. Then she looked at the ground. It was unfamillar...and come to think of it, so were the boxes she landed on, the walls around her... the buildings...

"WHERE AM I?" she yelled at the sky in a panic.

6H: heh heh. Another cliffie. Don't worry, this is Kairi/Sora, not Sora/Cedeile. They're just friends!

Anaretsu: Yeah...right.

6H:No, no, no! Cedeile meets someone else.

Anaretsu: Great.

6H: Reveiws are needed to keep this fic going!

Anaretsu: So don't review!

6H:Anaretsu! Please ignore her!
