Anaretsu: I'm busting out some liquor! Alright, no more sucky fanfic!

6H:There are TWO sequals, you know.

Anaretsu: ...NOOOOOOO!


Kingdom Hearts-Shattered Fragments

Fragment 66-Good Luck


"Aw, damn it to hell, kid! What'd ya do ta this thing?" Cid barked as he inspected Ryu's ship.

"I didn't do anything! It was all the work of the heartless, I bet. So don't point your finger at me!" The fragment hunter yelled back. "So, can it be fixed, or what?" he demanded, leaning against the wall. Cid ducked back under the ship.

"Hmm...I dunno kid. Gi' me an hour and I'll see what I can do." the mechanic replied. Ryu sighed and walked out of his shop, stepping out into the night air. A weak breeze fluttered down and attempted to play with his hair. He looked up at the stars.

'They say the stars are other worlds that are really far away...' he thought. 'Mom, Dad, and everyone else are on one of those stars, back home. And Cedeile might be on one of them too...' He proceeded to walk back to the house in the 3rd district, where the others were waiting for him. He walked along, not really paying attention to anything, kicking a rock every now and then. Some kids ran past him, playing a game of tag.

"Who's that guy?"

"I've never seen him around before!"

"His clothes look strange..." they whispered. Giggling, they ran off, hoping that he hadn't noticed. Thankfully, he didn't, or else Traverse Town would've been down two in their population. In truth, Ryu felt like he wanted to rip someone's arm off or something.


"You're back, Ryu." Aru said as he came in wordlessly and pratically threw himself on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. Aru sighed, looking at him sadly, and then turned back to the others.

"How long has he been like this?" Aerith asked.

"Since Cedeile...well, you know..."

"This is awful! One of the masters...and Cedeile was such a good kid, too..."Yuffie said, plopping down bakcwards in a chair and resting her head on it's back. "This just really sucks..."

"Tell me about it." Aru said. "And Riku...well, we don't know what's going on with him..." Aru said, looking at the chain in her hand. Sora suddenly stood up.

"I'm going to Hallow Bastion! To find them both!" Sora stated. His sudden outburst was met with surprised stares and silence. Ryu shifted on the bed behind him.

"Cedeile's not there. Didn't you listen to her last words? 'I'll be waiting for you at the last world...'" he responded. Sora turned back and pouted at him.

"I don't care. I'm going to Hallow Bastion. There may be a clue there about where she is! How else will I find out what the 'last world' is?" he spat. Ryu sat upright, glaring.

"I'm pissed off enough as it is. Don't make me make another master disapear." He threated, navy eyes completely serious and hard.

"Stop it, guys!" Kairi begged. "There's no need to fight! We're all on the same side!" The boys glared at each other a little longer and then turned away, 'hmph-ing' at each other.

"Do you really think Riku is still at Hallow Bastion?" Donald asked Sora.

"Yeah. He's gotta be."

"I hope he's okay..."Aru said quietly. They all fell into silence. Suddenly, Kairi spoke up.

"I feel really bad...that I can't help any of you, at all."

"Kairi-" Sora tried, but she kept going.

"I can't fight the heartless, and I can't help you find them or tell you where to look. I don't know if I'm good for anything. However, I do know...that the worlds are in good hands. All of you posess unbelievable determination and strength that, if used properly, can stop the heartless once and for all. You have to pull together, all of you, or else you will never be able to win. Don't ask me how I know this, but it's something I found out while I was gone. I know too many things now...too many to ever go back to being the former me."

"Kairi...when did you-?" She stood up.

"Maybe it's part of being the seventh princess." she said. "Sora, Ryu-the two of you have to fight together and put aside your differences. Ryu, I know you have your pride as a fragment hunter, but didn't you once tell Sora that you'd put your true self aside to help him?" Ryu looked at her, awed.

"How-?"

"Sora, you have to accept that Ryu wants to find Cedeile too. I know you just want to find her, but if you take it too seriously then you'll never get anything done. Let others help you." She turned to Aru and the others. "Donald, if you never accept Aru as a mage, like yourself, then you'll never be able to unleash the true power of your magic." He looked to the floor, a little ticked off that a young girl was telling him what to do. "Aru, if you focus too much on your lost memories, then your magic will never reveal it's true power either." The short mage nodded.

"Miss Kairi...do you really think we can do it?" Goofy asked. She smiled.

"Yes. However, if you never get over your dislike of fighting, it may never happen." Yuffie and Aerith looked at each other, confused.

"Then let's head off to Hallow Bastion again." Sora said. "The keyhole is still up for grabs. Is everyone ready?" Everyone nodded. "Aerith, Yuffie...we may not come back after this." Aerith nodded.

"I know, Sora. Good luck...to all of you."

"Kair-huh?" Sora turned around, but the girl was gone. "Where'd she go? Don't tell me it was another vision."

"The waterway..." Aru muttered.

"What?" Sora asked her.

"Kairi is in the waterway..."she told him. Sora nodded.

"Can the rest of you give me a moment alone with her?" he asked.

"Why not?" Ryu anwsered, standing up. "It's not like we're completely cold and wouldn't let you say goodbye to your girlfriend in private."

"S-she's not-" Ryu placed a hand on his shoulder and stared right into his sky blue eyes.

"Don't be an idiot like me, Sora. Go to her." Sora nodded, and ran out of the house. Ryu slightly smiled. 'To claim what is precious...you have to decide what it is first...'


Kairi stood on the rocky shore of the waterway, looking at the mosiaic in the back. Sora, who had been running, skidded down to a walk.

"It's pretty, isn't it?" Kairi told him. "That picture in the back there. It seems so out of place down here, though." He smiled weakly and approached her. "You're going now, aren't you?"

"Yeah. I have to."

"I can't go with, can I?"

"No. You'd kind of get in the way."

"Yeah...well then, you'll need something...so I can watch over you." She took out a small object and placed it in one of his hands. "It's my good luck charm!" she told him. "You can have it for now, but you have to give it back." Sora looked at it for a moment and then smiled at her.

"I'll bring it back! I promise. And I'll bring back Riku and Cedeile, too."

"I'm sure you will." They stood in silence, looking at each other for the last time. "Just...be careful, Sora."

"I will, don't worry. I'll be back before you know it. Trust me." Kairi looked out into the dark water, it's sounds echoing off the cave ceiling.

"The water reminds me of home. I remember the four of us hanging out together on the islands. I remember all the fights you and Riku got into...all the ideas you and Cedeile came up with...all the fun we used to have. It's all gone, though. I don't know if we'll ever go back home."

"Sure we will! I'm sure that after all this, the island will come back. You'll see." He told her, taking her hands in his. "We'll all go home together and we'll see our families again. And Cedeile's mom will yell like no tomorrow." he added, laughing slightly at the last part. Kairi half smiled. "I have to go." Sora said, stepping back and letting Kairi's hands slip out of his. He gave her one last smile and then turned, running out of the cave.

"Good luck..."


He met the others in the main square of the 1st district. He stopped at the top of the stairs, looking down at them all.

"Guys..."he said nervously.

"Sora, are you ready?" Donald asked.

"We're with you all the way! A-yuk!" Goofy added.

"Come on-Riku and Cedeile are waiting for us!" Aru said. Sora's eyes stopped on Ryu. The dark eyes of the fragment hunter and the light eyes of the keyblade master exchanged all that they wanted to say. Ryu slowly nodded at him, and Sora, slowly, let a smile claim his face.

"Okay! Let's go!" He ran down the stairs and towards the world's exit. The others followed behind him, ready to take on whatever was thrown at them.

6H: That's all you got? 'That was awful?' You're really running out of material, huh.

Anaretsu: So sue me! It's been 66 chapters!

Lakchine began to circle around him, floating in the air, her throwing knives ready. Ryu held his sword out in front of him as he watched her with his menacing navy eyes.

"Who was it, Ryosuke?" she asked him, tauntingly. "Who was your most important person, who you threw the memory of away so carelessly. Was it your dad?"

"No!" He yelled. "It wasn't my dad!"

"No? Was it your poor mother?"

"Not my mom...it wasn't her..." he responded, searching for where Lakchine would strike next.

"How about your dead brother, Seiki. You would want to throw away the memories of his death, wouldn't you?"

"It wasn't him!" he yelled, getting really ticked off.

"Your other brothers and sisters? Was it one of them, maybe?"

"No! It wasn't any of my family! I would never throw my memories of them away!" he yelled.

"I see. How fitting that our battle is taking place in your hometown of all places." She let out an evil laugh as he growled at her. "Then who is your most important person, boy? Who is it, if not one of your family?"

"It was..."he struggled with the name. "It was..." He couldn't quite grasp it with his tounge, but he knew that he knew the name of the girl most important to him. A face came to mind-a girl with long black hair and green eyes, but he did seem to know her. At last, he thought of a name. "Na...Namine. She's my most important person-Namine, the heartblade master. I promised her I would protect her and that I'd never let her die before me." Lakchine smirked.

"Oh really..."
