A/N: Short chapters to start than they'll get longer. I'm trying to emphasize pain and suffering in this while throwing romance and friendship into it. The funeral chapter is up next. I'm working on this touching eulogy to be read. Enjoy.

Destiny Islands, home of the world's newest heroes, Sora, Riku, and Kairi. But now only two remained. The sun showed brightly at the island. After Sora had defeated the Heartless last year the world seemed at peace. But people are never at peace with themselves…

A young girl with short pink hair walked down a set of stairs to a boy with white hair. The girl wore a beige tank top and a pair of jeans. The boy wore a black t-shirt with a pair of baggy pants. The girl's name was Kairi and she was fourteen years old. The male was Riku and he was sixteen.

"Riku, have you seen Sora around?" she asked him.

Sora had been casually dating Kairi as of the recent.

"Afraid not. I've just been sitting around here on the beach."

"Damn. Maybe he's in the old cabin."

Kairi walked over across the beach toward the old cabin. It was rotting and smelled horrible. Mold grew noticeably on the wood. The green patches of the stuff made the cabin even look uglier.

"Sora?" asked Kairi as she opened the door.

What she saw was not what see expected. Sora was dead, on the ground without a head. It was obviously a suicide from how it was done. Blood covered the wooden floors, blood of a hero.

Kairi let out the loudest scream of her life.

"What's wrong?" shouted Riku sprinting at her. "Oh my God! Sora's …. No! Who idd this?"

"He- h- he di-did…" Kairi sobbed.

Kairi fell into Riku's arms choking in tears.

"Why would he do this? Why?" screamed Kairi.

"Please settle down." Riku asked.

"I-I-Why?" she sobbed.

Riku just held Kairi in his arms without a word. Riku didn't need words to show he cared. She knew he did.
