Me: I do not own any of the Kingdom Hearts characters, but some of the other characters are mine. Don't steal my stories, or you will be very sorry.

Ps: I have decided to take the faeries out of my story in the next chapter. Any comments about that leave it in my review.

This chapter is dedicated to annathehitokiri. Thanks for your review!

Kairi woke up as she stared at the ceiling above her. She gasped, as she groaned lightly.

"Do not move, Lady Kairi. Your wound can open." The maid stepped in and helped her sit up, as Kairi sighed and looked at the maid.

"Is he always like that?" There was silence.

"Oh, Master Anthony?" The maid shook her head. "Not always. He use to be a kind, gentle person who hated war. But I guess since he got the news about his father, his dark side took over."

"Really?" Kairi never would have guessed. To her, Anthony was a bloody killer, much like his father. She didn't know how he had another life, let alone a close relationship between Ansem and Anthony. Kairi sighed, and looked down.

"Have no worries, Lady Kairi. He'll be ok sooner or later." The maid bowed, and left the room. Kairi looked over at her ivory sword, as she stumbled over to the table and rested.

'There's something about him that I can't put my finger on…' she thought to herself. 'I have to find out.' Kairi groaned, and tied her sword to her belt. She sighed, and sneaked out of the large oak door. A small machine whirling was in the distance, as a flash of small, red light flashed on Kairi. Didn't bother to take notice, she moved on. Alone in the dark halls gave her a small chill down her neck, but she swallowed her fears and kept walking. A small rustle was heard, as Kairi walked over to the window. A man dressed in full back sneaked out of the bushes, as Kairi picked up the bow and arrow beside her. Stretching the string, she shot the sharp arrow. It made a small whisk sound through the air, as the cry of pain ran throughout the garden. She walked out of the entrance door, as she walked carefully towards the anonymous man. The arrow stuck straight out of his back. Holding a napkin in her hand, Kairi pulled the arrow out. She bend down as a small glitter of light caught her eye. She snatched it, and ran back into her room.

"Where is Farfa?" Sora walked around the room, muttering under his breath. A crow came through the window and landed on the table. With eyes as black as the sky, the crow screeched and flew out, leaving a note on the table. Walking cautiously towards the note, as he snatched it up quickly. He read it carefully, and crunched the paper in his hands. He growled.

"What?" Asked Elisa.

"Farfa got captured by Riku and Sky." Sora sighed. Elisa shook her head, as a small glitter figure appeared in front of Sora's face.

"Tinkerbell?" Sora looked out the window, as Peter Pan and Wendy flew through the window.

"Well, if it isn't Sora!" Peter Pan chuckled.

"How did you guys get here? I thought the walls…" Sora stuttered.

"The walls got destroyed again when Riku got together with the dark side." Said Wendy. "And we knew that it has something to do with you, so we came and find you."

"Thanks, guys." Sora's head drooped down. "But I don't know if Riku can be rescued. And I still have to worry about Kairi too!" Silence filled the room, as Peter Pan slapped Sora on the back.

"Don't worry! We'll go get Kairi first." Peter Pan sprinkled some pixie dust on Sora. "That should do it."

"Wendy, can you stay with Elisa?" Wendy looked over at the earth goddess.

"Of course. Come back safely, Peter." Peter Pan and Sora flew out the window and out of sight. Glowing with anger, Tinkerbell flew quickly and rested on Sora's shoulders.

"We don't even know where Kairi is though!" Sora closed his eyes, as the sound of Kairi came into his head.

'No matter where you are, I'll always be with you.' Sora gasped, as he took out the oath keeper key chain, as he clipped it to the end of his key blade.

"Sora?" Sora looked over at Peter Pan, and smiled. Sora yelled as the oath keeper tugged at his arm, dragging him to the north.

"Let's go, Tinkerbell!" Peter Pan flew right behind Sora, as Sora held on to the key blade with both of his hand.

'Kairi, we're coming.'

Riku sat down on the wooden chair, as Sky stared at him.

"What are you looking at?" Asked Riku. His voice was now deeper, as if someone overshadowed him.

"N…nothing." Sky walked towards Riku, and rested her head on his shoulder. "Why aren't they here yet, darling?" Riku scuffed, and looked at Sky.

"It isn't that easy to find this hide out, you know." Riku floated up, and stared out the window. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head. He bend down, and groaned as he grasp his head tightly.

"Riku?" Sky walked over to Riku.

(a/n: This part can get a little confusing. The 'old Riku' is the nice, funny, hot Riku. Then 'Riku' is the evil, floating, funny voice, and still hot Riku. I just want to make that clear.)

"Get away from me!" Images of the old Riku appeared and disappeared out of his head, as if a slideshow was activated. He groaned, and screamed as the old Riku's soul came floating out.

"You…can't…take me over like this!" The old Riku struggled, as he made an attempt to get out.

"Oh no, you don't!" Riku grabbed the dark sword on his table, and stabbed it into his heart. The old Riku screamed loudly. He disappeared, for only his voice can be heard in the distance. Riku groaned, and held the sword in his hand.

"Riku, are you ok?" Sky placed her hand on his shoulder. Riku panted and looked up.

"I'm fine." he groaned. "And I can ensure you that will never happen again." Riku sat down on the chair, and sighed. Deep inside his heart, old Riku's eyes were getting heavier. He slowly fell deeper and deeper into darkness, as his silver hair flowed swiftly against the wind.

'So this is what it's like in the darkness…' he reached his hand out 'I'm stuck, can't escape from the dark…Sora, Kairi…' He slowly closed his eyes, and fell deeper into darkness.

Kairi placed the sword by her bed, as she held the gold necklace in her hand. She opened it carefully. There was a black and white picture of a family of three, smiling towards the camera. Kairi immediately recognized Ansem, but was unsure about the others. The face of the woman standing behind Ansem was scrapped off, as if the owner didn't want to know who it was. Kairi stared at the picture of the baby, as she squinted her eyes. A sudden knock alarmed Kairi, as she hid it under her pillow.

"Kairi? I want to talk to you." Anthony sat down next to Kairi, and stared at her in the eye. "I'm sorry about what happened. I just wanted to…battle, I guess."

"It's…its ok." Kairi looked up at Anthony. "Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Huh?" he was puzzled.

"About your family, that is." Anthony was quiet, as he shook his head.

"As you already know, Ansem was really my father. He forbids me to ask him about my mother, so I never knew anything about him. I just got so mad at him one day, and I just ran away." Anthony shook his head. "But when my father died, I knew that all these belonged to me, since I had no brothers or sisters."

"Oh…" Kairi looked down. "But why did you want me here? Why isn't it some other girl, from some other world? Why must it be me?" Anthony chuckled.

"I knew you would ask." He stood up. "Follow me." Kairi followed him out the door, as they walked into this door at the end of the hall. Anthony took out a small key, and unlocked the door. Kairi stepped in, as the elevator whirled. They went down to the deeper end of the castle, as Anthony opened yet another door.

"Where…where am I?" Kairi looked around at the pile of old books. She looked up and stared at this picture of a woman with long red hair.

"Kairi, I've been studying down here for a while. According to the legend of my family tree, every 200 years a disaster will happen. It just so happens to be my dad. It also says that a girl will come out and aid the loved ones of the dead." Kairi looked back at Anthony.

"But what has this got to do with me?"

"Kairi, you see that picture up there?" Kairi gave the picture on the wall another glance. She gasped, as her eyes opened wide. She trembled, as she covered her mouth with her two hands.

"Kairi, you are that girl that's suppose to help the loved ones." Anthony placed his hands on Kairi's shoulders. "Kairi, we didn't meet because of a coincidence. We met because of fate." Kairi looked at the picture of the young woman with the red hair, as the picture started shuffling itself. The picture slowly turned into an image of Kairi.

"Do you get it now? Do you understand the reason I didn't choose anybody else?" Kairi looked up at Anthony, as a light glow surrounded her body. Kairi closed her eyes, as she turned into a full grown adult. She fell back, and fainted.

"Kairi, Kairi!"

Author's note
Kinda glad that's over. It took me a while to think up what to do next. I think I might stop at chapter 15 or 20, for it depends on how much I type for each story…as always, R&R!

XWhit3xStaRx: Lol, yes, I am updating now. Kinda proud, actually. It's really good that you haven't thought about him. Call me and we'll hang out, k? And we must not forget about Ava.

Annathehitorkiri: Thanks for the comment! I might write more Kingdom Hearts story later on.

Karin Starsen: Yes, Riku is still evil, unfortunately…But he won't die, because he's going to be in the last chapter. So no worries!

XWhit3xStaRx: Omg, Yellowstone! I love that place…the moose, the animals, the trees, the moose, the cabin, the moose…-Diana coughs- oh, sorry about that. I can't believe school is starting again! -Ava screams loudly- oo
