Wow I am so sorry about not being able to write. I had a two week trip where I couldn't get anything done. And for anyone who reads The Good Die Young, I'm hoping to update that soon as well. I'm trying ;D. Just got back so anyways let the story begin!

Disclaimer: Are you stupid?

Chapter 3

Never ending

I was free. I don't know how. I don't know when. I don't know any of those questions. Why, who…anything. But I was free. I looked around at my surroundings. It all looked vaguely familiar. Almost like a dream. I pinched myself. Nope. No dream. I know I've been here before. But now I felt so out of place. I could feel my darkness. MY darkness.

I felt a soft tap on the top of my head. Again. And again. What was this? I looked up to see small drops of water falling from the sky. What had I called these so long ago? Ra…Rain? Yes that was it. It felt good to feel water again. But it was cold, so I would need to find a place to stay. I looked ahead and saw a hut on the beach. I decided, what the hell? I needed a place and there one was, why not? I began to walk over to the hut, as I saw a bright flash in the sky and then a loud bang. What was this wonder? Thunder? Lightening? Which one was which? I couldn't remember. Darkness shrouded my thoughts. Before I knew it I found myself on the doorstep of the hut. I No lights were on inside so I decided no one was home. I reached forward and grabbed the doorknob, and then realized how tired I was. I didn't know how I had made it all the way here. I was drained, almost dead. I opened the door and stepped inside, feeling a rush of warm air hit me in the face. It felt rejuvenating. I looked around at my surroundings. Nothing too special. But there was something about this place. Something familiar. I didn't feel up to dwelling on it much longer, so I decided that I needed a place to sleep in here. I looked around and spotted a couch and a chair. It would do, but I'd rather find a bed. I looked to my right and saw some stairs. Duh.

I walked over toward them and walked up them quietly. Once I got upstairs, I noticed there were only 2 rooms up here. I looked around and saw a table to my left. There were objects on it, I just couldn't make them out…it was too bright…wait a second?! Too bright? I guess living in darkness for all this time took it's toll on me. I proceeded further toward the first door. I reached out towards the doorknob, nervous as to who or what was in the room. I slowly opened the door to a sight that brought me to tears.

There lay in the room a large bed. All around were pictures of two people, a young man with semi long silver hair, flowing to his shoulders, his bright blue eyes staring at me where I looked.

Next to him in each one was a young woman, her crimson hair flowing, but a slight bit longer than the man's. Her wonderful eyes seemed to dance in the darkness. But this was not what troubled me. It was what was on the bed that troubled me.

There in the middle of the bed lay the two lovers…the two friends…that I had remembered from so long ago. There lay Riku, and…Kairi…cuddled into each other's arms, like pieces of a puzzle. I

glanced up to the shelf behind the bed. There lay one last picture. In it were three people this time. Riku, Kairi, and an innocent boy, a boy long lost in the depths of darkness…a boy who fought and lost against what was to him eternal…it was me. I was younger, softer looking back then. Before I got any of the scars I had now. All before….the pain…all the loss…all before the key….all before Kingdom Hearts ever happened.

I turned away. I couldn't look at it anymore. It hurt so fucking much. I started to walk away but I snuck one last glance at my two friends. I couldn't just leave. I still loved her…and he was still my best friend… no matter what… I took off my chain and hung it on the doorknob as I left the room.

Right as I exited a felt a hand reach out and grab me by the neck and throw me down the stairs, I tumbled down and my head smashed through the hand rails. I leapt up to see a foot flying at my face, but I dodged at the last second and grabbed the leg and threw my attacker threw the wall and out into the rain. No one fucks with me. I rushed out the hole I made when I threw the attacker, to find a man in a dark black robe with a hood standing right in front of me.

"Leave them alone…" the figure hissed at me. Who the hell was this guy?

"Who the hell are you?!" I demanded. I took one step forward before I heard…

"What are you doing here…?" a male voice asked from behind me. I turned to see who was talking to me. I turned to see two bright blue eyes staring me down, threateningly. Riku. He held in one hand his old key blade. The key blade of darkness. Ironic, that I was now the dark one.

"Riku…." I whispered.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" he demanded.

"I…I….I don't know. I don't know." I answered. And it was the truth. I had no idea how I was here.

"Come inside." he sighed as he spoke. He turned and walked towards the house. I followed him towards the house and turned to look over my shoulder, but the man was gone. Weird. Riku went through the door and I followed.

"Sit," he commanded, pointing towards the couch. I obeyed. He went into the nearest door and pulled out a few boards, a hammer, and some nails. He went over to the hole in the wall I made, and began patching up. In no time at all he finished and came over to me, he sat down in the chair opposite from me.

He sighed. "Sora….Sora what happened to you?" he questioned me.

"Well….it all began back when…well…you remember the cathedral…after you two left, all I remember was darkness. Darkness forever, eternal darkness…"

"But…" he began but glanced over my shoulder.

"But you died…" a feminine voice whispered behind me. I turned and looked, it was Kairi.

"You….died…"

"So the fool thinks he's free?" a voice questioned.

"Yes I told you my plan would work…" another answered.

"You are quite right my friend, bravo."

"Thank you."

"But will he kill them?"

"He'll do anything I want him to…"

"Perfect….he's a puppet…."

"My puppet."
