I just got to see the secret ending, "Another side, another story" I think I'm going to write a story about that. yeah. 3 KH stories going at once. won't that be a nice thing to try and not confused writing.

Warning this does get a little . descriptive. a little violent...

Disclaimer: KH belongs to the people who spent all of their time making it. and of course Square soft and Disney.

Trysten: Hehe, I really happy that you're going to think about it all night. after I got three revies I sat down and said, oh shit I better start thinking of where I;m going to take it =-) I think I got the next few chapters down though =-)

Never Again
By: Life's Scar
Chapter 2

Kairi's hand accidentally touched on oh Riku's wounds on his back causing him to hiss in pain, "I'm sorry," she said as she pulled her hand back, shocked to see blood.

She was scarred, she had just hurt her friend who had been hurt for a year and he had gotten a weird look on his face when she had touched him.

Riku looked down at his bare chest and his face instantly turned red, "It's okay, Kairi," he said as he jumped up and looked for his clothes.

He found them hanging up drying. He snatched them quickly and ran into another room. Which, thankfully, had a mirror in it.

He turned around to try and see his wounds and saw the bandages that covered them were tinted red from his own blood, "shit." he mumbled as he tried to pull the bandages down a little bit, to see the state of the cuts.

When he did he saw bright pink skin around the disgusting looking cuts.

He hoped the infrction would kill him, he deserved it. He slipped the shirt on and looked at himself in the mirror, he'd need a new pair of clothing and a few days out in the sun and he'd almost resemble his oldself. He ran a hand through his now longer silver hair and tried to smooth it out. He'd need a hair cut as well..

He closed his eyes and put his hands on the mirror to stable himself form the attack of memories. Ansem was behind him, his hair held tightly in Ansem's hand, "It needs to be much longer, dog, I love long haired things."

"I don't want long hair, I like it just the way it is," Riku said defiantly no yet having realized it was a useless fight.

"I don't care what you want!" Ansem bellowed before tighly pulling his hair, "You are mine. every little part of you belongs to me. even this hair!"

"Let go of me!" Riku yelled as he grabbed at Ansem's wrist, "I don't belong to anyone!"

"Oh but you do, little boy, have you not realized that you do belong to me? My heart is in you, you have no heart anymore!" Ansem yelled spinning Riku around violently so he could look at him straight on instead of through the mirror.

"I have a heart!" trying to convince Ansem just as much as himself.

"Oh, you have a heart do you? For your own need fro adventure you destroyed your own world. killed everyone you ever knew, destroyed you're friends hearts and you have one? You amuse me boy." ANsem said laughing at the look that crossed Riku's face.

Riku opened his eyes to the sound of someone knocking on the door. He pushed himself away from the mirror and the memories that it bought to the surface. He turned the knob and let the door slowly slide open, "I brought you something to eat," Sora said pushing the door completely open, smiling he tossed the apple to Riku.

Riku caught the apple and looked at it strangely, "I'm not hungry." He mumbled sitting it down.

You haven't eaten since you got here!" Sora said worried at the bones he could see on riku's body.

"I'm not hungy, Sora, I'm fine."

"When will you eat?"

"Later." Riku said turning away form his friends careing eyes, having no intension of eating until he was just to weak not to. He deserved to suffer.

"I'm sorry Riku." Sora said putting a hand on Riku's shoulders.

"What for?" Riku asked, "I'm the one who should be apologizing."

Riku shrugged off the hand and turned around to Sora but looked at the ground, ashamed at what he had done. He didn't deserve a friend like Sora. He didn't deserve to have any friends, one who did what he had done should burn in Hell.

"For leaving you there. if I hadn't." Sora said, sadness radiating through his voice.

Riku looked up at his friend shocked at the words, "It was my choice. and if you hadn't all the worlds would be destroyed and Ansem would rule . and . what do you think would have happened to you and Kairi?"

"but what you went through!"

"Was the consequences of my actions. I deserved it."

"No you didn't!" Sora said, surprised at what his friend was feeling. How could anybody think they deserved all the torture that Riku had deserved. Beaten for a whole year, no human deserved that. nothing did, "No one deserves anything close to that! I don't care what you think you've done wrong! Nothing could equal up to all the scars your body now holds!"

"I destroyed our world Sora! I killed our friends! I killed Tidus, Wakka and Selphi! I killed my parents! I killed yours and Kairi's Parents! I killed everyone on Destiny Islands and you and Kairi have no home to go to! I should be punished for eternity for all the pain I've caused!"

"But Destiny Islands Is back! It came back after we shut Kingdom hearts!"

"Wh. what?" Riku asked shocked at what Sora had said. "What about the boundaries?"

Sora wrapped an arm around Riku's shoulders and said, "The keyblade can be used for a few other things then locking doors and fighting!" Sora said a giant smile on his face.

"How did it come back?"

Sora's smile changed a little and his face took on that look he had when he started thinking, "I haven't figured that one out. but hey it did it so we gotta be happy for that one!"

"Yeah!" Riku said, happy that at least now he knew he wasn't a murderer.

He was so stupid for taking what Ansem said as the truth. so maybe Riku still had a pure heart. may be.

"Eat!" Kairi said walking in with her hands on her hips.

Riku took in new look and smiled, she had changed even though she had wanted everyone to stay the same for ever, "you look like a walking skeleton and you won't eat an apple! Eat it Riku!"

Riku glanced over at the red apple and grabbed it, "I guess I can eat it. he took a bite out of the apple then was slapped in the face by a memory, "Sora will get what he deserves soon enough!" Ansem said bitterly pacing in front of a chained up Riku.

"Leave him out of it!" Riku yelled struggling against the black chains.

"Shut up Mutt!" Ansem yelled his wrist barely moving but the whip struck

Riku's bare chest with a vicious power, "I can't touch him because he hold that damn blade! He will beat me with it every time."

"There is no way you can beat him!"

"Oh yes there is! I just have to take control of you once again. an easy enough thing to do once I get enough power to do it again. I can rest in your heart and mind!

"I will not allow you to harm him with my body any more!"

"Oh but it is not your choice my little dog," Ansem said running the hilt of the wipe across his bleeding chest, "It is easy to take over a broken heart and soul. especially when one lacks them."

"I WILL not let you control me!" Riku yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Oh but you won't last forever!" With that said Ansem struck him again with the whip, delighted with the blood that fell form the boy's chest.

"You are an evil man with out a heart! How can you say I lack one when you haven't ever had one!"

Ansem laughed at that and grabbed Riku by the throat cutting off his air supply, "I lost mine trying to save my world form the destruction of the heartless. my heartless the ones that I made! My people did not like the fact that I was trying to control them! I created the ones you see here! They are mine and you will soon join their ranks!"

"Never." Riku struggled to say.

"Scream!" Ansem yelled as he pulled out a knife and deeply cut Riku's chest.

Riku held back a scream the first time and the second time but when the third slice came he gasped in pain unable to keep his mouth shut then the fourth cut his chest and he screamed in pain.

"Riku!" Kairi cried out shaking Riku back into reality, "Please what's the matter?"

Riku looked at her, raising a hand to wipe the tears off of her face, "I'm fine." He said, though he still felt a burning pain in his chest.
