Disclaimer; Go away! I don't own it so stop scaring me!

This chapter is totally for you guys, all my reviewers who took the time to scream at me, I love you all. And those of you offering your support on my horrid situation, thank you. I'm so sorry I took so long on this. I don't know what happened, I just haven't felt like writing anything in a long time. My boyfriend and I have been going through hell, I moved and now we live 45 minutes apart. And he has bad grades so my dad says I have to dump him even though he is the sweetest guy I have ever met and he drew me the most adorable little picture, he draws like a 5 year old though.

To make up for the fact that I suck, I'm going to make some art for this story and dedicate it to all you poor people that hate me now. On I'll post a link once I have something.

And if you hadn't caught on, this is where the 'R' rating comes in. Fun times. You don't have to read it, and if you can't tell when it's coming up, you deserve to accidentally read it. And if this story gets taken down for crappy yet still explicit content, I will be posting it on So no worries!


Deep laughter echoed around the room, "Enjoying yourself?"

Yuffie spun around, eyes darting around the pitch black darkness around her. The voice itself sent a shiver down her spine, but she wasn't about to let him know that.

"Very much, thanks! Though I can't say much for the generous view!" She shot back, pulling Squall's coat tighter around herself and flinging the hood over her hair. She nearly jumped as more laughter rose up around her in the dark.

"Do you know where you are yet, little ninja?" His blatant amusement was almost enough to make her sick.

"Better not be your nasty bondage basement! You fucking touch me and Squall's gonna kick your ass!" She called out to her captor.

Her own comment brought her thoughts back to Squall. She couldn't help but wonder if he was doing alright without her. She hoped he wasn't getting himself all worked up over her disappearance, though she definitely hoped it would motivate somebody to rescue her, she wasn't dumb enough to try fighting Sephiroth on her own. However, she was always up for a good taunt…

"He will? Well then, I suppose I'd better keep my distance. I was going to have a bit of a chat with you, but I suppose I can leave that up to a good friend of mine." This time the sound of his laughter fading away made Yuffie even more nervous.

Scuffling in the shadows behind her made her jump. She spun quickly and instinctively reached for the shuriken that she forgot had been taken away from her. Two glowing yellow eyes floated out of the darkness toward her, making her blood freeze as the rather large Heartless dragged itself toward her.

It looked like a regular shadow Heartless, but it was much larger, must have been eight feet tall at least, with long claws that scraped along the ground from its gangly body. It walked with a limp as it moved itself toward her, causing an even more terrifying noise as its clawed feet scuffed the floor.

Yuffie bit back a scream and spun around to run for it. She held onto the hood of Squall's coat with both hands as she dashed in the opposite direction the Heartless was in.

"Wait! Sephy! I was just kidding around! No need to get so hasty!" She forced her voice to at least sound like she wasn't absolutely terrified, but she was sure Sephiroth must have been laughing his ass of somewhere in those damned shadows.


As usual with his demeanor, Ansem remained silent as Kairi closed his door behind them. She walked over to join him at the window and gently hugged him, sighing rather heavily. She rested her head against his chest for a moment before leaning up to look into his eyes.

"He's got Yuffie.. What does he want with her?" She asked, not really expecting him to know the answer. To her surprise, Ansem actually leaned over to look out the window and thought about it.

"I don't think it was necessarily her he wanted, but the advantages that comes with her being at his mercy. If you look at it from Sephiroth's point of view, he has about seven enemies that really pose a threat to him. He knows that Yuffie is precious to everyone in your group, her high spirits and enthusiasm are a big advantage to you, really. He figures that by taking her and perhaps making her into a Heartless much like.. What I did to Riku.. That he might face better odds at defeating us." He gazed back down at her with a somewhat blissfully innocent look.

Kairi couldn't help but laugh at that. Before remembering their conversation. "So, why did he come talk to me tonight? If he had wanted to put his point across, shouldn't he have confronted Squall?"

Ansem smiled, "Actually, I think he was thinking of you as being kind of the leader of your group. You see, back at Hollow Bastion, Sephiroth was a General of our army. He was responsible for the well-being of many soldiers, perhaps he was comparing you to himself, making you responsible, as the leader, for Yuffie's safety."

Kairi stared at him in surprise. "What? I'm not the leader! Now that King Mickey is gone, Sora should be the leader!"

Ansem laughed. "Well considering his two greatest threats, myself and Sora, are both under your control, that technically puts you in charge." He smiled again as Kairi blushed.

Both were silent again for several minutes, watching the stars out the window. A shooting star darted across the sky, but the only thing it did was make Kairi a little sad.

"What are we supposed to do now..?" She asked quietly. "Is there anyway we could stop this war and restore some kind of balance between light and dark?" She watched anxiously as Ansem thought about it.

"Hmm, nothing that could be easily accomplished. It all depends on Sephiroth. If he chooses to call the Heartless off, the war will be stopped, however, that would never happen. The only way would be to kill Sephiroth, but then we would need to keep the Heartless under control, that would be rather difficult, however. There would be nothing to tell them what to do, they would hunt the keyblade wielders senselessly, killing anyone they came across. Perhaps if we could find a way to lock the doors to the Dark world, we could contain them. Ah, but there is no such keyblade that opens or closes the door to darkness, not that I know of at least."

"Well, what if you could take command of the Heartless again? Couldn't you control them?" Kairi asked hopefully.

"Not anymore, I don't think. They know who I am and they have refused me for Sephiroth. In my current state I am far too weak to force command over them again, and I highly doubt that they would willingly accept me as their King." Kairi sighed. This situation was getting too complex, she couldn't help but feel that she was missing some important facts. She looked up at Ansem again, watching him as he appeared to be deep in thought. She could tell by his expression that something was troubling him, most likely that last statement he had made. Though the Heartless had destroyed Ansem's life, she could tell that he still missed them. He had spend years researching them, dedicated his life to them, they became his life. And now they were gone. She couldn't imagine how empty it must feel.

Not able to stand the sad look on his face, she slowly reached up and gently kissed him. When he failed to respond to her, she bit him playfully. He simply laughed at her and hugged her tightly as he finally returned her kiss. She was rather alarmed when she tasted blood, but she decided it was probably better to stop fussing over his injuries for a few hours. But just for good measure, she ran a hand over the bandages on his more serious wounds to make sure nothing seemed out of place. He laughed quietly when he noticed what she was doing, swiftly picking her up. She yelped in surprise, pulling away from him to see what he was doing, before he gently set her back on the bed and curled up beside her. "You should get some sleep, I think you've had more stress today than me." He whispered. She gave him a playful glare, but took his advice and settled down to try to sleep.


It had to have been around three or four in the morning when Kairi's shivering awoke her. The night had started out surprisingly warm, but since she had fallen asleep beside Ansem, the temperature had dropped significantly. She lay still for a moment as she tried to determine whether or not he was awake. Unable to tell, Kairi shifted her head and gazed around the shadowed room. After several silent moments, she heard the quiet whisperings of fabric as Ansem moved his hand up from the bed and gently rested it on her hip. She looked down in amusement as he gently played with the material of her black skirt, causing her to roll over to look up into his eyes. He looked as though he was asking for permission to touch her, so she giggled and stuck out her tongue. He quickly leaned down and claimed her mouth, laughing silently as she protested in indignation.

Relaxing after a moment, she let herself sink into the kiss and braced a hand against his chest. He continued to play with the material of her skirt, hesitating for a moment before slipping his hand lower to brush against the soft skin of her thigh. When she made absolutely no indication that she was uncomfortable with his behavior, he moved his hand back up to trace along the waistband of the skirt. She knew exactly what he was getting at, and pressed herself a bit closer to him despite her shake of nervousness.

However, he felt her shiver and pulled away, the last thing he wanted to do was frighten her, and he knew why she was shivering. He removed his hand from her waistband and opened his mouth to apologize. "Please.. I'm fine, I just.. Have never even gotten this far before.." She blushed deeply but stared into his eyes. He made no move to continue, giving her a slight look of worry.

"Look, you really don't have to-" She moved forward and roughly kissed him, and to further her point, gripped his shoulders and pulled him over her. He was about to reprimand her for not taking him seriously when she giggled and reached down to tickled his side. Ansem stared at her in surprise and couldn't help but grin. Reaching down, he took her hand and held it firmly above her head.

"I'm sorry, I just.. You know, I don't want you to think that.." She kissed him again and ran her free hand through his hair. Instead of continuing where he had left off, he kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly, waiting for her to stop shivering.

She closed her eyes and tried to relax, slowly feeling her nerves calm. She continued to run her fingers through his hair, keeping her eyes closed while he slowly began to respond. She felt his arm slide out from under her back and slip quickly down to her hip, stroking the skin there before moving down to her thigh again. She sighed contentedly as his fingertips stroked against her skin. He quickly moved his hand back up to massage her chest. She let her head loll to the side, finding herself unable to believe that this was really happening. 'Finally happening,' she thought shyly to herself. 'And he's so gentle, so slow. He even smells good.' She giggled quietly again, peering at him slowly. 'Ah, but what would my mother say?' She smiled widely as she tried to imagine the look on her mother's face if she knew her little girl was sleeping next to this man. The very same man that had tried to destroy the universe less than a few years before. 'That's my little girl!' would be the most probable answer. Kairi couldn't help but think of her mother as being a little bit of a slut. Or maybe just daring, yes, daring sounded much less dirty. The thought made her frown in disgust, what was she doing thinking about her mother at a time like this?

She was jarred out of her thoughts when she felt him lean down and nuzzle his face into her neck. His hand shifted back down and began kneading the skin of her lower hip. His touch sent a rush of adrenaline through her veins, she could feel her senses becoming intoxicated by him.

Ansem nearly jumped when he felt her hand take his firmly, worried that perhaps he had gone too far for her. She simply laughed at his worried look and guided his hand in unclasping her skirt and shifting it down off her hips. Flashing him a small smile, she lifted her hips and kicked the skirt onto the floor, causing his eyes to widen. He didn't know she had so much, well.. 'spunk'. She had seemed so sweet and innocent at first, but then again, she wouldn't be the first girl he had been with that had seemed sweet or innocent.

A certain sense of sadness welled up inside him, memories he wished he could forget returning. In so many ways, she really did remind him of his lost Ame. He still remembered their first night together. She had said she was ready, she had asked him to, she had started everything. And she had cried. She had told him that it had been a sin. A term he wasn't familiar with, a belief of her family. He didn't want Kairi to blame him the same way if things got that far. But then again, Kairi was so much stronger than Ame ever was…

"Do you want this?" he asked quietly, not even meaning for the words to come out. His breath hitched as her eyes widened at his nearly blatant request. After a moment her gaze softened.

"Of course, but only if you're ready." She grinned at him teasingly. He almost laughed at her, he hadn't been aware that his emotions were so easy to read, but the whole time she had understood his uneasiness perfectly.

He was still unsure, but her determination was enough to assure him that it was safe to continue. As if to prove the point to himself, he leaned down and kissed her gently. After a moment of hesitation, he traced his tongue along her lip in a teasing gesture as her lips slowly parted. To his surprise, she quickly nipped his own bottom lip, nearly drawing blood, before meeting his own tongue in a loving embrace.

She broke the kiss only to assist him in removing her shirt, lifting the soft material above her head and tossing it to the floor with her skirt. Ansem took a moment to admire her fine curves, once again running his hand along her smooth skin. He leaned in and kissed her again, while simultaneously reaching behind her arched back to unclip her bra. She breathed a deep sigh, wrapping her arms around his shoulders as he moved his mouth down to the side of her neck. She let out a breathy moan as he worked his way along her soft neck, leaving tiny marks in a trail to her collarbone.

She felt his fingers trace along her stomach, slipping into the hem of her thin panties and gently easing them lower on her hips. She eagerly helped him remove the offending clothing by wiggling herself out of them, casting them aside and leaving her completely bare beneath him. With the absence of her underwear, he continued to rub her skin, taking his hand lower.

Now finding no obstruction, he slowly moved his hand between her legs, moving it gently as he watched her eyes slide closed. He kept his hand there for a moment, reveling in her beauty and warmth before moving a finger inside. Her eyes shot open and she looked up at him half in surprise and half in pleasure. She wasn't completely sure how she was supposed to act, so she limited herself with eliciting a low moan. He continued to move his hand now, enjoying the reactions he could get from her.

After several more moments of this, she had had enough and was ready to move on. She took his hand from her and took hold of the sweatpants he still wore, pulling them down as he reached to help her. The sweatpants were quickly on the floor with her clothing, and he was on her again.

"Are you sure? It will hurt. And I can't give it back once I've taken it." Ansem whispered, staring into her deep purple eyes. Kairi smiled gently at him,

"I know.." She whispered back, placing her hands on his hips and moving him closer to her.

Ansem pressed a hand gently against her leg, moving it further to the side as he positioned himself at her entrance. He gripped her hips tightly and stared into her rather nervous eyes. He hesitated only a moment before bringing his hips forward and thrusting into her, quickly breaking past her barrier.

Almost immediately her arms slid tightly around his back and her fingernails dug into his skin. A whimper escaped her lips and a pained grimace came over her face. He held still, trying to give her time to adjust to him. He knew it was going to take her weeks to fully adjust to their size differences, however.

Moving a bit slower, he pulled out and brought himself back in again. This time she couldn't hold back a yowl of pain, tears nearly stinging in her eyes. Guilt hit him then, and he leaned forward and nuzzled into her soft skin, kissing her neck gently.

"I'm sorry.." He whispered against her cheek. Kairi brought their lips together and kissed him lovingly.

"It's not your fault, I knew what I was getting into. Please.." She gave him a rather tremulous smile and urged him to continue.

He quickly obeyed, gently bringing their hips into a steady rhythm, trying to lull her pain into a dull ache. After a few minutes she felt the pain fade, replaced with an intense pleasure. Her pained growls quickly faded to moans of pleasure, encouraging him to move faster. He let out a low moan himself, leaving one hand to brace him against the pillows and bringing the other back down to her hip.

She gasped in surprise, feeling a deep warmth beginning just between her legs. It quickly grew, making her eyes slide closed as her voice rose with the pleasure. It spread out, wracking her whole body in the delicious sensation. Almost unable to bear it, she dug her fingernails deep into his back, drawing bloody trails as she raked her fingers down his back.

He was quickly brought to his own climax, leaving him to stare bewilderedly into her face as she allowed her body to relax.

"That was.. Amazing." She breathed, closing her eyes and sinking back into the blankets as their fevered movements slowed and stopped.

Ansem couldn't help but smile, those three words erased all his doubts. He rolled onto his side, hugging her tightly to his chest and kissing her forehead. She sighed happily, wrapping her own arms around him again and relaxing into his embrace. He reached to the side and grabbed a blanket, pulling it up over them as the night chill set in.

"I love you." She reminded him before drifting off to sleep.

Ansem smiled to himself, "I love you too, Kairi."


Sighing softly, Kairi inhaled the cold morning air and opened her eyes. The first thing she noticed was that she had about no clue where in the hell she was. The second thing she noticed was that there was a rather muscular male arm thrown gently over her chest. She was snapped out of her daze when she realized that Ansem was breathing lightly against her neck. After several minutes of contentedly listening to him breathe, Kairi decided that she wanted out of bed. She gently lifted his arm and moved out from under it, nearly crying out from the sharp pain that suddenly appeared between her legs.

Her memory of the previous night came flooding back as she noted that neither of them was clothed. She swiftly slid out from under the covers anyway and crept silently to the door. Once it clicked shut behind her, she made her way to the bathroom and locked herself inside. The sound of the bath running filled her senses and Kairi listened happily as the warm moisture drifted into the air around her body.

Once it was full, she simply slid into the water, considering she wasn't exactly sure where her clothes had gotten to anyway. The warm water felt good against her skin. She couldn't believe that what had taken place the night before had really happened.

The now Second most dangerous man in the universe had just taken her virginity. What the hell was wrong with the world! 'Ahh, but I think I'm really falling in love with him.' She sighed mentally to herself. He was the most perfect guy she had ever met. He was just as sweet as Sora, but was also smart and understanding like Riku. The best of both worlds, so to speak.

Up until that point she had forgotten what being with him could mean. She had been rather selfish, now that she really thought about it. She hadn't considered what this could mean to Sora, or Riku, or anyone. What would her parents think? Ansem must have been at least ten years older than her! Besides the fact that he was the infamous Heartless King.

Tears stung her eyes as she remembered their conversation the night before. He was right, she supposed, he was going to die if Sora defeated Sephiroth. But, if Sephiroth killed Sora and took the Keyblade, Kairi herself would die. The only way to save them both would be to call the forces of light and dark back into an equal balance, but that was absolutely impossible at this point. It seemed like their only option was to help save the universe from Sephiroth's evil and throw themselves into the World of Darkness. She wasn't going to leave him now, and Sora himself couldn't stop her.

After a few more minutes she realized she had been bathing for quite a while, so she finished washing her hair and climbed out. She still didn't have any clothes, so she wrapped a towel around herself instead. Opening the bathroom door slowly, she glanced down the hall to make sure Ansem's door was still shut. When she was sure she would be undisturbed, she darted across the hall and ran into Yuffie's old bedroom.

She knew she hadn't left any useful clothing in her room, but Yuffie was well known for leaving behind spare clothing wherever she went. After much digging she managed to find an old pair of Yuffie's shorts. They looked just like her favorite yellow ones, but these were black. More digging revealed a small light blue tank top in the back of a drawer. It looked like something Yuffie would never wear, way too preppy. Aerith must have bought it for her, it still had a price tag. She quickly dressed herself and threw her shoes back on.

She crossed the hallway into Leon's old bedroom, throwing open his dusty closet. Sure enough, he had left behind quite a bit of clothing in the bottom of the closet. He was a picky dresser, so he wouldn't wear most of what the king had provided for him, even according to his own tastes. She pulled out a plain black t-shirt and a pair of boxer shorts for Ansem and closed the door. He was still asleep when she crept back into his room with the clothes. She set them next to him on the bed and decided to head for the kitchen. She was absolutely starving and she knew when he woke up he would want some food, too.


"We're here. Hey! Wake up, kid, we're fuckin' here!" Cid bellowed in Sora's ear as he roused the young Keyblade master from his sleep. Sora had fallen asleep next to Cid in the cockpit of the gummi ship on their way to Disney Castle, but now that they had arrived his fatigue quickly disappeared and he bounded out of the ship and onto the gravel outside.

"King Mickey! Donald! Goofy!" He shouted desperately. Upon receiving no reply from the vacant castle, Sora dashed inside, followed closely by Riku and Cloud. The castle was absolutely ripped apart inside. It was obvious to them that there had been a fight, anything that could have been thrown around appeared to have been.

"Oh god, Sephiroth really did get to him.." Sora breathed, gazing around at the ruined castle in anger.

"Sora, did you hear that?" Riku asked quietly, staring straight ahead.

Listening intently, the boys could hear something moving up ahead. A shadow darted quickly across their path and instantly all three had produced their weapons and were ready to fight. A soldier Heartless rose silently from the floor behind them and leaped viciously at Cloud. With a swing of his buster sword, the Heartless dissipated in a poof of purple smoke, leaving the hallway seemingly deserted once again. Another shadow darted along to their left, vanishing before any of them could really catch a glance. A loud thump from up ahead caught their attention, and Sora motioned for them to advance on their enemy.

A moving shadow danced across the floor just before them, and Sora readied his Keyblade as he prepared an attack. Just as he was nearing it, however, several more soldier Heartless chose that time for a small ambush, rising quickly just beneath them and catching the trio off guard.

With a shout or anger and surprise, Sora leapt forward and swung his Keyblade overhead, bringing it down on what he had thought was a Heartless. He heard a loud shriek as his eyes focused on the girl he was swinging his weapon at, stumbling back in panic a she tried to defend herself.

"Kairi!" He yelled, unable to stop his heavy Keyblade from falling.

He didn't have time to react, however, as a yellow flash of light enveloped him and he felt the wind get knocked out of his lungs. There was a sharp pain against the back of his head and his arm, and he noticed somehow that his keyblade had slipped out of his hand, but everything seemed to blur together for a few gut-wrenching moments.

When he had finally sorted out his thoughts, he realized that he was leaning all the way across the hall on the floor. His eyes refocused and he caught sight of Kairi, leaning shakily on a very tall, well-built man that seemed vaguely familiar.

"Sephiroth!" Sora blurted out, noticing that the man had long white hair and flashing green eyes.

"Calm down, Sora, it's just Ansem." Riku growled, smacking his friend upside the head before helping him stand up.


A/N: I hope it wasn't too bad. Sorry it was short, if I had kept writing this would turn into one annoyingly long chapter. I hope you enjoyed it anyway. Please let me know what you thought. About the story, not about how long it took me to update, I'm quite aware that I took forever. I'm not going to re-read it right now, I'm assuming it's good enough. It's three in the morning, I'm tired, goodnight.
