Chapter 2: Destruction of Destiny Islands

A few hours have passed since the four teenagers have reached the main island. Aurora is over at Sora's, spending the night there since she doesn't have any other place to stay at the moment. The twins have gone to their home and Riku is watching Kinno as she stands on the balcony, looking out over the ocean.

"You alright?" He asks gently and Kinno shakes her head a little.

"I've seen…bad things happen in my dreams…Destruction…Chaos…" Kinno answers quietly.

"What gets destroyed?"

Kinno shakes her head lightly, looking down to her hands not wanting to scare him. Riku frowns lightly before just watching Kinno as she looks out over the shore. About another hour passes before Kinno moves from her place. Her gaze moves out over the water, as if sensing something. Riku follows her gaze, his emerald eyes narrowed before he looks at her.

"Is this what you were speaking of?" He asks.

"Yes…the destruction of the islands…"

That's all the prompting he needs as he turns and runs off of the balcony. Kinno follows and both run out of the house and down the walkway. On the main road they meet up with Sora who looks worried.

"Aurora's gone!" He says and both twins look at one another.

What could this mean? A feeling of emptiness, than Aurora's disappearance?

"Come on!" Riku tells them, taking charge.

He runs down the road, heading to the docks with Kinno and Sora in pursuit. He unties a boat and pushes it away from the dock a little bit, not a great distant. Kinno runs up and jumps into the boat, making it rock just slightly before getting settled in. Sora is the next to follow, jumping in as well while Riku jumps into the water, pushing the boat out more before climbing in himself. It takes only minutes for the two boys to row them to the smaller island, where they had been only earlier that day. They reach the docks and all three climb out, looking around. Aurora runs up to them, looking frightened as she gasps for air.

"What are you doing here?" She asks.

"Came to find you." Sora answers.

The twins aren't paying much attention. There looking over to "Riku's Island" seeing a void of darkness over it. As Sora and Aurora talk, they make their way over there, going through the shack to get onto the bridge. They cross the bridge and step foot on the island, looking around. Kinno moves to where she's closer to Riku and he gently wraps his arm around her waist as a void of darkness appears under them.

"Are you ready, Kinno?" He asks of her and she nods.

She hugs Riku tightly before feeling herself descending into the darkness. Her emerald eyes widen in panic but Riku's grip on her hand calms her.

"Don't fight it. Just let yourself go Kinno."

"But what about you?"

"I'll follow shortly. I have to get Sora since you say the islands will be destroyed."

"But what if you can't find me?" Kinno asks in a sudden panic.

"Than I will look until I find you. I swear it."

Riku tightens his hold on Kinno's hand before gently letting her go as she disappears into the darkness.

Chapter 3: Kinno's Failure and Sacrifice

Kinno's POV

Where am I…? What happened…? All's I remember is descending into darkness and asking Riku…wait…Riku!

That's the thought that spurs me awake. Riku had left me to descend into the darkness to make sure Sora got off the islands before they were destroyed. Now my only thought was if he was alright. As I move to sit up, a hand gently pushes me back down and I look up to look into the familiar piercing eyes of my twin who's smiling gently at me. I smile back and let myself fall back onto the pillow.

"I was beginning to wonder if you were going to wake up. It normally doesn't take that long."

"Sorry."

I sit up and rub the back of my head a little bit in embarrassment before looking up at him.

"So where are we?" I ask, curiosity gripping me hard as I look around the room.

"In a place called Hollow Bastion. It's a big castle. Unfortantly, you have to meet someone before you can go exploring."

"Aww damn."

I watch Riku get up from the bed, than follow his lead and get up myself. I follow him out of the large room, looking around at everything, and out in the hallway. Many corridors later, I find myself standing with my twin in a stone room torches with purple flames along the walls, giving the room an eerie feeling since the fire didn't illumante the room like normal fire. I shiver, moving a little closer to Riku as a portal opens in front of us. A woman walks through and my first impression, rather kill us than look at us. The woman has green screen and is wearing a black dress with a hood with dragon horns on it. She holds a staff in her hand that for some reason I can tell holds magic, though I didn't know how I knew. (A/N: Yea…I can't really describe Malificent any better than that…so yea…)

"Is this her?" The woman asks.

I look at Riku confused as he nods.

"This is Malificent. She's letting us stay here, provided we can do one thing, which I've already done." Riku answers to my confused look.

"What is this one thing?" I ask nervously.

"Prove you have the capability to control the heartless." Malificent hisses and again I shiver.

I hesitate only a minute before I agree to do it, not wanting to be separated from Riku. Both of us follow Malificent as she leads up through the castle and into a labortary like room. We stand in the middle of the room, in between six crystal like cases and look up at Malificent as she looks down at us.

"Now, what I want you to do is control Darkside into attacking the keyblade wielder."

I don't notice the flinch that Riku does right after I say I'll do it. I had NO idea what I was getting myself into or even who the keyblade wielder was before than. Malificent casts her spell over me and I vanish. I appear in a viel of darkness and slowly open my eyes.

/Who are you/ A gruff voice demands.

"Kinno. I'm the one Malicifent sent here."

/I don't need your help attacking the keyblade wielder./ The voice growls.

I put my power into stopping him, to make him obey my commands and though it works, it doesn't work completely. His attacks slow, being pulled down on by me but they don't stop.

/What are you doing/ The voice demands.

"Making you obey me."

After making his attacks more sluggish, I finally turn my attention to the battlefield. What I see freezes my heart. The keyblade wielder was Sora, the boy I had had a crush on for quite a few years now. And standing a few paces behind him was the frightened Aurora. I mentally scream and force the heartless to stop his attack all together. I hear Sora scream my name and I slowly open my eyes from when I had closed them and look down at him. In his hands, he carries his keyblade as well as the necklace him and Riku had given me when I was younger, for personal reasons. The inner light is shining brightly and I smile faintly. The heartless mentally blasts me and my control is viciously ripped from me.

"I'm sorry Sora…" I apologize quietly before getting thrown out of the heartless.

I appear at Hollow Bastion, my body aching and my heart racing. I see Riku standing at the edge of the ledge, just a foot from me, his fear hitting me hard. I turn a little to see Malificent sneering viciously at me, and her anger hits me, even harder than Riku's fear did.

"You fool! Why didn't you try harder!" Malificent screams at me and I growl quietly in response.

"Because I didn't know the keyblade wielder was my friend! I will not attack my friends!" I shout back, not yet knowing at the time how much that statement will haunt me later.

"Than die." Malificent hisses.

"No! Malificent! Steal my heart!" Riku suddenly cries and I jump in shock.

I watch helplessly as Malificent smirks and moves her staff in Riku's direction. A black lightning bolt comes from the crystal at the top, heading for Riku. At the last moment, I move my arm in front of Riku's shoulders, pulling him away and taking the hit myself. A deep gash, running from the back of my right hand to my elbow opens, deep enough to where glints of bone can be seen and pouring blood as I collapse to my knees. The blood rapidly forms a puddle under me, flowing to the edge of the platform and dripping into the water below.

"Take mine…" I gasp out around my pain.

"No! Let her live and take mine!" Riku says in desperation.

I watch through blurred vision as Malificent moves her staff in my direction, obviously having a better idea. The dark lightning that I had gotten hit with now hits my chest and I fall back as a pink heart hovers above me. The pain associated with my heart being taken wasn't as bad as what was to come.

"How about this instead Riku? You work for me and I don't kill your sister right away."

Riku looks at me and I weakly shake my head, not wanting him to throw his life away just to keep me alive.

Riku…Please don't…Not for me…Don't make another sacrifice for my sake…Not like when we were kids…

I plead mentally for him not to but he doesn't answer my pleads. I watch as he nods in a solemn way and she grins evilly in response. She moves her hand in a "come here" gesture and my heart slowly goes over and hovers in her hand. An instant before she does it, I know what she's going to do and both me and Riku watch, horrified, as Malificent wraps her hand around my heart and tightens her hold. The sound of cracking glass is heard and I suddenly jerk in pain as pinpoints of pain suddenly appear throughout my body. The sound of glass breaking suddenly comes and I cry loudly in pain as my body throbs, feeling like every bone in my body is broken as my heart shatters. My memory fades as my vision darkens until I pass out from the pain.

Riku's POV

I watch, my heart breaking as I hear Kinno's cries of pain before she passes out. I look to Malificent as the fragments of Kinno's heart vanishes. Malificent moves her staff in Kinno's direction and her body glows black. When the glowing is gone, I can't help but shudder at the look of diguist she places on my younger twin.

"Know this Riku. I put a spell over her to keep her human though she no longer has a heart. If she survives with that arm wound of hers, she'll only have a certain amount of time before it wears off. To make sure it doesn't wear off, she needs to find her heart pieces that are scattered throughout the worlds. If she doesn't, she'll turn into a heartless."

No…Kinno would die if that happened to her…The heartless instincts…

I stop my train of thought, my eyes filled with terror at the thought of what would happen to Kinno should she turn into a heartless. Malificent looks at me, her eyes filled with malice.

"Half of her heart remains here. Either stay and work with me or I kill her now.." She says with venom.

I look over to where Kinno lays, her blood still slowly dripping from the deep wound on her arm..

"I'll stay." I finally say quietly after a few minutes pause.

"Good…now get her out of here."

I watch Malifcent leave than walk over to Kinno and gently pick her up in my arms. Her body is so frail and fragile looking, despite all the sparring she's done with me and Sora, that her body feels very light in my arms. I look saddened as I too vanish. I appear in a hotel in Traverse Town, a town that's a meeting place of sorts for those who have lost their homes to the heartless. I gently lay Kinno down on a bed and tend to her arm, using a spray version of a healing potion on her arm since I didn't have any bandages or magic at my disposal. I watch over her for a few minutes as she lays there before looking down.

I'm so sorry Kinno. I never meant to hurt you…

Rapid thoughts go through my heard, most of them centered on the pain Kinno would endure should she ever transform into a heartless. I gently kiss her forehead, moving some hair away from her eyes before vanishing, go back to Hollow Bastion. At the time, none of us had any idea of the torment we, as well as Sora and Aurora, would go through now that I served Malificent. I just knew at that moment, I had sold my soul to the Devil to keep my twin alive.
