okay! Almost to the end of the story! (gasps) could that be true? Indeed it is kind readers! Thanks again for reading and reviewing, it means that people really do care for this writing. (smiles) her is chapter 8 of "Do You Make Me Exist?"!

"...ra." I heard, it was off in the distance. There was nothing but darkness, I felt so cold. "So..." I heard it again, I wanted to open my eyes but I was afraid to. What if this was just a voice in my head? What if I was still stuck in darkness? Maybe not... I felt like I was on something soft, like a bed. I also felt a blanket over me, someone had taken care of me I guess. I wasn't as cold anymore, I started to feel a warmth fill within my body. Feeling came back to my fingertips and my toes. I know that my shoes were off, the blanket was right on my feet and my arms, my jacket was off as well. I moaned a bit, I felt sore all over. I slowly opened my eyes, everything was foggy at first. "Sora!" Someone yelled, I knew who it was. The voice was squawky, it was Donald. I saw a blur of white and blue looking over me, then behind him came a blur of green, brown and black. That must have been Goofy. I blinked and tried to focus in, I was starting to form shapes now. "Sora, you're finally awake!" Donald yelled out, it sounded like he was crying. I blinked again and things came to, Donald was crying as he hovered over me. Goofy had to pick him off of the bed, he was tearing up too.

I tried to sit up, but it hurt. It took me a couple of seconds but I sat up and looked around. I was inside Merlin's house again, on the bed that I always used. Everyone was there, Leon and Aeirth. Yuffie, Merlin, Cid, the three pixies who were obsessed with treasure, the three fairies that changed my clothing, even Yensid was inside the room. So was a familiar face, King Mickey was here as well, in a black robed outfit like Axel's. Axel! Axel and Roxas! "Wha-"

"You've been out of it for three days." Goofy summed up. I looked at him, it's been three days sense the destruction of that world! "Hayner and the gang found you in an alley in Twilight Town. They thought you were dead..."

Leon nodded, crossing his arms as he talked to me. I still didn't want to hear any of this, what about the other two? "They got in contact with us and I went to pick you up. You're body was as cold as ice. As soon as we got back here we put you to bed and Merlin has been working his magic to try and get you better."

Donald finally got out of Goofy's hands, falling onto the bed and onto me. It was okay though, I didn't really care. I still wasn't getting all of the answers that I wanted. Roxas and Axel were finally people, I didn't want to hear that they died and they weren't even real people for a whole day. Donald got off of my and sat on the side of the bed, looking at me again as I turned to him. "We eventually had to call Master Yensid last night. He came by train to Twilight Town and we picked him up from there. He's been curing you for the past day now."

"I don't care." I said. Everyone was taken back but what I said. I really didn't care about me at the moment, I wanted to find out something else. I NEEDED to find out something else. I looked over at Leon first. "Was there anyone with me?" He shook his head, I was apparently the only one in the alley. I didn't like how this was turning out. I took the blanket off and tried to get out of the bed. Donald hopped off when I took off the blanket and tried to stand. I was out of it, my legs felt like jelly and like I had no bone in them at all. Goofy made me sit back down on the bed, then sat down next to me. "Are you sure there was no one else?"

Yensid understood what I was trying to say, he always did. He took a step to me and everyone went silent as the master of magic spoke. "You were able to give those two Nobodies hearts, were you not?"

I nodded, those were the two I wanted to know about. King Mickey waltzed right up to me and shook his head, then sat down on the opposite side of Goofy and put his hand on mine. I looked down to the little king. "Because of what happened a new entrance to Kingdom Hearts is being created from the new heart that world created when you created those hearts." I nodded, I knew that. Xemnas told me all about it. "It's almost complete, they got it finished a lot quicker then anyone thought. We need you to get better so we can lock it up and stop the one in charge."

"I need to find them." I said, I didn't have to say a name because everyone knew who I was talking about. I looked at all of them one by one, then tried to stand again. King Mickey pulled on my hand to make me sit back down again. "I need a Gummi Ship to go back to that city, I need to see if they made it!"

King Mickey pouted while keeping his hand on mine, everyone else had a type of reaction that was the same. I was the only one that apparently didn't know, I needed to know! I needed to know of they made it out alright, if they were together again and were out of danger! Cid put his hands on his waste and started up with the conversation. "You were mumblin' in yer sleep. Said somethin' about that city and all. I went with Leon and there ain't nothing there." I looked up at him, that couldn't be true at all. There should be a scrap of something, even a tiny shard of that world left floating there. "All that's there now is a new door or Kingdom Hearts, sorry kid."

"No, check again." I ordered. Goofy kept pouting while I kept ordering, I didn't want to accept this at all. "Check again! I'll go with you, I was there when the orb came to take that world! I know! Please, let's go check again! If not there then other worlds, they might have landed somewhere else that-"

"There's no one left Sora." The King assured me. I looked down to the mouse king, he just repeated himself. "There is no shard of that world, no one even knows where the darkness of that world went. The reason why you're okay is because of the Keyblade, it protected you." I shook my head no, that couldn't be possible. They couldn't have gotten lost in the darkness, I refused it. I felt my eyes starting to tear up, if they were lost in the darkness I would find them before their hearts were taken by it. "You were the only one, Roxas and Axel are gone."

I shook my head again, I could feel the tears starting to run down my face. Donald calmly said my name while I tried to wipe my tears, to hide it, but they kept coming. I sat on the bed looking down with my eyes closed, I couldn't stop these tears now. "It's not fair..." I started. Goofy leaned forward a bit to try and look into my eyes, I just looked up to everyone as if they were all to blame. "It's not fair! Roxas and Axel deserved to live! They deserved those hearts they got!" I yelled out. I couldn't stop crying. It really wasn't fair, those two deserved their hearts. All they wanted was to be together, all they wanted was to be. "They fell in love, they had hearts! Why didn't they leave!" I realized, I wasn't yelling at them. I was yelling at myself. I said I was going to stay behind, that I was going to make sure that everything was okay. I should have just let Xemnas keep that world, I would have gotten out with Roxas and Axel. I would have dropped them off to start a new life in Twilight Town, they would have been together without any problems at last. "Why didn't they leave! Why didn't they-" I was shaking with sorrow, Goofy put his arm over my shoulders again while King Mickey kept hold of my shaking hand. I turned to Goofy and cried onto his shoulder, it was like loosing a brother that I was very close to. "They didn't leave when I said... I wanted to stay and they stayed with me... it's all my fault!" I kept crying. No one in that room had seen me like this, I was probably looking like a weak baboon that cried over lost candy. I really didn't care, this really wasn't fair. I put my hand on Goofy and kept crying, I really needed a big brother at the moment. Donald looked at King Mickey as he got up and kept looking at me. No one said anything, who knows if I would have gotten over their death.

(cries) nooo! I did that again... I made my Sora cry again. T.T okay, just one more chapter to go! Please stay tuned for the grand finale of the story!
