Author: nothing new, this is just a fill in chapter, to set up the next chapter, which will actuallt turely begin the story. That's why it's so short.

another thing: Sora is going to get attacked by heartless in this chapter, It may seem strange so let me explain. When Sora killed Ansem by stabbing his hand in ansem and pumping the guy full of light, for a split second, he seemed to be whole to the other heartless. Thus they are confused at the moment and will attack Sora for a while.

Disclaimer: I do not own kingdom

Enjoy the fic.

Light in the Darkness.

" Kingdom... hearts..." Sora thought, as he ran toward the door, while it began to slowly open...

Sora ran as fast as he could towards the door, as it slowly opened, releasing even MORE darkness at a incredible rate. Sora didn't know what was wrong, he had always believed that kingdom hearts was light. What could have happened?

When he finally reached the door, he slammed his hands onto each side of the door ( his body was now right in the middle of the opening in the door) and focused all his strength into closing it. He knew it was n't going to be easy, but it had to be done. The doors began to move slowly, as Sora continued to push the doors closed.

...That was...until he dropped from exhaustion...

Sora sat there on the ground, trying to regain the strength he once had, until he heard something from inside the doors. Sora looked upward tiredly towards the sound of the noise to see that a large group of heartless were heading towards him. If Sora had a mouth, you could probably see him grinning right about now.

" I finally meet my end...as a heartless, how ironic? " Sora thought, before snapping out of them when he heard the screams of dyeing heartless. He once again turned his attention in the direction of the heartless, only to see a lone figure standing were they used to be.

"So...you really are still alive..." Sora said, as the figure turned to face him.

" In a sense..." replied the figure, as he walked towards the door.

" I thought you would have given up by now." Sora stated, as he slowly got up.

" You know I would never give up that easily, right? " The figure said, as he stopped right at the doors ( he's still inside) and stared at Sora.

" It was just a thought." Sora replied, as he stood their and stared at the figure. They did this for a few seconds before they could hear a third voice.

" Sora..." The third voice said, as another figure could be seen stating up. Sora's eyes widened at the sight.

" Your... majesty...?" Sora said, as the figure nodded.

" Yes Sora, but this isn't a place for talk, close the door's now." the king replied, as he looked over at the other figure. " Help him..." The figure nodded, as he began to pull on one of the doors, While Sora looked at him with a shocked expression

" But, what about you and...".

" Don't worry about us, now close the door, the heartless are coming!" Stated the king, as he slowly turned his back to Sora and summoned a keyblade. Sora stared at him for a moment before turning towards the other figure, who only nodded. Sora then began to close the doors as well, while his majesty killed heartless at a fast rate. As the doors were about to close, the figure looked up at Sora.

" Sora..." He said, as Sora turned his attention towards the figure.

" Yes, Riku." Sora replied, as he continued to push the doors in.

" Take care of her..." the door's closed, as Sora stood their for a few moments before walking down the road that had appeared. He felt something strange, as he looked back towards the door.

"It has to be done, but is it possible?" Sora thought, as he started to focus all his energy into his right hand, keeping his mind on summoning one thing. His hands started to glow a bit, as he continued to put everything he had into summoning it. His entire body started to glow a strange white, as the oathkeeper shined brightly. Something once again ran through his head.

" Call the light from inside you...and it will come."

The Oathkeeper glowed an enormous amount of light before disappearing from its place on Ssora's neck and reappearing in Sora's right hand as a...keyblade. Sora let out a ear shattering scream, as the keyblades power burned through his hand, he quickly lifted it up. A light shot out of the keyblade, while a locking noise could be heard. Kingdom hearts vanished a second later, as the Oathkeeper hit the ground, having burned off Soras entire right limb and half way through his upper body.

Sora closed his eye's, as he slowly fell asleep in the darkness. Resting for whatever may ly ahead...

Kairi continued to think about what had happened. It had been three days since the incident, three day since she was brought back, and three days since he was taken from her. Of course she thought about him the most. She had looked over all the memories she had received from him, since her heart was inside of him. Kairi had seen everything that he had done for her and this...is what caused her to break down so much.

Kairi also remembered that there were also some things left to do. Riku's body had been possessed and from what she remembered, he was also searching for the king and although she would probably never know what happened to him, she could still find out some answers...about everything.

" He probably would have wanted me to go..." Thought Kairi, as she slowly got off of the bed she was sitting on. It was a small apartment, having only a bed, table, a dresser or two, and some other needed things. The walls were painted a dark green, as the curtains on the two windows were also green. Kairi slowly walked towards the door and opened it. She took a step outside for once in three days and looked around. She was in the third district or at least...that's what she thought it was called. Kairi then headed towards the stairs and walked down them. She immediately spotted Leon

and Areith talking in the center of the area, and began to walk towards them.

When Leon and Areith finally noticed, they turned to face her. Kairi looked up at Leon and stared at him, as if waiting for something.

" You done crying?" Leon asked, as Kairi just continued to stare.

" I...want to be stronger, for him..." Kairi stated, as Leon showed a shocked expression, not expecting that kind of answer.

" Well then..." Leon said, as he looked over at Areith, who just nodded. " Show me!" Leon jumped backwards, as he quickly pulled out his gunblade and prepared for a fight. Kairi summoned the Keyblade and also prepared.

A Second later, they charged towards one another...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The door closed shut, as Mickey pointed his keyblade upwards, while a clicking noise was heard. A second later the massive door vanished from Riku's eyes, as he stared at where the door used to be with a shocked expression. Riku turned towards the king, who was walking towards him. " How was that possible, don't you need both keyblades." Riku asked.

" I don't know how or why, but Sora was able to summon his keyblade, even in his...current form." replied the king, as he had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"But how was that possible!" Riku asked, as his eye's focused on the ground, while his thoughts wonder. " Dose that mean that even after becoming a heartless... that his heart is still stronger than mine." Riku thought, as he looked over at Mickey, who was busy thinking of all the possibilities. " So...how DO you think he got it?"

Mickey thought about it, before speaking his thoughts. " Maybe it's... his connection..."

" Connection?"

" Nothing, just wondering something, but what we really need to worry about is what's happened to Sora now." Riku looked confusedly at Mickey, as he sighed. " Even if he used to be it's wielder, in his current state, the keyblade will hurt him."

" So your saying that he could kill himself just by using it?"

" To put it simply, yes..." Riku's face turned grim, as Mickey walked further into kingdom hearts.

" Where are you going! We still have to find are way out!" Riku called out, as Mickey turned towards him, a smirk on his face.

" Now that one, we don't need to worry about." A huge light appeared behind Mickey, as it took the shape of a door. It shined brightly in the darkness, destroying any heartless that were foolish enough to even take a step towards it. Riku shielded his eye's, as Mickey kept his attention on Riku. " After all, it's like the saying,there will always be a door to the light." And with that, Mickey stepped through the door of light, as his body faded.

" Coming Riku?" Mickey's voice could be heard, as Riku hesitated for a moment, before running into the door after Mickey. While the door itself disappeared right behind him...
