Chapter Six.

Snow Falls in Tears.

A/n: Hello my dear readers. I must tell you now that this might be the last chapter I write for a little while. I am in the process of writing a new story to go on here, an actual story which has nothing to do with Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Star Ocean, D.N.Angel, or any thing like that. (Shocker) I am also trying to write a manga, so I am swamped with stuff to do. Pleeze forgive me. I might change my mind if I get enough reviews though. Pleeze R&R!

Sora could almost believe that every thing that was happening was a dream. Riku coming back. Goofy, Donald. All of it! And Kairi… Sora looked out the window into the vast open space that engulfed the Gummi. It was beautiful. Goofy and Donald were silent. Jiminni sat on the control pad with his hat pulled over his eyes, snoring softly.

I Would Sora…I would do it all again…and I would do it with you Sora…

Sora rubbed his forehead. Kairi…

" We're coming up on Crimson Town." Donald said glancing back at Sora. Sora stood and walked over to the window and looked out to the world before them. Sora could barely believe his eyes. The whole world was covered, literally covered, in snow…

" It's…It's…" Sora couldn't put it into words. Donald seemed just as shocked.

" Beautiful…" Sora and Donald being so dumfounded didn't notice Goofy walk over to the control pad and look over the buttons. Goofy, being over come with his natural ADD nature, couldn't help but be sucked in by the blinking buttons.

" Donald…Uh-huck…what does this button do?"

" Don't touch anything Goofy!" Donald said still looking at the world.

" Donald, I think we should circle…Goofy no! Don't touch tha"-! Sora was cut off by Goofy's finger hitting the button and the Gummi plummeting towards the snow covered world that slept in silence.

Kimi couldn't feel the world beneath her. She could barely move. The shadows still came closer. A faint whimper made her look to see the children being slowly cornered by the ever unwavering shadows. Slowly, she tightened her grip on the blade she held, and forced herself to her feet. She had to live...She had to fight…

( Oh Joyess fun! An intermission! I know. This is way to early in the story for an intermission, but I just felt the need for a pause. I guess now might be a good time to tell you about the next character appearing in the story. She is one of the characters I created but I based her off Rikku from Final Fantasy X & X-2. I just didn't really want to call her Rikku because then there would be like…Rikku and Riku. And heck, that just gets confusing. So I just changed her name and some of her characteristics to mix her with one of my already thought out characters for another story. Most likely the one I am writing now called Every thing lives but I die. . She is kind of the comic relief of it. Oh well. But any way. Pleeze read on.)

Sora woke up. His whole body numb. He winced when he tried to move.

" D-Donald?" His voice came out in un unsuccessful moan. With a heave, he pushed himself upright to his knees. The world around him was white. No other color. No sign of where the earth met the sky or weather it all just melted together. Nothing.

" Donald!" This time his voice came out slightly clearer, But still faint. He looked down to his skin. It was almost the color of blue. He was going to die here. Freeze to death and no one would know. He would just be hidden under layers of white feathery flakes. I will always make it back to you Kairi…No matter what…

" No…" Sora said standing on unsure legs. I won't die…I made a promise…

Sora saw a figure in his blurred vision wearing all black. It walked towards him. He wore a hood that covered the upper part of his face. Hence, his eyes and most of his hair were unseen.

" Please…I need help…" Sora said faintly.

"M-my friends…they…" He fell back to the ground. The figure bent down to him. Resting a hand on his shoulder.

" Please…"

" You'll be okay…" He brought his half open eyes up to the figure.

" You'll be alright…"

Then, with one last breath, there was darkness.

Kairi stared out her window looking into the sky. Riku walked in and let out a sigh.

" Kairi…you've gotta eat. Or at least sleep." Kairi looked at him and smiled with a tired look.

I'm fine…I'm okay. Really." Riku shook his head.

" No you're not. You should have gone with him." Kairi shook her head.

" No! No, It wasn't my place. All is good…" She tried to stand from her window bed but unsuccessfully stumbled. Riku helped her catch her balance.

" You need sleep."

" No, I am O.K." She said letting him go then almost falling again.

" I'm sorry, Riku. I'm just a little worried. Maybe I could sleep I guess…"

Riku nodded with a slight smirk.

" Yeah you do." She smiled at him then looked back to the window.

" He'll come back Riku…" She looked back at him with hopeful eyes.

" I know he will!"

Sora opened his eyes slightly. He closed them again to grasp where he was. Well he felt a slight pain in his wrists, and something hard against his back. So going by the information given, he was tied to a tree. He opened his eyes saw the emerald eyed girl beaming at him.

"Wakey Wakey Sleepy head!" She smiled, a black braid falling over one of her eyes. She wore a long, black trench coat with baggy black pants and combat boots. Only god knows what was underneath. ( Oh, More fun! She is wearing something awesome underneath…but you all will find that out later.) Sora moaned.

" Sorry about the tying you up. Comfy?"

" Very…" Sora said sarcastically.

" I didn't know if you were a good guy or not so, you get the idea." Sora tried to pull his hands out. One thing was for sure, she could tie a good knot.

" Well, since we know that I am not a bad person, could you untie me?" She looked as if she were pondering the question then smiled playfully.

" What do I get if I untie you?"

" Well uh…" She smiled triumphantly, like his loss of thought was of her doing. Which it mostly was.

" Just kidding." She pulled a small, silver knife from under her coat and cut him lose. Sora rubbed his wrists.

" Does it hurt?" She asked cocking her head.

" No, I've just seen people do this so many times after being tied." She giggled. Sora straightened up and looked her over. She was small, about Kairi's size, with black, choppy hair with many un odred braids and emerald eyes. He couldn't really tell anything else because of her layers of clothing.

" Well, since we haven't really been acquainted. My name is Yukki, Yukki Aziwa." She said extending her hand.

" Sora." ( heh…no last name.) She shook it happily then took a step back.

" Well now that that's done with. Where the hell are you from?" Sora was taken aback.

" D-Destiny Islands."

" I just asked, because we very rarely get new comers. Except for just recently when more new people keep showing up. You're the first one I found though." Sora nodded like he understood. He had been told the same thing when he showed up in Traverse Town.

" Well I just came here because I was, am, looking for someone."

" Uh-huh. Who?"

" I-uh-I don't exactly know…"

" Right…" She said nodding.

" Hit you're head pretty hard there didn't ya?"

" I'm serious!" He said desperately. She shrugged.

" What ever, you're cute anyway. So lets shakety -shake our way out of here!" Sora watched her walk away out of the clump of trees. He stood there a moment, then fallowed obediently.

" Hey, wait. Did you see a Duck and a…a…I think a dog?" She called back to him in the falling snow.

"You really are a loon." He let out a long sigh, then jogged ahead.

Donald blinked, and looked around. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. The warmth entered his lungs when he breathed. The room flickered with light from a fire place at the far end of the room. Goofy laid in a bed on the left wall across from him, and on the other far wall was another bed with a girl on it. Donald had to look twice. She looked so much like Kairi! Sora is just going to love this. Donald froze at this thought, where was Sora? Just as he was beginning to wonder, the door opened and a tall, burnet headed man walked in, who looked to be a little older than Riku. He looked at Donald with his dark blue eyes.

" Rise and shine…"

Compassion bent down and moved some of the snow with his fingers. He picked up a bright pink ribbon that was laying in the snow. He looked it over and rubbed it's silk.

" She cant be any older than fifteen or sixteen…" He said standing back up.

" You can get all that from a ribbon?" Frollo asked evenly.

" Yes…I can." Compassion said handing the ribbon to a shadow that was dressed as a joker. It took it and disintegrated in the falling snow.

" You underestimate her, she not one to take lightly." Frollo said crossing his arms.

" Neither am I." Compassion said pushing the hair from his eyes.

" Do what you want with her," Frollo said walking back over to his horse and stepping onto it.

" But I get the gypsy, Esmeralda…"

Sora had to rub his arms to keep from getting to cold. Yukki just skipped along humming to herself.

" So does it always snow like this?" Sora asked shivering.

" It used to not to, but then something happened. Ever since the heartless came, it has snowed every day nonstop. No one knows why."

" The heartless are here?" Sora asked stopping. She nodded solemnly.

" They came with this guy, Frollo, he showed up here on our world about four months ago. The heartless came with him. I guess his world was lost." She turned to face him.

" Me and my brother, Krad, we've been fighting to stop the Heartless and Frollo, but we can't keep it up. So many have been lost, and Kimi, the princess, she has been trying so hard. I don't know how long we can take this…"

Sora nodded. So the heartless are on this world…so that must mean something has gotta be here!

" You know…" She started taking a step.

" All the other worlders talked about a Keybearer that came last time. He fought off the darkness." She looked back at him with a smile.

" Would you know anything?" Sora looked at her for a moment, then shook his head.

" No, I wouldn't know."

" Oh…" She said sadly.

" Oh well." She skipped ahead a few feet then fell back as something burst from the ground. A huge Large Body heartless dressed as a joker landed in front of her. Sora ran and stood in front of her protectively. Yukki stood up.

" It's okay Sora…" She said pulling her trench coat and pants off and throwing them to the side.

" I've got this." She wore a tight sleeveless black hooded sweater with black shorts and chains that hung down to her knees with suspenders. Her combat boots were untied and had black legwarmers over the top part of them. A long silver blade and a gun hung on her back. Two hand knives and one gun were strapped to her thy. She pulled the blade from her back and bent down slightly. ( She stands like Riku when she fights, just so you can picture it.)

" Come and get it!" She beamed as the shadow came toward her. Sora stepped to the side and watched in awe as she sliced through the shadow. She used it's stomach as a spring bored and flipped from it's grasp. She hit it one last time and landed happily as it faded.

" Don't hold out on me." She said straightening up.

" So…where were we?" She said to Sora. Another Large Body burst from the ground and picked her up by her foot. She dropped the blade and pulled the gun from her back and shot it in the face with fire. It dropped her and began to stagger and fall. Sora came with the KeyBlade on hand and hit the shadow and watched it fade before it fell on her. Yukki looked at him for a moment.

" You know that KeyBearer you mentioned?" He let out a sigh and looked down at her.

" I might know something…"

Donald took the tea offered to him by the burnet.

" Sorry if you don't know where you are. You would have died if I didn't get you out of the snow." Donald nodded.

" My name is Krad, Krad Aziwa."

" Donald," ( Heh…still no last name.) " And that's Goofy." Krad nodded.

" Sorry if it doesn't seem I'm that cheerful, I'll leave my sister for that. Things have been a little gloomy here lately."

" Is that you sister?" Donald asked pointing to the Auburn haired girl on the far bed.

" No, she is Kimiyo Natsumi. I found her not to far from where you and your friend were. Also your crashed Gummi." Figures Donald thought. We always crash in that thing… Krad waited for Donald to say something.

" Did you see…a boy? Brown spikey hair, not too bright." Krad shook his head.

" No I didn't see any one besides yourselves." Donald let out a worried sigh.

" Don't worry, Yukki might have seen him." Donald looked up at this.

" I am not worried! Why would I worry about him?" Krad smiled softly.

" I just assumed." He stood up and began to walk out but stopped.

" Oh yeah, I also found him." He said pointing to his shoulder. Donald squinted to see Jiminni tapping his foot.

" Forget about me did you? Well I for one am offended!" Donald laughed nervously. Krad turned back around and started out.

" Krad! Wait, what if Yukki didn't find Sora, will he be alright?" Krad was silent for a moment before speaking.

" This snow is a curse. It freezes faster than normal. The Heartless feed off it. People die out there…" He said slowly.

" That's why people say Snow falls in Tears…"

A/n: Heck yesh! Chapter sixie is done!
