Disclaimer - wait for it... wait for it... wait for it... I don't own KH

I moved to the edge of the bed but before I could clear my head and think about what all had really just happened, a near by door opened. I looked up to see a small figure walking through the door. He was wearing a robe and had a crown wedged in between his rather large ears. I couldn't help but grin as I waved.

"Long time no see King Mickey" I said, glad to see him again, but his face somber as he walked up to me. "Sora, what happened to Kairi?" He said, wasting no time in getting to the matter at hand. "Kairi!" I couldn't believe I'd forgotten. "How is she? Is she ok? were you able to help her?" I asked, stringing my words together making them barely comprehensible. "Well, I called on Merlin and Yen-Sid both, between the two of them, they were able to... make her condition stable. Still they both had trouble and she almost didn't make it. Sora, you've got to tell me what happened!"

So I explained everything to him. I told him about my very first plaguing thoughts, My uncontrollable anger, the dark attacks, Roxas reappearing, the events on the island, and then the events with the door. I told him all about how Kairi got hurt and I could almost feel the pain of thinking I'd seen her die again. But I continued the story. "I never saw Riku actually get hurt during the fight and I saw him waking up as I took off with Kairi so I assumed he was ok... he IS Riku after all" I said, finishing up my story. Mickey sighed. "I'm surprised you were able to use that card Sora, it was made for the halls of castle Oblivion... but... where there's a will, there's a way I guess. I'll do all I can to help Kairi until she's ok again. But how do you feel right now? After those events in the door, does the darkness still linger in your mind?"

As Mickey asked, I realized that I didn't feel it there anymore as I usually did. "I don't know... I could feel it more and more in my mind every time it attacked me but when it first started I didn't feel it at all. So it may still be there, but for now, it doesn't seem to be." Mickey nodded then headed back to the door. "Come on Sora, You should probably go see Kairi" and as he said that I was instantly up and following him, needing to see her more than anything right now.

As he led me through the castle, I looked around at all of it. Some of it was familiar to me as I had been here before but as we walked, Mickey lead me down an unfamiliar corridor and past a few funny looking rooms. At last we came to a small door which he pushed open and lead me into a dimly lit room. I quickly noticed Kairi lying on a bed, sleeping "Kairi!" I called out as I ran to her, kneeling down by her bed and grabbing her hand, which was a little cold. She looked lifeless again but this time I could see her just barely breathing. In either corner in the back of the room sat Merlin and Yen-Sid. I simply sat on my knees next to her bed, holding her hand, not wanting to let go until she woke up.

She stirred a little but she didn't open her eyes. I was relieved she was alright but now I simply didn't know what to do. Mickey came up and put a hand on my shoulder. "She'll be ok Sora, right now we should try and work to figure out whatever it was that attacked you and how we can defeat it." I nodded and stood. "And Sora, I'd like it if you could stay here so we can keep an eye on you. Not to mention it's probably weaker here since we have the cornerstone of light." I simply nodded again. I'd rather be near Kairi anyway. Mickey continued talking "We'll probably need Riku and Roxas to. I'll be sure to have them brought here." As I nodded one last time Mickey exited the room, and I followed him out. "So what can we do to find out what this... thing... that's infested my mind is." I was anxious to get it out and completely get rid of it for good. It had caused enough problems and I was tired of it. "Yen-Sid says he has some ideas with some ancient magic techniques so we'll have to start there but for now you should rest until we can all sit down and calmly talk about it. From what you've told me, it sounds like you haven't been in your right mind for a long while now." I nodded and found that Mickey had led us back to the room I'd woken up in. You can stay here for now. Go ahead and sleep" He said then walked off. I went into the room and flopped down lazily on the bed. My last few thoughts were of Kairi as I dozed off.

Riku's POV

I could feel my head throbbing but couldn't seem to open my eyes. I heard some sort of noise next to me as I rolled over a little, feeling a little bit of sand get into my shirt and slide against my skin. I knew I was at the beach now. I finally managed to open my eyes to see Sora running away from me, he looked like he was carrying Kairi. I closed my eyes again and before I knew it, I had passed out again.

When I woke up I felt a lot better. I opened my eyes to find I was still lying on the beach but it was dark now and the moon was high in the sky. I slowly stood up and brushed myself off, the sand stuck to my skin and was tangled in my hair. I went to go find Sora and Kairi, worried that something serious had happened to one of them if they had both just left me on the beach like that.

I soon found myself in front of Sora's house. I let myself in and wandered up to his room to find broken glass shattered across the floor and a letter lying in the middle of it. I picked it up and my eyes widened as I realized what it was. It was the letter King Mickey had sent us after our last 'adventure' and it had contained a gummi block that he said would warp them straight to the castle if they ever needed him. I knew something serious had definitely happened if Sora had used it in such a rush, but now I didn't know how to reach them or help them.

I went to find Roxas, thinking he might know something. I ran down stairs and as I opened the door to leave, I coincidentally found him getting ready to open the door and come in.

"Riku?" He asked a bit confused. He came in and I proceeded to explain to him everything that had happened... that I knew of anyway. After which he just sat there and lost himself in thought over it. Finally he spoke up.

"So how do you think we can find them? I mean, according to the letter you just showed me, their at Disney castle, but how do we get there? You don't have your dark powers anymore... but I don't know if I do or not..."

I decided against the ideas of darkness "Best for us not to delve into the darkness once more. It's backfired to many times." He nodded and we continued thinking for a few moments.

Rather suddenly however, a bright light flashed through the room and before the two of us stood a familiar, tiny framed figure. It was of course King Mickey.

"Mickey!" I exclaimed, rather surprised he was just standing in front of us like this all of a sudden. He turned and smiled, seeing both me and Roxas together.

"Good I don't have to search for you two now. Sora and Kairi are at my castle already, I'll take you there and we can give our explanations there." He said, seeming to be in a bit of a hurry.

I simply nodded as Roxas still seemed a bit shocked from seeing Mickey pop out of nowhere. After a moment though we were both up and ready to go. Mickey held out a gummi block. "This is the same kind of gummi block I sent you. I never told you how I got a hold of it did I? Chip and Dale actually made this from some warp gummi blocks, instant transportation." He said quickly explaining. I nodded but Roxas seemed a bit confused. "I'll explain gummi blocks to you another time Roxas, for now, let's go." I said looking to Mickey. He nodded and with another flash, our scenery changed. I looked around to see the walls of Disney castle.
