Sora looked at the three men around him. He was ready to fight. Ready to get rid of the people who had made him an experiment. He wanted to kill them with all his heart. He looked at each face as they nodded signaling they were ready. He nodded and started heading down the halls with the others following him without a word. The only thing heard was the sound of their feet walking against the floor. Soon they reached the doors of which had caused the group so much pain and trouble. Sora took one last look at his friends before the battle and gulped. This battle would be hard for all of them. He knew it. Just as he raised his hand to push the doors open, Riku took his hand in his own. Sora looked at him. Riku only smiled at him before kissing him. "Just in case." He said when Sora looked at him with questioning eyes. "Remember your promise." Sora said. Riku nodded and together they pushed the door open. It opened to reveal a prepared Ansem and Sephiroth. With no words exchanged between the two groups, they immediately went into battle.
Sora panted as he landed on his feet, keyblade in hand. He looked at Ansem with eyes of fire. He wouldn't let him win. He was the keyblade master after all. He was supposed to defeat the heartless and if he got rid of the one who controlled them then maybe it would solve the problem once and for all. Riku landed beside him panting just as hard. They looked at each other and nodded before both boys ran at Ansem ready to kill. Ansem smirked and held out his hand doing a spell. At the last moment, the boys split up going opposite directions and ending up right behind Ansem. Ansem didn't even have time to be surprised before two swords were stuck through his back, the ends coming out of his front covered in crimson blood that dripped to the floor. They pulled them out and watched as Ansem staggered and fell to the floor into a pool of his own blood. The boys stared at their work while regaining their breath. Sora looked over at the other fight to see Sephiroth about to attack them again. He nudged Riku in the side before rushing off to help them, stopping Sephiroth's attack just in time. Riku followed suit and joined them. It wasn't long till Sephiroth was on the ground in his own pool of blood near Ansem. Their blood began to mix from the pools expanding. The four boys looked at their results with relief in their eyes. Sora allowed the keyblade to disappear as he trapped Riku in a hug. Riku responded with a smile that was small but still held many emotions.
Sora, Riku, Cloud, and Leon all sat in their living room relaxing for the first time in a long time. Cloud watched his younger brother who had gained a newly found respect from his friends. Sora leaned on Riku with tired eyes yet they were alert as if he was expecting another attack to come their way. Cloud laughed to himself as he noticed this. Yet he knew that they still had to be on guard for a couple more years until they were sure that the heartless were never coming back. He sat back and looked out the window at the ocean that lay before them, the rhythm slow and steady like always. He hadn't realized how much he had missed listening to the waves crash against the shore. He stood up and motioned to Leon to come with him so the two younger boys could have some time alone together. Leon nodded and followed him out of the room glancing back only once before entering the hall where Cloud stood. Leon walked to the wall across from him and leaned on it, well aware of Cloud's intentions of spying on the boys.
Riku looked up to see Cloud and Leon had left the room. He looked down at the brunette who was leaning on him. He didn't interrupt the silence. Instead, he let it stay just so he could cherish the moment. It was Sora who broke the silence. "Riku…I'm glad." Sora said. Riku looked down at the boy. "About what?" he asked. Sora looked up at him with happy eyes. "That you cared about trying to get rid of my misery. Even if what you did was irrational I'm still glad. You know, we could have just talked it out before you even thought about doing that." Sora said as he found comfort on Riku's shoulder. Riku smiled a sincere smile. "Yeah. I should have talked to you about what I felt. But you still forgave me even after what I did. I don't what to ever do that to you again. I promise I won't." Riku said. Sora smiled as he closed his eyes. "I know you won't." he replied as he fell asleep leaning on Riku. Cloud pulled away from the doorway. Leon looked over at him. "Satisfied? You trust Riku now?" Leon asked as Cloud came over to him. Cloud didn't say a word but Leon knew exactly what he was thinking. "Don't worry. I know Sora will be happy and I know that Riku will keep his promise." He said as he wrapped his arms around Cloud. Cloud nodded as he closed his eyes. He knew Leon was right. He was sure too. Sora had finally been able to grow up and now he can handle his own problems. He would miss Sora's childish behavior in a way. But that was in the past. Times were beginning to grow happy again.
