Chapter Thirteen

World of Darkness

Sora ran over to Crystal.

"Crystal, Crystal?" he shook her.

"Are you ok?"

Crystal looked up at him. "Y..yeah..." she said. "What happened to Ansem?"

"I took care of him, don't worry."

"What about Riku?"

Sora hung his head. "I dunno, but I'll find him." He looked at her then walked over towards the Dark Keyblade.

"Hmm..." Sora said.

"S..Sora?" said Goofy.

"Sora no!" yelled Donald as Sora smiled at them then shoved the dark Keyblade into his chest. White-gold sparks came out of him and Kairi stirred. Kairi looked up at Sora.

"Sora? Sora!" she ran to him but his disappeared.

"No he can't be gone, I won't lose him!" yelled Kairi. She turned and saw Crystal.

"Crystal? are you ok?" Kairi asked.

"Y..yeah." Crystal said.

"It's.." she gasped. Kairi turned around and looked at Ansem in his true form. Crystal couldn't help to think...He looks like Ricky Martin. He started to say something and Kairi glared. Crystal was too angry to pay attention to what he was saying. Then he continued saying things then Donald and Goofy we're saying something to each other. Ansem started to walk over to Kairi, he stopped and looked like he was in pain. Out of nowhere Riku appeared glowing gold. Crystal gasped.

"No! Your not gonna use me for this!" He yelled. He then closed his eyes as if he was in pain. "Get out of here! The Heartless are comming!" "Kairi! Listen to me...get out of here!"

Ansem yelled "You want to do this? Then I'll do this!" He waved his hand at Crystal. Crystal winced. Riku stared at Crystal.

"No, Crystal!" he yelled as Crystal's body began to glow gold then disappeared in a bunch of sparkles.

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

Crystal woke in a dark chamber. She looked around but couldn't see a thing.

"Hello?" her voice echoed into the black nothing.

"Umm...anybody?" she called again. She looked down. She was standing on a grey path that extended as far she could see, everything behind that was black. She decided to walk it, there was ntohing else she could do. She heard footsteps behind her.

"Hello?" she called.

"Crystal!" yelled a familiar voice.

"Riku!" answered Crystal. Riku came into view running as fast as he could then tackled her to the ground. He hugged her tight as she kissed his neck.

"Oh man, I'm so happy to see you!" said Crystal. Riku looked at her then smiled.

"I'm so sorr..." Riku said but was interrupted by Crystal kissing him. She pulled away and looking at him, she was crying.

"What's wrong?" asked Riku.

"It's all my fault Riku, it's my fault your here." said Crystal.

"What are you talking about." asked Riku.

"That guy showed up and he was saying things like "Riku betrayed you!" and all of this crap and I said he was right and he said..." Riku kissed her then hugged her. "No, it's my fault I agreed to him that to open myself to more darkness. And he posessed my body...which is destroyed but...how'd you get here too? I thought he killed you." he said sadly.

"I don't know, I woke up here.."

Riku shrugged then hugged her and put her head by his shoulder.

"I love you." he said.

Crystal smiled. "I love you too."
