Chapter 8

Riku walked along a deserted road, wondering where he'd find Lana. 'How depressing… This place is a ghost town.' Hecurled his fists into balls. "He better not have lied to me." He said aloud. Then Riku saw someone walk out of a house and start walking towards him. It was another guy; he looked a little older than Riku. He was looking at the ground as he walked, but then he lifted his head up, just then realizing he wasn't alone. He looked startled and it took him a second to get back his composure.

"Who are you?" He said, pointing at Riku.

Riku looked around. "Do you know a girl named Lana? Is she here?"

The other guy looked at him in distain and laughed. "I'm not telling you."

"Oh god, just tell me!"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Why are you looking for her?" He yelled.

"It's none of your business!" Riku shouted back.

"Fine then." He said, walking past Riku with his hands behind his head. "In that case…" He waited until he was right next to Riku. "No."

Riku growled, turned towards the other guy and socked him right in the stomach.

"Wha-?" He gasped, stumbling back and trying to catch his breath. He looked up, his eyes flashing. He ran at Riku, throwing punches. Riku blocked them, until he was hit in the face, sending him flying back. He flipped in mid-air, landing on his feet.

"You know, you're really starting to piss me off." Riku said, running at the other guy.

"Heh heh, that's what I was going for." He laughed, dodging Riku. Riku spun around slammed his forearm into his neck. He fell onto his hands and knees, trying to breathe.

"Now," Riku said, standing over him, "Tell me where Lana is."

He shook his head. "No."

Riku sighed. "Why do you think you have to protect her? She's not weak."

"I know she's not. But I have to."

"Why?"

"She's… my sister."

Riku stared at him, stunned. 'Nice going, idiot! You just beat up her brother! Stupid, stupid, stupid!' He yelled at himself.

Lana's brother slowly got to his feet and looked at Riku quizzically. "What's with the robe?" He asked.

Riku rolled his eyes.

"So why are you looking for Lana?"

Riku looked away. "Because I need to tell her something."

"And that something would be…?"

"None of your business." Riku said, enunciating every syllable.

Ty sighed. "Fine, I'll tell you. She's not here anymore. They left this morning."

"They?"

"Yeah, they."

"Who are they?"

"Lana, Sora, Don-"

"Sora! She's with Sora?"

"Yeah, do you- Whoa! What's that!"

Riku had opened a portal and was about to step through. He looked at him blankly. "It's a portal."

"Wh-where does it go?"

"Wherever I want it to." Riku said, stepping into the portal. "Hey, if you see Lana again, tell her Riku was looking for her."

Ty looked around and walked away with his hands in his pockets. "Riku... sure." He said sarcastically.

"What do you want?" Asked a kid with blonde hair. There was also another boy with black hair and a girl with long brown hair in braids. They were all eating some kind of pop-sicles and looked less that thrilled when Sora, Lana, Donald, and Goofy showed up.

Sora laughed nervously. "Uhh, just seeing what's back here."

Yeah, well this is our spot. So beat it." The blonde said.

Lana crossed her arms. "Stop being so rude and maybe we'll leave."

Then the black haired kid got up. "You're new around here, right? I'm Pence."

The girl came over too. "I'm Olette. And that's Hayner." She said, pointing to the blonde kid.

"Hi. I'm Lana. This is Sora, Donald, and Goofy." Lana said.

"Sora? We just met someone who was looking for you." Olette said hesitantly.

"Who?"

"A girl named Kairi."

"Kairi was here!" Sora exclaimed. "Where is she now?"

"Some guy in black took her away."

"Organization XIII." Lana whispered.

"What's that?" Sora asked, confused.

"Organization XIII. Was he wearing a long black robe with a hood?"

"Yeah." Pence said.

"It was Organization XIII, Sora."

"But who ARE they?" Donald asked impatiently.

"I don't know. But I saw someone in a long black robe in Integra. He said something about 'The Organization.' Then I had a dream that night. And Ri- someone warned me about Organization XIII. I know it was them." They were so busy talking that they didn't notice the black shape creeping up behind them until they grabbed Lana from behind. "What? Let go of me! Let go-!" They covered up her mouth with their hand.

"Let her go!" Sora yelled, trying to figure out a way to attack them without hurting Lana. But before he could move, a dark portal opened up on the brick wall next to Lana's 'kidnapper.' Lana tried to break free but they were holding her too tightly. She kicked them repeatedly the best she could, but it was no use. She was drug through the portal.

"Sora!" She managed to scream one last time before the portal closed.

"Lana! Damnit, where did they take her?" Sora shouted, pounding his fists against the wall.

"Sora, calm down. We need to think rationally if we want to find Kairi and Lana." A familiar voice said from behind him. Sora spun around.

"King Mickey!"

"Your Majesty!" Donald and Goofy exclaimed.

The king nodded. "Then you know where they are? Both of them?" Sora asked hopefully.

"I have a pretty good idea where the Organization is keeping them."

"Where?" Sora, Donald, and Goofy all asked in unison.

"The world that never was."

Lana opened her eyes to see that she was in a large room with a huge window with bars on it. She also saw that she wasn't the only one there. There was another girl standing at the window looking out of it. She was wearing a pink shirt and shirt, and had long reddish-brown hair. Lana sat up, groaning. The other girl spun around, startled.

"Oh, you're awake." She said, walking over to her. Lana looked up, a bit wary. "I'm Kairi." She said.

"Kairi? You're Kairi!" Lana shouted, jumping to her feet. She grabbed Kairi's hands and spun her around.

"Y-yes, I'm Kairi."

"Oh my god, you're Kairi!" Lana walked around her in a circle. "You're so pretty. I can't believe it's you!" Lana said, laughing. Kairi looked a bit concerned. Lana laughed again. "I'm Lana. But that's not important. Sora's been looking for you!"

"You know Sora?" Kairi squeaked, excited.

"Yeah!"

"Where is he?"

"He was… in Twilight Town. We had just heard that you had been there when some guy in black came and brought me here." Lana said, sitting down on the ground angrily. "Where is here, anyway."

"I'm not sure…" Kairi said, sitting down also.

They both sighed at the same time. Lana looked around curiously.

"Well this sucks."

Riku entered a large white room with absolutely nothing in it. Nothing, that is, but a dark figure standing against the wall opposite him.

"Where's Lana? I know you have her here."

Silence…

"Tell me where she is, Xemnas!"

Xemnas laughed. "Do you care that much about her?"

Riku didn't answer. He held out his hand, and his sword appeared in it.

"Do you think for one second you could beat me?" Xemnas taunted him.

Riku laughed. "Guess we'll just have to find that out."

Haru woke up lying in a comfortable bed. She looked around, seeing that the room she was in was mostly green. Then she closed her eyes, almost forgetting why she wasn't in Hollow Bastion. Then she gasped and sat up, panicking. "Where am I?" She wondered aloud. She jumped out of the bed, and ran to the door, pushing it open. She came into a short hallway, and ran down to the doors at the end of it. She burst through them, and found herself in a large circular room. She thought it was empty, but then saw two people at the other side of the room. They were both wearing long black robes with hoods, so she couldn't see either of their faces. They were fighting. Well, one of them was. The other was just dodging attacks, laughing. 'He's just toying with him.' She thought. Then there was a loud clanging noise as the one who was attacking dropped his sword, and then fell to the ground himself. Haru gasped, and knew that the one on the floor was in trouble. As silently as possible, she began to creep over to the two, trying to hear what they were saying. She pressed herself against the wall, praying that she wasn't seen. Apparently, the two people were too focused on each other, and didn't notice her. She leaned forward slightly as the person standing started to speak. She listened, then had to press her hand against her mouth to stop herself from crying out when she heard what they were saying.

Riku collapsed onto the cold hard floor, unable to stand any longer. Xemnas circled around him laughing at his weakness.

"I won't let your pathetic human feelings interfere with my plans for Lana. She will be a big advantage to the organization."

Riku pushed himself up, leaning against the wall next to him. "And I won't let you use her like that." He said, pressing his hand against the deep slash across his side. He swung his sword, missing Xemnas pitifully.

"You're no match for me, Riku." Xemnas said calmly.

"I don't care!" Riku shouted at him, trying to hit him again and again, and missing every time. "I'm not going to let you take Lana's heart!" Riku summoned up all the strength that was left in him and put it all into one last attempt to strike Xemnas. He swung his sword as hard as he could, then smirked to himself when he felt it hit him. Xemnas wasn't prepared for Riku's strong attack, and couldn't dodge him. Riku slashed Xemnas across the stomach, then fell back against the wall, incapable of standing on his own. He slid down to the floor, and heard Xemnas stumble back, bleeding openly. He looked at Riku, stunned and enraged. He then disappeared into a portal.

Riku sat slumped over, panting. The he heard footsteps coming towards him. "Riku! Are you alright!"

Riku hesitated, and then realized who was talking. "Haru?" he asked.

Haru kneeled down next to him, immediately surveying his wounds. "Which one hurts the most?" She asked, concerned. Riku lifted his hand off his side. It was covered in blood, and the wound was still bleeding sluggishly. "Ok, I need to find something to stop the bleeding with…." She said, looking around frantically. There was nothing. She groaned, and then realized that she was still wearing her coat. She took it off, and grabbed Riku's hands. "You have to stand up." She instructed, pulling on him. Riku braced himself against the wall, and pushed himself up, relying mostly on the wall for support. Haru wrapped her coat around his waist, and tied it tightly. "That should help." She said. Then she giggled at him. "You look funny."

"Well thanks." Riku said weakly. He could just imagine how he looked, in his long robe, with a tan coat tied around his waist.

"Riku, do you know where Lana is? I heard you talking about her."

"I don't know… That's what I was trying to find out." Haru sighed, nodding.

"Ok, well, we need to find a place for you to rest. C'mon, follow me." Riku followed her, having to walk along the wall painfully slowly. He staggered along, stumbling now and then. "Why are you wearing that hood?" Haru asked.

"Would you rather me not?" He responded.

"I don't care… I was just wondering." Riku nodded, keeping the hood up. "What's 'The Organization?'" Haru asked, remembering Xemnas say that Lana would be an advantage to them.

"Organization XIII. They're a group of powerful nobodies. They control the rest of the nobodies."

"Nobodies?"

Riku was silent. He didn't feel like answering any more questions. They came to the room Haru woke up in. She opened the door for Riku, and he limped over to the bed, sitting down heavily.

"Now stay here. I'm going to go see if I can't find something better for your wounds."

"Where would I go?" Riku asked.

Haru laughed. "Good point. I'll be back soon." She left and Riku sighed, pulling off the coat around him. It was soaked in blood, and he threw it onto the floor. He lay back on the bed, unsure of what was going to happen to him now. His eyelids felt heavy, so he closed them. He immediately wished he hadn't. Images of Lana flashed in his mind. He saw her limp, heartless body lying on the floor, and the organization members standing over her, laughing. He bolted upright, ignoring the pain in his side. He tried to stand up, but his legs gave away under him, causing him to fall onto the floor. He leaned against the bed and groaned, feeling completely helpless. He slammed his fists into the ground, furious at himself for being so weak. Suddenly, he felt an emotion come over him that he did not want. 'No! Pull yourself together, Riku!' He screamed at himself. But it was no use. He felt the tears stream down his face. "Damnit." he said out loud. "Damn you. If you weren't so weak, you'd be able to stand up. You'd be able to find Lana if you weren't so fucking pathetic!" He yelled. He leaned his head against the bed. Then everything went black.

Lana and Kairi sat back to back, trying to work out a way out of…wherever they were. Suddenly, Lana jumped to her feet, making Kairi fall comically backwards onto the floor.

"Hey!" Kairi said, rubbing her head.

Lana was standing at the window yelling at someone outside. "Hey you!" She yelled, jumping up and down. "You, Blondie! I know you can hear me!"

Outside, a blonde hair young looking guy flinched when he heard Lana calling him. He looked like he was going to run for a second, then turned around and smirked. "Hi there!" He said casually, as if the two had just bumped into each other on the street.

"'Hi there?' Don't 'Hi there' me! Tell me where we are. Why are we in here!"

"Err, I… Uhh … I don't… know." He said, smiling innocently.

Lana looked at him incredulously. "WH-What do you mean you don't know! You're in the organization! You should know!"

"Well, ok I know but I can't tell you."

Lana glared as hard as she could. The organization member looked at her oddly for a second, and then walked away shaking his head. Lana growled. "Come ON!" She shouted. "This is such bullshit!" She sighed, sliding down to the floor. Kairi came over and sat next to her.

Then Lana remembered something Riku had said to her in her dream.

''They want your power.' My power?'

Lana stared hard at the wall, concentrating with all her mind. She closed her eyes, and felt all her energy course through her. The she opened them, and they were no longer purple. Her eyes had turned black, and her hair billowed around her head. Kairi inched back a few feet, scared and confused about what was happening to Lana.

Lana stood up, and walked over to the wall. It was almost like she was floating, she was graceful and terrifying. She slowly reached out her hand and touched the wall. Suddenly, there was a deafening bang, and the wall crumbled in front of Lana. She stood staring at the pile of ruin at her feet, and then fell to the floor.

"Lana!" Kairi yelled, running over to her. Lana opened her eyes slowly, and Kairi was relieved to see they had turned back to their original light purple. "Lana, what was that?" Kairi asked.

"I'm... not sure." She said. "But hey, now we have a way out!" Lana laughed softly. Kairi nodded, smiling, and helped Lana stand up. As they were struggling through the rubble on the floor, Lana tripped, bringing Kairi down with her. "Ohhh, sorry." Lana moaned, trying to stand up. Then, both of them looked up to see…

CLIFFHANGER! Hahaha! Sorry, I really had to. I know this took a few days, but my internet kept crashing and I was freaking out. But now it's fixed! (Hopefully) And that won't happen anymore! So… chyeahh.

Reviews are nice!
