A/N: NOTE! This chapter was edited by: Mamoru-Chan, PureOne, and FlowerLady-Aerith! Thanks a ton!!!! I owe you guys BIG!


Day turned to weeks, as weeks turn to months. Every world was slowly being consumed by Heartless, and darkness. Kairi spent most of her time with Sora and Cloud. They tried to comfort her, and tell her that she'd eventually find out how to save everyone, but she just shook her head, and told them that if she didn't get it now, it would be too late.

"Sora! Another world has been swallowed up!" Donald panicked. He and Goofy had been staring at the stars, and watching them go, one by one.

Sora glared at the duck, and put a finger to his lips. "Shh! You're going to upset Kairi again!" He whispered.

As if on cue, Kairi walk into the room, her eyes red and puffy, and her cheeks stained with tears. "Another world, huh?" she whispered as tears ran down her cheeks.

He quickly ran over, and gave her a comforting hug. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine-"


"SORA!!!! THE HEARTLESS ARE COMING!!!!"


He quickly let go of Kairi, and ran to the main lobby, where Leon, Yuffie, and Cloud were trying to hold back millions of heartless. He jumped off the stairs, summoned his Keyblade, and began to fight.

Kairi quickly left the room to see what was going on. She saw the millions upon millions of Heartless entering, so she jolted down the stairs, summoned her Keyblade, and thrust into the ground. "LIGHT!" She yelled out. Some of the heartless were destroyed, but many continued to enter the castle. She slowly stood to her feet, and began to fight in close combat. Every time a Heartless would grab her, Sora came to the rescue; as did Riku and the others.

They all fought for hours on end, until a group of Heartless managed to break through them, and came closer to the door in which Kairi could no longer enter.

"NO!!!" She screamed, but it was to late.

She watched in horror as all her friends disappeared, and her castle slowly being consumed into the black abyss that is darkness.

She fell to the ground in this dark and lonely place. No one was there but her. She let her friends down, her parents down, and everyone else down.

Tears trekked down her blood-covered face. "Sora, Riku." she moaned out in agony. "Where are you?"


"K-Kairi?"


She sat up, hearing the voice of Sora, and the cough of Riku. She crawled over to them, to see them lying there, badly bleeding, and breathing heavily.

"What have they done to you?"She whispered, getting between them.

Sora gave a small cheesy smile. "Nothing out of the ordinary."

Riku simply gave a small chuckle, before groaning in pain again.

She looked them over several times. They had thousands of deep cuts that brought out crimson blood, and... light?

That's when it hit her. What her grandmother told her. Light still exists in the heart of every child. She needed to give up her heart. She needed to realize the light, and she knew how.

"Sora? Can I see your Keyblade?" She asked.

"Sure, but why?" He asked, handing it over.

She held it to her chest. "Because I know how to save everyone." She took a deep breath and was about to thrust it into her heart.

"No!" Riku gasped out. She looked over at him. "There has... to be another way!"

She just smiled. "No. I'm afraid there isn't." She pushed the keyblade into her chest. Her eyes widened in pain, then closed halfway as she fell backwards. She pulled the keyblade out, and watched as all the stars began to come back. She grabbed the hand of her friend, and her love. "Look's like we won't be going back home." She whispered, her voice quivering.

"D-Don't talk like that, Kairi. We'll get there." Sora said, as tears dropped from his, and Riku's eyes.

She gave a small laugh, and gasped in pain. "Don't kid yourself. We won't be going back." Her breathing started to get shallow. "But, I can promise that we will be together forever." She looked up at him, and gave a small, sad smile. "I love you so much, Sora..." Her eyes closed, as her chest stopped moving up and down.

Sora looked at her. He began to shake her arm, as his tears became a waterfall of emotion. "K-Kairi. Wake up." He took a gasp for breath. "Th-This isn't funny. C-Come on! Stop kidding around!" He began to choke on the tears and words.

"S-Sora, she's gone." Riku managed to say in a quivering voice.

"NO! SHE CAN"T BE!" he screamed, letting out all his pain. Yet, for some odd reason, he didn't hear a reply from Riku. His eyes got wide as realization hit him. "No, not you too." He whispered, as he began his painful cries again.

He was left alone in the darkness. How would he survive?


Maybe I shouldn't survive...


He gave a last glace at Kairi and Riku, before he closed his eyes, and welcomed death. "Don't worry Kairi... Riku... We will be together forever..." he whispered, as he felt himself drift of to a sleep, where he would never awake again.


I promise... Together... Forever ...


A/N: Well, there's the last chapter. Hope it didn't disappoint you or anything. If you are wondering why it's so short, I wanted to get it down, without the horrible drag of school in the way.

Well, since this is done, I better start bringing up my ELA grade. Talk about ironic! I've gotten a bunch of reviews saying that I'm so good with writing, yet, I'm starting to flunk ELA, maybe it'd help if she'd take things in, even if they aren't in ink? Well, Please review. I would like to know what you thought of this chapter, the entire story, and if you'd like to see a sequel. Well, Thank you sooo much for reading, and I hope you enjoyed! Until my next fanfic!
