Zexion's POV

Xemnas walked out of his room, smiling smugly. I started forward, ready to rip him apart.

"Why! Why did you do this to her!" I screamed, starting forward. Roxas and Axel holding my back.

"What's wrong with you Xemnas?" asked Riku, rage and loathing emanating from his glare. "Why did you do this?"

Xemnas laughed cruelly. "Did it ever occur to you Ansem, that she was just using you because you once wielded the powers of darkness? And you, Zexion. She was just using you too."

"You lie!" I spat. "I saw into her eyes… into her very soul! There is no conceivable way that someone that beautiful… that pure could be using anyone!"

"Nobodies can see if someone has dark powers. Sam obviously saw that I no longer wield the darkness."

"Whatever you wish to believe Ansem, Zexion." Xemnas turned and entered his room.

Before the door closed, Riku shouted, "I'm no longer Ansem! Stop calling me that!" Then the door swung closed.

"Why does he call you Ansem?" asked Roxas. Riku sighed, and explained.

"The island that we lived on was destroyed by the darkness. Kairi got kidnapped and Sora and I went about trying to rescue her, each in our own way. I succumbed to the darkness, and the keyblade chose me over Sora. But I ended up getting a keyblade anyway. I gave my body to the darkness, and Ansem, the heartless of Xehanort, the apprentice of the real Ansem, began residing in me. Eventually, he took over my body completely, and I transformed into him. After he was defeated, I was sealed behind the door to darkness so that Sora and Kairi could escape.

"Eventually, I got out from behind the door, and I was turned back into myself. We rescued Kairi and she went back the islands. But then, we had to fight a huge battle. The world was collapsing, a door to darkness was open, and there was only room in the gummi ship for one of us. Sora made me go, and he said, "If you escaped, I can too!" And he went into the realm of darkness. That was the last time I saw him, until now."

"Oh," said Roxas, understanding now.

I pulled myself away from Axel and Roxas, who were still holding me, and stalked to Sam's room. I tried to open the door, but it was locked. I glared at it, then kicked it open. It opened with a bang, and we walked into the destruction that used to be a room.

Shards of glass littered the floor. The curtains, wall ornaments, mattress, and blankets had been slashed. I spotted something silver, and walked to her dresser, boots crunching the glass. I picked up the shiny silver thing. It was her pendant, the one she never took off. It was a last remnant of when she was human. It was bathed in her blue blood. I clenched it in my hand, and closed my eyes. The blood was still warm. I clasped the chain around my neck, and put the pendant under my shirt and my cloak, against my skin. The whole pendant was warm. I think I imagined the pendant beating faintly against my skin for a few seconds. I think I imagined the pendant beating… with Sam's heartbeat.


Might be a bit for the next chapte.r I dunno. r and r.
