Okay, here it is, Chapter Two! Yay for me! Okay, it's kinda short, but here goes.

And now we find out the owner of the voice!


Chapter 2

(Jessica POV)

Sora's voice, then Kairi's, echoing numbly in my head as I struggled to regain control of my senses and remember where I was. They were speakingt from far away, or so it seemed to my disgruntled brain. Riku, I heard him as well. He was upset, I could here it in his voice as he spoke, even though I couldn't understand what he was saying. I frowned, something was upaetting him and I couldn't help him, as dead inside as I felt. He was holding me close to his body, I realized smiling, wishing I could snuggle into him but unable to move my deadened body. I felt something wet fall onto my face, falling onto my slightly parted lips, slipping into my mouth. It was satly and strange. There were tears I realized sadly, Riku's tears. Riku was crying.

"What am I going to do?" I heard Riku sob, his tears continuing to fall onto my face. I felt sad, like crying, Riku's tears casuing tears of my own to form at the corners of my eyes, slipping sadly down my face.

"I have a few ideas." I whispered, opening my eyes slowly. Everyone looked down at me, smiling to see I was awake for some reason. Everyone was smiling that is, but Riku. Riku just stared down at me, unable to believe I was awake and speaking to them all for some strange reason I couldn't understand. "What's wrong Riku, whay are you crying?"

"I though you were dead." Riku said, his voice strained slightly, tears staining his pale face, falling softly down his face onto mine. He pulled me closer to him, his face inches from mine. "Don't you ever do that to me again, understand? I thought I lost you. I love you too much to go through that ever again!"

And then Riku did it at last. He closed the small gap between us and kissed me tenderly, his mouth closing over mine, making my head spin deliciously. It was heaven, I never wanted it to end, this one tiny moment in time the two of shared lasting forever in his memory and mine. Riku grew restless, his hands reaching behind my back to pull me closer into him as my arms crept around his neck, pulling his lips harder against mine. Closing my eyes, I gave myself over to wonderful thing I was experiencing for the first time. No one had ever kissed me before, and I was glad I could share this new expericence with Riku, the one person I loved above all else in the world. It was all so strange and beautiful to me as his rough lips crushed my softer ones, Riku moaning into my mouth with need, causing me to blush as he continued to kiss me.

At a strange sound coming from behind Riku we broke apart, looking tenetitively behind us. Sora, Kairi, Donald, Goofy, and the King stood there, staring at us with wide eyes, each one looking a little pleased that we had finally kissed, or a little pink in the face from having watched us kiss.

I blushed crimson again, pressing my face into Riku's chest. I had forgotten they had been watching us, that they had been with us at all on top of this balcony at all, forgotten that it wasn't just the two of us in our own little world where we could do whatever we wanted without worrying about anyone watching us.

"Let's go get Xemnas. He's the last survivor of Organization XIII." Riku said deterimedly, helping me to my feet so I could stand. I wobbled slightly, clutching his arm for support. He looked down at me, smiling. "Don't worry sweetheart, I'm here to protect you from him this time. I won't let anyone hurt you ever again, I can promise you that."

"I know." I said quietly, reaching up to take his face in between my hands, bringing it down to mine so I could kissed him again. Riku's so much taller than me now, so much stronger than I remember him, I though as I held him close to me, frowning slightly. There's a strange sadness about him as well now, and I need to help him get rid of it somehow. He's so wonderful. I want him to be as happy as I am right now for the rest of his life.

We made our way up to the tower where we knew that Xemnas would be pouting and cursing us over his ruined Kingdom Hearts. He turned to face us, smiling cruely, and Riku stepped protectively in front of me to block me from his view. I was glad that Riku wanted to protect me and take care of me, but in a fair fight I knew Xemnas stood no chance. When Xemnas had taken me captive, he had cheated, not giving me a chance to defend myself. I hadn't been aware of his pressence behind me until he had struck me over the head, knocking me out. It hadn't been fair, but fair wasn't how Xemnas worked. He spoke to all of us, telling us and trying to convince us that we were wrong about those who walked in the twilight, but nothing he could say would change our minds. He had caused too much pain for all of us to bear, and now it was his turn to feel it.

Suddenly I felt a strange wind sweep over me, engulfing my entire body and slipping into my brain. I closed my eyes, placing my hands over them ever though Riku was still standing in from of me. I felt strange and cried out for Riku to help me, but I heard no reply. When I opened my eyes, I didn't know where I was, but I was not alone. I was standing next to Sora, and Xemnas was before us, smiling wickedly as he drew his blades. I had never seen weapons like these before, and they reminded me strongly of something out of one of the 'STAR WARS' movies. I didn't know for sure, but I could tell that they could do some real damage if they caught me off-gaurd. There was no other choice, so Sora and I fought him, our keyblades moving almost as one as we fought him. He was a difficult opponent, one of the most difficult I had ever fough in all my adventures with Sora, but with Sora by my side and the knowledge that Riku was alive and safe in the Realm of Twilight, I felt I could do anything.

When it was finally over, when Sora and I had defeated him, Xemnas faded, leaving the two of us standing together in this strange place, unsure of what to do next. We were alone, no way to get back to the ones we cared about most, no way out of this place, no way back to where we had come from.

"Sora! Can you hear me? Sora!" We heard Kairi's voice screaming from somewhere far away from where we know were. Sora looked arond wildly, staring in the direction the voice had come from, rushing this way and that to find her, even though we both knew she wasn't here.

"Jessica, where are you? Come back, Jessica!" Riku's voice called from the place Kairi's had echoed from moments before. I looked around, feeling that familiar wind pick up again, blowing over me as I shut my eyes against it.

(End POV)

Riku and Kairi stood with their backs to where Sora and Jessica had jsut appeared on the ground behind them, not knowing the people they were yelling for in panic had returned to them. Sora groaned as they picked themselves off the ground, dusting themselves off slightly. Riku turned around at the sound, running over to Jessica to wrap her in his arms. She smiled into his shoulder. This was all either of them had ever wanted, all they had wanted was the other's love, and now they had it, exactly what they had wanted all their lives.

"Quit doing that to me, would you?" Riku whispered in Jessica's ear sending a chill down her spine. He pulled her closer to his chest, his head resting on top of her hers.

"I can't help it Riku, it's just how I do things." She laughed, pulling back to look up into his beautifully handsome face. "I missed you so much when you got locked behind the Door to Darkness. I thought I'd never see you again Riku."

"I made a promise to you, remember?" I swore to you I would protect you and never leave you especially when you needed me. I promised I would always be there for you." Riku said, kissing her forehead tenderly. "And I want to keep that too, if you'll let me."

"Of course I will. I love you and intend on keeping you around fro now on." Jessica said, resting her head back on Riku's shoulder. "And I'll never leave you again. I'll take care of you, I promise."

The door suddenly appeared before them, large and silver. This was it, they all knew it. This was the door that could change everything.

"That's the final door!" The King said loudly, pointing at it. "That's the door that will decide the fate of all the worlds. That door leads to our greats battle, one we must face together."


Okay it was way too short I know, but that's how it is sometimes. I needed to set everything up in this chapter. More soon to come, I swear!
