More Than Friends

Chapter 6. A Heartless Again

"What the heck?" Yuffie asked cocking her head.

"Hallow Bastion AGAIN? Why must they use OUR old home town?" Aerith sighed.

"This was your home town?" Cloud asked her.

Aerith nodded.

"That sucks. Life sucks sometimes." Cloud showed his true emo look.

Aerith nodded again.

"Apparently, they've built onto it." Leon said.

"Wow, you're right." Sora noticed.

"Ha, I barely remember considering I had a psycho path in my body..." Riku said.

"Yeah... he was a REALLY TOUGH psycho path..." Sora smirked.

"Okay, well let's go, guys!" Yuffie smiled.

"Yeah!" Everyone cheered and ran down a corridor.

KHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKH

----Back with Kairi and Rachel----

"Who ARE you people?" Cinderella asked the people in dark cloaks.

"The Greatest Evil Forces of All Time." The leader replied.

Princess Aurora rolled her eyes.

All 7 were tied up with magical bounded forces. Their bodies dangled from high up.

"So, you're Rachel?" Belle leaned over and asked.

Rachel nodded.

"Alice is kind of lucky to be out of the mess..." Kairi giggled.

The other princesses giggled slightly too.

"I wonder if Sora's okay..." Kairi looked down.

"Oh- the keyblade boy? He's okay now. But when he gets here it will be OVER for him." A cloaked figure said.

"Liar." Kairi hissed.

"Oh. I'm SHAKING!" The figure said again.

"Yeah, you are." She said with attitude.

"How DARE you defy me?" The cloaked figure took her heart just like that. Kairi was lost yet again.

"KAIRI!" All the princesses shouted.

"...Say goodbye for a while girls." Snow White said.

"Why?" Rachel asked.

Soon, all they're hearts were gone before Snow White could answer.

"You deserve it..." The cloaked man said.

"The keyblade boy will be here shortly...I can feel it." Another cloaked one said.

"Yes. We shall be ready." Said another.

There were 4 of them, the cloaked figures. One sounded like a woman and the rest were guys. All with great power.

KHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKH

----Back with Our Gang----

"There's so many of them!" Riku growled attacking a Heartless one after another.

"Ugh...I know!" Yuffie was chucking her spikey things at them with great speed and cartwheeling away. "Die you losers!"

"Yuffie! Whatch out!" Leon smashed a big one that was right behind her.

"Thanks...AH!" Yuffie flipped away from another. Throwing her thingie at it.(A/N: ANYONE KNOW WHAT HER FRIGGING WEAPONS ARE CALLED?? I'm just gonna call them Star Thingies)

Sora was killing more than any of them. His keyblade moved rythmically with speed, killing off the Heartless. Sora was running, too. He had to get back to Kairi. He just had to.

"Wait up, guys!" Aerith was lagging behind. Magic wasn't always a fast weapon.

"Sorry." Cloud grabbed her arm and dragged her towards everyone else.

"Where do we go, now?" Leon asked as they all looked around the Lift Stop.

"This way!" Sora pointed.

"How do YOU know?" Riku asked folding his arms.

"I have a hunch...c'mon!" Sora pleaded.

They agreed reluctantly. They knew how badly Sora wanted to find Kairi.

The group was now in a hidden room- a rock room none the less- by the keyhole spot.

Sora ran. He stopped abruptly. Everyone slowly aproached behind him.

Everyone saw. Kairi and Rachel, along with Belle, Jasmine, Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora. Hearts gone.

"We knew you'd be here." The leader of the cloaked figures said.

"Yeah, well who are you? Be specific." Sora demanded.

"It's me again, Ansem. Along with Sephiroth, Malifacent, and Dexious." Ansem said, the cloaked figures pulled they're hoods off.

"...DAD?" Cloud dropped his jaw.

(A/N: THIS WHOLE THING WITH HIS DAD- TOTALLY MADE UP LOL)

"Yes?" Dexious asked.

"Since when are YOU evil? I mean, you've always been a total BASTARD but this is LOW!" Cloud hissed.

"Th-this is your FATHER?" Aerith asked shocked.

"Yeah- a lousy dirtbag I'm gonna have to kill." Cloud growled.

"I'd like to see you try!" Dexious laughed.

"Oh. That's great. A loving father-son bonding." Sephiroth laughed.

"You think you're SO funny, Sephy?" Yuffie laughed.

"DON'T...CALL...ME...SEPHY!!!!!!!!!!" Sephiroth growled. He knocked Yuffie out with one hit.

"Yuffie!" Leon tried to help her. Magic and Potions weren't working.

"What's the purpose THIS time?" Sora asked Ansem.

"The doors are open again, Sora. We are back. We are stronger. We are invincible. Not even LIGHT can stop us." Ansem growled in reply.

"Don't be so sure about that." Sora threatened.

"They look pretty tough..." Riku mumbled to Sora.

"I'm not scared." Sora said.

Nothing would scare him if it was for Kairi.

Sora saw the Dark Keyblade. The one to open hearts, in Ansem's hand.

"Switch." Sora said.

"Switch what?" Ansem asked.

"We can switch keyblades." Sora glanced at Kairi.

"Gonna give up your heart for your little whore are you?" Ansem leaned on his key. (A/N: OOH HE CALLED KAIRI A WHOREE! NOW HE'S GONNA GET IT!!!)

Sora attacked. With a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY strong power.

"Aah!" Ansem lost his balance at the damage he got. Sora grabbed Ansem's keyblade.

"He totally deserved that." Aerith whispered to Cloud in a slightly humorous tone.

Leon had Yuffie by the opening of the door. "Aerith. Try something." Leon told her.

Aerith experimented with her magic on Yuffie. They didn't notice Sora.

Sora took the Dark Keyblade- instantly ready to unlock his own heart.

"You foolish child." Dexious said. Malifacent added, "I planned to get my revenge on you- but this is more interesting."

"SORA!" Riku yelled.

"What?" Sora leaned over his shoulder.

"Are you SURE you wanna do that?" He asked.

"I've done it before." Sora shrugged with a slight smile.

Riku just nodded. "If you're doing it- I'm doing it too- for Rachel." Riku said.

"..You're the one Rachel loves. Isn't it?" Aerith smiled wisely just as Yuffie was awakening. Aerith found a strong enough cure for Yuffie.

Yuffie shook her head and looked around. "What happ-" She noticed Sora with the keyblade in hand. His original keyblade lay on the ground.

"What are you...doing?" Yuffie asked kind of puzzled. She still sat on the ground.

"He's...being Sora." Leon replied shaking his head gravely.

Wait a minute... what will happen to Sora's keyblade if he turns to darkness...in that period of time the keyblade will have to go to another owner...and since Riku's going into darkness too...

The next thing everyone knew Sora had unlocked his own heart.

And the next thing to happen after that- was Riku unlocking his heart too.

"Let's see how long this lasts!" Ansem laughed evilly.

Kairi fluttered her eyes open, shouting almost instantly, "Sora! He didn't do it again did he?" Kairi asked looking around.

The group nodded mildly to her.

"Oh no!" Kairi used as much magic she could but she could not get through the magic-bearing force.

"Foolish girl!" Dexious chuckled.

"Shut up! You freaking stupid..." Kairi gasped noticing who the people were...except for Dexious.

"Wait- who the hell are you?" Kairi asked raising an eyebrow.

Rachel was baffled. "What happened?" She was waking up.

The others would soon, because Kairi awakened, and she was responsible for their hearts. Therefore, Riku didn't really have to do it.

"I AM DEXIOUS! Cloud's father. Though, he was just a mistake...he should have never existing in this universe." Dexious hissed.

Who says...OR THINKS that?? That's horrible! Aerith thought as she looked at Cloud's face.

"Where's your mother?" Aerith asked Cloud.

"DEAD! As she should be!" Dexious chimed in.

"Did you kill her?" Cloud asked. His eyes a scary color.

"Yes. I killed her and I don't regret it!" He replied with hate.

Suddenly, two black Heartless wondered in.

"AHA! You two!" Ansem shouted. He tossed them to the back wall and hoisted them in a magical force.

"YOU SHOULD BE THE DEAD ONE!" Cloud yelled threatningly to his father.

"Silence." Malifacent nodded.

"Sephiroth, release the girls." Ansem ordered.

"Yes." Sephiroth nodded and stepped forward. He made a motion with his arm and the princesses fell.

"AAH!" They all screamed as they fell to the ground.

"You two red heads. Come here." Ansem ordered to Kairi and Rachel.

"What do you want you old fart?" Rachel sighed and rolled her eyes at Ansem.

Ansem smirked. "Which one is which?" He asked the two.

"What?" Rachel looked puzzled.

"THEY ARE SORA AND RIKU!" Kairi yelled at Rachel.

"I- I don't understand." Rachel said a little hurt.

"Riku unlocked his heart for you- so apparently he likes you. Sora did the same for me. They are now Heartless. He wants us to figure out which one is Sora and which one is Riku... but I don't know how to..." Kairi felt a tear slide down her cheek.

"We have to try..." Rachel's voice broke and she wondered up to the Heartless.

The twitching, black, little shadows cocked their heads this way and that. As if saying, "Who am I?" "What am I doing here?"

Are all the Heartlesses we fought...I mean...were they PEOPLE? Were they friendly...? Are they just lost...? Rachel wondered as she glared up at the two.

Kairi walked up behind Rachel. Looking at the Heartless. She felt a deep feeling that she didn't know what it was. It was echoing inside her. Like, it was talking. She noticed she couldn't keep her eyes off one of the Heartless.

"That's Sora." Kairi pointed.

"That's Riku." Rachel pointed.

They pointed at the same time. At opposite Heartless. Now, they were sure they were right.

"Okay!" Sephiroth excidedly let the Heartless go. They fell to the ground.

"Sora?" Kairi asked kneeling down to the one she pointed at a moment ago.

She could have sworn she saw a quick black flash between them. But she must have just been tired.

The group was very quiet behind them. The princesses didn't talk either.

Kairi turned her head, Sora stood up in front of Rachel.

"What the heck?" Everyone (the good guys) mumbled amongst each other.

Rachel looked over at the other Heartless. "Riku?" He stood up to.

"???" Riku and Sora looked at each other and blinked.

Something didn't feel right to Kairi.

Kairi stepped back a moment. "I'm...confused."

"You chose the wrong ones! Ha! And you say you love them..." Malifacent laughed.

"That doesn't make any sense. The moment I said his name it didn't feel right!" Kairi defended.

"...We were Heartless...right? And...someone asked you to pick which one was which?" Sora raised his eyebrow.

"Yes but..." Kairi said walking toward him, a startled, confused, and utterly sad look was across her face.

"And you thought that was- but it was- uhh..." Sora pointed at Riku and then himself, not finishing his sentences.

"What just happened?" Rachel asked, constantly blinking.

"Does...Kairi like Riku and Rachel like Sora?" Yuffie asked, her eyebrow raised.

Dead silence. Everyone jumped when they heard Kairi's voice.

"OF COURSE NOT! I AM IN LOVE with Sora and. . ." Kairi blinked.

"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON? HOW COULD THEY TELL? RIKU AND SORA LOOKED EXACTLY ALIKE!!" Cloud said aggravated.

"...Rachel never actually SAID she liked Riku, right?" Yuffie asked curiously.

Big mistake. Everyone thought.

"WHAT?! NO! BUT..." Rachel was cut off by her own heart beat. Eyes were on her, she hated when people stared. They were staring at her from every direction. Eyes with envy, hate, confusion...all staring at her.

It caused her to spill. "BUT...I do..." She blushed.

Everyone started arguing with her except for Sora and Kairi who didn't want to say anything about it.

"WELL WHAT ABOUT KAIRI?" Rachel yelled in the middle of the arguing.

"What ABOUT me?" Kairi's heart stopped but he attitude stayed high.

"You chose Riku." Rachel said but she sounded so timid, probably because of the eyes again.

"Look, I don't know what happened but God knows I love Sora. I don't even care about saying it now, unlike when I was 14." She replied calmly.

"I would.." Kairi turned towards Sora and she had teary eyes. "Even if he didn't love me back."

"Enough with the soap opera!" Sephiroth rolled his eyes.

"W-where's the keyblades?" Sora exhaled sharply.

That's all he cares about! His STUPID keyblade. Kairi started to cry from her thoughts.

She turned them into words. "That's all you care about? Your STUPID keyblade???" Her eyes narrowed. There was anger in her voice. But she kept crying.

She felt her heart get broken in a matter of seconds. Tension covered the room.

"Wha-" Sora barely had time to look up when he heard a loud and terrible noise.

No one could gasp. No one could move. They only heard Ansem yell, "STOP WHINING!"

Kairi was hit with something. But what?

The next thing Sora knew...the keyblade was in his hand. But he didn't even care. He grabbed Kairi and motioned for everyone to run.

They did.

Including the princesses.

"What are we-?" Leon asked but they stopped and turned and went straight to the waterway.

"I take it we're making a plan, and healing everyone." Aerith noted.

"Bingo." Sora said.

He set Kairi down gently against a wall.

"I'll...wait! I have no more magic left from curing Yuffie! Oh, what do we do??" Aerith FLIPPED.

"Why did you have to be such a show off towards him, Yuffie? Why couldn't you have stayed put? Do you think everyone can baby you forever?" Aerith hissed, searching her pockets for an ether.

"What? But I didn't mean-" Yuffie was startled at Aerith.

"You never mean anything! Life isn't a video game that you can start over!!!" Aerith yelled. (A/N: How ironic!)

"It's not her fault." Leon told her.

"Actually, come to think of it- it is! If I wasn't trying to cure Yuffie I would have seen Sora and tried to stop him or AT LEAST Riku and none of this stupid buisness would have happened! Kairi wouldn't have cried and wouldn't have gotten hit and we'd all be okay!!!" Aerith yelled.

Cloud nodded. "She has a point."

"WHAT!? But I..." Yuffie started to cry.

"OH ENOUGH WITH THE TEARS! No one can let you go cuz you have a puppy face!" Aerith hissed.

"Aerith? You of all people! I was mad! He was messing with my friends!" Yuffie defended.

"NO!!! You were trying to crack a JOKE! A freaking JOKE!" Aerith replied, her face got more tense as she looked for an ether.

Yuffie opened her mouth to talk. No words came out. She ran away from all of them.

"I guess I'm going after her." Leon said, standing up.

"Nah just let her die." Aerith sighed with hate.

"Someone's PMSing." Leon smirked and ran off to find Yuffie.

"That was kind of lousy." Princess Jasmine added in.

"Oh...it was wasn't it? I'M JUST SO AGGRAVATED THAT I-" Aerith huffed.

"WAIT! I think I can give you magic power..." Rachel smiled.

"Oh...really?" Aerith asked.

"Yes!" Rachel closed her eyes as if to think. She swished her hand and Aerith received magic.

"Can a regular cure work??" Sora asked, hoepfully.

"...Maybe." Aerith said. She tried. "Nope..."

She did the same thing she did on Yuffie. A very strong cure power. Along with a high potion.

"That should do it..." Aerith crossed her fingers.

Kairi coughed.

"THANK GOD!" Everyone sighed.

"Kairi?" Sora looked at her and bit his lip.

"S-sora?" Kairi said, coughing again.

"Your Mom." Sora laughed.

Kairi smiled and then looked at everyone around her.

"It was a trick." She coughed again.

"What was?" Sora asked.

"One of them switched Sora and Riku around the second we picked. I could feel it." Kairi added.

"I could too! But I wasn't sure what..." Rachel said, with a half smile.

"THOSE IDIOTS!" Cloud growled. "ESPECIALLY MY DAD!"

Kairi hugged Sora. But coughed again.

"Are you okay?" He asked her, pulling away.

"Uh, yeah." Kairi lied.
