"We're going to see him. Your brother."

"Again."

"There they are. Kairi and Namine." Riku told Skye. Both were in their disguises as Ansem and Vani, the Masked Girl.

"If I had a heart, this is where I die of laughter." Spoke one of the members of Organization XIII, Saix. Riku and Skye quickly dispatched the Nobodies behind the high-ranking Nobody, catching his attention.

"You…" Saix growled, "Didn't Roxas take care of you? And who is that beside you?"

"You can take it from here, Riku, Skye." spoke Namine.

"Riku?!" Kairi was surprised, but she didn't seem to recognize Skye's name. Riku had his keyblade disappear, shooting at Saix with a burst of darkness, starting a small one-sided fight that ended with Saix running away through a Corridor of Darkness. Riku moved to follow, but was stopped by Kairi's addressing him. Pluto ran to him and began to 'push' Riku away from the Corridor. Riku had no choice but to listen to Kairi. Kairi sounded happy as she lifted Riku's hood, showing the face of Xehanort's Heartless.

"Sora! Sora, it's really you!" Exclaimed Kairi once she saw Sora. Skye heard her brother call back to the redhead, but then suddenly a gasp and Kairi telling something to leave Sora alone. Kairi then moved to help Sora, but was soon overtaken by the Heartless, which is where Riku came in to save her. Riku gave Kairi a keyblade and the Princess of Heart swore to fight. Skye walked to Riku's side, Void Gear out. Once she arrived, Riku readied his own keyblade and the two of Darkness entered the fight.

Soon, the battle ended with Sora, Donald, and Goofy arriving.

"Kairi, you were great!" Praised Donald. Kairi smiled at them, before she and Sora walked toward each other.

"You are different, Kairi." Sora said, "But I'm just glad you're here!"

"You and Riku never came home, so I came looking for you." Kairi said.

"I'm sorry." Sora apologized. Kairi suddenly hugged him.

"This is real…" Kairi mumbled. Sora hugged her back. Riku then created a Corridor of Darkness for him and Skye to exit through.

"Wait, Ansem! Masked Girl!" Sora suddenly addressed them, "I mean… Xehanort's Heartless... I'd never thought for a second that I'd ever see you again. Just thinking about what you two have done makes me really mad. But… But you guys saved Kairi, right? I have to be grateful for that. Thanks."

Skye took Riku's hand as they continued leaving. Kairi suddenly ran up and took Riku's other hand, stopping them.

"Riku, don't go!" Kairi protested. Sora, Donald, and Goofy gasped.

"Huh?" Goofy wondered.

"Kairi, what did you just say?" Sora asked. Kairi looked toward him.

"Riku." she said.

"I'm no one - Just a castaway from the darkness." Riku said. Skye frowned from under her mask.

"Sora, come here. Say something to him." Kairi said. Sora walked over.

Kairi took Sora's hand with her other hand, "Here. You'll understand." She then placed their hands so they were on top of the other, then told Sora to close his eyes.

"If you want your identity hidden, take your hand away." Vanitas suddenly spoke up. Skye wretched her hand away just as Sora closed his eyes.

"Riku…" Skye watched as her brother fell to his knees, "It's Riku… Riku's here...I looked for you!" Sora was crying.

"C'mon, Sora. You've gotta pull it together." Riku said, finally using his real voice.

"I looked EVERYWHERE for you!" Sora cried.

"I didn't want you to find me." Riku said. Goofy and Donald talked about Riku helping them in the background. Sora let go of Riku's hand and stood.

"I was starting to worry that you'd never catch on. Sora never did pick the brightest friends." Riku joked.

"What do you mean by that?!" Donald asked.

"Why didn't you let me know you were okay?" Sora questioned.

"I told you. I didn't want to be found. Not like this… I couldn't. I fought with Ansem… With Xehanort's Heartless- when it invaded my heart, and I won. But to use the power of darkness, I had to become Ansem myself." Riku explained.
"Does that mean… You won't be able to change back?" Kairi asked.

"This battle isn't over. And until it is, I still need the power of darkness." Riku replied.

"Then… let's finish it." Sora said, "You're still Riku, no matter what!"

Kairi smiled. Sora turned to Donald and Goofy.

"So how 'bout it? Ready for one last rumble together?" Sora asked, "The King's waiting!"

"Yeah! Let's get goin'!" Donald replied.

I'm happy, Big Brother… For you, at least. Skye smiled behind her mask. Only Riku knew who she was, and Sora didn't seem interested. Kairi didn't even remember, despite hearing her name.

I'll fight with you this time.

Yeah, I'm skipping a bit...

I'd like to finish the KH 2 arc so I can get to my original content.
