Xemnas was no easy match for Riku. He barely managed to stay on his feet and dodge multiple attacks from the red laser things Xemnas had. As much as I wanted to help Riku, I knew that it was his fight and his fight alone.

Every vampire, along with Roxas, Diz, and I watched the battle. It seemed to be moving no where. Riku had a disadvantage that could cost him the fight. He had only one way to fight from a distance and that was magic. After trying a couple flames and lightning bolts, he realized it wasn't doing hardly any damage to Xemnas. This meant Riku would have to fight with his sword and that was going to be hard. If he got to near, he could have his head removed in a split second.

I noticed that Axel had made his way to Roxas (the vampire one) and started checking him over. The other Roxas noticed that this was his other self's boyfriend and looked at him in disgust. And Riku thought I was funny.

The battle wore on for ages as I could tell the energy from Riku was getting weaker. If Riku lost, it would mean death for him. Now that I think about it though, there are many things worse than death.

I could see sweat drip down Riku's face as he continued to try and get closer. It was hopeless, but Riku did not back down.

Then Xemnas cheated during the battle that almost gave Riku no reason to fight. He threw a laser thing directly at me. Were it not for my quick reflexes, I would floating around in the darkness waiting to either find the light or die.

I pulled out my blade and blocked the attack. That was actually a foolish move for Xemnas to do, but a clear break for Riku. This caused Riku to have just enough time to slash Mr. Mansex in the shoulder, making him unable to use as many lasers. Unfortunately for Riku, though, Xemnas had a clear opening of Riku's stomach. He stabbed one of the lasers right through Riku's stomach. This made tears come to my eyes. He's injured and I couldn't do one thing about it.

Riku fell on his back and grabbed his abdomen in pain as blood seeped through his hands. Things had to end, and things had to end now. Xemnas had cheated, why couldn't I?

As I was about to run out in the ring, I felt a hand hold me back. I turned to see it was Saix who had his hand on my shoulder.

"If Riku is to win, he must do it on his own. Interfere and that could make things worse."

I sighed as I relaxed and stayed where I was. It looked as if Saix wanted him to win. Now that I look at it, everyone's faces told me that they wanted Riku to win. Apparently, no one liked Xemnas. Well his name did spell Mansex for Pete's sake.

I fell straight on my butt as I heard a voice yell at Riku right beside my ear.

"Riku! Get off your sorry ass and fight! Remember what I said? If you have a dream, don't wait. Act. Start fighting for what you believe in! You can win!" Axel yelled. I didn't even hear him come up behind me.

Riku looked at Axel and took in a big breath of air as other vampires started cheering him on. This took Xemnas back and he looked at all of us with his yellow eyes. He was not expecting for everyone to be cheering for Riku.

"When I get done with him, you guys are next!" he yelled. As if that did anything. Others, including me, continued to yell for Riku to win. They walked around in circles until Riku's back was facing towards me.

Everything that happened next, went by in a blur. Xemnas had Riku exactly where he wanted him. He knew Riku would dodge the laser when he threw it at full speed. There was only one problem, Riku didn't count on. It was that I was standing right behind him a couple feet away.

The red laser pierced straight through my chest. I could feel it barely miss my heart, but that doesn't mean that it was a lethal hit. Riku heard me cry out in pain and he turned around. Moron! You don't turn around like that in a middle of a fight! If Roxas hadn't have blocked Xemnas's laser, Riku would have been dead and speaking of dead! Here I go again. Deja vu all over again. I felt the blood come up through my mouth. I couldn't even talk. I could barely take in air.

I felt Diz and the straight Roxas crowd around me. Roxas lifted my head and put it on his lap as Diz unzipped my cloak to see what he could do with the wound. If he was going to do something, he was going to have to do it soon.

As I laid there, I could still hear the fight going on. Demyx walked over and became the commentator for me since I couldn't see.

"Well, congratulations Sora. You have officially made every vampire in here angry at Xemnas for fighting unfair. We may be vampires, but we always follow rules. It's part of our blood. I hope you know it's thirteen against one. I'd make fourteen, but I'd rather hang back and commentate on what's going on.

All I could do was nod. This fight better end fast or I'll never get to tell Riku bye. I wasn't planning on being reincarnated again. I just wanted to die because the pain was so bad and Riku had won the fight. I didn't need Demyx to tell me that. It was obvious.

Demyx finally announced that Xemnas was dead. They destroyed his body with Axel's flames and then I expected most to leave. I was wrong.

I could see, through an opening between Diz and Roxas, that everyone had bowed down to Riku. He looked surprised but ran over to me and looked at me. All I had strength to do was smile up at him as I coughed. Blood covered my cheek and I felt Riku wipe it off, but something had replaced the splatter of blood.

Tears. Tears fell from Riku's eyes on to me as he grabbed my hand. I had no strength to squeeze back, but I knew he knew that I would have done it. Behind Riku I could see that all the vampires were standing and their heads were bowed.

Riku. No. Master Riku did not get his wish, but he did become the Head Vampire and for that I am proud of him. What could I say? Absolutly nothing to be honest with you.

I used my eyes and told Riku for one last good-bye kiss. He must have understood, because he bent down and gave me the greatest kiss in the world as I exhaled my last breath of air.

(Third POV)

Riku stood with his cloak on as the rain continued to fall. He was glad that it was raining because it covered his tears that was constantly streaming down his face. The small wooden coffin lay before him holding the body of the one he had loved. He understood why Saix had said fall in love with no one. Only pain can come out of it, but this pain was different. It came from something within.

He looked over to see Sora's mother on her knees, looking at the coffin with tears also in her eyes.

"Why!? Why did that drunk driver hit him? Why was it my baby?!"

Riku remembered everything as if it was a movie slowly playing through his head. After Riku gave Sora his last kiss, he felt the heartbeat stop and the blood stop. He knew that Sora wasn't coming back this time. Saix had somehow manipulated people into thinking he was the doctor who pronounced him dead. The coffin was to be nailed shut before the visitation so that way people wouldn't suspect anything. Sora's face should have been ruined in a bloody mess, but the truth was, his face was still perfectly fine. It was just paler than before. It had no life in it anymore.

Riku looked around and saw that every one of the vampires in the area were there. Kairi, who was crying herself into a puddle, was also there standing beside Sora's mom. Riku pitied her. Yuna now had both of her most closest family taken away from her. Though he had to admit, it was his own fault. If he wouldn't have dodged the laser, Sora wouldn't have been hit.

The funeral finally ended and the only ones left by nightfall were the vampires. Riku stayed by Sora's grave and never tore his eyes from it.

He stood there and watched the grave as he ordered the others to go. Alone he reminded Sora of the time they had together and that they would one day be reunited. Who would have thought they would be reunited two hundred years later...
