I'm back! Dramam club is over so I now have the time to update! The show went great and Im soon going to put a DVD recording of it on my youtube account if you guys are interested. Anyways, here is the new chapter! Hope you like it!

Darkness

The day started as usual. Everyone came to work, singed in, and went about their normal routine. They all went into the office to look at their patients charts and to-do lists for the morning. Soon, they would finish their morning routine and break for lunch. Afterwards, they would return to the office to get their updated charts for the afternoon routine. Once they were all done they would either leave or stay for the evening report. At the end of the day, the Asylum will be locked up and everyone will return home for their night slumber. Then wake up in the morning only to find; they have to do it all over again. Sometimes it's the same day, others it's different. Sometimes the patients are cooperative. They will eat when they are told to eat. They will take their meds when they are told to take their meds. They will sleep when they are told to sleep. They're like puppets on strings, obeying ever command they get from their master. Sometimes, they revolt. They while throw plates and food across the room in a rampage if they are told to eat. They will refuse and thrash out if they are told to take their meds. They will scream into the darkness; the black abyss…until their throat runs dry or until they're restrained when they are told to sleep. Insane will be sane…the sane will be insane…sometimes; it's the other way around. Pretty much everyone in the Asylum is insane to the employees. Pretty much everyone who is employees is insane to the patients. Every second, of ever minute, to every hour of every day…is more and more things to ask and question about. Where is my god? Why, when I have been so good…why would he throw me into this madness? Is there even a god? Every day religions are switched from one person to another. Every day, someone's faith is lost…Darkness wins…

Sora woke with a start. It was very dark in his cell, so dark that it took his eyes almost a half hour to adjust. Sora sat up and ruffled his hair. He remembered the night before, when Kairi visited him, how she brought him food and water, how she still trusted him, how she kissed him on the cheek. Sora lifted his hand and placed it on his cheek where Kairi's lips were the night before. A small, faint smile can across his lips. Sora stood up from his "bed" and walked around his small area. It's been weeks…he was going to go mad if he was in here much longer. He thought that if he just behaved, that the Nurses will reconsider his attitude and bring him back upstairs where he can have light, food, water…Kairi. But he's waited and waited. Will he ever get out of here? Sora walked over to his door and looked out the tiny bared window he had. He could barely see anything but he could make out as much as he need to. When Sora was daydreaming, a slight wind blew past him. Sora turned around feeling the breeze, wondering how there even could be a breeze in a place like this. However there was nothing, only darkness. All of a sudden a sharp pain hit him on the back of his head. Last thing he remembers is the blow, falling to his knees, body collapsing on the ground, and a tall shadowy-like figure standing above him. He could barely make out that white toothy grin in the darkness…clouded by yellow eyes.

Upstairs the day was running normal. Kairi was walking throughout the halls with Yuffie discussing the day's work.

"So, what is on your to-do list today Kairi?" Yuffie was bouncing up and down. How could she be so happy in a place like this?

"I just have to make a check-up on supplies. Honestly there's not much to do for me with Sora locked downstairs..." Kairi had a frown upon her face, missing being with Sora. She smiled though remembering last night.

Yuffie shook her head. "C'mon Kairi! I'm sure you can think of something. And if you can't, we can always go to the island together?" Kairi shook her head. She doesn't feel like going to the island, only because there's nothing to do there.

While they were walking down the hall the lights started to flicker.

Downstairs Sora was barely awake. A foot pushed him onto his back and pressed against his ribs. Sora let out a sharp gasp of pain. He grabbed the foot with both of his hands hoping to pry it off but it didn't work. He was helpless. The figure leaned down to Sora.

"I'm surprised that you've survived this long boy…I would have thought that you would have given into the Darkness by now. Such a shame, you would have been a great being." The dark figure grinned in satisfaction that the boy was in pain.

"Get off of me…" Sora could barely even speak. The figure must have known.

"Now now, don't waste your energy just yet. I need you to do something for me and you are going to do it. Whether you like it or not." The figure then shot his hands onto Sora's chest above his heart. Sora's eyes widened with fear.

Back upstairs, everyone was watching the lights flicker. Soon they went off permanently. They were all surrounded in darkness. Then they heard it…a blood curdling scream. But it didn't come from upstairs.

Kairi whipped around. "Sora?" In a flash Kairi darted for the basement. All the time, the screams from the boy continued. Before Kairi could even reach the stairs, one of the Nurses grabbed her.

"Please let go!" Tears were swelling up Kairi's eyes. She began to struggle.

"Kairi, don't you go down there. It's dangerous!"

"He needs me!" As time passed by, his screams sounded more and more painful. "Please, I need to see if he's okay!"

"You are restricted to see him! He'll hurt you; he's a dangerous boy Kairi!" Kairi was now sobbing.

"I don't care if you think that! He needs me!" Kairi started to struggle more and more violently every time the screams increased in volume and pain. Suddenly, Kairi elbowed the Nurse in the stomach making her let go of her. Kairi took the chance and bolted for it. She ran down the steps, tripping at times, and ran towards Sora's cell the moment her feet touched the flat surface. Behind her she could her footsteps running after her. When Kairi got to Sora's cell she grabbed the key from the basket with his folder in it and unlocked the first door. Then she manually unlocked the second door. By this time the Nurses and Doctors have finally caught up with her. They stood by her side when she opened the door to Sora's cell.

"Sora?" Kairi bolted in there only to find…nobody? The Doctors and Nurses ran past Kairi to also find nothing but Darkness. Kairi looked around for Sora, but couldn't find him. Tears ran down her face even more. The Nurses pulled out their radio and called in for an escaped patient. They all bolted out of the room to search for Sora leaving Kairi behind to stand in the darkness crying. She remembered the screams and cried heavily yet silently. She heard scrapping above her and looked up towards the ceiling. The noise sounded like something crawling across the ceiling, in fact something was when Kairi noticed yellow glowing eyes in the darkness. But as quick as they were there, they were going in a flash. The scraping continued instead this time, it sounded like it was crawling from wall to wall. Suddenly Kairi was pushed against the wall by a strong force. Kairi's head almost smashed against the wall but a hand was placed on the back of her head to prevent her instant injury. Kairi opened her eyes not even realizing she had shut them, only to see a dark figure in front of her. It looked very familiar. Then it hit Kairi like a brick wall…it was the creature from her dream.

"Sora?" The dark figure took its hand from behind her head and placed it on her cheek. It slowly yet gently started to caress her face. Kairi relaxed a bit knowing that it was Sora, however still knowing something was wrong with him. "Sora, are you alright?" Sora stared at her and slowly shook his head. He was shrouded in darkness with bright yellow eyes and a white toothy grin. This wasn't Sora…but then again it was. Sora tucked his head into the crook of Kairi's neck. Kairi could feel his lips brush up against her neck. She could have sworn he had kissed her neck. Sora's arms wrapped around Kairi's waist and since Kairi was held by Sora tightly she could only lift her hands to grab onto his torso.

"K-Kairi…It hurts…" Sora's voice was barely even audible.

"I've got you Sora. I'm not going to let go, I promise." Kairi whispered in his ear. Suddenly a nurse walked into the room with a tranquilizer gun from hearing voices. She saw the dark figure and jumped a bit accidently pulling the trigger. Kairi let out a sharp gasp of pain and Sora let go of Kairi to see a dart in her leg. Sora yanked it out and looked towards the Nurse angrily. He threw it at the Nurse and had it go straight into her neck. The Nurse fell to the floor unconscious. Sora turned his attention back to Kairi. She was in pain and her leg was falling asleep. Sora picked Kairi up bridal style and brought her upstairs and into his old cell room that thankfully, has not been taken yet. Everyone is gone searching for Sora so he just slipped by and shut the door with his foot. He gently placed Kairi on the bed and crawled in next to her. Kairi was still awake and could now see Sora clearly. He was indeed shrouded in darkness…just like the dream. She could still notice that he was the same Sora, except a little bit more violent. She wrapped her arms around his waist and cuddled into his chest. Sora covered them up with a blanket and wrapped his arms around her tightly. This Sora really wasn't any different from the normal Sora. There was a loud bang on the door and Sora looked over to see it fly open. Tifa and two male doctors came bursting in. Sora jumped out of the bed quickly and ran at one of the doctors angrily. He tried to slash the first one across the chest but the doctor dodged it. Tifa ran over to Kairi and pulled her out of the bed. Kairi pushed Tifa away and tried her best to run to Sora's side. In her attempt she fell to the floor smacking her body off of the ground. Sora stopped his antics when he heard Kairi fall. He pushed the Doctor away and ran over to Kairi. Sora kneeled by her side and lifter her up in his arms, cradling her like a fragile artifact. Kairi looked up towards Sora and grabbed onto his shirt attempting to pull herself up into a sitting position.

Kairi stared into his eyes and for a second, she saw a tint of blue in them but they went away. This IS the same Sora…except more dangerous. It's like an Anti version of him. An Anti-Sora…

Kairi was quickly yanked away from Sora by Tifa and Sora was yanked by the two doctors. Kairi was struggling more than Sora so one doctor ran over to help Tifa. The doctor yanked on Kairi's wrist making Kairi shout in pain. This pain fueled Sora's anger. Sora started to become more violent. He thrashed at the doctor holding him. When Sora got free he whipped around and snapped the doctor's neck. He jumped onto the other doctor driving his hands through his chest. Tifa let go of Kairi shocked. Sora whipped around and started to advance towards Tifa.

"Sora!" Sora turned around to see Kairi leaning up against the wall. "Don't…" Sora slowly looked back at Tifa. So frail, innocent, unguarded…

"Sora please, if you hurt her I'll leave your side for good." Kairi knew that with Anti-Sora you have to watch your words. Kairi was risking her chances now. Sora started to slowly advance towards Kairi yet Kairi stood her ground. Anti-Sora was only inches from Kairi's face now. So close; she could feel his breath on her face and his nose brushing against hers. Honestly, Kairi was scared but knew she had to protect Tifa plus, Sora wouldn't hurt her…would he?

"I mean it…" There it was. Right when she said that, a larger tint of blue appeared in Sora's eyes. "Sora, come back. I know that you feel weak right now, and I know that the Darkness is too strong for you…but for me come back."

Tifa was watching the whole situation unravel before her eyes. Although, Tifa didn't see an Anti-Sora…she saw a teenage boy, with yellow eyes…and black spiky hair…

Sora inched closer to Kairi. When he talked his lips brushed against hers. "Kai...ri…it's a lot harder…then you think…" His voice was being swallowed up by the darkness.

Kairi nodded. "I know."

Through the small window in the room, the moon was setting. Time had passed so quickly. Was it really a whole day already? When the moon was disappearing Sora was becoming harder and harder to see. He was fading away?

"Sora, what's happening?" Sora looked out towards the window to see the moonlight fading away. Sora moved his head to the side of Kairi's face and whispered in her ear.

"Night is full of darkness." Then he was gone. Kairi looked around for Sora but couldn't find him.

"It was him…" Kairi looked down at Tifa.

"Tifa, what are you talking about?"

"Sora…all along I was right…he was Vanitas." Kairi looked away from Tifa. Sure a couple of seconds ago Sora may have matched the description of Vanitas but that wasn't him. It was the darkness. Right then and there Kairi realized two things.

One; Sora isn't insane. He really WAS being chased by the darkness.

Two; He was now framed as Vanitas.

Kairi could only wish and hope that he will be careful…
