A/N: Well Here It Is. Chapter Six. Some shocking thing's here. I almost cried writing It.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts Two or the characters... I own the plot and a pack of gum. That's about it. Wait. Exclude the gum.
Warning: Blood. Lot's of it. Be prepared. You have been warned.
"Roxas what will we do?" Kairi whispered.
Roxas looked down at Kairi and spoke softly, "Run."
As Kairi ran inches away from him she turned and watched as two Keyblades appeared in Roxas's hands. He charged at the heartless and began slaying them all as quickly as he could.
"Oh my god." Kairi felt a larger rumble and saw a large familiar heartless appear before Roxas.
It's claws were long and sharp and still stained with blood and the scent of rotting flesh filled the air as Roxas stared up at it. He smiled as the large beast stared down at him and he looked over at Kairi.
"I'm going to send you straight into hell, you freaking murderous beast." And with that Roxas charged straight at the heartless, not even hearing Kairi's cries.
--My Sanctuary--
"ROXAS!" Kairi screamed as he brought the Keyblades down upon the heartless's head.
It jumped back and brought it claws downward into Roxas's chest, but he jumped backwards and dodged it. Pulling the two Keyblades together he charged again, but this time shot flames out of the blades. Pushing back, the heartless pointed it's horns to the sky and bolts of lightning shot onto the ground. Roxas headed towards Kairi and used the Keyblades to make a shield around her.
"Roxas, how can you defeat that thing? Sora couldn't even-" She coughed and let tears spill down her cheeks. "He couldn't even do it!"
Roxas looked back at her and grinned. "I'm not Sora."
Lightning was still hitting the ground as Roxas charged at the heartless once more. It stood on it's hind legs and stared down at him, then opened it's mouth and spoke.
"Damn persistent Nobody!" It yelled as it stared down at Roxas.
"It spoke?" Roxas cocked his head to the side in confusion. "Who are you?"
"I a mere heartless. Unnamed without a true identity. Unlike you Roxas… You were a lucky one, born of a Nobody-"
"But I'm not supposed to exist. Heartless exist regardless. They are and ever shall be. Nobodies are an entity shrouded in mystery that no one will ever understand," Roxas paused and felt warm tears sting his eyes. "I was a lucky one. When Sora died I was released out into his world. I met Kairi and I fell in love."
"You cannot feel emotions! Let alone love!" The heartless bellowed. "Nor can I."
"Why did you kill Sora?" Roxas demanded, pointing his Keyblades upward.
"Because, I needed to get rid of the Keyblade master so that heartless could once again rein. I didn't realize his Nobody would come into existence and try to destroy me."
"Roxas, please kill it. Please, Roxas," Kairi whispered.
Her hands were clasped overtop of her head in fear and her body was tense. Tears were still pouring out of her puffy eyes and stifled cries were being held back in her throat. Kairi was an emotional wreck.
"Ah, the girl who was with him when he died. How touching. Here she is with a new lover, whom is going to befall the same fate!" Roxas held back a yelp as a large claw dug deep into his back.
He was thrown across the beach and tumbled onto the sands, where his blood stained the sands lightly. He sat up and stared down at the red sand, then clenched his teeth. Roxas attempted to stand but his strength was slowly disappearing. His blood was flowing from his wound and onto his swim trunks as well as the beach beneath him.
"Roxas!" Kairi managed to scream.
She watched in horror as he looked over at her. Blood was everywhere, within his ruffled blonde hair, across his smooth face, and smeared across his tight chest. When he tried to stand again, Kairi ran over to him and grabbed his arm. She pulled him up with all of her strength but all he could do was stand there.
"Come on Roxas! We have to finish this!" She wrapped her arms around his chest and felt his warm blood fall onto her body. "I love you. I don't want to lose you."
Roxas stared down at her, his eyes shining with the wetness of tears. He kissed her cheek softly and spoke in a hushed whisper in her ear.
"I love you too. I promise I'm going to protect you." He stepped away from her and picked up his Keyblades.
Mustering all his strength, he charged at the heartless again and this time it was brining it's teeth down into him. Roxas jumped backwards and jabbed the Keyblades into it forehead. As he did, a golden light emitted from it and shot throughout it, soon blowing it into pieces. A large heart floated above it and blew apart into tiny ones, that flew up into the sky and disappeared.
Roxas dropped to his knees, gasping for air and Kairi ran over to him.
"See? I told you I would protect you-" Kairi put a soft warm finger to his bloody lips.
"Save your strength."
"Kairi, I don't know if I am going to live through this wound… So if I don't-" He pulled something out of his pocket and smiled.
A hint of silver caught Kairi's eye and she gasped.
"I was going to propose to you, here on the island. We didn't have to get married now, but in a few years I wanted too." He smiled and pushed the ring into her hand. "So take it anyway."
Kairi leaned down to his lips and they kissed, then Roxas closed his eyes and slumped downward.
"Roxas." Kairi clenched her teeth. "Roxas," She tightened her fist with the ring within it and felt more hot tears fall on her face. "ROXAS!"
