Authors Note: It's not a long chapter, but 12 will be. D I promise! But I just got fanfiction back on my computer, so I got it on here... everything is getting confusing in here too... let' see if you can piece it together!

Disclaimer: I do not own KH... now I am sad... hah.

Suddenly a sinking feeling filled Kairi's chest and she pictured Roxas's face in her mind. "I have to find him-"

Kairi charged out of the room Riku had her in, but was stopped when she realized she wasn't in Riku's house. The thought dawned over her and she turned around facing Riku, a look of terror on her face.

"This is Sora's house." She muttered.

"Yes. Yes it is." Riku stepped towards her, grabbing her arm, and laying a kiss on it.

Kairi watched as his mouth crept towards her, and she felt herself being pushed towards him. Their lips met in a powerful kiss, and Riku's lips didn't feel like his own. A glow followed his body as suddenly he wasn't standing there anymore… a younger looking boy was standing in his place. His floppy brown hair surrounded his childlike face, and a large grin was set across his lips as they parted.

Kairi's eyes widened and she pulled him into a tight embrace. "Sora, it's really you…"

----

Eyes swelling with tears, Kairi forced herself to back away from Sora for a moment, taking in the image of his cherubic face. He was still smiling at her, and Kairi didn't understand for a moment… why was he standing here? He wasn't dead… and this wasn't one of those visions she and Roxas had always had.

"Of course it's me Kairi, I mean, who else would it be?" Sora said, a slight chuckle in his voice.

"I don't understand… how are you alive?" She pressed her hands together and let them fall in front of her. "How could you come back?"

"Well, think about it for a minute. You wanted me alive, you turned down Roxas and tried to die…" Sora scratched his head and sat down in a nearby chair. "Roxas is fading Kairi. He's doing it for you, because he cares about you so much."

"Fading? Like… dying?" Sora looked away for a moment and she clasped her hands over her mouth. "He c-can't. I don't want to lose him!"

"All you kept saying was how much you wanted me back Kairi… why would you want something not even remotely real!?" Sora slammed his hand down on the arm of the chair. "I spend so many days alone Kairi… keeping myself attached to this world, for you."

Kairi had backed towards the door in Sora's rage, and attempted to turn the knob. "Attached here? So you stayed here because of me?"

Sora nodded lightly. "My love for you kept me here on the earth. I couldn't bear to leave you…" He stepped towards her and grabbed her arm. "And the first chance I felt doubt in Roxas, I knew I could take over his place."

Kairi tried to pull away from his grip but he held even tighter onto her and she yelped out in pain.

'Sora… what's become of you?' Kairi thought as tears poured down her cheeks. 'Where's the Sora I've always loved?'

"Sora stop!" Kairi yelled, finally breaking free of his grasp.

"But Kairi, I love you."

"You're not the same Sora I fell in love with." She rubbed her arm, a red spot appearing where his hand had grabbed her. "I love Roxas… and I'm sorry that I ever forced him away from me…"

"So me coming back to you was a complete and utter mistake?" Anger flared in his eyes and she stepped back in upmost terror.

"Roxas is nothing! I was a real live person Kairi, the first person to love you... the first person to save you... the first to kiss you-"

"No Sora." She pulled the door open and sighed. "I've made too many mistakes, and it's time i fix them."

----

'Kairi-- i'm so sorry,'

"Roxas!"

'I didn't deserve to love you... I guess i was meant to never exist at all-'

"Roxas please,"

'Who's there? Who can I hear through this darkness?'

Kairi watched as his crystallized eyes slowly fluttered open and he looked up at her a soft frown across his lips. He reached towards her fce and caressed her cheek lightly, but then turned away from her and let his hand fall.

"You came back... but i thought you wanted Sora?" He whispered.

"Naminé took my heart from me, and i didn't get it back until i had lost you," Tears began to roll down her cheeks. "I don't want to lose you. I can't be without you."

"Kairi," Roxas smiled and she smiled a little bit as well. "I'm fading. I can't survive much longer... so this is going to have to be our good bye."

"No! You can't make me say good bye! You can't! Roxas please don't!" Kairi started to shake and sob more and more until Roxas leaned up and pressed his lips soflty against hers. When they parted, Roxas smiled again, then his eyes began to shut and he fell backwards...

Time slowed as he fell back... and his lips slowly formed into two words... the last Kairi ever heard--

"Never Forget,"
