Chapter-19 A Purpose

Kairi stepped inside the room known as Ansem's Study and began searching around the room for clues. As everyone was out fighting the Heartless, Kairi decided she wanted to do something and instead of sitting with Cid and Merlin back at the house.

The reason she entered Ansem's room is because she wanted to learn more about herself. When she returned home to Destiny Island, Kairi began having memories about her living here at Radiant Garden/Hollow Bastion. Maybe finding clues here can help her remember whether she is from.

Inside the room were shelves with books stacked upon it, a medium-size brown desk and a picture of a young adult with sliver hair. Kairi went over to the picture, putting her hand on it as she examined the male in the portrait. "This must be fake Ansem that Sora told me about," she said to herself. "His real name is Xehnoart."

Then the red-haired teen made her way towards the stack of books that were on the shelves, she picked up one, and began reading it. As she read the book, she found out that this was a research book and it was written by the real Ansem; Ansem the Wise. It said that he wanted to learn more about the human heart.

She thought the book was interesting, so she grabbed another three more books, and sat them down onto of the brown desk, and began reading. The first book she read was a theory about the human hearts and how they react to emotions. Then the second book she read was about his experiments.

Then the finally book she picked up wasn't a research book, but instead a photo album. Their were pictures of Ansem the Wise either working on his project with his lab assistants, or photos with families and friends.

When she turned to the next page, she gasped in surprise as one photo caught her attention. It was a picture of herself at a young age, eating sea salt along with Ansem the Wise, who was holding her. Suddenly memories of her and Ansem crossed her mind.

Flashback

Ansem the Wise was in his office, sitting in his favorite chair and writing another note of his project in his book. As he was writing his notes, a soft knock on the outside interrupted his thoughts and he stopped momentarily and acknowledge the person to enter.

In came a young girl with short red-hair, wearing a pink dress and carrying her favorite doll that her mother made for her. He smiled when he saw his daughter walking up to his desk. "What can I do for little princess?"

"Daddy, everyone is busy and doesn't want to play with me and I'm bored. I've tried having a tea part with Ashley," she said referring to her doll. "but she doesn't want to either. So can you please come play with me?"

Ansem frowned and shook his head. "I'm sorry Kairi but I can't at the moment. I'm very bust myself. Perhaps some other time."

"But dad!" Kairi whined as her eyes started to get watery. "You're always locked in your room and never want to play with me or Ashley. All I want is to share sea-salt ice cream with my papa like all the other kids do with theirs."

Ansem sighed. He knew is daughter was right about him staying in office and never having time to play with her. All he wanted to do was keep his little princess happy and she wants is to spend quality time with him. Maybe a few hours with wouldn't hurt his project time. He got up from his seat and walked over to his crying daughter, and picking her up while he smile. "Come to think of it, I'm craving for some sea-salt ice cream."

"Yay!" Kairi hugged her father. "I want hundreds of sea-salt ice cream now!"

End Flashback

Happy tears swelled up in Kairi's eyes as she remembered that day. She held the picture close to her chest as more tears fell from her eyes. She missed her father very much. She wished she could see him again and share more ice cream with him before he sacrifice himself at The World That Never Was, preventing the Xemnas from capturing Kingdom Hearts.

"Kairi," A female voice spoke. The princess turned around and saw Aerith peeking her head in the room. "Are you alright Kairi? May I come in?"

She nodded and quickly wiped her tears when Aerith came in. "I'm fine Aerith, I'm just remembering things."

"Remembering what my dear?" The flower girl asked, putting her hand on the young girl's shoulder.

"I'm from here. I've remembered everything about this place. My father is Ansem the Wise a-and..." She cried once more while Aerith hugged her and rubbed her back.

"Shush, it's okay Kairi. I had a feeling that you'll suddenly remember everything."

Kairi glanced up at the older woman surprised. "Y-you knew?"

Aerith nodded. "I come here often to see what Ansem was researching about. When I saw this photo I knew it was you and that you are his daughter."

"Oh, I wish I can know more about him. Maybe looking at more photos will bring back more memories." Kairi turned the page and began looking through more photos with Aerith. As she looked at each picture, she began regaining back her memories from her time here at Radiant Garden.

"I wonder who this is," Aerith pointed out as she picked up large picture from the back of the book. "You think you can remember who she is?"

Kairi examined the picture that Aerith held in her hand. It was a picture of a girl that looked about 13 years old, with short blue hair and matching blue eyes. The princess furrowed her brows, concentrating on the picture to see if any memory of her will pop in her mind, however to no a veld, she shook her head. "I'm sorry but I don't remember anything about her." She then turned the picture around and saw blue written ink on it.

You may not know that I exist, but I am your daughter. I will not tell you my name but I will give you my mother's name, Ivory. You were her first lover right? She told me you were a good man, but things couldn't work out. You may think she told me about you when I was young, but she didn't; she just told me today, so I never knew you was until now. The reason she told me about you is because...my home The Land of Paradise will soon be attack by evil. She wants me to come stay with you, however I cannot do so. Why? Because I want to protect homeland. So, I'll be going to a place where warriors are train to fight the evil. Hope to get strong and protect my homeland even if I die doing so. This is the reason why I didn't give you my name...

PS: Please, if I fail to protect homeland or any other places, promise me you won't come looking for me...I wish not to be found...

Kairi finished reading the letter and blinked away the tears that were dying to flow from her eyes. "No I will not cry again." She shook her head and tightened her fist. "I want to fight...I want help everyone I care about!"

"Kairi-" Aerith was suddenly taken by surprise when Kairi held her hands and got on her knees.

"Please Aerith, I want you to help me. I want to help everyone. If my sister went to go train and fight evil so she can protect her homeland...so do I!"

The older smiled as she gave a nod. "Of course I'll help you Kairi. Perhaps I can teach you about healing the wounded and maybe Tifa can teach you Martial Arts."

"Really?" When Aerith replied with a nod, Kairi jumped to her feet and hugged the older woman. "Thank you, thank you, thank you," Kairi repeated over and over again.

Beast Castle/Ballroom

Cloud stood in front of the large door outside of the Ballroom. He knew Sora was inside castle and in this very spot. Taking a deep breath, the warrior pushed the large doors and walked inside the bright room. Standing at the other end of the hall was indeed Sora, as he was facing large window, staring at the backyard.

"Sora," Cloud called out his name, cautiously taking slow steps inside, proceeding to walk near the brunette. "Sora, you okay man?"

"..."

"Look, I don't want to fight yo-"

"...I know..."came Sora's low response. He slowly turned around, facing the blond swordsman. "I don't want to fight you either...but..."

You will fight him Sora.

I don't want too! Even if I do...you will not interfere!

You're getting weak...I don't like the sound of weakness!

"Sora!" Cloud called out to him again and Sora glanced up at the blond. "Don't let the him get to you. Fight him off! Prove that your stronger!"

"I CAN'T!!!!" Sora shouted loudly. Suddenly a surge of pain came from his right arm and he saw a marking forming on his arm. "No! Stop it!" Sora fell to his knees grabbing his hair and moving rapidly on the ground, as his skin color was turning black.

I'm taking over your body Sora! YOU SHOULD OF HAVE STUCK WITH THE PLAN!!! Anti-Sora laughed within.

Cloud watched horribly as his friend was transforming right before his eyes. His skin was pitch black, fangs grew within his mouth, his nails were becoming sharp claws and his eyes turned a deep gold. The transformation also affected the ballroom as it complete darkness.

When it was complete, Anti-Sora stood from all fours, and grinned evilly at the person before him. "Hi Cloud....it's nice to finally meet you in person!" He laughed evilly.

The blond warrior took out his First Tsurugi as he got into his fighting stance. He didn't want to fight Sora, but he didn't know he'll be fighting his dark side.

Okay look, chapter 19 was accidentally replaced by chapter 20 which cause me to have TWO chapter 20's. I thank the reviewer who pointed it out for me. I thank you again. So, I had two options, rewrite chapter 19 or delete chapter 19 and add it to chapter 18. So, I rewrote it. My story was ruin for like two hours. It got replace because ya know after I post it, I get reviews and some reviewers point out mistakes and I go back and edit it and repost it, so it can look better. Um...I was really freaking pissed when I found out and I was being careless and didn't watch where I replace the chapter. So here is chapter 19 again, YES it's different from the other 19 but just read it. For those who read the previous 19, don't worry it's still the same plot, just worded differently. Those that are new and read both chapter 20's don't worry here is the new chapter 19. Again I think the reviewer who pointed it out. I sent you a reply about it. So please REREAD chapter 19 again. The new version.

Peace I'm out.
