This is pretty short...
Riku's POV
I summoned Souleater, and swung it in an arc towards Xemnas. Xemnas hissed and curled his fist. Suddenly, a roar came from behind me. I turned around and stared in shock at the huge bat-like Heartless.
"Attack, Bat."
I jumped out of the way when the bat dove towards me, its jaw gaping wide. When it turned to attack me again, I opened its flank with a slice from Souleater.
It screamed, its blood oozing out in a black rain. When it screamed again and lunged, it missed my shoulder by about three inches. I took advantage of my positing and rammed the Heartless with the Keyblade, but the Heartless dodged it.
It snapped at me, and I hissed in pain as its teeth sank into my arm. I slashed at it again, and gaped as the cut healed in seconds.
"What the heck?!" I screamed, slicing him again and again, and having him healing again and again.
I distantly heard Xemnas laugh.
"Give it up, boy. That Heartless is directly linked to me. If he's injured, he gets some of my strength."
I smiled. He had just given me an idea.
I dove underneath the Heartless and struck it through where the heart would be, rupturing the empty void.
It shrieked, so loud and high pitched that I covered my ears in pain.
It dissolved.
I stood up as the Heartless's black blood dripped off of me.
Xemnas stood shakily on the riverbank, his face pale and twitching.
"Goodbye Xemnas." I said savagely, and I drove my Keyblade through his chest.
He also dissolved in a flurry of black ash.
I splashed lake water on my face, cleaning off the blood.
I walked over to Namine's body, and held her hand.
I had won the fight against a murderous sorcerer and his pet, but I had lost Namine.
She was dead, and nothing was going to bring her back.
A tear fell from my face onto one of her eyelids.
"Come back, Namine." I said softly.

Namine's POV
I was almost at the bottom of a black void when something called me back. I wasn't sure what it was, but it sounded a bit like…
As the air around me lightened, I smiled.
"Riku."
Riku's POV
I watched in disbelief as Namine shifted slightly, and opened her eyes.
"Namine!"
Her eyes flickered open, and she smiled sleepily.
"Riku…you called me back."
She tried to sit up, and I put a hand on her chest and pressed her back down.
"You just were nearly dead. Don't get up yet." I said firmly. She groaned.
"I think that Xemnas's death ended any spells…" She said. Suddenly she froze. "He is dead, right?"
I nodded.
She stroked a strand of my hair.
"Let's go home, Namine." I said, picking her up.
