AUTHORS NOTE: here it is my friends! all questions, well most will be answered!


Kasai could feel a cool air around her, not like the air dusty wind of the badlands. She looked around and all she could see was darkness. She was floating in nothing but darkness. Did she fail and this was her heart? She sighed as she floated. But just then there was a bright light, the darkness fled away from the light as it grew closer and closer to her. It surrounded her and warmed her. She looked where the light came from and there stood Ventus.

"Ven!" Kasai bolted from the floor she was laying on with wide eyes. Her heart was racing and her breaths were short. She looked around where she was and saw she was back in Yin Sid's room. She looked over and saw Mickey and Yin Sid looking at her.

"Kasai, you lost consciousness. Fortunately, Mickey found you, Ventus, and Aqua drifting in the Lanes Between, and brought you back to me to receive proper care. I am sorry, but there was no sign of Terra." They looked toward the window, and she followed their gaze. There lying was Ventus. Kasai clasped her hand over her mouth as she crawled over to his body.

She began to shake in body in fear that he was dead, "Ven? Ven?!" She was getting so scared!

"The boy's heart is sleeping," Yen Sid said trying to calm her.

Kasai stopped shaking Ventus and went to holding him close to her heart. Aqua turned to Yen Sid and Mickey, "When will he wake?"

Yen Sid shook his head with a frown, "I could not say. It is almost as though his heart has left. Should it return, he may very well wake. Should it not, then he may sleep like this for all eternity."

"I'll keep him safe-until he wakes. Forever if I have to!" Kasai said as she pulled him close to her.

Yen Sid looked to Aqua, she nodded as her and Mickey walked out of the room. "I will tell you what your friend needs right now. It is not your protection. He needs you to believe. You see, Ventus' heart hangs in the balance. Between light and dark, that place is your heart Kasai." Kasai looked at him in shock. "From all I can perceive, that meant he will be looking for a friend-one who believed in him, to show him the way home. Just as long as you love him...then Ventus will be able to find you when he wakes. He can follow that love back to where he belongs-the realm of light."

"But Master Yin Sid, how did he get into my heart?"

"Cause you were connected to his."

"I was?" She looked back at Ventus who stayed still as stone.

"When you first came here do you remember where you were?"

She though back, "I was standing on a stain glass floor, it was green and a picture of Ventus was on it."

"That was the station of his heart. In other words, when you came into this world, you were at his heart. When you died the first place you came was to his heart. Kasai you are part of Ventus." Kasai gasped, she cried, she smiled, she was all kinds of emotions! She had so many questions, how did this come to be? Why Ventus? "You and Ventus were connected from the birth of you and him. You see, when you were born, a man came and took the light from our heart as a small baby. He extracted the light and used it to make Ventus. But when he took the light, he also took some darkness with it, and that was where Vanitas was created from. That was why your heart was darkness, your light was extracted. But when you met Ventus, your light, it came back to you." The lights came on and it finally clicked for Kasai. That's why the voice said to find her light. He didn't mean figuratively, he meant it literally! Ventus was her light! "Now that he has defeated Vanitas, he resides back in your heart."

"So, I can return home?"

Yin Sid nodded his head slowly, "Yes you may return home, and probably never see this world again, or you can unlock his heart inside you and give it back to him."

She looked to Ventus and cried slightly, she knew that if she gave him his heart back she could never see her parents again. But if she went to her parents he may sleep for eternity. He sacrificed himself though so she could be with her family again. That was all he wanted was for her to be happy and where she belonged. She couldn't betray his dying wish. She had to see her parents again. She stood up letting Ventus' head fall to the side. "I want to go home." She said and with that Yin Sid opened up a portal of light.

"Go and you will find your family," he said.

Kasai nodded as she began to walk away. She stopped right at the front of the portal. She looked back at Ventus as he slept, but there was a smile on his face. She took a deep breath and walked into the portal. Suddenly she felt heavy, she felt hot! She was back in her house, but the fire was over. The heat she felt was the burnt ashes and embers around her. She could hear crying and the sound of gushing water. She opened her eyes slowly and a fire fighter ran over to her. His voice was blurred when he yelled, "We found her!" She was yanked from underneath the rubble and into the arms of a fire fighter. She was weak from the travel, but she saw her mother and father running beside the fireman. "Mom," Kasai said with a soft smile. Her mom put her hand over her mouth and cried softly.

Days later, Kasai was able to leave the hospital. She was healthy and with her family again. They were happy now. Both her and her family saw that dreams were good but this was the real world, and that was where she was to stay. Her life went back to normal, but when she went to school it seemed she was just glowing! Everyone flocked to her and befriended her. She made great new friends but kept her old ones. Her life was finally getting better! Later she got married and had kids of her own, which went to have grandkids. She told them all the stories of how she fought away darkness in a far off world called Kingdom Hearts! The kids loved her stories, every one of them. But then one dark night her husband passed away and she was all alone. She lived in the empty house by herself and she was indeed lonely.

Years passed by and Kasai was an old woman. She felt feeble, old and felt as if she was about to die. She went through her old drawings and saw the one of her keyblade! She thought it was burnt in the fire all those years ago! She felt it and she could remember all the adventures she had, they flashed through her mind as she closed her eyes. "Kasai," a soft and still voice said. She opened her eyes and looked around, no one was there. "Kasai." The voice spoke again, this time from her closet. "Kasai, come here!" The voice, it was childlike, full of life and light. She recognized the voice as she stood from her chair. She went to her closest, where the voice was coming from and she opened the door. There she saw a large stair case leading up into a white door. She took the first step and as she climbed with each step she was getting younger. Her old clothes were forming back to her clothes in Kingdom Hearts. Her hair which was grey was growing longer and turning brown. Her eyes which were a dull blue were glowing a bright blue again. As she climbed there stood Terra, Aqua, Mickey, Master Eraqus, Snow White and the dwarfs, Jaq and Cinderella, Aurora and her prince, Minnie, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Stitch, Hercules, Phil, Zack, Slightly, Cubby and Peter Pan. They all waved at her with a smile as she climbed the stairs. She reached the door and pushed it open. There in a chair sat Ventus with a smile on his face. "Welcome home my beloved Kasai."
