Kairi

"Give up, little missy. We wouldn't want to accidentally hurt you know, now would we? I mean, I need you in my big plans I have in mind. Now, how about you give up, instead of fighting? I mean, currently, you are down with one guardian," Xehanort tried to persuade Kairi.

Kairi was standing there in front of Xehanort; tired but still full of spirit. She was cut all over her body, with some pieces of her clothes cut as well, from the attacks of the Heartless and Nobodies that she had defeated.

Confused of what Xehanort had said, she replied, "What? What do you mean by 'being down with a guardian'?"

Xehanort, sounding amused, replied, "Why don't you take a look for yourself?"

Xehanort waved his hand towards the multiple rows of Heartless and Nobodies. As he waved, the multiple rows of Heartless and Nobodies split apart.

Kairi looked in the direction to see what Xehanort was talking about. It was hard to see it, but she was able to see a body that was laid down helplessly on the ground. She wasn't able to distinguish who or what the body was, until she saw the hair of the motionless body. There was no mistake in that the spikey, wild brunet hair was Sora's. Kairi's heart seemed to drop five flights of stairs when she came to the realization of what she had just seen.

"Sora…" she said softly.

Xehanort smirked diabolically.

Kairi started walking.

"Sora?" Kairi questioned, as tears started to come out of her eyes.

Xehanort waved his hand in the air again with annoyance, and the Heartless and Nobodies began to cut off the view of Sora lying on the ground.

Finally, Kairi couldn't take it and with a yell she called out to him, "SORA!"

She tried to run to Sora but the path was blocked by the Heartless and Nobodies. She stopped and she knew that she couldn't get to Sora like this.

"What did you do to Sora?" Kairi barked at Xehanort with tears in her eyes.

"All I did was made him unconscious. Depending on what happens next, that will dictate the next set of actions," Xehanort said with warning in his voice.

"What do you want?" Kairi questioned Xehanort.

"Hmmm, you are an intelligent little girl. All I want is to take your heart. In exchange, I will spare the little hero of Light," Xehanort replied, "All I need to do to is to connect my Keyblade to the center of your chest and that is all. I shall retrieve your heart, spare the hero, and retreat with the other members. So what do you say?"

Kairi thought about it for a moment, she had a hard time thinking about losing Sora like this and everything that everybody else had worked for would've been in vain if she didn't do what he said. Kairi closed her eyes in distress. Then she opened her eyes, as she had made her choice.

"Fine. Take it. As long as you do as you said you would," Kairi responded.

Xehanort grinned sinisterly, "Well of course, even though I am one of the 13 seekers of Darkness; I am a man of my word."

Xehanort had materialized his Keyblade. "Now be prepared. It won't hurt a bit. As a matter of fact, it'll feel like going to sleep. Heh Heh heh."

Kairi closed her eyes as she was ready to accept her fate, waiting for the Keyblade to penetrate her heart. She heard a sudden motion-like sound, and she flinched, expecting to feel the Keyblade.

Kairi opened her eyes. Her face and her heart melted as she saw a body with a black short-sleeved shirt cut up. The body also was wearing big, black, funny-looking shoes with yellow stripes, and a black, torn-up saggy pair of pants that reached all the way down to his shins. But, out of most of all, he had dark brown, spikey, wild hair. Kairi would recognize that hair anywhere. As she looked at the body with realization, time slowed down to a crawling pace. Tenths of a second turned into seconds as seconds turned into minutes. Kairi didn't want to believe it. She went into straight denial, until she heard a voice into her head.

"Kairi, as long as you are safe then I am happy… We will meet again, I swear."

She gasped as she heard that. Tears came rolling down her face and her heart ached.

"SORA!" She screamed out in the last second before a sudden flash of bright light had pushed her back.

As she was pushed back, she had to cover her eyes from the intense light. Then, all of a sudden the light started to dim, before it faded and morphed into a dark black gooey substance, almost like tar. Then the substance began to encase Sora as if it was a prison. And for what seemed like the longest minute, there was nothing else that happened.

"Well this was an interesting change of events, but no matter—," Xehanort said in an amused and sarcastic tone, but was interrupted by the sudden event that had happened.

As the substance began to harden into a sphere, it began to chip. The chiping transformed into a crack and the crack broke into a circle under the pressure that came from the unexpected bright light. Then the light completely smashed the dark substance, which was shaken off of the sphere of Light that had protected Sora.

"Ugh!" Xehanort shouted in disbelief, "Impossible! My darkness is absolute!"

The light had started to dim down and lowered Sora as it began to vanish. As soon as it vanished, all that Kairi could see was a tired Sora on the ground. Even the Heartless and Nobodies that surrounded them had perished from the intensity of the light that was emitted from Sora's body. Kairi began to walk towards Sora's body, and examined it. She was afraid that he was dead from the impact of what had happened. But the fear in her heart vanished when she realized that Sora was still breathing.

"Hmmm. It seems that I had underestimated the boy after all. Oh well, I do not think he is in any condition to fight though," Xehanort had said with his analyzation skills, "But now, Kairi, your heart belongs to me!"

Xehanort had rematerialized his Keyblade as he stared at Kairi with sinister attempt.

Kairi was still paralyzed from the shocking events that had happened in the last few moments. She couldn't move; she was too stunned to try to dodge the incoming attack from Xehanort.

When Xehanort's attack nearly hit his target, Sora sprang to life out of nowhere, and parried Xenanort's lunge. He redirected the attack to the ground within a matter of seconds. Kairi noticed that Sora's Kingdom Keyblade , after pinning Xehanort's Keyblade to the ground, had transformed into the legendary Oathkeeper Keyblade.

Pinning Xehanort's Keyblade to the ground with Oathkeeper, he then shifted his body weight to Oathkeeper and used the momentum he had gained to launch himself at Xehanort's body. The attack was successful, and Sora's feet had hit Xehanort square in his chest. Sora then pushed himself off of Xenanort's body and did a backflip to land back on the ground on his feet. As he landed on his feet, he called forth Oathkeeper on his left hand and on his right hand he immediately materialized Oblivion. At once, he stood on guard, waiting for Xehanort's next move.

Kairi stared at Sora in disbelief and happiness at the same time. But she also noticed that something was off about Sora. The way he held the Keyblades was different and Sora was using a comepletely different stance that she had never seen him use before, even when she had been watching him train. Oh, she loved the way his body looked when she watched him train, especially when he was training with his shirt off. The way his biceps looked from swinging his Keyblade all day; they looked hard and firm. Kairi began to notice how her whole face was turning red, and she shook it off before anyone could notice.

"Stay away from her!" Sora said in a threatening tone.

"Curse you, boy! How dare you do that to me! I shall—," Xehanort unexpectedly stopped in his tracks and started to back off.

With an amused face, he continued off, "Fine boy, you win. I shall retreat for now."

Xehanort whistled loudly and all of the 13 seekers of Darkness showed up all at once. There were six faces that Kairi had recognized and seven others that were covered by their Organization XIII hoods. Xehanort then raised his hand and a huge corridor of Darkness opened up for all of them to go through. One by one, the members of Organization XIII went through the tunnel until Xehanort was left all alone.

"Ah, hero of Light, I abide you farewell. I know that we will see each other again," Xehanort said with satisfaction in his tone and then the portal closed.

Sora sighed with relief, "Oh boy, that was a close one, don't you think—,"

Sora turned around, noticing that Kairi was crying.

"Hey? Are you alright, Kai—,"

And before Sora knew it, Kairi's face was in front of his with her lips locked with his.

(A/N: This chapter had stumped me a little bit, between the thoughts of how I wanted to start this chapter and how I wanted to end this chapter as well. I lost the direction of this chapter a little bit, but I finally got it done and surprisingly conveyed what my mind had wanted to create.

I want to thank the two followers of this story, who have good expectations of this story. Even though, it was one chapter, I didn't know if that chapter alone was enough to catch someone's attention. I'm glad to be proven wrong.

This my first ever story and reviews would be welcomed on how you, as the reader, think about the story so far.

One final thing, I want to give a huge thank you to WishingDreamer5 for Beta reading the last two chapters and giving me the encouragement to create this story.)
