"How long has it been since I had these dreams? Five...ten days? What do they all mean?" she asked herself. For countless nights she has been having dreams of the darkness and Organization XIII. Her first dream was one that everybody has. Walking in darkness. But, each dream got worse and worse. The next...she couldn't start to explain it because it was that horrible. She just sat there, for hours, staring up at the ceiling, wondering if she should go back to sleep.

Don't turn away
I pray you've heard
The words I've spoken

"I will go to sleep tonight...even if I have to have another dream about..." she fell asleep before she could even finish.

It was dark...maybe a little too dark for anybody to see, but there were two cloaked figures talking in the middle of the room. Talking about who knows what, Keyblade...Nobodies...Heartless...but there was on thing that could be heard clearly, Darkness. DtD, Door to Darkness. They kept talking about it as if they had known the exact location of it. But then they stopped talking when they turned and walked towards the young girl, lying on the ground.

"Are you sure this is the right princess?" one asked.

The clocked figure shook it head. "This is the one weakness of our young Keyblade Master. Unfortunately for him, he has no clue what we have in store for her."

As the two figures talked, the young girl started to stir. Her eyes fluttered as she slowly rose up. The taller one lifted her chin. "She has a frail body, are you sure she can handle this? Or will she just break like all the others?"

She just stared at the figure, wondering what might happen to her this time. The tall man took his hood off and revealed himself as Xemnas. She tried to speak but nothing came out. "Master Xemnas, why must you reveal who you are to this princess? Do you really think it's-

Xemnas put his hand in front of the young man's face. "She at least has to know my identity for her to cooperate with us." Her eyes widened. He bent down where their eyes met. "...Kairi, don't tell anyone of this meeting..."

Dare to believe
Over one last time
Then I'll let the

Kairi awoke to the sound of two boys yelling outside the window of her bedroom. She crawled out of bed and slowly made her way to the window to open it. "...Xemnas..." she heard in the distance. Kairi wanted to ignore the dream that night, not like it's as scary as the others, but she still wanted to forget Xemnas...and his plans to do with her and the young Keyblade Master.

"Kairi!" shouted the two boys. The silver-haired boy started to get impatient. "Kairi! WAKE UP!!"

She hurried up and opened the window before he got anymore mad at her. "Riku, Sora, I'm sorry! Go on ahead to the island; I'll catch up with you guys later!" She had wished she hadn't said that, knowing that someone...or something might try to kidnap her while going to the island. But the two boys nodded their head and ran off before she could say another word. Kairi started wandering around her room, trying to clean up a little. "I could have sworn that my room was clean before I went to be-" Then it dawned on her, the charm was gone. Her lucky charm, it was gone! She remembered when Sora returned it to her when he and Riku returned to the island. "But who could have stolen it?" she thought as she started to get dressed. In five minutes she kissed her mother good-bye, went into her boat, and headed towards the island.

"It was four years ago...when that storm came...it almost feels as though it was yesterday," she said to herself. Four years, a long time, but it was a short time for Kairi. She had her heart taken away from her, and yet, she did not turn into a heartless. Was it because of her being a princess of light, having no darkness in her heart...no, it was something else. Maybe it was because she desired the darkness, is that why? Kairi has always wondered that for a long time, but she decided to think about it later, for she finally arrived at the island.

Darkness cover me
Deny everything

The two boys came running towards her, panting when they finally reached her. "I won, and I made it to Kairi first!" Riku shouted.

Kairi was getting very angry at the two boys. "Am I just a finish line to them? A trophy!?" she thought as she ran towards the Secret Place, crying, but why? Riku and Sora didn't know what was going on so they decided to follow her. They slowed down, realizing that they might have upset their dear friend, how?

They went into the Secret Place, hearing Kairi crying. Sora went up to her and tried to comfort her. "Kairi, if there is anything that we did, please tell us."

She looked up at the two. "We don't like to see you upset, please, tell us."

Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own

Kairi remembered that she couldn't tell them, her friends. Why couldn't she? It was just a dream, so she could've told them, right? But then she remembered the promise that they made when they got back to the islands. "If something is wrong, but for some reason you can't tell anyone, just come up with a silly excuse, then we'll know what you're talking about." She decided since she's not actually talking about her dream, she could make it sound crazy...but maybe they don't remember...maybe they would just think she was crazy, but she had to risk it. She sighed. "...I've been having these weird dreams...GIANT SEA-SALT ICE CREAM BARS ATTACKING ME!! THEY SWOLLOWED ME UP AND NOW THEY ARE PLANNING TO DO SOMETHING TO ME AND TO YOU AND RIKU! MAYBE THEY WOULD TRY TO TURN ME INTO THEIR SEA-SALTY QUEEN AND MAKE ME ATTACK YOU GUYS!" Kairi hope they got the idea...from her crazy dream.

The two boys looked at her. "I think she finally lost it," they both thought. She knew that they didn't remember the promise, but then Riku's eye's widened. "So, are you allowed to tell us exactly what they are doing to you...or you not allowed to tell us?" Riku asked. She just shook her head. "How long have you had these dreams?"

"Five...ten days? I'm not really sure...BUT ICE CREAM GIVES ME BRAIN FEEZE! I DON'T WANNA GO WITH THEM!" Now she was being crazy. But she knew that at least one of them would get it, but she knew that Sora wouldn't get it for a long time, or be stupid and just blurt out what she really meant.

His eyes started to widen, he knew. But Riku signaled for him not to say anything stupid. "Kairi, just ignore what they say, it's not like ice-cream could ever...never mind...brain freezes really do hurt,” she started to shiver. They just all laughed at him.

Carry me away
I need your strength
To get me through this

They all talked for what seemed for hours about the 'ice cream' but they knew that they couldn't protect Kairi from it. "Kairi...you have disobeyed a direct order, do you know what might happen to you now?" said a voice from the distance that only Kairi could hear. She stood up as fast as she could and tried to figure out where the voice was coming from. "You must already know that it is useless, you can't deny the darkness." Kairi tried to cover her ears, but it was no use, she could still hear his voice. "Kairi, you look like a fool, and you're scaring your friends. You must be ashamed."

She turned to them, and he was right, they were terrified. "K-Kairi, what's the matter, did the ice cream-"

"Just shut up! They know, okay, they know! Xemnas knows..." she fell to the ground and covered her face. Riku and Sora tried to comfort her but she just pushed them away. "Xemnas...he knows...he knows..." she started rocking back and forth.

"But I thought we defeated Xemnas, how could he still be alive?" Riku asked. Kairi got up and ran to her boat.

Darkness cover me
Deny everything

She tried to row as fast as she could...but it was no use, there was nowhere she could run. He would still catch her. Sora and Riku stated to catch up to her, soon hopping on to her boat. "Sora...Riku...w-why?" They didn't say anything, they just kept hugging her. "But...Xemnas-

"We want to help you Kairi, no matter what, we are going to help you." Sora reassured her, she started to cry. "We won't let him go anywhere near you again...we promise."

The wind started to pick up and they all went back into their own boats and headed towards their house. "You know that is a lie Kairi...you know they will let get captured. You can't always bee protected. If you can't be captured, then you will eventually go with us willingly." Kairi started to believe his words. "He's right; no matter what Riku and Sora might do...I will still go with them." She looked up at the two; they just smiled at her with their goofy smiles.
