Dream

Killings

In this farewell
There's no blood
There's no alibi

"Darkness, surrounding me...I can't escape. What can I do...Sora...Riku...I'm sorry..."

Kairi, had yet another dream...but this dream, it wasn't like the others, no, it was worse. She had waken up in a white room, white...everything was white. In the corner there was Namine, drawing in her sketch book as she usually does, but it seems she didn't notice her. She stood up to see what Namine was drawing. Kairi, she was drawing Kairi...but what she saw didn't look like her. Instead she looked dark, almost evil. Behind her was Xemnas and everbody in the Organization...but one didn't look familiar, she had short blue hair, "Who could she be?" she asked herself. Namine continued to draw, next she drew a wasteland in the background, with Keybaldes. Kairi still wanted to know who the girl was.

`Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies

Namine turned and looked at Kairi, "...Aqua..." she said as she slowly disappeared. Then everything started to disappear around her, until she ended up in a crossroad of somesort. It looked just like Namine's background in the drawing. She looked around and she saw somebody walking towards her in the distance. It was that same girl she saw in the picture, "Aqua..." Kairi said.

Aqua walked up to her and gave her a pouch, "Kairi, you musn't go on with this, you will end up hurting...or even killing your friends." She was confused, what did she mean by killing her friends? She wouldn't do that...would she? Kairi tried to say something, but yet again, her voice was lost. And just like Namine, Aqua disapeared. She looked down at the pouch, wanting to open it, but she was afraid of what was inside. She just decided to put it in her pocket and forget about it. Kairi started to walk forward, trying to find a way out of the wasteland. She then saw two figures on the ground, she ran up to them and it was Sora and Riku.

"Sora...Riku! Wake up!" she shouted. She looked down at her hands, blood...they were bloody, from their blood. "Riku...Sora...please...get up!" she cried. It was no use, they were dead. She turned them over...only to see their faces in shock from whoever...or whatever killed them. She couldn't even tell if they were crying...or even mad or something...because their eyes had been cut out. On their forheads wrote, "You found us."

"You'll end up hurting...or even killing your friends..." Aqua had said to her. She reached in her pocket and pulled out the pouch. She wasn't sure if she should open it or not. A hand landed on her shoulder as tears came down her face, "Kairi, this is your punshment for disobeying me, you should accept it and come with me." She stood up and saw everbody from the Organization, even Aqua, but she just walked away. Kairi wiped her tears and grabbed Xemnas' hand. All of them disappeared into the darkness, leaving Sora and Riku rotting in the wasteland.

So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done

Kairi again awoke in her room, she was crying but she didn't even notice. She looked around the room, then she saw the pouch given to her by Aqua on her nightstand. She grabbed it and saw a note on it, "You may tell them of all your dreams, but once you tell them, they may never look at you the same way again. Oh, and you can open this pouch if you want...but, you may not like what's inside, so you might as well leave it unopened, until you are ready to see what's inside. Xemnas"

Kairi started to get dressed, put the pouch in her pocket and headed outside, hoping to find Riku and Sora still alive. "I may tell them my dreams, does that mean they're still alive?" she asked herself. She kept running as fast as she could to Sora's house, unaware that they were just behind her.

"Kairi! Wait up!" they both shouted. She turned around, relieved that they were still alive and she ran up to them, hugging them both. "Hey Kairi, you're not acting like yourself. Hey, come on, your sufficating us!" Sora shouted, trying to pull her off.

I'll face myself
To cross out what i've become

She started to cry, "You idiots, I missed you! I thought you were dead!" she started to pound on Sora's chest.

Riku grabbed her hand, "Dead, Kairi, what do you mean? Did you have another dream?" She shook her head. "Come on, let's go to the Secret Place and you can tell us there." And so they made their way to the island. Usually they talked while they rowed there since it took more than ten minutes to get there, but this time they didn't. They were afraid that if they said the wrong to her then she might burst into tears. They finally arrived at the island but they still didn't say anything, not until they were in the Secret Place. Once they arrived they automatically sat down, facing Kairi.

Kairi knew they wanted to hear all of her dreams, so she decided to pull out the pouch, "This was given to me last night...but I'm not sure if I shoud open it." They both read the note and looked at each other. "It seems like every night my dreams get more complicated...there was even a few nights where I didn't want to go to sleep...but I knew had to sleep. And last night...I saw you two dead...it was my punishment." She continued to tell them about her dream. Some she knew better than others.

Erase myself
And let go of what i've done

She was yet again being swallowed by the darkness. But it seems she was used to it, but it was only her second dream. Kairi reached out, hoping a hand would soon grab her, but it didn't. Instead she sank deeper into the darkness...but then she began to accept it. Slowly the darkness started to disapeared and Kairi woke up in a room that had a giant crystal in the middle. She got up and walked up to the dark cystal. She touched it and it purified. A cloaked figure stood behind her, "Do you like touching everything you see? Do you know what you just did you little wench?" he asked. She turned around in suprise and the man ran up to her, strangling her neck. ""Answer me, do you know what you just did?" She shook her head. He released her neck, making Kairi fall to the ground, gasping for breath. "Now, I want you to turn it back to it's original state."

Put to rest
What you thought of me

"What could he possibly mean by turning in back to it's original state?" she asked herself. She could tell that there was no way to get out of this so she decided it wouldn't hurt to try. Kairi stood up and turned to the crystal. "I guess it was tainted to begin with...but how can I taint something? I'm a princess, there is no darkness in my heart, right?" She touch the crystal and oddly enough, it turned black.

While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty

The man put his hand on her shoulder, "Good girl, Kairi. I didn't think it was possible for you to do it. Being a Princess of Hearts I thought it would be a difficult task for you, but it seems that you had no trouble with tainting that crysal."

"What is it for? Why did you have me taint it?"

He just laughed, "That crystal is similar to your heart. When it's tainted, you heart is filled with darkness. It's because you are slowly accepting the darkness. You must realize this by now princess," he said as he formed a dark ball of energy in his hand. "Kairi, I want you to feel the full power of darkness, and tell me how much you love the power." He took the energy ball and put it inside her, causing Kairi to fly across the room, hitting the wall hard. "Now how do you like the power?"

Kairi just sat there as her eyes started to darken.

So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done

Sora and Riku just looked at Kairi with confusion, like she was completely crazy. She knew that they didn't believe her, none of them took her seriously, but maybe this would be the time they didn't. It was kind of awkward for her, having them stare at her, eyes watching her, kinda creepy. It was silent for who knows how long, until Sora finally broke the silence, "Kairi...is this true? Or are you just making it-

"I don't think I would make up anything like that. But I do believe that Xemnas wants something from me...but I'm not sure what." Riku tossed the pouch to her and he sat next to her. She started to cry, "I'm afriad that I might hurt you guys...I just don't know what I will do without you."

I'll face myself
To cross out what i've become

"That is an easy question to answer, you'll just end up going with me, princess," Xemnas said so that everybody could hear him. "You desire the darkness, and I will give it to you, just open the pouch and you will see. It's not that hard." They all stood up, searching for the source of his voice. He laughed, "It's useless, I'm somewhere where nobody could reach me...nobody but Kairi that is. Only a person who has fully accepted the darkness can fi-

"SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!! KAIRI WILL NEVER GO WITH YOU! NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU BEG, SHE WON'T!" Riku shouted as loud as he could.

"Are you so sure about that?"

Kairi slowly backed away to the wall and fell to the ground. The two boys ran up to her to ask her what was wrong but she just ignored everything they said, "He's right...I might as well give up go with him right now...be-

"Kairi, how can you say that? You have never thought like this before, what's happening to you?" Sora asked.

Erase myself
And let go of what i've done

She looked up at him, she couldn't beleive those words just came out of her mouth. Those were words of quitters...but who was she kidding, it was all true, she would eventually go with Xemnas. No, she couldn't just give up that easily. "I...don't know. Last night when we were heading back to our house...he said that you wouldn't protect me. And if I were protected by you two, then I will willingly go with him. I'm afraid...I can't stand it anymore!"

They both started to hug her, "We will protect you. We will finally defeat Xemnas, if he comes back again then we'll do it over again. Kairi, you must not worry about him. Just..." A tear rolled down Riku's cheek, "...please don't give up."

She at least knew that was true. But, even if they did defeat him, it's like Riku said, he will come back...so did it even matter if they defeated him? No, she had to get rid of those thoughts in her head, and start thinking positive, like she did when they were litttle. "Thank you..."

For what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come

She stood up and started to walk outside, and the two followed her. They made their wasy to the Paupu Tree and sat on it, like they usually do. Nobody said anything...as if they could hear their thoughts...but that wasn't it. Riku and Sora were afraid, not afraid of saying the wrong thing, not afraid of Xemnas, but afaid of Kairi. What could possibly make them afraid of her? Her dreams, the darkness growing inside her, or the pouch? Whatever it was made them afraid...no terrified.

Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done!!!
