Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts. It belongs to Square-Enix. I do not own any of the songs used in this story.

A/N: Sorry it took me so long with this chapter, I've kinda been not in the mood to write anything at all. And I think I wasted all of my details on the first three chapters so this chapter won't have as much detail as the rest, sorry.

Throughout this story there will be several songs. In this chapter it's Whispers In The Dark by Skillet

Dream

Controlled

Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is just waiting
To turn your tears to roses

She stood in front of the door, afraid of what lied behind it. What was behind that door? Was this another trap…Heartless…Nobodies? She didn't really care; she's been in enough traps already. It's all because of him. She was about to push thee button to open the door but she was hesitant. “Maybe I shouldn't be doing this. What would happen if Sora and Riku found out?”

“And if they did? They won't be able to stop you, Princess.” Kairi jumped back in surprise but Xemnas just laughed. “A little jumpy today, aren't you?” Kairi was about to speak but nothing came out, instead, she just kept on staring at him. They said nothing for about five minutes until he broke the silence. “So are we going to just play the staring game or are we going into the room?”

Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is just waiting
To turn your tears to roses

Kairi snapped out of it, pressed the button, and entered the room, Xemnas following after her. In the room, there was only one chair in the middle and….what seemed like a suit of armor. “Xemnas…there is something I've been meaning to ask you…but…”

He went up to her and put his arms around her waist. “You can ask me anything, Princess.” Once he said that, tears started to flow down her cheek. “What's wrong, Princess?”

She pushed him away. “Please, just stop calling me a princess…”

Xemnas once again went up to her and put his arms around her waist and slowly started to kiss her neck. “Now why can't I call you Princess? You are a princess after all, it's only natural for me call you that,” he whispered in her ear as he started to nip it. “Now what is it you wanted to ask me?” She tilted head up and looked at him.

“I…”

I will be the one that's gonna hold you
I will be the one that you run to
My love is a burning, consuming fire

Sora and Riku stood at the spot the last saw Kairi, their eyes fixed on the pouch. Just thirty minutes ago, Kairi was taken away by their enemy, but it seems like it has been much longer than that. “Riku…do you think we should open this?”

Riku took the pouch from Sora and started to open it. Inside the pouch were two figurines, one of Kairi, Sora, and Riku sitting on a Paupu Tree and the other one was Xemnas having his arms around her waist, kissing her ear. “Broken….the one of us sitting on the tree…is broken.”

Sora noticed there was a small piece of paper stuck between the figurine of Xemnas and Kairi; he took it out and read it aloud. “Sora, Riku, do you like the little present I left for you? I had a feeling that Kairi wouldn't be opening this so I left this note especially for you. As you see before you are two figurines, one of you two and Kairi and one of Kairi and me. I know by the time you have read this, the one of you three together is broken, and that must mean the one of Kairi and me is in one piece, am I correct?"

No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars

"Those two figures in the pouch represent who Kairi really wants to be with at the moment, so I suggest you keep these safe. If, for some reason, cracks start to appear on our figurine, then that means Kairi is slowly coming back to you. If the figurine completely shatters….she no longer wants to be with me, same goes for the one of you three. Once it's whole, she might come back to you.”

The two boys tried to look for any cracks but there were none. “Sora, we have to go to Twilight Town. I think we'll find Kairi there.” Sora nodded his head as he followed Riku to Highwind, the gummi ship that King Mickey left for them.

Hear the whispers in the dark
No, you'll never be alone

Hayner, Pence, and Olette slowly started to get up after what had happened just moments ago. “What just happened?” Hayner asked.

Pence and Olette were still confused on what happened. Kairi was kidnapped again and they were unable to stop it. Kidnapped, was that really the right work for what took place. She did go into the darkness with Xemnas' apprentice but it was almost like she was doing it willingly. So, was kidnap even the right word? “Where do you think he took her?”

Hayner started to head towards the exit. “We can start by looking at the old mansion. She might be at the other Twilight Town.” He started to head to the Old Mansion as Pence and Olette followed him.

“Hayner, are you sure that Kairi will be in the other Twilight Town?” Pence asked.

He stopped in his tracks and turned to the two. “Where else can we look? Last time Kairi got kidnapped we didn't even try looking for her until three days after she was gone. So we should start looking for her as soon as….possible?” At the corner of his eye he saw Sora and Riku run towards Market Street: Tram Common.

“What's wrong?” Olette asked.

He ran after Sora and Riku. “You guys go on ahead to the mansion, I'll catch up!"

When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark

It seemed like she and Xemnas' apprentice were wandering aimlessly through the darkness. He wanted to ask Kairi something but he was too scared.. Was he scared of her? No, he was scared of what was growing inside of Kairi. Darkness, the power of darkness was growing more powerful as each second passed by slowly, probably more powerful than Xemnas.

He took a deep breath and decided to take a chance. "Kairi..."

"What is it, Ven?" she asked with both her and Xemnas' voice mixed together.

His eyes widened. "Has Xemnas succeeded in completely controlling her? Or maybe...no, that can't be it, not this soon."

She just started to laugh at him. "Ven, you shouldn't worry about stuff like that. I'm just taking precautions so she won't get scared and loose you in the realm of darkness. Besides, she would end up like your friend; I will be sure something like that will never happen again."

As she spoke those words, Ven started to feel uneasy around Kairi now. Since Xemnas was controlling her for the moment, he knew that he could tell what he was thinking.

"Aww, did I accidentally make you upset?"

Ven turned to her. "Xemnas, could I just take Kairi to the other Twilight Town for now?"

She looked at him suspiciously.

"Please, I just want to clear my head for a day or two. I'll drop her off with Roxas and the others. I-I'll watch her from the station tower. Please!"

He could tell from Kairi's expression that Xemnas wasn't completely safe with the idea of Kairi being in that town but agreed anyways. "Fine, but she comes back with me in three days, will that be enough to clear your head?"

Ven nodded and a portal opened up to the other Twilight Town.
