Even If You're In the Deepest Darkness, I'll Be Your Light

Kage

My Pov

We were now in a different world. I believe it was called Traverse Town. We went to a house where there was several people waiting. They seemed shocked to see me. Sora re-introduced me to Leon, Cid, Yuffie and Aerith.

Leon: "Tell me what happened." Sora explain everything that happened back in Hallow Bastion. "So the darkness is flowing out of that Keyhole..."

Aerith: "No wonder there are so more and more Heartless everywhere. The only way to stop them is-"

Sora: "Seal the Keyhole, right?"

Leon: "Maybe. But no one knows what will happen once it's sealed."

Riku: "Maybe. But I'm not just gonna wait here. This is my fault. I lost someone because I was blinded by dark. I own it to them to set things right." Riku walked out of the house.

Kairi: "Riku..." I followed after him. Something in me said to stay near Riku. I chased after him.

Riku: "You really must be Hikari's Heartless. When we were little, she'd follow me all the time. When we got older I found it annoying and yelled at her to stop. After that, she stopped hanging around me, Sora and Kairi for awhile. I never knew why until she told me. I remind her of someone she cared about a lot. She followed me because I helped keep the pain in her heart away. I felt bad and apologized. That's when I promised never to make her cry or feel sad again. Seems I broke that promise too many times." I felt upset for some reason. I was Heartless. I wasn't suppose to feel anything. "You need a name, don't you?"

Me: "Yes." He looked at me.

Riku: "How about Kage?" Kage meant Shadow. Shadow... That had been my previous name.

Me: "That's the name for my original name."

Riku: "Huh?"

Me: "I use to be a Pureblood Shadow Heartless. But Hikari unknowingly sent a piece of herself into me and purified me. She made me her Heartless. So, Kage suit me perfectly. Thank you, Riku." He smiled and took hold of my hand. We went into the secret underground cavern to see Sora and Kairi there.

Riku: "Sora, Kairi. This is Kage."

Sora: "So, you have your new name." I noticed Kairi staring at a mural that was a wall.

Kairi: "A light at the end of the tunnel..."

Sora: "Oh, your grandma's story, right?"

Kairi: "That's right. We were together."

Riku: "How did you know about that Sora?"

Sora: "While Kairi's heart was inside me, I saw a vision of her grandma telling the story to Kairi and Hikari."

Riku: "Is Hallow Bastion Hikari's home, too?"

Kairi: "No. Something happened to her world and she came to live with me and my grandma the year before we both ended up on the islands." She seemed to think about something. "Now I remember!" We all looked at her. "You know how everyone always said me and Hikari did have some resemblance to each other?" The boys nodded. "I know why now. Hikari and I are cousins."

Riku & Sora: "WHAT!?"

Me: "That's right. Hikari and Kairi are related on Hikari's mother's side. Her mother and Kairi's father are brother and sister."

Riku: "Well, that solved that question. Now what?"

Sora: "We're finally together. Well, in a way anyhow." I frowned little. "Don't worry Kage. Well, find your heart and Hikari will be back with us again."
