Even If You're In the Deepest Darkness, I'll Be Your Light(Digimon ver.)

The Heartless 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.

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

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

"Seal the Keyhole, right?" Sora asked

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

"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 said and walked out of the house, Kyaromon following him close behind.

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

"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." Riku said. I felt upset for some reason. I was Heartless. I wasn't suppose to feel anything. "You need a name, don't you?"

"Yes." I said. He looked at me.

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

"That's the name for my original name." I said.

"Huh?" Riku said, confused.

"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." I said. He smiled. Kyaromon jumped into my arms and nuzzled my cheek. "That tickles!"

"He likes you." Riku said. He took hold of my hand. We went into the secret underground cavern to see Sora and Kairi there. Sora's DemiVeemon and Kairi's Xiaomon, were near there respect Tamers.

"Sora, Kairi. This is Kage." Riku said. DemiVeemon and Xiaomon jumped up to me and nuzzled my cheek.

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

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

"Oh, your grandma's story, right?" Sora asked.

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

"How did you know about that Sora?" Riku asked.

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

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

"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."

"WHAT!?" Sora and Riku exclaimed.

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