-Chapter 01-

Ansem was gone, and with him most of Kingdom Hearts. Only a small
fragment of it remained, and it was this tiny piece that the last
member of Organization XIII now focused on.

Sora got to his feet and saw Riku lying on the floor a few feet
away.

The apparently older man, though in truth Riku was about a month
younger than Sora, got to his feet. Golden eyes that had once been
bright turquoise scanned the area, looking for signs of trouble as
Riku got to his feet, staggering slightly.

"Are you okay?" Sora inquired.

Donald and Goofy also wore concerned expressions, as Kairi, who was
the closest to him, hurried over to Riku and helped him to stand.

"I'm fine," Riku told them, once he had steadied himself. He staggered
a bit when he stepped forward, again.

"You don't look too good," Goofy said, in concern. "Ya know, maybe you
ought to rest a little before we continue?"

"He's right," Sora agreed. "We can wait until you've rested up. Right,
Kairi? Donald?"

Both of them nodded in agreement. Besides letting Riku catch his
breath, both of them were in need of a moment to recover themselves as
well.

"Riku," Sora asked. "I don't mean to pry, but how old are you anyhow?
Your physical age I mean, not your true age?"

"Very old," Riku confided.

"According to what Ansem told me," King Mickey told them, "Even though
Xehanort was himself only thirty, his heartless had a body that were
it human, would have been that of an eighty year old man."

"Eighty?!" Sora was horrified. Assuming they ever got home, how would
he explain this to Riku's parents? He doubted that Riku's mother would
be pleased with her son's new look. Maturity was one thing, but
bypassing your entire life was something else altogether.

"Is everyone ready," King Mickey asked.

They all nodded in agreement.

Riku opened a dark gate back to his and Sora's hometown. It wavered as
it opened, and the King looked on him in concern.

"Riku," he said, solemnly. Then he stepped through.
