Dark Panic

Disclaimer-If I owned KH or the Darkness, This would be a game not simply a story. And the 3rd one would come out for the 360 too.

Lucky, lucky boy,

You saved the world,

You're the master of the keyblade,

You have the power,

And you're going to pay the price.

Sora was woken abruptly by Kairi. Too abruptly.

"Wha? Who's there? What's happening?" Sora yawned as he got up from his bed.

"Wake up, you lazy bum. It's already one in the afternoon," Kairi playfully demanded.

"Aw come on! Can't a hero get some rest?" Sora yawned. Then he noticed something. "Wait, how did you get in here? My house, I mean. Didn't I lock the door?" Sora lived alone, so he wouldn't be surprised if he forgot to lock them.

"Yeah, sorry, the doors were unlocked and," If Sora would have been more awake, he would have seen her blush, "well, I miss you. And also," she said, this time being serious, "It's been two whole weeks since the adventure. Besides, you already wasted half the day sleeping."

She was right. It has been two weeks since he and Riku came back for the darkness. Two whole weeks; not nearly enough time to recover from an adventure that lasted over a year and a half. Granted, most of that time was spent, ironically, sleeping, but the adventure was still more than his young body could handle. Sora has been shot at, bitten, clawed, among other things, and healing potions only sped up the healing process, leaving huge scars across his body. He hid them well; either by just keeping his shirt on when swimming or using makes up to cover them. He didn't want Kaire to know what he has been through, that he has been to hell and back again, just to kind her and Riku. Or so he thought. Riku, of course, knows what kind of punishment Sora has been through, and Sora, of course, knows what it is like to go into darkness, just as Riku had. They both hid the real knowledge from Kaire, so that she didn't need worry to much about them.

She would soon find out.

Kairi left Sora's room so he could change out of Pjs. Sora didn't bother wearing his old outfit again; it was dirty, ripped and smelly from his adventures. Instead, he put on a deep velvet red pair of swim-trunks (with many buckles and zippers, mind you) with little yellow crowns on the edges and a plain black shirt, along with yellow sandals and trademark crown necklace. . Perfect attire for another day on the beach.

The two teenagers made their way the canoes that would take them to their little "private" island. The water was perfectly crystal clear, and there wasn't a cloud in the gorgeous sapphire blue sky. The ocean smelled of salt and sand, and seagulls chirped and squawked, as if bidding them to go the island. Kaire was the first one to notice the birds call, and hopped into her canoe. But Sora did not.

"What's the matter?" Kairi asked.

Sora paused, as if in deep thought. He finally took notice of Kairi's question, and a shook his head to say that everything was all right. "Huh? Oh, uh, nothing…just uh…where's Riku??" Though that is what he said, it was not he was thinking. He knew that Riku was at a surfing competition at Pen-gu Island. (Long story, but a talking little bird on a whale with a whole bunch of other surfers saw Riku surfing, and invited him to go to some competition with them. Of course, Riku said yes, and went got his things to leave immediately. The only reason Sora-who is also an adept surfer- didn't go was be cause he over-slept, much to his annoyance-wow, that was a big out of place story in parenthesis--sorry )But it was what he heard, or felt, actually. A demonic voice whispered in his head-the voice of raw evil.

Time is ticking for you.

Darkness will fall.

The Light cannot even help you now.

YOU WILL FADE

As all Light does.

"He's doing that stupid contest, remember? Are you all right Sora? You look a little pale,"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I guess I just dazed out for a second," They both smiled at each other, Sora nervously scratching his head, his entire hand gone underneath his long shaggy hair.

They made it to the island easily enough, and simply walked along the beaches together. It was just them two, and to Kairi, it was a dream come true. They spent most the time just walking and swimming around the island, talking about their experiences within the past year, trying to make up the time they didn't spend with each other from last year. At the end of the day, they both just lied on the sand, soaking up the last rays of the fading sun's heat.

Kairi moved closer to Sora. Any other time, it would have been awkward for him, but today, it felt so natural. Sora thought that he was getting different emotions for Kairi, ever since she hugged him at The World That Never Was. It appears that their separation made their bond stronger. Was it love? Sora decided yes, and that he would protect her and stay with for all his life. In fact, he broke the silence, and said it.

"You know that I'll always protect you, and be with you, right?"

She smiled. "Yeah, I know," then, in almost a whisper, she said "I love you…"

The two teens were blushing madly. Sora put his head up. "Ha! I love you two Kairi! Ever since when I learned that you were kidnapped, I had these feelings for you," Kairi moved closer to him, and before he could say any more, Kairi kissed him gently on the lips. It was nothing fancy (being it was their first kiss and all) but it had the desired effect. They both Smiled at each other and much to Kairi's surprise, Sora kissed her on the cheek. "What? Couldn't let you have all the fun." Sora said playfully.

They started walking back to their canoes, fearful that the sun might go down before they could get to the main island. "You know, it kind of feels like we have known that we loved each other for a long time, but just didn't know it." said Kairi.

"Yeah, I think it's because we have," Sora laughed.

The made it to the main island just before dark, and Sora walked Kairi to her house. "Good night. See you tomorrow?" Sora asked.

"See you tomorrow. Right," Kairi smiled.

"Be sure to wake me up!" Sora yelled as he headed towards his own house.

"Alright!" Kairi replied. Sora looked backed at the young girl that he could now call his "girl friend". It would be the last time he would see her in a while……

Sorry for the slow beginning. It's gonna get interesting soon. And bloodier. Yeah, not nearly enough blood in this chapter. But maybe the next.

I tried to make Sora's new outfit more Mickey Mouse like, and also threw in a SURFS UP thing in there too. And for the people who don't know what The Darkness is, just go to wikipedia. Lost of juicy, cool info about Jackie and what not. Or instead of reading it, why not play it on Ps3 or 360(real cool game )

Well, I'll try to update before Sunday, if not, well, just wait another week and I'll write it(going to Florida for a week) I already have the story in my head, so I shouldn't take long to update.

And reviews would be nice. Maybe 5 would be good, but if not, I'll keep writing. Flames, helpful hints, and praises, I want it all! don't hold back!
