A/N: 8D HEY LOOKIE AN UPDATE! I just wanted to say that I'm gonna start posting more of the longer oneshots by themselves instead of in my oneshots collection. But about this one…I just happened to wonder "What if Sora had a bad dream?" The part with Xemnas came up immediately, but I had to have a happy set up. So FREE SOKAI FOR ALL! XD I bet the yaoi fans are either gonna flame me or ignore that part. If they read at all. But whatever. I'm so horrible so torturing Sora like this. TT And MAN this was a long note.
Disclaimer: Uh, no.
Nightmare
"Sora!"
He turned around to face her. She looked even more beautiful than before.
"Sora!"
She was running toward him, arms wide. He held out his own to embrace her.
"Sora!"
At the last moment, she tripped. He caught her, with the unexpected side effect of crashing their lips together. Neither seemed to mind, though; they just held each other tighter.
After what felt like a millisecond and an eternity, he sensed a familiar but hostile presence.
"How touching…" came a deep voice.
He recognized it before he whirled to see the speaker's face. Could it be?
Xemnas.
He turned back toward Kairi to tell her to run away, but she wasn't there. Panicking, he called her name again and again…
And then it began.
"Sora!"
He heard Kairi scream, but she was soon joined by his parents, Riku, Selphie, Tidus, Wakka…
"Sora! Sora!"
Suddenly every person he had ever met was crying for his help, and he couldn't do anything about it.
"Sora!"
He couldn't see any of them but they were all around him.
"Sora!"
Leon, Aerith, Yuffie…
He covered his ears and shut his eyes, trying to block out the sounds of terror and pain.
"Sora!"
Hayner, Pence, Olette…
But as quickly as they began, the screams stopped. He was left alone.
No, no alone. As he opened his eyes, he realized Xemnas was still there, only the false Ansem, Xehanort's Heartless, had joined him.
Both were smirking at him triumphantly, and it only took a moment to realize why.
"You! You did this!" He tried to move and summon his weapon, but it was as if he had been frozen in a block of ice.
When they saw his attempted struggle, his nearly identical enemies laughed. Dark, sinister laughter that chilled him to his core.
Suddenly, his vision began to blur. He closed his eyes gain, but this time when he opened them, there was only one person: the one who had really started it all…
It was Xehanort himself.
The laughter has never stopped, only changed and became more distorted until it matched the figure before him.
He could take it anymore. He had been ripped away from everything, and Xehanort was going to pay.
The man saw him trying to move from his invisible prison, but instead of laughing more, the white-haired scientist simply held out his hand.
And then Sora woke up.
Breathing hard and drenched in sweat, the boy checked his surroundings. He was in his own room, in his own bed. He and everyone else were safe.
Sora laid his head back on the pillow whispering quietly to himself…
"It was just a nightmare…just a nightmare…"
Sheesh. That was a crazy dream. 'Cept of course for the Sokai part. Anyway…yeah. I hate torturing him like this, but…IT WAS SO GOOD I REALLY WANTED TO WRITE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! TT
