Yours and mine..."

The waves lightly brushed against my feet as the tide slowly rolled in on the Destiny Island shores. It was another beautiful day in the life. It's been about two years since we defeated Xemnas, and Organization XIII. And since then there haven't been many heartless or nobodies causing trouble. So life has been perfect, that is, of course until my leisurely nap was interrupted by Riku dropping a fish on my face.
"AH! RIKU WHAT THE HECK?!"
"Aw come on Sora, I thought you liked fish!" he bended over in laughter, "maybe if it was Kairi you'd like it even more!" I wasn't going to let him get away with this one.
"I'm going to kill you!" I say. By instinct my right arm shoots out next to me and my Kingdom Key flashes into my hand. I haven't had to touch this thing in a few months. Not since me and Riku's last dispute. I leisurely hold it at my side point lightly brushing the waves. Riku notices the notion and quits laughing so he can stand up straight
"So that's how it's going to be ah? Fine by me." he shoots his right arm out, and way to the dawn comes flashes out of the light and darkness. I've always wished my keyblades could appear like that. He takes up his fighting stance. "Are you sure about this Sora? You know what happened last time." yeah I know what happened last time we tied, almost killing each other in the process, but I don't care. I let a smirk cross my face. In response I envelope my Kingdom Key in dark energy to transform it into Oblivion. Riku gives me a quick smile as I take up my fighting stance.
We stand there for a few seconds but it feels like hours, our hair blowing lightly in the salty ocean wind. Riku's form quickly distorts itself, I knew instantly what he was doing; he was going to teleport behind me.
"Idiot." I mouth to myself as I whip around and slash at the newly appeared Riku behind me and knick his leg. He lands on one knee I take the opportunity "Lightning!" I barked pointing Oblivion at him. The tip flashed and lightning cracked down from the sky, causing a giant dust cloud to whip up. Kairi and the others were probably alerted by now that we've gotten into another fight but I don't care. As the dust cleared there was no sign of Riku!
He teleported! I try to quickly whip around but it's too late. "To slow!" he yelled as he bats me to the side with the flat of his blade. I start fly a few good feet, it gives him an opportunity. He leaps and points his left palm out at me and with a quick "RAAAAGH!" releases a torrent of dark missiles at me. I stare at the incoming magic knowing there was nothing I could do.
I close my eyes waiting for the explosive impact but there was none I opened my eyes and suddenly I was about ten feet behind Riku! I just teleported! I have no idea how I just did that, I've never been able to do it, and whenever Riku does it he has to stand still. I will have more time to figure out how I did that later but for now I have to finish this. Riku was turning his head right and left trying to find me; he hasn't realized what I've done... Yet. Here's my golden moment. "YOU LOSE RIKU!" I shouted across the beach that separated us he quickly whips around mouth dropped wondering how I did it but he quickly regains his composure
"NO!" he yells and starts to run towards me. I close my eyes and focus, to tap into the power that has lain dormant within me for the past few years. My eyes quickly snap open, with a smirk I yell "DRIVE ACTIVATE!" And in a flash of silvery light I transformed in to the silver armor of Final Form, floating about an inch and a half from the ground, Oathkeeper now floating inches from my left hand. Riku quickly stops his eyes widen, he has realized his mistake. He left me alone to long, long enough for me to transform. But my time is limited so I must be quick, or I shall lose my golden opportunity! With a smirk I charge at him.
I go to slice him with both of my blades but he was too fast he blocked it. We stood there locked each one pushing to try and gain some ground. I had a brilliant idea. I quickly put one blade on each side of Riku's, and twisted causing him to drop the blade I quickly use oblivion to bat him up into the air. I grab his blade in my right hand and allow the other two to float next to my left hand. Riku flipped in the air and landed on his feet, when he saw me holding his weapon his eyes widened, he knew he was done for, unless, of course he could get his dark weapon from my grasp. I leap back about five feet with some of the Drive forms power running through my veins. This has been the first time in a long while where I felt truly alive! I charged at him Oblivion and Oathkeeper swirling behind my back Way to the Dawn in my right hand, digging a small trench in the sand as I ran, or rather floated quickly over to Riku.
I was about five feet from him, but then it felt like I ran into an invisible brick wall, which I did. I look around and there is a field of energy around me. It had an orangeish tint with flower patterns all over it. I knew instantly who it was that made it. I looked over at the waterfall to see Kairi standing there, her hair seeming to float from the magic energy surrounding her. Her flower blade was pointed at the intermediate space between us, the tip of her blade pointing at the intermediate space between us, the tip enveloped in orange light. She was mad, her eyes seemed to glow with the fire of her anger, and to make things worse I felt Oathkeeper disappear. My time in Final form was up the silver armor disappeared in a flash of silver light and sparkling mist.
"ARE YOU TWO INSANE?" she yelled. "YOU COULD HAVE KILLED YOURSELVES! AND FOR WHAT SOME PETTY ARGUMENT? WHAT IF THE ORGANIZATION RETURNS, OR THE HEARTLESS? THEN WHO WOULD STOP THEM?"
Me and Riku look sheepishly at each other as we realized what we've done I give a small smirk to Riku that said "follow my lead."
"Well you know Kairi we aren't the only people with keyblades here." I say with a smirk, Riku quickly catches on
"yeah from your demonstration right now," he gestures with his arms to the flower force fields still surrounding us. "I think you would be able to stop any darkness that tries to come back." he replies with a grin
"I wouldn't be so sarcastic if I were you two" she replied with a smirk" I could easily cause them to explode right now" we hold up our hands in defense
"now, now Kairi," I replied. "No need to be so violent" I reply nervously "say, where are Donald and Goofy?"
"Oh they left about an hour ago the king wanted to see them" she said allowing her keyblade to disappear into a cloud of light and flowers. Thankfully the force fields disappeared along with it. I let Oblivion disappear into a cloud of dark energy and tossed Way to the Dawn at Riku which he catches, as soon as he made contact it disappeared into a cloud of light and darkness.
"Did they say what he wanted?" I asked
"No she replied with a frown. She gracefully dismounted from her perch and ran over to us "but they took the Gummy Ship."
"Ah, did they say when they would be back?"
"Nope."
"Well then," I say with a smirk "who's up for some swimming?" but in my head I was thinking anything to see Kairi in a swimsuit!
"Sure" Kairi says with a grin "how about you Riku you going to join us?"
"Nah, maybe later," He said allowing Way to the Dawn to flash into his hand. "My little bout with Sora made me realize something," he said with a grin. "That I'm really out of shape and if the darkness comes back neither of us are at the strength we were at before we fought Xemnas and we will need it. So I'm going to start training for that day, because I have a feeling that the day will be soon. Now before I practice and everything I want to speak with Sora for a moment."
"Okay," I reply I look over at Kairi "Go get ready I'll be done quickly and plus," I get a quick grin "It takes you forever to get ready anyways."
"Does not!" She said and ran off to get ready and probably be quick about it so she can prove me wrong. I walk over to Riku "so what do you want?" he puts his other hand on my shoulder and looks into my eyes. "I'm not going to force it today but you need to train to just in case and it won't be the world's we will be fighting for next time it will be Kairi as well."
I stared at him awestruck. "How do you know?"
"That," he said "I cannot tell you yet. But I'm asking you as a friend to please just trust me. Okay?"
"Okay, can I go now?"
"Yea just one more thing if you could trust me again, ask Kairi out, today. I know you have wanted to do it by the papou tree. Will you do that for me?"
I was blushing furiously, how he knew I've wanted to ask Kairi out?! "How did you…"
He smirked, "I read your diary, and Kairi's too. She is waiting for you to ask her and you are trying to build up nerve that seems will never come, because you are nervous of her hating you forever. But in actuality she is waiting for you. When I looked at the entries in hers from we almost killed each other a few months back she had. Tear stained pages all an=bout how she couldn't stand it if you didn't survive."
In my head things were still sinking in and now I know I have to ask her but then the bad side to the story hit me "YOU READ MY DIARY!"
"That and more and with a laugh his form froze and disappeared, he teleported. I'll deal with him later but for now I need to get ready. I ran up to my house changed into my swim trunks and went down to the beach. It was another five minutes before Kairi joined me. A look of surprise crossed her face when she saw e sitting on the beach. I decided earlier that id wait for her to get here before I got in, it gave me time to think and reflect on all that Riku said. What I realized is that somehow he knows the darkness will return and that I and Kairi dating is part of some sort of master plan. I didn't realize that Kairi had arrived until I heard her say from behind me. "How did you beat me?" I jumped to my feet whipped around and summoned my keyblade "whoa she continued careful where you whip that thing."
"Sorry," I said letting it disperse in a flash of light. Taking notice of the red bikini she now wore It matched her hair amazingly. "You should know by now not to sneak up on me and Riku like that."
"I know not to but you two have super human hearing so I thought you heard me coming."
"Sorry."
"Well come on lets have some fun she said with a wink." And of course my mind enters the gutter for a quick second, (I'm a teenage boy what do you expect), then I quickly take it back out with a quick shake of my head. She whipped around and ran for the water. I replied then thought of brilliance hit me. It's now or never! With a smirk I allow the keyblade to come back and point it towards Kairi's beautifully running figure and again my mind enters the gutter, to be taken right back out. That's been happening way to much lately… I need to work on that. I focus my thoughts and soon a small white orb was floating a few centimeters from the tip. I smile and lift my keyblade up higher into the air and Kairi soon follows she turns around and yells at me "HEY LET ME DOWN YOU BIG OAF!" she is laughing hysterically while she says it which isn't convincing enough for me to let her down.
"Oh but it looks like you're having such a fun time though." I reply with a smirk "you're going to need a better excuse then that for me to let you down."
She folds her hands down in front of her and gives me her best puppy dog eyes "Come on sowa pweeeeeease?" I cracked and gently laid her in the water. I let my keyblade dissipate into a flash of light and ran into the water after her
Riku was at the back of the island practicing is sword play on a tree. It helped clear his head to think. And out of nowhere he just stopped, and dropped his blade. He saw a vision, a vision of the Darkness returning in massive amounts, more than any of the times before and that sora and Kairi were the only way to stop it this time. They can unleash a power far superior to any other but they must fall in love first, not just any love though, but true love. That is the only way to release it.
Riku knew that Sora really liked Kairi but he could never build up the guts to do anything about it. And he had always had a feeling that Kairi felt the same but she was waiting for him to make the first move "this is going to be one heck of a mess to deal with he thought out loud. "Or is it?" a voice said from behind him he smiled and turned around. It was his spiritual counselor, a spirit of light. He did not know the man's name. He was a middle aged man with short cropped black hair. He was a keyblade wielder from times long ago he appeared many other times to him but only in his dreams. He never expected to see him outside of his dreams. "Hello master. I never thought I'd see you outside my dreams"
"I come to you when you need it most now please, we are friends here, call me Eraqus."
"Ok then hello master Eraqus." Why does that name sound so familiar…?
He smiled and said "Now put your blade away and sit, there is much I must tell you and so little time." Riku did what he was told and began to listen to the tale that Eraqus weaved.
It was hours before Kairi and I got out of the water when we did Riku was on the beach waiting for us looking completely exhausted he said his quick good nights even though the sun was just setting he was going to bed "Night! Kairi and I yelled after him in unison. When we was out of sight I turned to Kairi, the beginnings of the sunset casting an amazing glow to her figure "Hey lets go to the papou tree and watch the sunset." She smiled "sounds like fun! Race you there!" she ran off towards the tree. Let her get a few feet ahead before I yell after her "time to show my valor! Drive activate!" and in a flash of red light I was in the dull red armor of Valor form. I started to dash the power of the drive form making me run two times faster "CHEATER! NO DRIVE FORMS!"
"TO LATE FOR THAT ONE!" I leaped and jumped in front of her and started running backwards to look at her "give up yet?"
"Nope" she said and before I could keep up she summoned her keyblade and shot me with an orb of energy, it caused me to fall on my butt
"HEY NO FAIR!" I said as I got up and chased her, but something was different this time "YOU TIMED OUT MY DRIVE!" She didn't respond she just kept running, giggling the whole time
"I JUST LEVELED THE PLAYING FIELD!" she finally replied a few seconds later still running for the goal laughing like a school girl, it made me smile as if I could live off that laughter forever.
In the end, the race was a tie, we hopped up onto the trunk of the bended tree watching the sunset, breathing hard from the race wed just finished. Riku's right, I thought I'm out of shape.
Kairi wrapped her arms around her, and shivered, it was getting cold out. I scooted closer and wrapped my arm around her. It made her jump she looks me in the eye, her face was gaining a reddish tint, but with a smile she scooted in closer to snuggle as if there's nowhere else she'd rather be. And instantly, as if on cue, my face heated up, I was probably blushing. I hope she doesn't notice, at least not yet. I look over into her bright blue eyes that were staring up at me "is something wrong sora? You seem like there's something on your mind." I thought for a moment before I responded it's now or never! I thought.
"Well there's two things on my mind right now both of them deal with that chat I had with Riku. The first is that he believes that the Darkness will return soon, very soon. He won't tell me why he believe it but he just wanted me to trust him and start to get back in shape. Because both of us are way out of shape."
"How? We defeated Ansem and Xemnas how could they possibly return."
"I don't know, I've asked myself the same question, but whatever the case I trust him and I will start to train to get back in shape."
"And what's the other thing that's bugging you?"
I take my other hand that wasn't snuggling her and scratch the back of my head in nervousness. I think my face portrayed my nervousness too because I could feel my face heat up some more. If she couldn't detect my nervousness before she can now. "Well uh um, you see," I start out already stuttering and stumbling over my own words. I'm doomed! I thought to myself. This one kind of, sort of involves you Kairi."
She sat up "how so?" she asked, her face instantly growing a deeper red. she was probably guessing what I was about to tell her, and my instincts told me she was right, but in her head she was debating on whether or not she was right. "But instead of explaining the whole thing, I'm just going to come out and say it… Kairi…" I looked down at my feet hoping that Kairi doesn't see the desperation and nervousness in my eyes. "Kairi I love you… I have since the first moment I laid eyes on you… id just never been able to build up the courage to tell you…" she sat there awestruck for what felt like hours she was speechless. But soon she smiled like a women who had just won the lottery
"Sora you have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to say that!" she squealed and hugged me I was utterly stunned at first but then melted into her embrace and hugged back just as the sun was disappearing over the horizon. Riku was right! I should listen to him more often.
Riku was perched at the top of one of the giant palm trees near the papou fruit tree watching the two new love birds like a hawk. He had been up there the whole time. he had never went to bed as soon as he was out of there sight he teleported up here to see how his young companion would do, and in his book it was a 'B' he could have done without the stuttering. But he got some major bonus points for the snuggling it helped put Kairi in the mood and prepared her for every word. Now everything was falling into place. There was a loud crack underneath him as the branch he sat on broke "CRAAAAAAAP!"
Kairi was in a trance. She couldn't figure out if everything that happened was a dream or not. But was she wished this dream would never end but little did she know that the loud crack! Probably a bird that landed on a weak branch. But it wasn't a bird like she thought but what she now heard would cause a temporary end to this dream "CRAAAAAAAP!"
Is this a dream? Sora asked himself. If it is then I don't want it to end. He heard a loud crack he thought it was just a bird nothing to be afraid of but what scared him most was what he heard next "CRAAAAAAAP!" with a resounding Thud. Me and Kairi jumped up and broke the embrace nervously we looked over at the giant dust cloud that was kicked up
"I thought that was a bird!"
"Definitely not a bird." I said with a laugh
She playfully punches me on the arm. "Shut up."
As the dust cleared it revealed Riku lying on the ground, he'd obviously been spying on us. "I am definitely not a bird!" He said with a smile we were both ticked we whip out our keyblades and in unison say "you have ten seconds." He stares at us in awe
"You can't be serious?"
"How much you want to bet?" we said in unison. Wherever this unison thing is coming from we thought in unknowing unison but it's getting creepy.
"You guys are my friends what would you possibly do?"
"5…" I said shooting a warning fireball about an inch from him
"4…" Kairi continued
"Aw crap!" he finally scrambles to his feet and takes off running
"3, 2, 1!" me and Kairi finish in unison and run after him, blasting magic at him. We were missing on purpose but he didn't know that, so he was running for his life, and was probably scared out of his mind just waiting for one to hit him. Again in unknowing unison I and Kairi thought to ourselves what a perfect end to a prefect night.
Kairi was sitting at her desk writing in her journal about the events that have happened today. But with all the excitement she didn't think she would fall asleep. Why not take a walk on the beach there's no harm in that right? She walked down the stairs and onto the soft sand that awaited her.
Sora was lying in his bed, he couldn't sleep. In his head he was recounting the day's events. He was finally dating the girl of his dreams, but something seemed off about it. One how did Riku know where his diary was? Second how did he know Kairi would say yes? And last but not least how did he know that the darkness was going to return? There's no way I'm getting any sleep tonight. He thought, might as well take a walk on the beach to clear my head. He got up and jumped out his window to the soft beach below. He saw someone lying on the beach as I walked up to the form he realized it was Kairi "what are you doing out here this late Kairi?" she jumped and turned her head to look me.
"Don't scare me like that! And I could honestly ask you the same thing."
"True," I replied with a smile. I plopped down next to her and lay down on the soft sand. And she laid back down next to me our hands only centimeters away. We both lay there, nervous to make the first move, staring up at the stars. I nervously laid my hand on top of hers she tensed for a moment but then relaxed and wrapped hers around mine, and that's how we laid for a while, it felt like hours but was only a few minutes I whispered to myself "this is just how I envisioned it"
"Hmmm?" Kairi asked
"Well I've dreamt about this for a long time, longer than you can imagine actually, a night under the beautiful night sky with the girl of my dreams that is more beautiful than the entire night sky itself, lying next to me" I reply with a smile. She replied with a slight blush and a short giggle. She sat up and looked me in the eye "Do you really mean that" I sit up too so we are at eye level, our faces only about an inch away.
"I mean every word" she smiled and started to lean in her eyes slowly shutting, lips preparing for the kiss. I follow her lead our lips are only about a few centimeters away.
Riku was up in the trees watching the whole scene unfold before him, Kairi and sora were about to kiss he could tell by the body language. Might as well have some fun! He thought to himself as he teleported to the water he summoned way to the dawn and right as they started to lean in to kiss, started some water magic causing a big wave to head right towards them! Their faces were only a few centimeters apart and the wave was going to hit them.
I can't believe this! Kairi thought to herself, this better not be a dream! No, it's not a dream it's too real. I'm about to have my first kiss, and with the one, my one, Sora. I may not be able to say it right now because of my nerves, but I love you so much. Our lips were only a few centimeters away I could feel his breath brush against my lips, it sent shivers down my spine and heat rose to my cheeks I heard a loud Whoosh! And instantly sora and I were soaked.
This is it! Sora thought to himself I finally get to have my first kiss, and with the girl of my dreams to boot! I better not mess this up. I may not be able to say this because of my nerves but Kairi, I love you. But that's right when he hears a big Whoosh! And out of nowhere him and Kairi were soaked "sorry," I heard Riku's voice say, but I couldn't pin point where it was coming from, "it just looked like you needed to cool off!" I finally saw where he was but before I could do anything, he laughed and teleported away somewhere.
"ILL GET YOU FOR THAT RIKU!" I yelled into the calm night air Kairi lightly grabbed my arm.
"Don't worry about it; he was just having some fun." I smile at her
"I guess your right" I reply as I take my spot next to her back, we never did finish what we started, but we continued to chat about this and that for about an hour or so. Eventually we were both didn't want to get up from our spots on the beach (or we were just too lazy). So we cuddled close I fell asleep on that beach with Kairi breathing lightly as she slept, her head lying on my on my chest, with my right arm around her back, our bodies huddled together for warmth. I used my left arm as a pillow as I drifted off into the dreams (or should I say nightmares) that awaited sleep. Fighting heartless and nobodies like that, monsters from the darkest depths of reality and you think I'd get off without a battle scar? Yea right.
But today ended how it began me sleeping on the beach, the waves lightly brushing against my feet. The only difference is that the women I love, is lying next to me. I had a feeling it would be the happening a lot more now. Today started some of the best times of my life.
When I woke up to the sunset the next morning the first thing I noticed was that me and Kairi's position switched sometime during the night and she was now lying next to me, cuddled right against my body with my arms wrapped around her. Her sleeping face was so cute I wished I could lay there and stare at it forever. I tried no to move, but her eyes started to open. I lightly kissed her forehead she smiled still obviously in a half asleep state. She smiled and asked me in barely a whisper "Sora, is this heaven?" with a short laugh I reply
"Far from it, but much better my little angel." She smiled and tried to stifle back her giggle. As I kiss her forehead once more. She blushed slightly and sat up; I sat up with her and smiled.
"Well it looks like you two love birds are off to a great start." Said a voice from behind us, we whipped our heads over to where the voice came from, over near the waterfall where Riku stood with a grin. Kairi and I's faces instantly flushed a deep red. I quickly stutter out
"Ho… o… ow how long have you been standing there?"
"The entire time," he replied with a grin. He clears his throat and try's to mimic my voice but fails miserably "no, we are somewhere way better than that my little angel." He starts bursting out laughing "I was weak!" he continued "That was one of the cheesiest lines I've ever heard!" he continues to laugh. My face, once flushed red in embarrassment, is now red with fury!
I started to summon my keyblade, but something felt odd, different when the keyblade appeared there was a shadow of dark energy and it appeared. Riku and Kairi gasped, I was confused. They've seen my keyblade before what's so different? I look down at the blade in my hand and I was surprised. I only saw the blade one other time; during my first journey. It was Riku's keyblade from when Ansem possessed him; the Keyblade of People's Hearts, the one made of pure darkness, the one I used to release Kairi's heart, the one that turned me into a heartless. But why do I have it? "Sora…" Riku began, "How do you…."
I knew what he was going to ask, "I don't know… something felt different when I was summoning it but I couldn't figure out what…" I let it dissipate and I call back on the keyblade, in a flash of light my basic kingdom key appears in my hand. "How can this be… we should go get the king and go see Yen Sid maybe they'd know what's going on." Both Kairi and Riku nodded their agreement. I heard a noise I turn around and see the gummy ship coming into the atmosphere. "Looks like our ride is here." I say, all this timing seems just too perfect… I though t to myself something's going on. And by what's happened already I know I'm not going to like what's coming.
When the gummy ship landed Donald opened the door and yelled out to the three of us "come on the king got a message from Yen Sid he wants to see us pronto." The time is just too perfect… we hopped into the cockpit me and Kairi took the two seats in the back, holding hands in between the seats. As we were flying Donald looked back and noticed our hands. And smiled "so what did we miss?" I smiled back.
"A lot," as we saw Yen Sid's world come into view "Some of it you will hear in a few minutes, the rest you'll have to wait on till we get back to the islands."
Goofy looked at Donald with a confused look on his face "aw shucks Donald it's as plain as day sora and Kairi are in love!" me and Kairi look at each other and start laughing our heads off! I stop laughing long enough to say,
"Goofy could figure it out but you couldn't? I thought you were supposed to be the smart one that only brings us to a greater uproar and this time Riku joined in.
"I thought you were a wizard? Aren't wizards supposed to be wise and intelligent?
"Yea…" Donald replied
"Well then you must be one horrible magician."
"Hey!" he said with a snarl "I am smart!"
"Then how could you not figure that out!" all four of us say at the same time
"Ohhhhhhhh shush it you!" he said his hand creating some sparks as if he's going to cast some fire magic. We all started laughing oh how I love my friends! I thought happily to myself.
When we landed king mickey was leaning against the wall next to the towers door "king mickey? How did you beat us here?" Donald asked
"Easy, an old friend helped me out." he opened his palm and in it was a blue star shaped crystal, with lightning bolt ribbons something about it seemed so familiar… "Sora you look like you recognize it. Or rather, I believe, Roxas does." My eyes widened and there was a sharp pain in my fore head. I grab my head and fall on my knees staring at the sky, tears starting to stream down my face as I blackout "I see Kairi dive and catch me , I could not hear what she said but her lips read "SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAA!"
Kairi couldn't believe what she just saw all mickey said was Roxas and Sora blacked out. Right now they were sitting in Yen Sid's study; sora was lying on a bench with his head in her lap. She glares over at mickey, "What did you do to him mickey!"
"What are you blaming me for? I didn't do anything! My best bet is that he's having a memory relapse."
"What does that mean?"
Yen Sid was the one to answer "let's make this as simple as possible. As you know sora had a Nobody named Roxas that was created when he turned himself into a heartless, so that your heart Kairi, mat be restored. When his memory was corrupted and we needed to fix it, Diz, or should I say Ansem, "merged them together then sent all of Roxas's memories into the deepest hardest part of the mind to reach so that sora never stumbled upon them. But what's happening is a complete relapse where now all of Roxas's memories will become intertwined with Sora's."
Kairi was devastated; she understood everything yet at the same time was completely lost. "Do you know when he will wake up?" I asked on the verge of tears. Yen Sid shook his head
"It is impossible to know how long it will take it could take days, weeks, months, even years to process everything and only time will tell." Kairi couldn't hold it in any longer. She bent her head over and looked at Sora's limp body with his eyes rolling around behind his eyes. She brushed her hand through his thick hair and broke down crying, tears landing on his sleeping face, every one watched her but no one said a thing to stop her, she needed the time to just cry.
Sora was flying through a tunnel of pure light and darkness, images running past him that he had never seen before. He gently landed on a smooth surface and in a flash of light and darkness Roxas appeared his back turned to him, in another flash, this time of pure light, another man appeared. He looked just like Roxas they both turned around and smiled at me. The man I couldn't recognize walked up and shook my hand "it's an honor to meet you sora!"
"Who are you?"
"Oh my apologies, how rude of me, I am Ventus. And you know my friend Roxas right?" I nod
"Yeah I know him. Now can someone explain to me what is going on?"
"Sure!" Ventus said. "See as you know Roxas has sort of become part of you."
"Yeaaaah"
"Well I was part of Roxas so now our memories experiences mistakes and so forth will now be at your disposal. Now I think you'd want to wake up about now." He points his finger at the air next to him and its showing what's going on outside, Kairi was crying her eyes out over my unconscious body. "Kairi… she must have been devastated"
"Yes now give us a few minutes and you can be with her okay?" I nod my head at them. "As long as I can see my beloved Kairi as soon as possible."
Kairi never left Sora's side people came in and out of the little side room they had moved Sora to. Kairi just sat there running her hands through his hair, crying her eyes out, or praying to whatever religions god it is that was real to bring him back to her. She looked out the window and realized how dark the sky had become since they first entered the room. How long have I been sitting here? She thought. At least a couple hours, but it doesn't matter, I will stay here as long as I needed. She kneeled down next to his head and started brushing her hand through his hair like; she had done so many times so far already. She stood up a little and bent down to kiss his forehead. It won't hurt anything. She thought to herself.
Sora spent a while with Ventus and Roxas in this 'dream scape' teaching him about keyblade techniques, past secrets, mistakes they've made and how to overcome them. After sometime they opened a portal and said to me "walk through this and you'll wake up." With a smirk he continued, "And I think that you'll like what will happen, but don't think this will be the last you see of us. With a smile and nod I ran through the portal.
When I opened my eyes Kairi was bent over me, eyes shut about to kiss my fore head, she hadn't realized I had woken up yet! This is my chance! I thought to myself. I quietly readjusted myself and leaned into kiss her on the lips. As soon as our lips touched there was a jolt of energy that flew through my body and I could tell by the expression she gave me that the same happened to her. Her eyes shot open, she yelped and jumped back.
I sat up and smiled at her and instantly the door was ferociously pushed open by Riku way to the dawn already in his hand. As soon as he saw me staring at him he let it disappear into a flash of light and darkness. With a smirk I say. "Well isn't this some welcome back from a coma party! First my girlfriend gets scared of me, then my best friend tries to kill me, what's next is the cake poisoned?" we all start laughing as the others walk in and look at us dumb founded as to why we were laughing. Yen Sid nodded his head
"Hmm this is most strange… I expected you to be in memory relapse top take a few days at least, not a few hours."
I smile at him "I have Roxas and this other guy, named Ventus." As soon as I said that Mickey and Yen Sides faces looked awe struck.
Mickey looked at me, "VENTUS THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"
"You know him?"
Mickey nodded but yen Sid answered for him "after the great keyblade wars there were only two key blade masters left one of light named Eraqus, and one of darkness named master Xeanort. Eraqus had two apprentices named Aqua, and Terra. Master Xehanort had only one apprentice at the time, Ventus."
"WHAT?! There's no way he's a dark keyblade wielder!"
"Now hold on let me finish." Yen Sid said with a deathly glare that would silence any man. "Xehanort was using him to try and recreate the something, the X-Blade, the object that the keyblade war was fought over. At the end of the war X-blade was shattered into 20 pieces seven of light, and thirteen of darkness, and given to worthy spirits on each side and passed down through the generations. He realized that Ventus was the key to recreating it, he had all 20 pieces. But his mistake was that he thought it could only be done by him succumbing to the darkness, He tried and failed to make Ventus succumb to the darkness, so he separated Ventus's light and darkness into two beings Ventus and Vanitas. They both had none of Ventus's original memories. Xehanort, seeing no more need for Ventus, apprenticed him to master Eraqus. Later he realized how to recreate the X-blade. Venus and Vanitas needed to fight but first he had one last barrier to get rid of, master Eraqus, tricked Terra into killing him. Once he was killed he got his wish, he recreated the blade, but Ventus sacrificed his life to destroy the blade, and Vanitas with it. Now enough stories telling on my part now it is your turn. Explain to me two things; one what happened in that coma of yours, second explain to me what happened on destiny islands that Riku was saying you needed to talk to me about, and thirdly how long have you and Kairi been dating, I always knew you two would be such an amazing couple. Now if I'm not mistaken mickey you owe me five thousand munny."
"What? No I don't."
"Yes you do remember that bet we made before you left for castle oblivion?"
"Oh gosh, I completely forgot about that!" We all start laughing once more
We walked into Yen Sid's study; well everyone else did, because I was still weak from the coma so Riku helped me walk. When we sat down I explained what happened on the islands, me somehow summoning Riku's evil keyblade, every detail I could remember. When I told him this Yen Sid said he knew what was going on but could not tell me. So Kairi and I left into the side room where I was kept while I was in a coma. We sat down on the bench I was 'sleeping' on. I looked over at her and said. "Well we were sort of interrupted earlier, so do you want to finish where we left off?" She smiled back at me and said "of course! I mean we are finally alone, since everyone else in talking to Yen Sid."
We readjusted ourselves; we wrapped our arms around each other, our faces only about an inch apart I smiled at her, my mind not believing that this is actually happening. I close my eyes, tilt my head slightly, and slowly leaned in. my palms became sweaty, my mind started to run at a hundred miles per hour. I stopped about a centimeter away; I heard her release a shuddery breath. She leaned in the last centimeter as our lips made contact the electric shock ran down my back once more and my mind went blank the only thing I could think was Wow…
Kairi watched in awe as Sora started to lean in she was awestruck! I've imagined this day for years but I never believed that it would happen! He stopped about a centimeter away, he was making sure I want to still go through with this, and I knew for a fact that I did I slowly leaned in to cover that last centimeter. I shut my eyes and instantly I was nervous out of my mind but I forced myself to just let it happen. As our lips touched a shock of electricity passed through my body that made me release a small muffled moan I don't know if sora heard it but if he did it would've just shown him how wonderful this felt to her. Her mind went dead the only thing was the feeling. This… is just… pure bliss… she thought to herself.
"Ha!" Riku exclaimed "pay up old man fifty thousand munny! Right here, Right now!" With a growl Yen Sid grabbed a pouch from is belt and started counting up the money. When they kicked Sora and Kairi out of the room it wasn't to discuss what happened on the islands exactly. The main reason was for a bet Riku made with Yen Sid, he knew that if they left sora and Kairi alone away from them while they thought they'd be busy for a little while. They would kiss since they've been interrupted twice already. But Yen Sid strongly disagreed so they bet and set up a little viewing portal in the room so they could see what they were doing, they saw and heard everything.
How long have we been doing this? Sora asked himself. It can't have been too long can it? Whatever the case I don't want this to end… but… I know it has too eventually. I slowly and gently pulled back as they both released a shuddery breath as their brains woke back up. Both of us started doing different nervous ticks, our faces bright red with nervousness or maybe it was embarrassment. But whatever the case we sat there for a moment until I heard Kairi say so quietly I could barely hear it. "So sora… how… how was it…"
"Unbelievable… how about you…" she smiled obviously pleased with my answer
"Same…" I replied. We sat there for a few awkward seconds until Riku's voice shattered the silence "THIS IS ONLY THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND OUR BET WAS FOR FIFTY OLD MAN! NOW PAY UP! THEY KISSED I WAS RIGHT I WON!" the realization hit them immediately, they were used for a bet, and they were spied on by the others.
We instantly got up and started walking towards them; we were going to kill them. As we walked in they shrunk back from the looks of anger on our faces, they knew that we were ticked, and were imagining the punishment for them, at least that's what I thought until I heard Kairi shriek. "Sora what's happening to you?" Everyone else drew there weapons and were watching me. I looked down at my hands and they had become as black as night, wisps of dark energy streaming from my skin it reminded me of one thing; Heartless. What… what is this why am I turning into a Heartless? I looked at my friends completely destroyed, they were holding up arms against me I thought they were my friends. I felt a tear leave my eye but it sizzled out on my skin. I fell onto my knees, Riku walked forward, way to the dawn in his hand. He held up the blade and said "sora I don't know if that is you, or if there's any part of you left in there, but this is for your own good." I closed my glowing yellow eyes and waited for the blow but it never came. Instead I heard Kairi scream. I looked up and saw Kairi laying on the floor holding her side Riku looked at her and said "why did you jump in front of it, why did you protect him?" she coughed out some blood on to the wooden planks. At the sight of her blood I began to shiver in anger.
Her voice became more and more distant as she spoke "because I know without a doubt…" she coughed some more, increasing the size of the puddle and in my anger I began to grind my teeth "that sora is still in there…" with that she passed out. I was enraged I slowly came to my feet.
Riku looked over and said "So you're going to fight me now?"
In response I looked up at the ceiling, I was crying but I knew they couldn't see. I let out a fierce roar which caused dark energy to flow around me like a vortex, lightning flashing in all directions the raw power causing me to lift a few inches off the ground. I looked straight at Riku anger clearly showing in my eyes. I pull back my arms curl in my fingers and whip the so they are facing palms forward at Riku, by command the lightning focuses hones in on its target, he holds up way to the dawn to block the onslaught, the weapon absorbs the dark energy but the ricochet causes it to fly out of his hand and land in the floor, point first with a shink! Before he had time to react in a flash of darkness I appear in front of him our faces about faces an inch away, and give him a powerful left hook which sends him flying through the wall and down to the court yard below. Leap and perch on the window sill. I see him roll on the ground unharmed with a roar I leap out the window after him, my right fist drawn back as I infuse it with power. When I hit the ground there was an explosion of lightning and dark energy that shot in to the sky, higher than the tower. Every one watching the fight from the window gasped.
I slowly got to my feet and looked around. I know I missed, I looked around and I noticed him up in a tree. I heard mickey shout from the top floor "Riku! Catch!" I looked up and he threw Way to the dawn at him. Riku looked up and leaped at it. With a snarl I leap at him, but I'm too late he grabs it, whips it around and hits me in the face sending me flying into the tree he was just perched upon. He landed on the ground, pointed the weapon at me and said with a smirk "Now were playing on a level battle field" with a smirk I shoot out my right arm and The Keyblade of People Hearts appears in my hand. Almost immediately Riku lost his nerve, I growl out in some evil demented voice that this form has given me. It's a cross between a growl, an angry undertone and, Ansem's evil yet elegantly smooth voice. "Now were playing on a level playing field."
I dashed at him faster than the human mind can measure and knock way to the dawn up in to the air; with a leap I grasped it in my left hand. As soon as it came into contact with me it reverted to its true form; Soul Eater. I flip back and land safely on the ground. I pushed off the ground and was instantly was upon him the surprise on his face was obvious. I start battering him left and right with both weapons wielding them more like batons then swords.
I smashed the hilt of Soul Eater in to his head and he dropped to the ground like a fly. I infuse Soul Eater with darkness and let it hover out of my hand, where it leveled off about 10 feet off the ground, spinning. It soon released dark energy chaining Riku to the ground. I stand on his left side with The Keyblade of People's Hearts in both of my hands point down, right over Riku's heart. "Now you die." I said. I raised the blade up into the air the fear in Riku's face seemed to wake me up from my trance. No! I can't do this! I thought. Not to my best friend!
The blade dissipated Soul eater returned to Way to the Dawn, and released the dark chains holding Riku in place. Way to the Dawn landed point first right in between his legs about a half inch from hitting him where darkness still lives in him. I stumbled backwards holding my head mouthing 'no I can't do this' over and over when I was in the middle of the yard I fell to my knees I howled up to the stars above "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" and I was surrounded in a pillar of pure darkness. My voice began to change back to normal and as it did the pillar of darkness changed to a pillar of light. I started to rise in the pillar as it started to fade away. When it did my arms were extended to their full length on either side of me, my body seemingly made of pure light! And angel wings made of light risen up above my head. The wings started to flicker in and out and finally disappeared. And I fell the ten feet to the ground below on my hands and knees, my body still made of diminishing light. I look up at Riku and said "I'm sorry…" and with that the light energy shattered off my skin like glass, it swirled all around me and one by one winked out of existence. When the last one was gone I blacked, kairis voice ringing in my head.
end of part one
