Kingdom Hearts 3
DISCLAIMER: I do not in any way own Kingdom Hearts or Sora or Riku or Kairi or Roxas or Namine (but I'm very happy I don't own Namine because she's mean and screwed with poor Sora's memories) or Axel etc. Neither do I own Square Enix or Disney. But I wish I did. Really.
Hi I'm Xaikalh! I'm 14 years old and this is my first story on here. So please, humor me and if you have any suggestions or comments please leave me a review. Please don't flame me or leave rude stuff on it. THANKY YOUS!!
PART 1, CHAPTER 1
Sora looked out from the little hut that he and Riku had built together three years ago. The sun shined brilliantly over the ocean.
Wow………I forgot how calming it was… He thought to himself. I forgot about a lot of stuff. He began to frown, but smiled again But I found Riku.. And Kairi! He sat still for a minute, remembering when he saw that Riku was standing before him, not Xehanort's heartless. How happy he was. Then he remembered Kairi, when they saw each other for the first time in three years. He remembered when she ran up to him and hugged him.
Sora blushed a little at the flashback. Then he sat up and stretched, looking out the window again. He saw Riku sitting on the paopu tree and decided that he would join him.
He ran up to where Riku was sitting on the paopu tree then leaned up against it.
"Nothings changed, huh?" Riku said.
"Nope. Nothing will."
"What a small world."
"But.., part of one that's much bigger." Sora started to say. He thought for a minute, a thoughtful frown starting to form on his face then said "Hey Riku, what do you think it was? The door to light?"
Riku jumped off the paopu tree with a slight laugh. "This." He said while pointing to Sora's chest, at his heart.
"This?" He said while repeating the motion.
"Yeah. It's always closer than you think."
He thought for a minute, and smiled. Huh………It always takes me forever to get stuff that people say…I need to go to school!! Jeez, fighting heartless and saving worlds got me stronger, but it sure as heck didn't get me smarter……
"SORA!! RIKU!!" They heard Kairi say. Well, yell actually. She ran toward Riku and Sora.
"Hey..what's up?" Sora asked slightly worried.
She looked up at him, clearly exhausted; "Look!" she said and showed them a bottle. It had a note with the king's seal on it. Sora looked down at it.
"From the king?!" He took it from Kairi and opened it, his blue eyes lighting up with excitement. But not necessarily the happy kind. Bittersweet. Like you get something new but you have to give up something else. Kairi frowned as she stared down at the paper. Maybe THIS time I can go with them. She thought. Riku looked on.
Dear Sora, Riku, and Kairi,
Sorry to cut your vacation short but there's something I have to talk you about. I don't want to say it over the letter but it's really important. Please come to Disney Castle in 1 day. Cid has sent a gummi ship to your island. You don't need to pack. Once again I'm sorry for cutting your vacation short and I'm sorry for being so brief, but this can't wait. See ya when I see ya!
King Mickey Mouse
P.s.: Bring Kairi with you two.
Sora looked up, his brown fringy hair waving around in the air.
"Well…He could've just said 'Come to Disney Castle tomorrow'…" He commented, trying to break the silence. He failed though.
Riku coughed slightly. "So.. I'm gonna go home and tell mom and dad that I'm gonna be gone a bit. They'll be pleased with that I'm sure. When will we meet and where will we meet tomorrow?" Riku said.
Sora looked at him and cleared his throat, happy for the distraction. "Uh, yeah I don't know, he didn't really mention where to wait for the gummi ship, did he? Well, I think we should meet here pretty close from the time we read the letter. Uh, Kairi? Do you know what time we exactly read the letter?" He asked. He scratched his head slightly while looking at her.
Kairi looked up snapping out of her little staring contest with the rock on the ground. "I have no idea." She replied simply, staring at her feet. Sora looked at her with concern.
"Ok, well, let's make it noon. I'll see you two at twelve o'clock tomorrow. Don't do anything naughty while I'm gone!!" Riku said while waving. He ran off to his boat, Sora chasing him all the way to the boat, his face lobster red. Riku jumped into the boat and pushed off into the sea, but Sora wasn't so lucky because he was running too fast to stop… Riku paddled off, laughing all the way, leaving a spluttering and soaked Sora to swim in the freezing water.
" GRAAH! I'M GONNA GET YOU TOMORROW RIKU! cough MARK MY WORDS! cough, cough" he said while trying to get onto the deck. He gave up and swam to the big rock thing that the paopu tree and Kairi were on. He climbed up and shivered.(Well? Wouldn't you? The water is probably freezing at this time.)
"Bye Riku!" Kairi said while laughing. Sora leaned against the tree. "So, you gonna tell me what's the matter?" He asked. He looked over at her. She didn't look up. "Kairi?" he tried again.
She sighed. "Sora, why can't we just stay here? Why can't somebody else save the worlds? I just wish you could stay here. With me." Sora walked up to her.
"But Kairi, you're coming, too! Remember? In the letter it said to bring you!" He said thoroughly confused.
"Sora… That's not what I meant!" She said tiredly. "Sure, I'll be going with you, but we'll be going AWAY from home! I want to stay here! With you and Riku and Tidus and Wakka and Selphie! How will I tell my mom and dad that I'm going away? What do I know about fighting? How..!" Sora broke her off and hugged her tightly. Kairi stood there in shock for a minute then hugged him back. After a minute, Sora pulled back, still holding her arm, and gave her a sympathetic smile.
"Kairi. I promise that we will come back here after this. But I can't promise it will be forever. I have no idea how long it will last. But it'll seem to last for a long time." The keyblade master gave her a genuine Sora smile. "Ok?"
Kairi smiled and said "Yeah. Thank you, Sora."
"No problem!" Sora said and grinned.
He walked her over to her boat and helped her in. They waved at each other as she became a tiny speck next to the town area of Destiny Islands. He sighed and walked around aimlessly.
Eventually, he found himself in the little cave that they all called the secret place. He looked at the drawings that he, Riku and Kairi had done over the years. He looked at all the maps scrawled illegibly on the rocks, all the little drawings of the island, and the drawing that he and Kairi drew together. Then he looked beside the drawing at the world's lock. His keyblade instinctively appeared in his hand. He brought it up to eye level and looked at it. The keychain that was on it was Oathkeeper, shining and glinting in the faint sunlight. He smiled to himself and aimed the keyblade at the door. The door responded, flashing a brilliant light. A beam of light from the keyblade flashed and locked the world's heart up tight.
"Just to be sure." He whispered. He didn't want to lose this world ever again.
AND SO CHAPTER ONE ENDS!! How was it? Chapter two coming up soon. I REALLY enjoyed writing this, but it was the shortest I think I will be writing.(chapter-wise) In the next chapter: RIKU STAYS THE NIGHT AT SORA'S HOUSE, AND THEY FINALLY GET TO GO TO DISNEY CASTLE.
