Unforeseen

She couldn't help the smile that appeared. But as much as she tried, she just couldn't help it; it was the way he was looking at her. His eyes were lit with fury and hurt pride, and his fists were clutched at his side in an attempt to sooth his hurt ego.

"You don't think I can do it?!?!?" He shouted, a childish pout now replacing the frown he was wearing a few seconds ago.

Placing her hands on her hips, Kairi nodded a stern look on her face as she stared Sora down.

"I didn't say it that way though," She defended. "I just think it's a stupid waste of time. What if you get hurt? It's not like you need to fight him any way, right?"

A triumphant smile broke out into full view as Sora was left speechless.

"Well that isn't the point." Sora began. "You don't understand Kairi, I HAVE to do it. It's a matter of pride." Sora explained, arms crossing in front of his chest.

Donald and Goofy stayed a few yards away, exchanging knowingly looks with smirks in place. Neither intended to intervene, no matter which way the conversation went.

Sighing, Kairi nodded. Sora froze as Kairi encircled him in a tight hug, her face burying into his chest. After a few seconds of nothing, Sora slowly enclosed her in a tight hug while staring off into the distance.

"Just come back to me." She whispered while relinquishing the hold she had on him.

Smiling, Sora nodded as he stepped back towards Donald and Goofy.

"No worries… I always will." He whispered back, a blush creeping over his cheeks as Donald and Goofy chuckled behind their hands.

Kairi looked on as Sora led the way back to their shuttle. The roar of the Gummi ship drowned out the sounds of the waves as it blasted off in the direction of Hallow Bastion, now known as Radiant Garden. She watched a bit longer, her hand shielding her eyes as the ship became a dot in the sky and until it disappeared entirely from view.

Reaching up with her left hand, she clutched her lucky charm, allowing the waves crashing upon the beach to sooth her worried thoughts.

"I thought she wasn't goin' to let you go." Frowning, Sora glanced over his left shoulder to gaze back at Donald.

"And what gave you that idea?" Sora prompted as their Gummi ship made its way to their destination. Donald glanced at Goofy who wisely stayed out of their discussion before explaining.

"Well……..when I first was with Daisy, I did everything she wanted me too." Sora grinned as Donald blushed, waving his arms in a vain attempt to save grace. "It's not like she made me or anything," Goofy broke out into laughter, but Donald continued. "I did all that stuff because, well…….. I love her."

"I think he's talkin' 'bout puppy love." Goofy interjected. Donald growled and swung at the knight with his newly synthesized Save the Queen.

"I know, I know." Sora responded, holding up his hands to ward of any attacks that came his way. "But I know the feeling. But after this, I'll be her eternal slave." He chuckled, folding his hands to rest behind his neck.

Donald sighed as he rested back in his seat, glaring at Goofy who had a noticeable lump upon his head. "Well, we're here." Sora announced as their ship neared Radiant Garden in what seemed like record time.

"Yep. Ready for round two?" Goofy asked, still clutching the lump that Donald had formed. Sora felt familiar serge of energy flow through him.

"Of course I am!! I can't wait!" He shouted, jumping off the pilot's seat to stand. He spun around to face his two companions, a huge grin on his face.

"Let's go." Donald and Goofy looked at each other, eyebrows raised, but nodded none the less.
