Disclaimer – I don't own anything… sadly. I would like to own Axel, Sora, and Riku, oh and Xemnas…. Okay anyways my point is, I don't own anything or anybody. Squaresoft and Disney do.
Summary – At last! The waited sequel to Meant for You is here! Though it wasn't a very long wait… I was going to finish another story but I got impatient hahahaha.
The drive home was calm, yet dangerous. Rain, it always settled on the ground and slid into crevices pooling up into small water craters. Yet it was dangerous incase you skid in the water spots, or perhaps too much water blurred your windows blocking your view.
Sora loved rain storms. But tonight he was driving home from work in a dangerous rain storm. And about five minutes driving home lighting and thunder started. The lighting causing frightening flashes across the sky and the thunder roaring like cracks across the sky. it sounded as if a nuclear war was being held outside of their small Island home.
It was late at night around ten in the evening he had gotten off work late trying to calm the sea creatures down at the aquarium. They had to take extra care feeding them and making sure nothing went wrong. Of course there were people there 24/7 but Sora always had to stay behind and help if it was needed.
Yes, he had gotten his dream, and marine biologist. And it took five years to achieve this goal. As he slowed his car down when more heavy rain fell down he hoped that he could make it home safely to his wife.
After all, they were newly weds. Yes his wife was of course Kairi. Five years, it took five years to get to where everyone was at now. Sora and Kairi were married a month ago.
They moved into a three bedroom house with Riku and Samantha. Yes they were still together, it was beautiful how everything grouped together. They were still yet to be married, but when the time came it would be as joyous as Sora and Kairi's.
Sora flinched as another grand flash went soaring across the atmosphere it seemed, and followed with that he swore was a nuclear bomb being set off right next to him. He dared to look for a few seconds for his cell phone that was sitting in his jackets pocket and wondered if he should call Kairi, letting her know he was on his way home. He was an idiot and never called to let her know he was on his way home. She must be worried sick, after all the red head was home all alone. Riku and Samantha went to visit her parents. They moved recently which was why the two decided to move in together with Sora and Kairi. Plus it was a grand financial aid.
Bills were not a problem for Sora right now, but he was starting out fresh new and needed to make a few raises before he could consider moving out on his own and knowing he'd be able to survive with out help. It was mainly him brining the money in. Kairi rarely worked, she was still training to become a nurse and hardly got work in with her being so busy with school.
The brunette bit his lip and felt his heart beginning to beat fast. He was driving slowly along a cliff. One wrong slip and his car could be pummeling down to its fiery grave in the ocean.
There are metal bars that could contain him, but this storm was not just an ordinary tropical storm. This was something greater. He gripped the wheel tighter and steered safely back onto firm ground with land on both sides of him.
He breathed a sigh of relief from surviving that scary cliff.
It wasn't like he never drove in weather like this before. In fact just the other night he and Riku were coming home from work, yes Riku still worked at the Aquarium with Sora, he was a new manager there who helped keep everything in order, It was a storm not quite like this one, but pretty bad. They had made it home safely, but it was just that this one didn't feel right. The wheels of his car kept being pushed to the other side of the road. He'd then have to be careful to quickly move the car back into its rightful place without being smashed into another car and being careful to not slide off the road.
Five years to make it to this point in their lives. Sora. Kairi, and Samantha were twenty-two, and Riku was twenty-three. No kids as of yet. Sora caught Samantha sitting in their bedroom (Sora and Kairi's) and talking about babies. Turns out Kairi wants one but not quite right now. Not until her job gets more stable. Samantha claimed she wants one also, but not until they move out and get everything settled. There was no way she was going to burden Sora and Kairi with a new born.
Kairi just giggled and continued to braid Samantha's hair. He loved these girls. Samantha had grown on him. Her kind spirit and how loving and her matron instincts were over whelming. Whenever they were sick she took care of them and brought them back to 100 health. Kairi had another instinct but she was feisty and would hurt anyone who made her angry. He loved that about Kairi too. She was beautiful in everyway.
As he drove on and saw the lighting flash across the sky illuminating the sky it was so beautiful to see the rain drops being illuminated. But it was also scary to think your seeing figures shaped in front of you.
He tried to slam on his brake but new that he would skid and that would not be good. Instead he getting hitting his breaks in increments, finally his car stopped. There was nothing in front of him but a small puppy. Or what was a puppy. Someone had hit him already. He bit his lip and put his car in park. He hated seeing animals hit and not helped. Or even pushed off to the side of the road. It was upsetting.
He put his hazard lights on and grabbed his coat. He forced himself out into the rushing wind and rain. The wind was so strong that it felt like needles were hitting his face from the rain being pushed that hard. He pulled his coat tighter and bent down to examine the puppy. Its leg was mangled and its ear was ripped. His chest looked caved in. and his neck was bent in an odd way. The dog was dead, his neck was broken. He sighed painfully and shivered against the biting cold wind and rain. He was hoping to save the dog and bring it home to Kairi. She would be happy to have it.
He took his coat off and set it on his car. He surely didn't want to get blood on it. He picked the mangled puppy up and moved it to the side of the road and made sure no other cars could hit it.
He let the rain wash the blood off of his hands and walked back to his car. He was now soaked but at least he did something good.
He grabbed his coat and got back into his car. He threw his wet coat on the seat next to him. Time for another car wash. Kairi stated on day when they were in bed that he got way too many car washes. That he was too anal about cleaning his car.
He just shrugged and told her his car needed to be clean, why not? It was disgusting to see a dirty car drive by. He thought any way… Maybe he was too cynical.
He continued his travel through the watery roads. He was almost home. Kairi must be worried sick.
'Shit!' he thought. He had left his cell phone off. Now she must really be worried.
All of his pains have seized since his major innocent five years ago. It took a few years but finally the pains have seized. Even the one on his side.
Granted he still has nightmares about what happened to him. And what could happen in the near future. Five years has passed since Mickey visited him and told him about the war soon to come.
About a year ago Riku and Sora thought it out. Sora and Kairi were soon to be married and they couldn't stay at their parent's house forever. So a year ago they pitched in and bought this house. So far everything was going perfect no problems at all with all four of them living together.
They slowly forgot about what King Mickey had said. And paid no attention to it. Once in awhile when Riku and Sora were sitting alone they'd talk about it. But it never bothered them; they just figured that King Mickey didn't need them. They were safe. They weren't leaving home.
Sora pulled into his drive way and grabbed his stuff from the passenger seat. He felt disgusting. He was wet and he was starting to chafe.
He used his jacket to cover his paper work from anymore damage. He made it home safely at least. He cringed at the sight of blood on his shirt.
The lights were on in the house. That wasn't a good sign. That meant Kairi was up worrying all night.
He rummaged around his pocket for his house keys. But he didn't have to get very far in his pocket when the front door was ripped open. A disheveled looking Kairi stood in the door way. She was clutching the phone tightly and her eyes were round.
Sora smiled cheesily and shrugged, "My phone was off…. I'm sorry baby."
"God Sora I was so worried." She pulled his stuff out of his arms and set them down on the couch. Sora followed her in and shut the door.
Kairi walked back to him with her arms held out but stopped short at the sight of blood on his shirt.
"Jesus what happened?" She looked ill.
"I found a puppy on the side of the road… I was going to save it and bring it home… but….it was too late."
Kairi smiled thoughtfully and wrapped her warm body around his freezing wet one. Sora smiled and stroked her hair. He loved her hair. She had grown it out so it almost reached her waist. It was so beautiful to play with, even he loved brushing it.
And well he, well he just looked the same, just taller. And he was much more broader. That was about it.
"I was so worried about you Sora." She muttered.
"Come on darling, let's go to bed, I'm exhausted." Sora said pulled off his shirt and taking Kairi's hand making her follow him upstairs.
Riku and Samantha would be back sometime tomorrow. And Sora had the day off, so Kairi and he decided to just relax the whole day in the pool and just doing regular stuff around the house.
Life was much easier then being in high school or saving the world from devastation. It was odd to think that one simple teenager had saved many worlds. One boy and one keyblade.
But the question was, would he have to use his key once again like King Mickey said? Or was he just mistaken. An honest mistake right? One thing was for sure as Sora slept peacefully and warm next to his loving wife, that he wasn't going anywhere without Riku by his side this time. They would fight together.
