Keyblade's will

Chapter I

It's all right

Sora's gone.

It was a weird thing to be said. It sounded like a bad joke. And in fact, when she mumbled it as tears fell down her face, nobody believed it. Even when they saw him, cold, un-breathing, and his heart forever silent as it was laid to sleep. It just didn't make any sense. He was laughing with them just a few hours ago. He was having fun with everyone. He was completely fine, he was… he was…

Alive.

A few hours ago

Sora, Riku and Kairi sat on the beach of the main Island in destiny Islands. The king had told them to go meet him in their little island at twilight. He made emphasis in 'not till the twilight came'. Kairi and Sora knew that Riku already knew what was going on, but even thought they tried to make him confess he shrugged them off every time and told them to wait to find out themselves.

It had been a while since they had come back to their home and things were going back to what they used to be. A few things had to be repaired… it took a few days for everyone to remember Sora completely, and the king had to explain the situation to his desperate mother, but everything turned out ok. Now they were enjoying the simple things in life.

"OH, come on!" whined Sora yet again as he shook Riku with both hands. "Tell me, teeeeell meeeeee!"

Riku got tired of this and pushed him away and in a swift movement, he made the brunette's head dive into the sand.

"Mnmnmnnn!!" Sora fought as Riku kept him half buried, grinning all the while.

Kairi could only laugh at their antics. Sora was as childish as ever and Riku seemed to find his inner child every time they were together. But she was there to be the one to make them realize when it was time to stop. And that time seemed to arrive when Sora's arms started to fly around franticly.

"Now Riku, let him go before he dies of asphyxia."

"Yes mommy," laughed the elder as he let go of the poor teenage boy. Sora coughed sand out of his mouth.

"AHHHH! The agony!" he screamed as he rolled around on the ground. "Oh! My eyes sting! Ah! The pain!" Riku watched with amusement as Sora continued his little act of the dying sand man. "The AGONY! IT tastes… mmm…waaaa! SALTY!" Kairi laughed at the many expressions Sora was making as he tried to take the sand from his tongue.

"Here sandy boy," Sora caught the bottle of water that she threw at him out of reflex and soon gurgled out all the sand.

"Geez! That was pretty nasty! Riku that wasn't necessary."

"It wouldn't have been if you had sat down and waited as I told you to," answered the older one.

"That isn't fair!" growled the keyblade master. "You know I'm not good at waiting!"

"My dear Sora, you are not good at many things," mocked Riku as he stood up.

As Sora seethe at him, Kairi only watched them and smiled.

"I guess it's unavoidable. Why don't you look at Kairi and follow her good example?"

"Me?"

"Yes. Kairi, the best in class," Riku patted her on the head. "Now, who's a good girl?"

Kairi's smile widened, knowing very well that Riku was just trying to irritate Sora, thing he was succeeding in. With the years she learned when it was convenient for her to stay out of their little quarrels. Not because she couldn't participate in them, but rather because she enjoyed to see the spectacle. And she always got to be on the front row!

Sora growled and jumped towards Riku taking him down and rolling around as they started struggling against each other.

"Is that all you got? Oh, mighty key-blade wielder?" laughed Riku as he pushed Sora away.

"Not quite!" The boy grasped a wooden stick from the sandy floor and took his fighting stance "This is way better!"

"Now you're talking!" the other grasped another stick and took his personal fighting stance.

"Alright boys, you can play around but remember the rules, no key blades while we are in mainland," she said as she backed a little to give them room.

"Yes mom!" both smiled before launching into battle. But such a joyful battle it was. No screams of pain, only laugher. They were having the time of their lives. The boys even enticed Kairi to join them after a while and Riku was trying to teach her how to win against Sora, which had the younger fuming at being underestimated.

"Now when I tell you, you just crouch and hit, got it?" whispered the white haired teen.

"Are you sure that's all I need? I mean, it can't be that easy, right?"

"Believe me Kairi, it's easier than you think," Riku turned to Sora who was currently giving them his back in sign of anger. "Now hero boy, it's your turn to show our princess how strong you truly are!"

"Stop making fun of me Riku!" cried the keyblade warrior.

"Ok, as soon as you don't give me any more reasons I won't make fun of you."

Riku felt a soft punch on his arm and turned to look at Kairi. "Yes?"

"Come on. I believe you've torture him enough. Let's get this going!"

Riku laughed as he backed a little away. "Now Sora, remember, if Kairi knocks you out, you will owe us a banana split each."

Sora grumbled to himself as he took his stance. He wasn't going to attack with all his strength, after all, Kairi –even thought was learning faster than many- wasn't as experienced as he was.

"Now, don't underestimate me Sora," the boy smiled as he saw her take a simple defensive stance. This was a piece of cake.

They stood still for a second and then he started running towards her. His only goal was to take out her improvised sword.

Kairi looked at him as he got closer at great speed, and then looked at Riku at the side as he signed her to wait. "Wait… wait… wait..." he said softly for her to hear. "Wait… wait…wait… NOW!" he screamed.

Following his advice she got down avoiding Sora's swing and then attacked hitting him on the side. It wasn't really such a mighty attack, but it was fast enough to take the unsuspecting boy by surprise. Sora went rolling to the floor and landing face down a few meters away, his 'sword' knocked out of his hand ending the duel.

"Ladies and Gentleman, we have a new hero of the keyblade, Princes of heart, KAIRI!" announced Riku as he raised her fist in the air in sign of triumph.

Both laughed as Sora was still face down on the sand.

"Come on Sora, don't be a sore loser," Riku got closer to the boy and slightly pushed him with his foot. But Sora didn't answer. "Sora?"

"Sora? Are you OK?" asked Kairi worried that he might be hurt.

"Come on Sora, it isn't funny," Riku turned him around. The boy had his eyes closed and didn't seem to be breathing. "Sora? Come on! Wake up!" Riku shook him slightly scared now.

"Sora, please! Wake up!" cried Kairi.

"Come on buddy!" but the boy didn't react. "You've got to be kidding me…"

Both friends were about to panic when a spray of wet sand hit Riku in the face.

"Hahahaha you fell for it!" laughed the boy as he held his stomach. Riku cleaned his face from the disgusting mix of sand and spit. "You should have seen your faces!"

"Sooooooraaaaa," the boy turned to look at two murderous dark presences getting close to him. "Thaat wasn't funny!"

"Uh…mm… sorry?" but it was too late, he was put under the punishment of a sand burial!

Two hours and a shower after that…

"Geez, you didn't have to get that angry!" pouted the teenage boy as they walked towards the docks. They had taken the time to get changed into their adventure clothes, for they were the nicest to wear with that warm weather, besides, they kind of felt more comfortable to see the king while dressed in something that could be considered at least mildly nice.

"We had all the right, you really scared us!"

"I wasn't scared," corrected Riku.

"Yeah, of course," Kairi looked at him with knowing eyes, accusing him of lying.

"Ok, maybe a little," confessed the boy. "But I was more disgusted than anything, and if you dare to do that again I'll make sure to turn you into a real corpse!" threatened the silver haired teen, somehow creating a dark aura around him. Sora sweat dropped.

"Dare what? The fake-being-dead part or the spit part?"

"BOTH!" screamed both his friends.

Sora laughed nervously.

"Come on, guys. It was only a joke, nothing more."

"A very bad joke," said Kairi looking really hurt.

Sora felt guilty for making them upset. "Ok, I promise, no more jokes like that, ok?"

She smiled at him and nodded but Riku simply walked past him.

"She may forgive you with a promise, but it will take much more for me to forgive you. I want my two double banana splits by midday tomorrow and no one will take that away from me!"

"AHHH?!" shrieked the brunette. "But I don't have that kind of munny!"

"I don't care," exclaimed the silver haired boy. "This will teach you not to do things you are not willing to pay for!" Riku started to hurry his pace as he dedicated a deviant smirk at his younger friend.

"Not fair!" The boy ran after him whining. Kairi laughed this; Sora was always able to make her laugh, no matter what. He was also one of the only people that could make Riku act like that. He was, with no discussion, a bright light that made everyone's day better. She followed them as they raced towards the docks; it was time to head for the Island.

But as they ran, as they were only trying to enjoy such a piece of happiness in their lives, a prelude of what was to come crashed on the cheerful key bearer.

Suddenly, from three figures running down the street, only two moved as one fell or rather, collapsed to the stone floor on the road. Riku turned as soon as he heard the sound of the falling body. Kairi ran to him as fast as she could. Both reached him at the same time, but Sora didn't moved in acknowledge of their presence.

"Sora! Don't play, we have to hurry," said Riku with a frown, in his voice it was obvious he was getting a little nervous.

"Sora, it isn't funny," said Kairi as she shook his shoulder but he didn't budge.

The elder took hold of him and turned him around. Kairi gasped at Sora's face. He was white as a ghost!

"Kairi, I don't think he is joking," the silver haired teen said as he took his friend in his arms.

"There Riku, there's a bench over there," the boy nodded and went to lay the unconscious brunette on it.

"Now what?" asked Riku getting very concerned. Sora was unconscious and his body seemed to be trembling a little. "What could be wrong?"

"I don't know. He was running after you and then he suddenly collapsed. Maybe he hyperventilate or something," she said but doubted her words.

"I don't think so. Sora can run all the way up disney castle's main stairs without breaking a sweat. I don't think he could actually faint from this." The elder boy took of his vest and laid it on top of his shivering friend. "What ever the reason, I better go call for help, I'm not sure if we should be moving him around," Kairi nodded saying that she was going to keep the boy company, Riku agreed. But before he could leave, he felt a hand grasping his arm weakly. He turned to see Sora looking at him. "Sora!" both friends exclaimed.

"Don't… go Riku… I'm alright," said the boy as he rose slowly into a sitting position.

"You are not ok Sora, you are all pale," Kairi took one of his hands "And you are cold as well".

Sora frowned a little, but soon gave her a reassuring smile.

"Truth is I didn't get much sleep yesterday… I was kinda excited from the whole thing about this surprise and that… I think I just overdid it a little… also I may have exaggerated with the shower's temperature… you know what a shock it is to put warm and cold too fast". Riku eyed him with suspicion, Sora wasn't the best in hiding stuff, he was too sincere, but he seemed to be honest about this.

"Well, maybe we should let you rest at home. We will tell the king about it he will understand-"

"NO!" screamed the boy, surprising both his friends. "I mean…ah…" he took Riku's hand and put on his best puppy dog eyes. "I didn't get to sleep yesterday because I was so excited about today, do you really think I will be able to rest if I don't go?!" Riku recoiled at the sight of those big round puppy eyes. It was as if they had put a blinding light in front of his face. A VERY SHINY AND WICKEDLY SWEET LIGHT. The silver haired boy had to turn his gaze away because he was going to throw up if he kept looking at those eyes. "Kairi, little help here," he begged.

Kairi tugged at Sora's sleeve making him direct all the power of his eyes at her. She kneeled by his side so that her face was close to his. "Sora, I don't want you to get sick," and that made it. Sora's sweet face fell as he frowned.

"I'm not going to get sick, Kairi," he said as he brought her head gently to rest against his chest (which, by the way, surprised Riku and Kairi very much). "Do you hear it? My heart says I'm alright," Kairi relaxed at the sound, it was one very strong heartbeat. "I believe it knows that very well. You don't have to worry, I'll be just fine," he felt her nod her head. Riku looked at the scene startled by how serious Sora was acting and when his friend looked at him with a gentle smile, he could only nod at his petition. After all, Sora always got what he wanted, or at least, that seemed to be the case lately.

"Ok. But you'll be going on my boat and I will row. At the first sign of you getting sick we come back, got it?" the boy nodded brightly.

And so the three friends made their way to the dock and to their new boats. Some thing was awaiting them on that island and hopefully everything would turn out ok.

Hope you've like it so far.
