She couldn't believe it. She dropped to her knees and began to cry. The auburn-haired girl screamed his name out to the sky and began to hyperventilate. Riku tried to calm her down and hugged her. Kairi. One of the Princesses of Heart. She held Riku for the longest time. She looked at Riku.
"Sora's gone..."
3 months later...
That was three months ago, and Kairi felt alone and sad. She was home at her house in Destiny Islands. Riku was out helping refix the worlds from the damage that Master Xehanort had caused. Kairi decided to go back home so that she wouldn't get in the way, even though Riku said she wouldn't.
Kairi sat in her room and laid on her bed. She looked at the scrapbook, filled with pictures of Sora and her together. She smiled, with tears running down her face. She shut the book, threw it across the room and put her head on her knees and continued crying.
"This is stupid... Sora shouldn't be dead and he should be with me! It's not fair!" She cried out. She cried a few more minutes and then she left her house and went to the play island. She got there and walked to the secret cave that her, Riku and Sora used to draw on. She went inside and looked at all of the drawings. She stopped at the one her and Sora drew. The one with the paupou fruit, with Sora and Kairi sharing it.
"It's...not...fair..." Kairi sobbed.
She took her fingers away and noticed dust on her fingers, so she cleaned off the dust on the drawing. She looked again and saw something written underneath it.
"Silence is golden... Who wrote that?" Kairi wondered. She shrugged and walked out of the cave. As she left, the words disappeared like magic.
She walked to the badly bent paupou tree and sat down on it. She looked down and began to cry again. She kept crying until she heard a noise. She turned around to see a Portal of Darkness.
"Who's there?" Kairi said.
All of a sudden, a person walked out of the portal and the portal closed behind him. He was wearing a Organization XIII coat. Kairi takes a step towards him and he puts his hand up. He takes off his coat and looks at Kairi.
With his Black spikey hair and heartless-like eyes, he looks away from her.
"I'm sorry, Kairi." The boy said to her.
Kairi gasped. She knew that voice, but she couldn't believe who it was. She walked slowly towards him and he looked at her again.
"S-Sora...Is that you?" Kairi stuttered.
"Yeah, Kai. It's me."
Kairi began to cry and she ran to him. She hugged him tightly.
"Sora... I missed you."
"Kairi... I'm not the same."
She wiped away her tears and looked at him.
"What do you mean?"
"Kairi, in order for me to live, I had to give in to the darkness. I'm a part of it. I'm not the same Sora you know and love. I changed and that's why I'm sorry."
"I don't care if you've changed, Sora. All I care about is that you're alive and you're with me. I love you, Sora."
Sora was shocked. He thought Kairi would reject him! Kairi leaned into his face and kissed him. Kairi felt so happy kissing Sora. She pulled away and smiled.
"See. You're still the same Sora I love."
Kairi kissed him again and walked away. She looked at him and smiled.
"I'll see you at home... OK?" Kairi said to Sora.
"O-O-OK." Sora stuttered, barely being able to speak after Kairi kissed him. It was a dream come true for Sora.
Kairi walked back to her boat and rowed back home. Sora still stood there for a few minutes. He then began to sing.

(HOOK)
Time is ticking, yeah, its ticking away
I waited all my life to say
My misery hates company
I'm at a loss for words
That's a first for me
Silence is golden
Go through the motions
Silence is golden
The same colour that my throne is
(Verse 1)
Damn can't believe that i'm dead
I still feel shocked like I'm shot in the head
I woke up and cried till my eyes turned red
I wish it was a nightmare that I just had
The coroner just put me in a bodybag
And my mom turned away cause she cannot witness that
And I ain't know what to say
When I was standing with your dad
Only thing that I could think was "goddamn this is sad"
Man we was just laughing on the weekend
That was your goodbye, guess it just sinked in
No words that I can jot with the ink pen
To describe the way I feel, I guess I'm still grieving
I wish that I could bring myself back
She ain't even know how much she meant to me
And that was wack
That I couldn't even express it
Till I'm laying on my back
At my fucking funeral, when I ain't know how to react
Yeah, we supposed to get together
God had another plan for me that was better
I said a prayer to your momma and your whole family
Rest in peace, you my girlfriend forever
Yeah, I know I'm living in the sky
I wish I had a better way to tell her bye
Make sure you cherish every moment that you spend
With your people, cause you never know
Tomorrow they could die
Uh, you still love me girl
Yeah, and for that I thank you
I know you in a better place
Think up in heaven cracking jokes with them angels
Never be forgotten as I'm writing over violins
I feel alone like I'm on my own island
I thought about her every day
Like I'm at a loss for words
As I drown in the silence
(HOOK)
(Verse 2)
Damn, there we go, not speaking again?
Out the front door I was leaving again
I rode around the city pissed off
About some bullshit you said
Make me feel like I ain't breathing again
I get back, and we ain't talked to each other for like 2 days
Damn girl, who pissed in your Kool Aid?
I apologise a trillion times, make it a trillion-one
But this time I thought I too late
Yeah, I thought you was fed up with my shit
To get through that cold heart I would've needed an ice pick
The look on your iris, they weren't so lifeless
Remember them good times we had
They were priceless
Damn, did I fuck you up that bad?
You was crying when you saw me, I guess I expect that
I'm trying to calm you down, don't feel bad
But I don't even know where my head at
Yeah, I guess I better if I fly away
Its hard to cope with the pain, I wanna die today
I'll find a fucking hideaway to hibernate
I sit and let this liquor wash the hurt
Like a tidal wave
And oh yeah, by the way
If I could take all the hurt back I'd find a way
I guess I'll pop another pill so I can sleep
And let my brains cook
Like I put my head inside a microwave
Yeah, now I feel like a loser
I knew all the wrong I was doing
I would lose her
Now I see the light, amen, hallelujah
But I'm stuck in my shit
Like I sit in cow manure
World went crashing when I lost my life
Ringing in my head, somebody turn off the sirens
She even talks to me
And I love her so bad
Now all I do is drown in your silence
(HOOK)
Sora stood there and smiled. He left through the portal and ended up at his house. He laid in his bed and smiled.
"I love you too, Kairi." He whispered.
He turned off his light and went to sleep, dreaming of Kairi and spending the rest of his life with her...forever.
