Chapter 2

A moment of silence followed after the three finished reading the letter. Kairi was first to speak.

"So, when do you think the Gummi ship will be here?" She asked and scanned the skies as if she could already see it.

"Don't know, soon I would think The King said soon." Sora replied happily and looked up too, eager to see Donald and Goofy again.

"Reconnect the heartless with the nobodies?" Riku said, quoting the letter, "I wonder how that works out." He looked at Sora as if expecting a answer.

The sun was setting in a brilliant haze of gold and red. Kairi and Sora sat at the edge of the dock on the island, Riku was on the Cove, looking to see if Donald and Goofy had landed yet.

"Do you remember Sora? How we sat here the night before you went away?" Kairi asked.

"Yeah, you said Riku had changed." Reflected Sora.

"Yeah," Said Kairi with a nod, "but now we've all changed."

"Is that good or bad?"

"A bit of both I would think." Kairi smiled and laid back to look up at the sky, her feet dangled just above the edge of the water, Sora looked down at her, realizing how different she looked, not just physically but she looked a little bit stronger and wiser.

"SORA! KAIRI!" A voice yelled suddenly. Sora jumped where he sat and toppled into the water headfirst. A weight landed on him and he tried to breathe in as the air left his lungs. He splashed and pushed whatever landed on him away, coming up gasping and soaking wet.

"SORA!" Immediately Sora was tackled again by someone. Sora caught whoever it was and held them back so he could see them.

"Donald! Goofy!" Sora exclaimed and stood up, hugging Donald to him. Goofy tackled Sora again in a hug. They all fell forward onto the sand.

"Ge….f…me" Donald said as he was crushed.

Sora and Goofy stood up. Riku and Kairi were laughing at them from shore.

"Did you guys just get here?" Sora asked excitedly.

"Yup! At first we was wondering if we were at the wrong island, then we saw Riku coming over to the ship." Goofy said.

"They landed in a ditch of water and they couldn't get the ship out by themselves." Riku put in. Sora laughed.

A while later they all gathered around the Gummi ship. Kairi looked a bit worried.

"You okay Kairi?" Sora asked walking over to her as Riku struggled to push the ship out of the ditch.

"Won't your mom worry if we all disappear again?" Kairi breathed, she didn't know her parents and apparently had been living with Selphie. Sora shrugged.

"Maybe a bit but she should know I can take care of myself."

Kairi didn't seem so sure.

"She was so scared last time. She had called police and put up posters of you and Riku. To her it's like loosing two sons instead of one and his best friend." She reasoned.

Sora hesitated then grabbed Kairi's hand. He raced of to the dock and pulled her into his boat.

"Are we going to say bye?" Kairi asked.

"Yup" Sora replied.

By the time they reached the main island the stars were glittering above their heads.

Sora walked into his home still dragging Kairi and was instantly hugged my his mother and father.

"Sora! We were so worried! W-We thought you had gone missing again!" His mother gasped out with tears in her eyes.

"M-Mom! I can't- breath!" Sora choked out. His mom let go of him. "Sorry to worry you Mom, but…" He looked at Kairi, "We need to tell you something."

Sora's parents looked like the world had come to the end, the words that came out of Sora's Dads mouth haunted Sora throughout his life.

"Oh my god you got Kairi pregnant!" He exclaimed. Kairi and Sora choked and stuttered, backing away from each other. Sora went all red in the face, even his hair seemed to be red; Kairi looked like she was ready to die.

"WHAT!"

"Sora and Me!"

"Pregnant!- Dad are you both Insane!"

"I would never!"

"That's just WRONG!"

It took a while for them both to calm down, Sora could just see Riku laughing at them already.

"N-n-no! W-w-were going away again!" Sora said His parents re-coiled as if they had been hit.

"Why?" Sora's mom asked.

"We have to that's all! We came to tell you so you wouldn't worry!"

Kairi still looked shocked by what Sora's Dad had said and couldn't speak.

"Well… Sora Kairi… we'll miss you both! Id Riku going too?"

"Yeah"

"Well give him out best, and for goodness sake Sora check in every once in a while!" Thy encased Sora in a hug again Then they both hugged Kairi who was still red.

"Be safe." Sora's Mom said. With that they left, the parents waving to them as they got in the boat again.

They reached the island soon and made their way over to the ship in silence. Neither of them seemed to want to look at each other and Riku noticed that.

'Where'd you to go off to?" He asked as soon as they could hear them.

"Kairi wanted to have me say bye to my folks." Sora said simply.

"Sora, your face is all red!" Goofy exclaimed and pointed at him.

"No It's Not!" Sora yelled out and covered his face.

"Yours too Kairi!" Donald put in and Kairi stuttered.

"No it's not!" She yelled out. Riku looked at the both of them and seemed to be thinking about something.

"What happened?" He asked finally.

"N-nothing!" Sora replied.

"You've always been a horrible liar Sora."

"Say that again!" Sora threatened

"Seriously what happened!"

"Nothing happened!"

"Liar!"

"No!"

"Yeah!"

"No!"

"Yeah!"

"No- wait what are we arguing about?"

"How bad I liar you are, oh and what happened."

"Oh! Well nothing!"

"Liar!"

"GUYS!" They both broke off at Kairi's Voice. They whirled to look at her. A black portal had appeared right on top of her. She was being sucked into it!

"Kairi!" Sora yelled and dove for her, a moment too late. Kairi disappeared into the black abyss. Sora took a step towards it.

"No Sora!" Riku exclaimed, "You don't know where that goes to!"

"How can you say that Riku! I though I lost her once! I'm not gonna loose her again!" With that Sora jumped into the portal. He felt something grab him but then he couldn't see anything.
