A New Keybearer
Chapter 2: Sora's Weakness

"Alright Kairi, let's see what you got."

Kairi fingered the wooden sword awkwardly. Looking back at Sora she let out a sigh.

"Sora do I really have to? I don't want to fight you and we both know you will win anyways." She was hoping her plea would work but looking at Sora she already knew what his answer would be.

"C'mon Kairi. We have to train for when the heartless show up again. You have a keyblade now so they'll be coming after you. Even though I'll be there to protect you I want you to be able to protect yourself. Now if you won't fight me I'll get Riku and you know he won't go as easy on you as I will."

With a sigh Kairi took up her fighting stance and charged at Sora while hoping that the surprise attack would catch him off guard. Instead he blocker he attack and tapped her head with his sword.

"You shouldn't rush into an attack before gauging your opponent's abilities."

Kairi frowned but then a thought popped into her head. "But Sora I do know your abilities. I've been watching you and Riku fight for the past week. If that's not enough time to figure out your strengths and weaknesses then I never will.

Sora put on his goofy grin and started rubbing the back of his head.

"Yeah, but with a normal opponent--" Sora stopped mid-sentence when he felt something hit his forehead. Looking down at Kairi he saw her smiling and he noticed that her sword was on his forehead.

"But you're not a normal opponent Sora."

Sora's grin grew and he moved Kairi's sword off his head. "Alright you got me. I guess I should start by showing you some moves first."

Sora and Kairi spent a few hours going over different styles of attacking. However no matter what Sora tried he couldn't find a unique style of fighting for Kairi. She seemed to be stronger with blocking rather than attacking but besides that there was nothing. Seeing that Kairi was exhausted he decided they could take a break. After they sat down Sora noticed Kairi's mood still hadn't lifted. He just didn't get it. She had to have a certain way of fighting. She can't follow through with an attack and her blocks weren't much better. So if you can't attack and can't block then there's nothing left but . . .

Sora grinned at his sudden revelation. "Don't worry Kairi. I think I have a solution to your fighting issues."

Kairi turned her head towards Sora. His smile grew bigger as he saw that curiosity was etched on her face instead of sadness.

"And what would that be?"

Sora's face brightened. "It's a surprise." Kairi stared at him inquisitively but she knew he wouldn't tell her anything else so she sighed. After a moment a thought popped into Kairi's head and she knew she couldn't pass it up.

"That's alright, I can wait. Besides I can beat you so heartless and nobodies can wait until later."

"What?" Sora was shocked by Kairi statement. "Why do you think you can beat me?"

Kairi grinned up at Sora mischievously.

"Because I know your weakness." If Sora was surprised before then he was astounded now. Not once had he ever shown a weakness while he was fighting so how could Kairi know one?

"And that would be?"

"Well it's . . . uh . . . here I'll show you." With that Kairi stood up, grabbed her sword, and ran further down the beach. "C'mon Sora attack me."

Curiosity driving him Sora grabbed his sword and ran down the beach. Kairi waited until Sora halved the distance between them and then she threw her sword down and started running towards him. After seeing her without a weapon Sora tried to slow down but was having difficulty because of the sand at his feet. Before he could stop Kairi ran into him and they met in a breathtaking kiss. Sora relaxed and he dropped his sword as his hand went up to Kairi's head. He couldn't decide whether or not this kiss was better than the one before. Last time he initiated the kiss but he liked this passionate kiss Kairi was giving him too.

Kairi moved away from the kiss at the moment and said "I win." Opening his eyes Sora realized he had fallen backwards and Kairi was now on top of him. Not wanting her to stop the kiss but knowing the awkward position they were in Sora was at a loss of what to do. His blush had started to come back and he noticed that Kairi's cheeks had reddened as well. He made up his mind.

"Kairi I think you should oomph." Apparently she had made up her mind as well because before Sara could finish his sentence Kairi began kiss him again. With her kissing him their position didn't seem as awkward as before and it actually started to feel . . . well he didn't know how to describe it but he didn't want it to stop. Sora leaned into the kiss more, causing him to roll over, which left Kairi underneath him. Sora propped himself up so his bodyweight didn't crush Kairi while continuing the kiss. Looking at Kairi he saw that while she seemed to be enjoying the kiss something seemed to be wrong. Stopping the kiss Sora looked her in the eye and said "Are you alright?"

Kairi blushed and looked away from him. "N-Nothing's wrong. I'm fine." She reached for him so he could continue but Sora noticed that she was shaking slightly. Understanding dawned on Sara at that moment. She was nervous. Kairi wanted to continue but the position they were in was making her feel uncomfortable. Sora inwardly sighed and he quickly gave her a chaste kiss. After all they could always continue later. If Kairi wasn't ready for this step then he wasn't going to force it on her. Sora sympathized with her because he was going through a torrent of emotions as well. One of the things on his mind being the fact that Kairi was right. Kairi was his weakness and he hoped no one else would ever figure that out.

Sora stood up and lent a hand out to Kairi. "C'mon Kairi we should really get you out of that sand."

Curious as to why Sora stopped the kiss she took his hand and asked "Why?"

Pulling her up Sora replied "Because you'll get dirty." Kairi scowled slightly but she decided to go along with his game.

"Well if I'm dirty then I guess we should go swimming." Kairi then ran over to the dock, sat down, and started taking off her shoes.

Sora followed her and when he reached the dock he said "We can't go swimming."

Kairi stood up and put her hands on her hips. "And why not?"

"Because I didn't bring my bathing sui--" Sora's sentence stopped as his jaw dropped. During his explanation Kairi proceeded to take off her dress to reveal a pink bikini underneath.

"Well that's alright. You can just swim in your pants." With Sora not thinking clearly he lamely replied "O-Ok" and started taking off his shirt. Throughout all of this something was welling up inside Sora that he couldn't explain. It started when he was on top of Kairi and it grew worse when he saw Kairi take off her clothes. It helped a little when Sora jumped into the cold water but it became worse as he watched the water hit Kairi's skin and how it clung to her after she dove underwater. Sora had no idea what was happening to him. All he knew was that the felling grew worse the closer he got to Kairi.

"Sora are you alright?" Sora was startled by this question as he that Kairi somehow knew about the feeling that he was experiencing. He began to desperately grasp at words to answer her question but failed horribly.

"No, I mean yes. Yes. I'm a-alright. Why do you ask?"

"Well it's just that you haven't spoken once for the past five minutes and your face seems red. You don't have a fever do you?" At this last question Kairi walked over and put her hand on Sora's forehead. Kairi's closeness caused Sora's face to redden more and the feeling he was experiencing began to grow even stronger.

"Your head is burning up. It might just seem that way because my hand is so cold but you look even worse than before. Maybe you should go home."

Sora didn't know what to do. He had definitely reached his limit. The feeling wouldn't go away and Sora couldn't take it anymore. He seemed to have two options. Either he could take Kairi's offer and go home or he would get even closer to her. Even though Sora couldn't stand this feeling that was welling up inside him a part of him wanted nothing more thn for him to be near Kairi again. When she moved closer to feel his forehead again, leaving her lips desperately close, Sora lost all control. He lunged forward and kissed Kairi with all of the passion he held for her.

Needless to say Kairi was astonished by Sora's actions and fell backwards. She landed on the sand soft enough and wasn't hurt by the fall. The waves gently came in on the shore as Sora kissed Kairi. The feeling had become almost unbearable but he didn't care. He wanted to keep going. He didn't want to stop. He--

"Ahem." The feeling disappeared in that instant as Sora looked up to see Riku standing on the beach with his boat in the sand nearby. Sora, realizing that he was still on top of Kairi, jumped off of her and preceded to pretend that nothing happened.

"R-Riku, what are you doing here?"

"Well your mom sent me to tell you to come home for dinner. She was surprised that you weren't back yet." It was at this point that Sora noticed that the sun was setting. They had spent the entire day on the island. "If you want to stay here that's fine. I'll just tell your mom that you were too busy laying on top of Kairi to come home." Riku darted off towards his bot, Kairi giggled, and Sora's face grew white in terror.

"Riku wait!"

Yay another chapter is up. I feel like the ending of this chapter is similar to the ending of the last chapter but I guess that's alright.

Plot is starting to come into play now. I don't think there will be any huge love scene or anything as the story starts to go from being more romantic to having more action. There are a couple of things important to the plot in this chapter though. The first one is the fact that Kairi is Sora's weakness, which will come into play later, and the second is Sora's solution to Kairi's fighting issues. This will come up in the next couple of chapters so keep reading.

Just so you guys know I do also publish this story on under the screen name amayawolf. So even though my username on is amayawolf1 I am in fact the same person. I didn't want someone to accidentally think I stole from myself. Anyways, I started this series a while back and I'm getting back into it again. I have the third chapter written, I just have to type it up, and I've started on the fourth. However I'm hitting a small writer's block. After I release the next chapter I would love to get comments from you guys on what you would like to see more or ideas for the next chapter. Comments in general are great. I'm happy I decided to release this chapter on because I've been getting great feedback from you guys. Thanks.
