Chapter Three: Confessions and Frontiers of the Heart

They moved to the top of the hill and laid side by side in the grass just staring up into the heavens. "It's amazing that we were just out there, somewhere," Sora mused, "One sky, one destiny, huh Kairi?" She held his hand and turned her head so she was quite close to his ear and hummed, "MmmHmm." That sent shivers through his body. Suddenly, he entertained thoughts of Kairi that he never knew himself to be capable of. I wonder what those lips taste like...If only she were a little closer... "Sora, my hand! Ow...watch the grip!" Smooth move, you idiot. You hurt her. Sora sat up in a shot. Becoming aware of his body and mind, knowing it's connected to his heart, had to separate from Kairi for a moment. She held his hand down tightly as he went to get up. He turned to look at her in shock. The corner of her mouth curled and something flashed in her eyes that he'd never seen before.

Do you feel it too? Kairi's voice echoed in his head, which was now fuzzy from champagne. Riku sat up with them, "You know, I'm exhausted, and your floor is looking pretty nice right now. Behave, you two...haha!" He got up and walked towards the back door. "Goodnight, guys."

"Goodnight, Riku," they replied in stereo. Sora watched Riku shut the door behind him.

He turned back to Kairi. Her face was so soft in the moonlight. He just stared, eyes bright as the stars. "Kairi?" She turned to face him, "uh-huh?"

"You know what got us home?"

"What?"

"Your letter...it's washed up in the bottle. I read it... and then the door to light appeared."

Sora stood up, motioning as if the door were right in front of them. Sora extended his hand to her, picking her up off the ground. He pulled her close. She could smell his essence she was so close. She nuzzled his neck and made him shudder. The energy was electric. He gazed down at her beautiful face, her eyes sparkling. Kairi bit her lip. He brought his lips ever so close to hers, stroked her cheek with his fingers, fixing his shimmering blue gaze upon her.

"The door to the light...it led to you, Kairi. You are my light."

A whisper of his name escaped her lips as they were silenced by his. This is real. This is finally happening... Kairi's lips were soft and warm. Sora's whole body sizzled, like earlier that day, but now it didn't just tingle. It burned. A passion he'd never known began to ache inside him. Kairi's head was spinning. She pulled away, breathless. They just stood latched to each other as they caught their breath. Sora just looked at her longingly, "You are the most important person to me in the world. Our hearts are eternally connected, and so are our souls, now that we are whole again...there will never be anyone that I belong with more than I do with you. Will you be mine, Kairi?" She held him tight and they closed their eyes, pressing their hearts close together. Kairi's breath was hot on his ears, "I am already yours, Sora, heart and soul...and someday, when we're ready, body as well."Sora's heart skipped a beat at her last few words. "Wherever you go, I will stand beside you, Sora."She opened her eyes and reached for him and kissed him. It was a seal on a promise.

As cool ocean breeze woke them out of their daze, Kairi noticed that she had really gotten Sora a bit worked up. Is that a keyblade in your pocket, Sora? She giggled to herself.

"What's so funny?" asked Sora, seeming a bit insecure. "Oh, nothing..." she replied looking downwards. Sora followed her gaze and it dawned on him what she was referring to. He chuckled and shrugged, "That's your fault, Kairi. You bring out things in me that I didn't even know I had."

Kairi smiled playfully at him and leaned in for another kiss. This time she caught his bottom lip with her teeth. Aha, button number one, pushed. At that, his tongue responded by brushing her lips lightly. A hum of delight escaped his throat as she gave him entrance. He was so gentle. Mmm, mango and...Sora. The breeze continued to fan the growing heat between them. It was so new, so long-awaited...She loved the way he tasted...smelled...felt. Sora broke the kiss wistfully, "We need to get to sleep, Kai. Everyone will be up so early to see everyone off." Kairi nodded as Sora added, "Besides, I don't want to rush this. It's so perfect the way it is tonight."

Kairi tugged at his belt teasingly. "Okay then Sora, let's get to bed." Sora stopped in his tracks. "Not like THAT, silly! Yeesh, where's your mind at?" she giggled. They went inside and upstairs. Riku was fast asleep, so Sora was exceptionally quiet while changing into his sleep shorts. Kairi came out of the bathroom in her cute little lavender short pajamas. Sora turned around and saw how cute she looked. Kairi had never seen Sora's bare chest, at least not in three years. All that fighting had definitely made him more muscular. Kairi was feeling awfully attracted to him. Sora hopped into his bed and pushed himself all the way back to the wall. He motioned to Kairi patting the spot next to him. "I don't know, Sora," she whispered, "as long as we make a promise to not get carried away, like you said earlier." He held his pinky finger, and they swore on it. She slid under sheets and lay facing him. "Your feet are cold!" he hissed. She laughed, loud enough to wake up Riku. "Kairi, I don't want to know WHY you're giggling up there, just be a little bit quieter!"

"Sorry." She looked back at Sora and they covered their mouths to stifle more giggles. "Goodnight Sora." Kairi leaned in for one more kiss. It was soft and sweet, and intoxicating...She leaned over more and rested her knee up across his legs. He was so warm. Her heart raced, she placed her hand on his chest and felt his heart pounding. She kissed his chest and trailed kisses all the way up to his neck, to his ear. This is insane; she's making me feel so crazy... kiss"Kai,"she paused at the sound of his voice, "We got to calm down and get sleep. Trust me; this new animal within me doesn't want you to stop…" He squeezed her bare arm. "But we have to." She kissed him softly once more and smiled and she rolled over onto her side so they could sleep spooned up together, and fell asleep to the feeling of their hearts beating against one another.
