After this next chapter, I will begin incorporating some NEW Disney Worlds into the story. You will NOT see this first Disney world coming, I'm assuring this ;) Make sure you like and review so I know you want me to continue writing the story.
By the way, the title of the story is somewhat taken from Pride and Prejudice. I thought it was clever at the time, but maybe not :)
Also, I forgot to include this in the first to chapters, but I do NOT own any of the Kingdom Hearts and Disney characters in this story. All belong to Square Enix and Disney. I only own Krissa.
That feeling…it felt…nice…cool…caring
It was dark…a cave…? The ground she was lying on was soft, though. Krissa awoke seeing Riku kneeling down above her while he dabbed her face with a cool damp cloth.
"Where…are we…" she softly asked.
"This used to be our secret place. My friends and mine I mean. You needed out of the heat, and we're right near the stream." Riku gave Krissa a glass of water from the stream. It was the coldest and freshest water she had ever tasted.
"May I ask how you got here?" Riku asked. "Do you remember anything?"
"No. Well…I just remember I was walking to class. I was running late, and I remember I thunderstorm coming. But…something about it wasn't normal, and these creatures…little black…yellow eyes…"
"Yellow eyes…" Riku interrupted. He knew all to well what was going on. Something was wrong. He had the feeling a dark plot was beginning to form, and he had a hunch that a person…no, a dark being from his past was making its way back for revenge.
"Everything around me got blown around, destroyed. I don't know what's come of my campus, or all the people there." Krissa began to panic in her mind, though she tried not to let it show on the outside. She was not the type of person to show her emotions easily towards even those closest to her, much less to a complete stranger. Still, something about Riku's presence comforted her. She felt…safe. "My friends, my family, I don't know if that storm hit where they're at…" Krissa closed her eyes, still exhausted from her ordeal.
"Don't worry," said Riku. "We'll look into it. Try getting some rest."
Krissa nodded before drifting off once more. Riku knew that Sora and himself had to look into this. This being that radiated in darkness disappeared shortly before the thirteen parts of Xehanort fell to the seven Guardians of light. It was only a matter of time before she returned…
"Sora you really overdid yourself. That place was delicious. But it was way too much!"
"Kairi, nothing will ever be to much for you," stated Sora. He looked at Kairi with love in his eyes. She was wearing a turquoise sundress that went well with her brownish/reddish hair, which now fell midway down her back. She looked beautiful.
The couple continued to walk down the beach. After dinner, they had returned to the island where they had played when they were younger. A lot of memories had taken place here. The sun was setting, making it a gorgeous evening. It was the perfect place to ask the question.
"Kairi…we've been through a lot. And you've stayed the same person for as long as I've known you. That aura of sweetness about you, you're radiance…" Sora paused, looking for the right words. "Kairi…I love you…"
"Sora…" Kairi muttered, holding back tears. She had a feeling about what was coming. As Sora was beginning to kneel down…
"SORA!"
Sora looked behind him to see Riku sprinting towards him. "Riku, can't you see that I'm busy?!" He tried to hold back the irritation in his voice. Sora looked at his friend, knowing something was not right. "Riku, what's wrong?" He knew that Riku would not have interrupted this moment unless it was something really important.
"This girl, she washed up on the beach. Or landed here, I don't know. Anyways, based on what she's told me, her world has fallen into darkness. There were heartless there too."
"Darkness? Heartless?!" exclaimed Sora. "I thought that was all over with when we made sure Xehanort was history.
"You-Know-Who is still out there, though." Said Riku.
"That means…LOOK OUT!" Kairi didn't have time to finish. Heartless had suddenly popped up around them.
"HEARTLESS," Sora screamed. All three of them summoned their keyblades, working together to get rid of them. They fought them all until the last one faded.
"We need a plan," said Sora.
"Right," Riku chimed in. "Kairi, go to the cave and check on Krissa. She'll be there resting. Stay here and protect the islands just in case more Heartless show up." Kairi nodded. "Sora, we need to go talk to Mickey, he may know what's going on."
"Right," said Sora. "Kairi," he said, grabbing both of her hands. "This isn't over."
Sora and Riku summoned their armor and their gliders and took off while Kairi watched until they disappeared.
Another flash of light engulfed Krissa as she slept. As this happened, a keyhole appeared. Her arm instinctively shot up while her mysterious sword popped into her hands. A beam of light shot out of it, and she disappeared once more.
