Chapter 3

Where Could He Be?

Taking in a deep breath Donald asked, "So do you know where he went?" Donald just finished explaining to Leon and the gang what has been going on since the last time they saw them. He told them every thing, how they met up with the king at Twilight Town, how they found the 'World that Never Was', about Xemnas, about Ansem, and about what Sora did and how he disappeared, all in one lengthy sentence that only Donald could do. Surprisingly they understood him and Riku and Kairi well lets just say they where there and they still had no idea what Donald was saying.

"So you're saying you have no idea where Sora is?" Leon asked looking puzzled almost.

"No idea that's why we came here to look for him. We thought one of you might have known something." Donald said with worry in his voice he knew Sora wasn't here they would of stopped his explanation when he got to the part about Sora missing. They looked at each other with worried looks on their faces each shaking their head no.

"Sorry we have no idea what could have happened to him." Leon finally said, "Have you checked Destiny Island?" Cid suggested.

The travelers looked at each other with odd expression on their faces one that could only be interpreted as DUHH! "Thanks for the help that's where we're going next I suppose we'll tell you if we find him or if we don't Bye!" they said as they where leaving.

"Funny lot don't you think?" Cid asked his friends.

"Yup, they sure are. Every single one of them, do you think that's that keeps them tight?" Yuffie asked them.

Leon shrugged "What ever it is it's the thing that keeps them all going."

"Yup, that's right, I wonder what would happen if well you know Sora died or something? Do you think the rest of them would be alright?" Cid asked the others. They all just looked at each other.

"We will probably never know until it happens right?" Aerith asked them looking around. They were all nodding their heads in agreement.

"I can't believe we didn't try there first." Kairi was saying excitingly "I mean if he went anywhere it would be there wouldn't it Riku?" She said turning her head to look at him. She was leading the way as the others followed. Donald and Goofy were talking amongst themselves just as much as Kairi was, and Riku was just staring at his feet. King Mickey wasn't with them he had business elsewhere and promised to meet up with them at the ship. So Kairi, Riku, Donald, and Goofy went looking for Leon and the others.

"Riku?" he looked up to see Kairi looking at him and Donald and Goofy now walking in front of them. They were far enough not to hear Goofy but Riku guessed you could never be far enough not to here Donald. "Riku are you alright?" Kairi was still looking at him worried.

"Ya I'm fine Kairi." Riku said averting his eyes back down to his feet. He sure isn't like Sora Kairi thought to herself he's so sad but why? It's not like we're not going to find him or anything-

"Kairi?" Riku interrupted her thoughts.

"Hmm?"

"Do you really think we'll find him? I mean, I' just worried you know. I mean I've always known where Sora was when I wanted to lately and-"

"Well how do you think I've been? I've waited a little over a year trying to figure out where you two where. Not knowing if you're alive or dead! Riku It's enough to drive anyone insane." she said on the verge of tears.

"Oh Kairi I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm just worried; I shouldn't have done that to you." He said staring at the girl who was about to cry.

"Ya well if you can't talk to your friends who can you talk to, Right?" Kairi said after a moment whipping the stray tear that fell down her cheek. "Common wherever Sora is he must be waiting so let's go get him together ok?"

"Ya, that sounds good to me." Riku said looking at the stars. Wherever you are, I will find you Sora I promise.
