Chapter 4 – You make a good other.
Sora was so pissed with Roxas. He took his two favorite keychains, his cologne, his Paopu for Kairi, and now he had even taken his boat. He almost considered swimming, but then he remembered he could glide over. He ran to the spot where he had laid out the thlassa shell star. Next to it were four shells making Roxas' spike symbol. Sora stepped on them and kept moving.
He went to the secret place and hid in the darkness. He could see a single candle lighting the cave. He smelled the air and recognized his cologne. Roxas was here. He peeked inside to see Namine with him. You sly dog, he thought. He moved back for a second and stepped on something very soft. There was the Paopu. Sora picked it up. He hadn't squished it. He brushed it off and set it aside.
"Who's that for?" a voice said behind him.
He turned around to see Kairi standing there in her pink dress. He blushed furiously.
"Uhh, ummm, nobody. I had this in my room and Roxas stole it from me." Sora knew she saw right through his lie.
"Okay… and would that 'nobody' happen to be a girl by the name of, well just guessing, but Kairi?" She smiled. Sora really sucked at lying.
"Maybe."
"Well, there's only one way to find out." She leaned in and wrapped her arms around him. "Let's go to the Paopu tree."
Sora allowed himself a knowing grin. "Okay."
The two walked to the island and sat down on the tree. The little island pointed towards the sun when it rose. The horizon painted the rough water deep shades of orange and pink. Kairi laid her head on Sora's shoulder.
"Do you remember, when were 14 and we tried to visit new worlds on a wooden raft? The sun was just like this. I wanted to leave without Riku and just go with you." Kairi smiled.
"Yeah." Sora thought about it. How stupid we were. Thinking we could get to places like Twilight Town and Agrabah on a little raft.
"The truth is, I didn't want to leave without Riku because he had changed. I wanted to go with you and only you from the very beginning."
"Really? I felt the exact same way." Sora started to put the pieces together. Her reaction in The World That Never Was when she saw me again, the drawing of her giving me a Paopu back, she said that we'll be together every day, and she was the only one to remember me when I was asleep! Sora also remembered the letter in a bottle that she wrote to him. He had found out that sky translated to sora in Japanese, and the letter my have had a double meaning. "There are many worlds, but they share the same Sora. One Sora, one destiny.", and "We hope that our hearts will blend' were lines in the letter, which may mean she wanted something more between them.
"I love you, Sora, and I always have. I hope you feel the same way." Kairi audibly muttered.
Sora was dumbfounded. She actually said it. He was mentally paralyzed for a moment. And then his lips finally moved. "There is not a doubt in my mind, that I love you with all my heart." And they sealed it with a kiss.
Sora's heart did a backflip. It was his first kiss. He could tell it was Kairi's first too. Not that she was bad; something inside him knew she had been waiting for him. Something about it just sprung up a thought in Sora's head. This is truly perfection. I know now, without a doubt, that she is the girl for me. I want to spend the rest of my life with her.
They broke apart after what seemed like days of pure bliss. Neither of them wanted to stop, but there was one thing they had to attend to.
"Wow." They both whispered as they broke apart. Kairi returned her head to the space between Sora's own head and shoulder. Sora put his arm around her. They looked out at the sunrise and sighed.
"So, should we do it?" Sora was curious. He was 100 percent ready for it.
"I think couples should wait a while before that, but we can make an exception," She gazed up into Sora's deep, blue eyes and he looked back. They were ready.
Sora summoned his Keyblade, but something was missing. He looked down the beach. There it was. Lying right there, next to the waterfall.
"I'll be back in a minute." Sora jumped up and glided over to the secret place. He picked it up and brought it back to his new girlfriend.
"There. Now we can share it." Sora was just about to cut it, until…
"SORA!" Roxas screamed at the top of his lungs.
Sora and Kairi turned around. Roxas was down on the beach, running toward the island. Sora squinted, and in the distance, saw Namine standing in the entrance to the secret place, looking out at Roxas in shame.
"So that's where Namine was. With Roxas." Kairi smiled to herself and thought; two more happy couples on the island. She had woken up to find Namine gone this morning, with one of her bras missing along with a bottle of perfume Sora had brought her from Atlantica. How she loved that world. She turned to Sora, but he wasn't there. She looked down the rope bridge, and saw Sora dashing to face Roxas on the beach. She shook her head.
The boys met on the beach. Keyblades were summoned. Roxas threw his arms down one by one, summoning Oathkeeper and Oblivion in his hands. Sora rIsaed his arms up. They came down, Ultima Weapon in his right, in a regular grip, and Two Become One in his left, in an inverted grip, facing backwards.
Roxas made the first move. He crossed his Keyblades, and made an X-slash aimed at Sora's torso. "Paopu stealer." He muttered under his breath.
Sora pulled Two Become One forward, absorbing the blow from Roxas' move. He pushed Roxas back with the same Keyblade, and performing Strike Raid with Ultima Weapon, knocked Roxas into the ocean. "I picked it, you hypocrite."
In the flurry of steel, both girls began to worry about their boyfriends. Roxas got back up, jumped into the air, and used Final Arts on Sora. Oathkeeper and Oblivion came crashing into him, sending him flying over to Namine. He stood up after little struggle, looked over at her, and shot her a quick "Hey, what's up?" before getting back into the fray.
Sora jumped over to Roxas, running by him, quickly whispering; "Winner gets the Paopu." Before gliding over to the top of the seaside shack. Sora focused himself, and prepared Ragnarok. Beams of energy came flowing from the tip of his Keyblade, homing in on Roxas. He rolled out of the way, only to be hit from behind. Roxas fell over. Seeing his chance, Sora jumped behind him, waiting for him to get up. Roxas was on one knee, and Sora saw his window of opportunity. He performed Ars Arcanum to send Roxas packing. But Roxas countered just in time. He jumped up into the air to activate Magic Hour. Pillars of light came crashing down on Sora. He dodged nearly every one of them, until he activated his Final Limit. Bigger pillars came down, and Sora dodged all but the last. He got back up, the boys now exchanging equal blows. Somebody had to break the stalemate. There was only one move that could save him now. He focused himself, and imagined all of his power flowing into the Keyblade.
"Zantetsuken," he whispered. Roxas came running towards him, Keyblades held high. Sora waited, and waited, and waited, and then swung. One hit, and Roxas was sent flying.
Roxas landed on the shore, flat on his back. Sora knew the battle was over. He just hoped that Roxas was ok. He ran over to him as fast as he could. Namine was worried. What if Sora killed him? She ran out and stopped where the beach met land.
Kairi freaked out. Sora, you idiot! You could have killed him! She dashed to the opposite edge of the rope bridge.
Sora finally reached Roxas' body. Roxas sat up and gave Sora a scornful look. "Zantetsuken. That was dirty." His expression changed to a wide smile. The two boys began to laugh. Sora helped Roxas up.
"Sorry. Should have asked." And with that, Roxas returned Oathkeeper and Oblivion to Sora's palm. He also slipped the bottle of cologne into Sora's pocket.
The sun had made its full appearance by now. Kairi ran over to Sora, and Namine to Roxas. Both girls punched them playfully. "You idiots! What were you fighting over anyway?"
Sora picked the Paopu up. "Roxas stole this from my room. I guess I overreacted a little bit."
Namine interjected. "Well, I guess we'll leave you two be." She giggled and gave Roxas a stern look. They returned to the secret place. Before Roxas went, he reached up and picked a Paopu off the tree. He winked at Sora and Kairi and walked away.
Kairi grabbed Sora's hand. "Now, where were we?" Kairi dragged Sora over to the little island. Sora gave a contented sigh, like a boy in love, and followed her.
Ok, let's try this again. Sora pulled out his Keyblade to cut the fruit. He touched the blade to the skin of the fruit, and heard "So, you're finally doing it, huh?"
You will never guess who I'm gonna introduce in the next chapter! Well... maybe you will. Leave your guesses in the reviews, and after I get a few, or a right guess, the next chapter goes up.
