Chapter Four:
Quick Explanations
Al opened the door to the spare room for Sora. "Here you go," he said. Sora walked in and glanced around.
"Thanks, Alphonse," he said as he sat down on one of the beds.
"Just Al."
"Okay." Al left the room, and Sora fell back onto the bed with a sigh, his feet still dangling over the edge. "And why were we brought here? Its not like there are any Heartless around, and no one is in trouble, other than Riku and me, as far as I can tell. So why? Riku and I just want to get home….to Kairi." With another sigh, he sat up and fixed himself in the bed so he could be comfortable. "Kairi….just a little bit longer…." Too tired to even take his clothes off, he fell asleep.
&&
Al and Ed looked at each other from their spot next to the wall that kept their room from Sora's. Kairi? Heartless? What was this kid TALKING about! And what was with him saying he and this Riku guy were in trouble?
"Al?" Ed asked as he stood up.
"Yeah?"
"What do you think a….Heartless is?" Al shrugged.
"I don't know, Brother. Maybe its like a….homunculus?" he suggested. Ed looked at him.
"I don't really know. Maybe we should ask him tomorrow. But for now, lets get some sleep."

Sora's Dream
"Sora!" Kairi yelled happily. She was standing on a beach at Destiny Islands. I was suddenly overcome with relief, happy that she was okay. She ran up to me and threw her arms around my neck. "I never thought I would see you again," she mumbled into my shirt. I put my arms around her.
"Kairi…." I said softly. She looked so beautiful, with the moonlight shining on her hair. I suddenly pulled away and looked at her with sullen eyes. "Kairi, Riku and I are stuck somewhere where you can not get to us. I don't even think all the magic in all the worlds will get you here. But….we're going to come home as soon as we can." Kairi looked at me with heartbroken eyes before turning away slowly.
"Just stay safe." That was all she said. She slowly started fading.
"Kairi!" I tried to grab her, but I couldn't. My fingers just ran through her, like she wasn't even there. "Kairi, don't go! C'mon, Kairi! I need you! Kairi! Kairi! KAIRI!"
End Sora's Dream
Sora's New Dream
I looked around the barren landscape as mist swirled around my feet. I couldn't see more than two feet in front of me. "Wh….where am I?" I asked out loud, turning in a complete circle. "Kairi? Riku? Anyone?" A familiar figure slowly walked out of the mist, and I got into a fighting stance, the Keyblade appearing in my hands. "Xemnas! What the hell are you doing here!" He laughed coldly.
"What am I doing here? HA! What is the great Keyblade Bearer doing out here, past the realm of darkness?" he asked with a smug smile. I glared at him.
"I…."
"You don't know, do you? Pft, leave it to you to fall into this realm without knowing it. Axel, the traitor, at least knows why he got placed here. As for you….well, lets just leave it at that, shall we?" I slowly got out of my fighting stance, although the Keyblade stayed in my hand.
"What are you talking about, Xemnas!" Xemnas didn't answer. He just started laughing again as he glided back into the mist.
"You shall find out soon enough…."
End Sora's Dream

Sora shot up in bed. He was drenched in a cold sweat, the sheets were twisted around him, and his breath was coming out in short bursts. "Oh God…." Sora said as he put his hand on his head. He realized he was still in his clothes, and sighed. "How absentminded am I?"
"Do you even have to ask?" a voice asked from the bed next to him. Quickly turning, Sora sighed in relief when he realized it was just a grinning Riku.
"You just had to scare me like that, didn't you?" Riku laughed slightly before sitting up.
"Well, it was kinda fun." Sora rolled his eyes before his expression hardened.
"Riku….I think something's wrong." Riku's smile disappeared and was replaced by a look of confusion.
"Why do you say that?" he asked. Sora took a deep breath before telling Riku about his dreams. The older boy listened carefully.
"….and then I woke up," Sora finished. Riku thought for a second before sighing and getting up out of bed. As he did this, Sora found that Riku had raps around his chest, leg, and arm. Before Sora could stop him, Riku grabbed his clothes and pulled on his shirt.
"We'd better go." Sora gave him a confused look.
"Why?" Riku didn't answer, he just kept on getting dressed. Sora got up. "Well? You gunna explain what you're doing?" Riku sighed as he pulled on his jacket.
"We gotta get out of here before someone gets hurt. That was Xemnas's way of telling you we were going to get killed if we don't keep moving," he said quickly. Sora's eyes went wide, and Riku pulled on his gloves. "Exactly. Now, lets go." Sora nodded, and walked over to the door (Riku was right behind him). He opened it….and was stopped.
"Going somewhere?" Ed asked in the doorway with a smug smile.

MKL: ooooooooooooooohhh, they got caught! gaaaasp! well, not really, since i wrote it.
93: ….i thought you were gunna keep going.
MKL: oh yeah! my bad. XP
&&
"E….Edward!" Sora stammered as he took a step back, almost running into Riku. "Wh….what are you doing here!" Riku looked at him.
"Who is this, Sora?" he asked. Sora gave him an 'I'll explain later' look, and he shut up.
"Wouldn't you like to know why I'm here?" Ed asked with a smirk. Sora nudged Riku and shifted his eyes past Ed. "That won't work. Al's right down the hall, ready to catch you if you run." Sora sighed. "So, what's the hurry? Got somewhere to go?" Sora glared and Riku just kinda stood there, watching with interest.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, we do," Sora spat. "Is there a problem with that?" Ed's eyebrows went up as the smirk disappeared.
"Maybe. Think you could fill the best friend of the person who saved your friend's life in on who you really are and why you're here?" Sora's glare disappeared and he sighed again.
"Riku?" He looked back at his friend, who shrugged. "Okay, fine. C'mon."
&&
"….and that's why we're here," Sora finished, looking right into Ed's disbelieving eyes.
"And I'm supposed to believe you because?" he asked with raised eyebrows. Sora sighed and looked at Riku.
"Me or you?"
"You can, if you want," Riku said boredly from his spot on his bed. Sora nodded and focused when he was sure Ed was watching. The Keyblade appeared in his hands in a furry of sparks, and Ed jumped back, startled.
"Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-" Ed stammered, taking a few steps back as Sora put the Keyblade over his shoulder lazily.
"Told you," Sora said as he sat down and the Keyblade disappeared. "Now do you believe us?" Ed's eyes were saucers by now.
"H-h-how….?" Sora rolled his eyes.
"I already explained this." Ed sighed and put his hand on his forehead.
"This….changes everything I've ever thought. Everything I've ever known." Sora sighed and walked over to him (he was sitting on Sora's bed).
"I know how it is. Riku….me….and many others had to go through it at one point in time or another. Don't worr-" Ed got mad and stood up, causing Sora to jump back.
"DON'T TELL ME NOT TO WORRY!" he yelled, face red. "YOU HAVE NO FCKEN IDEA WHAT AL AND I HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH DUE TO WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS BELIEVED! IF IT ISN'T TRUE, EVERYTHING WE'VE GIVEN UP…." Ed stopped as tears appeared in the corners of his eyes unwillingly. He tried not to let Sora and Riku see, but to no avail. Sora sighed.
"Ed, I think it's your turn to explain," he said softly. Ed wiped his eyes before nodding and starting his own dramatic story.
&&
Sora and Riku sat there, stunned at the story. And they thought their lives were screwed up! Ed didn't make eye contact with either of them.
"….Wow," Sora said in awe.
"Yeah," Ed said, looking down.
"You know," Riku said suddenly, making Ed and Sora jump, "I've got an idea. Maybe….we could all work together. Sora and me to get home, and Ed and Al to get their bodies back." Sora smiled.
"Yeah! Whaddaya say, Ed?" Sora asked as both turned to him. Ed paused for a minute before answering.
"Well…." He smiled. "Why not? I haven't got any leads. Lets work together."
