Chapter 4
The Journey Ahead
Around dusk, when everyone was inside, Sora snuck out on his house to go meet Kairi and Riku by the Highwind. It took him several minutes to pack, sneak out of his house, and row to the island. When he entered the Secret Place, the first thing he saw was the big red gummi ship. When he entered the ship, he saw Riku lounging in the rec room, but didn't see Kairi.
"Hey, Riku, where's Kairi?"
"In her room waiting for you, for some reason." The silver-haired teen replied, changing the channel on the TV.
Sora slightly wondered why she'd be waiting for him when he remembered what happened a few hours ago. He blushed at the thought as he knocked on her door.
"What is it, Riku? Is Sora here yet?" An angelic voice asked.
Sora was about to reply when he thought of a prank. When he saw Riku wasn't paying attention, instead listening to music, Sora mocked Riku's voice perfectly to play his 'ingenious' prank.
"No, not yet." Sora mocked, grinning. "But, I've come to make you mine, Kairi! I love you!" Sora said lustfully, meaning every word. He did love her.
"Riku! You know I'm in love with Sora! How could you say such a thing!?" Kairi asked furiously from right behind her door, only the metal separated them. Sora thought she had loved Riku, but had sex repeatedly with himself just to relieve herself, but it was more than that. She loved him!
Sora, wanting to see her, opened her door to see Kairi red-faced with anger, had her eyes closed. Sora rushed to her, grabbed her chin, and kissed her passionately. Her eyes snapped open to see Sora, not Riku. She then remembered how Sora would pull pranks on her by pretending he was Riku. She blushed an she broke the kiss.
"Did you mean it Kairi?"
"Yes." She said, her voice barely audible.
Sora turned her and kissed her again, this time with love instead of lust. She meeped at first, but then kissed him back. After a few seconds, they broke away.
"Sora," Kairi started. "Do you love me?"
"Of course! Like I said, 'I'll love only you.' You didn't think I was kidding, do you?"
"I did a little."
He wasn't surprised. He thought, that she thought, he thought she loved Riku, not him. But, like so many other times, she proved him wrong. After a quick hug and, for him, punch on the head for the prank, he left her room. He went to the control room, pressed a few buttons, and made he Highwind lift off, starting their 8-hour long trip to Disney Castle.
Sora left the control room and went to his room to take a shower, which Kairi joined him for. Riku couldn't help but smirk a humorous grin. He'd been listening to the whole conversation. They were both clueless, but they didn't care as long as they had each other.
