Here's the next chapter. Enjoy
Short, I know. But I'm planning something special for the next chapter. And to do that this one has to be short. Besides, me having Sora and Kairi talking intimately in bed ought to make it up to you.
Dawn will always rise chapter seven: Love you, love me.
Sora walked out of the throne room and shot towards the portal to the human world. He stepped through the portal and waited for Kairi. When she finally arrived Sora opened a Dragon's Tear to Disney Castle. They stepped through and the Dragons Tear led to the library. Sora looked around and saw that the room was completely empty. He and Kairi roamed the corridors for Mickey but could not find him. When they had searched the entire castle Sora led Kairi to the one place not part of the castle. The Hall of the Cornerstone. Sora walked down the throne room and pressed the button to open the stairway. The stairway lowered down and a bright Light flooded the room. Sora covered his eyes and walked down the stairs. Kairi followed him down and they walked into the Hall of the Cornerstone. Mickey and Minnie stood in front of the Cornerstone of Light with their backs to Sora and Kairi. The Cornerstone glowed faintly, with hues of black swirling around inside. Sora walked forward and touched the Cornerstone with his right hand. "What happened?" Mickey and Minnie jumped and turned to Sora. Minnie walked gracefully towards Kairi and examined the tears in her clothing, Mickey looked at Sora up and down and nodded grimly. "You have grown, both in maturity and strength. I'm impressed. What happened? Did you find them?" Sora explained what had happened on their mission. He explained about Danny, his training and his encounter with Vlad. "I had Vanitas train Danny and he did, he trained him in using Darkness. He tried killing me but I knocked him out. Kairi stopped me from killing him and I left. He tried to kill her but fled when Kairi overwhelmed him. We killed the soldiers and found out that their calling themselves the Brotherhood."
When Sora was done explaining Kairi approached Mickey and voiced her concern. "What about Danny? I tried tracking him but I lost him. I defeated him but I know he'll return for revenge. He'll stay away from me now, but in time he will try killing me again." Mickey crossed his arms and looked at the Cornerstone. "You know, this might not be so bad. Danny knows he's weak, he will try and find people stronger than him and try to kill them. But the only ones strong enough to defend against him is the Brotherhood. He'll fight for us, even though he wouldn't know that. He will grow stronger, but he will thin out their numbers, we should be grateful for that." Mickey looked back at the Cornerstone and frowned. He turned to Sora and pointed at the Cornerstone. "Sora I need your help. The Cornerstone was corrupted recently, its growing weaker. Before long, Heartless will begin to attack the castle. Can you drain the Darkness and replace it with Light? Vanitas can absorb Darkness and make it his own, can you ask him?" While Mickey talked Vanitas split from Sora and summoned his keyblade. "Sure, it'll make me stronger." Vanitas raised his keyblade and a dark light glowed at the tip. The beam of light shot towards the Cornerstone and began draining the Darkness within, while Vanitas absorbed the Darkness he pointed his palm towards Sora and he drew in some of Sora's Light. As Vanitas drained the Darkness away he replaced it with Sora's Light. When the Darkness was completely absorbed Vanitas dismissed his keyblade and stopped draining Sora of his inner Light. "You're welcome. Now leave me alone, I busy. Sleeping that is." Vanitas walked towards Sora and walked into Sora's body.
Sora could feel Vanitas absorbing the Darkness he had drained from the Cornerstone. As he absorbed the power Sora did the same, his heart filled with Darkness and he pressed it back into Vanitas. Sora sat down and waited for his strength to return, he looked at the Cornerstone and saw its white glow grow stronger. As the power of the Cornerstone increased so did Sora. Sora stood up and placed his hand on the Cornerstone, he felt his own inner Light swirling inside the crystal orb.
Mickey ushered the couple up to their room to rest. "Come see me tomorrow morning. In the mean time, rest and recover." Sora and Kairi went to their room and took a shower. When they were done they put on comfy robes they had found in the closet. They went to the castle kitchen and ate a snack. When their bellies were full they went out into the sunlight and lay down in one of the flowerbeds. They lay there for hours, looking up at the clouds. When the sun set they decided to head into town for something to do. They roamed the town looking for something to do, they stumbled across a theatre and Kairi decided they had to see it. When they were done Sora led them to a small coffee shop he had seen on their way to the theatre. A petite waitress ushered them in and they sat down, the waitress brought them the menu and Sora ordered coffee, Kairi did the same because they decided because it was a coffee shop they were compelled to have coffee. They looked at the people in the shop while they waited for their coffee to arrive. When the coffee did arrive Sora ordered a sweet lemon cake, Kairi did the same and they ate it slowly, savouring the taste. When they were done they left the shop after giving the waitress an enormous tip.
Sora and Kairi wandered the streets until late that night, enjoying the peace and each other's company. They took their time going back to the castle and crawled into bed together. Sora kissed Kairi and she closed her eyes. Sora could feel Kairi's heart slow and her breath deepen, she fell asleep in his arms and he closed his eyes as well.
Kairi woke up and rolled on her side, she felt resistance and she opened one eye. Sora was the resistance she had felt, he had his arms wrapped around her with her head resting on his shoulder. She closed her eyes again and tried falling asleep again but Sora's body warmed her up so much that she could hardly breathe. She tapped him and he opened his eyes, she smiled at him and squirmed. Sora opened his arms and she slid further away from him, she took his hand in hers and squeezed. He squeezed again and closed his eyes. "I love you Kairi." Kairi froze and pulled herself closer to him. "I love you too." Sora smiled and drew her closer to him. Kairi rested her head next to his and fell asleep.
Sora woke up with the sun shining full in his eyes, he rolled over and heard a muffled scream. He opened his eyes and saw Kairi beneath him, squirming and struggling to breathe. Sora lifted himself and Kairi relaxed again. He shook her and she opened her eyes. "Time to get up Kairi." Kairi moaned and Sora shook her again, he rolled off the bed and took a shower. When he was done Kairi went into the bathroom and readied herself. She stepped back into the room with her armoured clothes and boots. She had decided to leave her gloves off so that everyone would see the rune adorning her palm so Sora did the same. She walked out of the room and headed towards the library.
Sora looked back on this morning later and wondered how it could have gone so wrong. From a normal day to a day straight out of his worst nightmare.
