Chapter 7

Two months later

Kairi's Pov

I hang out with Riku a lot and even though he hasn't agreed to help me, he still tries to do anything that will help Sora understand. As for Sora and me, we don't talk that much because he hangs out with Sarah. It's like an on going war between us. But I love him more than anything. He is and always will be my best friend.

"Riku I'm going to go see Aerith." I yelled.

"Why don't you just go with Sora? He's going to Traverse Town too." Riku yelled back.

"Okay, I'll see you later." I waited in the garage for Sora. He came a minute later.

"Kairi, you can't keep forgetting your guns." He said disapprovingly. I smiled smugly.

"Sorry." We climbed into the Gummi ship and sped off to Traverse Town.

In Traverse Town

Same Pov as before

We got to Traverse Town and I looked for Aerith but I didn't see her. She was usually near Cid's shop. Aerith was my best friend that was a girl. I would come visit her at least three times a week. I pulled on Sora's arm to stop him from walking away.

"Sora, I don't see Aerith." I said.

"Oh, well Cloud came home, so they're probably together." I felt a surge of jealously. Why could Aerith get the guy she wants but I can't get mine? Sora walked forward and I clung to his arm but he didn't seem to mind. We got into Cid's store and Sora got a couple of thing and we got out. We were about to leave when Aerith came running to us. I was about to say something, but Aerith started talking.

"Sora, the stars are going out in groups now." She said. "And Cloud and Leon want to go hunt the heartless down." She said. I looked up at the sky. So that's why the pains I get when the world's go out were getting worse and worse.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I'll go tell Donald, Goofy and Riku and we'll be right up." Sora said and I looked at him.

"I'm coming to." I said. Sora can't just leave me! What if something happens to him!?

"Kairi, you can't come."

"Why not?! I can fight can't I?"

"Yes, you can, but I wouldn't want you to get hurt or captured." Sora said. Did he just say he didn't want me to get hurt?

"I can take of myself." I said. I didn't want Sora to get hurt either. Sora shook his head. I pouted.

"Fine!" I snapped and walked to the Gummi Ship.

Sora's Pov

Kairi walked off and I smiled. She can be so stubborn. I turned back to Aerith.

"Tell everyone to be ready to leave in two hours. Aerith, I'm sorry I have to take Cloud from you when he just got here."

"It's okay, he'll come back." She said. I turned to leave when Aerith tapped my back and i turned around to face her.

"Kairi…she…" Aerith sighed.

"What? What about Kairi?" I asked.

"She needs you." Aerith said and walked away. I stared back at Kairi who was standing near the Gummi Ship with a pout on her lips. What do you mean Aerith? I'm right here! If Kairi needs me for anything, I'll be right here! I was so confused. I walked over to Kairi.

"Are we leaving or not?" She asked angrily. I nodded.

"When we're about to leave, you should stay up here with all the other girls." I said and Kairi looked at me.

"What do you mean other girls?" She asked.

"You, Yuffie, Tifa, and Aerith. We don't want to worry about you." I said.

"But…we can fight…we can help Sora!" She wailed. I sighed.

"Kairi, please think about it! What if something happens to Aerith? How would Cloud feel?" I asked. She looked down and nodded.

"The same way you would feel if something happened to me." She said. Yes, Kairi. Finally you understand.

"Yeah, the same way." I said softly. Kairi looked up at the sky.

"All the world's are going out." She said and I snapped my head up. It was true. I group of worlds were starting to loose their light. This was a really a really big group. I hope Kairi doesn't pass out like she did the first day we met. Just then Kairi doubled over in pain and in the next second she passed out. But before I could help her she ascended into the sky. I looked up and so did everyone else that was there.

"Look at her she's flying!" I herd one man say. There was a gold light surrounding her. What is going on? Then a gold beam shot out of her heart then the light that was surrounding her went away and she started falling from the sky. I caught her and looked at the sky. I saw a group of stars that were shinning brightly. Did Kairi just recreate those worlds? I looked down at the princess in shock.

I took her home and told Donald, Goofy and Riku about what happened. And then I told them about how we were going to go and save the worlds.

"We'll go get ready." Riku said and he left.

"We should go see King Mickey, he'll know what happened to Kairi." Donald said and him and Goofy went upstairs. So that left me and an unconscious Kairi. I sat there with her in my lap for an hour and then she woke up.

"How long have I been out?" She asked when she sat up. I put my hand on her back to support her.

"One hour." I replied.

"Wow, I've never been out that long before!" She said.

"Yeah…" I said and then I told her everything that happened. After I was done her eyes widened and she touched her chest.

"I can really do that?" She asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, you're one of a kind." I said. Jut then Riku came down and then stared at me and Kairi. I looked down at our position. Kairi was still on my lap and my hand was still on her back. Kairi jumped up.

"Hi Riku!" Kairi said as if nothing happened. Riku grinned and so did Kairi. Is there something I don't know about?

"Hey." Then he looked at me. "Ready to go?"

"Yup." I said and Riku walked over to me.

"Sora I need to talk to you." He whispered and Kairi looked over at us. Riku looked back at Kairi and smiled then he pulled me to the side.

"What is it Riku?" I asked.

"It's about Kairi." Why was everything about Kairi today? Why was it that if someone wanted to talk to me, it would be about Kairi?

"Yeah, what?" I said.

"Do you like her?" He asked.

"As a friend? Of course." I said.

"More than that." I shrugged.

"I don't know Riku."

"What about Sarah?"

"What about her?" I asked.

"Do you like her more than a friend."

"I used to, I don't know if I do now." I said and walked away. Kairi had been looking at Riku and me the whole time. I went to the kitchen and sat down in a chair.

Kairi's Pov

Why did Riku need to talk to Sora for? Was he going to tell Sora how I felt about him? Sora walked pass me and Riku followed but I grabbed his arm to stop him.

"Riku! What did you tell him? You didn't tell him that I…" I trailed off.

"No! Why would I? You're the one that should tell him!" He said.

"Promise me that you won't tell Sora that I love him." I said.

"I promise."

A while later Donald and Goofy came down.

"Ready?" Donald asked. Sora and Riku nodded.

"We should go see King Mickey." Goofy said.

"We can see him after. We need to go fight the heartless now." Riku said and Sora nodded.

In the Gummi Ship

Sora's Pov

I took a while to get to Traverse Town and so Kairi and I sat down and waited. Donald and Goofy were navigating the ship and Riku was sitting alone. Kairi was staring out of the window lost in thought. I should ask Kairi if she likes me or not. It seems like everyone else knows something that i don't.

"Kairi." I said and she turned to look at me.

"Hm?"

"Are you mad at me?" I asked.

"No…why would I be?"

"Because I'm not letting you come to help us fight." I said. I didn't want Kairi mad at me.

"Well…I'm a little upset, but not enough to be mad at you. I could never be mad at you Sora." She said. She could never be mad at me huh?

"Kairi, do you like me?" I asked. She raised her eyebrows.

"As a friend? Yeah, of course! Who said I didn't?" She asked.

"No one. But not as a friend. More than that." I said. She opened her mouth to speak when Donald said, "We're here." And we all filed out of the Gummi Ship.

Kairi's Pov

Sora asked if I liked him. Did he like me too? Is that why he asked? But why did Donald have to talk at the worse time ever! I was going to tell Sora that I loved him! But now, I'll never get a chance like that. We walked into the main part of Traverse Town and saw Aerith and Cloud talking and hugging. I saw Leon and Yuffie. Tifa was there too.

"Hey guys." Sora said and everyone turned to Sora.

"King Mickey is coming with us. I went up to the castle and told him what was going on. He aggreed to come." Leon said and Sora nodded.

"Hold on, let me get some things." Cloud said and left. I turned to Sora.

"Sora. Be careful. Please, for me." I said. Sora turned around. It was obvious that he was shocked with what I had just said. He nodded.

"I'll be fine. Don't worry." He said and then without thinking I hugged him and to my surprise he hugged back.

Sora's Pov

When Kairi hugged me, it was unsuspected but I welcomed it. To tell the truth, it felt good with Kairi in my arms, but I had to make a choice right now. I looked at the girl in my arms and I pictured the girl waiting for me back home. Right then and there I made my choice.

(What do you guys think?? Who will Sora choose? You won't find out if you don't review! No reviews, then no next chapter. So now you guys choose!)
