HotXbun: Okay. There next few chapters are going to be kind of fillerish, but sometimes you need a bit of filler before you get to the good stuff.

theCesar09: Yes they are.

PrincessKairi20: We'll just have to wait and see.

JETTA04: Thank you.

AnikaClousland: I hope so to.

TruSelf: Thanks!

Yurosoku: Yep. Not really clever that one.

Chapter 35 Never Apart

Kairi's POV

I slowly opened my eyes and began to look around.

I was in what appeared to be a hospital room. [Kingdom Heart Extra: Stop landing yourself in the hospital!]

I turned my head to my side...and I couldn't believe my eyes.

There was somebody who's head was resting on the edge of the bed...and that person was...

"Sora", I yelled before shooting up.

But as soon as I did...I had to clutch my stomach in pain!

This woke Sora up.

"Kairi", he said in concern. "You have to rest! You're hurt!"

With that Sora put his hand behind my head and he laid me back down.

Then...he put that hand on my cheek.

"Is it really you", I asked.

"It's me."

Upon hearing this...I couldn't keep in my emotions.

Ignoring what Sora had just said...I launched myself at him and held him as tightly as I could.

"Kairi", he said as he wrapped his arms around me. "What did I just say?"

"Sorry", I said. "It's just...I missed you so much."

"I missed you too Kairi", Sora stated. "But you're hurt. You need to rest."

"Okay", I said. "But you'll stay with me right?"

"Always."

With that Sora laid me down and pulled the covers over me.

Then...he kissed my forehead...and said something that made my heart race.

"I love you Kairi." [Kingdom Heart Extra: (Squeals).]

"I love you too Sora." [Kingdom Heart Extra: (Squeals again).]

With that Sora smiled at me before sitting in a nearby chair.

I smiled at him one more time before closing my eyes, hoping that when I woke up this wouldn't have all been just a dream.

One Hour Later

And it wasn't. When I woke up again Sora was still next to me...his hand still holding mine.

I smiled before poking his cheek...causing him to wake up.

"Hey", he said smiling. "How are you feeling?"

I was about to say 'okay' when I began to feel pain from my stomach.

"Does it hurt", Sora asked in concern.

I just nodded.

"What happened anyway", Sora asked.

"One of the Foreteller's hit me right in my gunshot wound", I revealed. [Kingdom Heart Extra: Read Chapter 33 to see what Kairi is talking about.]

This made Sora angry.

"Those jerks", he yelled angrily. "Why would they do that? What do they want with you?"

"I wish I knew", I replied.

"They're so gonna pay when they see me again", Sora stated. "But hopefully we'll never see them again?"

"Sadly...I think we will", I stated. "But don't worry, I'm sure you'll protect me if that happens."

Upon hearing this...Sora looked down sadly.

"I...I don't have my Keyblade anymore", he pointed out. "I'm not sure if I'll be able to protect you."

"Well", I started. "You saved me from the Foreteller's without a Keyblade didn't you? Who says you won't be able to protect me then?"

Upon hearing this Sora looked at me in shock.

Then...he smiled at be before putting his forehead on mine.

"You're amazing." [Kingdom Heart Extra: (Squeals again).]

"So are you." [Kingdom Heart Extra: (Squeals again).]

With that I removed my forehead from Sora's and smiled.

Then...I heard the room door open!

I turned my head...and saw a man, a woman and a little girl.

The man was wearing a black, long sleeved shirt; black jeans and black sneakers with white laces, white tips and white soles.

The woman was wearing a white top; baby blue jeans; baby pink sneakers with white laces, white tips and white soles; a baby pink, long sleeved hoodie which was unzipped and a silver chain with a fox head shaped pendant on it.

Her hair was straight and loose.

The girl was wearing a baby pink, long sleeved, woollen top with a silver fox on it; baby blue jeans and light brown boots.

Her hair was straight and loose.

"Sora", she yelled before running up to him.

"Hey Kit", Sora greeted before putting her on his lap. "I want to introduce you to someone. Kit, this is Kairi. Kairi, this is Kit."

"Mommy", the girl (who I now knew was named Kit) said excitedly. "Both of our names start with a K!"

"That's right", the woman said before taking Kit and putting her on her lap. "My name is Ava. Nice to meet you. And this is my husband Otto."

"It's very nice to meet you all", I stated.

"I've been staying with Ava and Otto ever since I escaped Xigbar", Sora revealed.

"And you are more than welcome to stay with us for as long as you need."

...

HotXbun: Now. You're all gonna hate me for this, but...that will be the last we'll see of Kairi for the next couple of chapters. Now you're probably asking yourself 'What?! But Kairi is the main character!' I know. But we have to take a bit from her story to focus on another plot line.

Challenge: Tell me what plot line you think I'm going to focus on.

My Answer: Not telling!
