"Um, Kairi." Sora said.

"Yes?" She asked, cupping her hands and placing them on her thighs.

"I... um... well, I kind of... sorta umm... -"

"What is it Sora?" Kai asked, looking a little worried. He looked to the side of her and saw that they were far enough from the ocean, so he stopped rowing.

"I uh... I... uhhh..."

"C'mon Sora! Tell her!!!

His Keyblade appeared in his hands.

"I-I have somthing for you. So you have to uhh... close your eyes, ok?" Sora said. Kairi nodded in agreement and closed her glossy eyes while smiling. On the tip of the Keyblade, a light shone and suddenly, a peach present appeared in his left hand. It was small, pretty much weightless, and had a note on the top, attached to the red ribbon. He dismissed his Keyblade, then held the tiny gift in both hands.

"Ok, open your eyes." Sora sadi softly.

Slowly, Kai opened her eyes and looked at the small gift.

"Sora..." Kai said faintly. She took the gift.

"You shouldn't have. Really, you shouldn't." Kai said, looking up at him innocently.

"Don't worry about it. I hope you like it." Sora said, looking up at the orange sky above them. She looked at him.

"Anything you give me is valuable to me forever." Kai said happily. She then carefully ripped off the note from the ribbon, making sure everything letter was still in it's place, then read it to herself silently.

NOTE:

I know that this is kind of late, but at least you're getting it now.
When I cam back to you, I almost totally forgot about it. By the
look of it, i'd say you forgot about it too. Anyway, hope you like
it.

-Sora

Chapter 38: The Gift Inside Pt. 2

Kairi looked up at him, confused about what he had just written her.

"Sora... I don't understand." Kai said, looking straight at him. He smiled.

"Trust me, if you open it and take a look at the gift inside, you'll understand. I promise you." Sora explained, with a sweet smile on his face. Kairi smiled back at him.

"Ok." She said, then put the small not to the side of her. She looked at the present then carefully started to rip the wrapping paper around it. When finished, she put the paper on the other side of her. Kai touched the brown box, then opened the little tab and lightly pushed the top of the box up. Inside, there was tissue paper. Kairi moved the light paper around a little and soon found something she had forgotten for a very long time.

Oh my god.

"S-Sora... this is - ."

"I cam back to you. I'm home." Sora said. A tear strolled down her left cheek. More tears began to develop. Sora could see with each second passing, her eyes grew a little more watery. Kairi slowly took out the star - shaped paper charm. She brought it to her heart.

He brought it back to me. He brought it back. I totally forgot about it. I feel so much better now.

She looked at him dreamily.

I'm so happy to be with him... and the fact that he's here with me... is so magical.

"Thank you... thank you so much Sora." Kai said with sweetness in her voice. Sora blushed a little.

"It's really no big deal." Sora said, really acting like it was no big deal.

"You're wrong. It is a big deal." Kai disagreed.

He's done so much for me. Should I...?

She took a look at the charm again.

Perfect condition. No crinkles, nor rips... he really took care of it for me.

"Um, Kai." Sora said. She positioned her head upright.

"Yes?" She asked.

"There's uhh... something else."

"What is it Sora?"

"Well it's uhh... kinda important." He said while scratching the back of his head.

"Ok... so what is it then?" Kai asked, holding onto her old lucky charm in both her hands. Sora began to sweat a little on his forehead, luckily, Kairi couldn't tell how much stress he was under.

C'mon Sora you idiot! Just tell her!

"Sora?" Kai asked questioningly. He looked down at the oars.

"I really don't know how to say this." Sora said nervously.

"Just tell me. Whatever it is... I won't laugh, promise." Kai promised. He took a deep, nervous breath.

"Kairi, I know that we belong in different worlds, but... I - I... I...I lo-... I lo-... I - I -I lo-." Sora said while trembling.

"What is it Sora?" She asked. Kairi moved forward in her seat, then took his hand. He looked up at her.

"Just tell me." She said with a little smile.

Her smile... her eyes... her hair... her touch... beautiful...

"All right. deep inhale. Kairi... I - I - I lo-..."

Here I go again.

Here he goes again.

She took her hand back, then moved back in her seat. She took the oars near his feet and placed them at her side.

"Let's just go back to the castle, ok?" Kai suggested. Sora looked at her, confused.

"O-okay." He agreed. She started to paddle back towards the island. Sora looked away in embarrassment.

I might be wrong, but... was Sora trying to say that he loved me? No. No, it can't be true. Sora and I are best freinds forever... right?

Once back on the sandy beaches, they both picked up the boat with all of their strength and brought it back to the shed on the side. Once done with that, Sora went back to grab his shoes, only a few feet away from him, but Kairi stood infront of the door, staring at it. She looked back at Sora. He looked at her.

"What?" Sora asked her blank face.

"I want to get one last look at something." Kai said, then turned back around, opening the old, wooden door. Going in, she avoided all of the spider webs. The stairs she went up were kind of squeaky, only meaning that they would give way any day now. Sora followed her up from a distance.

Damn it! I couldn't tell her! What the hell is wrong with me!?

Kai then turned the knob to the door up top, revealing a walkway, leading to an oddly shaped paopu fruit tree. She walked towards it slowly, trying to make that moment last forever. When Sora arrived at the top, he watched as she walked towards the old tree.

I remember... me, Kairi, and Riku used to always sit on that tree. We always thought the tree was oddly shaped, just for us. It was so much fun. Not only that, but that's where we came up with the raft plan. Honestly, I never really thought it would work, but as long as we were together...anything was possible.

Sora followed close behind her now. She touched the old tree, thinking of all the memories she, Sora, and Riku had here.

We had so much fun together... now I fear we will never be the same or feel the same when we're around eachother.

Kai looked up and saw one paopu fruit up top. She went around the tree and then climbed up the branch. Sora carefully watched her.

"What are you doing?" Sora asked her. She didn't answer back until she was half way up.

"I'm getting the last one." She said. The star shaped charm flew out of her pocket, going towards Sora. He caught it, then looked at it once more.

I remember that day too. Back at Traverse Town... we've gotta go there someday... just us.

She finally got to the point of the tree where she could reach the fruit. One of her hands held onto the tree while her other reached out for the star shaped fruit.

"Be careful!" Sora yelled.

"Don't worry, i'll be fine!" She yelled back. Soon, she touched the fruit with her hands, grabbing it lightly so it wouldn't bruise. She pulled it off, moving part of the green leaves out of her way. She looked down, with the fruit at hand.

"Got it!" She said happily with a smile, then climbed down, cautiously. She soon jumped off the trunk, scaring Sora a little. She looked at him, showing off what she'd got.

"The last one!" Kai said. Sora was proud of what she had just attempted. She jumped onto the trunk of the tree again and sat down. She looked at him.

"C'mon, there's room here for you too." She said. He went around the tree, jumping up beside her. He looked at her, then the fruit.

"So..." Sora said faintly.

"Oh, c'mon isn't it obvious? We're gonna share this. I mean, we haven't really had anything today, so we need to eat. So I picked this out." She explained. Sora looked at her as though she had forgotten something very important about this fruit they were about to eat together.

"Uh, Kai. Don't you know that when two people share this their-."

"Their hearts become intertwined. I know. But that's just a myth. It's not real... and if it is... then i'm one lucky girl to be with the likes of you." She said while giggling. She broke off one side of the friut, and passed the rest onto Sora.

"Eat up." She said happily, then looked at the setting sun. He did the same. She took a bite out of the fruit, mesmorized by it's sweet taste.

I haven't had this in so long! It taste so good.

Sora took a bite of the fruit, making Kairi laugh because she saw some of the juices. Apparently, he hadn't notice.

"What?" He asked, a mouth full of the paopu fruit. She began to laugh, then pointed to her face, showing where the drippings of the fruit were going. He wiped the opposite side of his face, which made Kairi laugh even harder.

"Sora you lazy bum." She said while laughing. She took the remaining fruit and placed it on her thighs. Kai then placed her hands in the middle of them, looking at him. He looked back.

"What now?" Sora asked, trying to wipe his face.

"Stop." Kai told him. He stopped waviing his arms around his face. She motioned herself closer and without and without thinking, kissed him lightly. Sora's eyes opened wide, but then soon closed as he placed his right hand around her neck, making the kiss more passionte. After a few seconds, they both pulled back a little, heads still together, breathing heavily.

"That... was the stickiest kiss i've ever had." Sora said. This made Kairi giggle. She then returned back to his lips, kissing him again.

We must never tell the others that we're now together... never...

And every time
I see your face,
The ocean heaves
Up to my heart.
You make me wanna strain at the oars,
And soon,
I can see the shore...
