Wow, I got so many reviews! Most people put this story on their fav stories list! I so happy! I'm glad people enjoyed this fic. I'd like to thank each of you!
Sorceress Yuna: You're my first reviewer! Thanks. Looks like you'll get more! (I'm on your fav
Authors! Whoo! You rule!)
Cronomaster: Thanks for saying that this isn't boring! It took a while to go back and forth from the computer to the PS2 to get all the quotes. Luckily, the computer is only about three meters away! Hope this story will still be good!
EdSweetTooth: I really loved the game, too! It didn't take me long to beat it! Yes, I agree that they didn't show much of Kairi. I hope I get her personality right.
One Winged Kuja: Yes, I will keep going. I wouldn't say that this story is that impressive. Maybe the idea is cool, though!
Tiger5913: There are way too many yaoi fics in Kingdom Hearts. The main couple was supposed to be Sora and Kairi. Come on people! Look at the carving near the door in the secret cave at the end! (if you saw the secret ending you'd see it.)
Dark Raion: Yes, I do agree. There are way too many Sora/Riku fics out there and not enough of Kairi in the game Kingdom Hearts. That's why in this fic she has a keyblade.
Chris: Wow, you love it? Glad to know that people are enjoying this. I'd also like to thank you for being my first anonymous reviewer.
Zero-Tribal-004: I found your review quite humorous. You were the one who made me get off me lazy ass and write. Hehe, you reviewed me on Halloween!
Phantazy: Wow, that's cool. Answering all the questions the same way. I made Sora pick the sword because he had a wooden one and give up the staff because he had no magic. Oh well, it's cool that we answered the questions the same way, except I was just trying to get what Sora would choose, not me.
(blank reviewer): Thanks for saying it was good! Don't know who you are but I hope you continue reading this.
Well thanks everyone. Most of this chapter will start out exactly how the game started, but at the close to the end Kairi finally get's her keyblade, I assure you! Now onto chapter two!
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, but it's so cool I had to write about it! I do own this fic and the plot, though! So don't steal it!
Chapter 2: Destiny Islands--- (Dedicated to Zero-Tribal-004 for getting me to write)
(no P.O.V.)
Sora opened his eyes to find that he was at the shore line on his island. He let out a big yawn and leaned back. Surprisingly, Kairi's head blocked his vision. "Whoa!" He screamed. Kairi had really surprised him. He turned to face Kairi. She kneeled down as he got up on his knees. She laughed at him. "Gimme a break, Kairi." He ordered.
Kairi stood up straight and replied to him. "Sora, you lazy bum," she started. "I knew that I'd find you snoozing down here." Then she kneeled back down. Then she stood back up straight and looked away, waiting for an answer.
"No! This huge, black THING swallowed me up!" He tried to explain. "I couldn't breathe, I couldn't--" He was interrupted by Kairi, hitting him in the head. "Ow!" He leaned down and then looked up.
Kairi kneeled back down again, putting her hands on her knees. "Are you still dreaming?" She asked. Sora immediately began to argue.
"It wasn't a dream!" He shouted, then he realized that it could have been. "Or was it? I don't know." He looked down at the sandy ground. "What was that place?" He asked aloud. "So bizarre..." Then he was again interrupted.
"Yeah, sure," Kairi said, making Sora look up again. Knowing that she wouldn't believe him, he changed the subject. She began to walk away a little into the water.
"Say, Kairi," he started, "what was your hometown like? You know, where you grew up." He asked, then swayed his arm.
"I told you before," Kairi said looking at the ocean, "I don't remember." Sora had always wanted to know what was outside his Island. He thought Kairi would at least remember something.
"Nothing at all?" He asked, hoping Kairi's memory would become clear and she would remember. He knew that it wouldn't, though.
"Nothing," she said smiling. Sora at least wanted to know if she really leave the island. She never really complained about it, but she never said that she wanted to stay on it.
"You ever want to go back?" He asked. He knew he was asking way too many questions at the moment, but he still wanted answers, after that weird dream.
"Hmm," she thought for a moment. "Well," she began, "I'm happy here." She decided, since she was happy.
"Really..." Sora protested. He knew that she did want to travel, but he never knew when she had wanted to go.
"But you know..." Kairi began, "I wouldn't mind going to see it," she said, smiling. She never would really put something down, especially her home.
Sora knew that he should help support Kairi's wishes, to make her happy. He always wanted to explore, away from this Island. "I'd like to see it too. Along with any other worlds out there! I want to see 'em all!" He smiled.
"So what're we waiting for?" Kairi asked while turning around looking at Sora. She blinked and then heard someone else's voice.
"Hey," Riku began. Sora and Kairi both looked at him. "aren't you guys forgetting about me? So, I guess I'm the only one working on the raft." Riku threw the log he was holding to Sora. Sora stumbled to get it, making Kairi laugh. "And you're just as lazy as he is!" Riku said walking up to Kairi.
Kairi put her hand behind her head and laughed. "So, you've noticed." She spread her hands out. "Okay, we'll finish it together," she said jumping up and down. "I'll race you!" She challenged.
"Huh?" Sora asked. Usually he and Riku would race together, not him, Riku, and Kairi. He decided that she could race with them, too.
"What," Riku argued, "are you kidding?" He asked. He had just sat down, and he didn't want to get back up. Kairi laughed at their remarks.
"Ready?" Kairi asked. "Go!" She shouted, putting her two hands around her mouth to make it louder. Riku and Sora both sprang up, running beside each other. Kairi ran after them, laughing.
After the race Sora went up to Kairi. "So, can you gather the rest of the supplies?" Sora didn't reply. "Sora, are you listening to me?"
"Yeah, I heard you," Sora replied. He didn't really want to gather the rest, but he knew that he had to help make the raft.
"Okay, here's what you need to go find: Two Logs. One Cloth. One Rope. Bring everything back here. If you need help, just ask. I'm counting on you!"
Sora left immediately, searching for the supplies. He found the first log near the shore line. Then he went up to Selphie. "Aah, the breeze feels great," she said. "What are you up to these days? We never see you." Sora wanted to keep it a secret.
"Wanna duel?" He asked, changing the subject. Selphie, he knew, always enjoyed the action in fighting, therefore, she forgot all about her question.
"All right! Now you're talking." After getting ready she said, "Okay, don't hold back." Sora first attacked her three times with his wooden sword. Then Selphie counter attacked, hitting him with her skipping rope. Sora went for another round of attacks. Selphie ducked out of the way, but she couldn't avoid the attacks. She slammed into the rocks and got hit again, bringing her Hp to zero.
"Oh, I can't believe I lost!" She complained. Then Sora went towards Tidus. He found some rope beside him. He quickly grabbed the rope and then talked to Tidus.
"Hey, Sora, you feel lucky today? Feelin' up to a little competition?" Sora, feeling up to fighting, agreed.
"You asked for it!" He said, smiling while taking out his wooden sword. Tidus put down his red pole, getting ready to fight.
"All right, let's go! You're going down!" Tidus ran up to Sora and attacked. Sora blocked and then sent him back with three attacks. Then Tidus attacked but Sora dodged and attacked him. Tidus went around him and stroke. Then Sora set another round of attacks, sending him back. Then he attacked again. Tidus was defeated. "Ow, man, I'm really off today." Then Sora remembered that there was a cloth inside the great tree. He climbed up the stairs and went up the ladder. He saw the cloth hanging on the wall.
After getting that supply, he remembered that he needed one more log. He decided to go to Riku and ask where the log was. From the great tree he saw Riku on the smaller island. He saw a log there instead of having to ask him. Then he decided to fight Riku.
"Did you get everything we need for the raft? I gave my stuff to Kairi. Hey, Sora, how about a quick round? Grab your sword."
Sora knew that he wasn't at a very high level, and that he would probably would lose, but at least he might get some more experience. "Okay, you're on!"
"The one decides the champion! Ready or not!" Riku jumped behind him and attacked him. Sora turned and counter attacked. Then Riku curled up into a ball and then fired. He only missed Sora be an inch. Then he put his sword up and began to block Sora's attacks. "My turn!" He shouted as he attacked Sora. Sora went for a series of attacks and then Riku curled into a ball again. This time his charge hit Sora, making him win and Sora lose.
"Man, now the score's zero to one!" Sora decided to give all his things to Kairi then, since he had nothing really to do.
"Thanks, Sora! I found something today, too. Here, it's yours." Kairi gave Sora the Hi-potion. "Tired? Want to call it a day?"
"Yeah, let's go home." Sora agreed. It had been a long day, and he was a little tired. He knew that the next day they could gather the food supplies.
"Okay, it is getting late. We'll finish up tomorrow," Kairi said, knowing that they still had to put the raft together and get the food.
*
"So, Kairi's home is out there somewhere, right?" Sora asked Riku. They were all sitting on the pier after their long days work.
Sora and Kairi both turned and looked at Riku for the answer. He didn't know any more then they knew, though. "Could be," Riku answered. "We'll never know by staying here."
Then Sora remembered something. "But how far could a raft take us?" He had a point. The raft could break down in the middle of no where.
"Who knows?" Riku asked. He still was unsure how to answer all of this. "If we have to, we'll think of something else."
"So, suppose you get to another world," she stopped and made a little giggle. "What would you do there?" She was curious, so she had to ask.
"Hmm," he thought for a moment. "Well, I haven't really thought about it. It's just... I've always wondered why we're here on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds... Then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could have just as easily ended up somewhere else, right?"
"I don't know," Sora said as he moved back. He laid down on the pier and put his hands behind his head.
"Exactly," Riku looked up at him and put his hands up for a second, then brought them down. "That's why we need to go out there and find out." He stopped leaning on the pier and got up. "Just sitting here won't change a thing. It's the same old stuff. So let's go."
"You've been thinking a lot lately, haven't you?" Kairi asked. He sounded like he hated the island that they lived on.
"Thanks to you," Riku began. He turned to face Kairi. "If you hadn't come here, I probably would've never thought of any of this. Kairi, thanks."
Kairi made a small nervous giggle, not knowing really what to say. "You're welcome," she said. Then they got off the pier and started walking over the bridge towards home.
"Sora," Riku yelled before he could get off the bridge. Sora turned around to face him. Then Riku chucked a paopu fruit. "You wanted one, didn't you?"
Sora looked in his hands to see a paopu fruit. He didn't know why Riku would give him one, though. "A paopu fruit..." Sora said, repeated what he was thinking in his mind.
"If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what. C'mon, I know you want to try it."
"What are you talking--" Sora began. Why would Riku give him a paopu fruit? Sora never really asked for one. Riku laughed as Sora threw the paopu fruit away and ran after him.

A large blue and white castle stood there. Donald began walking through the halls just like any other day. He looked at a broom holding two buckets, as if it were going to clean something up. Then he stood in front of a large, light purple door. Donald cleared his throat and knocked on the door. A little part of the door opened. He began walking on a red carpet.
"Good morning, your Majesty," Donald began, while bowing. "It's nice to see you this morn-- What!" Pluto came out from behind the chair with a note in his mouth. It had a green, Mickey Mouse symbol on it. Donald browsed through it. He found himself screaming down the halls. Then he ran up to Goofy.
"Wake up, Goofy, wake up! This is serious!" Goofy just snored at his remark. Donald cast a thunder spell on him to get him up.
"Hey there, Donald. G'morning," Goofy said casually, as if nothing were wrong. Donald couldn't keep this up.
"We've got a problem, Goofy!" Donald yelled. He knew he had to be quieter. "But don't tell anyone..." Donald whispered.
"Queen Minnie?" Goofy asked. He didn't mean that there was something wrong with her though, he had just spot her. Donald didn't know this, though.
"Not even the queen," Donald turned around. He shook his head. He almost looked proud that something worse then the queen.
"Daisy?" Donald again thought that he meant that there was trouble with Daisy, and it would be worse for him since it was his wife.
"No," Donald screamed, "it's top secret!" Donald didn't mean to say it so loud, but Goofy could sometimes really get on his nerves.
"G'morning ladies," Goofy decided to tell Donald in that way. Donald began to sound nervous. He turned half way.
"What?" He asked and then looked behind him to see one angry woman and Queen Minnie looking suspicious. He laughed.

Sora got up of his house and jumped beside Selphie. "Hey, Sora, have you heard about the legendary power of the paopu fruit? They say if you share it with someone you really care for... It binds you together forever and ever through eternity." She sighed. "It's so romantic. I gotta try it sometime."
Sora left and decided to go find Riku. He went through the cove and found him there. "Hey, Sora. Our raft still needs a name. Let's see... How about Highwind? What would you call it?"
"Me? Well... hmm..." Sora thought for a moment. Soon the name came to him. "Excalibur!" Sora almost shouted.
"Hey, how 'bout..." Riku began. Sora knew what he meant. They would always race. He still wasn't too sure if Riku meant it.
"The usual?" Sora asked. Almost immediately he knew that it was racing, since they always did it and it was a great way to decide who would get what.
"Let's do it!" Riku shouted. After saying this Kairi heard and knew exactly what they were going to do. She ran over the bridge towards them.
"You guys at it again?" She laughed. "All right, I'll be the judge. The usual rules apply: Take any route you want... First one to tag that tree and make it back here wins."
"If I win," Sora began, "I'm captain!" Then he took a breath. "And if you win..." Sora didn't finish.
"I get to share the paopu fruit with Kairi," Riku said aloud, almost laughing. This would be a good way to trick him.
"Huh," Sora said. First he gives him one and thinks he wanted one and now they will be racing to see who gets to share a paopu with Kairi!
"Deal? The winner gets to share a paopu with Kairi." Riku sounded like he was actually serious. This scared him.
He knew he didn't want to race for one, because what if Riku won. "He decided to protest. "Wha... Wait a minute..."
"Okay," Kairi began, before Sora could stop the deal. "On my count," she said. The two got in their positions and got ready to run. Kairi put her arm down as signaling them to leave.
The began to run. Riku ran over the bridge while Sora actually jumped off the land and walked through the water. He climbed up the stairs and jumped into the water once more. He went up the hill and then jumped from the grass lands. He tagged the tree and jumped back down. Then he ran past the raft and jumped onto the land and ran down the stairs. He was actually beating Riku! He ran through the water and jumped beside Kairi.
"Now the score's one to one!" Sora shouted and lifted his arm up. Riku may be stronger them him but he was faster!
"Man, lighten up. It's just a name, after all." This made Sora angry. He gave him a mean glare and left him, still thinking that it was cool that he won. Sora left Riku and found Kairi on their raft that they had built a while ago.
"Today we collect provisions for our trip!" Kairi said excitedly. "Let's see. Sora, you're looking for... One seagull egg. Three mushrooms. Two coconuts. Three fish. And fill this up with drinking water." She said, handing Sora a bottle. "But not from the ocean!" Kairi reminded him. "Bring everything back here. If you need help, just ask"
With that, Sora left on his search for the provisions. He first found a mushroom behind a rock, and another one under some bushes. He couldn't seem to find the other one so he began looking for the other stuff. He obtained three fish around the lake and some drinking water by the bridge in the cove. On the small island he attacked trees to get two coconuts and a seagull egg on the top of a tree, but he couldn't seem to find the last mushroom. He finally decided to ask Wakka.
"Me and Tidus, we are gonna do a little explorin' today." Wakka said as he turned to a bush in a dark corner. "You know, to the secret place at the base of that tree. There's gotta be something there, ya?" Sora almost immediately dashed off towards the tree. He went under and went through a tunnel that lead to the secret place.
Sora saw a big, brown door with a mushroom beside it. He picked it and then noticed some carving in a rock. It was a picture of him and Kairi together when they were little. He carved Kairi and Kairi carved him. They both did lots of drawings then. Sora touched the drawing, remembering how much fun he had had back then. Sora grabbed a rock and began carving something that he had never thought he would. He drew his arm holding a paopu fruit up to Kairi. Then he heard something. "Wh-Who's there?" Sora looked at the shadowy figure.
A man dressed in a brown cloak showed up. You couldn't see his face or anything. "I've come to see the door to this world," he simply said, not answering his question.
"Huh," Sora began, but couldn't finish. He could barley see the mans face. He seemed so... mysterious.
"This world has been connected," he said, still in the shadows. He didn't move an inch, making Sora very nervous.
"Wh-What are you talking about?" Sora asked. He hadn't a clue who or what this man was, only why he was there.
"Tied to the darkness..." He began, "soon to be completely eclipsed." It didn't sound like this man was here for good, it seemed as if darkness had been possessing him, and still was.
"Well, whoever you are," Sora began, "stop freaking me out like this." The man didn't speak. "Huh? Wh-Where did you come from?"
"You do not yet know what lies beyond the door." Sora picked up what this guy was trying to say immediately.
"So, you're from another world!" Sora got very excited now. He had always wanted to know what was beyond his world.
"There is so very much to learn," he said, changing the whole conversation. "You understand so little," he pointed out.
"Oh, yeah?" Sora began, fury filled him. "Well, you'll see. I'm gonna get out and learn what's out there!" He said.
"A meaningless effort," he began. This made Sora very angry. "One who knows nothing can understand nothing." Sora then turned back and looked at the door. Then when he looked back he was gone. Sora decided to forget about this at the moment and go back to Kairi so they could leave their island.
*
"This? I'm making a necklace out of thalassa shells. In the old days, sailors always wore thalassa shells. They were supposed to ensure a safe voyage." She put her necklace in her pocket. " Thanks, Sora! I found something today, too. Here, it's yours." She handed him a Hi-potion. "Tired, wanna call it a day?"
"Yeah, let's go home." Sora had to admit that this day was rather unusual. That weird man and how he actually carved something he'd never thought he'd do.
"Okay, tomorrow's the big day. We should rest up!" Sora and Kairi left their raft and went on the bridge to watch the sunset. Riku wasn't there with them this time.
"You know, Riku has changed," Kairi started. Sora didn't have a clue on what she was talking about. Maybe she thought Riku had changed, and he had a bit.
"What do you mean?" Sora asked. Why would Kairi bring this topic up? Was she mad at Riku, was he changing?
Kairi stayed silent for a minute. "Well..." She began, wondering how she would explain this. Sora interrupted Kairi's thoughts.
"You okay?" He asked. Kairi seemed to be changing now. She never really said that kind of stuff. This was probably new to her.
"Sora, let's take the raft and go--" She said excitedly. "just the two of us!" Now Sora knew that something was wrong.
So many questions began to fill his head. Had Riku changed? Who was that guy in the brown? Did he actually come from another world? "Huh?" He blurred out.
A few giggles escaped from her mouth. She couldn't help but laugh at Sora's remark. "Just kidding!"
"What's gotten into you?" Sora asked. "You're the one that's changed, Kairi." This made Kairi think more.
"Maybe..." she said softly. She actually seemed sad. "You know, I was a little afraid at first," she began, "but know I'm ready," she assured him. "No matter where I go or what I see, I know I can always come back here. Right?"
Kairi turned and faced him. Sora didn't want her to feel down so he said, "Yeah, of course!" But he really wasn't sure if they could always go back.
"That's good," she said as she turned away from him. "Sora, don't ever change." That had showed that she actually liked him the way he was. This let another 'Huh?' escape from his mouth. Kairi stood up and looked at the sky. "I just can't wait. Once we set sail, it'll be great."
Both Sora and her stopped talking and allowed the silence.
~*~
Donald, Sorry to rush off without sayin' good bye, but there's big trouble brewin'. Not sure why, but the stars have been blinkin' out, one by one. And that means disaster can't be far behind. I hate to leave you all but I've gotta go check into it. There's someone with a "key"-- the key to our survival. So, I need you and Goofy to find him, and stick with him. Got it? We need that key or we're doomed! So go to Traverse town and find Leon. He'll point you in the right direction.
P.S.
Would you apologize to Minnie for me?
Thanks, pal.
"Oh, dear! What could this mean?" Daisy said. After reading the letter they were discussing what they were to do.
"It means we'll just have to trust the king," Minnie said. They were all in a library. The floor had black and white boxes, covering the area of the floor.
"Garwrsh," Goofy spoke up. He scratched his mouth, as if he was thinking. "I sure hope he's all right."
"Your Highness," Donald said respectfully. He slammed his fist into his chest. "Don't worry. We'll find the king and this "Key."
"Thank you," Minnie said. It sounded as if she wasn't worried at all. "both of you." She said, since both of them were to help.
Donald knew that since he was leaving he should ask Daisy to take care of Minnie. "Daisy, can you take care of--"
"Of course," she interrupted him, knowing exactly what he was going to say. "You be careful, now, both of you."
"Oh," Minnie remembered, "and to chronicle your travels, he will accompany you." She pointed at the table but Goofy and Donald couldn't see anything.
"Over here!" A little cricket called. He jumped up and down so then they could see him. He stopped jumping up and down. "Cricket's the name. Jiminy Cricket, at your service." He took his hat off and bowed.
"We hope for your safe return," Minnie finally said. "Please, help the king." Donald again put his fist up to his chest.
Goofy then put his hand up to his head. "You're coming, too!" Donald yelled as he dragged Goofy with him.
Goofy, Donald and Jiminy went down a staircase. It was almost all black, save the little Mickey Mouse symbols that lit up. "Gawrsh, Jiminy, your world disappeared, too?" Goofy asked.
They all continued walking down the stairs. "It was terrible. We were scattered. And as far as I can see, I'm the only one who made it to this castle."
Donald started walking slower, then he came to a complete stop. "Goofy?" He asked. Goofy knew exactly what he was going to say.
"Oh, right..." He began. "I gotcha. While we're in other worlds, we can't let on where we're from. We've gotta protect the world border."
"Order," Donald corrected him. It seemed that Donald always corrected him when he made a mistake.
"Right. World order," Goofy corrected himself after hearing what he did. He would almost always corrected himself after Donald. Goofy laughed as Donald made a 'your so stupid sometimes' sound. They finished going down the stairs and walked towards the door. "I guess we'll need new duds when we get there."
Donald couldn't take it anymore. He didn't respond to Goofy's remark. They entered a big room with lots of machinery. There was a big ship in the middle of the room, known as the Gummi ship. Above it, was a control room with Chip and Dale inside. Donald walked up to a yellow horn and began to talk. "Hello up there? Donald Duck to launch crew! Anytime you're ready." Chip put her hand up to her head as Dale went around the room, looking for what he was supposed to push.
A big hand started to move after Dale had pushed the button. It grabbed a happy Goofy and a upset Donald. It put them in the Gummi ship. Then Pluto jumped in with them. A large Mickey Mouse symbol opened up, making Donald think that they were going that way. Daisy and Minnie came out to watch them leave. They looked quite worried. Donald stuck his thumb up and winked to show that they were going to be fine.
"Blast off!" Donald yelled, but for some reason, the Gummi ship fell down to the ground, making Donald scream.
~*~
Sora was laying down on his bed with his one leg over the other. He had been thinking a lot lately. He looked at a little ship with some dolls in it, making him remember that they were going to depart from their island to search for other worlds. "I just can't wait. Once we set sail, it'll be great," Sora recalled. Then he looked out the window to see that a storm was coming. "A storm?" Sora said calmly. "Oh, no, the raft!" He quickly got off the bed and out the window.
"Sora, dinner's ready. Come on down. Sora?" Sora was already gone, meaning that he was unable to have his dinner.
Sora was on the dock where Selphie would always be. He looked up to see some kind of portal, a dark portal. "What's that?" Sora asked himself. "Riku's boat. And Kairi's!" Sora turned to see Kairi beside him.
"Sora, what's happening?" Kairi asked, but Sora couldn't answer, for some dark creatures began to surround them. "Sora, they're from the dream!"
This caused Sora to turn and face Kairi. "What, you had the dream, too?" Sora asked. He lifted his wooden sword out and tried to attack one of the creatures, but the wooden sword didn't cause any damage.
"Yes," Kairi began, "I just had it tonight. Then I woke up and there was a storm, so I went out to check on the raft."
"Me too! Now, let's go." Sora grabbed Kairi's hand and rushed her towards the smaller island. There, Riku stood.
"Riku, what's happening?" Kairi asked immediately. Sora wanted to know, too. But he doubted that Riku knew what was going on as well.
"The door has opened..." Riku said quietly and slowly. Maybe he did know what was going on, what those creatures were and what the portal was.
"What?" Sora and Kairi said at the same time. Kairi was getting very nervous and Sora stood there, confused.
"The door has opened, Sora, Kairi!" Riku shouted while turning to face them. What door had opened, and how? "Now we can go to the outside world!" Kairi got a little excited but Sora stayed the same. "Once we step through, we might not be able to come back." Kairi stepped back. "We may never see our parents again. There's no turning back."
"Couldn't the raft take us?" Kairi asked. "We worked so hard on it. And, what if we can't come back. I don't want to leave forever."
"This may be are only chance to leave. We can't let fear stop us!" Kairi stepped forward, better to leave then to stay.
"Kairi, are you sure you want to leave?" Sora asked her, knowing that this was a very difficult decision, especially for her. Kairi nodded.
Riku lifted his hand up to Sora and let the darkness cover him. Sora and Kairi soon let the darkness take them, too. Sora tried to reach for Riku and Kairi, but could only reach her. Riku disappeared. Sora and Kairi found themselves trapped in the darkness, but then a small light began to grow stronger. They found themselves back on their island.
Sora looked at something he was holding that he hadn't seen before. He looked at it confidently, and then back at Kairi. She was holding the same thing he was, except different colors. Kairi's was silver with a purple handle, while Sora's was yellow. 'Keyblade... Keblade...' Sora and Kairi both heard this.
"Keyblade!" They both yelled at once. Then the small creatures came back. This time they were ready. They began to fight them off. One by one, they were destroyed. "There's a door over there!" Sora yelled. Both Kairi and him began to run towards the door, destroying all the creature that went near them only.
Soon they reached the door, and surprisingly, the door opened. "Come on!" Sora yelled, noticing that Kairi was holding back.
"I'm sorry, Sora. I'm just really scared. I'll go now." Kairi walked forward. Sora nodded, trying to keep Kairi calm.
"It's okay, Kairi. I'm not mad. I know that you're scared, so just stay close to me." Kairi walked up to him and hugged him lightly. They both walked up inside the secret place. The brown door with yellow lines in the middle, going around the door. Then a breeze blow both him and Kairi back.
Sora and Kairi found themselves trapped on a small island with the giant, black creature they had met before. "The creature!" The both shouted. Sora looked back at Kairi and Kairi nodded. They both began to attack the creature. It threw it's hand down and the smaller creatures began to come out. Sora attacked the beast's head while Kairi began killing the smaller ones. Soon it fell to the ground. Sora and Kairi used this for their advantage, and attacked it repeatedly. Then the creature got up and made a black energy ball. The energy ball broke into little pieces, making the little blasts fall from the sky. Each time it hit Sora and Kairi, it took some of their Hp. Kairi and Sora both began to attack it repeatedly, making it lose. But it was too late for Sora and Kairi. The island was slowly deteriorating. The gust got harder.
"Kairi, grab my hand!" Kairi grabbed it and then Sora grabbed some wood. The wood soon blew away, making Sora and Kairi fly away, into the darkness.
*** End of chapter
Again I'd like to thank each reviewer for giving me the inspiration to write. This chapter took me mindless hours, going from the PS2 to the computer and describing everything as well as I could. This chapter was about 6000 words! Compared to the last chapter, 900 words, this was a big thing. I might not be able to continue as often as I wish to but I will try my best to continue as soon as possible. Each review makes me continue faster, so keep reviewing.
Again, anonymous reviewers now may review. So please push that little button at the end of this chapter and give me a little comment. Thanks...
Sorceress Yuna: You're my first reviewer! Thanks. Looks like you'll get more! (I'm on your fav
Authors! Whoo! You rule!)
Cronomaster: Thanks for saying that this isn't boring! It took a while to go back and forth from the computer to the PS2 to get all the quotes. Luckily, the computer is only about three meters away! Hope this story will still be good!
EdSweetTooth: I really loved the game, too! It didn't take me long to beat it! Yes, I agree that they didn't show much of Kairi. I hope I get her personality right.
One Winged Kuja: Yes, I will keep going. I wouldn't say that this story is that impressive. Maybe the idea is cool, though!
Tiger5913: There are way too many yaoi fics in Kingdom Hearts. The main couple was supposed to be Sora and Kairi. Come on people! Look at the carving near the door in the secret cave at the end! (if you saw the secret ending you'd see it.)
Dark Raion: Yes, I do agree. There are way too many Sora/Riku fics out there and not enough of Kairi in the game Kingdom Hearts. That's why in this fic she has a keyblade.
Chris: Wow, you love it? Glad to know that people are enjoying this. I'd also like to thank you for being my first anonymous reviewer.
Zero-Tribal-004: I found your review quite humorous. You were the one who made me get off me lazy ass and write. Hehe, you reviewed me on Halloween!
Phantazy: Wow, that's cool. Answering all the questions the same way. I made Sora pick the sword because he had a wooden one and give up the staff because he had no magic. Oh well, it's cool that we answered the questions the same way, except I was just trying to get what Sora would choose, not me.
(blank reviewer): Thanks for saying it was good! Don't know who you are but I hope you continue reading this.
Well thanks everyone. Most of this chapter will start out exactly how the game started, but at the close to the end Kairi finally get's her keyblade, I assure you! Now onto chapter two!
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, but it's so cool I had to write about it! I do own this fic and the plot, though! So don't steal it!
Chapter 2: Destiny Islands--- (Dedicated to Zero-Tribal-004 for getting me to write)
(no P.O.V.)
Sora opened his eyes to find that he was at the shore line on his island. He let out a big yawn and leaned back. Surprisingly, Kairi's head blocked his vision. "Whoa!" He screamed. Kairi had really surprised him. He turned to face Kairi. She kneeled down as he got up on his knees. She laughed at him. "Gimme a break, Kairi." He ordered.
Kairi stood up straight and replied to him. "Sora, you lazy bum," she started. "I knew that I'd find you snoozing down here." Then she kneeled back down. Then she stood back up straight and looked away, waiting for an answer.
"No! This huge, black THING swallowed me up!" He tried to explain. "I couldn't breathe, I couldn't--" He was interrupted by Kairi, hitting him in the head. "Ow!" He leaned down and then looked up.
Kairi kneeled back down again, putting her hands on her knees. "Are you still dreaming?" She asked. Sora immediately began to argue.
"It wasn't a dream!" He shouted, then he realized that it could have been. "Or was it? I don't know." He looked down at the sandy ground. "What was that place?" He asked aloud. "So bizarre..." Then he was again interrupted.
"Yeah, sure," Kairi said, making Sora look up again. Knowing that she wouldn't believe him, he changed the subject. She began to walk away a little into the water.
"Say, Kairi," he started, "what was your hometown like? You know, where you grew up." He asked, then swayed his arm.
"I told you before," Kairi said looking at the ocean, "I don't remember." Sora had always wanted to know what was outside his Island. He thought Kairi would at least remember something.
"Nothing at all?" He asked, hoping Kairi's memory would become clear and she would remember. He knew that it wouldn't, though.
"Nothing," she said smiling. Sora at least wanted to know if she really leave the island. She never really complained about it, but she never said that she wanted to stay on it.
"You ever want to go back?" He asked. He knew he was asking way too many questions at the moment, but he still wanted answers, after that weird dream.
"Hmm," she thought for a moment. "Well," she began, "I'm happy here." She decided, since she was happy.
"Really..." Sora protested. He knew that she did want to travel, but he never knew when she had wanted to go.
"But you know..." Kairi began, "I wouldn't mind going to see it," she said, smiling. She never would really put something down, especially her home.
Sora knew that he should help support Kairi's wishes, to make her happy. He always wanted to explore, away from this Island. "I'd like to see it too. Along with any other worlds out there! I want to see 'em all!" He smiled.
"So what're we waiting for?" Kairi asked while turning around looking at Sora. She blinked and then heard someone else's voice.
"Hey," Riku began. Sora and Kairi both looked at him. "aren't you guys forgetting about me? So, I guess I'm the only one working on the raft." Riku threw the log he was holding to Sora. Sora stumbled to get it, making Kairi laugh. "And you're just as lazy as he is!" Riku said walking up to Kairi.
Kairi put her hand behind her head and laughed. "So, you've noticed." She spread her hands out. "Okay, we'll finish it together," she said jumping up and down. "I'll race you!" She challenged.
"Huh?" Sora asked. Usually he and Riku would race together, not him, Riku, and Kairi. He decided that she could race with them, too.
"What," Riku argued, "are you kidding?" He asked. He had just sat down, and he didn't want to get back up. Kairi laughed at their remarks.
"Ready?" Kairi asked. "Go!" She shouted, putting her two hands around her mouth to make it louder. Riku and Sora both sprang up, running beside each other. Kairi ran after them, laughing.
After the race Sora went up to Kairi. "So, can you gather the rest of the supplies?" Sora didn't reply. "Sora, are you listening to me?"
"Yeah, I heard you," Sora replied. He didn't really want to gather the rest, but he knew that he had to help make the raft.
"Okay, here's what you need to go find: Two Logs. One Cloth. One Rope. Bring everything back here. If you need help, just ask. I'm counting on you!"
Sora left immediately, searching for the supplies. He found the first log near the shore line. Then he went up to Selphie. "Aah, the breeze feels great," she said. "What are you up to these days? We never see you." Sora wanted to keep it a secret.
"Wanna duel?" He asked, changing the subject. Selphie, he knew, always enjoyed the action in fighting, therefore, she forgot all about her question.
"All right! Now you're talking." After getting ready she said, "Okay, don't hold back." Sora first attacked her three times with his wooden sword. Then Selphie counter attacked, hitting him with her skipping rope. Sora went for another round of attacks. Selphie ducked out of the way, but she couldn't avoid the attacks. She slammed into the rocks and got hit again, bringing her Hp to zero.
"Oh, I can't believe I lost!" She complained. Then Sora went towards Tidus. He found some rope beside him. He quickly grabbed the rope and then talked to Tidus.
"Hey, Sora, you feel lucky today? Feelin' up to a little competition?" Sora, feeling up to fighting, agreed.
"You asked for it!" He said, smiling while taking out his wooden sword. Tidus put down his red pole, getting ready to fight.
"All right, let's go! You're going down!" Tidus ran up to Sora and attacked. Sora blocked and then sent him back with three attacks. Then Tidus attacked but Sora dodged and attacked him. Tidus went around him and stroke. Then Sora set another round of attacks, sending him back. Then he attacked again. Tidus was defeated. "Ow, man, I'm really off today." Then Sora remembered that there was a cloth inside the great tree. He climbed up the stairs and went up the ladder. He saw the cloth hanging on the wall.
After getting that supply, he remembered that he needed one more log. He decided to go to Riku and ask where the log was. From the great tree he saw Riku on the smaller island. He saw a log there instead of having to ask him. Then he decided to fight Riku.
"Did you get everything we need for the raft? I gave my stuff to Kairi. Hey, Sora, how about a quick round? Grab your sword."
Sora knew that he wasn't at a very high level, and that he would probably would lose, but at least he might get some more experience. "Okay, you're on!"
"The one decides the champion! Ready or not!" Riku jumped behind him and attacked him. Sora turned and counter attacked. Then Riku curled up into a ball and then fired. He only missed Sora be an inch. Then he put his sword up and began to block Sora's attacks. "My turn!" He shouted as he attacked Sora. Sora went for a series of attacks and then Riku curled into a ball again. This time his charge hit Sora, making him win and Sora lose.
"Man, now the score's zero to one!" Sora decided to give all his things to Kairi then, since he had nothing really to do.
"Thanks, Sora! I found something today, too. Here, it's yours." Kairi gave Sora the Hi-potion. "Tired? Want to call it a day?"
"Yeah, let's go home." Sora agreed. It had been a long day, and he was a little tired. He knew that the next day they could gather the food supplies.
"Okay, it is getting late. We'll finish up tomorrow," Kairi said, knowing that they still had to put the raft together and get the food.
*
"So, Kairi's home is out there somewhere, right?" Sora asked Riku. They were all sitting on the pier after their long days work.
Sora and Kairi both turned and looked at Riku for the answer. He didn't know any more then they knew, though. "Could be," Riku answered. "We'll never know by staying here."
Then Sora remembered something. "But how far could a raft take us?" He had a point. The raft could break down in the middle of no where.
"Who knows?" Riku asked. He still was unsure how to answer all of this. "If we have to, we'll think of something else."
"So, suppose you get to another world," she stopped and made a little giggle. "What would you do there?" She was curious, so she had to ask.
"Hmm," he thought for a moment. "Well, I haven't really thought about it. It's just... I've always wondered why we're here on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds... Then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could have just as easily ended up somewhere else, right?"
"I don't know," Sora said as he moved back. He laid down on the pier and put his hands behind his head.
"Exactly," Riku looked up at him and put his hands up for a second, then brought them down. "That's why we need to go out there and find out." He stopped leaning on the pier and got up. "Just sitting here won't change a thing. It's the same old stuff. So let's go."
"You've been thinking a lot lately, haven't you?" Kairi asked. He sounded like he hated the island that they lived on.
"Thanks to you," Riku began. He turned to face Kairi. "If you hadn't come here, I probably would've never thought of any of this. Kairi, thanks."
Kairi made a small nervous giggle, not knowing really what to say. "You're welcome," she said. Then they got off the pier and started walking over the bridge towards home.
"Sora," Riku yelled before he could get off the bridge. Sora turned around to face him. Then Riku chucked a paopu fruit. "You wanted one, didn't you?"
Sora looked in his hands to see a paopu fruit. He didn't know why Riku would give him one, though. "A paopu fruit..." Sora said, repeated what he was thinking in his mind.
"If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what. C'mon, I know you want to try it."
"What are you talking--" Sora began. Why would Riku give him a paopu fruit? Sora never really asked for one. Riku laughed as Sora threw the paopu fruit away and ran after him.

A large blue and white castle stood there. Donald began walking through the halls just like any other day. He looked at a broom holding two buckets, as if it were going to clean something up. Then he stood in front of a large, light purple door. Donald cleared his throat and knocked on the door. A little part of the door opened. He began walking on a red carpet.
"Good morning, your Majesty," Donald began, while bowing. "It's nice to see you this morn-- What!" Pluto came out from behind the chair with a note in his mouth. It had a green, Mickey Mouse symbol on it. Donald browsed through it. He found himself screaming down the halls. Then he ran up to Goofy.
"Wake up, Goofy, wake up! This is serious!" Goofy just snored at his remark. Donald cast a thunder spell on him to get him up.
"Hey there, Donald. G'morning," Goofy said casually, as if nothing were wrong. Donald couldn't keep this up.
"We've got a problem, Goofy!" Donald yelled. He knew he had to be quieter. "But don't tell anyone..." Donald whispered.
"Queen Minnie?" Goofy asked. He didn't mean that there was something wrong with her though, he had just spot her. Donald didn't know this, though.
"Not even the queen," Donald turned around. He shook his head. He almost looked proud that something worse then the queen.
"Daisy?" Donald again thought that he meant that there was trouble with Daisy, and it would be worse for him since it was his wife.
"No," Donald screamed, "it's top secret!" Donald didn't mean to say it so loud, but Goofy could sometimes really get on his nerves.
"G'morning ladies," Goofy decided to tell Donald in that way. Donald began to sound nervous. He turned half way.
"What?" He asked and then looked behind him to see one angry woman and Queen Minnie looking suspicious. He laughed.

Sora got up of his house and jumped beside Selphie. "Hey, Sora, have you heard about the legendary power of the paopu fruit? They say if you share it with someone you really care for... It binds you together forever and ever through eternity." She sighed. "It's so romantic. I gotta try it sometime."
Sora left and decided to go find Riku. He went through the cove and found him there. "Hey, Sora. Our raft still needs a name. Let's see... How about Highwind? What would you call it?"
"Me? Well... hmm..." Sora thought for a moment. Soon the name came to him. "Excalibur!" Sora almost shouted.
"Hey, how 'bout..." Riku began. Sora knew what he meant. They would always race. He still wasn't too sure if Riku meant it.
"The usual?" Sora asked. Almost immediately he knew that it was racing, since they always did it and it was a great way to decide who would get what.
"Let's do it!" Riku shouted. After saying this Kairi heard and knew exactly what they were going to do. She ran over the bridge towards them.
"You guys at it again?" She laughed. "All right, I'll be the judge. The usual rules apply: Take any route you want... First one to tag that tree and make it back here wins."
"If I win," Sora began, "I'm captain!" Then he took a breath. "And if you win..." Sora didn't finish.
"I get to share the paopu fruit with Kairi," Riku said aloud, almost laughing. This would be a good way to trick him.
"Huh," Sora said. First he gives him one and thinks he wanted one and now they will be racing to see who gets to share a paopu with Kairi!
"Deal? The winner gets to share a paopu with Kairi." Riku sounded like he was actually serious. This scared him.
He knew he didn't want to race for one, because what if Riku won. "He decided to protest. "Wha... Wait a minute..."
"Okay," Kairi began, before Sora could stop the deal. "On my count," she said. The two got in their positions and got ready to run. Kairi put her arm down as signaling them to leave.
The began to run. Riku ran over the bridge while Sora actually jumped off the land and walked through the water. He climbed up the stairs and jumped into the water once more. He went up the hill and then jumped from the grass lands. He tagged the tree and jumped back down. Then he ran past the raft and jumped onto the land and ran down the stairs. He was actually beating Riku! He ran through the water and jumped beside Kairi.
"Now the score's one to one!" Sora shouted and lifted his arm up. Riku may be stronger them him but he was faster!
"Man, lighten up. It's just a name, after all." This made Sora angry. He gave him a mean glare and left him, still thinking that it was cool that he won. Sora left Riku and found Kairi on their raft that they had built a while ago.
"Today we collect provisions for our trip!" Kairi said excitedly. "Let's see. Sora, you're looking for... One seagull egg. Three mushrooms. Two coconuts. Three fish. And fill this up with drinking water." She said, handing Sora a bottle. "But not from the ocean!" Kairi reminded him. "Bring everything back here. If you need help, just ask"
With that, Sora left on his search for the provisions. He first found a mushroom behind a rock, and another one under some bushes. He couldn't seem to find the other one so he began looking for the other stuff. He obtained three fish around the lake and some drinking water by the bridge in the cove. On the small island he attacked trees to get two coconuts and a seagull egg on the top of a tree, but he couldn't seem to find the last mushroom. He finally decided to ask Wakka.
"Me and Tidus, we are gonna do a little explorin' today." Wakka said as he turned to a bush in a dark corner. "You know, to the secret place at the base of that tree. There's gotta be something there, ya?" Sora almost immediately dashed off towards the tree. He went under and went through a tunnel that lead to the secret place.
Sora saw a big, brown door with a mushroom beside it. He picked it and then noticed some carving in a rock. It was a picture of him and Kairi together when they were little. He carved Kairi and Kairi carved him. They both did lots of drawings then. Sora touched the drawing, remembering how much fun he had had back then. Sora grabbed a rock and began carving something that he had never thought he would. He drew his arm holding a paopu fruit up to Kairi. Then he heard something. "Wh-Who's there?" Sora looked at the shadowy figure.
A man dressed in a brown cloak showed up. You couldn't see his face or anything. "I've come to see the door to this world," he simply said, not answering his question.
"Huh," Sora began, but couldn't finish. He could barley see the mans face. He seemed so... mysterious.
"This world has been connected," he said, still in the shadows. He didn't move an inch, making Sora very nervous.
"Wh-What are you talking about?" Sora asked. He hadn't a clue who or what this man was, only why he was there.
"Tied to the darkness..." He began, "soon to be completely eclipsed." It didn't sound like this man was here for good, it seemed as if darkness had been possessing him, and still was.
"Well, whoever you are," Sora began, "stop freaking me out like this." The man didn't speak. "Huh? Wh-Where did you come from?"
"You do not yet know what lies beyond the door." Sora picked up what this guy was trying to say immediately.
"So, you're from another world!" Sora got very excited now. He had always wanted to know what was beyond his world.
"There is so very much to learn," he said, changing the whole conversation. "You understand so little," he pointed out.
"Oh, yeah?" Sora began, fury filled him. "Well, you'll see. I'm gonna get out and learn what's out there!" He said.
"A meaningless effort," he began. This made Sora very angry. "One who knows nothing can understand nothing." Sora then turned back and looked at the door. Then when he looked back he was gone. Sora decided to forget about this at the moment and go back to Kairi so they could leave their island.
*
"This? I'm making a necklace out of thalassa shells. In the old days, sailors always wore thalassa shells. They were supposed to ensure a safe voyage." She put her necklace in her pocket. " Thanks, Sora! I found something today, too. Here, it's yours." She handed him a Hi-potion. "Tired, wanna call it a day?"
"Yeah, let's go home." Sora had to admit that this day was rather unusual. That weird man and how he actually carved something he'd never thought he'd do.
"Okay, tomorrow's the big day. We should rest up!" Sora and Kairi left their raft and went on the bridge to watch the sunset. Riku wasn't there with them this time.
"You know, Riku has changed," Kairi started. Sora didn't have a clue on what she was talking about. Maybe she thought Riku had changed, and he had a bit.
"What do you mean?" Sora asked. Why would Kairi bring this topic up? Was she mad at Riku, was he changing?
Kairi stayed silent for a minute. "Well..." She began, wondering how she would explain this. Sora interrupted Kairi's thoughts.
"You okay?" He asked. Kairi seemed to be changing now. She never really said that kind of stuff. This was probably new to her.
"Sora, let's take the raft and go--" She said excitedly. "just the two of us!" Now Sora knew that something was wrong.
So many questions began to fill his head. Had Riku changed? Who was that guy in the brown? Did he actually come from another world? "Huh?" He blurred out.
A few giggles escaped from her mouth. She couldn't help but laugh at Sora's remark. "Just kidding!"
"What's gotten into you?" Sora asked. "You're the one that's changed, Kairi." This made Kairi think more.
"Maybe..." she said softly. She actually seemed sad. "You know, I was a little afraid at first," she began, "but know I'm ready," she assured him. "No matter where I go or what I see, I know I can always come back here. Right?"
Kairi turned and faced him. Sora didn't want her to feel down so he said, "Yeah, of course!" But he really wasn't sure if they could always go back.
"That's good," she said as she turned away from him. "Sora, don't ever change." That had showed that she actually liked him the way he was. This let another 'Huh?' escape from his mouth. Kairi stood up and looked at the sky. "I just can't wait. Once we set sail, it'll be great."
Both Sora and her stopped talking and allowed the silence.
~*~
Donald, Sorry to rush off without sayin' good bye, but there's big trouble brewin'. Not sure why, but the stars have been blinkin' out, one by one. And that means disaster can't be far behind. I hate to leave you all but I've gotta go check into it. There's someone with a "key"-- the key to our survival. So, I need you and Goofy to find him, and stick with him. Got it? We need that key or we're doomed! So go to Traverse town and find Leon. He'll point you in the right direction.
P.S.
Would you apologize to Minnie for me?
Thanks, pal.
"Oh, dear! What could this mean?" Daisy said. After reading the letter they were discussing what they were to do.
"It means we'll just have to trust the king," Minnie said. They were all in a library. The floor had black and white boxes, covering the area of the floor.
"Garwrsh," Goofy spoke up. He scratched his mouth, as if he was thinking. "I sure hope he's all right."
"Your Highness," Donald said respectfully. He slammed his fist into his chest. "Don't worry. We'll find the king and this "Key."
"Thank you," Minnie said. It sounded as if she wasn't worried at all. "both of you." She said, since both of them were to help.
Donald knew that since he was leaving he should ask Daisy to take care of Minnie. "Daisy, can you take care of--"
"Of course," she interrupted him, knowing exactly what he was going to say. "You be careful, now, both of you."
"Oh," Minnie remembered, "and to chronicle your travels, he will accompany you." She pointed at the table but Goofy and Donald couldn't see anything.
"Over here!" A little cricket called. He jumped up and down so then they could see him. He stopped jumping up and down. "Cricket's the name. Jiminy Cricket, at your service." He took his hat off and bowed.
"We hope for your safe return," Minnie finally said. "Please, help the king." Donald again put his fist up to his chest.
Goofy then put his hand up to his head. "You're coming, too!" Donald yelled as he dragged Goofy with him.
Goofy, Donald and Jiminy went down a staircase. It was almost all black, save the little Mickey Mouse symbols that lit up. "Gawrsh, Jiminy, your world disappeared, too?" Goofy asked.
They all continued walking down the stairs. "It was terrible. We were scattered. And as far as I can see, I'm the only one who made it to this castle."
Donald started walking slower, then he came to a complete stop. "Goofy?" He asked. Goofy knew exactly what he was going to say.
"Oh, right..." He began. "I gotcha. While we're in other worlds, we can't let on where we're from. We've gotta protect the world border."
"Order," Donald corrected him. It seemed that Donald always corrected him when he made a mistake.
"Right. World order," Goofy corrected himself after hearing what he did. He would almost always corrected himself after Donald. Goofy laughed as Donald made a 'your so stupid sometimes' sound. They finished going down the stairs and walked towards the door. "I guess we'll need new duds when we get there."
Donald couldn't take it anymore. He didn't respond to Goofy's remark. They entered a big room with lots of machinery. There was a big ship in the middle of the room, known as the Gummi ship. Above it, was a control room with Chip and Dale inside. Donald walked up to a yellow horn and began to talk. "Hello up there? Donald Duck to launch crew! Anytime you're ready." Chip put her hand up to her head as Dale went around the room, looking for what he was supposed to push.
A big hand started to move after Dale had pushed the button. It grabbed a happy Goofy and a upset Donald. It put them in the Gummi ship. Then Pluto jumped in with them. A large Mickey Mouse symbol opened up, making Donald think that they were going that way. Daisy and Minnie came out to watch them leave. They looked quite worried. Donald stuck his thumb up and winked to show that they were going to be fine.
"Blast off!" Donald yelled, but for some reason, the Gummi ship fell down to the ground, making Donald scream.
~*~
Sora was laying down on his bed with his one leg over the other. He had been thinking a lot lately. He looked at a little ship with some dolls in it, making him remember that they were going to depart from their island to search for other worlds. "I just can't wait. Once we set sail, it'll be great," Sora recalled. Then he looked out the window to see that a storm was coming. "A storm?" Sora said calmly. "Oh, no, the raft!" He quickly got off the bed and out the window.
"Sora, dinner's ready. Come on down. Sora?" Sora was already gone, meaning that he was unable to have his dinner.
Sora was on the dock where Selphie would always be. He looked up to see some kind of portal, a dark portal. "What's that?" Sora asked himself. "Riku's boat. And Kairi's!" Sora turned to see Kairi beside him.
"Sora, what's happening?" Kairi asked, but Sora couldn't answer, for some dark creatures began to surround them. "Sora, they're from the dream!"
This caused Sora to turn and face Kairi. "What, you had the dream, too?" Sora asked. He lifted his wooden sword out and tried to attack one of the creatures, but the wooden sword didn't cause any damage.
"Yes," Kairi began, "I just had it tonight. Then I woke up and there was a storm, so I went out to check on the raft."
"Me too! Now, let's go." Sora grabbed Kairi's hand and rushed her towards the smaller island. There, Riku stood.
"Riku, what's happening?" Kairi asked immediately. Sora wanted to know, too. But he doubted that Riku knew what was going on as well.
"The door has opened..." Riku said quietly and slowly. Maybe he did know what was going on, what those creatures were and what the portal was.
"What?" Sora and Kairi said at the same time. Kairi was getting very nervous and Sora stood there, confused.
"The door has opened, Sora, Kairi!" Riku shouted while turning to face them. What door had opened, and how? "Now we can go to the outside world!" Kairi got a little excited but Sora stayed the same. "Once we step through, we might not be able to come back." Kairi stepped back. "We may never see our parents again. There's no turning back."
"Couldn't the raft take us?" Kairi asked. "We worked so hard on it. And, what if we can't come back. I don't want to leave forever."
"This may be are only chance to leave. We can't let fear stop us!" Kairi stepped forward, better to leave then to stay.
"Kairi, are you sure you want to leave?" Sora asked her, knowing that this was a very difficult decision, especially for her. Kairi nodded.
Riku lifted his hand up to Sora and let the darkness cover him. Sora and Kairi soon let the darkness take them, too. Sora tried to reach for Riku and Kairi, but could only reach her. Riku disappeared. Sora and Kairi found themselves trapped in the darkness, but then a small light began to grow stronger. They found themselves back on their island.
Sora looked at something he was holding that he hadn't seen before. He looked at it confidently, and then back at Kairi. She was holding the same thing he was, except different colors. Kairi's was silver with a purple handle, while Sora's was yellow. 'Keyblade... Keblade...' Sora and Kairi both heard this.
"Keyblade!" They both yelled at once. Then the small creatures came back. This time they were ready. They began to fight them off. One by one, they were destroyed. "There's a door over there!" Sora yelled. Both Kairi and him began to run towards the door, destroying all the creature that went near them only.
Soon they reached the door, and surprisingly, the door opened. "Come on!" Sora yelled, noticing that Kairi was holding back.
"I'm sorry, Sora. I'm just really scared. I'll go now." Kairi walked forward. Sora nodded, trying to keep Kairi calm.
"It's okay, Kairi. I'm not mad. I know that you're scared, so just stay close to me." Kairi walked up to him and hugged him lightly. They both walked up inside the secret place. The brown door with yellow lines in the middle, going around the door. Then a breeze blow both him and Kairi back.
Sora and Kairi found themselves trapped on a small island with the giant, black creature they had met before. "The creature!" The both shouted. Sora looked back at Kairi and Kairi nodded. They both began to attack the creature. It threw it's hand down and the smaller creatures began to come out. Sora attacked the beast's head while Kairi began killing the smaller ones. Soon it fell to the ground. Sora and Kairi used this for their advantage, and attacked it repeatedly. Then the creature got up and made a black energy ball. The energy ball broke into little pieces, making the little blasts fall from the sky. Each time it hit Sora and Kairi, it took some of their Hp. Kairi and Sora both began to attack it repeatedly, making it lose. But it was too late for Sora and Kairi. The island was slowly deteriorating. The gust got harder.
"Kairi, grab my hand!" Kairi grabbed it and then Sora grabbed some wood. The wood soon blew away, making Sora and Kairi fly away, into the darkness.
*** End of chapter
Again I'd like to thank each reviewer for giving me the inspiration to write. This chapter took me mindless hours, going from the PS2 to the computer and describing everything as well as I could. This chapter was about 6000 words! Compared to the last chapter, 900 words, this was a big thing. I might not be able to continue as often as I wish to but I will try my best to continue as soon as possible. Each review makes me continue faster, so keep reviewing.
Again, anonymous reviewers now may review. So please push that little button at the end of this chapter and give me a little comment. Thanks...
