Kind of Long, but Enjoy (Disclaimer still in affect)

That night, Sora had a nightmare. The same one he had been having ever since Kingdom Hearts disappeared into oblivion. He never knew what happened to Kairi or what she was doing, but he always wondered. He pictured it so clearly, that fateful event that separated them to the present.

" Kairi, remember what you said? I'm always with you too"; he said to her while the two grounds were separating, " I'll come back to you, I promise". " I know you will", she responded as her hand grasped tightly to his.

Except that there was a twist. Iraki appeared and began chanting a melody that Sora could barely understand. Then Riku came from behind Kairi and pushed her into the dark seperation between Kingdon Hearts and Destiny Island.

" Noooooooooooo!" Sora desperately yelled, " Kairi don't give up!". He then lost her inside the darkness. As Riku laughed, the Keyblade went over to Riku and that is where the dream ended. This dream had repeated itself for days now, and Sora could not understand its meaning. He had also been thinking about him being the "Door to the Light". He knew that one day, he and Riku would come face to face, and that he would die.

"Sora you awake", asked Iraki, " I can't sleep, cause I've been thinking about how to get to the next world". She then put her head under her pillow and tried to sleep.

" How am I supposed to know where to go next", Sora impatiently asked. " You'll know", said Iraki, " according to the legend, you will just know".

" Yeah well according to the legend I am supposed to die", Sora responded. He then turned his back toward Iraki and stared at the wall. " We'll find a way..", started Iraki and then stopped. Ever since Sora had met her, he had thought she had no feelings or care for him. This was the first time that he had ever seen Iraki try to help. " Anyway", she began, " get some rest, we have a big day tomorrow". " Yeah, I guess you are right", Sora said yawning. Sora then finally slept, and dreamt of Destiny Island and Kairi.

A few hours after sunrise, Sora awoke to find Iraki gone. He wondered where she was and he confusedly put on his shirt and went to look for her. Going down an alley he noticed a shadow following him. Grabbing his Keyblade, he waited for the shadow to show itself. He stood there, his pulse rising; sweat trickling from his forehead, because it had been a week or two since he last fought a Heartless. The keychain dangled from the Keyblade, and Sora was in a striking pose. Finally, the shadow emerged as one of Sora's previous foes. It was the same shadow creature that Sora had once fought in his dream, and before defeating Ansem.

" I'm ready for you, and I won't lose", Sora yelled. As he was getting ready to attack, he saw a small girl figure running across the alley. He immediately recognized and chased her. " Kairi", Sora yelled, " Wait don't run off"! But the monster had already begun to attack, sending little minions onto Sora. He began swinging his Keyblade frantically, to hurry up defeating this monster. By attacking his head, Sora had got the monster vulnerable enough to finish him off.

Suddenly, something seemed to have hit him in the back of the head. Sora's knees felt wobbly as he gave way to the ground. A minion jumped back from Sora after he had dealt him the blow. The monster came closer to Sora and was beginning to cast its most powerful and deadly move. A bright light shined from behind Sora, as Iraki cast a Thundaga spell, which instantly destroyed the monster and its minions.

" Whhhhere's Kairi?", exclaimed Sora, " I saw her, I saw her and she's here". " Oh you mean her", responded Iraki, " the 7th princess!" Iraki snapped her fingers and Kairi came tumbling from the sky. Then a faint smile appeared on her face and she began to laugh. " Well, it looks like we were looking for the same girl.", began Iraki, " but too bad I can't let you have her". Sora then jumped up on his feet to confront Iraki.

" What do you mean I can't have her", Sora violently responded, " Think about what you are saying". Iraki looked at Sora dumbfounded, and then smiled again. " Sora, I need Kairi, and you, but I'd rather have her so I have NO PROBLEM destroying you", Iraki said. " We are trying to find Riku, remember", Sora said, " leave Kairi out of this".

" I need her Sora, she is the key to the ultimate power", Iraki exclaimed, " She will unlock the power to rule all worlds". " I can't let you do that Iraki, I will fight you for her", said Sora. Meanwhile Kairi was silent from all the shock, but upon hearing Sora she began sobbing.

" No Sora don't do it, I'll find a way, forget about me", Kairi yelled. " Shut up girl", Iraki shouted, " looks like you got a girlfriend Sora". Sora turned beat red, and yelled, " Iraki, DON'T DO IT". When Sora yelled a bright lock appeared and a heart around it also. " Thanks for opening the lock", said Iraki chuckling, " you lead me right to her and then you gave me my get-a-way". " Nooo", Sora yelled, " Close now, close"!

" Too late now Sora, your heart yearns for this to happen, which is the only way the lock could open", said Iraki. Sora was speechless, and Kairi knew that nothing could be done. It was at that moment that when all hope faded, Sora's heart and the Keyblade revealed its true power. " What's happening", said Iraki, " the door is closing". Sora lifted his hand and Iraki lifted in the air. The Keyblade turned into and portal, which on the other side was Destiny Island. " Kairi go now", Sora yelled. " No, I want to stay and help", replied Kairi.

Out of nowhere, the dark hooded figure jumped behind Sora and hit him in the back of the head. He then leaped at Kairi and pushed her toward the closing lock, away from the portal to Destiny Island. Before Sora went unconscious, he asked, " Who are you". " You will find out soon enough", replied the dark figure. He and Kairi then jumped in the keyhole and disappeared.

Iraki brushed the dirt off her clothes and picked up unconscious Sora. She then took him back to the hotel were she waited until Sora woke up.
