Chapter 7 Another Side
The wall of water washes over the two hurling them into the small opening of their childhood hangout. The two had long since run out of air, any chances of them surviving was eradicated as soon as the wave hit them full force, crushing their lungs. Even though their spirits were long since gone Kairi's body still lay to rest, held by Sora's loving arms. The waters recede leaving the two bodies to rest in the center of the cavern.
Your voice... It's left me.
Sora?
Where did you go?
Is your heart that discouraged,
that you can no longer hear my voice?
Sora wakes up to find himself floating in a pitch-black room, Kairi still in his arms. He lifts his head slightly, halfway expecting to see someone staring back at him, but all he sees is an endless sea of black. "I'm here… I can hear you." Sora pulls the unconscious Kairi closer to his chest, letting her head rest on his shoulder. "Where am I?"
The other side. The place were the heart is sent. I've been calling you… Where did you go?
Sora hangs his head solemnly muttering to himself. "I didn't wish to answer."
I will guide you to the other side. There are many who wish to see you.
Thin black threads sprout from Sora's back, twisting and winding into a pair of black satin-like wings. The wings wrap around Sora and Kairi as they are flung across the now starry sky. The sea rages beneath them, tossing up angry waves. Sora's wings unfurl once again, keeping them aloft enough to reach the shore without falling into the churning sea.
Sora lands softly with Kairi still in his arms, hovering inches over the sand, before falling in a heap on the beach. There they lay, exhausted, and broken.

"Hey! Hey you! Wake up! I know your dead but you don't have to sleep like it! Yeesh man wake up!" Riku leads over a heap of black cloth, his hood drawn up about his pale face. He prods the heap once more with the edge of his Keyblade. "What lazy bums. They die and then think that they get some sort of eternal rest. Pretty silly huh Jinei?"
"Sora you lazy bum"
Riku lightly touches the satin like cloth; it withers away into dust leaving two cloaked figures lying on the sandy beach. Riku looks to Jinei with a mixture of confusion and amusement as he prods the nearest person. The person stirs, moaning as the figure pulls itself to a sitting position. Ow!… Where am I?" The figure pulls off its hood to get a closer look at the people standing in front of him. He stares at the hooded figures, only to see shadows before him. Riku roughly grabs the boys face, deforming the boys face. He pulls off his hood to get a closer look. "You look just like him."
"He looks just like you."
"Everything is coming back to me, the true..."
"Maybe our journey meant nothing after all."
"Riku?…" The boy looks at Riku in wonder; his face is so familiar to him. " Yes, you have to be!… Oh wait! Where's Kairi!? Kairi!?" The boy feels around until he finds Kairi's hand.
"Sora?…" Riku stares into the boy's eyes. "It is you! And Kairi too?" Riku jumps up and offers his hand to Sora. Sora happily obliges and takes Riku's hand. "I'll explain things after we get you out of here. We have a lot of catching up to do, but unfortunately it will have to wait a while. There are to many heartless in this area." Riku briefly looks at Kairi then to Jinei who moves in silently to sweep the girl away into his arms.
"Come on." Riku leads the small group into a small cavern not to far from where they were standing. The king raises a finger to the air, tracing a burning pink heart in the air. The heart burns brightly for a moment before fizzling out to nothing. He turns, obviously satisfied with his work, and follows the rest into the deep cavern.
Chapter 7 Omake Theater
Chibi Shironotenshi sits with her hands folded politely across her lap, her shimmering white wings falling like sheets across the light lavender background.
"I am truly sorry for the delay on this chapter…" (Trying to sound angelic) "What with my busy high school life and all, it is very difficult to find time to write. It being my Senior year makes it even more difficult." (No... You've been working on your Lagoon Engine scanlations...^-^# "Now since this is a omake there needs to be some sort of humor aspect. Lets see…" (-_-:: Thinking real hard)
Chibi Vash floats around on small white gossamer wings, flashing the peace sign. "Peace and love!!!" (Shironotenshi is still thinking hard on her little cloud @_@;; )
"Aaaah! I give up!!!"
