Last Sane Thought (Chapter Two)
Rating PG-13

Kairi sighed feeling lied to as she walked beside Sora. They had been hiking all day away from the safety of the village. The island sure didn't look as big as it was. But one thing was for sure. There were not Heartless despite Sora's warning.

"Sora where are all these Heartless you tell me about?" She questioned kicking a rock of the trial.

"I don't know. It might be because you're here." He muttered as he paused to look around.

She glared, "HEY! I happen to think I couldn't scare a thing away look like this!"

Sora laughed looking at her calmly. With a long brown her and unchanging pink outfit he believed her. "It's not your it's your history! You're a Princess of Heart. Any thing less then a Mega-Heartless is mince-meat if it comes against you!"

She paused for a little then smiled, "Oh. Okay. Well let's get going then. Can't keep those Heartless waiting can we?"

Sora nodded walking quietly after her. His sword leaning carefully against his shoulder as Kairi began to ramble.

"So anyway I told Wakka no he couldn't date me because-" Kairi said waving her arms about.

Sora looked upon the scene curiously. No Heartless were closing in on him because Kairi was near. Kairi was actin like she was in the middle of a group of people and hearing something she didn't want to hear.

"You can hear them can't you?" He asked hoping he didn't sound stupid. She stopped instantly on the trail confirming his suspicion.

"Their all in my head. I can hear them but I can't see them. It's because I'm one of the Princesses of Heart isn't it? It comes with having these powers?" She said looking as if she was about to fall over.

She turned to him with confused eyes, "Some of them sound like they are children! Were there some Sora? Did you killed children?"

He looked away and tried desperately to hold onto the Keyblade, which now seemed so much heavier. "You did didn't you?" She said shaking.

"You didn't seem to care when I needed to get through them to get to you..." He said then as if on cue he remembered his scar. "It didn't seem to matter when I had to go through Riku as well."

"Riku's not the poi-" She was cut off when a Heartless dashed out of the bushes and right into her.

She gave a loud cry. Sora was about to charge to protect her when beams of light shot through the Heartless creature. Sora stopped realizing Kairi was releasing her power on instinct again. That meant even he could get hurt if he wasn't careful.

She stopped screaming when the Heartless rolled off her into the dirt. Sora frowned, "It was just a child Kairi. You were out there ready to blame me and look what you did."

She scrambled away still in shock when another Heartless crawled out of the bushes looking for the first. It gave a awful croak as it tried to get to it's dying partner.

"Kairi don't do anything. Please..." Sora warned watching the child start to glow a bright white. "It's not really Heartless but it will be in a moment then it will be dangerious. I'll take care of it."

"Not really a Heartless? How?" She cried standing up now still backing away. The farther she got from Sora the more chance the Heartless had to swam around him and over power him without being in danger of Kairi.

"The Heartless only become real Heartless when they see the death of one of their own kind." He said. The Heartless suddenly grew and twisting into the shape of an older teen.

"KAIRI! RUN!" He shouted coming to the realization that one of the new breeds was here so that meant the ones had been following them all the time had PLANNED it like this.
