Chapter 6

Kairi sat on the beach again. Everyone on the island was growing more and more concerned about her condition. She just recently stopped eating. 'Please come back Sora please come back,' thought Kairi, tears flowing freely down her face.

The sound of the ocean usually soothed Kairi but not today. Some how she sensed Sora was hurt. The thought was eating her alive. She wanted to help, she wanted to be with him. Then reality struck her, she couldn't be with him because he was off fighting the heartless.

"Stupid heartless why did you have to come and ruin everyone's lives!" She shouted towards the

ocean.

She was sure no one heard her but she was wrong. Selphie, Tidus, Wakka and Riku quietly stood ten feet behind her, a tree shielding them from view.

"This is not good," Selphie said, not bothering to hide the worry in her voice.

"I say we confront her," Tidus suggested.

"We can't do that," Riku said.

"And why not?"

"Cause she'll know we've been spying on her."

"I don't care I'll do anything to get her to eat again," Wakka said.

"Riku we need to help her now!" Selphie said."She'll kill herself if we don't get involved."

But Riku wasn't listening he was concentrating on a huge ship like object coming towards them. In fact it appeared to be headed for their little tree.

"Scatter!" Riku shouted.

The other 3 teens looked up. Their eyes widened and then they ran. Kairi was oblivious to what was going on behind her until she heard the retreating footsteps .Kairi turned around and saw Selphie running towards her.

"Have you been spying on me Selphie?" Kairi asked angrily.

Selphie shook her head and pointed to the sky. Kairi looked up and finally saw the ship.She squinted at it for a moment and then realized what it was.

"It's a Gummyship," Kairi said breathlessly.
"A wha wha?"

"A Gummyship. Sora and his friends used it to travel to different worlds."

"Do you think its Sora?"

Before Kairi could answer the ship landed and right on the tree. The door opened and out jumped Goofy.

He inspected the little tree for a second and the said, "Donald you idiot you landed on a tree!"

"It's not my fault! Would you rather I had landed on one of them?" Donald said coming out of the ship and pointing to the 5 teens gathered around it.

"Goofy! Donald!" Kairi shouted running up to them.

Goofy wrapped her up in a big bear hug.

"It's good to see you too squirt." he said.

Just then King Mickey came out of the ship. His eyes landed on Riku.

"I'm glad your well Riku," he said.

"Likewise," Riku said.

"Where is Sora?" Kairi asked.

Goofy and Donald looked at each other. How were they going to tell Kairi what happened?

"We have some bad news squirt," Goofy said.

Kairi went cold with fear.

"What happened?" She asked in a voice barley above a whisper.

"We were at Hollow Bastion."

Hollow Bastion. The place held so many memories for Kairi, but she pushed herself to hold them back.

"Go on," she said.

"We were attacked by something, Sora got the worst of it."

"And?"
"He has amnesia."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning he probably won't remember you squirt he doesn't even remember us." Kairi felt all the breath leave her body. She leaned against Selphie for support. Unfortunately Selphie couldn't hold her. Riku was immediately by her side. He held her tight against him.

"W-were is h-h-he?" Kairi managed to choke out.

"Inside the ship."

"Can I se h-h-h-him?"

Goofy and Donald looked at each other remembering Sora was still tied to a chair.

"Um...sure."

Riku regretfully let go of Kairi and let Donald and Goofy lead her onto the ship.
