**************************************************************************************

As we peer back into the Hallow Baston at Sora and his friends, we see that not only are they planning to find Sephiroth, but they are planning to find King Mickey and Riku. The door to find them mustn't be far from where Sephiroth is at.

"Kairi, you don't have to travel with us past this place, you can stay here." Sora said to her softly.

"No, I'm going Sora, I have to, I want to find Riku, I want to get him back to Destiny Islands, I want us all together again."

With that she walked off down the hall, Sora went back over to Cloud and Aeris.

Yuffie looked at him, with a look that said stop trying to protect Kairi.

"What is that look for Yuffie?"

"You need to stop trying to protect her Sora, let her get in on this world, let her fight too."

"Why? I don't want her hurt!"

"You can't be there to protect her all the time, let her learn to fight."

"No, she doesn't need to fight."

As he said that, Kairi came back down the hall to the room where he was at and heard everything that he had said to Yuffie, she was hurt by his words and she ran off crying into the back of the Hallow Baston.

Sora begins to chase after her, but is stopped by Yuffie, who glares at him.

"Let her go Sora, let her fight her own battles for once."

He looks down at his feet and walks off into the back of the Chapel where the princesses were once gathered.

He sits in the corner, thinking of what Yuffie said to him, and how her wishes she weren't right. He did need to let Kairi live a little bit and explore the world on her own, he realized that he needed to let her be as stong as he was when she was gone for so long, she needed to be able to defend herself if the time ever came up.

With that he walked back out to track Kairi down and to teach her how to defend herself against the Heartless and other monsters.

"KAIRI!Where are you!?!?"

He falls to his knees crying, he can't seem to find her and he is so scared that he doesnt know what to do, all he knows to do is be scared and cry for her, its just like the last time he lost her.

Yuffie walks up behind Sora, Kairi standing next to her. She places a hand on Sora's shopulder. He looks up at her crying even harder.

"Sora, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just thought I'd lost you again."

"You'll never lose me again Sora, I'm not going anywhere, not yet at least."
