Sora opened his eyes. He was falling.
Again.
The water surrounded him but he could still breath.
*Where am I going? What am I doing?*
He sank deeper and deeper.
*Is this adventure over? *
Suddenly he stopped falling and opened his eyes. He was back on Destiny Islands, but nobody was around. "Hello?" he called out.
"Sora.is that you?" Kairi was standing at a distance, looking at Sora from his back. "It can't be." She rubbed her eyes.
"Hello?" Sora repeated.
"Sora..it really is you!" Kairi cried with joy as she ran out to greet him. She threw her arms around him.
"Whoa!" Sora lunged back a little shocked at her hug. "Hey Kairi..."
"Where did you go? I was so worried!" She looked up at him. He stared at her blankly.
"I don't know..." He said vaugly. "One minute I was falling, and the next minute I was just back home again."
"Where's Riku?" Kairi asked.
"I don't know." Sora said again, looking down. "I hope he's ok."
"Me too." Kairi said. She hugged him again.
Sora laughed. "Come on Kairi." He pulled her off. "It's just me."
"I know." Kairi said. "But you've been gone for so long."
"How long? I kind of lost track of time." He smiled.
"About half of a year now." She looked into his eyes. "And you haven't changed a bit."
Sora laughed again. Then he looked up. "Oh yeah." He reached into his pocket. "I have something for you."
"What is it?" Kairi said, putting her hands behind her back.
Sora dug through his large pocket a little, and then took out something very tiny. He opened his hand.
Inside was her oathkeeper.
"M-my lucky charm." She clutched her necklace.
"I promised you I would give it back, didn't I?" He gave her a lopsided grin.
Kairi was speechless. For a second she didn't know what to say. Her emotions were tumbling up and around, and her feelings for Sora were bouncing off the walls.
*I didn't want to forget about you Sora, I couldn't.. Take this. It's my lucky charm. Be sure to give it back to me. *
*Don't worry. I will. *
*Promise? *
*I promise*
*Don't ever forget. Wherever you go, I'll always be with you. *
"Kairi? Are you ok?" Sora looked worried.
The red haired girl snapped back to reality that second. She then turned away from him. "S-Sora?" Her words trembled terribly. "I-I have to tell you.. Something."
"Sure." Sora walked up to his friend and put his hand on her shoulder. "You can tell me anything."
Those words sounded so simple. Kairi's heart was beating faster than ever. "I.. I."
Sora waited anxiously.
"I have to go." Kairi ran off so quickly she had dropped her charm.
"Kairi!"
She heard Sora's voice calling after her from a distance. She just couldn't do it. It didn't feel right.
Kairi ran to the secret place and pushed her hand against the wall, gasping for air. When she finally caught her breath, she slowly walked over to the drawings on the wall that she had drawn when she thought she would never see Sora again. She touched it and ran her fingers down the simple drawing. Tears were in her eyes again.
"I'm sorry Sora." Kairi curled up into a little ball.
"Kairi?" Sora had found her. She shifted to the other direction, not facing him.
"Err...you forgot your charm." Sora said as he walked over to where she was sitting. "Here." He handed it to her.
Kairi looked up at his hand. She wanted to tell this secret of hers to Sora so badly, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Her heart was throbbing. She got up again quickly and brushed past Sora, rushing out of their hiding place. "Thanks." She murmured quietly as she left.
Sora hung his head and looked down at the floor for a moment. Then he put his hands behind his back, admiring all of the pictures drawn in the secret place. Then he saw it.
The picture he had drawn when he was handing Kairi the paoupu fruit.
And he saw what she had drawn back.
"Can it be true?" He whispered to himself. "Does Kairi want to tell me that.."
"I love it." Kairi said as she opened the dress that her grandmother had gotten her. It was baby purple with creamy white ribbons tied on the ends of the puffy sleeves. A big white bow was tied in the middle of it. Though it looked a bit childish, it was still beautiful, and her grandmother had made it from scratch. "Thanks, Grandma." She gave the old lady a hug.
"Your welcome, darling." Her grandmother said with a sweet smile. "Kairi.. about yesterday-"
"I'd rather not talk about it, Grandma." Kairi said, casting her eyes down to the cold stone table.
Her Grandma gave a helpless look, but then nodded. "Yes. Yes, It'd be best if we didn't mention it."
"I'll ask you when I'm ready." She said with a misty glow in her eyes.
"Alright dear."
Kairi slowly plodded up the stairs. As her grandmother watched her leave she sighed. "Well, at least now she knows. Even if the truth hurts.."
"The ones I love will always be there." Kairi sang to herself as she propped her teddy bear against her pillow. "Always."
