Answering reviews column:
(sorry if I missed any)
-RikkuFF10: It's You again! Happy Birthday! Your Sora's age now…*grumbles* I wish I were Sora's age
again…Oh! Thank you for sticking to my story and reviewing. *sniff* I feel special! I'll keep the Jap dictionary up just for you.
-Koorino Megumi: Yow! I'm fifteen, and an older person actually reads these things. I thought I was
crazy. Thanx for the extra long review, helps me out lots. And just to let ya know, I fixed chapter two just for you! I can't get a beta-reader. I don't really have the patience and time to do it. But, I'll let my friends read them from now on.
A/N: The last chapter was all crappy. I mean, I like what I wrote and how it came out—but my grammar
sucked and I didn't write as much as I wanted to. I rewrote Chapter 2, but it's the exact same thing…only with better grammar. This one should be better though. (I wish my writing was as good as my drawings)
A/N2: People have been asking where I got all my Kingdom Hearts junk. Well…
-I got Sora's necklace, Utada Hikaru Album, and the Artbook at the Anime Expo in Anaheim this past July. ( I don't know where else you can find them because they were imported…gomen [sorry]!)
-And I got the Kingdom Hearts Soundtrack through Borders bookstore.
One note: Everyone's three years older. (Sora=17, Kairi=17, Riku=18, etc…)
Chapter 3
--Forgetting all I'm liking
Feeling incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
-=-
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I don't know where to go
And I don't know if I'm to be here, too
Just hanging by a moment here with you

{{"SORA!" Kairi screams.
This is only a dream, right.
The blade disappears and I fall to my knees.
I'll wake up soon.
I fall into darkness…and that's all I see.
Only a dream…}}
~*~*~*~
It was the following morning.
Aerith was walking down the Hotel hall and was holding a small tray of food that she had prepared herself. She was going to check up on Sora and give him some breakfast.
'He seemed more out of it than usual,' she thought, 'Even Leon thinks something's wrong.'
…
'I hope he's hungry though.'
When she arrived in front of his door, she lightly knocked on the frame.
"Ohayo, Sora! Are you awake? It's Aerith!"
No reply came from the inside.
"I brought you something to eat. Are you awake?"
Again, no one answered.
'Well, Donald and Goofy did say he slept like a log.
I'll just leave the tray right next to him, ne?'
She slowly grabbed the doorknob and pushed the door in.
"Sora?"
The sound of utensils hitting the floor and breaking porcelain echoed in the hallways…
-=-=-=-=-
Goofy looked toward Sora's room.
"Didja hear that Donald?"
"What?"
Donald was too busy trying to find cheap gummi parts in the paper to care.
"Sounded like somethin' broke" he puts his head against the wall, trying to listen.
Donald looked over at his companion.
'Maybe the wheels in his brain finally collapsed' he thought to himself.
"Uh, Donald, I'm gonna see if Sora's okay."
"Fine." Donald grumbled.
So Goofy opened the door that connected their's and Sora's room.
"Sora, are you alri--"
Aerith stood in front of him with her hands clasped over her mouth, frozen in horror.
"Aerith, what's wrong, didja hurt yourself ?"
And that's when Goofy saw him…
Sora was lying face-up on the floor.
But, he remained motionless and his eyes seemed…empty.
There were no pupils, just a dark shade of blue.
He had a very deep and bloody wound in his chest, where his heart was.
Blood seeped throughout his clothes and made a huge puddle on the floor.
…both were staring for awhile in shock.
"Oh my God" Aerith managed to whisper.
Leon walked in, hearing the noise and looked at the scene in front of him.
"Crap! SORA!" he rushed to his side.
It was…hopeless, he was dead.
His Keyblade lay right next to him.
And in his hand…was the Oathkeeper's Keychain.
The one he was suppose to return to Kairi.
No one knew what had happened…nor did they know what to do.
Sora's body dissolved into tiny orbs of light and left everyone breathless.
The only thing that remained…was the Keyblade.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
~*(Sora's POV: Thinking to himself)*~
My head hurt. A lot.
Actually, my whole body ached.
I couldn't even open my eyes.
Not like I wanted to anyway.
I was lost, and I didn't want to know where I was.
It wasn't a dream this time…
It was real.
I'm dead.
Or at least I think I am.
"But I still waited…"
At least Kairi's alright…
…
Kairi…
I'm sorry I can't keep my promise
I wanted to cry.
But, I found that I couldn't.
I didn't know why…I just couldn't.
//You were too easy// a voice teased.
Who's there! Where am I?
//Hehe…I'm surprised you don't remember//
Remember?
//Can you even remember anything?//
Who the heck are you?! Don't play games!
//Why should I tell you who I am?…
if you don't even know who you are…//
What…?
//That's right…your not really dead. Remember?//
I-it can't be?! It couldn't be…

A/N 1: Ugh! Crappy after-death scene! Sorry…I don't know the FF characters too well to know how they'd
react to this kind of situation…
And a double crappy ending. Let's see how I survive. X_x
A/N 2: Again, I'm sorry it took so long to update. It's been, what…four days.
Blame homework. I'm getting into 2 AP classes and what do they do?
Pour TONS of homework on me to ruin my summer break. Crap…
Now I've got three painting to finish in four weeks…double crap.
And my AOL won't let me see the intro of Ansem's Report…crapcrapcrap! (at least I've seen it
Before. 10 times already.)
