Chapter 6: Homecoming

            Sora ran out of the cave and onto the beach. He gazed at the sea for a moment and took everything in. The warm sun, crashing of waves, and the sand under his feet. Then he saw her-Kairi. She was sitting on the beach. He slowly walked towards her.

            He didn't know why, but all of a sudden he was very nervous. "What do I say to her"? Sora thought. "I haven't seen her in 7 years."

            Kairi heard someone behind her, and thought it was just Selphie or someone wanting to talk or something. So she turned around, and there he was. Just standing there, staring at her.       

"Sora…Is that really you?" "Tell me it's not a dream", Kairi said softly.

"No, Kairi, Its not a dre…", but before he could finish, Kairi ran at him, and jumped in his arms, sobbing.

Sora, looked down at Kairi, and said "Its okay, I'm back now", and he just stroked his hand through her hair. They stayed like that for a few minutes.

Then Riku slowly walked towards them. Kairi saw him.

Riku! She ran up and gave him a quick hug. Oh it's great to have you back again. Were all finally together again. You guys must be hungry from your trip. I'll go make you guys some lunch. Kairi walked back in her house.

"Sora", Riku said, he looked very serious.

"Yea Riku"

"Remember all those years ago when I raced you to touch the star, and you won."

"Yeah, I do Riku"

"Well here, here's that papou fruit that you won all those years ago"

Riku tossed it at Sora, and then he walked away

Sora could see a tear in his eye.

Kairi walked back outside, "Lunch is ready guys"

Later that night Sora was lying on the beach staring at the night sky. It was a clear, starfilled night. Kairi, slowly walked over to Sora, and sat next to him

"Nice night", Kairi said

"Yeah" Sora responded

"So what did you want to talk about?" asked Kairi.

"Kairi, we have been friends since we were kids and……."

"Sora, are you blushing"?

Sora looked at the ground, no! Kairi just smiled and chuckled.

What I want to say is, Sora reached down and got the papou fruit. I miss you a lot when I was away. I want our hearts to be connected forever.

Kairi, just smiled, Sora I want that also.

Sora smiled, and broke the fruit in half, and they both took a piece.

Sora and Kairi stared deep into each others eyes. Sora felt himself moving closer to her. Hes wanted to do this for years, and now was his chance. He pulled himself real close, and just let his feelings out. He kissed her.

After the kiss, Kairi said, "Sora, I've felt the same way about you for a long time. I was afraid that you were never going to come back". Kairi, started crying softly

"Don't cry Kairi, no reason to be sad"

"I'm not sad Sora, I'm just so happy"

Sora embraced Kairi, and he just looked up at the night sky, and saw a shooting star go by.
