~Chapter 7~
A bag dropped to the floor as a pair of black boot walked past it. A body, with now head shown, sat down in the chair sat down and tapped their fingers against the armrest. He smiled, "It's almost time."
"You think there's something wrong with Sora? Like do you think you know what it is?" Kairi asked. She looked over at Leon who was sitting at the table with his arms crossed and his head down. Kairi stared at him and then put the last dish away, "Well?"
"It's an inner problem." He replied silently.
She leaned against the counter with her hands on it, "What do you mean? Like he's not feeling good?"
"No." he paused. "There's something in his mind. It's showing him images."
"So what's the problem with that?" Kairi asked sitting down with a cup of tea.
"They're images he doesn't want to see." Leon replied getting up and walking out.
Kairi sighed and got up leaving her tea on the table. She walked up the stairs and up into her room and sat down on the bed. She opened the drawer of her nightstand table and pulled out a piece of paper, the letter they received mysteriously the other day. "Leon read it and he didn't do anything. Yuffie I didn't get a chance to talk to." She looked up and out through the door, "Where did she go anyways?........She had a whole bunch of stuff on the floor yesterday, like some shirukens and some extra clothes. What if she's leaving?" She got up and left the letter on her bed and ran into Yuffie's room. She looked around, everything neat but still in an odd way. She sighed and then walked out closing the door. On the back of the door though was a list. A list of participants for what said a tournament.
"GET UP!" Donald yelled whacking Sora in the back of the head. "You have some serious training to do!"
Sora looked at him then flicked him in the head, "Would you shut up about training, that's all you ever make me do."
"Because you have a serious event coming up and if you lose!!!!!!!!!!!" Donald began to yell.
"You die, "Sora finished, "YES I know but I'm tired of training, couldn't ya like.............go do training on your own, go train with Goofy."
Donald looked at him, "Fine if you wanna die go ahead, your funeral." and walked away.
Sora watched him and then sighed and stood up. He yawned and stretched and then walked down the hill into the town. He walked down the road passing people houses while little children played in their yards. People ran down the hills, people eating outside, just over all being happy.
He put his hands in his pocket and stopped walking with his head down. A girl walked past him dark blue boots and carrying a bag. She she got past him he turned around and his eyes went wide. The girl was wearing a plaid skirt and looked just like Kairi. He wanted to run up and see her but he couldn't. She disappeared down the hill soon after. He turned back around and kept walking down the dirt path. He soon reached a house with an iron gate around it. He pushed it open and walked into the yard.
Kairi leaned out the window, "BOUT TIME!"
His head shot up and he smiled, "Sorry I was thinking again."
"You've been thinking a lot lately haven't you?" Kairi asked.
His eyes went wide again as a picture flashed through his mind. Kairi, Riku, and him back on he island sitting on the poupu tree talking. Riku said he was thinking and then Kairi said that same thing.
"Hey Sora." Kairi said.
He shook his head as the memory faded. He looked up at her, "Ya?"
"What have you been thinking about anyways?" She asked.
"Huh?"
"What have you been thinking about? Leon says that images are going through your mind." She said.
"Oh ya images." He said putting his hands in his pockets again.
"Only he said they were bad images." She said reaching into her pocket.
Sora looked at her, "The images................they're haunting me. They're from the past. Past things that I heard from people. Like you and Riku. Like when we were on the island but then you turned into stone, me too. Riku he acted strangely like he was possessed by--by him."
"By who?" She asked.
"By Ansem............" He replied.
"Who's that?" She asked again.
"The person I fought, I fought him right before I saw you that last time. When we were separated from each other." He replied.
"So...........what.......they scared you?" She said leaning over.
He put his head down and then nodded slowly, "It was something that just struck me. It hurt to hear it, to see it."
Kairi stared at him and then remembered, "OH! This letter came in the other day. You just haven't been here for me to give it to you. If ya ask me it's kinda creepy."
He looked up and took the letter and read it. He looked up at Kairi but she had already gone inside. "A surprise." He smiled and then pulled his keyblade out and put it down like a staff, "Well then I'll just have to see this surprise."
