Ch.6: Secrets Exposed
*~*~*
3 months later . . .
The bright, afternoon sun was shining down happily on the tiny islands clustering to form Destiny Islands. On one particular island, the largest one, were two young adults walking along the coastline. The boy with the spiky brunette hair was especially cheerful.
Sora was bouncing around on the white sand in front of Kairi, just like he did when he was a kid. A childish grin was plastered onto his face as he ran into the ocean up to his knees.
"Come on in, Kairi! The water is great!" Sora called to Kairi, who was still standing on the beach, smiling at Sora's childish ways.
When he saw that she wasn't going to budge, he put on his "world-famous- Sora-pout" to convey her.
"Pleeeeeeze? For me?" he begged her. Kairi got a defeated look on her face.
"All right. But don't get my hair wet!" she added defensively. Sora's pout now turned into his corny grin. Before Kairi could walk slowly into the water, Sora ran out, grabbed Kairi by her legs and flung her into the ocean.
Kairi popped her head out of the water, he long red hair clinging loosely to her body. She looked up onto the shore to see Sora standing, hands on his knees bent over, laughing his head off. Kairi scowled, but then smiled slyly and hurried over to Sora. She then grabbed him by the ankles and pulled him in. Now it was Kairi's turn to laugh.
"Hey! That's not fair!" Sora protested, his brown spiky hair drooping down to his shoulders. Kairi only laughed harder at this.
"Why you!" Sora said and splashed seawater into her face. Kairi stopped laughing and put on a playful scowl.
"You little brat!" she teasingly shouted at him. Kairi also splashed water into his face. Sora laughed and splashed some more at her.
The two continued to splash water into each other's faces while laughing childishly. Night had started to fall, and they had both become tired and completely soaked. Kairi now flopped onto the sand to rest. Sora walked up beside her and also plopped down. The two of them stared up at the immense black sky. A soft breeze prickled their wet skin, making them shiver. Sora rolled onto his side to look at Kairi.
"Thank you," he said quietly to her. Kairi turned on her side to face Sora, confusion clouding her eyes.
"Thanks for what?" she asked him softly. Sora lay back down on his back and turned his gaze back on the stars.
"For saving me from the Darkness. I know that was about three months ago, but every day I am thankful for it," he told her in a whisper.
"Sora . . .tell me what happened. I mean, while you were in Kingdom Hearts. Start from where you . . .you know . . ." she whispered with difficulty, not wanting to remember about what happened that night.
"You mean what happened when that bastard ate my soul?" he injected angrily. Sora frowned at this, but sighed.
"You see, that night . . .Ansem took over my body; possessing me, and used me to his advantage. Apparently, he couldn't find anymore use for me, so he devoured my soul. After that, I remember everything going black and I could hear you calling my name. Then everything faded away . . .I woke up in Kingdom Hearts with Ansem standing over me. He told me that if I could somehow get somebody to save me, I would be free . . ."Sora told and intently listening Kairi. Kairi nodded her head, wanting more information. Sora sighed again and continued.
"So then I tried to get a hold of you by knocking you out and trying to contact you in your blackout," Sora said quietly.
"I remember that! I blacked out at Selphie's party and I saw you coming out of Kingdom Hearts! So . . .it wasn't just a dream after all . . ." Kairi interrupted thoughtfully. Sora nodded his still wet head, sending his drenched locks whipping around his face.
"Yes, I did that. Anyways, it seemed to have worked, for you came and found—I mean saved me from that place. But, after I gave you that message, Ansem put me under a sleeping spell—kinda like Sleeping Beauty's—that I would only awake if my true heart's desire found me. I guess that would be you . . ." Sora told Kairi. A faint, red glow bloomed in Sora's cheeks as he said this. Kairi smiled and placed her hand upon Sora's lightly. He looked into her eyes.
"You know, I never did lose hope that you were out there. No matter how many times Riku told me that you were gone forever, I kept believing you were alive . . . It's because I love you . . ." Kairi whispered to Sora. Sora looked thoughtful when she said this.
"I love you too, Kairi. I always have. When I was in that horrid place, all I thought about was you," he told her, squeezing her hand tightly.
Sora slowly rose to his feet, still holding onto Kairi's hand and pulled her up. When they were both standing, they stared into each other's eyes. Sora reached a hand forward, towards Kairi's face, and brushed a wet strand of long red hair out of her face. Kairi smiled when he did this, and gave his hand another gentle squeeze.
The two of them walked back down the beach towards their boat they had docked earlier, hand in hand. That night was truly the best thing they had ever experienced.
*~*~*
3 months later (again) . . .
The early morning sun was streaming in through the open window of the gigantic tree house on the largest of the cluster of islands, called Destiny Islands. Kairi and Sora had slept in the treehouse the night before (A/N: don't ask why!!!). The two were lying on a blanket side by side, still sleeping.
A noisy bird caw rang out into the morning, causing Kairi to stir and awake. A ray of sunshine beat down on the girl's face, making her shield her eyes protectively. Kairi looked to her right at the still sleeping Sora. She watched for a while, as his chest slowly rose up and down as he breathed. Then, she stood to her feet stiffly, stretched and yawned, and walked outside the treehouse on the upper deck.
The soft, ocean breeze felt good on her hot face, instantly waking her up. The ocean waves were quite rough today, so it would be difficult to row back to her home island. The sky was a light, cloudless blue as usual, with a few seagulls flying around overhead.
A pair of muscular arms wrapped around Kairi from behind, pulling her against a strong chest. Kairi tilted her head up to see Sora smiling at her.
"It's about time you woke up, you lazy bum!" Kairi teased jokingly. Sora didn't seem to mind, he just pulled her closer.
"Do you realize it's only been half a year since I came out of Kingdom Hearts? It seems so long ago . . ." he said thoughtfully. Kairi stood on her tiptoes and kissed Sora on the cheek lovingly. Sora smiled at her, as usual.
They stood in silence after that, only listening to the sea and the birds. Just then, that same dizzy feeling Kairi had gotten at Selphie's party came back to her. Her stomach lurched and her vision became blurry. Kairi staggered from where she was standing, then swayed back and forth. Sora noticed this, and caught her right as she was about to fall off the upper deck of the treehouse.
"Kairi? Kairi! Snap out of it!! Oh man . . ." Sora said frantically to the now unconscious Kairi. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her out of the treehouse and hurried down the beach towards the boats.
*~*~*
In the hospital . . .
Sora was impatiently pacing back and forth, up and down the hallway outside Kairi's hospital room. He had brought her here with great difficulty because of the condition of the seas. It has now been 20 minutes after they took her inside the room.
The front doors of the hospital opened and Riku came running in, looking frantic. He spotted Sora and hurried over to him.
"Where is she? Is she all right?!" Riku asked Sora frantically.
"She's in that room," Sora told Riku, pointing to the closed white door. "I think she is going to be fine. All she did was pass out,"
The door Kairi was inside opened and the same young, female nurse came out to face the two boys. They both looked at her anxiously, wanting to hear the news. She turned her gaze upon Sora and smiled.
"I have some wonderful news for you! Yes, your wife is fine . . ." she told Sora. Sora got a confused and almost embarrassed look.
"Kairi isn't my wife! I'm not married!!" Sora exclaimed, a faint pink glow in his cheeks. The nurse gave him a surprised look.
"I'm so sorry about that, dear. I didn't know. Anyways, your "friend" is pregnant!" the nurse cried out happily. The two boy's reactions were not the same as the nurse's.
Riku's jaw dropped in complete shock and his aquamarine eyes grew 3x their normal size. Sora's eyes grew wide too, but he just plopped backwards against a wall.
The nurse looked from Riku to Sora, a confused look on her face.
"Aren't you happy?" she asked Sora. He gave her a shocked look. The nurse shrugged her shoulders, grabbed the two boy's hands and dragged them into the room to see Kairi.
Kairi was sitting up in her bed, a shocked look also on her face. She looked up when she saw Sora and Riku enter. Sora walked to her side, shock still plastered onto his face. Kairi grabbed his hand and squeezed it.
"Sora . . .we're going to have a child . . ." Kairi whispered to him. Sora managed to smile, always causing Kairi to smile too.
"I-I can't believe it . . .this is so odd . . ." he stuttered.
"I can't believe it either!" Riku shouted angrily from across the room at them. They turned to see him red in the face and looking furious.
"Riku . . .what's—" Sora began, but was interrupted by Riku smashing his fist into the closest wall. He pulled it out, showing a large hole.
"Sora! You got Kairi pregnant!" Riku yelled at him. Kairi got a pitying look in her crystal eyes; she knew he loved her.
"Riku . . .please don't be angry!" she begged him calmly.
"I knew you shouldn't have found Sora! I knew it would lead to this! I should have stopped you! And now, you're going to have Sora's child!" Riku shouted at Kairi venomesly. Kairi got tears brimmed in her eyes when he said this. Before anyone could stop him, he ran out of the hospital room and out of the building.
