Ah yes, chapter 7. As I'm sure you can tell by the title there's a bit of a surprise in here for you. Hope you all like it!
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Kingdom Hearts. In my own little world I do but that doesn't count now does it? Ha.
Claimer: I DO own Falina, Ceres, Narimo, the plot, and the world they're in right now.

"Please don't cry. I know your past is sad, but...I'm here, and I'll never leave you." Sora said softly while resting his head on the side of hers. They stayed like that until the sun went down. Him gently rocking her and comforting her, and her sobs slowly starting to fade.
She eventually stopped crying, but she still lay there resting with her head on his chest, and his arms around her. She moved up so that her head was on his shoulder, and the bridge of her nose against his neck. It surprised him a bit, but he quickly relaxed.
"Do you remember, when you said, that, you'll always be here, and that you'll never leave me?" She asked, not moving from where she was. Sort of wondering where she was going with this, he replied.
"Yeah, I remember. Why?"
"Do you promise?" She said quickly, almost taking him by surprise.
"Huh, promise what?" She was somewhat surprised he forgot so quickly.
"That, you'll always be with me." She answered. He smiled softly.
"Yes, I promise." And with that, he simply hugged her tighter. She slowly looked up at him and smiled. He looked down at her smiling a bit, still somewhat surprised. She looked so grateful, and happy sitting there in his arms. The thought that maybe Falina liked him more than a friend once again crossed his mind. He also, once again, searched his own feelings for her.
He looked down at her innocent and beautiful face, and then, looked down at her soft lips. In looking at her, he realized that...he was developing feelings stronger than friendship for her. She had thought of it before as well, not yet coming to the same conclusion yet, but that would change soon. His realization slightly startled him, since he came to it rather quickly. But now he didn't mind it at all.
She still stared up at him wondering why he was still staring at her, as if trying to find somehing. She mainly wondered what he was thinking. She had an idea what it was, but she was sure she wasn't right. Sora was still staring straight into her forest eyes, and her into his cobalt ones. He decided that this was a better time than any.
He slowly leaned toward her, pausing briefly to rethink. She knew what he was going to do, but she found that, strangely...she wanted him to. Sora continued slowly leaning toward her, and now knowing that she wasn't going to turn away, put his lips to hers, and softly kissed her. It only lasted but a second, but it still felt...well...good. It felt so perfectly right. Their lips only seperated but a few centimeters, and they kissed again, only longer, and this time she kissed him back. Both of them enjoying every second of it.
Though they didn't want to, they broke the kiss. They slowly opened their eyes, looked at each other and slightly blushed. Falina turned her head, a small smile on her face. Sora still stared at her, smiling as well. She put her head back on his shoulder, and he rested his cheek on her head. They sat there, silently staring at the small fire. Too tired to move, they eventually they fell asleep there,in each others arms.

While that was going on, Ceres' minions were out flying around in search of the girl with the celtic cross necklace. They often stopped and rested even though they weren't supposed to. They didn't like Ceres, but he was stronger than them, and supported them better than they could probably do on their own. Besides, Ceres threatened to put them through eternal hell if they disobeyed him, and ya can't really argue with that.
Back at his castle, the witch whom resides with him was asked to do a very difficult spell that would let him see Falina through a mirror-like object. The witch, named Narimo, did not agree in doing it because it would use vast amounts of her magic. So ceres offered her twice as much magic as she had now, and she reluctantly agreed. She cast the spell and the mirror in which the picture would appear, lit up. They could then see Sora and Falina, still asleep in each others embrace.
"Who the hell is that?" Ceres asked, referring to Sora.
"I do not know. He must have been near her when you brought her here." Narimo answered.
"Yes he must have. No matter." He looked at them sleeping in the others embrace, and figured that Falina was in love with the boy, and the boy with her. A sinister grin formed on his face, because he had thought up a plan, a horrible plan. Narimo looked at him suspiciously.
"What are you thinking this time, Ceres?" She asked.
"Oh nothing, just another scheme of mine. If you'll excuse me, I've got something to work on." And then the tall, thin figure of Ceres left the room.

Back at Destiny Islands, Riku was going over to Sora's house, since no one had heard from them in a while. Kairi and Selphie were going to go too, but they thought maybe Sora was mad at them all for something.
Riku didn't think that. He knew it wasn't like Sora. When he got there he knocked on the door. No answer came. He knocked again only louder. Still no answer. He opened the door and went inside.
"Is anybody here?" He said loudly. He listened, but heard nothing. He checked the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and then the bedroom, all while yelling out Sora and Falina's names.
When he entered the bedroom, he saw a blue pillar of light coming up from the floor right beside the bed. It wasn't that big, just large enough for a person to stand in.
"What the hell..." He whispered.
