Author's Note:I'm going to say this once more. I'm new at this. That's why there's been some mistakes. In the first chapter Sora's 17 and the Rikku in the second chapter is the Rikku from Final Fantasy X, not Riku from Kingdom Hearts. Sorry for the confusion. If you have the time reread the last chapters before continuing with this. And I'd like to thank everyone who pointed these two mistakes out. One last thing, when I spell Rikku that's FFX Rikku the girl. And when I spell Riku that's KH Riku the boy. Whew, okay!

Riku was right in front of him in the darkness. Sora was just a few feet away from him. He reached out, but as he did Riku walked away. "Riku!" Sora called, but it was answered by silence. He then started to sink his vision was becoming blurry. Darkness was everywhere and then. "Light." Said Sora weakly. His vision came back into focus.

He was in a room on some ones bed. The window was open revealing the sun. It burned Sora's eyes. He hadn't seen such brightness since he was back on Destiny Island. So did he make it?

Meanwhile everyone was on shore. "Man, I can't believe Sora's back!" said Wakka after hearing the news. "So where is he?"

"Back in my room" replied Kairi.

Everyone was glad to hear the news, even Zell, Rikku, and Yuna who had never met Sora before. Rikku was busy playing fetch with Pluto. "Ready? Fetch!"

"So is Riku here?" asked Tidus, but Kairi didn't answer right away.

She was looking down at the sand as she slowly shook her head. "Aw, don't worry about old Riku he'll be fine!" said Jetch who was there talking to Chip and Dale. "So Dale, tell me more about this gummi ship."

"Well, when he wakes up he better explain why he was gone for so long. I mean you told us about the key blade and all that, but that's still no excuse." Said Selphie. "So do your parents now you have a boy in your bedroom?"

Kairi gave a smile "Yeah they know. They said that Sora can stay with us as long as he needs to till we can contact his parents some how."

"So Kairi whose dog is this?" asked Rikku as the game came to an end.

"I think it's Mickey's dog." She replied. "And Mickey is the king of a couple of friends Sora had." She finished.

"Well I got a ton of questions I'm going to ask him." Said Tidus "I mean he went to other worlds."

"Well I'm sure he'll wake up soon." said Kairi, but Sora was already awake.

Sora found Riku's sword and slowly moved downstairs. He hid it in his pocket and under his shirt. Soon he came to the end of the stairs and into a kitchen. It was empty, but a plate of bacon and eggs were on the table. Licking his lips he made his way to the table quickly. And taking one last look around he started digging in to the food. He hadn't had anything to eat in a while.

When he was done he slumped into a chair sighing "That was good." But as he sat the door opened and in walked a woman.

Sora drawled the sword by instinct and then wish he hadn't. The woman let out a scream making Sora drop the weapon. "Sora what on Earth are you doing?!!!" she screamed.

"I'm sorry maim I'll.wait how do you know my name. misses-misses-you're Kairi's mom!" he said astonished.

"That's right and I don't know where you've been, but apparently you haven't learned any manners!!!! Pulling a weapon on a lady, well I never!!!!" she picked up the sword with two fingers and dropped it in the trash not willing to look at it.

"Maim I'm really sorry" he said pleadingly. "I just-

"Did you eat?!" she interrupted.

"Well yeah, but-

"Then I suppose you'll want to see Kairi. Get going"

"But maim" sorry said.

"Go!"

Sora bit his lip then decided it'd be best just to obey her. And his way out he dug up Riku's sword. Waling down the patio steps he breathed the fresh air. It had never felt better. Sora ran across the shore and stopped to see the surroundings.

At shore Jetch and Wakka were having a match. "You ready, man?" shouted Wakka.

"Couldn't be more prepared!" shouted Jetch back, but was no sooner hit in the face with the ball. "Owe!"

Wakka ran forward throwing a bunch of attacks, but Jetch hit back each one. Wakka tried his special by jumping up in the air and throwing with all his might. For this Jetch used his spere shot. Knocking Wakka off his feet. Jetch however fell on his back with a loud thud. "Ooohhh you're so embarrassing dad" said Tidus.

Wakka got back up and did a little victory dance. Then threw his ball to the ground as it bounced back up and away. It started to role away when someone stopped it with their foot. Tidus and Wakka stared at this person with their mouths open. "Hey Wakka, that's quite a victory you got there." Said Sora.

"Heh, heh" Wakka gave a faint smile "W-well brother, I am the champ you know."

Kairi and Yuna were walking on another side of the beach near the shore. "I'm glad we're getting to talk Yuna, you're always spending time with Tidus."

"Well that's cause I love em" Replied Yuna. "I mean you know how it feels to be in love right?"

Kairi blushed. "W-what do you mean?"

"Well everyone's always saying how much you liked Sora" said Yuna.

At this Kairi turned pink in the face. "i guss so."

"What was that?" Yuna said laughing.

"Cut it out Yuna!" yelled Kairi.

This just made Yuna laugh even more.

Back on the other side of the beach Sora was telling Wakka and Tidus about what happened. "So that's when I ran into heartless ships. I managed to get rid of a lot of them, and get away from the others, but that one was able to keep track of me and followed me here." Said Sora taking a long breath.

"So uh, this war is over now, right?" asked Tidus unsure. "Right Sora?"

Sora wasn't able to answer. He had told all, but three things. The war wasn't over, Riku had died and Kairi was the second key blade master. "So man, what happened to Riku?" asked Wakka. "Hey Sora I'm talking to you!"

Sora just ignored Wakka. He just didn't have it in him to tell what really happened to Riku. "Oh fine, be that way." Wakka said as he tossed the ball into the air catching it.

"So what happened to you?" asked Tidus looking at the scar across Sora's face.

"Iiii've been in a lot of fights" answered Sora.

Tidus gave a sigh. It was obvious that Sora was not going tell them much. They walked around the shore till they bumped into Rikku and Zell. "Oh, hey you guys." Said Tidus.

"Hey Tidus." Replied Rikku eyeing Sora. "Who's this?"

"This is the guy we've been telling you about, Sora," said Wakka.

"This is Sora?" asked Zell "Well nice to meet you, I'm Zell, but I'm sure you've heard all about me!"

"No, they haven't mentioned you." Said Sora holding out his hand.

"Oh, really? Well that's probably because I've beaten them so many times!" said Zell punching the air.

"Name once!" said Wakka laughing "Like I said, I'm the champ!"

"Really?" said Sora amazed. "Think you'll give me a shot?"

"Um, uh, fight you Sora?" said Wakka with a shaky voice.

"You're not scared are you Wakka?" asked Rikku.

"Of course not! You're on Sora!"

Sorry it took so long. I've been very busy. But I've got the rest of the summer free so chapters for both my fanfics will be coming in quicker!
