Chapter six: A short reunion
"I believe beyond a doubt. That Kingdom Hearts...is light!" Sora shouted. The door opened and light poured out of it. Ansem's body vanished. Some say he died. But, who knows. (Of course, he's still alive. He's the crimson unknown in KH2. I think.)
Sora, Donald and Goofy ran to shut the door. As they did, another person pitched in. "Alex, what the hell are you doing here?" Sora yelled. "I...um...I got on your gummi ship and followed you here." She replied, pushing the door. "Alex!" Riku's voice yelled. "I told you I stay where you were." He walked out from the darkness the door led to.
"But I wanted to see you again." She cried. Tears streaked down her face. "Alex, don't. I'm not worth crying over." Riku told her. Sora started to walk toward them. But, a white-gloved hand stopped them. "Wait, Sora. Let them be." The person was a mouse.
"King Mickey, why?" Donald asked. "If Riku decides to be sealed in Kingdom Hearts, he may not see the girl he loves again." The mouse answered. "I guess he's right." Sora nodded.
"Yes, you are worth crying over. I don't want to lose you like my parents." She continued to cry. Riku embraced her. "I know that. But, I have to go." "Aww. How cute." Goofy said, whom Donald hit with his Dreamrod. "Hold a sec. 'Kay." She pointed at the other, watching them, "Blind!"
They had become blinded for a short period of time, so they couldn't see. When Alex turned to face Riku again, her lips met his. To her surpirse, she kissed him back. "Errr. I can't see! What's going on?!" Sora yelled. "We all can't see, you idiot!" Donald snapped at the keyblade master.
Alex closed her eyes as Riku's arms left her shoulders and went down to her waist. To feel her lips against his, Riku felt like he couldn't move at all. "Sorry to interrupt. But, someone has to go with King Mickey." Sora snapped. Upon that, they broke the kiss.
"I thought the spell would last longer than that." Alex muttered. "You coming, Riku?" Mickey started for the door. Riku looked at Alex one last time. His face had told her that he loved her and that he promised to come back to her. Alex looked at him with her sad eyes and nodded. That told him she would wait for him, even if he couldn't come back.
He turned and pushed to door to close with Sora and co. Sora's keyblade started glowing and the door was sealed. Suddenly, Alex appeared next to Kairi. "How'd I get here?" Kairi asked, looking at her surroundings.
"Kairi!"
"Sora!"
"Remember what I said before! I'm always with you too. I'll come to you! I promise!"
"I know you will!"
When you walk away,
You don't hear me say,
"Please, Oh baby, don't go."
Simple and Clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight.
It's hard to let go.
The land beneath their feet began to separate. Slowly, their hands began to slip. "Kairi!" Sora yelled. "Sora!" But, Kairi was held back by Alex. "Alex, take care of her while I'm gone." Sora said to the fifteen-year-old girl. Alex nodded.
You've giving me too many things
Lately you're all I need
You smiled and said,
"Don't get me wrong I love you But does that mean I have to meet your father?"
When we are older, you'll understand
What I meant when I said, "No, I don't think life is quite that simple."
Suddenly, the bare surroundings sprouted trees and things familiar to Kairi. "Home! It's Destiny Islands!" Kairi screamed. "Sora!" As Sora faded away, he whispered something. But, no one heard him. Shooting stars streaked across the night sky. "The gummi barrier's back." Alex said.
When you walk away,
You don't hear me say,
"Please, Oh baby, don't go."

"They'll come back. I'm sure of it." Kairi said, smiling at her new friend. "I'll wait for Riku. Even if I have to wait the rest of my life." Alex whispered. "Me too. I'll wait for Sora." Kairi said, looking out at the ocean as the sun rose. "Hey! Look, it's Kairi and someone I haven't seen before!" Selphie screamed.
The daily things that keep us all busy
are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,
"Wish I could prove I love you, But does that mean I have walk on water?"
When we are older, you'll understand It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple.
"I've got a name. It's Alexia or Alex. Whatever you want to call me." She said quickly, not looking at them, but at the horizon. "Where's Sora and Riku?" Wakka asked. "We don't know. We were separated again." Kairi answered.
"Hey! Wait, does that girl have anything to do with Riku?" Selphie asked, giving Alex the evil eye. "Selphie, it's not in your position to ask that." Tidus snapped at her. "Ya, we all know you are obsessed with Riku. But, that has crossed the line." Wakka glared at her.
When you walk away,
You don't hear me say,
"Please, Oh baby, don't go."

It's hard to let go.
"What?! I was just asking!" Selphie shrieked. "Well, here's a fact. Alex is Riku's girlfriend." Kairi said calmly. "She's WHAT?" Selphie screamed. "I gonna get a headache soon." Alex muttered.
"Alex, what's that in your pocket?" Kairi asked. "Huh?" Alex's hand reached into her pocket and there was a yellow star- shaped fruit. "That's a Paupo fruit. If two people share that, their destinies will be intertwined." Tidus said. "I wonder who gave it to her though." Selphie snorted in an unladylike way.
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings
the future doesn't
Scare me at all
Nothing's like before
"I bet Riku did." Tidus smirked. "Selphie's getting jealous." Wakka teased. "I AM NOT!" She shrieked. "Yes, you are." Alex hissed.
"You can't really hide it, you know." Kairi giggled.
"Why are you going through this again?" Mickey asked Riku. "I'm doing this because I want to forget everything that I did wrong." Riku answered, not looking at the mouse. "There was no reason to go back to my world."
King Mickey sighed, "You and Alexia are so much alike." "You knew her?" Riku asked. The mouse nodded. "It was a year ago when I met her in another world. Apparently, she was working for someone, running in and out. Alexia would disappear for a week at a time until she finally vanished."

"The day I met her was about a few weeks ago. It seemed like we've known each other since we were kids." Riku said, walking ahead. "Since you were kids? That is strange." Mickey stated, holding his keyblade, "If you want to see her again, we have to look for a way out."
"But, there's isn't a way out." Riku hissed. "If there's a will, there's a way. Don't lose sight of the light. In your case, that would be Alexia." Mickey said cheerfully.
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't
Scare me at all
Nothing's like before
"Hopefully, you're right, Mickey." Riku said as he started running. 'Please, Alex. Wait for me.'
After hours of running....
Riku stopped and rested. "Is everyone in your world that fast?" Mickey asked. "Well, the kids are." Riku said, wiping the sweat from his face.
The mouse admired his speed.
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning

"Well, well, well. Look at what we've found." A distant voice said. "A kid and rat." Another voice snorted. "I'm not a kid!" Riku yelled into the darkness.
Two figures stepped out from the darkness. Both were wearing black raincoats. "My, such a violent child, opposite to him." The figure standing on the right said. The voice indicated that the figure was a girl. "Yes, I know." The other said.
"Who are you talking about?" Mickey asked. "Never mind. I know you seek a way out of this place. There is no way out unless you join us." The girl figure said. "What if we don't?" Riku wondered outloud.
"You won't able to get out of here and Alex will die of grief if she found out." The guy figure smirked. 'How'd they know about that?' Riku wondered.
The four stood in silence as Mickey and Riku thought about the offer.
"Well, have you decide or not?" The girl snapped. Mickey looked at Riku with his 'I-think-we-should' look. "Fine." Riku snorted. The male figure and Riku shook hands. That was the last thing Riku ever saw.
Please r&r.
