Chap4

The next day we packed up and continued until we got to the main part of the town. It's been a least a month since I left Destiny Islands. It's weird I don't really miss it yet. All I want to do is to find Sora and tell him that I love him, regardless if he feels the same way or not. Then maybe we'll find Riku and all return together to the Destiny Islands and be all happy and right. Yea right. For some reason things never turn out that way.

Finally we reached the middle of the town. When we got there the whole town was running away toward the direction we came. I stopped some one and asked what was going on. They said that they were being attacked by the heartless and the unknowns. They said that 3 people were defending them but to know avail. They were losing. Two were already knocked out and the other one was just getting by. So I ran to where the fight was going on. All I kept thinking was it's Sora, we've finally found him. When I got there I found that I was right, that it was Sora. He had different clothes on but I knew it was him. His back was turned to me. He was about to get attacked when I took out the Oathkeeper. Sora finally turned around.

"Kairi" Sora exclaimed. "You've finally made it."

"Yea sorry I took a while."

"It's ok, you can explain later right now we have to finish these guys off."

"Right" I said.

Then Leon said "and we'll help to."

So it was Sora, me, Leon, and Yuffie fighting the heartless and the unknown. After we beat them we all collapsed onto the ground tired and breathless. All except Leon.

"Leon" I asked "are u alright?"

"Someone's behind the bushes."

"What is it another heartless or an unknown?"

"Neither" he replied "it's a person. I saw someone using magic spells to help us, and I think I know who it is."

He started walking in the direction of the bushes. While he was walking towards the bushes a person stepped out from behind them. Leon stopped dead.

"R-Rinoa?" Leon said.

"Hello Squall." she answered. As soon as she said his name they ran to each other and embraced.

"Rinoa, I've missed so much. Where were you?"

"I've been here in Twilight Town. I've been searching for you but I couldn't find a way out of this town. Where have you been?"

"I've been in Traverse Town."

"Where's that?"she asked puzzled.

"It's another world."

When they finally pulled apart Leon kissed her and said

"Rinoa I love you." She looked startled, but then she put on a big smile and replied

"Squall I love you to."

Then Sora leaned over and whispered in my ear

" Maybe we should give them some time alone, lets go for a little walk."

"Ok" I said.

So he took my hand in his and we started to walk a little ways off. I was trying not to blush as I thought about Sora holding my hand.

As we were walking a powerful Firaga hit me straight in my back causing me to fall on my knees and gasp in pain. Sora immediately kneeled beside me and asked

"what happened?"

" Damn it" I managed to say through clenched teeth.

"Someone fired a very powerful Firaga at me."

"Who" asked Sora.

"If I knew I would be kicking his ass right now."

Then we heard a cold laugh deprived of any kind of feeling. It was almost like they had no heart.

" Very funny Lady Kairi."

When we heard that voice we both said "Ansem" at the same time. We both turned around at the same time. Sora tried to hid me behind his back, but I stepped out from behind him and asked

" Why did you call me 'lady' Kairi?" "You really don't remember anything do you Lady Kairi?"

At that moment a flood of memories came back to me at frightening speed. I had to hold on tightly to Sora to keep from falling. Luckily Sora held onto me tightly so I wouldn't fall.

"Kairi what's wrong?" asked Sora.

"My- My Memories are coming back. From before I came to Destiny Islands."

Then I gasped in horror. "He-He's my uncle." I stammered.

"Who" asked Sora.

"Ansem is" I replied.

"What !"everyone replied. Every one except Ansem (of course), Leon, Rinoa, and Yuffie. I looked at them all.

"You knew, didn't you, that he was my uncle"

"Yes we did lady Kairi"

"Don't call me that." I snapped. Then I yelled even louder "You knew and you didn't tell me. Why? I have a right to know. This is my past, my history, my family we're talking about and you hid it from me."

Then I whirled to face Ansem "and you , you disgrace our family name."

"Lady Kairi do you really think I care?"

"Obviously not." All of a sudden another memory came back to me. This time one of my mother.

"Let me ask you something Ansem. My mother was a powerful sorceress right?"

"Yea that's right, but not even her magic could save her. She died fighting the Behemoth."

"Maybe so" I replied "but she died defending her country. More than you'll ever care to do. Wait if she was a sorceress, and I'm her daughter that means that I have probably inherited her powers."

"Yea probably." said Ansem.

"Well" I said "lets just test those powers out why don't we. For a minute I saw a flicker of fear in Ansem's eyes. Good I thought he's scared. So I gathered all of my negative feelings into to a powerful firaga. "Firaga" I shouted. It was so powerful that it knocked him down flat on back. I kept going with powerful combos attacks. Unfortunately it wasn't enough, because he knocked me down and used magic and combos on me himself. Then he grabbed me by the neck and started to fly high into the sky. Sora tried to help but Ansem used stopaga on everyone to stop them from interfering. I gathered all of my remaining strength into a firaga. Then the stop spell wore off and I heard Sora calling my name as I released my attack. Ansem used stopaga again on everyone right before my attack hit him. The last thing I remember seeing before I blacked out was Ansem dying in a cloud of black smoke.
