Ties of the Heart
By Corey Sonier

Chapter 1

Sora sat there on the ledge of the large rock, look into the sky.. Donald and Goofy sat there beside him, wondering what Sora was thinking. "It's been 3 years. I wonder where she's at right now?" Sora thought to himself. He was talking of course about Kairi, the girl from his island. She had been taken by the Heartless, to Maleficent, an evil Sorcerer trying to open the door to the darkness. Sora defeated her and unlocked Kairi's heart. Later in Traverse town, in the Secret Waterway, she gave him the Oathkeeper key chain. She asked him to promise to return it to her, as it was her "lucky charm". "I promise." Sora replied, and left to defeat Ansem, the ruler of darkness.

"Hello...Sora...SORA!" Donald said to Sora, trying to get his attention. "We got a mission to do! We don't have time for you to space out!" Donald said, annoyed. "Donald's right, Sora. And by the way, what're you thinking about?" Goofy said, looking at Sora. "Kairi. I need to see her. Is the Gummi Ship finished yet?" Sora asked, awaiting Donald's rude answer as always. "No! No no no no! We dont have time for that! The Heartless are starting to come out again! They're pushing through Kingdom Hearts doors! We have to go back and seal it again!" Donald screaming. "Yeah. It's ready." said Cid, a gummi ship specialist. "And by the way, I heard you talking about going back to your island. So I put in a set of Navigation gummis." "Cool. Thanks Cid!" Sora said. "We're not going anyway!" Donald said. "Aw come on Donald! It'll only be for a day!" Sora said, trying to get Donald to agree. "Aw phooey." Donald said, heading for the ship. "Here I come Kairi, here I come." Sora said to himself, getting into the ship and jetting off.

-----Meanwhile in Destiny Islands-----

"Sora...He's coming!" Kairi said as she put her hands up to her heart. She stood straight up and look at the sky. She could see the gummi ship. She could sense the boy's every movement. She remembered the courage Sora had 3 years ago. Taking everyone on who crossed his path to get to her. She smiled and waved at the ship. "There she is! Land Donald! Land by the beach" Sora said. He couldn't help but smile. He couldn't wait to see her face. It had been so long. They landed, and Sora threw open the door. He ran to Kairi and hugged her tight, she doing to same. "I missed you so much!" Kairi said, smiling as she hugged him. "I did too." Sora said. They both let go. "Gawrsh. That's so sweet." Goofy said. Kairi led Sora to her house and the two rested. "So what have you been doing these 3 years?" Kairi said. " Not much. Guarding the castle from the Heartless mostly. They're starting to come again." Sora said, looking at the ceiling. "I been waiting for you to come here. Everyday I've waited for you. then I'd go inside and play with Selphie for a while. You have no idea how much I've missed you." She said, walking over to the bed and sitting down beside Sora. Sora sat up. "Yeah, me too."
