Ties of the Heart

Chapter 3
The hooded man smirked, as he got into his ship and headed for Destiny Island. Meanwhile, Sora lay on the bed. He had to make a descision. He nodded his head, finally coming up with an answer. Kairi arrived back into the room, and walked to Sora. "Sora...I'm so sor..." she stopped short as Sora approached her. "Kairi, I've decided to stay here. I can't live without you anymore. I'm tired of waiting." He said. "Oh, Sora...but you can't abandon your title. What if the Heartless attack again and everyone needs you?" she said, and looked up at him. "I don't care. I always want to be with you. Kairi," he said, getting down on one knee. "Will you marry me?" Kairi's eyes widened. "Oh Sora... Yes, yes I will." Sora smiled, and kissed her. Kairi's eyes closed, accepting the kiss.
The hooded man arrived at Destiny Islands. He walked around, and met Selphie. "Well hi there, jacket man! What brings you to our humble island?" she said, smiling. "I come looking for a boy named Sora. Would you happen to know of him?" he said. "Well yeah, he lives with Kairi now. Around the front of the island in a brick house." She said. "Thank you." He said, and walked away to Sora's house.
"Sora...It's time to go!" Donald said, walking into the house. "C'mon Sora! We got a job to do!" Goofy said, following Donald. "Guys, I'm not going." Sora said, with his arm around Kairi's neck. "Aw phooey. I knew we shouldn't have come back here." Donald said, annoyed. "Guys, Kairi and I are getting married." Sora said, looking at Kairi, smiling, then back to Donald. Both of their eyes widened. "What?!?" Donald said, and ran over to Sora. "Are you crazy you big palooka? The heartless are coming and you're just going to quit?" Donald was furious. "I know their coming. And that's why I'm going to defeat them once and for all." Sora said, looking serious. "I talked it over with Kairi, and she said it was okay." He said. "Well...okay...but you'd better not screw up!" Donald said, walking out the door. They were bpth stopped by the hooded man, who walked into the doorway, and approached Sora and Kairi. "Keybearer, I have been sent by my master to destroy you. I will not fail my master's command!" he said, furious. "Well, okay. I'll fight you. But first, tell me who you are." Sora said, as he couldn't see the man's face. The man removed his hood, and spiked out orange hair came out. "I am Axle, one of my leader's many servants." He said, and walked outside, motioning Sora to follow him. Sora followed him outside to the shore, and readied his keyblade. Axle became surrounded with fire, as his weapons appeared. Two fire red spinning wheels. "Uh oh..." Sora said, worried.
