Chapter 4: Changing Winds
_____________________________________________________________
**I was still underwater, surrounded in the same darkness. I heard Sora's voice again. I looked around and saw nothing. Suddenly something from behind pushed me forwards. In front of me, I saw a faint light in the distance. It was barely visible. I swam towards it as fast as possible, afraid I would lose sight of it. The light became stronger and stronger. "Kairi," Sora said. I squinted my eyes to see him. He was reaching out, motioning for me to hold his hand. I reached out and took his hand. He pulled me into the light. A deep voice echoed all around us: "Love heals all"...**
"Kairi..." said a soft voice. Kairi groaned and slowly opened her eyes. She was comfortably lying in her bed. She felt warm hands gently holding one of her own. She looked over to see Sora looking at her with a pained expression. ~It's impossible not to get lost in his eyes...wait a minute. What the hell is Sora doing here? I thought he hated me...~ "Sora...why are you here?"
Sora looked at her in guilt. "Kairi, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault, I was an idiot for lying to you..." ~Wait a minute...lying to me? Can it be true?~ Sora continued, "After I left you today in school, I realized that I couldn't lie to you anymore. I just can't lie to someone that I love..." Kairi's heart leapt. ~He...he loves me?~ "So I went to your locker to look for you and your locker door was wide open. I saw that you took everything out and realized what you were going to do. I swear to god I ran over here as fast as I could. Kairi, I was too late. I'm so sorry." Tears began rolling down his cheek. "Mary let me in, and we found you in a bloody mess on the floor. I used my strongest healing spell on you, Curegra, to save you. It worked pretty well but you're body was still weak. I... I thought I lost you. If you di-" Kairi cut him off in a kiss.
It was so pure. So right. Sora wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in closer. After a little while they pulled apart for air. "I have been waiting for you Sora. Every night you were gone I would pray for you." Kairi whispered. Sora looked at her lovingly. "And every night I was gone I would think of you and wish I was here," he responded. Kairi smiled for the first time in a while. ~I can't believe this. He didn't only heal me physically but emotionally. I can feel my heart live again. But...~ "Wait a minute..." She began, her smile fading. "Why did you tell me that you didn't love me?" She pulled back from him and looked at him confused.
Sora looked down. "Kairi I really didn't want to have to tell you this." He hesitated. "I told you that I didn't love you anymore because I didn't want you to get hurt." He quietly laughed. "That didn't work out very well did it?"
Kairi was still confused. "How could you possibly hurt me by loving me?" Sora looked up at her with a pained expression. His eyes were shimmering with tears. "Kairi...I'm dying."
