"Kairi!" Sora said as he stepped onto the snow white sands of Destiny Island. His journey had been long and hard but he had managed to find the Island. He wanted to see Kairi again before entering the horrible world in which Riku had been imprisoned. The sun was setting over the ocean. Sora turned around watching it. He had never noticed it before but the sun was so beautiful. The water was glittering and the waves lapped up gently onto the sands. Everything was so peaceful. Sora had been longing to see Kairi but he had wanted to see his home again for another reason. There had been so many days of none stop fighting and he was just sick of it all. All the fighting was driving him crazy. He was glad for a moment of peace and quiet away from the Heartless and the chaos they caused. He took a step forward looking around him it was just like he remembered. Now all he had to do was find Kairi. He looked ahead of him the deep blue of the bight sky casting a shadow over the houses of his Island. His Island, Sora's heart thudded with the excitement of the words. His home, he knew it was true but it seemed so unreal. He was back where he belonged. At last everything was going to be ok. He'd find Kairi, talk to her, tell her he was close to finding Riku†his heart sank as he realized that this was only temporary he was still going to have to find Riku. He'd have to leave his paradise behind and once again embark on a journey to do the impossible. But he wasn't afraid. Whatever led beyond the morning was a little later on. And regardless of warnings the future didn't scare him at all. He knew deep down nothing was like before. There was a strange feel to the air though, a weird stillness that seemed to surround everything. It was like the silence and calm in the eye of a hurricane, the awkward period of peace that let you know the worse was yet to come. Sora pushed these thoughts into the back of his mind. He had to find Kairi. His crystal blue eyes scanned the beach until they fell on the slim figure of Kairi. His heart leapt up into his mouth, he was so happy to see her. He began running toward her the wind surrounding him in a cheerful way the breeze was warm and he was just ecstatic. He felt like he was flying this entire body was tingling with an overwhelming excitement. Maybe he was blinded by his own ecstasy, maybe his mind wouldn't let him see what he didn't was to. But either way Sora missed the undying rage flaring up in Kairi's eyes.
"Oh hi Sora." Kairi said emotionlessly. Sora didn't allow himself to notice her lack of emotion. He was just so excited his head was spinning with all the things he longed to tell her. Now, he wasn't stupid he did notice the strange way she had phrased her greeting. He pushed it to the back of his mind.
"Oh Kairi!" He said panting. He was shaking from excitement and was having trouble speaking. "I've missed you so much. Donald and Goofy are still at the palace but they said I could come here to see you. We found Riku and we're going to go bring him back! Don't worry Kairi everything is going to be alright after all. There has been so much fighting though, it seems to never stop. I've become-" Sora began but Kairi finished.
"You've groan to enjoy it!" she snapped. Sora looked at her stunned. "Don't pretend you haven't Sora!" She was now screaming at him. He backed up slightly. He began to say something but Kairi wouldn't let him. "You've become so horrible Sora! I told you not to change! You shouldn't be fighting the heartless anymore you should be joining them! That's what you really are Sora! A Heartless!"
"Kairi no." Sora whispered. Each word struck him like a blow from Ansem himself. His deep blue eyes which only seconds ago had been shining with incomparable ecstasy were now dimmed down showing only hurt and confusion. "Kairi please."
"Don't 'Kairi please' me!" Kairi yelled. "You should never have gotten those Keyblades look what they've done to you Sora! Just look around you is this what you want?" Sora looked around him as ordered but everything seemed to be ok. "Stop pretending Sora you've become just as bad as Riku."
"What happened to Riku wasn't his fault!" Sora cried. Kairi had just crossed over the line. "You and I both know that Riku saved us. If he hadn't helped me close the doors then who knows what could have happened?" Sora shouted. He calmed himself down and took Kairi's hand inside his own.
"Don't you defend him!" Kairi yelled. She snatched her hand back a struck Sora across the face. Sora fell to the ground tears streaming down his face. He just sat there shaking with the shock. The overwhelming power of Kairi's words was still ringing in his ears. He stared at her unsure is it was just some nightmare or if this was really happening. He felt the stinging on his right cheek. He put his hand over it. It was real alright.
"Kairi howâ€how could you?" he got up and ran away as far as he could. Tears streaming down his face. He saw the secret place not to far up ahead. He ran inside sitting down in the middle. It was pitch black inside but he didn't care he just needed time to gather up his thoughts. Maybe he was evil after all. Maybe after all this time he had been the control of Darkness. Ansem had said that all hearts were born in the darkness, even his, and maybe that had more meaning then Sora had realized on his first encounter.
"Sora, you seem upset. Is there anything I can do?" asked a voice. Sora figured it was just one of the islanders coming to see what all the commotion was about. The speaker had been male, so it couldn't be Selphie. Sora figured it had to be Wakka talking to him.
"Go away Wakka I don't want to talk about it." Sora snapped. He brought his knees up to his chest and rested his arms on them. There was a long moment of silence before anyone spoke again. This was a bit unusual since Wakka was normally pretty talkative. Sora figured he had been wrong and it was actually Tidus behind him.
"Don't worry Sora. I have three words for you that will make it all better." the person said. Sora felt something cold being sprayed on him. "Good night Sora." whoever was behind him was laughing. Sora felt his muscles relax without his permission. The cave spun around him until it was no more then a grayish blur. He closed his eyes overcome with a sudden fatigue. "Goodnight for a long, long time." the person laughed. Or at least that could have been what they said. Sora couldn't tell and to tell the truth he really didn't care. All he wanted to do was sleep.
