I just wanna say this isn't the last chapter,. Okay that's out of the way lets get on with the story, Hee hee Faithxxx
We will fight it together
"Kairi" he shouted with the rest of his friends. Then he ran and dived into the hole before it closed up, without a sane thought in his head of what would happen when he got into the hole.
"Sora" they then shouted.
===
I was falling head long into the abyss, my mind started to play tricks on me, I thought that I could feel Sora's presence, I became weaker the darkness was winning within me. I tightened my grip around the keyblade and necklace, then I felt a gentle hand grasping my shoulder firmly, I slowly opened my eyes to see Sora and his cheeky grin look back at me, I couldn't help but smile. Then a thought ran into my head 'What if the darkness took over us both'
I realised that we had stopped Sora gently turned us the right way up, I stood on his feet to stop myself falling, I looked down I still couldn't see the bottom.
Sora pulled me into a tight hug, I felt safe yet in pain. As he pulled away I threw the black keyblade in the air, then Sora instinctively slashed it into many pieces, it feel passed us and cast little drops of light. I winced in pain as I felt the darkness steadily take over me.
Sora looked me straight in the eyes not saying a word, with the energy that I could muster I picked up my hand and lay it on his cheek, I felt my self slip in and out of consciousness.
"Kairi don't leave not now...... remember what you said about my light being too bright" a felt a smile flicker on my face.
"Kairi I need you to help me, please hold onto me"
I tried my best to hold onto him but my grasp was weak, I nearly feel but Sora caught me.
"Your stronger than this," he reused what I had said to him before. I grabbed at his jacket, I tried with all my might to keep a hold of him, in the end I was partly leaning on him to stop myself falling.
"Kairi I love you." He whispered
He took his keyblade in his hand and struck himself in the stomach he withdrew the keyblade because it was in the way then he grabbed my left hand and placed it over the wound, he leaned in then gently kissed me, passing light into me, and something else, I think it was part of his spirit.
I was dragged into my own body, it was like when I entered Sora's body but instead of everything being bright everything was black with little shimmers of light that lingered like fire flies.
I ran over to Sora who stood out like a shining light against the black. He drew me into a protective hug.
"Kairi there's something here with us" he whispered in my ear. I looked round but couldn't see anything.
Then the ground started to tremble under our feet, a crack formed in the floor forcing me and Sora to part, I fell back onto the floor, while Sora managed to stay up right. We looked at each other than from the crack grew a huge heartless that grew even bigger as it sucked in the darkness from around us, leaving the place with a gray glow. The heartless was extremely tall but where its stomach was, lay a huge hole that was in the shape of a heart. It looked down at me with its gleaming eyes.
"We must fight" I shouted, I felt energy flow into me.
"Yea. Are you ready?" Sora shouted back
"Yes" I shouted back. I beckoned for the sword of hope and it appeared in my hand.
The huge heartless stood in front of use, it slashed at us which we dodged, with all the energy we had we fought it, never stopping to take a breath. It slashed at Sora he wasn't quick enough to dodge it, it hit him on his left arm Sora fell to the floor. I ran over to him a cast a barrier over us to protect us a bit and to keep it at bay (But I knew it would not hold out for long)
"Sora" I said looking at him, his arm had been broken, he could not move his hand properly without it hurting
"Kairi, I'm okay it's only my left arm. We must finish this"
I nodded
I let the barrier fall, we charged at it and slashed it, It cowered to the floor, we carried on hitting, it started to vanish, the light grew around us till the darkness was completely gone.
We both fell on the floor in pain and tired, Sora spread out into a star shape I moved over and lay gently on his chest listening to him breath. He put his right arm around me.
"Sora" I whispered "I'm sorry for what I've done, I'm sorry for everything"
"It's okay," he said as he gently stroked my hair. A gust of powerful wind grabbed us and forced us out of my spirit and back to where we floated.
Sora withdrew from the kiss, I opened my eyes to see Sora and his cheeky grin, I smiled back.
"I think we better get out of here, the others will probably be waiting" said Sora
"But how? the hole sealed up"
"I didn't think that far ahead I never actually thought I'd live this long" said Sora laughing
"Sora,"
Our weapons suddenly appeared in our hands, I held onto Sora, his left arm was still broken and he could not hold onto me and his keyblade.
Without thought we lifted them above our heads and placed them together
"Light of hope" I whispered without thought, a light beam flew from the ends of the weapons at the ceiling above us. A hole was made, we lowered our weapons which disappeared
"Hold on tight" said Sora, I hugged him as tight as I could without hurting him. Sora flew us out of the hole as fast as he could, before the hole could seal up again.
He gently landed us on the hard floor of Hollow Bastion.
"Sora, Kairi, what took you so long?" said Rikku running over to us.
"Well you know getting rid of true darkness is a bit time consuming" said Sora sarcastically
I hugged him tight again then let go.
Will was still lying on the floor, "is he okay." I asked
"Well he doesn't know what happened or what has been happening since he was hit by the light two years ago"
"ohhh" I left Sora's hug and walked over to him, as I sat down I looked at Cassie then back at Will.
"Hay, Will do you remember me?" I said soothingly
"Ummm, you do look familiar but no.. sorry I don't know who you are"
"Well I'm Kairi" I said as Will sat up
"Should we tell him what's been going on" asked Cassie
"umm.. I think its best if we don't if that's okay by you"
"Yea"
"Lets head home" said Donald
I let out a sigh, 'It's all over' I thought. A huge smile appeared on my face.
"Yea lets," said Sora gesturing everyone to follow.
==Back at the castle (home)==
I stood on the balcony of my room looking over the town and forest, listening to the song-birds, and seeing the sun set in the distance. The wind blew my hair gently, Then Sora came up from behind and gave me a one arm hug.
"Sora what did I say to you when we where in Hollow Bastion.
"You mean the light spirit of you"
"Yea" #Pause#
"Well you said that you didn't want anyone to get hurt, and that you where sorry for what had happened, and that you loved me"
"Kairi can I ask you something?"
"Yea, you can ask me anything"
"Why did you go to Hollow Bastion?"
#Pause#
"Well, I wanted to save Will."
"That's not all, is it?" said Sora
"well...." my voice trailed off
"Kairi, you can tell me anything" he said gently "So why else did you go?"
"I wanted to see... if I could protect myself.. to to stand up against darkness. I didn't do to well did I" I said with a small fake laugh
"No you did great, we conquered darkness and lived"
"Yes but it was we, so I didn't protect myself"
"Kairi, even I need help sometimes"
"You've never needed help, like when you were fighting Will"
"No your wrong, knowing that you were there, and that all of my friends were there gave me my help, my strength. Kairi from now on I will be your secret help, jus next time don't be so rash and we'll sort things out together okay"
"Yea okay"
"Kairi, there's something else I want to ask you, do you still want to marry me?"
"More than anything in the world" he spun me round
"Great,"
"You know before I said I want to keep it a secret well now I don't, I want the whole world to know I love you." I said grinning
He smiled at me.
"What is it?" I asked
"I'm gonna have to go for a few days"
"We've only just got back, why?"
"You'll see when I get back."
"Can I not go with you?"
"No you'll just have to wait here patiently, till I return okay."
"But.... I'm not patient, and I don't want to ever leave you" I said sounding a little possessive and childish
I hugged him; he rested his chin on my hair.
"I'll only be gone for a couple of days. Can you do me a favour and not tell anyone about our engagement till I get back"
"Yes. Okay"
"I better be going" he said gently, departing from me, he quickly left the room without as second glance.
I stood on the balcony for 5 minutes till I saw his ship leave, I waved energetically at it, as though I might see him wave back, and then it left.
"Hay Kairi" said Cassie opening the door a bit, "Everyone's waiting for you and Sora, and the meals getting cold"
"Sora isn't here,"
"What? where is he then." She said opening the door wider
"He left for another world, he said he'll be back in couple of days"
I turned round to face her.
"Well... lets eat I'm starved" I said linking her and heading for the dining hall.
====
"I never thought it would be this hard to fly a ship with one hand" muttered Sora to himself.
"Sora you have half a days flight in front of you are you going to be okay," said Mickey over the comlink
"I should be"
"Well good luck"
"Thanks, over and out"
The voice came back into his head 'The two that you will love'
"Will you stop saying that, I don't understand" shouted Sora to the voice, it did not reply He shook his head in frustration
===
The next morning things went on as usual, but everyone kept asking where Sora was,
"I don't know" I kept repeating.
The next few days where calm, I helped Cassie help Will with his memory, trying to miss out all the bad things that had happened to him.
===
2 weeks had passed since Sora had left, I started to feel worried, Sora said he'd be back in a few days.
I sat under the tree near the training ring, watching Cassie and Riku training, it was really funny because Riku would try his best not to hit Cassie Where as Cassie let herself go and freely hit Riku. But I knew that Riku liked this cos then he would get all her attention after the fight and she would tend to his wounds.
I absent mindedley stared into the sky, when I saw a black dot appear, it grew larger and larger then I recognised it, it was Sora's ship
"Sora" I shouted, everyone looked at me then at the sky. I ran as fast as I could to the landing dock. Just in time to see Sora leave his ship I ran over hugged and kissed him.
"Your back" I said quietly
"Yea, an I have someone you might like to meet"
"Who?"
I peered over his shoulder, at the top of the stairs looking down at us was Riku's mum, Sora's mum and my mum (even though she wasn't genetically my mum I loved her just a much) Sora's and Riku's dad had died many years ago, and my mum never actually got married, just had lots of boyfriends.
I ran up the stairs and hugged them, just behind them stood Selphie, Wakka and Tidus they looked different well older, they all smiled, I hugged everyone, till I started to cry.
As they came down on the stairs on to the docking bay a crowd gathered and welcomed them.
"I will be honoured if you all be the guests of honour at the meal tonight" said King Mickey.
"Everyone cheered. As they all left to their rooms to get ready for tonight, Sora and I remained there on the bay
"So this was your surprise?"
"Yea, do you like it?"
I looked into his blue eyes.
"I love it, do any of them know about the engagment"
"Nope I thought we could tell them all together tonight, have you told anyone?"
"No, Why have you?"
"Well.... I had to tell king Mickey,"
"Ohhh that's okay, I'll let you off then"
"Here this is for you,"
"What is it?" I asked as I looked down at the box
"Before my gran died she gave me this to give to you," he opened a small box within it was a beautiful diamond ring
"What she also said was that I was gonna marry you, and nothing would stop me, and at the time I just laughed cos you had only just come to the island and I was very young and didn't know about feelings and all that" he said smiling
"Sora"
He slipped the ring on my finger, and then we kissed, and hugged
I hugged him a bit to tight cos he yelped a bit from the pain of me leaning on his arm,
"Sorry" I said
"Don't be, I've been in worse pain than this"
"Why can't you just cure it?"
"I've tried it don't work, and anyway I get more sympathy like this, come on the meals about to start, we'll tell them all tonight"
"Yes".
= As we walked in to the hall everyone had already started, we sat down and ate our meal quietly (Nobody even notice the diamond ring that lay on my finger, they where all merry from the wine and the thought of winning the struggle against the darkness, and the guests that had arrived) at the end just before everyone was about to leave for bed, Sora stood up And called for everyone's attention.
"Everyone," the room went quiet "The threat of true darkness has gone, and all the small heartless are in disarray, we have won" a cheer rose from the table.
"But that isn't the only good news," he said pausing
"Spit it out then," shouted Riku
Sora looked at me and took my hand, and pulled me up to stand with him.
"We have and announcement" said Sora still looking at me
"Kairi has accepted my proposal of marriage, we are to be wed in the near future"
The whole table roared with chanting, and gleeful laughter, smiles appeared from everyone's faces, I felt myself blush I looked back at Sora to see him grinning from ear to ear.
