-------------------------------------
Sora and Kairi lied on Kairi's bed, both silent, except for Kairi's sobbing noises. Kairi could stop, but tried and just made it worst. She started to hiccup, and then tried holding her breath so it would stop. Now she was basically in her own world. Sora looked at her as she was covering her mouth with her hand, with her cheeks all puffed up. Kairi finally stopped, but just realized she was still holding on to Sora, who was staring at her with his blue eyes. His mouth opened with a smile, and she smiled back with a slight blush. But then Sora burst out in laughter, and he was laughing so hard that you could see the tears come out of his blue eyes.
"Hey! What's so funny?" Kairi demanded.
"You should have seen yourself when you held your breath, it was so cute!"
"Me? Cute?" She looked at him with eyes that told him she wanted an answer. And it had to be a good one.
"Umm.. Yeah, Kairi.. You were cute.." He looked back at her, but you could tell by her facial expression that Sora chose the wrong answer.
"Oh.. Okay.."
"Hey, you are cute, Kairi! You're the cutest girl I've ever met!"
"Name the girls that you've met."
"Selphie, Alice, Cinderella, Snow White, Jasmine, Tinker bell.. Okay, let's just say I've met many."
"Well, I guess.." She started to look a bit disappointed, so Sora had to think of something good to say fast.
"Kairi, did you miss me?"
"Huh?" She blushed
"Did you miss me?"
"Yes.. Of course I did.." She whispered as she tightened her grip around Sora's waist.
"Then do you want this moment to end?"
"No.."
He smiled at her, but he didn't look happy, more like a disappointed kind of expression. He sat up as Kairi got out of the way, and held onto Kairi's hand.
"What do you think about Sky?" he asked in a gentle voice.
"Sky? He's a good guy, and he helps me quite a bit, but he's just you pretending to be another person, right?"
"Kairi.. I'm not Sora anymore.."
"What?"
"I'm not the Sora you once knew.."
"Sora, what are you talking about?"
"Sky isn't me, he's a different person, or spirit, or whatever he is."
'I'm human!' Sora heard from a voice inside his head.
"Sora, are you saying that Sky lives within you?"
"Yes, that's why I can't stay with you until I help him finish his task."
"But, I don't want to wait any longer!" she brought Sora's hand up to her mouth, as if she would never let go.
"It won't be long, but I sorry that you have to forget this moment so soon."
He let go of her, and the keyblade started to shine with red light. Sora held up the keyblade, and pointed it towards Kairi. He didn't want to do it, but he had to. A ray of light shot from the keyblade, and it hit Kairi right on the forehead. Kairi's eyes were wide open, and she fell to the floor. A small red keyhole appeared her head, and if you looked closely enough, you could see the scenes of Sky turning into Sora, and how Kairi was talking with Sora. Sora bent over, and touched the keyhole with left hand. There was a sound of something being locked, and the red keyhole on Kairi's forehead disappeared. He changed the keychains on his collar and his keyblade.
"I'll be back.. I promise.."
He gave Kairi a light kiss on the cheek, and closed his eyes. When he opened them after two seconds or so, the left eye was back to its blood red colour. But his right eye turned completely blue instead of turning red. He picked up Kairi, and carried her back down to the kitchen. He set her down onto a chair, and started to wrap a bandage around his blue right eye.
"Kairi, wake up!" Sky shouted in Kairi's ear.
"Oh, is it morning?"
"Um.. We just finished dinner, Kairi.."
"Oh. Oops, then I must've fallen asleep after I ate my dinner."
"Hey, it's alright, I'll do the dishes. You can go to bed first if you're tired."
"Okay."
She walked upstairs and opened the door to her room. She changed into something more comfortable, and fell onto her bed. She touched her cheek, and for some reason, she felt like it was the most comfortable feeling she had ever felt. She fell asleep, with her finger still touching her cheek.
'I'll be back.. I promise..' Kairi heard from within herself, but didn't give it much thought as she drifted off to her own dream world.
Sky just finished the dishes, and so he went up the stairs to check on Kairi. She was asleep, so he went next door to his room and casted Cure on himself.
'Are you sure your cheek is okay? Even I could feel it!'
"Hey, I got the worst of it, now let me change and I'll just talk to you in my dreams, Sora."
'Okay..'
Sky took off his black jacket and his red shirt, leaving only his red pants. He curled up in bed, and fell asleep. Bright light shone through his window, and the light woke him up. It wasn't morning yet though. A black figure came through the walls and the window, but this figure wasn't like the ones before. Sky walked over to the figure, which looked more female. He waved his hand; to greet her. The figure did the same thing.
"Why are you here, I thought I told you I'm not going." He said.
"But you must."
"Hey, I have the right not to."
"You shouldn't be so selfish, though."
"Neither should you."
"I have a better reason than you do."
"Just leave me alone."
"No."
The figure grabbed Sky, and he was surprised. He looked at her grip on his arm, and then looked at the figure's face.
"I can't leave you here."
"You can, now let me go!"
"It's for your own good, Sky!"
"Hey, I know what's good for me, and this isn't!"
"You don't understand. We need you!"
"I've made up my mind."
Sky tried to get the grip of the female dark figure to loosen, but it didn't seem to be working. Kairi woke up, and heard some noises coming from the next room, so she decided to go over and check if anything was wrong.
"I'm taking you back, whether you like it or not."
"Let me go!"
Kairi opened the door after hearing Sky yell. She had to do something, and fast, or her new friend might be in danger. She started to throw some things at the figure, but she dodged every one of them. The figure wasn't expecting Kairi to wake up so soon, so she had to retreat with Sky before everything was revealed.
"I have no time for you, young one. I shall be on my way."
"Hey! You put him down!"
The figure went through the wall, and landed outside. She looked up, and she saw some more unexpected company. Riku was holding his wooden sword, and tried to hit the figure. The figure used Sky as a shield as she put him in front of her to stop Riku's attack. Riku hesitated, and the figure pushed him aside.
"It's too late; he's going back to where he belongs!" The figure shouted at Riku.
"Sky, kick her!"
Sky tried to do as Riku had told him, but it didn't seem to have any effect on her. The female figure ran into the cave where Kairi and Sora drew pictures. Kairi went out of her house, and saw Riku running after the figure. She followed and ran as fast as she could. They went inside.
"What?"
The cave didn't look right. All the drawings were gone, and it didn't even look like the way it used to.
"This place.. It's the one in my dream.." Kairi said to herself, without knowing Riku was able to hear what she said.
"Kairi.. Have you been to a place similar to this one?"
"No, but I was here when I was dreaming.. It's the place where Sora was injured and he.."
"Kairi.."
"He stopped breathing in this place, in my dream." Kairi said as a tear fell from her eye.
"Look Kairi, Sora's okay, and he's not dead. Now let's go help Sky."
Sky was lying on the floor. Obviously, he was knocked out by that female figure. Riku could see that the figure was about to leave with Sky through a portal. Riku ran over to them, but when he got half way to the point they were standing, he was suddenly frozen. Riku tried to continue towards them, but he couldn't move. The figure picked up Sky, and started to go through the portal.
"No!" Both Riku and Kairi cried.
Kairi ran after them, but was she was seen by the female figure, she froze too.
"Come back here!" She cried.
Suddenly, Sky's eyes opened, and he kicked the figure so that he was free again. The figure recovered, and headed towards Sky. Sky closed his eyes, and then opened them again. The figure saw the purple left eye, and stopped. She turned around angrily, and marched through the portal alone. Riku and Kairi started to feel very weak, and they both fell to the ground. The cave was back to normal, and Sky stood there as he waited for his eyes' colour to change back. After it did, Sky carried Riku and Kairi back to Kairi's house, and let them sleep for the rest of the night.
"I'm sorry, Riku, Kairi. I didn't mean to cause you any harm." He whispered.
Riku woke up, and realized that he was sleeping on Kairi's couch. He felt like going back to sleep, but someone hit him on the head.
"Ow! What the h-"
"Heck." Sky finished.
"It was going to be hell, but oh well." Riku commented.
"You should be thankful that I woke you up. Kairi was going to wake you by hitting you where it hurts."
"Where?"
Sky used his index finger and pointed straight down. Riku understood immediately.
"Thanks.."
"You're welcome, and if you want, you could stay for breakfast."
"It's okay; I've got breakfast made at home."
"We're having pancakes."
"On second thought, I think I'll stay. I'm tired of having fish everyday."
"I'll go tell Kairi."
Kairi was flipping the pancakes, but she did it quite clumsily. Sky took over as he told her Riku was eating too, so Kairi went to talk with Riku.
"You have a good sleep?"
"I guess, but why was I here again?"
"You were going to see me undress in the morning, weren't you!?" Kairi said, pointing at him as she giggled.
"What the hell!" He blushed.
"Just kidding!" She started to laugh out loud.
"Oh well, I don't remember, but THAT definitely wasn't the reason."
"Maybe Sky knows."
"Maybe.."
"Let's ask."
Kairi sat down at the table with Riku as Sky served the pancakes. They were golden brown, and they smelled great. [Author's note: I don't care if they don't know what pancakes are, it's in this KH fic. ^_^U] Sky took off his apron, and they all started to eat. Kairi was very satisfied with the pancakes, and wanted more.
"Kairi, what happens if you eat so much that Sora won't recognize you because you're fat?" Riku said.
"I'm still going to be as pretty as I am now, Riku!" Kairi talked back.
"I'll still recognize her." Sky said.
Riku and Kairi looked at him. Sky covered his mouth quickly. There was complete silence after that conversation. Riku finished, and went home before his parents woke up and realized he was gone. Sky and Kairi went outside onto the beach to teach Kairi how to aim with a slingshot. Tidus was fighting with Selphie this time, but didn't really take it seriously. After a couple more normal weeks of training, Kairi had mastered her aiming skills, and they decided to start their journey to find Sky's home. But then, they just realized that they didn't have a ship or anything to get them into inter space. Sky said he could use his magic for transportation, and shocked everyone.
"I could use 'Float' to transport us to other worlds. All I need to do is cast it on something big enough to get us all on board."
Now there was more work to do. They had to build a ship or something. Riku took out the old rafts that they made before, and started to combine it with some of Wakka's old stuff. It worked, but it looked a bit hideous. Kairi and Tidus asked their parents for paint, and they painted the 'ship' with white paint. Selphie said it looked boring, so she painted the word 'ciel' on the side of the ship.
"What does ciel mean, Selphie?" Sky asked.
"It's your name." She smiled.
"What?"
"It means sky in another language."
"Oh, I see now."
The ship was finally done, but they all forgot that they had to FIT into it. The six teenagers tried to get in without suffocating, but all six people inside the ship was too much.
"I don't want to start over again.." Kairi moaned.
"Let's use rock-paper-scissors to see who has to be left behind." Tidus suggested.
They gathered around in a circle, and started. The one who lost at the last round would be the one staying. Sky watched as he waited for the results. Selphie was the first to be chosen to go on the adventure, then Kairi and Riku. Tidus really wanted to go, and so did Wakka. They were both nervous, and Tidus started to sweat. Tidus lost to Wakka most of the time in fights and other things too. He wasn't sure if Lady Luck was with him, but he had to do something to determine the one staying. Tidus and Wakka stuck out their hands.
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
Both had closed eyes, and they waited for a sign.
"Oh my god.. Tidus actually beat Wakka!" Selphie cried.
They opened their eyes, and Tidus had paper, while Wakka put out rock. It was decided, and Wakka was going to be the one that stayed on Destiny Islands.
"I'm sorry, Wakka.." Tidus apologized.
"Hey, it's okay. I'll stay and make sure I tell Sora where you all went when he comes back."
"Thanks, Wakka." Kairi said.
Sky waved his hand, and Float was casted onto the ship. Everyone got on, and the handmade gummi ship went up into the air.
"Bye, Wakka!" They all yelled through the window that they made.
"Good luck!" Wakka yelled back as he waved his arm.
The journey begins..
