Chapter 3

Sora and Kairi closed their eyes for a minute and opened them to fine thin black fingers wrapped around their hands. The dark hands wrapped around Sora's hands retreated back to the wooden box. But the black substance around Kairi's hands tightened its grip around her pale, delicate hands. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she started to speak in voices that clearly weren't her own.
"This world in it's true form…"
"A world without you…"
"This is none of your concern…"
"Why?"
"Are these the answers you were looking for?"
"You are the source of all Heartless…"
All that tumbled out in the span of two seconds.
"K-Kairi!?"
Sora reached out, his hands giving off a soft glow. The black hands, once again, retreated into the box. Kairi fainted, softly falling on the sandy ground.
Sora looked up as he heard footfalls to see a red haired teenager. His black overcoat fluttered in the wind, his eyebrows were furrowed for hate of the salty ocean air, and his lips were twisted in a small grin. He let out a soft chuckle,
"So…You've found it?"
"Who are you?"
The red haired Nobody stroked his face where the markings where under his eyes.
"Axel. Why? Anyways, you've found it. Congrats."
"What do you mean?" Sora stood up.
"You've found it. The box." Axel stepped forward and a blond kid, around Sora and Kairi's age, jumped in front of Sora and Kairi, shielding them from Axel's view. Sora soon noticed the blond was wielding two Keyblades and his hair was almost a light brown.
Axel bowed his head, wondering if he should attack. Then his head shot back up with his lips in a small smirk and red, circular weapons with spikes emerging in four different areas in his hands. A circle of fire appeared around the two fighters leaving Sora, Kairi, and the box out of the fight.
"I won't let you get to Sora!" the Duel Wielder yelled as he launched an attack at Axel. When the Duel Wielder was just inches from Axel's face, the red hair teenager disappeared, along with the wooden box. The Blond growled as the ring of fire turned into smoke. He put his weapons by his sides and, like the other one, disappeared.
Kairi woke up with a start, coughing. As soon she cleared her mind, she felt her wrist and when she found nothing there she let out a sob.
"My charm! It's gone! And he gave it to me!" Kairi wailed.
Kairi paused. "I think it was… Riku.
