Adventure of Dreams
Chap. 2 Flashback
It had all started a couple of days before…
Kairi stepped outside for a moment and walked toward the dock, seeing Sora there. She sat next to him and asked, "Sora, is something wrong?"
He was silent, staring out into the open blue, his eyes fixed on the horizon.
"Sora?" Kairi was concerned. There was a pause, and she sighed.
"I had a dream…" Sora finally said.
Kairi looked at him, listening intently.
"They're coming," Sora never looked at her, "They're coming back…"
"What are you talking about?"
Sora finally looked at Kairi, "The door, Kairi! The heartless! They're coming here!"
Kairi didn't say a word.
"Any time now they'll come…" Sora looked out into the ocean, "…I can feel it…"
"But, Sora, it was just a dream."
"Just a dream, Kairi? Just a dream?...It was real, I…I felt everything happening, I saw everything happening…" he paused, "…Don't you see, Kairi?...It always comes back to haunt us no matter what we do…"
"But, it's not going to happen."
"How do you know?...Even if we defeat it, it comes back, every single time…"
"Sora, what 'comes back'?"
"…The darkness…the evil in everyone's heart…" his head turned away.
"But…it's not coming back…"
They were both quiet for the longest time.
"Sora, forget about it…you're dream won't come true…" she was about to stand up and leave, but Sora grabbed her arm.
"Kairi…whatever happens to me, remember I'll always be with you."
"Sora, what are you saying?" she thought for a moment, "…What took place in your dream?"
"I…I can't say…"
"Why?"
"You wouldn't understand…" just then, a tear rolled down his cheek.
Kairi turned his head, "Tell me…it must be important…"
"…I heard a voice speaking to me…it said I had to leave…or else….."
"Or else what?"
"I can't tell you…"
"…..You won't leave, though…will you?"
Sora tried to smile, "I don't think so…"

Kairi read Sora's letter with disbelief:
You guys wouldn't understand why I left…I just couldn't tell you…Donald, Goofy, and I are heading to the door…I think the heartless have returned. I just hope they haven't reached the island yet…..Riku, keep Kairi safe…
"No…he couldn't have…" Kairi was distraught.
"What is it?" Riku wondered.
Kairi handed him the note.
After Riku read it, he spoke, "Maybe he's right…The heartless might come…again…"
"Can't we go after him?"
"We can't, Kairi…There's no way."
Author's note: That's the end of my second chappie :) I hope you will stay tuned to the next one called Purple Skies (It will start out in Sora's point of view then skip back to Kairi and Riku).
