Ch. 3- Waking Up
It was morning in the city of Lumaria, and Kairi was already awake. Sora got up from his bed and noticed Kairi standing on the balcony.
"Good morning, Kairi!"
"Good morning. I hope I didn't wake you."
"Oh, no. Of course not."
"Good. So, how are you?"
"Ok, I guess. But I've missed you a lot."
"Well, now we're together again."
Kairi moved towards Sora, and they embraced. They were together for what seemed like an eternity, until a voice broke the silence.
"Well, I can see you two haven't wasted any time."
Kairi and Sora turned and saw Riku staring at them with a saddened and hurt expression.
"Riku! You shouldn't spy on us like that!"
"Well, do what you like, and hopefully you'll come to your senses."
"I love Sora! Why must you be so cold?"
"I…I never wanted to tell you this, but…I love you, Kairi!"
"I know that, but I love Sora. That's just the way it is."
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything."
Riku started to run away.
"Riku, wait!"
"Let him go, Kairi. Let him go."
Riku ran off, leaving Sora and Kairi to think. His escape soon led him to a dark alley. He walked into it, but upon doing so he heard an odd noise. He turned around to see Ansem walking towards him.
"Ansem! No…Get away!"
"Oh, I don't think so, Riku. We're going to be enjoying each other's company for quite some time!"
"NNNOOOOOO!"
His useless screams echoed throughout the dead city.
Meanwhile, at Traverse Town, Mickey, Rexus, Donald and Goofy found the old Gummi Ship that had taken them to so many places.
"Can you get it to work, Cid?"
"I think so, your Highness but I'll need some time to install this Navi-G for Lumaria you gave me."
"Ok. Thank you for your assistance, Cid."
"Don't mention it! There we go! It's all set!"
"Thank you again! Let's go!"
They all entered the ship and flew off, to warn Sora of the ever-increasing danger.
