Chapter 2 - Just A Dream?

I sat there for at least a hour. I wanted that moment to last, but I knew I had to get going. There was still so much for me to make right. I watched a few lights come on in the other buildings of this small city. I knew it would be another hour before the sun would rise, when suddenly all my energy vanished. Without knowing it, I fell into the world of slumber.

"A sound... it sounds familiar, but where... where have I heard it? It sounds like... like the ocean..." I opened my eyes as the bright sun flashed before me. I blocked the sun with my hand as I sat up. The wood of the pier creaked as I moved. I was dressed in my old outfit of dark blue pants, black gloves, colorful shoes, and yellow shirt. A seagull cried out as it passed over me. I follow it with my eyes as it flew off. It was then I saw her. All I could do was stare in disbelief. The girl stood only a few feet from me looking out at the calm sea. Her deep purplish-red hair flowed, as her skirt rustled in the salty breeze. I knew her from the first glance, though her hair had grown longer, but I still couldn't believe it. Her name raced through my head as I stood there. I caught myself from the daze and tried calling to her, "Kairi... Kairi, it's me! Can't you hear me! Kairi!" but my voice fell on deaf ears.

I decided to walk in front of her, when suddenly her view went from the sea to a rather large meteor falling from the sky. She ran to the shoreline, and folded her hands behind her as she arrived. I was running to her side, when everything began to change. First, it was the sky I took note in. It grew dark as if it was already the middle of the night. As I turned my attention once again to Kairi, I grew worried. The beach around her was vanishing at a fast rate, and just when I was about to grab her shoulder, was it then, that she too, vanished. I stumbled from not having her solid form to hold. "Why? What's going on! What was all that!" I looked up to see I was on a tan path cut through what seemed to be endless fields of healthy green grass. The grass grew almost to my waist as I stood up. I could hear someone shuffling their feet behind me as I turned around.

Shock over took me, as I saw who it was. No more that ten feet from me, was where he stood. His back to me, staring upward at the stars as he swayed from side to side. Ahead of him, the tan path divided into three other pathways. Each looking as if it went on forever. I tried speaking to him, "Sora... Is that really you? Or am I dreaming again... Sora? Answer me! Please... I have to know! Sora..." but again, it seemed to go as it did with Kairi. Sadness began to fill my heart. Maybe the reason they didn't answer, was because they haven't forgiven me. Maybe they never want me with them again, because of all the pain and sorrow I gave them. I fell to my knees; my arms were the only things holding me up from the ground. I closed my eye's wishing to die, to just fade from existence.

"Riku? Is that you!" His voice sounded distant, but it was his. I look up to see him turned around, looking right at me. His light sky blue eye's filled with joy upon seeing me. He started toward me as I got to my feet, his face filled with happiness. He was just inches from reaching me when his face changed into a face I had only seen once before. A strange blue aura surrounded me as Sora passed right through me. A sudden pain swelled inside me as I fell to the ground. "Riku! What's happening to you!" His voice was full of fear, and seemed to grow more distant by the second. I tried to stand, but couldn't move more than a few inches before the pain caused me to collapse again. "Riku! Why! Why are you fading!" It was the last I heard of his voice. "So...ra..." I barley got out before all went dark.

"Sora... Kairi... Why is this happening?" I found myself free of the pain, but in a new world. As I got up, I saw all that surrounded me was darkness. Fear creep into me as I thought I was back at that place where it had all started years ago. It was when I started to move forward that I heard it. "Riku..." A chill, colder than death, fell over me as I heard the footsteps. Calm, but filled with a strong power, they grew closer to me. I was paralyzed with fear, not wanting to turn around to face what I was fearing I would face. I wished it to be someone else, other than what I thought, but when the voice came again... I knew deep down it was Him.
