A Book Without A Name......
Chapter 4: Where Am I?
I don't know why, but I felt like I didn't really like this chapter as much as the others. I hope you do. I'm sorry I didn't update yesterday, but I have to write a 20 page story for english. I've been working on it all week, and I'm still not finished.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters Square Enix and Disney do, okay so no one come after me with fire and pitch forks pretty please.

Dreams or Memories

A cave, it was a cave of old memories some lost and forgotten others were remembered so vividly as if they had taken place this very day. Story's were drawn all over the ancient gray rocky walls. They were story's that came from the minds of the innocent the minds of dreaming children. Kairi remembered the day Sora and Riku had shown her this cave of wonder. It had happened the day she had arrived here on this very island. Little Sora had taken her hand pulling her toward the hidden passage while Riku had lead the way. From that day on they had become her best friends always together never apart until now. The three of them had spent most that summer redecorating with their hopes and dreams. 'What had happened to all we had dreamed? What had happened?'
Kairi ran her hand over the rough gritty surface. She stopped when she found what she was looking for. She pulled out the paper in her pocket, and held it up next to one special drawing. The paper happened to be a picture of a sleeping Sora with a yellow fruit in his hand while laying on a paopu tree. It was certainly not a picture she had taken, maybe Riku had taken her camera when she wasn't looking snapping the picture for a joke. Of course Riku was known to do things like that. He probably put the star shaped fruit in Sora's hand too. He had always liked to play jokes on Sora.
If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what.
-The Legend Of The Paopu Fruit (according to Riku.)
Her hand was placed on a old drawing of Sora and her giving each other a paopu fruit. They had drawn it when they were small. Except the paopu fruit that had been drawn four years ago well at least part of it. Kairi was unsure of how long ago Sora had drawn his addition. Part of her wished she had noticed it sooner before well everything, but then what would have happened most likely nothing. 'I wish I knew how I was supposed to help you Sor, maybe this place will help.' Why had she come to this cave just because she found a picture? Well because for Kairi this is where everything had always ended and everything always had begun. She felt some sort of energy radiating from this place. It was something special something extraordinary. Kairi knew if there were one place she would find some answers to questions she didn't even really have it would be this place.
Her eyes explored, and settled on the door that had always been there. The door would never open though. Riku and Sora used to make bets on who could get the door to open first. Some of the bets had included her, but Kairi had never really cared. She slowly edged closer and closer to the door. This was the source of all the energy she had been feeling. Kairi could tell that now. This brown and gold door must lead to the core of the Destiny Islands. The keyhole on this door was most defiantly 'the keyhole' to her world. The very thing that Sora had been on a mission to seal.
She placed her hand on top of the door. Kairi felt warmth as soon as she touched. It felt like the same heat that came from living human flesh. Then it pulsed like a beating heart. The door felt well alive. Kairi quickly jerked her hand away. She was afraid that there was something wrong. It had never felt like that before. As soon as her hand fell from the door a blinding light filled the room. It caused Kairi temporary blindness. She tried to shield her face from the immense brightness, but it was no use attempting it.
Her head started to throb. 'No not again." She stepped backwards, and held her head in discomfort. The light was still there, still causing her to lose her sight. Kairi stumbled and tripped on a thick tree branch that must have been carried in by the last flood. She was unable to see unable to think. Her eyes shut. The last thing she remembered was the sound of someone calling her name.

Though Kairi had lost her heart she could see it all, but do nothing. She had never felt so helpless as she watched it happen through Sora's eyes.
"A keyblade that unlock people's hearts..." Sora stared wide eyed at the black evil key shaped sword that rested in the middle of the floor. "I wonder." He began to walk forward.
"Sora?" Goofy watched him sensing something wrong with Sora's intentions. Sora walked closer grasping the dark keyblade in his hand.
"Sora hold on!" Goofy yelled to his friend realizing what he was about to do.
Donald caught on. "No wait!"
Sora looked at both of his companions. He gave them one of his famous award winning grins. Then tuned back to his task. He knew it was the only way. Sora plunged the keyblade deep into his chest. Light surrounded him. The princesses' hearts were free. They floated returning to each ones unconscious body. Then Kairi's heart the last of the princesses' hearts emerged and drifted back into her almost lifeless body that lay on the floor in front of Sora. Her eyes slowly opened. Her mind clicked. Kairi realized where she was. She hurriedly stood up to get to her best friend.
Donald called to him. "Sora,.. Sora!"
But it was too late. His body disappeared as she reached out to catch him. "Sora!" Kairi yelled. The best friend she had ever had was gone. She was so afraid then, so afraid she would never see his face again.
"Sora! Comeback, Sora!' The duck shouted though it did no good.
"Sora, are you really--" He was gone it was all her fault. She just knew it. "No. He can't be! I won't let him go!"
--
'Where am I?' She was awake now eyes wide opened. White sheets were pulled over her body. She was in someone's house, but where? 'I must have hit my head when I fell.' Kairi could hear voices talking in quite whispers in another room. She attempted to modify her hearing to be able to make out what they were saying.
"Do you think she'll wake up soon?" A perky female voice inquired.
"Of course she will. She's one of the princesses." A definite male voice said to the female.
"Are you even sure it's her? I mean she just looks so different. Her hair is long, and she looks so grown up. Can it really be her? Can it really be little fourteen year old Kairi. "
"Yeah, it's her, Yuf." The guy insisted. "You haven't seen her in four years. You can't expect her to look the same."
The girl made a groaning sound. "I don't think that. I'm not completely stupid, Squall."
"How many times do I have to tell you call me Leon." There was a moment of Silence. A loud bang was heard in the distance, and then the sound of something hitting hard firm concrete. Then the guy spoke again. "Damn Cid, he's going to break that ship instead of fix it."
"He's not stupid. Cid knows what he's doing. You know he fixed up Sora's old ship hundreds of times, Squally wally."
There was a loud smack. Kairi was sure the man had smacked his own forehead in frustration. "I'm sick of you. I'm going to go see if I can give Cid a hand." The door slammed. When it did Kairi felt the whole place shake like a giant earthquake had just happened. Then it clicked open again. "And watch the girl." The guy roared. Then he replicated the door-slamming act. A cherry wood framed mirror that hung on the wall in the room Kairi had been placed in fell off the brightly painted blue wall. It shattered into a thousand pieces.
"Damn it," The girl muttered under her breath. The front door opened once again. "Now look what you've done. You broke something, Squall." The girl yelled out the door. It closed gently this time. Kairi heard the girl stomp her feet as she walked. The girl was walking closer to Kairi's room. The brass doorknob started to turn slowly. Kairi's hearts started to beat rapidly. She felt like it would burst. Was this girl the person Kairi thought she was? Was this girl really Yuffie? She was about to get her answer.
