Kingdom Hearts x Deep Blue

.D r e a M i n g W i s t F u l l y.

A/N: Finally! An internet service fast enough to be able to update my fics on. -- Sorry for the long no-update thing. We moved to our new townhouse where we had to wait 2 weeks to get DSL, then we were told that the place we live in doesn't have DSL availability. So we waited a few days for another internet company to give us broadband. Not to advertise, but YAY COMCAST for being bettar than our old ISP!

By the way, this is the second to the last chapter of Deep Blue. Yeah I know, this fic was rather short. Heh. This chapter may also be very short, but I promise you that the final chapter will be long! If there are a couple of plot holes (which I hope there aren't), I'll gladly make an epilogue chapter. But that's an "if".

I was still confused about everything that just happened. But as dominant genes hide recessive genes, hope overpowered the confusion and sadness within me. Needless to say, I started getting a bit giddy, having a big smile on my face and giggling at the thought of our reunion.

I hope it's soon.

Because I don't think I can hold out for much longer. The loneliness is overpowering too, you know?

I decided I would stay at the shore until the sun came up, since I never really saw the sun rise from the sea's horizon. I smiled and waited. Not being able to talk to anyone, I easily got bored with watching the waves. I started drawing things on the sand. Who would've thought I happened to draw a paopu fruit in there? Heh. I lay down on the sand, not minding if I get sand on my hair--I'll wash it off later anyways.

I was just thinking to myself, convincing myself maybe that the sun doesn't come out on this side of the island. That's when I saw it.

Stars shooting across the sky, just like that time when he tried so hard to not let go... But forces of nature--no, destiny--made us lose our hold of each other's hands. Maybe it was a lesson made to teach us...

...just how much we love each other...

It made me wonder again, why?

Does this mean Sora finally gets to come back? I felt my heart pounding, as if it would jump out of me any second (God forbid that), knowing maybe soon is the time we will finally see each other again.

I continued watching as the stars returned to their rightful place in the night sky. I could actually name a few constellations again--the big and little dipper, and the other easy ones. I watched out for something special to happen. Maybe Sora would fall from the sky? I had no idea how he would return.

Suddenly, the shower of stars stopped. They were all peacefully returned to full order. Destiny Islands was not affected by the Heartless, but maybe we would have been, if the Heartless had gotten here fast enough.

I sighed, sad nothing much happened after the shower of stars. Maybe I was hallucinating. I sat up, put my shoes on and started walking back home. On my way, I kept thinking about it. I knew that, very soon, I'd be reunited with my hero...

...my oathkeeper...

I plopped onto my bed again, looking out the window. Now the sun decides to come out, for Chrissakes. I found myself feeling drowsier and drowsier, and soon enough I fell back into slumber.

Next I reopen my eyes, the sun was out and shining brightly as ever. I rolled to my side, grabbing my alarm clock and put it right in front of my face so I could at least try to read the time with my still sleepy eyes.

"It's.. 10:00 AM... Ugh." I said to myself, moaning as I sat up and stretched. A nice stretch after a nice rest always felt good. I forced my feet to the side of my bed, stood up and like before, swaggered to the bathroom. I need a cold shower. I felt like the sand was still in my hair.

After at least 45 minutes in the shower, I got out of the bathroom, into my room and changed into a different outfit.

"Kairi," my mom called out while knocking on my bedroom door, "can you run a teeny errand for me, please?" she was of course, not my real mom. I don't remember my real parents, but as far as I know, Mr. and Mrs. Tai are my parents. Blood-related or not. They've been the ones taking care of me for as long as I remember.

"Sure, ma." I called out. I straightened myself out before opening the door.

"Just get these couple of things in the supermarket, please, Kairi." mom said, handing me a list. I took it and quickly scanned over it. The usual. Milk and eggs. I said goodbye to her, going out the front door and walking along the sidewalks again.

I looked up at the crystal clear sky, feeling somehow content. Maybe it was because of that morning, or maybe because I got enough sleep. But anyhow, it doesn't change the fact that at that moment I looked up, I saw what looked like a meteorite sailing across the sky. The thought of my mom's errand suddenly flew out of my mind as I began running to where the meteorite seemed to head to.

This was it.
