Summary:
Three years after Sora and Kairi have been apart. But when Kairi has a dream one night, is it her turn to do the fighting for her loved one? (SxK) R&R
.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x:.
Author's Note:
Hmm...okay. Technically, the doors Kairi went through went to the Lift Shop. But I mean really, who in their right mind would want to go through all those lift things, and do the same thing that was in the game? I know I don't. Besides that's like no creativity...in my eyes anyway. So yeah. If you don't like what happens, to bad xD because it's MYYYYYY story!
Oh! And I had the original of this chapter, which I hated a lot, and I got inspiration for it a few days after I posted it. And since no one reviewed I decided to delete it off and edit it...a lot.

Chapter Six
Falling In A Childhood Warning
.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x:.
Those doors, those wood doors. The ones that haunted her very thoughts when she was just a child, always wondering what was behind them, what led from there, and why she wasn't able to go past them.
"Your too young Kairi."
"You just wouldn't understand."
"Wait until your older..."
"It's nothing to be concerned about."
Oh, but it was something to be concerned about. What kid wouldn't like to know what was hidden behind doors they weren't allowed to go past? And now it was her chance, to finally see what was there, and she was surprised to see something that she would have never imagined.
It was a balcony brightly lit from a skylight above, she noticed that this particular one was caged, and all around her were other balconies, some high and some low. It was almost like navigation through the castle, she walked over and placed her hand onto the cool silver metal bar, and looked around. It was a very large place, she turned to see that this particular one kept going for a bit, and turned her gaze back to the skylight at the top of the room.
She kept looking when she heard a strange sound behind her, and the bars underneath her hands started to turn warm from the fear of turning around. But she knew whatever was behind her needed to be dealt with, and she slowly turned her head, then the rest of her body around.
'How could Sora do it?' She thought, looking at the creature, it was another heartless; she stared at it, the cold-eyed gaze started to make her mind go blank. Staring into the eyes of one with no heart could easily consume you, she shut her eyes and took out her sword, the creature didn't wait for the first attack, and shot a blue stream of light that felt cold as it was coming, but then burned as it hit her.
She tried to stay standing as the heartless came towards her, but the pain was just too much to take, she slowly fell to the floor, but keeping her sword in defense as high as her remaining strength would allow her. The creature came closer to her, but all she could do was block the upcoming attacks, which didn't even seem to work against its large shield. After a few other hits, she finally began to find its weakness. Kairi was still in a rush of pain, but it didn't stop her from using what she had to crawl behind the creature as it paused.
She aimed her sword at an angle right into it's back, a shriek came from the heartless as Kairi slowly took her sword out of it's back, blood tipped the first few inches of the blade, and the rest dripped away as the heartless started to fade away. She waited until it was completely gone before dropping her blood-covered weapon. She sat there to catch her breath and looked around where she was sitting, her clothes were some what ripped, and cuts went down her arm looking like she'd been cutting with her own blade.
'What did Sora do to heal himself?' She thought, knowing there was no possible way for him to be gone for so long and not get hurt. 'Maybe it was the keyblade? No. It must have been magic...' Kairi thought on it for a few moments, before extending her arm and dragging her weapon towards her, listening to the clanking of the three key chains on the end.
Kairi continued to hold the weapon in her hands, then she pointed it towards the cut on her opposite arm, thinking of something that she could possibly do. "Be gone!" Nothing happened, "No, that couldn't be it..." She paused, "Heal!" She shouted that one word, and a golden stream of light swirled around the blade, and then made all of her cuts disappear, not even a scar was left behind. She was astonished that something like that could come from such a small word.
She stood up with ease, there wasn't any more pain to keep her down onto the floor, and she backed up a few steps onto the opposite part of the balcony where there was another lift. She looked over and saw a golden crystal to her left; she studied it for a few moments, and lifted her arm slowly towards the object, and barely touched it with the tips of her fingers. But even that small touch could transport her into the lift next to her.
She appeared in the middle of the small lift, and descended, farther, and farther down. After a few moments it started to go faster than her heart was beating, her hair swept around her and soon all became black, and she hung onto the sides of the bars trying to stay standing against the laws of gravity.
Yet as hard as she tried, nothing would make it stop, she tried to scream but she was too scared to let out a single sound. It was as if she was going to hell, because it just kept falling, and nothing was making the lift stop. She held onto her necklace, the one she never took off, her hair getting caught in her eyes, but it was no use to wipe them away because they would just get fly right back towards her again.
"Sora, save me..." She was finally able to whisper, and it was as if her wishes were granted, because the lift stopped. And her heart felt like it fell into her stomach from the sudden halt. She hung onto the bars, trying to get up with the last bit of strength she still had.
But instead of standing up inside the lift, she stood in the middle of four paths.
Four paths that lead to four different fates.
.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x:.
He still sat there, still drowning in thoughts, still remembering what it was like to feel emotion, and have fun. Then he wondered why he was in this alone, Donald and Goofy were taken away somehow. But why did he still remain?
Sometimes he wondered why there was even a point to him being the 'Key Blade Master.'
'Why was I chosen?'
'What makes me so special?'
'When will everything go back to normal?'
Things he had imagined to be answered since the beginning of this destiny. Or maybe it was fate. Something led him to this.
And he wanted to find out who or what it was.
Still, he was getting tired of staying there, his key blade still lingered in the corner of the room. And there was nobody else but him. His sapphire blue eyes darted around the room, as he shifted the position he was sitting in. It's been a while since he last moved, and his open cuts brushed against the fabric of his shorts, making them sting with pain.
Sora continued to stare at the keyblade, then he closed his eyes for a few moments, then opened them back up. He took all his strength to stretch out his left arm, which was still chained to the ground; he extended it as far as he was able, then motioned his gloved fingers into a position as he was carrying the keyblade.
Concentrate.
He closed his eyes.
You can do it.
He was straining.
'C'mon Sora I thought you were stronger than that...'
Those words, he remembered them, the same words that pushed him as far as he was right now. The keyblade started to vibrate against the walls.
He kept his eyes shut, still concentrating, but he was stronger this time.
The cool handle of the key blade appeared in his hand, he was surprised that it even worked. He tried to swing it, but remembered the chains on his wrists, and he slashed the keyblade at them, breaking the black metal into pieces. Once he was free he took all his energy to get back up, using the wall as a guide to help him stand.
Then a part of the wall opened, which was actually a door way painted black so nobody could see it, let alone escape. And once again the same hooded figure emerged, this time Sora was ready, and they both walked toward each other.
Face to face they stood, Sora glared at the figure in front of him gripping his key blade, while the other didn't move a single inch, but he did speak words in a voice that was so familiar to him.
"It's about time you did something..."
