Chapter 2

Rakai sat on her bed looking at the paopu fruit Riku gave her. Wow, this is awesome! Me and Riku together forever. Sounds existing but what if the legend isn't true? What if it's just a big lie? Oh well there only one way to find out, Thought Rakai. She attempt to take a bite but SanoMae barges through the door. Rakai quickly but the paopu under her pillow. SanoMae seemed to be upset about something.

" Don't worry I won't tell anyone." Said SanoMae.

"Tell what?" Asked rakai.

"About you and Riku."

"How did you know?"

" I say you and Riku today..."

"Oh"

" and you weren't very quick to put it away."

"Promise you won't tell?" begged Rakai

"Promise, on one condition."

"What?"

The next day, Sora and Kairi where sitting on the pier staring at the sunrise as they did everyday since they when children. Some days they would sit there and talk about nothing but today they sat there talking about the raft trip to other worlds.

"You know, Riku has changed" said Kairi

"What do you mean?" asked Sora

"Well.."

"You okay?"

"Sora, let's take the raft and go-just the two of us!"

"Huh?"

"Just kidding."

"What gotten into you? You're the one that's changed, Kairi"

"Maybe... you know, I was a little afraid at first , but now I'm ready. No matter where I go or what I see. I know I can always come back here, right?"

"Yeah, of course!"

"That's good. Sora, don't ever change."

"Huh?" asked sora Kairi stood up and looked at the sun.

"I just can't wait. Once we set sail, It'll be great." The sun rose above them.

"Lets go see Riku." said Sora. They two walked over to Riku who was sitting thinking about Rakai. "Hey Riku wanna race?"

"What's the catch?" Riku said turning around to look at Sora and Kairi.

"If I win, I'm captain! And if you win..." asked Sora. Kairi walked over to the staring line.

"I get to share the paopu with Kairi." Riku got into his racing position.

" Huh?" Sora stood next to him.

"Deal? The winner gets to share the paopu fruit with Kairi." Riku planned on losing so know one would suspect him an Rakai.

"Wha...what a minute..." stumbled Sora.

"Okay. On my count: Ready...Set..Go !" yelled Kairi. The race started and ended quickly."Now the score is 5 to 2! I'm just 3 points behind you Riku!" Sora did a little victory dance.

"Three more points and we're tied"

"You've been counting" Riku flipped hi hair back "That's sad."

"So what if I'm counting ..." Sora stuck his tongue out. "At least I'm not the one who stands in front of mirror all night thinking of a new way to style there hair."

"Sora, you sound more immature each time I talk to you, plus I always have my hair down you always have gravity defying spikes. How many bottles of gel do you use? 50 or 60 bottles right?" Riku teased. Sora stood there finding away to change the subject because he obviously couldn't think of anything better. Luckily Kairi came to the rescue.

"That wasn't very nice. If you don't have any..." Kairi was interrupted by Riku.

"Who said I was nice, anyways I heard it all before." Riku turned around in a snotish way.

"Whatever, Just go find the rest of the stuff I told you to get." Kairi also turned a round snotish way.

"Who made you the boss, Kairi?" asked Sora.

" 'Cause no one else is being serious about it."

"Well I'll leave you love birds alone."Riku said sarcasticly. It took Sora and Kairi a moment to realize what Riku said.

"WE'RE NOT LOVE BIRDS!" Both Kairi and Sora yelled

"Forget him, what was I suppose to get?" Sora asked Kairi.

"For the 5th time a Seagull egg." Kairi said annoyed.

"Oh thanks Kairi." Sora walked off. Sometimes that boy really confuses me. Kairi thought to herself.

"Stupid mushroom, come out of the ground." SanoMae cursed a couple times trying to pull a mushroom out of the sand.

"SanoMae stop talking to that veggie" Rakai said with rope, a cloth, and a few logs in her hands.

"Well then you get it out of the sand." Rakai walked up to SanoMae a dropped all the stuff she gathered in her hands. Rakai bent down and pulled the mushroom out of the ground with no effort. "What!... I mean... I was holding back on it." Rakai grabbed the stuff from SanoMae and said, "Whatever raises your self-esteem."

"Well, If you're so awesome where is the last one?"asked SanoMae.

"Umm..." Rakai pondered for a moment. "Oh yeah, I saw one in the secret place. I'll go get it for you."

"Nah, I got it." SanoMae walked to the secret place. Ever sents SanoMae, Rakai, Sora, Riku, and Kairi where little they would play in the secret place. Kids had made drawings on the walls using a rock, but one picture struck SanoMae's eyes. It was picture of Sora and Kairi, SanoMae had never seen that picture before. Then again, SanoMae hasn't been in there for a few years. She always thought it was babyish, so never goes in there.

"I've come to see the door to this world." a hooded man appeared from the shadows.

"Oookay..." SanoMae searched around for the others to see if it was a practical joke. " you guys got me. You can come out now."

"This world has been connected." continued the hooded man.

"Who are you? What do you want?" SanoMae became frightened.

"Tied to the darkness... soon to be completely eclipsed." The hooded man stated to step forward.

"Stay back!" SanoMae stood with her hand about to reach for her sword.

"You do not yet no what lies beyond the door." The hooded man chuckled. Sora and Riku were right there are other worlds. SanoMae thought to her-self. "There is so very much to learn . You understand so little."

"Yeah well me and the other are going to see and learn what's out there. So, I wouldn't be talking." SanoMae said confidently.

"A meaningless effort, one who knows nothing can understand nothing." The hooded man shook his head. SanoMae stared at he door then looked back, but the man was gone.

"Wired." SanoMae walked out of the secret place and was greeted by Tidus.
