Chapter 9:

"So you've been in Traverse

Town all this time?", Kairi asked

Sora. "Yeah," Sora responded.

"But you never came to see me."

Kairi's face fell. "I…didn't want

anything to happen to you." Sora

avoided her eyes. "Like what

Sora?", Kairi asked. Sora opened

his mouth to answer but before he

got the chance, big black clouds

filled up the starry sky and a

forked flash of lightning lit up the

sky. Kairi grabbed Sora's arm just

as Riku descended from the sky.

"Stay behind me Kairi!", Sora

yelled as he pulled out the

keyblade. "I don't want to leave

you Sora!", Kairi cried just as Riku

yelled, "Not so easy, is it Sora,

protecting someone you love?"

Before Sora could react he heard

a scream, coming from where

Kairi was standing just moments

before. "Let her go Riku!", Sora

cried as he ran toward them. But

just as he reached out his hand to

catch Kairi, both Kairi and Riku

dissolved into the clouds. "Kairi!",

Sora cried, but it was no use, she

was gone. He fell to his knees just

as the black clouds retreated.


Cliffy! LOL
