Chapter Ten: The First Reunion

Sora immediately ran to Kairi and held her in his arms. "Kairi, Kairi are you alright?!"

Kairi opened her eyes slowly. "A little bit. Everything just happened so fast…I was there…then they came…then I tried to call for them…and…"

"Kairi, calm down." Sora quieted down to a whisper. "I'm here now. Just slowly explain what happened to you."

Kairi sat up and swallowed hard. "I was at the gummi ship because there was a fire, but a Heartless was hiding in my room and took me in a portal. I tried calling to the others but they didn't hear.."

"Who didn't hear?" Sora asked.

"Yuffie, Goofy, Tidus and King Mickey."

============================================

"Kairi's gone!" Tidus cried, running out of her room.

"What?! How could that be?!" Yuffie exclaimed. "She came in here with us, didn't she?"

"She did. I even saw her go in her room. But nothing's there!" Tidus led everyone to the room that Kairi went to. They searched high and low but found no hole. There was no trace of a struggle, yet there had been one.

"It must have been a portal." King Mickey concluded. "I too saw Kairi in here. The only logical thing is that someone came through a portal and took her." There was a loud thud in the main room and they all turned around to see Leon running towards them, holding Selphie in his arms. Both of them were dripping wet, and Leon was out of breath from running.

"Leon!" Yuffie said, running up to him. "What happened?!"

"She was in the water. I think that's how she killed the firebird-by diving in the water with it following after her." Leon explained.

"Garsh," Goofy said. "But red nocturnes are weak against water."

"Wait, it's just like what happened to me. I became me again after I got hurt. Maybe since Selphie got hurt too, Iqui came and turned her back to her human self." Tidus said.

King Mickey looked upset. "But if your scars showed up, what does that say for Selphie?" Everyone looked around, and finally laid their eyes back to Selphie, still dripping wet in Leon's arms. Leon set the motionless Selphie on the bed in the room as Tidus walked up to her and gave her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

"Say, where's Kairi?" Leon asked, noticing that she was absent from the group.

"We think someone…or something took her through a portal. There's nothing we can do except hope to find her as we travel around looking for the others." Mickey said.

Tidus breathed into Selphie one last time, and his lips parted hers. "S-She's alive!!" he yelled. They all looked to see Selphie's chest moving up and down. Suddenly it seemed as if someone kicked Selphie as she jolted forward and coughed up water.

"Alright!" Yuffie exclaimed. Everyone crowded around the bed, happy to see Selphie still alive, even if she looked a little pruny.

"Are you okay?" Goofy asked.

Selphie looked around a bit confused. "I-I have my body back…"

"Yes you do! You'll no longer have to be a Heartless!" Tidus said, patting her back as she coughed up some more water.

"W-who saved me?" Selphie asked.

Yuffie responded. "Leon found you in the water and brought you here. Then Tidus gave you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation."

"Thank you guys." Selphie said, but only Yuffie seemed to notice her eyeing Tidus.

"Selphie, Kairi's gone somehow. We don't want to stay here any longer than we have to now that we want to find her and the others." Mickey said.

"I guess that means we'll be parting." Leon said. "Thanks for helping us."

"Same here." Tidus said. Yuffie and Leon left and entered their own ship. As both ships took to the sky, Spring was already starting to rebuild the forest.

"Where are we heading to next?" Goofy asked King Mickey, who was steering the ship.

"Hopefully somewhere not as dangerous, but I doubt we'd find a place that was. I'm pretty sure I saw a world off in the distance. Let's hope we'll find someone there!"

=================================================

On the world of Bendugria, a girl named Jahujehu noticed a distant ship in the sky. Strange, she thought. "I wonder what it's doing way out there." What she didn't know was that it was coming to fulfill her purpose, for though she didn't know it at the time, she is able to look into people's hearts and see them for who they really are.

=================================================

"I'm glad we got outta there." Sora said, slumping on a couch.

Riku walked up to Sora. "Yah but now Mesna's gone and we don't know what those freaks are gonna do with him."

"Hey, he chose to do that." Sora said. Kairi entered into the room and sat next to Sora. "Besides, we got Kairi back! How are you doing?"

"I'm doing much better because I'm with you." Kairi said as Sora put his arms around her.

Riku rolled his eyes. "Sooo…Donald…what's new with you?" he said, walking away to where Donald was controlling the ship.

Likewise, Vern appeared from her room, approaching Sora and Kairi. When she saw them she quickly turned around and went back into her room.

"Uh, maybe we should go somewhere else." Sora suggested.

Kairi turned to Sora. "Agreed."

"Will we be landing soon, Donald?" Sora asked.

Donald turned around in his swivel seat. "There's a world up ahead, but it'll probably be another fifteen minutes…why?"

"Oh nothing…" Sora said smiling as he and Kairi walked into another part of the ship. They both looked into each other's eyes intensely as Sora closed (and locked) the door behind him. Sora slowly walked up to Kairi and put his arms around her waist. "I missed you so much, Kairi."

"I did, too." Kairi said. "I thought it would take forever to find you!"

"Well, you don't have to look anymore." Sora held Kairi tighter and kissed her. Kairi then pushed Sora back gently, smiling again.

"Kairi, you know that I love you, right?"

Kairi nodded her head. "Of course I know you do!! And you shouldn't even have to ask me if I love you, because you know the answer."

"I sure do..." Sora smiled.

===============================================

I know everyone wants to know where Wakka is. That'll be explained a little later on. And to help with any confusion, the voice IS Ansem.
