Awesome! I get to update! Sadly, I might not be able to update so often due to the fact that I type my chapters in school because I can't at home and I'm going to be actually doing something in class, so here goes!

Several days had gone by since Sora had left. Sora had managed to go to other worlds with Squall (not Leon! I like Squall better!). They went to Wonderland, Deep Jungle, Agrabah, Monstro, and Neverland. In Neverland, Sora was actually able to get out of his wheelchair to fly but he still couldn't walk. He and Squall tried to go to Atlantica, but Sora had breathing problems (I know that he could breathe under water there, but I still think his lungs can't take the water) and since he couldn't walk, he couldn't swim with his merman's tail.

Back on Destiny Islands, Kairi was worried about Sora. She hasn't seen him for a week. He now had two weeks. Riku was worrying, too.

Kairi was sitting at the pier, looking at the clear blue water. Riku came along and sat down with her.

"Riku, have you seen Sora recently?" she asked.

"Uh, Sora?" asked Riku.

"Yeah, silly, you know Sora." said Kairi as she giggled.

"Sora……uh, he….he is…" said Riku.

Kairi frowned. "Sora's gone, isn't he?" she asked. "Don't lie to me, Riku, I know Sora left."

"Yeah, he left to go to get some treatment for that Hercules Cricket sickness…." lied Riku.

"Riku, Sora left Destiny Islands…to go search for a cure….better treatment…." said Kairi. Selphie told me."

Damn Selphie, thought Riku. "Well, how did she know?" he asked.

"She overheard you and Sora a week ago." said Kairi.

"OK, he did leave." said Riku.

"Riku, why did you lie to me?" asked Kairi.

"Because Sora didn't want to upset you, so he asked me to lie to you." replied Riku.

"Sora asked you to lie?" asked Kairi.

"Look, Sora said he was sorry." said Riku.

Kairi was silent. "He's going to die…..and I won't even get to say goodbye to him…" she began to cry. Riku put a hand on her back.

"Look, Kairi, Sora will come back." he said. "I just know it."

Kairi just sobbed in silence. Finally, she looked up. "Riku, let's go find Sora and bring him home. It's already bad enough that he left to seal Kingdom Hearts the first time. I just don't want to lose him."

Riku took his hand off Kairi's back. "Well, if that's what you want, go for it." he said.

"Well, come on, let's get on a gummi ship!" said Kairi. "We'll call Donald and Goofy to come with us!"

Riku just sat there. "Sure. Whatever you want to do." he said….

Sorry guys, but I must end this chapter now!
