Chapter 4- A Promise

Point of View: Sora

I have finally returned to my home after such a long time. As a crowd of people surrounded me. I saw all of the friendly faces I have forgotten, but I could not help but think 'Where is Kairi?'

"Sorry but there is someone important i need to see. I will talk to you all later."

As I headed out the door I saw a red haired girl run from the Secret Place to her house. I soon arrived at the house. 'Should I go in or should I knock.' I was about to knock on the door when it went flying open. I was staring face to face with Kairi. Tears began to form in her amythyst eyes. She ran into my arms. I embraced her never wanting to let go. I had waited for this moment for so long. I then lead her inside to the couch, where we could dry off.

"I'm sorry Sora. I heard you were here and I freaked out."

"It's ok Kai?" She looked up at me with her beautiful eyes. "I did not mean to make you cry." I said as I wiped the tears away from her face. "I do need to ask you something. Has Riku been here at all in the past four days or so?"

"Ya he has. He was here last night until he left. He did leave me this not and this strange thing."

She held out a broken piece of a gold crown that resembled mine except it was only half of it.

"Cool, I guess."

Kairi began to cry again. "Sora I thought you would never come back to me. I have missed you so much."

"I'm here now and I will never leave you again. I love you Kairi. I always have and I always will." I said as I embraced her tighter. "Plus I told you I would return to you remember."

"I know but it's just that...."

Then I leaned in and kissed her. It was long and passionate. I wish I could never leave her soft lips, but I had to. She then blushed and kissed me again.

"I love you too Sora."

She then fell asleep in my arms. That night was the first night I was able to sleep peacefully for I was back home and knew Kairi was safe.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile....

"The keybearer has returned Master. I don't know what to do."

"Matt you must get rid of him and get me the piece of that crown, no matter what it takes." Said a deep, mysterious voice.

"But Ansem I do not know where the piece is?"

*~*

Point of View: Kairi

Last night was the night I finally slept the whole night without waking up sweating and having Selphie come running in to see if I was ok.

Sora was so peaceful when he slept. He looked so much older now and his body was built up more when I last saw him. I leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hi." I said as he awoke up.

"Hi back." He siad yawning and then giving me one of his famous smiles--the cheesy one.

"Do you want breakfast?" I said trying to get up.

"No I just want to play."

Sora then grabbed my wrist and pulled me on to the bed. He then started to tickle me.

"I give up *hiccup*." I said laughing so hard tears were coming from my eyes and I had the hiccups.

"Ok, ok."

He then got off me and said,"I think it's a little late for breakfast Kairi. It is 1:55pm."

"Ok let's make lunch."

****

We had finished eating and we decided to take a walk. As we were walking me and Sora spotted what looked like a big animal lying on the beach. We soon grew closer to realize it was not an animal, but a human.

"Sora look it's a human."

We both ran over hoping to find out who this person was. Sora tapped it's shoulder. It soon awoke to find a girl about our age.

"What.....Where am I?" The girl said.

"You are on Destiny Islands. This is Kairi and I am Sora." Said Sora putting his hand out to help her up.

"Oh, hi my name is...., wait I can't remember my name." She siad looking very confused.

"You might have anmnesia." Said Sora.

"Uhh.....?"

The girl had amber brown hair that was layered. It was shoulder lenght. She had honey colored eyes and stood about 5"6. She wore a pair of jeans that were torn up with a black short sleeve shirt.

"Are you alright?" I said because of the large bruises on her arms.

"I am a bit sore but most of all I am exhausted as hell." She said looking sleepy.

****

We headed back to my house where Selphie was no where to be fourn again. Sora headed home to change into differenet cloths. Unforunatly Sora's mother died a year ago a few months after he left for Kingdom Hearts.

"Do you want something to eat?" I said.

"No thank you. I'm just really tired so I think I will jsut take a shower and hit the hay."

I lead her to the spare bedroom we had. She then took a shower and was out like a light bulb.

Sora came back around 6:00pm because he said he was scared of being all alone, but I knew he just wanted to stay with me.

"So what do you want to eat?" I said.

"How about pizza?" He said with a smile.

"Fine."

We ordered the pizza and it came in thirty minutes. As we were about to open the pizza box the girl came into the kitchen looking not quite rested.

"I smelt something." She explained.

"Do you want some pizza?" I said.

"Sure I would love some."

"So did you remember anyting since this afternoon?" Said Sora.

"Not one thing. I thought I would remember something by now, but I guess not." She siad putting her hand over her mouth as she yawned.

I then noticed a bracelet that I had not seen before. "Where did you get that bracelet? It's beautiful."

"I have no idea. I guess I was just wearing it when i arrived here." She siad.

The bracelet was silver with a charm of a key or half of one. She then began looking at it and noticed on the back something was written.

"There is something written on the back of the half of the charm. It reads:

To: Al

From: Ri

Then that's it."

"It must be your name written on the back I wonder if....never mind." Sora said with his mouthful of pizza.

We then finished up our meal. She had eaten eight slices of pizza.

"I feel like I am going to throw up." She said.

"After all that I would not be surprised. You sure have a big appetite." Said Sora laughing.

"Would you excuse me." She said as she ran for the bathroom and then headed to her room.

Then me and Sora cleaned up the plates and cups.

"Kairi, do you think Riku could have given you know that bracelet to her."

"I don't know and why do you ask."

"No reason, just a feeling."

I had a feeling Sora was hiding something from me, but I didn't think I should ask. Me and Sora then headed to the couch to watch a movie. As we cuddled next to one another I could not help but think about the girl. I had fallen asleep once again in Sora's arms. In them I felt so protected and did not want to leave them, but still what was Sora hiding from me. I soon would find out what it was about.
