Chapter 9 - Fading
Kairi had gone back to watching Naminé and Roxas on the beach when the phone rang again.
"Sora's probably calling me back," giggled Kairi, as she picked up the phone, "Hey, this is Kairi!"
"Hello Kairi," Sora's mom said through the telephone.
"Oh!" Kairi said surprised, "Is there anyway I can help you?"
"Yes, I need you to come over right away!" Sora's mom said, sounding panicked.
"Of course!" Kairi said, hanging up the phone.
She then ran out of the house and onto the beach.
"Naminé, Roxas!" Kairi yelled, running towards them, "Something has happened at Sora's place, we gotta go!"
"KAIRI!" Naminé and Roxas shouted at the same time, as they ran towards her.
Their faces looked panicked at the sight of her.
"C'mon guys let's get moving!" Kairi yelled pointed towards the two boats at the dock.
Naminé and Roxas just stood there staring at her.
"What's wrong guys?" Kairi said, slowly walking towards them.
Roxas turned to Naminé and nodded. He suddenly ran towards Kairi.
"AH!" Kairi screamed bracing herself for the impact.
But nothing even hit her.
"Kairi!" Naminé screamed, "What's happening to you!"
"What!" Kairi said, unbracing herself.
"You're almost transparent," Roxas said, while cupping his chin with his fingers, "I just ran right through you!"
"WHAT!" Kairi yelled looking at her hands and legs.
They were right. She could see the sandy shore right through her hands.
"OH MY GOSH!" Kairi said jumping around in a frenzy, "WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME!"
"I hope it doesn't have anything to do with me splitting with you..." Naminé said quietly.
Suddenly something snapped into her head.
"SORA!" Naminé yelled, rushing off towards the boats.
"Oh no!" Kairi cried, following in pursuit, "We have to see if he's okay!"
"Ughh..." Roxas grumbled running after the two girls, "Sora..."
When the threesome arrived at Sora's house they ran up to his room, but his mom blocked the door.
"I covered him with a blanket already," she said before stepping aside, "Due to the fact that his clothes strangely disappeared from the clothesline last night."
"SORA!" Kairi screamed, running into the room to make sure that he was okay.
"He is almost transparent too," Roxas said, examining him.
"This didn't happen until we split from them Roxas," Naminé said to him, "We should find a way to become one with them again."
"Somehow I don't think it will be that easy Naminé," Roxas said, pacing back and forth, "It's not like there's a big door ontop of Kairi and Sora!"
"C'mon Roxas!" Naminé said, "There must be a way! We merged with them in the first place, afterall!"
"If you remember Naminé, we were somewhat in their situation," Roxas said, while still pacing, "We were going to disappear if we didn't merge with them! Afterall, we were barely even nobodies at that point."
"Wait a minute!" Kairi said, looking at Roxas, "We aren't exactly 'normal' human beings right now. Does that mean if we don't find a way to merge together we could..."
"I think so," Naminé said sadly, "I think that it's quite possible that you and Sora could disappear if we don't become one again in the next day or so."
"WHAT!" Kairi yelled, "WE COULD JUST DISAPPEAR! POOF! GO AWAY! FOR EVER!"
"I don't think it's just you who would disappear," Roxas said, stopping his pacing, "I think we would disappear as well."
"WHAT!" Naminé gasped, "Why would we disappear?"
"Think about it Naminé," Roxas said sternly, "We are only half of what Kairi and Sora are; they are the true beings, while we are merely just shadows of their existence. We are the nobodies, and without them we'd probably fade back into the darkness. We aren't meant to exist, and we aren't like other nobodies, but without them we'd probably end up fading back into the darkness."
"We HAVE to find a way to become one again," Naminé said to Kairi, "For both of our sakes."
"Yeah, no kid-" Kairi stuttered as the ground started shaking, "What's happening!"
The three of them ran out of the house to find that the sky had turned a dark purple.
"Oh no!" Kairi said, as the ground started shaking again.
"I've come back for what I rightfully deserve," said a familiar voice.
The three turned around, and were shocked by who they saw.
