I do not have the ownage of the Kingdom Hearts. That means I do not pwn Disney or Square. Me no L33T enough.
Kairi didn't know what to say. Her friend, who's been with her ever since she arrived here, had just said the four words that would have made any woman happy. She was about to answer back, but suddenly, a hand grabbed her shoulder and turned her around. She was face to face with a teen who had silver hair.
"Kairi!" Shouted Riku, who was wearing a black tuxedo. "I can't hold back the feelings I have for you! Please..." Riku kneeled down and opened up a box. Inside was a ring with a gem shaped like one of the flowers on her keyblade. "Will you marry me?"
Now Kairi definitely did not know what to say. Both of her friends just proposed to her in the presence of each other. However, both Riku and Sora noticed each other, and they both got to their feet and drew out wooden swords.
"She's mine!" Sora and Riku yelled at each other at the same time. "No! She loves me more!" Kairi was about to step in and prevent a fight, but suddenly, the Heartless surrounded here. Before she could even get her keyblade, the Heartless dogpiled her. She knew she was not going to last long...
She later woke up to the rambling of her two friends, most likely still at each other. Look around, she noticed that she was back in the castle of Hollow Bastion, specifically the room with the Keyhole where she and the other princesses were captive before. She attempted to get up from the ground, but her limbs, somewhat spread out, seemed to feel a bit heavy. Managing to sit up at least, she looked down at herself and wished she hadn't. Somehow, she ended up in a costume that resembled the Paopu Fruit, her limbs and head in each section of the fruit and her face (with some bangs of hair) being the only body part exposed.
"I searched every world for her, and I crashed into one because Donald was about to fly away from it!" Sora shouted. They were fighting as Sora thrusted his weapon and Riku stepped to the side. It was somewhat ridiculous, in Kairi's point of view, since both were still in their tuxedos and fighting with their wooden swords.
"I sold myself to the darkness!" Riku shouted back as he swung his blade horizontally, which Sora countered by crouching. "I hated the witch and I hated Xehanort, but it was worth it for her!"
"You abandoned her when you sought the darkness! I stayed behind and earned her heart!"
"And while you decided to become a heartless, I had to stop Xehanort, the king of Heartless, from trying to hurt her!"
"I would rather become a heartless as long as Kairi is safe!" Sora then lifted the stick above his head and send it crashing down on Riku. There was silence as if nothing happened, and neither of the three moved. After a minute, Riku was the first to step forth, but he dropped his wooden sword as he patted his rival's shoulder.
"Sora..." Riku breathed with difficulty. "I'm entrusting you with the task of looking after Kairi..." Tears formed on his cheek, as the same happened to Sora and Kairi. "I realize what the darkness has done to me. I can't let you see me like this, after all the pain and suffering I caused you." Riku put on the Organization coat as he turned and left. "Well, this is goodbye, my friends. Don't bother coming after me."
As Riku was about to leave, Sora grabbed onto his sleeve. "Don't go, Riku! The three of us promised we'll all stick together no matter what happens!"
Sora was answer with a piko hammer to his head. Riku fumed. "Sora! I told you to look after her and YOU. HAVE. FAILED!"
Sora stared at Riku, and then they shifted into Final Form and Dark Mode respectively, but this time fighting each other with Struggle Bats. Kairi laid back on the ground in her Paopu costumed and sighed, but she then saw Namine, who had disappeared sometime after Riku had shown up at Nobody HQ.
"Um, Namine, mind getting me out of this?" Namine smiled, and then she crouched down and started poking her in the forehead.
"Poke, Poke, Poke, Poke..." Namine sang, annoying Kairi. However, she couldn't feel the finger of this blonde, but she could feel it just the same. Well, this whole ordeal did make a lot of sense now.
"Poke, Poke, Poke, Poke..." a chirpy voice sang.
Kairi's eyes were closed, telling Sora and Riku that she still needed time to decide. However, the poking was annoying her, and she knew one who did that on purpose. "Selphie, please stop doing that..." Kairi mumbled, still sleeping.
"How'd you know my name?" The voice answered back. It was bubbly as her friend Selphie alright, but it was higher than the last time Kairi saw her.
"What are you talking about?" Kairi grumbled as she opened her eyes. "You're my best-"
This time, Kairi actually opened her eyes and scooted back. In front of her was Selphie. She still had that bell-shaped hair and she still wore a yellow dress. The only thing that alarmed Kairi was that Selphie was as short as she was back at the night of the Heartless. No, not only shorter but also younger. Kairi did not know what to say.
Soon to join Kairi were Riku and Sora, who have woken up and just as puzzled as her. Selphie was a bit confused herself, but she did speak when the others could not find words to break the silence.
"You guys look like older versions of my friends!"
