We'll Meet Again

It took me over a month but I finally came up with a story! So I hope you like this. : )

Chapter 1

Sora, a young boy at the age of ten was staring at the ocean. It was his favorite thing to do. While he would stare at the ocean, he would wonder if there was anything past his home, Destiny Islands. Sora was always curious about if other places besides his home existed. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a strange light. He turned to see what it was, and from the light came a young boy with silver hair. Sora jumped back in fear.

"It really worked..." the silver-haired boy said looking around at the island.

"Who are you?" Sora asked. "Where are you from?"

The young boy smiled. "My name is Riku. I'm from another world."

That day, the two got to know each other and Riku explained how he had made it to Sora's world. He told him he had a friend who was really good with magic and was able to create a portal that could take people to another world. Sora was amazed by this. They spent the next few days playing with each other and Riku would tell Sora what his world was like. Riku had come from a place known as Traverse Town.

One afternoon...

"I wish I could see the world you came from." Sora said.

"But it's boring." said Riku.

"I don't care! Anything's better than here."

Riku turned to Sora and smiled. "I'm going back home really really soon. Do you want to come?"

"What?" This took Sora by surprise. "I dunno. I can't just leave. I mean, I want to see your world but...would I ever see my family again?"

"Hm..." Riku thought about it for a moment. "I'm not sure..."

"I guess I shouldn't go with you." Sora looked down at his feet. He looked back up to see a light flashing again.

"There's my way back." Riku began walking towards the light.

"Wait!" Sora called to him. "Are you ever coming back?"

"I don't know." Riku replied. "It took my friend who made this portal many years to make. I don't know if he'll ever be able to do it again."

Sora frowned. "So...this is goodbye?"

Riku walked up to him. "No. It isn't. We'll see each other again. I'll make sure of it! I promise, we'll meet again."

Sora beamed. Riku walked towards towards the light. He looked back at Sora once more, waved goodbye, and walked through.

"Goodbye Riku." Sora said softly as the light vanished. "I won't forget your promise."

Four Years Later...

Sora was walking along the shore, looking at the ocean.

"Sora!" he heard someone call to him. A girl walked up to him.

"Hey Kairi." Sora said, pulling something out of his pocket. "Happy 14th Birthday!" He handed her a necklace.

"Thank you!" she said as she hugged him. "I'll put it on right now."

"Glad you like it." Sora smiled. "Now you're fourteen like me."

"Sure am." Kairi put on her new necklace. "Um, Sora, could you follow me to the dock?"

He nodded, and followed her. She grabbed his hand as they walked. Sora felt uncomfortable and tried to pull his hand away from her, but her grip got tighter.

"Ow!" he screamed. "Kairi, you're hurting me! Let go!"

"Oh!" she let go. "Sorry about that."

After a while, they arrived at the dock.

"It's such a lovely day." Kairi said, looking up at the sky.

"Yeah." Sora looked up at the sky as well.

"Sora..." she said softly.

"Hm?" Sora looked away from the sky.

"I..." Kairi began to blush. "I don't quite know how to say this but...I..."

"Yeah?"

"I...I..."

"You...?"

"I like you! A lot!"

Sora went red. "Uh...you...do?"

Kairi nodded, still blushing.

"Well...uh...um..." Sora was not so sure of what he should say.

"You don't feel the same way...do you?" Kairi said weakly.

"I'm sorry, Kairi." He saw the tears building up in her eyes.

"How could you break my heart...on my own birthday?" she said quietly still trying to hold back her tears.

"What? But you--"

"I should've known you would do this!" she yelled. "Well you know what? Here!" She took off her necklace and threw it at Sora's head.

"Hey, what was that for?" he asked. "Come on Kairi! I want us to still be friends!"

"Shut up!" she shouted, pushing Sora over onto the ground.

Geez, Kairi's strong. Sora thought. Then again, I just may be weak.

Kairi stormed off as Sora got up. He had felt bad for how he made her feel, but he did not like her the way she liked him. There was nothing he could do about it. Sora knew she was the type to get angry easily. It was rather scary. Whenever she got mad, she would either get violent or give people the silent treatement for a really long time even if they had nothing to do with the situation.

Maybe she'll feel better tomorrow. Sora thought, and headed home.

That night, Sora sat on his bed and looked out the window. He could see the entire island from his window. The section he could see the best was the dock. Dark clouds were hovering over the island. Thunder began booming and lightning began flashing. Rain began pouring down. Winds began blowing like crazy. Sora continued to stare. He then noticed someone standing on the docks. It was Kairi! And though there was rain, thunder, and lightning, she simply stood still.

"Oh, my God!" Sora cried. "What is she doing out there?"

He quickly slipped his shoes on and ran outside. He ran onto the docks and saw Kairi standing there, watching the sky.

"Kairi!" he yelled over the thunder. "What are you doing out here?"

"Get away from me, Sora!" she yelled back. The wind was getting more intense and the thunder was getting louder. "You don't care about me, so why are you even talking to me?"

"Kairi, you're being ridiculous!" he called back. "Please, just don't stay out here!"

Suddenly, a strange light formed behind Kairi. Before she had a chance to see what was going on, she was sucked in.

"Kairi!" Sora cried. He then felt himself being pulled towards the light. He had a hard time moving, and before he knew it, he was sucked in as well.

Meanwhile, at Traverse Town...

"I was so close!" Merlin cried. Merlin was an old magician, and a friend of Riku's.

"What are you talking about?" Riku asked.

"Well," Merlin began. "remember that portal I created four years ago?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I was actually close to making it again! But something messed up and it vanished after I finally finished making it."

"I see." Riku turned away from Merlin to hide the sad look on his face. He still remembered Sora and had been hoping he could see him again.

I wonder if he would've even remebered me. he thought. Probably not...

All of a sudden, another light appeared.

"That's it!" Merlin exclaimed. "That's the portal I created!"

Suddenly, Sora emerged from the portal and fell onto the ground.

"Goodness me!" Merlin cried.

"Are you ok?" Riku bent down by Sora.

Sora looked up. In an instant, Riku recognized him.

"...Sora? Is it really you?"

To be continued...

I really hope you all enjoyed the first chapter! I promise I'll try to put up chapters as often as possible. I am usually very dedicated to what I start. Comments would be appreciated, but if you would rather wait until I have put up more for you to be able to decide whether you like it or not, then ok.
