Chapter nine: The Truth
-------------------------------
How-how could she do that to me? I thought she liked me! God, I thought maybe she even loved me! Maybe it was by accident. Maybe...
Sora sat with is back against the wall, with his hands on his face. A clueless Namine and Riku looked at him oddly. They had no idea what just happened. They were not even sure if Sora knew what just hapened! Whatever it was, they knew it upseted him; badly.
" Sora? Wha happened?" Namine asked again. His last responce was no help at all.
Silence.
" Sora? Please, tell us what happened." She asked again.
Silence.
" Please?"
Sora dropped his hands to his sides, and gazed at Riku, and then at Namine. He sighed, and looked towards the ground.
" I never thought-" Sora said mostly to himself.
"What did you never expect?" Riku spoke up intently. Sora loked up the older teen's sad and torn face. He searched his eyes, maybe he would know the answer without him telling him. Just like Kairi and him used to be able to do... He zoned out again. It was so obvious, so Riku spoke up again.
" Sora, your zoning out again." Riku informed. Sora snapped out of his sad thoughts and looked back at him.
" Huh? Oh, nothing." Sora lied sadly. He sighed again. He seemed to be doing that a lot.
" Really Sora, you can tell us. It not like we can tell anyone really." Riku laughed, trying to lighten the mood. But it obviously didnt work.
"Its just..." Sora began. He looked to the ground, but he could tell Namine and Riku were leaning closer to try to listen. " Kairi... she."
" Did you have a memory of Kairi's?" Namine asked. Sora nodded slightly
"Well, what happened?" Riku asked, getting a little impatient. Sora closed his eyes, hoping that he would never have to face them again. Face the world, face Kairi. The thought of her doing that to him made him want to curl up in a ball. Yes, he was that hurt. See, he never noticed that he loved her. Back on Destiny Islands, sure, he always liked her. But since they were seperated now, he realized how much he cares for her. How much he really loves her. Would this experience make him stop loving her? No, of couse not. Nothing would. He would always love her, with her heart and soul. Even if she was maybe with another guy... I wont stop loving her. He loved her. Nothing to it. It sure did take a while, but aslong as he knew this, everything would be alright. Right?
" I-I just had a vision now," Sora started again looked at them both. " Well not really a vision, not even a memory. But more like, seeing the present. You know, where she is now. I saw her, she was diffferent. Different clothes, taller, more beutiful..."
" Okay we get it Sora, she's different. Continue." Riku said with a smirk. But Sora hardly heard his comment and continued.
" Well, she was with Donald and Goofy. And, some blond kid I dont know named Roxas. And Kairi was holding, well... my keyblade." Namine and Riku's mouths dropped.
" Where was she?" Namine asked.
" Outside of Castle Oblivion. You know, the long field and blue sky." Sora answered. So she was right. She knew she was somewhere, but not there. But now, she realized, he knows Kairi is out of Destiny Islands! He wasnt supposed to know that. Maybe he knows what she is doing. Maybe he knows her mission.
"What else?" Namine asked. Sora looked to the ground.
" Well," he started slowly. " She was talking to Donald and Goofy, showing them the Oathkeeper. She started saying that when she found it, Roxas tried to swing it in the air. But it apeared in Kairi's arms instead! She mentioned that Roxas wasKeyblade master too. But then why did It apear with her. And then Goofy answered the question for me. No, he wasnt talking to me, they couldnt see me, but I could have sweared that Kairi saw me. Well, anyway, he said maaybe it was because we share a heart and the closest one to me was her, so it went to her. So, once that was settled, they said something about hurrying because they had to save me. Is it true?"
Namine and Riku looked at eachother, wide-eyed. They nodded their heads simotaneously. They knew this wasnt good. But, atleast he figured it out himself. That way, I didnt mess up the balance, and Riku didnt break the promise. Maybe its better that he knows. He's going to be mad at us for not telling us. But He'll just have to understand. Namine thought.
I agree.
Huh? Is that you Riku?
Yeah, I think you went into my mind by accident.
Hehe... sorry. But you do agree. Namine giggled and blushed.
Yeah, but now I have to tell King Mickey about this.
Oh.
Silence.
Ummm... can you et out of my head now?
Oh... sorry. Namine blushed again. Sora stared at the two, and raised an eyebrow.
" Well anyway, Donald and Goofy started walking towards the path, and Kairi tried to follow, but Roxas grabbed her wrist and..." Sora couldnt go on. It hurt a lot inside.
" And?" Namine asked sadly.
" And-and... they-they kissed." Sora said in choked words. Namine gasped, and Riku stared wide eyed. " And I thought... that well, she liked me. But I guess... she moved on now." Sora said ever so sadly. The way Sora said it, with such devastation, and sadness made her want to cry.
" Im so sorry Sora." Namine said. Riku nodded in agreement. Riku himself was surprised and sad. He knew he didnt like her anymore, but she was still one of his best friends. And plus, he felt really bad. Sora deserves her. Not anyone else. Not me, not that kid, but Sora. But, what happened after that? Riku couldnt help but wonder.
"Then what happened?" Riku asked.
" You guys took me out of the 'memory'. So I dont know what happened next." Sora said. He closed his eyes, and rolled his head against the cool stone. Namine looked at Riku, an d Riku looked at her. Namine sighed, and closed her eyes. Under her closed eyes, she squinted. Then she let out a gasp. There was silence, and no emotion from her face. She her lips curled into a smile. Whatever she was seeing, it sure was making her smile.
--------------------------------------------------
Kairi clenched her fists as she walked down the road following Donald and Goofy. Her palms became white, and her face was red from anger. She could still hear Roxas crying in pain behind her. God how she hated him. How could he do that to me? And Sora, he must have saw. Was that even Sora? But she disagreed. It was definatly not Sora. But something deep down was sreaming otherwise. But she just kept walking.
But still, if it was him, which it probably wasnt, i wonder how he felt. Was he mad? Was he sad? Did he... care? Just then, the warmth that was flowing through her body, ceased. She stopped in her tracks and put her hand to her heart. No, its gone! But I'm still holding onto the Keyblade! Shegrasped onto the Keyblade tighter, hoping that the warmth would come back. She stood there for a long time, holding onto what she had left of Sora. Finally, she felt a small spark of warmth. But it soon diminished. Thats when she realized, almost like she was hit over the head, it really was him.
--------------------------------------------------
Namine opened her eyes again, still smiling. Should I tell him? Wait, what am I thinking? I cant forget the balance! But maybe I could clue him in. It would still count for him figuring it out himself. Right?
" Sora? Have you considered that maybe she didnt want to kiss him?" Namine asked slyly. Sora looked up, with a really perplexed face. Wow, he really is clueless and naive. Namine thought.
" I doubt it." Sora said. Namine raised an eyebrow.
"Oh really? Well, how do you know for shure what happened after we pulled you out of that dream/memory/whatever it was." Namine responded. Sora looked up again to a new light.
" Maybe..." Sora agreed slightly. " Hey! Wait! How do you know this!" Namine tried to play it as cool as she could. So she raised an eyebrow.
" Well, I'm just looking at another perspective. I mean, why would she do that to you anyway? I mean you two obviously love each-" But Namine was cut off.
" Were not in love with eachother! " Sora exclaimed.
" You shure?"
" Maybe,... I dont know." Sora sighed.
---------------------------------------------------
Kairi boarded the ship. She wasnt that mad anymore, she was more scared. So that really was Sora... I hope he doesnt think I wanted to kiss him! Why would I want to kiss him? Then again, he doesnt know whoRoxas is, and he might think he is my boyfriend or something. Eeeeeew! I-I hope he can believe in me. She sighed as she plopped sadly onto the seat.
" Gwarsh, why are you so sad Kairi?" Goofy asked getting right in her face in a conserned way., A/N: you know what I'm talking about, right? Kairi just looked towards the ground.
" Like we said to Sora before, no sad faces. Okay? This is a happy team!" Donald said, putting a finger up. Kairi giggled, and nodded her head.
" Say, where's Roxas?" Goofy asked putting a finger to his mouth. Then, an annoyingblond haired boy ran into the cramped control room.
" Here! Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Roxas exclaimed as he triped to the ground. He looked up, and smiled sheepishly. Kairi didnt want to talk to him ever again. Just ignore him Kairi, all he wants is attention.
" Hey Kairi baby." Roxas said sudductively. sp? Kairi just rolled her eyes and looked out the window. Donald clicked a few buttons, and flicked some switches, as everyone strapped in. Roxas held for dear life on Donald's chair.
" Lift off!" Donald exclaimed. The ship went pelting upwards, making Kairi glued to her seat. Then suddenly, the ship started falling downwards abruptively, and a sickly feeling started to erupt in her stomach.
" YAAAAAHAHAHOOOOOYEEEEEEE!" Goofyyelped as they kept dropping. Donald hastily pushed an orange button, and the ship steadied itself again. Kairi let out a sigh if relief, and relaxed her tense arms which were gripping her chair. She looked over to Roxas as she snickered when he saw him gasping for breath on the floor. She then turned to Donald.
" So, which world are we going to?" Kairi asked asshe could see two worlds far infront of them.
" Uhhhhh... left or right?" Donald asked. Kairi snapped her head towards him.
" You mean you have no predictions?" Kairi asked.
" No."
" Fine, okay, I chooooose... left!" Donald nodded and started to turn the ship towards it. Kairi glanced out the window again. Then she noticed something to her left. She saw a world with a blue and white castle ontop, and a village on the underside. The Castle was oddly slanted in random directions. She squinted her eyes more. She thought she saw black clouds suround it, but maybe... it was just her imagination.
