Kairi tossed in bed. She awoke startled and sweating. She got out of bed and shuffled in front of Sora's room. Opening a crack, she spied him sleeping.
"Ah?' Sora asked still groggy from sleep. He jolted upwards, got caught in his sheets, and fell to the ground. Kairi giggled and ducked behind the door. When she heard him get back in bed, she went back to her room. Sora was back. Why did she always have the same dreams after same dreams? Could she not forget her past?
Closing her door very so lightly as to not disturb everyone else, she clamored into bed and slept again.
The next morning Sora was awoken by Donald and Goofy who said everyone was already on the gummi ship waiting for him to wake up. Sora immediately fled from his room and bolted into the gummi hanger.
"Morning Sora. Are you ready to go to the Radiant Garden?" Master Yen Sid asked and Sora nodded yawning. Everyone boarded until only Donald and Goofy remained.
"Why can't we go?" Donald asked holding in his temper.
"Patience dear duck, you are needed here, besides, you will not have access to the world of Fengorafel, you have no keyblade. The spites seem to only take the people with keyblades."
"Can't you make us one? You can do almost everything Master Yen Sid."
"True I can almost do everything, but it is still almost. Making a keyblade is beyond my powers. Say good bye and come with me, we must get right away to the research." Goofy and Donald sadly agreed and told the three.
"Guess we'll have to do this alone Riku." Sora said and Riku nodded. "Sorry guys, maybe next time."
"Come back in one piece Sora." Goofy and Donald nodded.
"I won't forgive you if you let Kairi die." Sora rolled his eyes.
"Sure Donald, you don't care if I die."
"Sora!" Sora grinned.
"Just kidding. We'll take care. Bye guys." The door closed and Sora saw Donald and Goofy waving. He frowned slightly. When will he be able to see his friends again?
"It's alright Sora." Kairi said comfortingly. He nodded and went into the cockpit.
"Ready everyone?"
"Yes!" Chip and Dale, Kairi and Riku shouted in wholehearted good spirit. Before they knew it, Radiant Gardens loomed over them. They entered and already saw people looking at the sky. Keyblades dropped down into the hands of people and they looked at it in confusion.
"Sora! Riku!" A familiar voice called. Leon came running up to them, his gunblade in hand. "What's going on?" He asked and Sora smiled.
"Don't worry Leon, leave this to us."
"Come back to Merlin's House, we need to talk."
"We can't Leon, we have to stay here. Something important is about to happen." Leon looked at him.
"I see you're already on this mission. Very well. I leave it to you."
"Tell everybody I said hi." Sora said and ran into the crowd of confused people looking at a child on the stage in the middle of the square.
"Settle down! I have the answers that you need." The girl said. She grinned and people saw rows of sharp teeth. They gasped.
"Sora! Spite!" Kairi said and Sora nodded.
"Riku…" The boy had already charged. Sora leapt from his shoulder and attacked the spite. The keyblade quivered and the child screamed horridly. The child split in two and a black aura escaped going towards the sky. There it spun violently until the child skin it had left behind floated and attached onto the aura as though it was attracted to it. Everyone gasped and stepped back hastily.
"Stupid, stupid boy!" It cried and flew in front of Sora's face.
"How is it that you know how to wield it already? Never mind that." It pointed its fingers at the crowd and instantly they stopped their panicking and faced it. " Now, I have answers to your-"
"Everyone! Don't listen to it!" Kairi shouted watching as the people turned to face it. However, everyone seemed too enchanted to notice.
"E-Everyone?" She asked and the spite laughed wickedly.
"Those without strong hearts fall victim to my spells faster. They won't come out anytime soon." It turned towards the crowd.
"If you wish to possess Kingdom Hearts, your neighbors must perish!" Its shouts echoed and immediately everyone turned on each other. Sora, Riku, and Kairi glanced at the spite in horror. It turned to them and grinned wickedly.
"You know how to wield it. I guess it is time to choose. We are a year earlier than 200 years ago." It said frowning then snapped its finger. The people stopped fighting and turned back to the spite. Most were engulfed with blue fire. Sora, Riku, and Kairi were also engulfed.
"Kairi…" Sora whispered as a horrible scream filled his ear. The flame seemed to consume his heart and he felt it burn in his chest with a raging fire. The scream distressed him more however. Master Yen Sid did little to describe it, it screamed in his ears such depressed madness and raging hatred. It made a tear fall from his eyes though he was too busy to notice. He was crippled in pain form the noise. The world blacked out.
