"Hey Sora!" quacked Donald alongside Goofy. Sora was walking up to Kairi's dressing room door. "Hey guys! Whats up?" he asked. "Nothing much, its just were still trying to get over Kairi's preformance! She sure blew us away! Yuck!" said Goofy.
Sora laughed. "I'm about to go see her right now actually." "Oh, can we go with you? I need to congradulate her for doing such a great job." said Donald. "Yea, me too!" followed Goofy. Sora rubbed his head with a smile. "Umm you guys. If its ok I'd like to see her by myself." he said with a clumsy smile.
Donald laughed. "Oh no problem! You get her big boy." said Donald poking Sora in the hip with staff. He winked and turned around to head off. "Yuck! yea, got get em!" said Goofy as he turned and joined Donald. "Why does Sora want to get Kairi?" asked Goofy. Donald rolled his eyes. "Just come with me..." and they both vanished up the staircase.
Sora waved them off and approched the dressing room door about to open it when Selphie came out. "Oh hey Sora! Going to see kairi?" she asked with a smile. "Yup." "Well don't be too long! Kairi needs some rest!" "I'll keep that in mind Selphie." said Sora with a sweat drop. "Alrighty! See yea!" and Selphie went up the staircase as well.
Sora opened the door and closed it behind him. Kairi wasi n jer pajamas. They were blue with yellow stars and crescent moons on them. It was a button up shirt and pants which were warm and comfy. She was sitting at her dressor brushing her hair.
"Wake up you lazy bum!" said Sora playfully. "Sora!" she said not hearing him come in. She turned around putting her brush down with a smile. "And you did wake up. Then you freaked out about a dream you had." she giggled.
"Yea, and then you tried to race me and Riku, that was no contest." laughed Sora. "Oh yea? Well I'm a pretty good runner you know! I just need the practice!" she defended. "And the fact you made me and Riku get all the supplies didn't make it any better." said Sora with a grin. Kairi laughed as well.
"But the best part, was when we both sat at the docks..." "And talked about our future and our presetn." finished Sora with a now gentle expression. "You were awsome today Kairi..."
Kairi looked aup at him with a gentle and kind smile. "When I was comatosed, a voice spoke to me. He assured me that everything would be alright, and that he would help me and guide me when I wake up. And now I'm no longer comatosed, and that voice has been helping and guiding me." said kairi hoping that Sora would beleive her.
"I'm sure he has." said Sora with a wink and playful smile. "Now come on kairi, lets go to dinner. I heard Aerith cooked up a great meal." said Sora rubbing his stomach. "No Sora, the voice is very serious. How else can I sing beautifully?" "Oh come on Kairi." said Sora rolling his eyes. Maybe Selphie was right. he thought with a laugh. "I'll come back in two minutes. Hiopefully you'll be changed by then." said Sora as his stomach made rattling noises. "Wait Sora!" Kairi said seriously but he had already left.
Kairi sighed and looked at her mirror. Why won't anyone beleive me... she thought with a sad look on her face.
"Insolent boy!
This slave
of fashion
basking in your
glory!"
Boomed the voice suddenly. Kairi shuddered and looked around not seeing anyone. "Whose there?" she asked. "Show yourself!" The voice sang music from the play, but how did he know the words? Unless it was Tidus. "Tidus! I know your there!" she said angrily.
"Ignorant fool!
This brave
young suitor,
sharing in my
triumph!"
Kairi suddenly recognized it. It was the voice! The one that she's been trying to prove to Selphioe and Sora! It was him! Kairi decided to continue the song, she wanted to see who this voice was.
"Angel! I hear you!
Speak -
I listen . . .
stay by my side,
guide me!
Angel, my soul was weak -
forgive me . . .
enter at last,
Master!"
Kairi continued the song prefectly waiting for a response. She trembled, scared of who this was. Was it someone from the darkness? Was it Ansem?
"Flattering child,
you shall know me,
see why in shadow
I hide!
Look at your face
in the mirror -
I am there
inside!"
As the voice sang she started to feel at ease. Like she was in the arms of someone she loved. Kairi stopped trembling and as the voice neared the end of the verse kairi started to approch the mirror.
As Kairi walked, like a zombie toward the mirror she felt very calm and secured. When the voice sang its last line the shadows in the mirror formed a person. It was ayoung boy about Kairi's age, he had long black shiny hair. He wore an old fashioned suit with a heartless brooch pinned in the middle of his chest. From his shoulders draped a long dark cape. The most striking feature of this boy, was that half of his face was covered by a white mask.
"Angel of Music!
Guide and guardian!
Grant to me your
glory!
Angel of Music!
Hide no longer!
Come to me, strange
angel..."
Kairi sang was she approched the mirror. Closer and closer.
"I am your Angel .
Come to me: Angel of Music ..."
Chanted the boy as she sang and approched closer and closer to the reflection in the mirror.
Sora walked back down the stairs, he decided to get the appetizers and then go get Kairi. After all he was hungry. As Sora aprpoched the door, he heard muffled voices through the door. "Huh?" Sora ran to the door and tryed to open it but it was locked. "Kairi! Kairi! Whoae in there!" he yelled as he banged on the door.
Sora's cries were drowned by the chanting of the young boy. Kairi didn't seem to hear it, it was like the only people in the world were her and this young boy. She finally reached him, there they stood face to face.
"I am your Angel .
Come to me: Angel of Music ..."
Continued the boy and put out his hand for Kairi to get. As she lifted her hand to touch him Sora's cries became louder and louder, but they were not heard, for Kairi was entranced by the ominous power of the boy. Her hand continued to move foreward despite of Sora's cries. And when both hands touched, she knew she was in heaven...
