Chapter 13 Welcome Home

Kairi's POV

I was sitting on the Paopu Fruit tree when Naminé came to sit with me.

"Are you okay", she asked in concern.

I didn't answer. I just looked down sadly.

Naminé was about to say something...but stopped.

"Kairi", she said before pointing towards the sky. "Look!"

With that I did as told...and gasped in shock.

Something had fallen from the sky and into the ocean.

"Could it be", I asked myself.

Then I jumped off the Paopu Fruit tree and started running towards the ocean.

"Wait up", Naminé yelled before following me.

We ran to the edge of the ocean...just as somebody popped their head up from under the water.

This person was...Riku.

"Riku", I said in shock. "Riku!"

When Riku heard this he turned around...and spotted us.

Then...Naminé ran towards and tackled him causing both of them to fall into the water.

I laughed before running up towards them.

"Kairi", Riku said happily when he saw me.

"Riku", I said happily. "You're here."

"I am", Riku says happily.

"Where have you been", Naminé asked. "What happened?"

Riku was about to answer...when he seemed to remember something.

He got up and began looking around. Then...he said this.

"Sora", he called out. "Sora!"

"Sora", I said in shock.

Then...Riku says something that took me by surprise.

"He was with me just a second ago."

I couldn't believe these words.

"You...you were with Sora", I asked in shock. "Where is he?! Is he okay?!"

"We were competing in something called the Reaper's Game."

"The Reaper's Game", Naminé asked in confusion.

"It's a game where people fight for a second chance at life."

"Wait", I said in realization. "Does that mean Sora is..."

"No", Riku replied quickly. "We won the game! That means that he should be alive."

When I heard this...I breathed out a sigh of relief.

Sora's not dead.

"But then where is Sora", Naminé asked.

"I don't know", Riku replied. "But he has to be somewhere."

"Then what do we do", I asked.

"Let's meet up with everybody else", Riku suggested. "Then we can all make a plan together."

The Next Day

We had all gathered at Master Yen Sid's tower.

"I did some research on this Reaper's Game", he revealed.

"What did you find out Master", the king asked.

"What Riku says is true", Master Yen Sid revealed. "The Reaper's Game is a game where the recently deceased compete for a second chance at life."

"Did you find out anything about what may have happened to Sora", I asked.

"Yes", Master Yen Sid replied. "According to my research, even if more than one person wins the game...only one of them will be given a second chance of life."

HotXbun: Dun dun! Now you know why Sora is still in the game.

Challenge: Tell me what you think is going to happen next.

My Answer: Not telling!
