Chapter 16 My Light in the Darkness

Sora's POV

Kairi and I had managed to defeat all the Noise, and we even formed a pact while doing so.

"Are you okay", I asked her since she was panting.

"I'm fine", she replied.

Then...both of our phones went off.

"Huh", Kairi said in confusion. "What was that?"

With that Kairi and I took out our phones and looked at the screens.

Mission Complete

"Mission complete", Kairi repeated. "Does that mean that we did it?"

"We did", I replied.

Then, it suddenly became daytime, which made Kairi look around in shock.

"Huh", she said in confusion. "It's daytime?"

"We have to complete a week of missions in order to win the game", I revealed. "Each mission takes place on a different day, and when we finish one mission, we immediately fade out and are taken to the next day."

"So we don't get a break", Kairi asked in annoyance.

Before I could answer, my phone went off.

"Yep", I replied before taking it out and reading the screen.

Stay in a place of stories until the time limit runs out. Time limit: 24 hours. Fail and face erasure-The Reapers

"This is interesting", I stated. "Instead of having to complete a mission before the time limit runs out, we now have to wait until the time limit runs out."

As soon as I said this...Kairi flinched in pain.

She looked at her hand...and saw her timer.

"So this is the time limit", she asked.

"Yep", I replied. "Now let's see. What could they mean by a place of stories?"

And as soon as I asked this...I heard a group of teenagers say this.

"I heard about this manga café that has a package where you can stay for twenty four hours!"

"Did you hear that", I asked Kairi. "A manga café where you can stay for twenty four hours."

"And it would count as a place of stories", Kairi pointed out. "Let's go!"

With that Kairi and I started walking towards the manga café.

"Oh", I said suddenly. "I forget. I got this for you."

With that I took out something from my pocket.

It was the Omamori I had brought Kairi.

"An Omamori", she asked as she took it.

"Yeah", I replied.

Then...Kairi read what was written on it.

"You are my light."

Kairi's POV

"You are my light."

After I read these words...I looked at Sora in shock.

He smiled at me before putting the Omamori around my neck.

"It's true you know", he started. "You are my light. You wanna know what's been keeping me going during this game? Thinking about how you were waiting for me back home."

When Sora said this...I begin to cry.

"Huh", Sora said in confusion. "Why are you crying?"

"I'm sorry", I apologized. "It's just...I've missed you so much!"

After I said this...I tackled Sora into a big hug.

"Do you know how worried I was about you", I asked. "I didn't know where you were or what had happened to you! I was so scared that I would never see you again!"

After I said this...Sora wrapped his arms around me causing me to freeze up.

"That would never happen", he stated before looking at me. "You know why? Because I made a promise to you. A promise that I would come back to you, and that's a promise I'm going to keep no matter what."

When Sora said this...I thought about said promise he was talking about.

Remember what you said to me? I'm always with you too. I'll come back to you. I promise!

I know you will!

When I thought about this memory...I started crying...and smiling.

Then I pulled Sora back into a hug.

"I know you will", I stated before breaking the hug. "Now come on! Let's beat these missions so we can go home!"

HotXbun: My heart!

PS: I got the manga café idea from a video by The Anime Man in case it seemed familiar.

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

My Answer: Not telling!
