A/N I don't own Kingdom Hearts but I do own this story. The first half of the chapter is from Sora's POV. The second half is Kairi's POV. This will mention his wife but I won't reveal what happened to her until later. Kairi will meet Sora's parents who are Final Fantasy characters.

Who are they? You're about to find out. Oh and don't worry, other KH characters will make an appearance in later chapters. Since this is also a basketball fic, I will not use UK basketball players names but I will use their skill sets like I will use Anthony Davis(who was 1 for 10 in the Championship game yet was MVP) Will have a different name but he will also be the best player in College Basketball.I also don't own the Kentucky Wildcats nor do I have rights to the NCAA(even though I wish. They're more evil than Organization XIII) Anyway enjoy.

Sora POV

After I picked up Haru and Ami, I drove them a couple of miles until I reached my parents house. You see I was born here in Lexington. I've been a Kentucky basketball fan all my life. I love basketball so much that I've dedicated my life to coaching basketball. I have been coaching for 12 years since I was 22. I had so much success that they asked me to coach the university of Kentucky 2 years ago. Besides my wedding and my kids being born that was the greatest day of my life because I had my dream job.

My goal is to not only win a championship but help my players achieve their dreams of playing in the NBA. I had success but our teams were one win away from the Final Four. But this year it's gonna be different. After I parallel parked, I got the kids out then we walked over to my parents house. Unlike me living in a big white house with a brown rooftop, they've been living in a trailer for 30 years. I waited patiently for someone to open the door until it open to reveal a brown haired woman tied to a braid. She gave me a smile.

"Hi, sweetie." My mother whose name is Aerith smiled.

"Hey, Mom. How are you? And where's dad?" I asked as me and the kids walked inside to the living room.

"Oh, your father's out grocery shopping. She answered. "He's very excited for the kids to spend the night on Saturday while you have that rotary club meeting."

I rubbed my head. "Yeah, I bet. The kids are excited too." My mom then turned to my kids and gave them a big grin!

"How's your new school, going?" She asked.

"Good, Mamaw!" Answered Aimi. "Me and Kiki played with the teacher's Disney princesses. We also had a puppet show."

"Really?" My mom cooed. "What was it?"

"It was little red riding hood." My son answered.

"Oh... I love that story. And what about you, Haru?"

"I met this new kid name Ken. He's Mrs. Mori's son. He's really cool."

"Oh really?" Mom asked in a curious tone. "What does he do?"

"Like me, he's into basketball, He loves Spider-Man and Captain America and he's coming to Big blue madness with his mommy."

"Oh, well hope to meet them." I chuckled then I checked my watch to check the time.

"Well, I better go. Time to meet the team. You two behave for your Mamaw and Papaw."

"We will, Daddy." Ami promised with her adorable voice. She reminds me of her mother. I hugged both of my children then walked out then stopped for minute.

"Before I go, I just wanna tell you, I invited their Kindergarten teacher. Her son is Haru's best friend and they were coming to watch from the upper level but I gave them VIP passes so they can sit in the lower level with you guys. When you see them, please give them warm hospitality."

My mother looked surprised for a minute then she smiled.

"Don't worry. We'll make sure they'll have a good time."

I smiled and thanked her then I walked to my car and drove to Rupp Arena. I just have a feeling that this is the year I will get that trophy.

3 hours later Kairi's POV

After Ken and I took off to Rupp, I made sure he and I had our VIP pass before we left. After a long car ride, I heard a small whine.

"Are we there yet, Mommy?" He asked me. I gave a long sigh. Why did he inherit his father's impatience? I looked at the review mirror and gave him a smile.

"Patience, Ken. We'll almost there." Thankfully after running a red light then passed through the big bank building we finally made it to Rupp. I sighed then stepped then parked into the building garage. After we showed our VIP passes, we made it to the VIP seats. To be honest, this is the closest seat I even in. Usually I always the upper level which suck sometimes. I haven't been to a game in years before Kazuki died. I have to admit the crowd atmosphere was pretty exciting. Suddenly a brunette woman with braid hair and green eyes. On her left is a Man with spiky black hair. On her left is the two adorable little munchkins she teaches.

"Hi, Haru. Hi, Ami." Kairi waved. Both kids looked up and smiled.

"Mrs. Mori, Ken!" They both exclaimed. They jumped up and hugged their kindergarten teacher. Kairi laughed and hugged both kids.

"It's good to see you guys. You excited to see your daddy coach?" She asked them.

"Yeah,he told me this is gonna be his best team ever." Kairi gave him a smile. He reminds her of Ken and is proud that they are best friends.

"Really? Even better than his first team, two years ago?" She asked.

"Better." He answered. She giggled then rubbed his head. She looked up to the two older people seating next to them. Kairi decided to take Haru's seat so he can sit with Ken.

"Hi, I'm Kairi Mori. I'm their teacher." The woman gave smile to Kairi.

"Nice to meet you. Sora told me you'd come. I'm Aerith, their grandmother and this is my husband Zack. Sora said Haru and Ken are best friends." Kairi looked over to see her son and Haru sitting playing rock paper scissors together. Ken won because he used paper and Haru used rock.

"Yeah, he used to be lonely. He used to never talk to anyone. He would always play by himself. He never had any friends. I think it's due to not having a father. But ever since he met Haru and Ami... they've been inseparable." Aerith giggled.

"Sora was like that when he was younger. He knew a boy named Riku. When they were in Kindergarten, Riku was lonely. He never had any friends because he too didn't have a father but one day Sora met Riku and for some special reason, they formed a bond. They've been best friends ever since and Riku's been coaching with Sora since his earlier coaching days. And they were each other's best men at their weddings." Kairi felt amazed. She couldn't believe that two people formed a bond and are now coaching with each other after all these years. She then looks at the court to watch the players practicing ball. She sees the tall 6'10 young man named Patrick Johnson who is a freshman was being guarded by a man the same height as him only he has silver hair. He then backed up then shoots a hook shot and it banked in. Kairi remembers watching him play High school ball. He is said to be the best player in next year's draft. Next she sees a familiar player shooting threes. His name is Carl Arlington. Last year he was the best three pointer. He was gonna go to the NBA but he felt he wasn't ready so he decided to come back.

Kairi looks down to see two players stretching their legs with the athletic trainer. The taller player was Terry Johnson. He too also returned for Sophomore season because he feels he wants to improve his Stock. The player beside him is named Andrew Turner. He is a Kentucky born bred. He was a Sophomore when Sora came three years ago. He struggled at first but last year, he overcame it and help UK reach the Final Four. He feels this is the best chance to win a title. The bench players were shooting jumpshots. Kairi never been this close to a basketball game before. She then sees Sora talking to a person with short spiky blonde hair and blue eyes. Kairi noticed something familiar about that man. Sora and the man was laughing before they gave each other hugs the man before he left for his seat. Sora then walked over near the seats to talk to his parents.

"Hey, Mom. Hey, Dad. You having a good time?" He asked.

"Oh yeah, Son. from what we see is you look like you have a hell of a team." Zack grinned.

"Dad, language. After all my kids could hear." Sora then sees his twins mother sitting next to him.

"Mrs. Mori. Good to see you." He said then he gave her a hug which made her blush. Zack and Aerith noticed it then they see their son smiled. It was first time he smiled like in a long time.

"It's nice to see you too, Sora but call me Kairi." Sora chuckled.

"Okay... Kairi. You enjoying my parents?"

"Yeah.. they've been telling me that Haru is like you when you were a kid. And knowing Haru these past few weeks, I can see it." She said looking at the silver haired man coaching one of the players.

" Yeah, well Riku and I are like brothers. I don't know if I would have been the same man I am if we never met. I owe some of my success to him.

"That's beautiful Sora." They stood there in silent for a moment before the lights started to dim.

"Well it's time for my speech than Scrimmage." Sora said as he walked to the podium that was set at midcourt. After 4 minute Player introduction. Sora stood behind the podium and began his speech to the Big Blue Nation.

"What an incredible night to celebrate the things that make our program great, that make the Commonwealth's team the best program in the country. To the thousands here in Rupp Arena, to the millions watching at home, across the state, country and globe to every member of the Big Blue Nation. My family and I want to thank you for an incredible two years. Though we had good times, we had some bad times but you helped me coped with those bad times and I am forever grateful to you all. We are ready for another fantastic season and we will respect every opponent we face. And I also promise that we will play harder than the team we face. Thank you."

The crowd cheered as Sora left the podium to sit at the coach's seat.

After the madness. Kairi and Sora's family waited outside the locker room for him to come out of the locker. Kairi was holding her sleeping son while Aerith had her grandchildren on her lap. Zack was just standing beside her until the door opened to reveal Sora out,holding a bag. He gave his family a cheesy grin at the sight of his family. The kids, barley awake run to their father and hug him.

"Hey, guys. Did you have fun?" He asked.

"Yeah.. can't wait until the season starts." Haru said before yawning. He picked him up and put his head on his shoulders.

"Well, I better get these little tykes to bed." Sora said.

"Yeah. And I better get this little guy home before he wakes and wants to sleep with me at my bed." Kairi whispered. Sora smiled at the beautiful red head.

"I hope you had a good time, Kairi." Kairi smiled.

"I did. Thank you, Sora." She said. Sora grinned then asked his mother to take Ami.

"Wait... Sora." Sora turned around

"Yeah?" Kairi's face turned red. She couldn't believe it that she is blushing But she ignored it.

"Are you coming to the boys game tomorrow?"

"Sure." Answered Sora. "I have a day off tomorrow and next Saturday so I'll be there as well.

"Great..so want to sit together? I think since our kids are friends, we should get to know each other." Sora nodded.

"Yeah, we can. I'll meet you there at 10:00." Kairi smiled then waved her hand at the spikey haired coach.

And that's chapter two. Boy that was fast. I plan to write chapter 3 as soon as possible. In the next chapter you will find out what happened to Sora's wife. Until then please enjoy this chapter. My goal is to finish this fic with 12 or 13 chapters. Until then see ya.
