My cousins and little brother are always hogging the computer… And, starting from this chapter, everything starts getting pretty juicy… Hehehe. Oh, and I might not update fast for the next chapter as well. I need to do some other stuff… Anyway, on with the show... I mean... Story!!!

"Are you ready to see Kairi again?" asked the blond-haired man, as a smirk started creeping up his face 'Everything is going according to plan' he thought as Sora just looked down at the grass which made him stay in his exact spot. He heaved a great sigh "I wish I could…" he said softly, his voice to close to being a whisper. His sapphire-blue orbs averted its gaze to the bleak, gray stone tablet which was engraved with Kairi's name on it "But, how can I? She's gone,"

Ansem walked towards him and placed his hand on his shoulder. "You can meet her again," he said as Sora looked at his gleaming yellow eyes in hope "With this,"

He held up an object and Sora quickly grabbed it and his eyes were filled with wonder as he examined it. It was a watch with a beautiful detailed design on it. Its face had a picture of what seemed to be an hourglass, the small grains of sand looked like they fell down to the other side. It looked a little old and looked like it had been in the possession of other people before him. Sora was wrapped in his own thoughts about this and his eyes focused on Ansem again.

"Can you really do that?" he asked with wonder. Ansem just slowly nodded his head and showed off a malicious smirk. "When you're ready, wear it. You will find yourself in the past and you will see Kairi,"

Sora wanted to smile since he was going to see Kairi once more. He should be happy. But something about this watch made him feel unsure if he should to this or not. He was still confused but, he decided to put it on. The cold touch of the watch gave him shivers up his spine and something told him to put it on, but another told him to take it off. His head was arguing with itself and he couldn't take it much longer. Sora was about to put the strap on until Ansem called him.

"Wait," he said as Sora looked up at him "Not a lot of people get to have this kind of opportunity," he pointed to the object which was almost around Sora's wrist "This watch has the power for you to see her again, but, she will still die at the same time, at the same place. Are you sure you can handle the pressure of seeing Kairi dying again right before your eyes?"

'I knew this wasn't such a good idea' the brown haired boy thought to himself "N-no. I don't want to see Kairi die again. I think I'm not ready for this," he said softly "I still have to be one hundred percent sure of this,"

"Good decision, Sora," Ansem said as he nodded "Okay. But, I will leave this watch with you. If you want to see her once again, call out to me," Sora nodded, making sure he will remember. Ansem walked away, his body disappearing from Sora's eyes.

'I have to think this over…'

OoOoOoOoOoO

A Monday filled with sadness approached Destiny High and Sora went to school, after a long and tiring argument with his mother since it would just remind him too much of… Kairi. But, unfortunately, Sora lost the discussion and went to school anyway. He skimmed through his notes, not being able to concentrate since 'she' was still in his mind. Suddenly, a soft gentle hand was placed delicately on his shoulder "Sora?" the girl said.

'Kairi?' Sora thought to himself. It sounded so much like her voice. Her intoxicating, angelic voice. His cobalt-blue orbs looked at the girl.

Her eyes were filled with wet tears as her red hair fluttered in the wind as her white dress followed the pattern. Her pale body started glowing with an ethereal color as she opened her mouth to speak "Sora… You didn't save me…" she said as an echo copied her voice, repeating it over and over again in Sora's mind. She looked a lot like… her angel. His eyes widened until they couldn't get any wider "K-Kairi?" he asked

"Kairi?" she asked, the 'angel's' voice started changing into a different person's voice. "What are you talking about?"

He pushed away the imaginary dust which stayed in his eyes and refocused his eyes on the girl. Instead of seeing the girl of his dreams, he just saw Kairi's best friend. He looked down in disappointment "Oh, Sorry. Hi, Selph,"

The brown-haired girl heaved a long sigh "Look," she said as she sat down beside him "I'm really sorry for what happened to Kay-Ray," she said, tears swelling up in her eyes but she pushed them away before letting them fall to the ground. He just looked away and closed his noted and hung his head low. "I guess…," he started "I guess I just didn't love her enough,"

Selphie bit her lip and pushed his chin up "Sora, you loved her with all your heart, right?" she asked as the brown haired boy nodded his head forcefully "And, you'd do anything to see her, right?"

She was starting to sound a lot like Ansem already. "R-Right," he replied as Selphie tilted her head "Well, the best way to do that is to let her go,"

Sora's eyes were getting watery by the second "I-I wanna be with her, I truly do," he said, tears rolling out of his eyes "H-How could this happen?!" he said, hitting his balled fist on the table and he didn't care if it throbbed in pain "H-How could she go so quickly?!" he coughed out and Selphie joined him as both of them cried their hearts out.

After a long, harsh day of school, Sora went back home and locked himself in his room. He pushed away all his stuff and went to the closet which had Kairi's… 'Kitty's' guitar with its guitar case along with it. He opened the case, his hands felt weak and he eyed her acoustic guitar along with their letters and the other half of the paupou fruit. His eyes widened and he opened his drawer to get the small yellow star shaped fruit and joined both pieces together. He sighed 'I wish we could have shared one,' he thought.

Sora, still feeling sober, played their song… about ten times already. Each note felt like it pierced through his body and it came out of the other end. To make matters worse, he sang along with it with perfect pitch, making it even harder to bear. As he continued to sing, he remembered everything they've been through before. 'I should have made every second together be the most important thing in our lives…'

OoOoOoOoOoO

Night-time came and Sora was still locked in his room. He didn't eat dinner but he just starved in there, still thinking of Kairi. He took out the watch Ansem gave him a few days ago and started fiddling with it with his hands. 'Should I really go and see Kairi again?' he asked himself 'You want to see her, right?' his conscience asked back

Of course I want to… I-I love her. He said Then wear it… Sora looked at the hourglass in the watch's face 'I don't know… Something's different about this…'

You have to choose, Sora.

Outside Sora's room, Riku stood there, feeling really bad about what happened to Sora. Kairi's death was practically his fault. If he didn't go accusing her of his family being broken, Sora would have been happier by now. He softly knocked on the door. No answer. He knocked a little louder, knowing Sora was inside but still, no answer. "Sora?" he asked, hoping his brother would hear him through the thick door "I know you're in there. Open up,"

"Leave me alone…," Sora replied as Riku leaned in to listen to him "I don't want to see anyone right now,"

The silver haired teen walked away, seeing his mother sitting down on a chair and she was looking at her cup of coffee as her hands rotated it a little, watching the brown liquid slosh around the cup. Riku sat down on the other chair beside her and placed a hand to his head "Mom, Sora doesn't wanna go out of his room. I think he got too affected with what happened to Kairi,"

She took a sip of coffee delicately "I know… I think he would feel much better if we went to Hollow Bastion again," she said, sipping another drop "But for now, let him be in his room. Let everything sink in,"

The sixteen year old let out an exasperated sigh "Okay,"

OoOoOoOoOoO

Sora was still locked up in his room, tossing and turning on his bed. His dreams of being with Kairi started turning into nightmares where she was gone from his life… He couldn't sleep, not even one eye was closed or even getting a little heavy. He shifted his whole body weight to face his drawer where a light still emitted from the lamp and its light went to a picture frame, standing on its own.

It was a photograph of Kairi and himself, the red haired maiden wrapped her arms around his neck as she dangled behind him. She had a beautiful smile on her face and 'he' looked up at her. The picture started to move by itself, 'Kairi' started giggling and when 'Sora' placed his hand around hers, she just… disappeared.

The brown haired teen shook his head and the photo returned to its original state 'Oh… It was just a hallucination,' , Beside the picture was Ansem's watch, the face glinting with temptation and the second hand started moving clockwise, and with each passing second, its demands of wearing it got stronger and stronger. "Should I do this?"

He couldn't take it anymore. Sora tossed the covers aside and carefully snuck out the house, making sure not to make a loud noise to wake Riku or his mother up. He pushed away the door handles and took a long walk, his nose smelling the fresh air. He looked up at the obsidian-colored sky and eyed the beautiful, glittering stars twinkling down, casting its light on him. 'I wish I could see her again,' As if his dreams came true, a shooting start came out of nowhere, telling him his wish would be granted. 'That's it. I'm going to see her,'

His back pocket started vibrating and he reached in it to pick up his phone. He flipped it open and noticed the time on the upper right hand corner '11:30 pm' it read. "Is it really that late already?" he asked himself as he pressed the 'Answer' button in his phone. "Hello?" he questioned in the receiver

"Sora, it's me," his mother replied "I know you aren't feeling too good about Kairi,"

He lowered his head "Y-yeah,". "That's why we're going back to Hollow Bastion tomorrow," she said, Sora widened his eyes "Wh-What?! No! H-how about you?" he asked "Wasn't that why we came here in the first place? Wasn't it because we wanted to get away from dad's death place?"

"Yes, I know but, I can manage. We're doing this for you, Sora,"

OoOoOoOoOoO

Very early in the morning, Sora went back to Kairi's grave where Ansem stood there, having a blank look on his face "Ansem!" Sora shouted as the blond smiled and looked at him "Well, have you thought about it?". Sora nodded. "Well then, what's your decision?"

He looked at the grass and pulled out his watch from his back pocket and held it up, so the glass would shimmer and shine on its own. Suddenly, on the road, a car drove by. Riku and his mother were inside, the silver haired teen poked his head out of the driver's seat window "Hey! Sora!" he shouted out.

His piercing aqua eyes looked at the brunette who held up a trinket as he talked to… the air? "Sora? What the hell are you looking at?" he shouted even louder "Do we have to bring you to the hospital too?!". Sora wasn't able to hear him since all his focus was on Ansem.

"I'm gonna see her,"

"Sora! Snap outta it! We gotta go to Hollow Bastion!" the silver one shouted

Sora didn't pay any attention to his older brother and decided to put the watch on. He felt the coldness again, the same feeling he felt when he first put it on. But this time, it was more stronger. It was already on his wrist and something weird started happening. He looked around him, flashbacks of everything that has happened with Kairi flashed before his very eyes.

How Kairi died, how she became his girlfriend, how they met… it was all in chronological order, only that it was going backwards. His whole world started revolving and gusts of wind pressed against his face.

He looked at the watch on his wrist, the time going in a quick-paced counter-clockwise direction. The reflection from the glass forced him to look up at the sky. The sun started rising from the west and the moon chased it, faster and faster. He felt another gust of wind go in his eyes and it was trying to make him close his blue orbs but he just fought back. He opened his eyes enough for him to see Ansem, who, once again, disappeared into nothingness.

"W-What's happening?! Ansem!!!" he shouted but no one answered back. He quickly took off the watch from wrist and threw it hard on the floor. It started emitting a bright white light and Sora, as the curious boy he is, touched it. His eyes grew heavy and his body felt weak, something about the light drained all his energy away from him.

He fell into a deep, deep slumber. His memories started to disappear and he started forgetting who Kairi was… After what seemed like an eternity, he opened his eyes to notice, he wasn't in the cemetery anymore.

He was in a plane, Riku beside him, gazing at the clouds from the window as his mother was sitting down patiently as her son just woke up. Sora looked around him, feeling something weird in his stomach "Mom? Where are we? Are we going to Hollow Bastion?"

She chuckled as she patted his back "Hollow Bastion? We're going to Destiny Islands, remember?"

'I-I'm going to Destiny Islands? Wait, shouldn't we be going to Hollow Bastion by now?!' He looked down at the seat pocket and saw a newspaper. Sora took it out and looked at the date.

September 21

'How can that be? It was January yesterday… right?' he thought to himself and placed the newspaper in its proper place.

He hastily rose his hand a little bit and one of the plane's stewardesses came right away "Yes, sir?" she asked politely "How may I help you, sir?"

"Umm… W-What's the date today?" he asked. "September 21," she replied

Sora's eyes widened a little "Thanks…"

'Something is definitely up…'

OoOoOoOoOoO

The Tagayaki family landed in Destiny Islands, being greeted by Naminé and her parents "JJ?" she asked and somehow, Sora was forced to say something. "Kitty?" he asked

The blonde girl nodded and showed her pearl white teeth. He felt the warmth of her body when she wrapped her arms around him, giving a friendly hug. "Wow, after all this time, you changed a lot,"

"You too. Did you color your hair blonde?"

She nodded once again. He felt his head as it started thumping and pounding hard 'Whoa… déjà vu feeling'. Suddenly, some kind of lost memory came back to him. "Are we going to your house?" he asked

"No, we're going to a five star restaurant to have lunch together!" she beamed

At the restaurant, Sora was playing with his fork, making his food go in all sorts of places. Andrea looked at him in wonder "Sora, hun?" she asked "Are you okay? You haven't eaten a little bit,"

Subconsciously, Sora looked up "Huh?" he asked "Oh, I'm fine," She didn't believe him. "Well, you don't seem fine… Something wrong?"

"It's nothing,"

Suddenly, something wet made contact with his shirt. The brown haired boy looked down at his shirt and noticed that it was fruit salad. His eyes looked at the girl who was wiping the floor off with her apron. She had shoulder-length hair which was colored red and her skin was pale and was very close to being white. "So sorry, sir," She said repeatedly over and over again. She looked a lot like a certain girl he knew and he widened his eyes again "Kairi?!" he blurted

He had no idea who Kairi was but it felt like he said her name a lot of times already. She looked up and had different facial features from Kairi… whoever she was

"I am so sorry,". He smiled "It's okay," Sora replied "It was an accident,"

The blonde haired girl tapped the brunette's shoulder "Sora? Do you know Kairi?"

He looked at the sky as he placed a hand on his head "Uh… I don't think so,". She tilted her head "Cuz Kairi's our maid,"

Another lost memory came back to him as he looked down at his shirt again "Umm, I'll just go wash this off. Nam, do you know where the restroom is?". She looked around and pointed to a room "Over there,"

"Thanks,"

He went to the restroom and after he washed off the fruit salad from his clothing, he looked down at the sink and started splashing cold water into his face. "Okay, Sora," he said to himself "Pull it together! This is all just a bad dream,"

I think…

OoOoOoOoOoO

Sora was in Destiny High, his body covered in water as he went out of the swimming pool. He eyed the bleachers, thinking that he should for some reason and saw Kairi, Selphie and DJ.

"OMG! He's coming this way!" Selphie squealed as DJ started girlishly waving his hands "Oh my God! You are so right! Now we can become bestest best friends and all!" he said homosexually before rolling his eyes and lounging off on the bleachers again.

Sora looked at the red haired girl. She looked back. She thought some kind of connection was between them but nah… Maybe it wasn't true. He looked at her beautiful eyes and found out she was the one. She was Kairi. He wrapped his arms around her, wetting her uniform. He saw her again… for the first time.

She tried to push him away from her but he just gripped her tighter. He didn't want to let her go 'Kai… I missed you so much,'. She kept pushing him and he gave way "What's your problem?!" she shouted

"Huh? Kai? It's me! Sora!"

She snootily rose her nose "I don't know anyone named 'Sora'," she said "So just leave me alone! And my name's Kairi. Not 'Kai'."

"Kai—"

"Look… Whoever-you-are, I don't know you. So, would you do us both a favor and just back off, okay?"

Sora was still very confused. 'How could she not remember me?' The red haired girl and her friends walked away and DJ looked at her, still annoyed that he… hugged her. "Heh, that guy's seriously crazy,"

Kairi folded her arms and in the corner of her eye, she saw Sora, looking at her and bulged his lower lip a little. "Yeah, I think he has a… mental problem," 'Although he is kinda cute when he pouts like that…' she beamed as she continued to walk away.

Back with Sora, he looked at Naminé who just came by. She giggled softly "Hello, 'JJ'," He widened his eyes and gave her a stern glare "You're not Kitty," he said coldly and suddenly, a burst of wind blew against their faces, blowing away their hair.

Naminé crossed her arms "Yes I am!" she shouted as he rolled his eyes. "If you are, where's the other half of the paupou fruit I gave you, huh?" he asked, remembering that she didn't have it before.

Another burst of wind approached their faces as Naminé rummaged through her purse and pulled out the small yellow star-shaped fruit. "See! Here!"

Wait, she's not supposed to have that!!! Sora was still unconvinced "How about the song?"

She rolled her eyes and started singing it with perfect pitch and tone. Even the lyrics were perfect. 'She shouldn't know that!' Sora thought "Face it. I'm Kitty,"

He just shook his head in disagreement and walked away from her and in the locker room to change back to his uniform. As soon as he finished and grabbed his backpack, he looked at the watch… and the blond janitor again. "Sora, what are you doing?!" he asked fire burning in his yellow eyes "Because of your little chat with Naminé and hugging Kairi, you just changed the natural course of time!"

Sora just looked up in hope "Wait… I… can change time?" he asked rhetorically as Ansem just looked at him, wondering what he would say next "Then, that must mean, I can stop Kairi from dying?"

The blond man shook his head and angrily eyed him "Sora, if you do that, even worse things will come to you. That comes with dire consequences…'

"I don't care!" He shouted back "I'm gonna keep Kairi staying alive and you, or anyone else, can't stop me!" said a determined Sora as he started walking off

"Sora," Ansem said "Do this and you're going to pay for it dearly… What if Kairi dies an worse than before? What if something else happens? You don't want that to happen, do you?"

Sora looked down, thinking deeply of what he said but, still determined, he walked off, his watch wrapped around his wrist and it's evil shine started again.

As long Kairi's gonna live…

A/n: BWA-HA-HA! I am really bugging the characters now, am I? –Laughs like a mad scientist- YAY! Okay, besides the fact that this chap sucked and that (I think) I'm rushing, I bet this chappie was actually worth reading! Ooh! What's our little Sowwa-kun gonna do now? XD
