OH.
MAH.
GAWD
I updated.

Well, I'm very anxious for writing the second part of this series, and it would be pointless to extend this story, so I'll end it right now. Enjoy, and for now I'm writing the start of the second one; that's where the REAL fun begins.
Chapter Eleven: Together At Last
It was the middle of the night. The stars shone brightly on the dark black night sky, and everyone was sleeping. But Sora was on the balcony, leaning on the rail, his eyes fixed upon the clear waters that washed up so quietly on the sand. He smiled softly, but then frowned. Kairi hadn't come by for a week or so; he was getting worries that some young man had captured her and taken her away.
His heart beat faster, and his blood boiled, his hands firmly grasping the rail in anger as he thought of the fact that someone could have taken his Kairi away.
His Kairi.
His love, his light in the darkness, the girl that he had always dreamed about, day and night, ever since he met her. Since then, her blue-violet eyes, her mere aura, her soft touch… she drove him crazy. And he loved her for it.
Sora sighed, closing his eyes. He'd give anything, ANYHTHING, to have her in his arms again. He would give up his title, his castle, anything at all, just to have even a moment with Kairi.
Sora.
Startled blue eyes opened and he looked around. Someone had just called his name, but it was too faint to hear who exactly was saying it.
He had to be dreaming, he supposed. Sora sighed, and resumed watching the waves, the ocean breeze sifting though his hair, like gentle fingers.
Sora saw a soft metallic glint in the water. He blinked his eyes, rubbing them, leaning over the balcony closer. What was that?
Sora jumped off the balcony, bare feet landing smoothly on the sand. He rushed to the shore, in the hopes of finding that metallic glint once again, the once he knew so well.
His toe met something soft. Sora looked down and saw, to his surprise- and horror- Kairi's mermaid tail.
He bent and softly touched the scales; they were cold, the lustre that Kairi's tail had gone, replaced only with a silver metal-like emptiness.
Kairi was gone.
Sora closed his eyes, tears falling from his eyes. He grasped the tail, and hugged it tight.
"Kairi," he sobbed. "Don't tell me you're gone…"
Sora.
It was the voice again, and now it was clearer. He looked around, the tear tracks still on his cheeks. The sea breeze was cold, but he didn't care.
Sora.
She was here. She just had to be.
Sora then say a form from the water, pulling itself up on the little dock where the two would always talk in the afternoons. Sora squinted, and then widened his eyes as his heart beat faster.
The form stood, and suddenly rays of silver circled the figure. It started at the head, then gave it a blue-ish dress, and disappeared completely at the feet.
The dress had its own light; Sora clearly saw that it was facing the sea.
When it turned to him Sora widened his eyes, and his heart beat quicker.
"Kairi!"
Kairi smiled in surprise, and she ran up the dock as fast as she could to Sora. Sora, in turn, ran, until he could feel his arms embrace her body, and her lips on his.
They hugged tightly, Sora crying.
"I though someone took you. I saw your tail, in the water…"
Kairi looked at Sora, smiling softly.
"No, silly. I'm right here. And I wan to be with you forever, Sora."
Sora smiled. "So do I," he said, softly. "Be my princess?"
Kairi kissed him passionately on the lips, feeling his hand behind her head and his arms massaging her back.
They broke apart, and Kairi's lips, inches away from Sora's, gave him the answer.
"Forever and ever."
Sora smiled, kissing her quickly, then carrying her off, bridal-style, to the castle.
She knew that evening that she had tearfully left her world… and happily embraced Sora's.
FINIS
