Last Time:

Rai took her home and explained the situation to her mother as Kairi locked herself in her room. 'Sora, I'm so sorry, he took you. ANSEM TOOK YOU! ...and I did nothing to stop him… I'm such a coward...'

This Time:

Reminiscing - Part One

Two Weeks Ago - Destiny Islands - Beach; 7:00 P.M

Chestnut hair flew around, obeying the winds commands, back and forth. A strong scent of salt clung the air whisked by the boy who was in deep thought. He looked at what was showing of his bandaged arm and then at his hand which was also wrapped up. He shut his eyes and clenched the healing hand. 'I-I can't believe they're back...I almost made it! I almost beat them! I was so close… So close to defeating Organization XIII! I jus- If only I ha-'

"Sora! Over here, Sora!" Sora's thoughts were disrupted by the voice.

"Huh? Oh, hey Kairi! How's the planning goin'?" Sora took a deep gulp, he could swear that Kairi's hair was levitating and her eyes were glowing yellow. "I-I'm guessing not so good, huh?"

"DON'T even mention the word 'planning'! I'm up to my neck in paper trying to sort out every thing!" The fifteen year old fell on her knees to the sand. "I didn't know all this stuff would be so difficult...get down here I'm trying to talk to you Sora!" Her hand found it's way to his shirt and she dragged him down to her level. She couldn't help but giggle at his 'plea for help'. Sora glared at her and opened his mouth but before he could speak Kairi beat him to the punch. "And don't even THINK about saying 'Oh well Kairi you're the one who wanted to start your sweet sixteen even though you JUST turned fifteen last month.' I like to plan ahead is that so bad!" 'She...really creeps me out sometimes...' Sora thought as he scooted away from his seemly bipolar friend jst a tad. "Soooo, what's a little defenseless boy like you doing out here in the beach? Unless your with a big, strong woman like me, it could be very dangerous out here!" Kairi tried her best to make herself seem 'muscular'.

Sora pitched up his voice as much as he could and held onto Kairi's pink jacket. "I dunno lady, you look pretty defe- denfe um, weak. Can you really protect me while I find my mommy?" Both stared at each other and soon erupted of laughter.

"Got sumthin on your mind?" The two stared at the sea, not bothering to face another.

"No, well yea... Kairi? Didja even feel like you could changed something that happened if only you'd done one tiny fix while it was happening?" Sora grabbed a handful of sand, only to have it slip off his hands, grain by grain like an hour glass.

Silence loomed over the conversation until finally Kairi's lips parted from each other. "Is this about the battle with Ansem? With Organization XIII?" Swiftly she stood up, turning her back against the sun laying horizontally on the ocean water.

"Yu...yeah. I should, I wish I could give up the powers as the Keyblade master… I just, If I hadn't bfecome involved with the stupid thing, he would still be here! If I didn't have this job, if he hadn't h-"

"Sora!" Kairi grabbed he's jacket and pulled Sora's body up and close to her, so close their noses were about five centimeters away, he snapped his eyes shut and turn away from Kairi's face. Slowly, tears started streaming down his face at the thought of the red headed nobody. "Axel gave his life to help get rid of the organization! The organization that was trying to use you, the organization that was trying to hurt you! The organization that was trying to kill you..." Kairi resealed the black and sliver jacket, making the owner collapsed against the sand. "He wanted to give his life away, because as long as he knew you both Sora and Roxas were okay, and that you could destroy the orginization that made him feel...empty, the orginization that made him turn people into the very thing he dispised...the very thing he was!" Kairi went to the borderline of the beach and the town. "If you want to run away from your path, go ahead, be a coward... your friends will pick up for you. But I advise you... choose the destiny that cowers... and the nobodies will find you only this time... they'll succeed in their plans." With her last words said, Kairi left the scattered Sora in the sand, and headed towards her home.

That Night -

Kairi tossed at turned in her bed, beads of sweat began forming around her face.

Kairi's Dream

Fear consumed Kairi as her friend's body was lifted into the air momentarily; the expression on his face was unclear. She squinted her eyes to see his face and gasped at the sight

His expression was…nothing! The Sora she wasn't there, not a single spark of emotion was held in the captivating sea blue eyes she loved. Only a tint of purple was available in the beholder's eyes as his face was clearly targeting the almost holy pink heart, one which was sought out by many, many villains. Just as he was in the peak of air, the body crash right through the sparkling sea water. She ran to the site and jumped inside the water.

Anger suddenly rushed threw her body as a hooded figure appeared before her, standing on the water! The fury only seemed to grow as he reavaled his self as Ansem! Fear came back as Ansem scooped Sora and jarred his heart. Black smoke snatched the two away from her reach.

Kairi jumped up and felt her body drenched, her eyes widened in fear that the dream had come true. She looked around and saw the interior designs of her room and relaxed. She quickly went back to sleep with one last thought in her head. 'Thank goodness...just a dream...'

Oh, if only she knew how wrong she was...

One Week, Four Days Ago

"OLETTE! PENCE! HAYNER!" Kairi waved her hand as far as she could in the air.

"Hey Kairi! Um, do you know by any chance what's up with Sora? He been all..." Olette slumped her head down, brought her arms up and started wiggling her fingers. "Right?"

Kairi paused for a minute. Her fist was brought to her mouth in concentration. 'Could he STILL be mopping over our talk?' "Hm, oh no! He's just um being silly is all!" She waved off her friend reassuringly. Olette stared at her companion strangely before scrunching up her nose.

"Okay...if your sure. Anyway wanna help painting the new shack? We're gonna design just like the Usual Spot!... Except with the currency exchange we'll be able to buy a TV for it!"

"Eh, um alright! I'll meet you there kay? I just gotta go fix my thing...

At the place, with the um, stuff so I will uh... See ya later!" Kairi ran off before Olette could respond.

"Er, OKAY THEN!" Olette scream just enough so ring threw Kairi's ears. She whistled as she turned around with one foot in the air and her hands in her pockets. "It's about time Kairi!" Olette murmured before leaving.

"Sora...Sooorra?" The princess popped her head from the door, searching for the young hero. "S-Sora!" She found him laying against the wall, under the ledge lifeless...

As fast as she could, Kairi ran to Sora's body, a pool of blood formed down his back Glancing up at a bit of blood that clung onto the tip of the ledge, thoughts began to form in the head of Kairi "Sora! What happned? Wake up!" Sora was shooken until small moans begun to leave his mouth.

"K-KairI! WATCH OUT!" Sora jumped up and pushed her to the ground. "HE'S GONNA!... Wah... where is he?" Kairi lifted herself up and felt her heart shake at the panic and disconfort that besmirched the usual calm and happiness that granced his face.

"When I found you, you were knocked out." She aided to his back and lead him out of his house and into hers. Sora looked around cautiously until waves of exgaustion hit, before going to sleep Sora muttered something that froze Kairi in shock.

"Where is he?...Where's...Ansem?"
