Okay, about this chapter, this idea has been stuck in my head for a while. At first, I wasn't going to do it, but figured why not. I know most of you want to see Kairi again. Hope you enjoy it.

Sora couldn't sleep at all, that night. Thoughts of what might happen tomorrow kept entering his head. He doesn't know why, but he's sort of worried. Images of back when he, Mooneye, and Jenna were still inside the Ice Castile – right after Balto disappeared into darkness for a short while – wouldn't leave his head. Sora and Mooneye had attempted to stop Lavendra and her two subordinates from entering the portal to Kingdom Wolves. But Lavendra just simply pushed Sora and Mooneye out of their way – without even breaking a sweat. If it weren't for Mooneye somehow closing the portal, Lavendra could've simply walked in.

Sora was worried now. Though he really doesn't worry about anything, he couldn't help it on this one. If Lavendra could just push Sora away with just one hand, how could he, Balto, and Mooneye expect to defeat her when the time comes? Sora stares at the old wooden ceiling of the Old Mill. Mooneye was in the old mill as well – vast asleep in his wolf form. Balto and Jenna were in a shed behind Rosy's house, wanting to be alone before Balto is to join Sora and Mooneye on their final quest together. And the rest of the dogs were back at their homes.

Sora gets up and grabs Kairi's good luck charm out from his pocket.

"Kairi…" He said in a low voice. "I'm in trouble. I don't know if I can defeat Lavendra. She is far too powerful – even for me, Balto, and Mooneye combined. But I know we have to try – for the sake of all the worlds out there. I also made a promise to everyone that we'll defeat Lavendra, close Kingdom Wolves, and we all come back in one piece. So, Kairi… Please show yourself to me. I need you. Now…more than ever…"

After saying that, Sora puts the good luck charm back in his pocket and waits to see Kiara again. He waits for five minuets, but Kairi never showed up. Sora sighs.

"So much for that…" He said in a low voice.

Just then, the door blew open, startling Sora. He thought it was the Heartless.

"Who's there?" Sora exclaimed, bringing out his Keyblade. "Show yourself!"

"Sora…"

Sora lowers his Keyblade. He recognized that voice anywhere.

"Kairi…?"

"Yes, Sora – it's me."

"Where are you?" Sora asked, looking around the old mill.

"I'm in the deep part of the forest. Please come. There's something I want to tell you there."

Without hesitation, Sora walks out from the Old Mill and went his way into the forest. For ten minuets, Sora was walking deeper into the woods. He couldn't see Nome anymore.

"Where are you, Kairi?" Sora called out.

"I'm right behind you, Sora."

Sora turns around. There she was – Kairi. The same way Sora had remembered her.

"Kairi!"

"Sora!"

They both ran towards eachother and hugged.

"I missed you, Sora." Kairi said, releasing Sora.

"Me too, Kairi." Sora said. "What are we doing here?"

"I heard you saying to me that you need help." Kairi replied. "So…I'm here to help you."

"Really? What can you do?" Sora asked. "And why couldn't we do it back in Nome?"

Kairi giggled.

"Sorry, Sora, but it has to be done here." She said.

"Why?" Sora asked.

"You'll see." Kairi said. "Do you still have my lucky charm?"

"Of course I do." Sora said, bringing it out from his pocket. "I promise I'll hold on to it till I get back home, didn't I?"

Kairi giggled again.

"That's right." She said. "Please, Sora, grab my hands. I want to dance."

"Dance?" Sora asked surprised.

"That's right – dance." Kairi said. "This is going to be my way of helping you. I'm going to sing as we dance. Later on, I want you to sing with me, okay Sora?"

"Uh…I guess." Sora replied.

He didn't know how this was gonna help him, but Sora did what he was told. He placed one hand into Kairi's and placed the other on Kairi's side. (A/N: I'm not a dancer. So don't get mad if I messed up where hands are supposed to be placed.)

Sora and Kairi started dancing.

"Please, Sora – listen carefully to what I have to say." Kairi said.

"Okay." Sora replied.

Soon a soft wind started blowing. Later, Sora could've sworn he's hearing a piano playing a beautiful tune. Then he looks at Kairi, who was smiling at him as she began to sing:

Deep in the night the winds blow cold

And in a heartbeat the fear takes hold

Deep in the storm there's a place that's soft and still

Where the road waits to be taken if you only will

The voices inside you can lead your soul astray

Believe in what you dream

Don't turn away! Don't you turn away!

Sora could hear the mysterious music getting louder as Kairi sang:

Reach for the Light! You might touch the sky!

Stand on a mountaintop, and see yourself flying

Reach for the Light! To capture a star!

Come out of the darkness, and find out who you are…

Sora was puzzled by all of this.

"Uh…Kairi – I know who I am. I'm Sora. I'm also the chosen wielder of the Keyblade. What I don't know is how to defeat Lavendra – I mean what if I can't do it. She's far too powerful. What if I fail? What would happen then? What would -"

Kairi puts her index finger against Sora's lips. Sora stood silent. Kairi then continues singing:

Somewhere in time the truth shines through

And the spirit knows what it has to do

Somewhere in you there's a power with no name

It could rise to meet the moment and burn like a flame

And you can be stronger than any fear you know

Hold on to what you see

Don't let it go! Don't you let it go!

The mysterious music got louder again.

Reach for the Light! You might touch the sky!

Stand on a mountaintop, and see yourself flying

Reach for the Light! To capture a star!

Come out of the darkness! And find out who you are!

There's no turning back when your destiny is calling

Listen to the thunder, and let your heart break free!

Kairi's song was slowly going into Sora's head. He was starting to realize what she means. Then it finally hit him.

"Of course!" Sora said. "Why didn't I think of this before? Lavendra may be powerful, but so am I. My power comes from my heart. And there's also a power in me that I don't know yet. But when the time is right, it'll come out. Yes, I get it now. My heart is power, and so are my friends. My power is my light. My heart will break free and release that power and my light."

"That's right, Sora." Kairi said. "You're getting it now."

"And with my friends, Balto and Mooneye, we'll use that power to stop Lavendra once and for all, and close Kingdom Wolves." Sora said. "Thank you, Kairi. You've really helped me on this one. I couldn't have done it without you."

Once again, Kairi puts her index finger against Sora's lips, meaning for him to be silent. After putting her hand down, Kairi slowly went to Sora and kissed his lips. It was the most wonderful thing Sora has ever felt.

"I'm really glad that I can help, Sora." Kairi said, after they've kissed. "Now, let us dance and Sora – please sing with me."

"Okay." Sora replied.

The wind was blowing again, causing the trees to move. Then somehow, the trees were singing along – with voices like little children.

Kairi & Sora: "Reach for the Light!"

Trees: Reach for the Light! You might touch the sky!

Sora & Kairi: "Stand on a mountaintop!"

Trees: Stand on the mountaintop, and see yourself flying!

Sora & Kairi: "See yourself flying!"

Trees: Reach for the Light! To capture a star!

Sora, Kairi, & the Trees: "Come out of the darkness, and find out who you are!"

Sora closed his eyes for a second. When he opened them, Sora was surprised. He was flying. Nothing but the night's sky could be seen for Sora. He could still hear Kairi singing to him. It felt like he was free. Just then, Sora sees a little shooting star. He went straight towards it. Something told him to catch it. Sora was getting close to the shooting star. It was the size as his hand – so Sora wouldn't have a problem grabbing on to it. When he finally gabbed on to the star, Sora saw it flashing a very bright light – which he had to close his eyes. When Sora opens his eyes, he was now touching a massive rock – a very familiar one. Sora looks at his new surroundings. He couldn't believe it. He was back in the Secret Cave in Destiny Islands.

Sora then looks back at the rock. He was touching the drawing that he and Kairi made when they were young. Sora saw the drawing of the Pow-Pu fruit he made for Kairi – a few hours before the Islands were taken over by Heartless. Sora then noticed something different about the drawing. He let goes of the rock and gasped. Another Pow-Pu fruit was put into the drawing – made for Sora. Sora was speechless. Kairi had made the drawing for him. It is said that if two people share a Pow-Pu fruit, they remain in eachother's lives – no matter what.

Sora then turns around from the drawing. Kairi was standing behind him. Sora tries to say something, but he couldn't. He was lost for words. Kairi just giggles and nodded.

"Yes, Sora – I drew that for you." She said.

"I…I don't what to say." Sora finally said.

Kairi went to Sora and grabs his hand.

"Then don't, Sora." She said. "Just…come out from the darkness, and find out who you are."

Kairi pointed towards the cave's exit. Sora gave Kairi one last look, and walked towards it.

"Just… Just reach the light…Sora." Kairi said, before she disappeared.

Sora opened his eyes. At first all he could see was fuzzy objects. Soon, his vision went clear. He was staring at the old wooden ceiling again. He was back in Nome. Sora gets up. Bright light from the sun could be seen through the window. Dawn was finally here.

Sora rubs his eyes.

"It was…just a dream." Sora said. "Or was it?"

He brings out the lucky charm from his pocket and stares at it.

"Well…dream or not, I know who I am. I'm Sora – the chosen wielder of the Keyblade. My goal is to search for my best friend, Riku. And help those who are in trouble – with the help of my friends. They're my power. My light. Balto, Mooneye, Kavik, Donald, Goofy, Riku, Kairi – all of them are in my heart. They give me strength and power. With Balto and Mooneye with me – and the others in my heart, cheering me on – I'll stop Lavendra and close Kingdom Wolves."

Mooneye had woken up with a big yawn. He looks at Sora.

"Are you ready, Sora?" He asked.

"Yeah," Sora replied. "Let's go get Balto and finally finish this."

Mooneye nodded and went to go get Balto. Sora looks back at the good luck charm once last time.

Once this is all over, Kairi, He thought. I'll continue to search for Riku, and we'll both return home. Until then, just hold on, Kairi. We'll be back soon. I promise. And, once again, thank you.

End of chapter. The lyrics that Kairi sang were from the song: "Reach for the Light" by Steve Winwood - that was played in the end credits of Balto. Remember, it was this song that gave me the idea for this story. In the next chapter, Sora becomes a wolf again. Please review.
