Chapter 1: Two Years Ago Today

Sora's POV

I sighed as Emmet mindlessly flipped through channels to find something to watch –not like he was going to watch it anyway- this was just part of the routine everyone fell into a while back. "Alice, are you sure you can't see her?" I asked frustrated.

"No Sora, for the last time. I told you that I feel out of sync with her a long time ago." Alice snapped at me. "I can't see her little decisions, but if she was in trouble I would know." She reassured.

I just nodded and fell back in my seat and closed my eyes. I allowed my mind to slip and see what Edward was thinking. It was strange to be the only one in the house knowing what he was thinking, a lot of it was…depressing. Jacob used to always laugh at my ability to read his mind and would always say, "How does it feel having someone else getting in your head?"

As I let myself slip deeper into Edwards mind, it turned out Alice did have a brief vision of Kairi a few days ago, she was planning something but there wasn't much there to tell me what it was. After a few minutes of mindlessly wandering through his mind I pulled myself back to reality. Nobody out here was doing anything exciting so I decided to go see what everyone else was doing.

"Hey Uncle Sora," Renesmee called out to me from the top of the stairs as I started to go up them. Renesmee has grown up a lot in the past two years. When I first met her she looked like a five year old, now she looks like she's fifteen.

"Hey Renesmee, how are you?" I quickly said when I reached the top of the stairs and started looking down.

"I'm good, if your looking for your keyblade master friends, their in the meeting room at the end of the hall. They were just sending me to come get you." She laughed as she took the stairs two at a time.

I followed her instructions and went to the room at the end of the hall. Sure enough, Ven, Aqua, Terra, Roxas, Riku, and Namine were in there planning something. When I came in, Ven looked at me and a half second later he was standing next to me.

"You're just in time." He said as he started pushing me over to join the group. Over the years, Ven's creepy red eyes faded into a warm golden color that was less intimidating.

Namine looked up at me and smiled a little. She was having the hardest time coping with Kairi's disappearance than the rest of us. She's apart of Kairi and can feel her emotions, so at least she knew if Kairi was in any trouble. "Were gonna bring her back." She said.

I didn't need her to tell me who she was. My jaw fell open as I tried to figure out how we were going to do that. I spent the last two years trying to beat something into my head.

Roxas nodded in agreement with her, "Ven knows a way we can free her."

"I'm surprised none of us thought of it sooner." Aqua said shaking her head.

"Aqua, Ven, and I should have figured it out when it happened." Terra added.

"So what are you going to do?" I asked totally confused.

"Why don't you tell him Ven?" Aqua suggested smiling at him sweetly. (I think there's something going on between them.)

"Well Kairi's in a contract for life right?" Ven asked me. I just nodded my head and he continued, "Well, there are ways of getting out of it. If Kairi fails at what he tells her, or in other words if she proves herself useless she's free to go."

"That's it?" I asked stunned, if that was it Kairi could have fallen down the stairs when she signed her life away.

"It's not that easy, you have to seem weak. You have to loose." Terra corrected.

"But it's what Namine told us that made us think of it." Aqua said.

Namine blushed and looked down, "Well I can't say for sure, but with my feelings and Alice's visions we were able to tell what Kairi was going to do next."

"That's not what you told us." Riku said, "Don't candy cote it for him."

Namine took a deep breath and looked at me, "She's been given orders to kill us." My eyes opened up wide and then I looked at everyone.

Aqua just smiled back at me unconcerned by Namine's words. "Sora, how long has it been since Kairi left?" she asked.

I thought about it for a second, wrapping my arms around my chest and tilting my head to the side to think, "Two years ago…today…?"

Ven nodded and turned to Riku, "When's Kairi's birthday?" Riku asked.

I thought about that and said, "If I remember correctly it's…tomorrow right?"

Everyone nodded at me, "We're all going to pay her a little visit tomorrow." Roxas smiled.

"Huh?" I asked confused.

"She was told to kill us on her birthday, so why not go see her first?" Roxas smiled.

I looked at everyone confused and they all laughed. "All right everyone, lets get some sleep. We're going to need our strength tomorrow." Terra told us.

That night when I tried to fall asleep, all I could think about was Kairi. How different was she now? Does she ever think about us? Would she really kill us? Will she remember us? Is she willing to come back with us? All those questions played over and over again that night as I slept.
