Chapter 2: The Day

I woke up earlier than anyone else. It was hard to sit still knowing that soon I might be reunited with Kairi. I paced around my room for twenty minutes before I got bored and needed something else to do. I decided I would go talk to Ven, after all he is my brother.

As I raised my hand to knock, a voice on the other side beat me to it. "It's open." Ven said loud enough for me to hear. When I walked in, he was quickly going over some notes and the plan for tomorrow. "Hey Sora, what's up?" he asked as he quickly looked up and went back to his work.

"Umm...nothing really. Could you go over the plan with me?" I asked.

He looked up at me for a quick second and said, "Sure, chances are your probably not going back to sleep anyway."

"Yeah, I'm not even tired." I told him as he gathered his notes and got closer to me so he could go over them.

"Good, cause we're leaving in a few hours." he nodded as he opened the binder labeled "plan".

"Nice name for your binder holding all your plans." I pointed out arching my eyebrow.

"Thanks, so what do you want to know about the plan." he asked picking up his pen.

"Well...everything, who's all going with, what we're doing, stuff like that."

"Okay, so let's get the easy stuff out of the way. So you want to know who's coming along. So far out of the Cullens, Alice has agreed to come along because she can see the future. Edward wanted to come along because he can read minds and tell us what Kairi's planning or if anyone is planing on jumping in. Obviously Bella would come Along because Edward was going. Jacob's coming for personal reasons. His exact words were 'I want to feel the rush of fighting.' and since Jacob's coming I couldn't talk Renesmee out of it. Rosalie, Emmett decided to stand outside and be guards if anyone were to try and escape. Esme and Jasper are staying here to guard the house. As for the other people, Namine was the first one who said she wanted to go. She convinced me she could manipulate people if it came down to it. Riku is coming along obviously. Aqua and Terra came along for support, but honestly I think Aqua just wants her back. Roxas is coming along, he never gave me a reason why, but I'm glad he's helping. Xion and Zack called me a few hours ago saying they were going to join as well."

"Xion and Zack?" I asked. I was surprised they were going to help us. We here from them from time to time but we don't have a strong connection with them, but I guess since Kairi freed them a couple years back they'd like to repay the favor.

"Yeah that one surprised me a bit too." Ven smiled. "So anyway the plan is we're going to infiltrate the castle in Radiant Garden where they're staying. If Alice's Visions are correct Kairi should meet us in the ball room, which is the largest room in the castle. At that time, Sora, your going to confront her and we'll all be hiding in the shadow's waiting to strike. Now I have a feeling Xehanort is going to try and intervene, so I'm going to take him out. All you have to do is fight Kairi, if things get to rough or if more trouble comes into play, that's when everyone else is going to jump in. Think you can handle it?"

"Yeah, I can do it." I smiled at him. I was surprised that I would have to fight Kairi, but if things work out as planned, I'll bring her back with me.

"Sounds like it's about time to go." Ven smiled, "Everyone's finishing breakfast."

"I didn't hear anyone get up." I said surprised.

"The house is full of ninjas." Ven laughed.

When everyone finished eating we all got on the gummi ship and went to Radiant Garden. The trip was a lot faster than I expected. It was a good and bad thing all at the same time.

"Okay everyone, here's where we split up." Ven said. In that time I just blinked my eyes and they were gone.

It was up to me now, I Quickly ran to the castle gates and ran inside. I followed the path on the map Ven had given me and it led me straight to the ball room. In the distance I saw a girl walking towards me. She had Waist long Red hair and deep blue eyes. Her white shirt cut off just under her breasts to expose her well toned stomach. The shirt had light blue fabric hanging off the sides. Her skirt came down just below her thighs and it was also light blue. On her feet her knee high black combat boots. Even though her looks have changed over the years I knew exactly who I was looking at.

"Kairi." I called out to her. As she saw who I was her eyes filled with sorrow as she called two keyblades to her sides.
