Chapter 3: Confrontation

Kairi's POV

I sighed when I saw him. Even after two years and the distance this room put between us I could tell it was him. Sure he changed, he was taller and he had a better build. But his deep blue eyes were still filled wish compassion. His hair was still brown and spiky like it always has been since we were little. Seeing him now broke my heart, I wish he didn't come here. That only makes me have to kill him faster. When I got have way across the room I heard him call my name. I closed my eyes and in a flash of light my keyblades were at my sides. I knew he saw the pain in my eyes when he looked at me. He looked sorry for me. Then in a flash of light he had his keyblade out as well.

"I wish you wouldn't have come." I told him.

"I came back fro you like I promised, I'm here to take you home." he told me.

"Sora...thank you...for trying." I whispered.

His eyes were wide with shock and then I quickly charged,but it was obvious that he'd been training over the years because he quickly blocked me and threw me back. I quickly did a back-flip and landed on my feet and looked at him.

"You've gotten really good at fighting, Kairi." he said impressed. I wish he wouldn't talk or looked at me like he still loved me. I wish he would have moved on, that would have made it easier for both of us.

I quickly jumped in the air and in a burst of light my outfit turned red and I was stronger. When I came down and hit Sora's keyblade, there was enough force to send him flying back. I watched as he fell back and skidded. He stabbed his keyblade into the floor and launched himself in the air. Once he was in the air he hurled his keyblade at me. I quickly blocked, which caused sparks to fly around me. When I looked up Sora had called a fire ball to himself and was hurling it at me. I quickly jumped back and was met with an attack from Sora. When we both struggled for control, I saw that deep down he didn't want to fight me, just like I didn't want to fight him.

I knew he was doing this to save me, but I knew there was no way he could save me from my living hell. This was the way it had to be, we both had to fight each other and one of us was going to die today. As the struggle continued I conjured lightning to the palm of my hand and slammed Sora in the chest. He grunted and flew back across the room. His body went limp and he skidded across the floor, electricity still coursing through his body.

"Kairi, your being too soft on him. If you really meant to kill him he would be dead now." A voice called to me. I looked up on the second floor belchony and saw Xehanort watching us. "Looks like I'm going to have to help you out." he smirked as he snapped his fingers, filling the room with heartless.

"You said you wouldn't get involved." I gasped as I looked around and saw we were surrounded.

"Only if you made well on your part." he laughed evilly.

I growled and then the room was filled with everyone I cared about. The first one I saw come out of hiding was Alice, she was already attacking the instant the heartless appeared. Bella and Edward were at the very end of the room where the exit was. Jacob was in his wolf form with an older Renesmee fighting by his side. Riku was on the other end near Alice, taking heartless out like they were nothing. Namine was in the corner with her sketch pad. It was glowing as she used her magic to draw how this scene will play out. Roxas was in front of her, protecting her from anything that might attack her. On the upper level I saw Aqua and Terra on opposite sides of the belchony taking out the heartless up there. And in the shadows of the belchony I saw Ven making his way toward Xehanort. They were serious about saving me.

"Sora, keep fighting her. We'll take care of the heartless." I heard Edward tell him as he helped him up.

Sora nodded and summoned his keyblade. He was heading my way and fast. I quickly made a barrier of water between us so he couldn't get to me. Unfortunately that only stopped him for a second. I watched in amazement as Sora turned the water to ice and broke his way through. I didn't have enough time to block and was sent flying back. I quickly did a backhand spring and charged at him. Our keyblades collided countless times, sending sparks in any direction possible.

The fight dragged on for what seemed like an eternity. It was hard to believe we could keep going like this. When I started conjuring ice, Sora knocked me off guard and sent me flying. I was about to kick off the wall when I heard Ven's voice.

"Faint." He told me, I could here his voice as if he were right next to me and I also saw his lips move. What I didn't understand is why no one else heard him. I did what Ven told me to and let my body slam into the wall. I closed my eyes as I fell towards the ground. My back and neck ached but it only a minor pain. When my body crashed into the ground I felt hard, cold hands lift me off the ground and carry me out of the room.

Once we were out I opened my eyes and saw Edward standing in front of me. "How are you?" he asked.

"I'm...okay, just a little sore." I admitted.

He nodded and started heading back in to fight, "You're free now." he told me

When he left I realized what he said was true. I didn't feel like my soul was bound here. I was truly free. I started laughing and tears started rolling down my cheeks. Sora kept his promise and saved me from my hell.
