I do not own anything from Kingdom Hearts...

Chapter four

"Ahahaha…" Sora laughed anxiously while his hands were behind his head. "I lost the key..."

Riku slapped his forehead. Stupid Sora. "Can't you use the keyblade to open the door?"

"It's too big…"

"No, I mean, can't you just zap something from the keyblade and the door will open?" Kairi's head shot up with hope. She didn't like standing outside of the door and it felt as if someone was watching her.

"It doesn't work like that…" Down went Kairi's head in disappointment.

"What's a keyblade?"

Everybody turned their heads towards Selphie. She looked confused and Riku slapped his forehead again. He forgot Selphie was with them.

"It's a key." Riku replied.

"Then why is it called a keyblade and not just key?" She asked again.

"It doesn't matter. It's just a normal key."

"Then why did you say that something will zap out of it and the door will open?"

Riku was annoyed now. "I'm using my imagination."

She fired questions at him and he answered them back. It finally stopped when Tidus and Wakka ran past but suddenly stopped.

"Whoa! Check out Rapunzel and Sonic!!" Wakka pointed.

Tidus whistled loud enough for the whole world to hear. "Looking good Rapunzel."

Selphie *slowly* ran towards them and hit Tidus on the head. "That's Riku and Sora! They are back!"

Wakka walked around Riku and Sora. Surely that wasn't Riku, was it? His hair is too long. But he did look like Riku. "Hey man, welcome back!"

"I WHISTLED AT RIKU! YUCK!" Tidus pretended to puke as Riku glared at him. "Uh…Welcome Back!" He looked over at Sora and Kairi. He had a cocky grin. "Wow, lovebirds already?"

Kairi hid her face in her hands. She was blushing really red and it was so embarassing! Not once has she ever been called 'lovebirds'.

"And Selphie. Tsk tsk tsk." Tidus wagged his finger.

"What? What did I do?" She whined. Everybody hated getting picked on by Tidus.

"Wagging school. Tsk. There goes your perfect record little miss goody goody."

"Ohmygod! What time is it now????"

"It's almost first period. Hurry up!" Wakka told her.

"Um, um, uh, um… WE NEED TO GO NOW! Sorry Kairi! I really want to make it to Public Speaking, bye!" Selphie zoomed off with Tidus and Wakka.

"That reminds me," Sora rested his chin on his hand. "We haven't gone to school in like, 5 years! Riku, we are so dumb!"

"Not me. I learned from the king." Riku said proudly.

"What?! No way!"

"Yes way. You hang around Goofy too much."

"Goofy isn't stupid or anything…" Sora mumbled.

"But he is goofy." Riku finished his sentence. "He can't even drive a gummi ship properly. Everytime we crashed into a damn meteor whenever he's the pilot."

Kairi wondered what to say. She knew Sora was a bit upset about what Riku said but it was true. "Hey now, don't be like that. Why don't we go to the beach?"

"Yeah…" Sora retorted and Riku nodded.

The beach was empty but it was still beautiful. The ocean was a pure and the beach was golden. There was no litter, pollution or any graffiti so that made it even more special.

Sora was still upset when they got there but Kairi had an idea how to cheer him up.

"Hey Sora, let's go to the secret spot! I'll beat you there!" Kairi sang cheerfully as she headed towards the secret spot.

Sora followed slowly but got stopped when Riku shoved something in his hand. It was a Paopu fruit. Sora looked confused.

"Ehh?! You want to share the Paopu fruit with me? I'm sorry, Riku. I'm not into guys you know that, I like Kairi." Sora told him with his hands in front of him.

"STUPID SORA! SHARE IT WITH KAIRI!" Riku growled at him.

"Oh oh…OH!" Sora replied.

"Now you get it. Sheesh! Look, sorry about what I said before about Goofy."

"It's fine, don't worry. But…but what do I say to her? She's waiting for me and wow! This is too soon…"

"Just follow my instructions: Go inside the secret spot and talk for a while. Talk about the drawing you two drew about sharing a Paopu fruit and-"Riku instructed.

"Wait a minute! How did you know about that drawing?" Sora asked as he was blushing.

"Uhh … who cares…? Anyway, tell her this: Ever since I drew that I was feeding you with the Paopu fruit, I always wanted to do it for real. So let's share this Paopu Fruit! And then you hold up the Paopu fruit and you both bite at the same time on the same piece of fruit. Ok, remember all of that?" Sora shook his head. "I knew it, so I wrote it down on a piece of paper." Riku handed the paper to Sora.

"Hey Riku, do you like Kairi?" Sora asked.

Riku, who was blushing (which is quite scary because he never blushes), shook his head and ran off. Sora sighed and he went towards the secret place. I can't read this, this is Riku words not mine, he thought as he put the Paopu fruit inside his pocket.

He walked into the secret spot and saw Kairi. She was smiling like an angel that came down from the heavens. Wow, Kairi is so beautiful today, Sora thought. What have I've been missing for the last few years? Kairi was beckoning him to follow her and he did. He held her soft small hand as they went deeper into the cave together.

"Hey Sora," Kairi started. "Remember this drawing we did as kids?"

Sora nodded. "I had horrible drawing skills…"

"No you didn't, you drew really nice. I think it looks cute."

Now is your chance, go on Sora, tell her about the Paopu fruit, his brain was telling him. He took a deep breath and took out the Paopu fruit. He wasn't going to read Riku's little speech, he was going to tell her from his heart.

"Kairi, you know how in that drawing we are sharing a Paopu fruit?" She nodded. "I…I think we should eat one for real, I really want to try it and I think…no wait, YOU are the one I'm destined to be with. So what do you say?"

Sora looked at her hopefully as he felt her going closer and closer towards him, with the Paopu fruit in the middle of them. They both opened their mouths as they were about to take a small bite but suddenly, a dart went flying into the Paopu fruit and made them jump back. Sora summoned his keyblade as he shielded Kairi. Something came out of the shadow.

The guy had long blonde hair and golden eyes. He was pure evil as he licked his lips. Something is familiar about him, Sora thought. Suddenly the guy laughed.

"Ah, young Keyblade Master, you finally found me," He started. "Please step aside and let me eat my dinner for I am very hungry."

"What dinner? There's no food around here unless you mean the Paopu fruit," Sora retorted. He felt Kairi cling on to his back. Something was wrong.

"The young lady over there. She is mmm… I can smell her now. She'll taste good with a bit of mint and rosemary…" The guy fantasized.

"You don't mean Kairi do you? No one lays a hand on her except for me, you got that?" Sora warned.

"Ahaha, well you're too late now. I layed a lot of hands on her last night for ruining my dinner. Now she must pay by letting me eat her." The guy sneered.

Riku came running in. "Have you shared the Paopu fruit yet?! Oh shit… He is still here running around…"

"Who is?" asked Kairi in a small voice.

"His name is Teru-kun. He was part of the group that ate people and me and Sora had to go and kill them off…the sole survivor."

"Ah, the other Keyblade Master, in this case I'll kill two birds with one stone," Teru said as he summoned his weapons, darts.

Sora hid Kairi behind a rock as he and Riku made the first move. They ran to Teru in different direction as they dodged the darts. Darts were flying everywhere and in different sizes too. Sora swung the keyblade across Teru's feet but he jumped and tried to stab Sora. Riku knocked the dart out of the way and strike a blow to Teru's jaw. Then Riku and Sora's keyblade touched each other and a light beamed out of both keyblades. It made the keyblade masters both stronger and they continued to dodge darts and attacking Teru.

Teru suddenly ran behind Sora and stabbed him with a dart in his right leg. He screamed out in pain as more and more darts came through his leg. Riku tried to kill off his opponent but his leg got injured too. Finally, when both keyblade masters were too weak to move, Teru walked towards Kairi hiding spot. He summoned a great cooking knife and sliced the rock in half, revealing a wide eyed Kairi. She screamed as Teru held the knife against her throat.

I don't want to die yet, she cried in her mind. Tears fell out of eyes as she looked at her killer one last time. As Teru was about to finish her off, a light flashed and a keyblade was stuck in his back. Blood came rushing out as a darkness hole swallowed him up. Kairi looked to see whose keyblade was in his back and saw Sora panting heavily. She rushed to his aid and let him lie down while she got a first aid kit. Riku was also lying down when she got back. She called the ambulance first and then treated them both.

As she waited, Sora's head rested on her lap while she sang soft song. Sora tried to sit up to look at Kairi but couldn't so he had to say something to her lying down.

Sora struggled. "Kairi, we-"

"Shh…don't talk…" Kairi shushed.

"No, listen to me. We don't need to share a Paopu fruit, we already are destined for each other…Well all I'm saying is that no matter what happens in the future, I will still love you. I love you, Kairi." He said with a goofy smile.

"I love you too..." She replied as she kissed him softly.

The ambulance came and took Sora and Riku to hospital. Their wound wasn't too bad but they had to stay on crutches for 8 weeks.

It turned out that Teru was Larxene's brother and their family had to go to court.

Kairi's mom funeral was held 3 weeks later and nearly everybody attended. Kairi's mom was a really popular sales woman. Their house was demolished and is still rebuilding. But Kairi doesn't mind anymore because she is staying with her lovely boyfriend, Sora. She let out a big sigh of relief; no more troubles.
