This fanfiction assumes the upcoming Dream Drop Distance game events (whatever they are, but i'm excited for it :D) do not happen for awhile. Now then, this fanfiction is directly after the end of KHII, so Sora and Kairi are reunited. But as they soon find out, life will be completely different, since they have Nobody personalities inside them. They may have merged and become whole, but that doesn't mean they're unable to talk to their original selves.)

And since Roxas and Namine can feel emotions, being special Nobodies, they're well aware of Sora and Kairi's feelings... and so may have a little fun along the way.

Sora and Kairi continued to stare at each other, even as their lips pulled apart slowly to breathe. As soon as they heard their own breathing, they blinked and jumped apart, their faces slowly turning red.

Kairi stood there, her face as red as her hair, staring at him with her mouth slightly open. As she stood there, the fingers of her right hand slowly touched her lips. But she never looked away from him.

Sora also stood there, his face red, his eyes wide. He wasn't entirely sure what to do as the seconds passed though. But he didn't look away either.

The door opened, Riku stepping in. "Hey guys, what do you think-" he said, slowing to a halt as he saw his two friends standing completely still, their faces as red as Kairi's hair. He raised an eyebrow as he looked between them slowly, then he looked to his right when he saw Roxas and Namine appear beside him.

He didn't have to say anything. Roxas simply grinned, while Namine winked with a sweet smile.

His eyebrow raised further, then he looked back at his two friends.

Then he simply turned and left.

Back with Sora and Kairi, the seconds passed between them, neither sure what to say. Then, the silence was broken.

"Sora?" he heard, making him sorta flinch, because it had broken the silence. "Yeah... Kairi?" he said, blinking at her, his face still red.

She slowly smiled at him, her fingers still on her lips, and her face still red. "The day when we were separated, I went to the cave, with the drawings..." she whispered softly, sounding a little shy. "And I found something very interesting there" she continued, slowly taking one step forward.

He gulped, slowly taking a step back, nervous. He had faced all manner of scary Heartless and Nobodies, and other unimaginable horrors, but he couldn't stand his ground for this?

She continued looking into his eyes (and he back, stunned as he was), smiling as her fingers slowly fell, she taking another step closer. "I found a drawing of us... and you were giving me... a paupo fruit" she whispered softly.

Somewhere during that sentence, his brain temporarily clicked again. "You... you drew yourself giving me one, also" he said, making a small noise as he found Kairi even closer. She was barely half a foot away.

She raised a faint eyebrow, but she nodded with a nervous giggle. "I did" she whispered softly, standing there. "But you drew it in the first place... and I think all this time, we've both really liked each other"

"We... we both did?" he said, stunned. Kairi was really into him, as he was into her?

She nodded slowly, her eyes seeming to sparkle. "Yeah... we both do" she whispered softly, and he could feel her breath on his mouth. "We just needed the right push... we've have to thank Roxas and Namine for that later"

He didn't answer that time, finding the feel of Kairi's breathing on his face to incredibly... something. Something really good.

And he wanted more of it.

He started to lean forward hesitantly, and as soon as he did, Kairi started to as well, her eyes truly sparkling after that. Their eyes closed slowly, their mouths opening as the stepped even closer, their lips touching gently.

Roxas and Namine stood off to the side, looking at each with smiles as Sora and Kairi's kiss slowly intensified, their hands going to his hair and her waist, respectively. After a few seconds of smiling at each other, they disappeared, giving the two teens their privacy.

Days later

CLANG!

Kairi had stopped Riku's attack, which he smiled slightly. "You're getting better, Kairi" he said. "But you've still got a lot to learn"

"Try me" she said, her eyes determined.

He, Sora and Kairi continued to spar for awhile. After the sudden fire spell, they had taught her the basic magics; fire, thunder, blizzard, cure. But their main focus for now had been on keyblade training. Kairi was definitely improving, so the two boys had slowly stepped up their attacks. They weren't at their full abilities yet, not by a long shot, but they were getting there.

And of course, they made sure the 2-on-1 sparring never went too far. A few concentrated attacks here and there, but nothing sneaky.

At one point, in almost slow-motion, he saw Sora on the offensive, but in the process, Kairi's keyblade soared upward in an arc, leaving her wide open.

He took the chance, swinging his keyblade at her, making absolutely sure the flat part would hit, so it wouldn't hurt her. Just shake her up a bit.

CLANG!

The sudden noise surprised everyone, and they all stared at the keyblade that had stopped his attack. But the keyblade wasn't in Kairi's hands... he looked to his right slowly, to the one holding it.

It was Namine.

Her keyblade was pure white, with an angelic appearence about it. It was very detailed, with all these little lines and parts, that it was hard to describe. It had the same handle, guard, blade, and 'teeth' mold as every other keyblade had. The teeth formed the shape of a crown, while the keychain was a heart.

She stood there, both her and her keyblade partially transparent, a smile on her face as she slowly removed her keyblade. "Sorry, I just thought Kairi could use a little help" she said simply.

"Namine" Kairi breathed, staring at her Nobody's keyblade, then at her other half. "I didn't know you could wield a keyblade too"

"I can" she said, her smile sweet, even as her keyblade disappered in a flash of light. "Roxas can wield a keyblade, two in fact, as Sora's Nobody. As your Nobody, so can I... I've just had no need of one before now"

"If I may ask" said Riku. "Why can Roxas wield two keyblades, but you only one?"

Namine's smile stayed, but her gaze lost focus. "I don't remember..." she said faintly. "I know there was a reason... but the memories of why are completely out of my reach"

"It's too bad you don't remember" Sora said, but he smiled at Kairi. "Can you summon Namine's keyblade, Kairi?"

She blinked, then looked at her other hand. "I think so" she said, then a flash of light appeared, but no keyblade. On the second try though, it appeared.

"This is so weird" she said, holding both her keyblades. "A keyblade in both hands... this changes my entire fighting style, doesn't it?"

"Yeah, it does" Sora said, smiling his goofy smile as he rubbed his head. A Drive Form or two had taught him that, though it had been completely natural to him, as he had Roxas inside him the entire time. Kairi though, had just started with one, so this would be an adjustment.

As Kairi asked Sora about dual-wielding, Riku smiled at them, looking at Namine and Roxas (who had appeared shortly after they started talking). "Even Kairi gets a second keyblade... but I don't have a second heart inside mine, so I don't get a chance at one" he said, slightly rueful.

"Don't worry, you're still a great keyblade wielder" Roxas said, patting him on the shoulder, or at least as close as possible as a transparent image.

At that moment though, Kairi and Namine sorta stiffened, their eyes closing. Namine even disappeared entirely for a few seconds, then it passed, but everyone had been concerned. It looked like nothing had happened, on the outside.

But on the inside, something had happened...

About time those two kissed ;) And what happened to Kairi and Namine? Well, find out next time :)

And next time will involve a change of pace, with some combat.

Oh, and if you wish to see what Namine's keyblade, the Lunar Eclipse, looks like, go to Google Images. Type in Keyblade Lunar Eclipse (with or without capitalization), and there should be pictures of the mentioned keyblade. It's awesome :D
