I had wroters block for a while and I already wrote this but my 'wonderful' comp. didn't save it so I'll add more later on but for now read and enjoy.

Chapter 14: One more Day

They had now been on the Gummiship for two days and Kairi was getting a little restless. Riku was worried about her; most of the time she looked herself in her room and prayed.

She prayed that they would find Sora. Prayed that he would been alive. That they get to him in time. That he would not end up like this person she heard about ten years ago. She thought about how she felt around Sora. The way he always seemed to make things better. Just thinking about his smile brought her own smile back to her face.

-Kairi POV-

"Oh Sora" I whispered to myself, though I was alone. "Why does this always happen?" I curled into a ball on the bed. "Every time something great, exciting, and new comes our way…something is always there to ruin it." I laid there and felt the time ticking away. Every moment I that I wasn't with him felt like I was loosing myself.

I was brought back into reality by a knock at the door.

"Kairi" I heard someone called from the other side. "Can I come in?" he asked hesitantly. I laid there for a few debating with myself as to let him in or ask him to please leave me alone. Finally I made my decision.

-Roxas POV-

I glanced around the open room that led to the bedrooms. Riku was standing by a small round window staring off into the endless path of Gummispace. Aqua and Terra had gone off with the king to the cockpit to discuss strategies and what not. Namine was sitting in the corner of the room sketching to keep her mind off the present situation.

Even from my seat at the other side of the room I could see in her expression that it wasn't working. When I didn't see Kairi I knew right away where she was. The only place she ever is. I got up and made my way down the hall to her bedroom.

I approached the door and wondered if I should talk to her. What if she just wanted to be left alone? But what if she needed someone to talk to? What would I say to her if she does?

'Aaaahhhh' I screamed in my head out of frustration. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. When I heard nothing I was starting to wonder if I should just leave her alone.

"Kairi?" I called to her. "Can I come in?" I asked nervously. I stood there for a moment and wondered if I should leave her alone. As I turned to head back to the main room when I heard the door open behind me.

*Third person*

Roxas entered the room and heard Kairi shut the door behind him. He took a seat at the small desk in the corner of the room and Kairi went back to her place on the bed. The two sat in silence until Kairi decided to break it.

"What did you want?" she practically whispered. "I…" he bit his lip, unable to find the words he was looking for. "I just wanted…to k-keep you company" he managed to get out.

"Oh" was her reply. "Thank you" she gave a small smile. This made Roxas' stomach settle a bit. It had been a while since he had seen her 'really' smile. "Roxas" she spoke up. "Hmm?". " Do you think Sora's alright?" she hesitantly asked. "Honestly Kairi…I don't know." he replied. "I'm sure he is!" the nobody quickly added. Kairi looked down at her hands, which where clenching the trims of her pink dress.

"Y-you're right" she wanted to believe that so much. She needed to believe that Sora was alright and they would make it on time. A little while later Roxas left her to be after he reassured her that everything would be okay.

"Hey" someone called from the end of the hallway. Roxas turned around and saw Riku standing there. "I never got to finish answering your question." he gave an emotionless look. "Huh? What ques-" then he remembered. "Oh, right." it was what he had asked Sora and Riku back on the island. About those picture that were kept out of reach from anyone.

"Come in and I'll tell you the rest." Riku opened the door to his room and Roxas stepped in. "Have a seat." Riku motioned him to a chair in the corner. He himself took a seat on the bed and continued where he had left off.

"The point is that all those pictures you saw are a 'timeline.' Things that had already happened in Sora's life, like first steps and whatever parents photograph their kids for. Others were, in a way, of the future." this took Roxas by surprise. How can anyone 'know the future'? "A lot of them were of all three of us. The adults just thought Sora was hoping we could be together forever. Then…after a certain point in the drawings he had done, something changed." Riku's expression became very serious. "Someone, I just started remembering a few hours ago, was missing. I remember him now as Ventus." Roxas looked up at him and added "Sora's older brother." Riku looked surprised and continued. "Right. When Sora was four he disappeared…just like in the pictures he had drawn. It showed a sort of giant heart in the sky. It had a blue tint and appeared to be over a waste land." he paused and looked back toward the ground. Suddenly it hit him. "The King!" Riku exclaimed, surprising Roxas. "W-what?" Roxas stared at him wide eyed. "In the corner of that picture he drew…the king was in it."

"Where are you going with this?" Roxas looked at him confused. "He knew…Sora already knew. About the keyblade, Kairi, even what I would do." Riku's expression showed his pain.

"He really is the master of light. Always there for other…including me." a small smile appeared on Riku's face. "I'll go check on Namine." Roxas stated as he left Riku to be.

"Sora really is something else." Roxas said to himself. "Just thinking about him got those two to smile." before he knew it he too was smiling. "Sora…where almost there."

'Hurry'

Roxas's eyes widened as he turned in all directions. "I thought I heard…" he trailed off. He brushed it off and continued walking. No matter how hard he tried he could get the voice out of his head, that familiar voice, his voice…Sora.

-Somewhere Else-

'Sora, we're almost there'

"Huh?" Sora sung his head back in forth. "Was that…it sounded like…Roxas." he said aloud, for Xemnort had yet to return. Sora had thought about escaping but…every time he got anywhere near the exit he was thrown back in the cave.

The teen sighed and sat down on one of the rocks and gave a weak smile. "I hope so" he replied. He closed his eyes and focused on Roxas's voice. He figured if he could hear Roxas maybe he could communicate somehow.

Sora felt himself being pulled away from the cave and himself. He opened his eyes and realized he was in an all black area. Not the least bit of light was seen anywhere. "Where am I?" he asked himself not expecting an answer.

"Kingdom Hearts" he whipped around to find, who he thought was Roxas, standing in front of him. But when he got a good look at the guy something was different, though Sora couldn't tell what. "Hey there…Sora" the blonde greeted him with a smile that could have been Sora's. "Hey…Ven." Sora gave a weak smile. Before he knew what was going on a lone tear was running off the side of the brunets face.

Without a second thought Sora ran to his brother full speed and wrapped his arms around his waist in a tight hug. Ventus bent down and hugged him back with equally crushing strength. "Long time no see…brother." Ventus whispered in Sora's ear. "I missed you" was his reply as the two stood there, in a reunited hug. To Sora the current situation had been completely forgotten, all the brunet needed was his brother right now.

End…

I will have another rant momentarily but my pc refuses to save right now so I promise it will be up later.

There you go. Serious writers block. Tell me what you thought and give me some ideas!

Thanks, laters...
