Part 2, Chapter 4: Secrets

Kairi woke up at about midnight. She sat up and saw Roxas and Namine, but no Sora. No sign of the Drizel pack either. She got up and walked around to the rock that she had talked to Sora at before. And there he was.

"Wow, you're finally up." Sora said.

"Well I was a little shocked that I was nearly killed by a wolf." Kairi retorted.

"Sure..." Sora said sarcastically.

"Seriously?" Kairi said, rolling her eyes. Sora laughed.

"Where's the Drizel pack?" Kairi asked.

"Probably out hunting. This is when they like to hunt." Sora replied.

"Oh." Kairi said.

Kairi looked up at the sky and saw a ton of stars.

"Is it always this beautiful here?"

"Pretty much. You know, I'm the one who created it. It was made for the Drizel pack to be protected, but it has darkness." Sora said, looking down.

"Don't feel bad. Nobody is perfect. You did a great job to make a place this beautiful." Kairi said.

Sora looked up and Kairi looked at him.

"Come here!" Sora said suddenly, jumping up on top of the rock. Kairi jumped, but she couldn't make it.

"Need some help?" Sora asked, holding a hand out. Kairi took his hand and climbed up onto the rock. The view was perfect.

Blue, red, green, and so many other colors covered the sky with the stars. Flowers and meadows were everywhere. Mountains and forests that didn't look terrifying at all. Kairi sighed. Tonight was perfect.

Kairi felt like something was looking at her. She turned her head and saw Sora staring at her.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

"You never let go of my hand." Sora said.

"Oh." Kairi blushed and released his hand.

Kairi looked at Sora and closed her eyes, breathing in his scent.

"What are you doing?" Sora asked. Kairi opened her eyes.

"You smell like sea-salt and cinnamon." Kairi said.

"That's weird. There's no cinnamon here." Sora said.

Kairi laughed and a piece of her hair fell in her face. Sora reached over and tucked the hair behind her ear. Kairi blushed.

"Kairi, come with me." Sora said, hopping down. He walked back to the camp and woke Roxas and Namine up, before leading them to the entrance of the Land of Radiance.

Sora looked at Roxas and Namine and nodded. They all leaped into the air and did a flip. When they came back down, they were Boulder, Night, and Snowy.

"Y-you're the Drizel pack? So, you saved my life?" Kairi asked, looking at Sora/Boulder. Sora nodded. Roxas and Namine jumped into the air and did another flip, becoming humans again. Sora howled, and Ronajahala rose into the sky. He did a flip and became human again.

"Kairi, you met Oshtolaite, right?" Sora asked. Kairi nodded.

"Well, he is a werewolf too. He tried to create the Land of Radiance, but failed. He ended up turning me into a werewolf instead. If a werewolf howls and puts his focus into a person, they'll become a werewolf. If a werewolf howls and focuses on the blue moon, it will rise and become the pathway to this place. After his failure, I tried to open it. I ended up accidentally transforming them instead." Sora began, speaking about Roxas and Namine.

"Then I tried it a third time, and it was created." Sora finished. "And now you have to leave."

"What?!" Kairi, Roxas, and Namine exclaimed.

"It's for your own protection. You'd be killed if any of the other packs found out." Sora said, gently pushing her into the cave. He pulled out a keyblade and pointed it at the cave.

"Found out what?" Kairi asked.

"Found out that the leader of the most powerful pack was in love with you." Sora said, sealing the cave from ever being opened again.

Kairi stared at the rocks in front of her. Sora loves me?
