Chapter 12

I am so Sorry.

Thursday morning was always the worst day for anyone, as this was because the weekend was so close, and yet so very far away. For some reason, every student had some of his or her worst subjects on a Thursday.

Surviving 3 periods had been hard, and every student in the cafeteria deserved the lunch break they were receiving. Riku entered the cafeteria through one of the two doors looking for Kairi. He was not able to locate his girlfriend, however he managed to see the table she usually sat at, which was at that moment occupied by Axel, Demyx, and Rikku.

"Oh man, Demyx, you're party was kick-ass," Axel laughed, and Demyx looked at him, his face plastered with hatred.

"Do you know how much trouble I'm in for breaking that vase," He muttered in anger.

"Oh come on, you should have put the vase away if you wanted it to stay intact," Axel waved his hand.

"Do you know how much TROUBLE I'm in," Demyx growled.

"Hey guys," Riku smiled as he reached their table, and Axel stood up and shook his hand.

"What's happening man?" Axel asked.

"I'm trying to look for Kairi, you seen her," Riku asked, but Axel shook his head.

"Nah, man, I haven't seen her since science this morning, you sure she didn't have a free?" Axel asked him.

"No, she always complains about how she has full days every Thursday," Riku muttered.

At that moment, Namine entered the cafeteria holding several art books in her hands.

"God, Namine, got enough books there?" Rikku smiled.

"Miss Provenance wants me to study all these artworks, and write a report about what they were trying to tell the viewer based on what's in these books," Namine huffed.

"Hey, that's an idea, Kairi was complaining about an English Essay about William Shakespeare's Macbeth, maybe she's in the Library," Axel thought out loud, But Namine shook her head.

"No, when I went there to borrow these books, I didn't see her there…why, who's looking for her?" And Riku held his hand up, indicating he was the one looking for her.

Everyone stayed quite for a minute, trying to find out where she could be, when Namine suddenly said something.

"Hey, where are the Number Brothers?" And suddenly everyone realized that Sora and Roxas were nowhere to be found.

"So where missing Sora, Roxas and Kairi," Riku said, and at once, everyone gasped.

"What?" Riku asked Axel, clearly missing the connection the others had made.

"Well, you see, at Demyx's party, we were all playing truth or dare, and Roxas kind of double dared Sora and Kairi to burst into any room at school during school hours and sing a song," Axel said slowly.

"But, they must have realized it was a joke, right?" Rikku chuckled slowly, but the next sound they heard proved her wrong.

It was coming from the speaker system, the sound of a beat music they slowly became louder and louder, And for some unknown reason, everyone turned to the left door, Riku and Axel looking at each other.

"No," Riku said.

"They wouldn't," Axel stated.

"Oh yes they would," Namine smiled, and all of a sudden, right when the lyrics began, Sora and Roxas both burst in, both dressed in black suits with the buttons undone, but Roxas was in a white shirt and black tie, Sora in a black shirt and white tie, and Sora carrying a cane with a thick diamond on the top.

Nice legs, Daisy dukes,

Makes a man go [whistle]


That's the way they all come through

Like [whistle whistle]

Sora spun around, as Roxas looked at the people all laughing and cheering. Roxas was winking at most of the girls around, smiling and flirting as he sung.

Low-cut, see-through

Shirts that make you [whistles]



That's the way she comes through

Like [whistles Whistles]



Sora pointed his cane at the door opposite them, and instantly it opened up, revealing Kairi, dressed in a black silk dress, her hair down, and her lips rosy red. Many of the boys began to wolf whistle, and Riku merely looked at her in awe. She raised her hands up in the air as she began to sing.

Cause I just set them up,

Just set them up,

Just set them up

To knock them down


Sora took over the singing, spinning his cane as he did, as he and Roxas began to walk over to Kairi, Sora took over the singing, smiling at Kairi as he did.

Cause I just set them up,

Just set them up,

Just set them up

To knock them down


Sora, Roxas and Kairi reached each other, and Sora and Kairi both began singing into his Cane, their sound being projected into the sound system.




I think I should know how

To make love to something innocent

Without leaving my fingerprints out,

Now

Roxas began to dance behind them, everyone cheering and smiling, Sora and Kairi all looked at the students, and smiled as they continued to sing.

L-O-V-E's

Just another word

I never learned to pronounce, 


How,

Roxas spun around smiling as he jumped into the air, clicking his fingers as he did. Most people would have thought this was part of the stunt, however, it was so they would not be interrupted. The click caused the doors to lock, and doors to become sound proof, so that the teachers trying to get in would not distract him.

Do I say I'm sorry

cause the word

is never gonna come out,

Now

Sora smiled as he laid his head on Kairi, where she could feel the vibration of his voice going through her bones.

L-O-V-E's

Just another word

I never learned to pronounce


Sora leapt off of Kairi and both he and Roxas jumped onto a table each, being separated between another table. Kairi looked up at the two, smiling, as it was now Sora dancing, and Roxas singing

Tight jeans, Double D's

makin' me go [whistles]

All the people on the street

Know [whistles whistles]


Sora spun around, hitting his cane on the ground, and smiling as he walked around it, as Roxas continued to point out people in the audience that matched the lyrics.

Iced-out, lit-up

Make the kids go [whistles]


All the people on the street

Know [whistle whistle]

Kairi got onto the middle table elegantly, and she turned slowly around, singing to the now cheering crowd.

Cause I just set them up,

Just set them up,

Just set them up

To knock them down

Sora spun around and raised the microphone cane to his lips as he began to sing, causing many of the girls in the audience to scream as loud as they could.

Cause I just set them up,

Just set them up,

Just set them up

To knock them down

Sora ceased singing as he jumped from his table over to Kairi. He managed to hit the landing, spin around, and make it just in time for the chorus.

I think I should know how

To make love to something innocent

Without leaving my fingerprints out

Now


Roxas smiled as he watched the two dancing, before he got an idea. Quite by chance, the table that he was standing on was right near Namine. He lowered his hand, offering her to be with him. Namine giggled, and blushed, before she accepted his hand, and he pulled her up. Now on two of the tables were two teenagers, one couple dancing, and the other singing.

L-O-V-E's

Just another word

I never learned to pronounce


How.

Sora and Kairi both stood back to back, and sung as if they were preaching to the other students.

Do I say I'm sorry

cause the word

is never gonna come out

Now

Sora and Kairi both spun around facing each other as they said the final lines to the chorus.

L-O-V-E's

Just another word

I never learned to pronounce


Suddenly Kairi grabbed the cane from Sora, and lightly pushed him back. Sora jumped back onto the table, lowing himself down, then jumping back up. Roxas spun Namine around, and lowered her to the ground, where she was dazed, confused, but excited at the same time. Kairi spun the cane around before she began to sing solo.

You know that type of shit Just don't work on me

Whistlin' and tryin' to Flirt with me


Don't take it personally

'Cause we were never in love

Sora and Roxas were both dancing on the tables, smiling as they turned this way and that on the one table, dancing as the girls cheered, screaming as fan girls, Riku couldn't help but smile

It doesn't really matter who you say you are


Singin' out the window of your car

Find another girl across the Bar

'Cause L-O-V-E is not what this was. 


Sora jumped back to Kairi's table, and they both began to sing, Sora and Kairi both holding the microphone cane, and both smiling as they began to sing together, their voices absolutely perfect together.

I think I should know how

To make love to something innocent

Without leaving my fingerprints out

Now

Roxas began to shuffle on the table, as all the guys started cheering him on as he did his performance, Sora and Kairi both singing.

L-O-V-E's

Just another word

I never learned to pronounce


How

Sora smiled as he twirled Kairi around himself, looking at her gaze, like she was having more fun there than she had ever had in her lifetime.

Do I say I'm sorry

'cause the word

is never gonna come out


now

Sora and Kairi looked into each other's eyes, and everyone in the room could feel the sparks, some thought it was romantic, and others (Meaning Riku) felt like punching Sora in the face.

L-O-V-E's

Just another word

I'll never learn to pronounce

Sora raised his fingers, and clicked them, instantly unlocking the doors, and causing the Teachers to walk into the room and act as if nothing had happened. Sora, Roxas and Kairi all jumped down, and smiled as everyone around them congratulated them on the performance.

"I cannot believe you did it," Axel shook his head.

"What?" Sora shrugged, "He dared me to do it," Sora childishly pointed at Roxas, and Roxas just rolled his eyes.

"Demyx, I can't believe you didn't play your sitar with us, it would've made the whole performance look so unbelievable good," Roxas stated.

"Oh, I don't think so," Demyx muttered, but Roxas rolled his eyes.

"Come on man, I've seen you play, you're good, but you don't let anyone else see, you need to grow a backbone," Roxas stated plain and simple.

"Excuse me, I have a backbone," Demyx stated quite lamely, and at once, Sora knew exactly what was about to happen, even without his mind reading ability.

"Ah, Roxas," Sora spoke up, but was ignored.

"Oh really?" Roxas looked at Demyx.

"Roxas, you might want to rethink this," Sora said once again, but was again ignored.

"Yeah," Demyx said matter-o-factly.

"Well, then…" Roxas began, and before Sora could stop him, Roxas grabbed him, brought him up, and began to passionately make out with him.

The Roxas charm began to take over as Demyx began to kiss him back. People around them began to stare, open mouthed, and Kairi and Namine's almost hit the floor. Sora merely put his hand up to his eyes and sighed. Axel and Rikku looked at them both, Axel amazed, Rikku slightly interested, whose thoughts were all projected into Sora's mind.

"Oh for the love of…" Sora muttered.

After a couple of moments, Demyx stopped kissing Roxas, and, Still under his influence, grabbed Roxas' tie, and dragged him out of the room.

"Ah, Rikku, would you like to join in?" Roxas asked, and Rikku got up, but was stopped by Kairi.

"You're not actually going to go through with it are you?"

Rikku shrugged, "It'll be an interesting Story," And with that she ran up to catch up with the two.

Kairi, Namine and Axel both stood there, clearly shocked. Riku, who hadn't noticed what had been happening, walked over to them to see Demyx, Roxas and Rikku all heading out the door.

"What the hell are those two doing?" Riku asked.

"You really don't want to know," Sora smiled, but then a look of disgust came across his face. Kairi was about to ask what was wrong, when all of a sudden, her question was answered, but not the way she wanted it to be answered.

Oh my god…its so...

"Oh god," Kairi almost gagged, and Sora almost bolted to one of the tables, and began to smash his head repeatedly onto it. Kairi and Namine ran over to him, while Axel and Riku we're still motionless, still trying to compute what was going on.

"Get it out…GET IT OUT!" Sora yelled as he smashed his head.

"What is it?" Kairi asked frightened, and the answer made her feel sorry for Sora.

"I can bloody well see into Rikku and Demyx's mind can't I," he muttered furiously, grabbing one of the clean trays, and beating it out of his mind, but all of a sudden, he stopped.

"What, have they finished?" Namine asked, but the look indicated they weren't, as Sora fear only increased.

"OH, GOD!" He said, as he grabbed hold of his hair, his eyes wide open, and he fell to his knees.

"Yeah, that's not good," Kairi muttered.

"Well, can't you just…I dunno, turn it off?" Namine asked.

"It's not a magic trick, Nam, I can't just turn it on and off, it's like a light, the more visual the picture is in someone's mind, the more I see," Sora shuddered.

"It's a miracle you haven't been scared for life," Kairi smiled.

Oh yes…yes…oh god yes…

Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing, wondering who had said that. But one table knew exactly who had said that.

"Well, I think now WE have just been scared for life," Kairi muttered, but she stopped when she saw Sora stagger to his feet, his eyes looking like they had seen something terrible, and he grabbed hold of Kairi.

"Aspirin," Sora muttered.

"What?" Kairi asked, not sure she had heard him correctly.

"I need aspirin," Sora again muttered.

"Why?" Kairi asked.

"NOW!" Sora yelled, and Kairi almost ran to her bag as she searched through her belongings until she found a capsule full of painkillers given to her by her mother. Rushing back, she handed them to Sora as he said "Cold Water,"

"Oh, I have some," Namine said.

"It needs to be freezing," Sora yelled at her, as he suddenly froze.

"What…what is it?" Kairi asked as Namine reached them with bottle of what looked like frozen water. But they didn't need an answer, for at that moment, they heard Rikku, and everyone in the room froze.

Yes…Yes…Yes…YES…OH GOD YES

Sora's eyes widened as he slowly managed to get up.

"Urgh, I think I'm going to be sick," Kairi muttered, As Sora rose to his full height, grabbed the bottle and ran as fast as he could towards the kitchen in the cafeteria.

"I think someone beat you to it," Namine slowly said, as a small crowd gathered to see what Sora was doing.

After what seemed like a minute of banging pots, and screams, Sora returned with a pan of what Kairi could assume to be boiling hot water.

"Whoa, your not going to drink that are you?" Kairi asked.

"Don't be ridiculous…I'm pouring it down my right ear," Sora muttered quickly as if this was the sensible thing to do.

Sora took out the capsule of aspirin and poured about 6 aspirin on the table. He crushed each of them into a fine powder. Most people didn't have a clue what Sora was doing, and became instantly confused as Sora took the cold water, tilted his head to the left, and began pouring in down his left ear. Everyone looked at his as if he was a freak, but Sora wasn't really concentrating on that, more so on the getting the vile images in his head out.

Putting left hand over his left ear, he threw the bottle down, and tilted his head to the left. Grabbing the pot of boiling hot water, he began, like he said he would, pouring it down his right ear. Holding his right hand over his right ear, he began to shake his head, and if you listened very carefully, you could almost hear the water begin swashed around in his brain. Sora beckoned Kairi over as lowered his head to the table.

"What? What is it," Kairi asked.

"Kairi, I need you to place your finger against my right nostril," Sora said, shaking as he did.

"What?" Kairi asked, as if she had not heard him correctly.

"JUST DO IT NOW!" Sora screamed, and Kairi instantly pushed her index finger against his right nostril, and to the astonishment of everyone else in the room, he snorted the aspirin powder.

Kairi almost instantly stepped back, as Sora began to shake his head, and he let out a scream of success, scaring most of the people in the café. Shaking his head, he stared at Kairi with a crazy look in his eye.

"AHH! BRILLIANT! That certainly is a lot better," Sora smiled.

Kairi (and everyone else in the room) looked at Sora with a look of concern.

"What? What is it?" Sora asked, acting as if he had done nothing out of the ordinary.

"Mind explaining to us what the hell that was," Kairi said, almost innocently.

"What that? Oh, that was just a mind-reset cure, good if your mind is clustered. The hot and cold water together causes steam in your brain, and the aspirin dust attaches itself to the steam, causing your mind to be free of thought, that'll keep up for the next 10 minutes, which should be enough time for Roxas to finish off…or one of the teachers to catch them, whichever comes first," Sora smiled.

Although they were still getting concerned looks from the rest of the crowd, Kairi and Namine seemed to be satisfied with his answer. Sora turned to said crowd and began to wave his hands, "Don't worry people, just a simple ritual I do, helps keep the senses aware, but id advise you not to do it, I've been doing it for quite some time, and if any of you tried to do it…well, you may kill yourself," Sora smiled, and with the explanation, people began to talk, and soon the noise of the chatter filled the ears of everyone.

Riku pushed passed a couple of kids as he was soon in reach of Sora.

"Sora what was all that about?" Riku muttered, trying to remain cool.

"Oh, it was just a simple mind clearing ritual I do," Sora smiled, but Riku shook his head.

"No, I'm talking about that little musical number you put on just then," Riku pointed to the tables on which Sora, Kairi and Roxas had danced on.

"Riku, that was just a joke," Sora smiled, as if that was the obvious.

"You two seemed to be getting a little bit close there wouldn't you say," Riku snarled.

"Riku, calm down, it was just a harmless gimmick," Kairi tried to touch Riku, but he continued to stare at Sora.

"Oh yeah? Well I've seemed to notice that you are spending an awful lot of time with my girlfriend," Riku stated, and this was true. For the past month Sora and Kairi had been spending a lot more time with each other than Kairi and Riku. Of course, Kairi and Sora were both having his half yearly exams soon, and they were in all the same classes, so they had been studying for most of that time.

"Riku, there is nothing going on between us, I promise," Kairi smiled.

"Riku, I promise you, I'm only being a very protective friend, Kairi is all yours, I promise," Sora smiled, and these words seemed to make Riku less angry as he slowly began to calm down.

"Yeah, your right," Riku smiled.

"Good," Sora smiled, and they both shook hands as Roxas, Demyx and Rikku both entered the cafeteria.

"Oh, here comes trouble," Sora muttered as Rikku walked straight up to him.

"Sora, your brother has to be the best person I have ever…" Rikku began, but was stopped by Sora raising his hand.

"Please, Rikku, keep all personal opinions to yourself, he is after all, my brother," Sora muttered, and she nodded, he attitude showing signs that she was slightly dazed, as she walked over to Demyx and together they both exited the room, as Roxas walked over to his brother.

"Eh, they were alright for a pair of humans," Roxas shrugged.

"Roxas, are you trying to drive me insane?" Sora asked nonchalantly

"What?" Roxas asked clearly confused.

"I could see every damn thing that was happening in there," Sora muttered furiously.

"How the hell could you see…oh right, mind reading," Roxas grinned as Sora sighed.

"Well, come on then, we're going to be late for the next class," Sora said as he walked over to the table, and grabbed his and Kairi's bags. (Surprisingly, no one questioned as to how there bags had gotten there) and they began to leave as Kairi noticed Namine was a bit downhearted. Kairi tapped Sora on the shoulder, as a motion for him to stop, and together they both walked towards her.

"Nam, you ok?" Kairi asked slowly.

"Hmm? Oh yeah, I'm fine…just feels like I've missed out on something," Namine said smiling, and Sora looked back.

"Trust me Nam, you haven't missed out on anything," Sora smiled, and together, all three of them laughed.

12------12

"Oh, come on, you're telling me we have to study AND do homework?"

Roxas had made this complaint as Sora, Kairi, Namine and Himself were exiting the school building, far later than they had originally planned. Namine and Kairi both laughed as Sora rolled his eyes.

"What the hell do you care? Not as if you actually do the work Roxas," Sora stated, and Roxas was about to say something, when he and Sora both suddenly stopped, causing both Kairi and Namine to run into both of their Guardian Angels, but the two did not move an inch.

"Whoa, what where you two are going," Kairi smiled, but when she realized Sora had not apologized, she knew something was up.

"You feel that?" Roxas stated.

"Be a bit hard not to," Sora muttered, both of there eyes darting this way and that to try to find something.

"What, what did you feel?" Namine asked, but neither of the two Guardian Angels said anything

"Roxas, I think you should take the two girls away now, I don't know who there sending, and if its wake…"

But Roxas shook his head, "If it IS wake, then you are going to need all the help you can get,"

"Roxas, don't argue with me, just get them far away as possible right now," Sora didn't yell, and yet Kairi would have felt a lot safer is he had.

Roxas realized the seriousness in his voice, and he was about to grab hold of the girls and draw them away, when all of a sudden a bust of fire emitted 20 meters. Kairi and Namine both shielded their eyes, as a being, who looked human, but had blood red eyes and black hair, wearing black rags, and had a rather long red tail, and a two horns, one of which was broken clean off, walked out of the fire.

"Flame Flare," Sora snarled, as Roxas positioned himself infront of the two girls.

"Whatever happens, do not leave this spot," Roxas told the girls.

"What business have you here, demon?" Sora shouted, and the demon smiled as he licked his lips.

"I have no businesssss with you, Angel," The demon muttered, his voice amplified, and multiple, it was as if he was being possessed, and he looked at the two girls.

"You will come withhhh me, The Dark Lord wantssssss you know," The Demon drew out a finger, and motioned the two to come towards him, but they did not move.

"I offer you this one chance, return back to the dark abyss now, or I will be forced to send you there myself, and believe me, it will be painful!" Sora shouted once again, but the Demon began to walk towards them, cracks appearing in the footpath where he stood.

Sora conjured up a ball of pure white energy, blue flames sparking from it, he pulled his hand back, and then pushed it forward, releasing the ball. It sailed through the air, and connected with the Demons chest.

At once the demon burst into flames, it screamed into the night, as it slowly began to whither, and finally, it disappeared, only ashes remaining where he once stood.

Sora wasted no time in walking up to the two girls, "Ladies, listen to me very carefully, I want you to head home, don't talk to anyone, don't stop anywhere, we both will join you shortly, but for now we have other things to attend to, Roxas, we need to get to heaven now, and find out what's going on, because if the Demon's are willing to risk showing off a Flame Flare, then that must mean they are getting desperate,"

"And you're going to leave us alone?" Kairi muttered.

"Don't worry, they aren't that desperate to use a Flame Flare twice in a row in the same area," Sora stated.

"And what would happen if they did?" Namine asked.

"It would cause a temporal rift between the two scars, you see a Flame Flare literally cuts a hole between earth's reality and hell's reality, and that caused atoms to be released, however, if two were opened, the atoms of one area would enter the other area, causing it to be infected, and cause a rift in space, and destroy both universes," Roxas explained, and both Kairi and Namine looked at him in shock.

"What? Just because he's the smarter brother doesn't mean I don't know anything," Roxas stated matter-o-factly.

"Look, we don't have time for this, the point is we have 11 hours before the hole heals itself, so until then, they can't teleport here, so just get here, and look out," Sora warned her.

"Look out for what?" Kairi asked.

"There might be other things that could get her…not as dangerous, but still…just get home as quick as possible," Sora stated again, and with that, both Sora and Roxas disappeared into the afternoon.

"Come on, Nam," Kairi stated, and together, the two friends began running out of the school and down the road.

The distance between their school and their houses was a fair distance, and it would take around 40 minutes by walking. Luckily, Kairi and Namine were both fit women, and could make the distance in 20 minutes by running.

Kairi and Namine ran down the empty road, to the left was the long stretch of beach, and two the right, several parks and houses. They both felt the wind in their faces as they ran, and to any person watching, it would be as if they were racing, and they were, but not against each other, against the clock.

As they turned the corner and headed through one of the neighborhoods, Kairi suddenly noticed that the temperature had considerably dropped. Namine noticed this as well as the two began to slow down. Kairi looked down at the bracelet she had gotten from Sora, and noticed that the crystal in the centre had turned black, and all of a sudden, Sora's voice echoed through her head.

If a heartless is near, then it will turn black…

Both Kairi and Namine slowly tuned around in their spots, and gasped at what they saw.

From out from under the ground were almost two-dozen black holes. Instantly from these holes, little black creatures rose from the ground, each with antennas and bright yellow eyes. They slowly began to make there way towards the two girls, some of them jumping, some attaching themselves to the house, but somehow, they were slowly heading towards the girls.

Both of them turned and began to run as fast as they could, steadying their breath so they wouldn't run out of breath or get a cramp. The Heartless seemed to follow them, even some disappearing into a dark hole, and reappear ahead of them, however, the girls would be too far away when the heartless would rise.

"What the hell are those things?" Namine yelled to Kairi.

"They're called Heartless," Kairi yelled back as they turned a corner.

"And what the hell is a heartless?" Namine asked.

"How should I know?" Kairi yelled.

"Well, you seem to know their name," Namine stated.

"Sora mentioned it, plus my charm turned black, which means heartless are near,"

"No kidding," Namine said sarcastically.

They soon reached their neighborhood, being followed by hundreds of heartless. People began to look at the two children running for their lives, some whispering, others just staring.

"Why the hell aren't they running?!" Namine screamed to Kairi.

"It's the Kinetic Supernatural Cancellation, they can't see them, but we can," Kairi screamed back, and her theory was correct when one of the heartless passed right through a young girl.

"I suppose the Kinetic Supernatural Cancellation is also connected with feeling," Kairi stated, as they reached a fork in the road, Kairi's house going left, while Namine's was right.

"Nam, run as fast as you can to you house," Kairi didn't even bother stopping to say goodbye as she headed off right, just catching Namine yelling out a good luck as she lost sight of her due to the houses.

The Heartless were begging to close in on her, some coming from the other end of the house, while others began to form at the other end of the street, slowly closing in on Kairi. She took one more deep breath, and although she was extremely tired, she ran as fast as she could to her house.

Up the driveway, through the door, Kairi dived as she bolted her door shut. She looked through the peephole in her door to see that the heartless were all trying to get to her, and yet they couldn't get past the curve.

Suddenly the entire house began to shake. Kairi ran up the stairs and into her bedroom, where she opened up her window and looked outside.

From the sky above, the clouds seemed to open up, and slowly, a figure began to lower down, a figure with brown spiky, long bright wings, and what could only be seen as some type of suit.

Sora Twelve looked upon the scene, looking at the thousands of Heartless surrounding Kairi's house, not being able to enter the house due to the angelic aurora that surrounded it. Sora withdrew his hand, and conjured up another ball of white light, he pointed it straight down towards Kairi's house, and sent the ball of light flying down towards Kairi's house.

Kairi ducked down, expecting it to destroy her house. However, after 10 seconds, when she realized nothing had happened, she looked out her window to see a circle of light expand from the house, the Heartless disappearing as the light hit them, and in a matter of seconds, all the heartless were gone.

Sora lowered himself through the roof of Kairi's bedroom, until his feet touched the ground. Kairi stared at him in awe, as she slowly walked towards him as he dusted something off of his jacket.

"Well, as attacks go, I would say that was an extremely clean one," Sora smiled as he stretched, and watched as Kairi slowly came up to him, raised her hand slowly, and then brought it down with all the force she could muster against Sora's arm.

"Ouch," Sora said, as Kairi began hitting his arm again and again.

"Why…did…you…teleport…me!" Kairi said with each hit.

"Kairi, Kairi, calm down," Sora tried to calm the girl down, but she continued to hit him.

"We ran so far, I've never been so scared in my entire life, and right when I needed you, you…weren't…there!" Kairi hit harder than ever.

"Kairi, this was important, I…" Sora began, but stopped when he realized that she had reduced the power of her slaps, and was now crying into his shoulder.

"Why, Sora, all this pain, Hayner, Yuna, being hunted down by demons, and being chased by heartless, what did I do to deserve this?" Kairi sobbed into his jacket/

"Kairi…" Sora muttered slowly, stroking her head, "…Oh Kairi Mary Faller I am so sorry,"

"Why, Sora, why chase me with Demons and Heartless?" Kairi looked up at Sora.

Sora withdrew himself as he walked to the window, contemplating telling Kairi something. Kairi waited patiently until Sora turned around, and looked Kairi straight in the eye.

"The Dark Angel will use anyway to get to you," Sora slowly stated.

"But why me? Why do they want me?" Kairi asked Sora.

"Because Kairi, you are the key," Sora stated.

"A Key? A Key to what?" Kairi asked, and Sora now had a look of pure seriousness on his face.

"The Key to Kingdom Hearts,"

Kairi looked at Sora for a full moment, pure confusion on her face.

"And what is Kingdom Hearts?" Kairi asked, feeling that her question had still not been answered.

Sora sighed, "I suppose I should start at the beginning, shouldn't I?"

"Yeah, that would probably be best," Kairi stated as she took a seat on her bed. Sora slowly walked over to Kairi's chair, and took a seat as he unbuttoned his blazer.

"Kairi, when the Father created life, more specifically the heart, the heart was originally created with control, literally an energy that could control any form of life. When the Father believed that this was not fair, he replaced it with free will, but that left the energy to float around, where anyone could get a hold of the control, so he created a dimension where the control of every living thing that would ever exist could be placed, and he called this place Kingdom Hearts, that could be only accessed by a special door,"

"The Father used a special item to seal the door, and placed that within a spacious box known as Pandora's box, much like the box from the Greek story, but to open this box, you couldn't use just any key, no, you see, he created the prefect key, by making it an energy, dividing it into seven, and placing it into the life stream of seven girls, who were nicknamed the Princesses of Heart. They were then placed within the Time Schism, to be born within different times, but slightly together,"

"I'm a princess?" Kairi asked.

"You and Namine are, part of a special key that lock away the mightiest weapon of all," Sora stated, but this statement didn't not make Kairi any happier.

"So I was created just to be a key?" Kairi said in disgust, but Sora smiled.

"Kairi, regardless of the key, you we're born because the Timeline of Reality said you would be born, you we're just unlucky to be picked as one of the seven," When Kairi didn't say anything, Sora continued with his story.

"Almost seven months ago, The Dark Angel, Ruler of Hell, found evidence that Pandora's box existed, and sent his Bounty Hunter, Wake, to infiltrate Heaven and Steal the box,"

"How could a demon get into hell?" Kairi cut in, to which Sora smiled.

"It isn't impossible to do so, pervious demons gave managed to do it before, but it is at a risk of the demons appearance, I believe once when a demon tried it, he was unfortunate to remain in the physical body of a snake,"

"Oh," Kairi merely managed to say, and Sora continued on with his story.

"Once the Dark Angel had Pandora's box, he tried everything he could to open it, but still had no luck, until one day, he found someone to read the ancient markings, ancient Angelic language, which stated that only the life force of the seven princesses would be able to open the box, and obtain the item to enter Kingdom Hearts,"

"So, the Dark Angel sent Wake to Earth, and he was ordered to find the Seven princesses, the only down side of course was that he had no idea who was a princess, so we had a head start. The Father assigned his seven best Angels, nicknamed Haven's Elite, to go to earth and protect the seven princesses, but the Dark Angel soon used this too his advantage, trying to find the Angelic Aurora…not knowing who was who, not caring about the deaths of innocents, just as long as he achieved his princesses…and I'm afraid, he's a lot closer than he ever has been,"

"What do you mean?" Kairi asked.

"He recently managed to capture Aerith, which means he has five out of the seven princesses of Hearts,"

"So, this Wake is coming after me and Namine?" Kairi asked.

"Yep, me and Roxas are the only ones left," Sora smiled.

"Oh, glad you're happy," Kairi snapped.

"Oh, Kairi, there is nothing to worry about, the last flame flare happened about and hour and a half ago, there is still a 9 and a half hour wait before the next flame flare, so you have nothing to worry…"

Kairi looked up when she realized Sora had not finished the sentence, and saw that he had a look of realization on his face.

"…Unless he's been here for a lot longer, still on earth, and arrived here before the other flame flare, and the other demon attack was just a distraction so that our guard will be decreased,"

And all of a sudden, Sora breathed in, and his eyes widened, "No!" He said in shock.

"Sora, is something the matter?" Kairi asked, but Sora turned to her and yelled, "KAIRI, GET DOWN, NOW!"

But he was too late, as all of a sudden, Sora was knocked out, the last thing he heard was an explosion, Kairi screamed, and a cold laughter.

12------12

Sora's eyes fluttered open as he slowly managed to pull himself up, groaning as he did, as his memory was slowly coming back.

"Oh, what the hell hit me…body check, Legs, yes, still have them, ankles, 2, feet, 2, toes, 10, good, hands, arms, fingers, 10 fingers, good, hair, still there, eyes, nose, mouth, chin, good nothing broken, back, stomach, pelvis…oh right, everything's good there, ears, thighs, everything seems to be there, senses, hearing, check, taste, yes, smell, all good, touch, carpet, all good there, sight, seems to be working fi…" Sora stopped mid way as he thought his sight had gone, but when he rubbed his eyes a few times, he realized that he was not dreaming.

Half of Kairi's wall had been ripped open; the side facing their backyard and neighbors backyards, but this was not that had surprised Sora.

"No," Sora muttered, not believing what he was seeing. Sora staggered to his feet as he walked to the edge of the room, looking up into the sky.

From above, black clouds began to form, and lightning began to strike, and Sora knew exactly what it was, and it had nothing to do with the weather. It was a security mechanism that the Father had created, and it only meant one thing.

"He has them," Sora said in disbelief, "The Dark Lord has all seven Princesses of Hearts," And Sora could do nothing but look at the sky, and only fear what the Dark Lord could do with the power he was only inches away from possessing.

Next Time On 12

Sora is walking through heaven, people smiling and playing as he does.

"He has all seven"

Sora is standing in a temple-like area with the Father and Haven's Elite.

"And if we don't do something soon…"

Sora, Roxas, and the other members are running as fast as they can though heaven.

"…He will control everything,"

All seven are standing on pad like objects, while an old man is flicking though a computer.

"Now then, this should take you straight to the inner sanctum,"

The Father looks at Sora as he puts his hand on his shoulder.

"Sora, you must save those girls, whatever it takes,"

Sora stands in the inner sanctum of hell, while Heartless and Demons laugh as the Dark Angel smiles.

"Welcome, Sora Twelve…welcome to the end of Free Will,"
