Chapter 13: Memories of You

Kairi's POV:

I sat in the same spot for a few more minutes crying my heart out until Riku and Sora came to my side.

"Come on, Kairi." Riku said helping me up and wrapped his arm around me.

"Yeah, let's go home." I heard Sora say.

I didn't move, Riku ended up having to pick me up and taking me home.

My eyes didn't leave the spot where Axel disappeared from until we were out of there.

After arriving back to the island, they took me to my house.

I didn't come out of the house for days. Sora and Riku were always trying to get me to come out of the house. They would knock on the door constantly. I just couldn't find the strength to come out of my shell. I was too depressed from losing him. When I wasn't crying or trying to eat, I was sleeping most of the time. And when I would sleep, I would dream of him. And then the nightmares would come and I would relive seeing him fade away. I was broken. I was a different girl after that.

A few weeks later I finally got the courage to come out of the house.

Sora and Riku were happy to see me.

"I'm glad you finally decided to come out," Sora said with a smile.

"Yeah, we really missed you Kairi." Riku added.

"How are you holding up?" Sora asked putting his arm around me.

"I'm alright." I said shrugging.

"Hey, wanna go get some ice cream?" Riku suggested.

I sighed and tried to pull off a smile. "Sure, ice cream sounds good."

"Great!" Sora said excitedly.

Lea's POV:

I woke up somewhere that appeared to be my home world, Radiant Garden.

"What happened?" I asked out loud holding onto my painful head.

"Well, I died and you must have died, too." A familiar voice replied.

I looked to the right of me and Saïx was by my side.

"Saïx?"

"Well, it's Isa now. We're our somebodies now, Lea."

"But how?" I asked confusedly.

He shrugged.

"Do you remember what happened?" I asked him.

"No, most of my memories seemed to be gone."

"Mine, as well." I replied.

"Well, whatever had happened must have something to do with us being our somebodies now."

I nodded and got up. "Maybe we can go on back to our normal lives."

Isa chuckled. "Normal lives? Regardless of us being back to normal, does not mean we're out of the Organization. We must to have been revived for a reason."

"So you think our Superior revived us?"

"Possibly." Isa replied.

"Well then, let us go back and find out what we can."

Isa stood up and nodded. And we left to go find our Superior.

Kairi's POV:

Things were finally getting back to normal for me. Well, as normal as you could get after the loss of someone you love. Sora and Riku were very supportive and always around when things got tough. My shell was opening back up to them. Sora had grown close to me, again. It was turning out to be like old times before they went off to fight the darkness.

"Hey Kairi?" I heard Sora say.

I turned to him to see what he wanted. "Yeah?"

"I was wondering if we could go somewhere," he began and scratched the back of his neck before continuing, "ya know alone?"

I shrugged before replying, "Sure, why not. It's been awhile since I've been anywhere else."

"Great!" he jumped up excitedly.

I smiled and shook my head over how happy he seemed. He grabbed my hand and started walking fast.

"Where are we going?" I asked as I tried to keep up with him.

"To the Gummi Ship." He replied.

"Okay then.."

Once we got to the Gummi Ship, we climbed in and set off to wherever he was taking me. Soon I could tell which world we were headed to.

Twilight Town.

"Oh no..." I thought to myself.

After getting to Twilight Town. We got out of the Gummi Ship. He took my hand, again. And led me through Sunset Terrace to Sunset Hill.

"Here we are," he said grinning walking up the trail to the top of the hill where the bench was.

I gave him a suspicious look not getting what he was up to. "Why are we here?" I asked.

"Well, I've always wanted to bring you up here ever since I came across this place." He confessed.

We went and sat down on the bench. He pulled me close, putting his arm around me.

I sighed. I really didn't want to hurt his feelings, but I felt he was moving too fast for me. I wasn't even over Axel.

And to top it all off, this was one of the places him and I had visited.

"Sora, I'm sorry I just think you're moving too fast for me. I know you still have feelings for me and I'm flattered." I sighed before continuing, "I'm just not over Axel, yet."

His smile slowly faded away. "No.. I understand. I just thought it'd do you some good to get away from the island."

"I know and I'm grateful for it. Really, thank you. It's just when Axel was still alive, he brought me here once." I replied looking down at the ground not wanting to see the hurtful look on his face.

"Oh.. Kairi, I'm sorry. I wouldn't have brought you here if I had known that." He said softly and pulled me in for a hug.

I was beginning to feel upset, again. "I just miss him so much, Sora." I sniffled.

He slowly stroked my hair. "I know.. I just thought that maybe since I was here, you wouldn't feel so alone anymore."

"I wish it were that easy, Sora. I do, but I need time to get over him. Not like I really want to, but I guess I'll have to since he's gone now." I sniffled, again.

He got up from the bench, I looked up at him and he offered his hand. "Come on, let's go home."

I nodded and took his hand. Pulling me up off the bench, we left Sunset Hill and went back to Destiny Island.

Lea's POV:

I traveled back to the Castle of Heartless with Isa looking for our Superior.

"Damn, he doesn't seem to be here, either." Isa said frowning.

I shrugged. "Well, you know him... He's always off doing something."

"What about your little buddy, Roxas? Maybe, he's talked to him."

I frowned. "Roxas?"

"Yeah, you remember him, right?"

I shook my head then his face flashed into my mind. "Oh yeah." I chuckled. "Roxas, I think I know where he's at."

"Lead the way," Isa said.

We headed to Twilight Town, where I knew he'd probably be up at the Clocktower. I could see the boy with blond hair sitting up there like always.

"Axel, hey! How'd it go? Wait.. Something's different about you." Roxas said with a confused look on his face. "What happened?"

"It's Lea. I'm back to my somebody form now. Same with Isa." I replied to him.

"What? How?"

"Don't know," Isa replied. "We just woke up in Radiant Garden returned to our somebody forms."

"Yeah, what Isa said."

Roxas still had the same look on his face. "I don't get it. Unless you guys died..."

"Technically, we did. Well, our nobody forms did, anyway." I confirmed to him.

"But then.. Wait, does Kairi know all this?" Roxas asked.

I scratched my head not knowing who he was talking about. "Kairi?"

"Who's Kairi?" Isa asked.

"You mean, you don't remember Kairi?" He asked the both of us.

Both Isa and I exchanged looks and shook our heads.

"But Kairi was your girlfriend! Er.. well, something like that." Roxas said looking at me.

"Girlfriend?" Isa looked at me as well. "You had a girlfriend?"

I shrugged. "I don't remember having a girlfriend."

Roxas shook his head. "Man, whatever happened to you must have really done a number on your memory."

"Seriously, who is this Kairi girl?" I asked him.

He sighed. "Alright, does the name Sora ring any bells in your head?"

"Yeah, sure he's your somebody. The little guy with the keyblade." I replied.

"Well, at least you know that part. Well, Kairi is one of Sora's best friends. They live on Destiny Island, along with their other friend Riku. If I were you Axel, I mean Lea, I'd go visit her and let her know that you're alive."

"But why would I go to that world if I don't even remember who she is?" I asked him.

Roxas scratched his head before replying "Look, you should sleep on it. Maybe, some of the memories will come back to you if you slept." He suggested.

"I hate to admit it, but your little friend is right Lea." Isa chimed in.

Roxas rolled his eyes. "Just give it a shot. Sleep on it and see if you remember anything."

"Alright, alright." I replied. "Thanks, Roxas. You're a good friend."

He smiled at me. "You're welcome. Now go."

I could tell from Isa's expression he was jealous. "Come on, Isa. Let's go back to the Castle."

"Fine," he said in an aggravated tone and followed me through the portal.

We walked from the portal into the Castle then up the stairs to the hallway of where our rooms were. His room was actually across from mine. He didn't say a word to me before he went into his room. I figured he was still aggravated and without a word to him, I went into my room. I laid down on my bed and went to sleep to try to regain some of my memories. Drifting off to sleep, I dreamt of a girl with red hair and blue eyes. I didn't know who she was, but I had wondered if I met her before she seemed so familiar. Then more images flashed through the dream of her being close to me, even in my room sleeping with her and among other things.

I woke up covered in sweat and gasping from the dream. I sat up in my bed and then I realized who the girl was, her name on the tip of my tongue.

"Kairi..."
