Vanitas was bored, he couldn't think of a name starting with a 'K' and was suitable for that girl. Xehanort hadn't shown up yet and neither did that girl. He looked at the white-haired boy and thought of waking him up. He would definitely know her name.

"Well, I guess it was Riku right? Let's see what you know about her."

Vanitas bound the hands of Riku with black ropes and touched his forehead again, but now with the opposite effect. Riku slowly opened his eyes like he had slept for a decade and the first thing he saw, was Sora but now with black hair and yellow gold eyes. Wait...

"Sora?"
Vanitas looked at this Riku-person while saying: "I think I like it more when she says it."

Riku was confused. What happened to the hair of his friend? And his eyes... Riku looked better and saw that his friend was wearing the same armour like that boy from before who had defeated him.

".. Don't tell me I lost to you?"
"Of course you did! What are you telling me? That you accidently got caught up in those ropes? You totally lost!"
Vanitas didn't know why he was this childish about it, but he said it without thinking about it. He tried to sound not too childish while he said: "Euhm... I mean that it was a good fight, but you could never have defeated me."
"How about a rematch?"
"What?! You can't call for a rematch! I won fair and square!"
"We need to fight three times before saying that you won."
"No way, it was a fair match and I won. Deal with it."
"If you call that fair..."
"It was! Don't mess with me; you're the one who cheated!"
"I played fair..."
"Really? Then why did you involve Kairi in this? You were definitely cheating!"

Vanitas stopped and didn't hear Riku's response. What had he just said? He said her name... Kairi. Such a lovely name, but why did he knew it? Was it like she said… he just needed to remember everything? He didn't care about what Riku was saying to him and grabbed him by his shirt.

"You're going to tell me everything about Kairi that you know. Right now."
"Wow, I didn't know you could be this frightening."
"Just tell me!"

Vanitas held on to Riku's T-shirt with two hands now and he wanted to get to know her, he really did. It was something he couldn't resist, his whole being screamed to him that she was important and he couldn't let her go.

"Well, why don't you ask her yourself?"

A light came from the sky, it seemed to be a shooting star at first but then it came much closer and before they knew it, the light crashed against Vanitas back and he fell on Riku. The light seemed to fade and he heard a female voice saying: "This is much harder than it looks!"

It was her! Vanitas didn't know why, but he felt a strong light spreading in his chest and his head turned a light shade of red. He didn't dare to move with her on top of him...

"Ow, sorry! I guess that the star shard is more precise than I thought."

Kairi got off of Vanitas and immediately after she was gone, Vanitas stood up and tried to hide his slightly red face. His chest felt warm in her presence, what was she doing to him?

"Well, you're right on time. He wants to know everything about you." Riku said, smiling from ear to ear.

Now it was Kairi's turn to blush. She looked from Riku to Vanitas and back.

"Euhm... What does he want to know? Doesn't he remember everything yet?"
"I remembered your name."

Vanitas turned towards her and he was able to keep his face from turning red again. He summoned his keyblade and had a huge amount of adrenaline running through his veins.

"Let's fight for real this time, maybe I'll remember more."
Vanitas disappeared in a flash and reappeared behind Kairi, whispering in her ear: "I won't hold back this time, Kairi."

Kairi was a bit shocked that he was this close to her, but she smiled and summoned her keyblade while turning and attacking him. He blocked and laid an attack on her, but she blocked it too.

"Well, then I won't hold back either."

Vanitas couldn't help but smile at her comment, she was so confident. He decided to play with her a bit before showing his real powers. He laid several attacks on her and saw the openings in her fight style, there weren't much and it only lasted a couple of seconds but that was enough for him. He attacked her again and immediately after that, he found an opening at her right waist and scratched her body through her dress. But something was wrong. Riku looked at Vanitas in pity, but it was too late. Kairi looked furious! Vanitas backed down a bit, a bit scared of the girl in front of him. She looked at the scratch in her dress and then at Vanitas. If a look could kill, then he was definitely dead.

"Sora, you really have to ruin the dress, do you?! Well, what's coming next is your own fault..."

Kairi pointed her keyblade at the ground in front of her and held on to it with her two hands. Then she closed her eyes and a circle of light started to surround her. Vanitas didn't know what this magic was, but it was no good... Wind started to surround Kairi and the light seemed to be a wall around her. Suddenly, the light dispersed and formed a thousand little light orbs.
Kairi pointed her keyblade towards Vanitas and from the moment she opened her eyes, all the orbs flew towards Vanitas with an amazing speed. Vanitas let the dark aura surround him, this was no child's play! He had to focus and he blocked most of the orbs, but five or six still came through. They were just too fast! What was this girl? Finally, the orb attack finished and Vanitas looked in surprise at the girl in front of him. She didn't seem to have used much of her powers, but Vanitas had already called the dark power to hold of her attack. And he wasn't able to block them all.

"Not bad."
"Always so surprised," She looked concerned, "I'm sorry Sora but this is going to hurt a bit."

Kairi smiled at him and flashes of her crossed his mind. His head hurt so much that he held his hands on it to hold it together. An explosion of memories flashed through his head. So many memories... Are they all his?

"What is this? Make it stop!"
"No, you have to remember."

Kairi walked towards him and when she stood in front of him, the memory-flow had stopped. He could remember everything. Everything that happened along the way... how Riku was defeated, how Leon was pierced and how he decided to accept the deal. He looked up at the most important person in his whole life. How could he forget her? He stood up and hugged her.

"I... Kairi.. This wasn't supposed to happen..."
"It's alright; we're here together now, right?"
"Could you ever forgive me?"
"That already happened. You were kind of sexy when you were such a badass."

A blush covered Sora's face and he stopped their embrace. He scratched with his right hand on the back of his head and looked nervous at Kairi. He didn't know what to say to that.

"Euhm... What are you saying Kairi? That's... kind of provocative..."

Kairi started laughing and he laughed with her, it seemed ages ago that they had been together like this. He looked at Riku and he was smiling along with them. But then their happy moment was ruined by reality that knocked on the door.

"Well, well, if this isn't a happy reunion."

Sora turned around and looked straight at Xehanort who was accompanied by eleven dark cloaks. Kairi held on to his hand, but he didn't feel any warmth... the only feeling he got through was fear and hatred.

I just had to make this chapter a bit more joyful than the others. I'm sorry if you don't like it.
