It seems as if everybody is making their own version of KH3! Personally, I've been having this thought for a very long time, and said to myself, "Self, It seems like everybody is making a KH#, so, why can I?"

I don't own Kingdom hearts, the characters, settings and main/real plot. All that stuff belongs to Square Enix. BUT, if I did own it, Axel wouldn't of died :'(. I miss that "Got It memorized?" guy!

So, here we are! This chapter is shorter than expected, but it'll do. Also, this chapter contains seriousness and some major SoKai, so if you don't like it, live with it ;). Ohh, and Sora may seem OOC this chapter, but he'll be bubbly later on, don't worry. Also, don't forget to review, they make me smile, but NO flames! Well, On With The Show! ;) =) =D

*~King Mickey's POV~*

I return from Jimminy's journal and expect a warm welcome from Queen Minnie, but we have more important things in hand. I told Donald and Goofy what needs to be done and tell the others in the castle about it. I started on the letter to Sora right away, and this is the time where we need him the most.

...I wanted to tell you right away about memories from the past that sleep within you, and about the pieces that will tie you to your future. Sora, Riku, Kairi the truth behind the Keyblade has found its way through so many people, and now I know that it rests in your hearts. Sora... You are who you are because of those people, but they're hurting, and you're the only one who can end their sadness. They need you. It's possible that all of your journeys so far had been preparing you for this great new task that's waiting for you. I should of known there were no coincidences, only links in a much larger chain of events. And now the door to your next journey is ready to be opened...

-King Mickey.

I sent it as soon as I possibly could. I'm afraid that we will not be able to help my old, and new, friends in time. I walk alone through the corridors of my castle, waiting and waiting. I've already spoken with Yen Sid, Sora and Riku must complete the Mark of Mastery, I'm not sure about Kairi, though. She hasn't been through as much as Riku and Sora.

"Sora... Riku..." I said out loud, "Hurry."

*~Regular POV, Destiny Islands~*

Sora is sitting on the bent paopu fruit tree and Riku is standing next to him. Kairi suddenly came running, bottle in hand.

"Sora, Riku!" She called out.

The guys turned to her, curiosity written on their faces.

"Kairi!" Sora yelled, " What's that?" He indicated to the bottle.

Kairi smiled and said, "It's a message, from the King! I believe it's for all of us!"

Kairi was ecstatic, Riku seemed slightly worried, but overall curious. Sora... well Sora's the same, happy bubbly self.

He began reading what the King wrote, his smile fading during some parts, but appearing again when he finished.

Sora shrugged and Riku asked, "Looks like we have a mission, Sora. You ready?"

Sora gave him a baffled look and replied, "Of course I am! What do you expect?"

"I expected to chicken out after so many battle's you've seen" Riku retorted.

Sora just stated, "Yeahh, more than you ever had!"

Kairi decided to interrupted the on coming fight and said, "Well, I'm coming too! And no Sora, nothing you, or Riku, can say anything to change my mind."

Sora frowned, clearly worried. He stepped jumped off the tree and went towards Kairi to meet eye level. He hesitated, but said, "Kairi... I don't want you to get hurt..."

Riku started to smirk at all this love affair and said, "Yeah, Kai... I bet wise guy there is afraid that his girlfriend will get hurt."

Kairi and Sora blushed and Sora mumbled, "Not my girlfriend..."

Kairi gained her composer and replied, "Sora, remember our promise to Namine and Roxas? We told them we'll always be together, even if it means going through another journey. We must allow them to at least have that wish."

Sora hated to admit it, but managed to say, "Ok... Namine and Roxas helped us alot, the least we can to is repay the favor."

Riku shook his head and replied, "No. The least you can to is that you two get together and admit you love eachother."

Kairi and Sora yelled, "Riku!" and were about to hit him, but forgot this guy is sneaky/ So Riku, got away from them in less that two seconds flat and replied, "I'll see you two in the morning! Don't keep me waiting at the shore!"

The sun was setting when he ran away. Twilight was approaching, sort of in a romantic way for our he was gone, Kairi made a small, awkward cough and said, "Well, see you tomorrow, Sora." She smiled and walked away, but Sora grabbed her arm.

"Kairi..." he started, "You... you know I always want to keep you safe. It just... what if you get hurt? I'll never be able to forgive myself if-"

Kairi interrupted him and said, "Sora, I'm a Keyblade wielder, too. There's nothing to worry about. With you ,Sora, I'm always safe."

Sora smiled and Kairi giggled. unintentionally, they began leaning in. Closer and closer. They began closing their eyes and about one inch apart... until...

"SORA!" Riku yelled from behind a bush. Sora fell forward and Kairi stumbled back, both in shock.

Riku just fell forward, holding his stomach and saying, "I-I got you.. you good! HA!"

Sora mumbled something and started towards Riku. Riku isn't afraid of many things, but an angry Sora is one of those exceptions. Riku was walking back slowly as Sora was advancing.

"Sora... buddie! Uhh, c'mon, you now It's just a joke!." Riku said, trying to save his throat.

Sora replied, "Ha, so funny, I forgot to laugh."

Riku had two choices. 1) Face the angered Keyblade wielder or 2) Try to get a good night's sleep and face his angry wrath in the morning. Riku decide to face Sora with more energy.

"Well, see you love birds later, bye!" and Riku ran like it's no tomorrow.

Sora smirked and replied, "Hope he's actually gone."

Kairi giggled and noticed it was real late now.

"Umm, Sora. We should get going. We have a long journey ahead of us and we need our rest." Kairi suggested.

Sora frowned and said, "aww, can we at least sit a while and see the stars? This might be the last time in a long while we'll see these stars."

Kairi thought for a while and shook her head, "It wouldn't be fair if we saw these stars and Riku didn't. Maybe if we spend the night at King Mickey's castle, we could all see the stars, together."

Sora, smiling at her, said, "Ok, Kairi. Let's head home."

Kairi nodded an the two secret love-birds proceeded to head toward's Kairi's home, both wishing Riku never interrupted them

*~At Kairi's House~*

Sora stretched his arms and placed his hands on the back of his head. "Well, Kai" he said, "Here we are. Better get some rest."

Kairi giggled and said, "From what you told me, Donald and Goofy seem to be even more hyper than me from time to time."

Sora chuckled and said, "They're always smiling, even if something terrible's happening. You'll never meet stranger, happier friends than them."

Kairi looked him in the eye and said, "You wanna bet?"

Sora smiled and said, "I might be happier, but I'm not a stranger. Or at least to you."

Kairi replied, "And you never will be. Good Night, Sora."

Sora said, "Good Night, Kai." and he went up and gave her a hug.

Kairi was shocked, but returned the hug. Sora, unwillingly, pulled away. He smiled at her and resumed to walk to his home. When Sora stepped of the last set of stairs, he heard the bushes rustle. Sora gave it a good and long stare, but he shrugged and returned walked inside, dazed.

Kairi lived home alone, she never remembered her home world or her parents. She only remembered her Grandmother, who sadly, passed away when she became seven. that was a depressing time and she counted herself lucky that Sora and his family helped her. She's ok living alone, but it can sometimes be depressing.

Anyway, Kairi trudged her way to her room. She did her regular bathroom routine and changed into her pijamas. Kairi snuggled into her bed.

She kept her sleepy eyes opened for one more minute and she said, "I Love You... Sora."

She then fell into a deep sleep, having wonderful dreams about her upcoming adventure.

*~Sora's House~*

Sora came home and his parents gone, but he was now used to it. His parents always seem to not be around, like if they disappeared too.. It seems as if he disappeared again, it wouldn't matter.

Sora ran up to his room and locked the doors, mumbling something like "Riku..." and "Moment killer..." and "Soo close...".

Sora went to the bathroom, same stuff, yada yada yada, and then went to his desk. Sora is never an early sleeper, especially with a certain someone on his mind.

"Kairi..." he whispered, making sure nobody can hear him, "I never want you to get hurt. I love you too much too let anything bad happen..."

His mind then drifted to the King's Letter. Sora wondered, 'Who are these people that are hurting? Could it be Roxas? Or Namine? Or maybe even Axel? I wonder who...' He laid back in his chair and thought over the people that may need his then made himself get up from his desk and get to bed. He closed his eyes and fell into a, surprising, deep sleep.
