This fanfiction assumes the upcoming Dream Drop Distance game events (whatever they are, but i'm excited for it :D) do not happen for awhile. Now then, this fanfiction is directly after the end of KHII, so Sora and Kairi are reunited. But as they soon find out, life will be completely different, since they have Nobody personalities inside them. They may have merged and become whole, but that doesn't mean they're unable to talk to their original selves.)

And since Roxas and Namine can feel emotions, being special Nobodies, they're well aware of Sora and Kairi's feelings... and so may have a little fun along the way.

Namine sat on her's and Kairi's newest Dive Into The Heart, with her's and Kairi's images opposite each other, their important people in smaller circles beside them. The style though was half Destiny Islands, and half Castle Oblivion. It sorta made sense when one thought about it.

She waited, thinking Roxas would show up any second. He would be worried about her after all.

"Namine!"

"Roxas" she greeted, smiling up at him, inviting him to sit down beside her on the edge, like they had done on his Dive Into The Heart. He did so quickly, sitting close to her.

"What happened back there, Namine?" he asked, putting an arm around her shoulder, his other hand taking hers.

She giggled with a small blush, smiling at him. "Kairi and me just went through our own personal Dive Into The Heart, Roxas" she said simply, giggling at his surprised expression.

"Wow... was it cool?" he asked, smiling.

She nodded, smiling as she leaned against him. "It was, Roxas, truly" she said softly. "We faced these small, but kinda cute Heartless, then these intimidating high-ranking Nobodies... then we faced a copy of you"

"Me?" he said in complete surprise, staring at her.

"You, Roxas" she said simply, touching her lips to his briefly. "It caught us by surprise too... but it might be easier if I show you what happened"

"Okay" he said softly, but curiously as well.

She raised her other hand, touching a finger to his forehead. Roxas sorta flinched, many images rapidly passing in front of his eyes. It was a weird sensation, on both ends.

Roxas blinked several times, touching his head. "That was weird... but I saw what you and Kairi did" he said, then he smiled at her. "All of it... and it was pretty awesome"

She blushed a little, smiling softly as she held both his hands. "Thank you" she whispered softly, leaning against them.

They continued to talk for awhile, content on being with each other. Being a part of their original selves might not be so bad after all.

Sora jumped over the bent-over palm tree, leaning against it with hands behind his head, while Riku simply sat there on it. It was just like they had done before, only they were older, Kairi wasn't there, and the positions were off.

"Nothing's changed, huh?" Riku said, looking out at the sunset.

"Nope" Sora said, smiling. "Nothing will"

A second passed, then: "What a small world"

"But part of one that's much bigger" Sora answered, smiling.

Riku nodded slightly. "Yeah"

Sora looked at the sunset for another second or two, then he glanced up. "Hey Riku, what do you think it was, the door to the light?"

Riku smiled slightly, jumping off, Sora standing up straight. "This" he said, his finger pointed right toward his crown necklace.

Sora considered this, glancing down at it. "This?" he said, his hand over the crown necklace, but also his heart, which he thought was what Riku meant.

Riku nodded, smiling. "Yeah. It's always closer than you think" he said simply.

Sora simply looked at him for a moment, then smiled his goofy little smile.

"Sora!" they heard, which drew their attention. "Riku!"

Kairi ran up to them, waving just before she came close, then stopping to catch her breath, holding something.

"Hey, what's up?" he asked in concern.

She looked up, holding it out. She held a bottle, inside of which was a rolled up piece of paper. "Look" she said simply.

The paper held a small little mickey symbol on it.

"From the King?" he said, quickly taking it and getting the piece of paper out. He rolled it out quickly, Riku and Kairi stepping to his sides to read it as well.

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 your journeys so far, have been preparing you for this great new task that's waiting for you. I should have 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.

-Mickey

(For those wondering, this is the true contents of Mickey's letter, as seen from Re:coded :))

The three teens stood there, looking at each other.

"Well" Riku said finally. "I guess there's another journey to go on"

"Yeah" Kairi said, sounding a bit sad, but she looked up at them. "And this time, I'm going with you"

"Kairi?" Sora said, surprised. It's not that he didn't want her to be with him, he did; it was just that he worried about her.

She looked between them, her eyes nervous but determined. "Whatever happens next, I want to be there with you two. I've waited long enough" she said firmly. "If the journey's too dangerous for me, I'll seek training, so I can help you"

"I think that could be done" Sora said, thinking. "We could ask Yen Side to train her... Donald and Goofy did say he trained Mickey with the keyblade"

"We'll try to get this done" Riku said, but he shook his head slowly. "But there's no way we can guarentee it, Kairi... you understand?"

She nodded, smiling, but still looking determined. "I understand" she said simply, though there was a little sadness. "But still, I will try to convince him otherwise"

He nodded, smiling. "I bet you will" Riku said.

"Just be careful, Kairi" Sora said, holding her closer a bit nervously. "No matter what happens, I don't want to lose you"

She blushed faintly, but she nodded, kissing his cheek.

The three keyblade wielders looked toward the sunset, thinking about the future that awaited them.

And done :) Quite an interesting fanfiction, if I may say so myself, and I hope you all enjoyed it. Leave a review on what you thought

Counting the day's till Dream Drop Distance comes out, and hope it and any future KH games will continue to be awesome ;)
