Hi all, I know I didn't finish my other fic, and to all the readers of that, I'm sorry. As for this one, it's more of a fool around kind of thing, but I promise I'm not going to ditch it. I'm more devoted to my other story on fictionpress (Link is in my profile) so I may not update too quickly with this one, but I promise you I will get it done. Read and review please, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the material in this story except for the plot, but that will soon change! -Hides the stash of swords and shovels behind him with a blanket- You didn't see anything...
Chapter 1: Dreams and memories
A young woman, at the age of 16, woke up from a deep sleep, breathing heavily. Traces of sweat could be seen on her forehead, gleaming in the dim light shining through the thick curtains of her window.
"It was all a dream, just a dream. It couldn't have been more. No, it was a nightmare." She was mumbling nervously for quite some time, until she heard the faint sound of her doorbell ringing. It was this sound that brought her to reality. She jumped when it rang, and it took her a few seconds to comprehend what was happening. When it all finally clicked, the bell had rung again, and she ran down the stairs quickly, yelling to her visitor.
"One moment, I'm coming!" She stumbled on the staircase, but caught herself on the railing. She rushed to the door that was just in front of the staircase and opened it up. There was a boy that looked her age, his ocean blue eyes shining, his golden brown hair gleaming, and his smile beaming. The girl blushed and felt heat rise in her cheeks, before greeting him.
"Sora! I'm still in my pajamas! What have I told you about showing up so early?" His smile got even wider and he stepped closer to the girl, with her dark red hair, with a purple sort of tone. Her soft blue eyes, almost looking like a light purple. He pulled her into his chest and wrapped his arms around her, his chin sitting lightly on the top of her head.
"C'mon Kairi, lighten up. I don't care what you look like, you're still the same, beautiful girl I know." He pulled away from her and suddenly got a serious look on his face.
"Did you have another dream? You have to tell me these things." She looked at her feet and stayed silent for a few moments. When she finally looked up into his entrancing eyes, she spoke in a light tone, her voice dispersing into a whisper.
"Yes, it was worse this time though. If this all turns out to be true, then we're in for a rough time." His expression changed from serious to uncomfortable as she let him in and they walked into the living room, sitting on a soft, beige couch, with green and brown patterns.
"Well, are you going to tell me?" He asked anxiously as she shifted so she could lean into him, as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Calm down Sora, you were always too antsy. Yes, I was planning on telling you. Well, it all started with you, Riku, and I..."
-Kairi's dream-
She was staring, staring into darkness. She couldn't move, she couldn't even think. All she could do was stare. She felt fear, but couldn't comprehend it. She knew nothing of what was happening around her. She understood nothing of who she was, where she was, anything. It was all just a blur to her. It was as if she had forgotten her entire existence.
"Kairi? Where are you?" Suddenly everything came back. Those words, they sounded so familiar. She knew it was him. The one connected to her heart.
"Sora!" She yelled, standing up, and looking around. It was all darkness, she tried reaching out in every direction, but felt nothing. Even underneath her feet, her hands just kept going down, down into the depths of nothingness.
"Sora? Can you hear me?" This time it was a different, yet still familiar voice to speak to her.
"No, he can't. He's trapped in the darkness, just the same as you, just the same as I. You and him, the love you share, it only makes the darkness tear apart even more. I was lucky enough to make contact with you, even if just for a little. I can feel my presence fading from you as I speak. You can't find him Kairi, not until you escape the darkness. We are all consumed, and it will be near impossible for one of us to escape, let alone the whole group. Our fate has been decided, and our destiny is being played out. Do not be afraid Kairi. After time, the darkness isn't so bad." She heard footsteps getting quieter, but she couldn't figure out where they were. It was echoing from all around her, it would be impossible to track them.
"What...what's happening?" Suddenly everything got blurry again, and she fell to the floor, letting a little scream out.
"Kairi? Kairi! Are you okay? Talk to me Kairi!" This time, nothing came back. She saw a light shining, getting closer. But it was dimming, and fast. It would not get to her in time. A figure was in the light. Her eyes widened in realization, and tried to scream his name, but she was unable to. She could only watch in fear as the light dimmed and he fell, into a never ending abyss.
-End of Kairi's dream-
"Wow." Was all the dazed looking boy could say. His spiked hair seemed to hang down a little, as it usually did when he was in thought. "So, do you really think that this is all...you know, real? It's not just a dream, but more like a prophecy or something?"
"I really don't know Sora. I'm scared, though. Are you absolutely sure you don't know what happened to Riku?" She looked up into his eyes, which softened at her gaze.
"Positive. I can tell you one thing, though. I think he's connected to the door." Ten words rang through his head for the rest of that day, bringing him through all of his memories and journeys once more. 'Remember, you are the one who will open the door.'
