LOL NEEEEEEXT CHAAAAAAPTER..... NOBODIES BECOME SOMEBODIES Chapter Four: Warnings and Affections After walking out of the cave, Sora and Kairi saw that Riku wasn't alone. Their faithful trio of friends, Wakka, Tidus, and Selphie, were walking around with him. "We're over here!" Kairi shouted to them. "It's about time we found you two!" Selphie crossed her arms, "I didn't wake up this early for nothing!" Kairi laughed. Her and Sora went over to where they all stood. Sora then took Riku to the side and whispered, "What's your deal?" "Huh?" "Why did you come get us so soon if you knew that-" "Sorry. I couldn't stall any longer," Riku admitted, "I was done with the sail fast, and I was going to wait more. Then, they came along wondering where you guys had gone." "Oh...I see," Sora took a very deep sigh of disappointment. "It's okay," Riku assured him, "It will all work out." "Sure. I guess." "So, are you all ready to go?" Tidus asked. "Yep!" Kairi answered, "So, why did you all come here anyway?" Wakka added, "Well, we didn't want last night to be our last goodbye. We all decided to meet up with you for when you sailed off." "We'll miss you three so much!" Selphie squeezed Kairi tightly, "I'm going to be stuck with the boys! How will I last so long without another girl around?" "You'll survive," Kairi reassured her, "Just find some of our other classmates in town." "But they aren't my best friends like you are!" After everyone had said their farewells, and Kairi, Riku, and Sora were getting on the raft, Tidus asked them, "So, when will you come back?" "We're not sure," said Riku, "But, we will come back sometime. Don't worry." "That better be a promise!" Wakka stated. "Definitely!" Sora answered. "You three stay out of trouble!" Selphie teased. "Sure thing, Selphie," Kairi added in a tone of sarcasm. The raft had set sail and they began to slowly drift away from the island as they watched their friends wave in the distance. Sora couldn't believe it. They were actually leaving! He felt relief. He looked forward to the unknown future ahead of them. However, his gleeful emotions began to sink in an instant. After glancing back at the island once again, he saw something that startled him. For a split second, he could've sworn he saw the island crumbled in pieces and the morning sky become pitch black. Then, it faded back to normal. "What!" he moved to the edge of the floating vessel to get a better look. Nothing. Just the same. "Sora? What's wrong?" Riku was concerned. Could I have imagined it all? Sora was so confused. It looked just like that night...Why did it seem like- "Earth to Sora!" Riku waved his hand in front of Sora's face. "Oh!" Sora looked at his two friends, "Sorry, I just thought I saw something. I'm fine," he lied. "Okay...if you're sure," Kairi turned back around to look up ahead, her legs dangling over the side of the raft. What am I worrying about? Sora tried to convince himself, It...wasn't really changed...was it? xxxx Donald Duck wandered around the green, shrub covered yard of the Disney Castle. It was very quiet...and a bit too quiet and peaceful for his liking. Life had been so boring for him and Goofy after they had to say goodbye to their best friend and companion. He had hoped the king would find a way for them to visit Sora at one point, but it had been taking too long to figure out. He was beginning to think he would never get to see Sora ever again. The silence of the outside was broken when he heard snoring behind a sculpted bush. He sighed, That's Goofy, alright. Donald didn't have the slightest inkling to get him up, though, since there wasn't really any reason to wake him at the moment. Whoosh! The sound behind Donald sounded awkwardly familiar. It can't be. That should all be over with. He slightly gulped and slowly turned around to face- ...nothing. Nothing was there at all. "What!" He rubbed his eyes and looked again. "I must be hearing things." Donald shook it off and began walking to the center of the garden to the gummi garage entrance. He wanted to check up on Chip and Dale's latest modifications. Just as he was about to reach for the door, he heard the same sound again. Just ignore it. Just ignore it...he closed his eyes as he murmured to himself. Then, he heard the noise at least twenty times all in sync. His opened his eyes reluctantly. They grew wide when he realized he was surrounded by heartless. "WAK! GOOFY, WAKE UP! WE HAVE TROUBLE!" He summoned his staff and fire flew straight toward the creatures. "Phew! That was easy...Wait a second." The heartless reappeared as if nothing happened. "Watch out, Donald!" King Mickey came out of nowhere and began to fight heartless with his keyblade. "Your Majesty!" Donald was worried, "What's going on?" "I don't know how all this started, but these are not the same enemies we have faced before." Donald was thoroughly confused, "What are you saying?" "I agree with Donald!" Goofy ran toward them, bashing the black shadows out of the way with his shield. He now stood in front of them. "They all look like the same heartless we have fought before." "Sure, they look the same, but they don't go away after they are hit. Apparently, they can't even feel our attacks." The king was also not sure what danger they were facing. "Even so, when one of them attacked me I could feel the hit. So, they aren't completely illusions." "What do we do then?" "We need to find a way out of here, Donald. Maybe the worlds are accessible again." "What about Queen Minnie and Daisy?" Goofy wondered. "They are safe in the basement chamber with the Cornerstone of Light. No harm can come to them as long as they stay there. I told them we would come right back from our destination." "But, where will that be?" Donald asked. "We need help, so you know where we must go." xxxx "So, what do we have so far?" "Well, Riku," Sora brought up his fishing line from the water, "We've caught a total of..." "EIGHT!" Kairi slammed the bucket filled with fish in front of him with glee. "Wow," Riku was surprised, "You could've stopped a long time ago. We just need enough for tonight." "Yeah, but you know how Sora gets. He can't stop at just one," Kairi laughed. So, that evening, they set up their little fire in the middle of the raft, cooking their scrumptious dinner. "It's a good thing we brought a suitable container for lighting the tinder for our fire. We don't want our raft burning up." Sora added jokingly. That made Kairi laugh again, "Yeah, could you imagine? We'd be gonners!" Riku sighed with a smirk on his face, That's so much like them to laugh at things like that. They sure are perfect for each other, aren't they? After a hearty meal of cooked fish and Kairi's cookies (that her mom made), the three of them lay on their backs, gazing at the sky. The campfire was still ablaze. "This has been pretty relaxing, hasn't it?" Riku brought up. "Of course," Kairi agreed. Sora sat up suddenly, looking across the ocean at the blazing sunset. "Sora?" Riku sat up as well. Sora didn't answer. "You've been acting strange ever since we left. Are you sure everything is alright?" Sora turned to look at him, "I've just...been doing a lot of thinking lately." He turned back around, his head resting on his upturned knees. "Trust me, Riku," Kairi stated, "Sora's fine. He's just in his own little world at the moment. Isn't that right, Sora?" "Sure," Sora didn't turn around this time. "Well, if you say so," Riku yawned and lay down once again. "You know, I think I'm ready for some sleep." He turned over, facing the opposite direction of the two friends, "See you at dawn." Kairi smiled, "Okay. Goodnight then." Sora and Kairi just stayed where they were for a long time, not saying a word. Sora was still thinking of what he saw back at the island, while Kairi was just admiring the view. The silence was broken when the sound of Riku's snoring filled their ears. It started with a quick chuckle, and then another...and another...until both of them were bursting out in perpetual laughter. They couldn't stop until they realized they had laughed so much that tears were coming out of their eyes. Kairi stood up in the midst of holding her stomach from the pain of laughing so hard. "I'm not trying to purposely laugh at Riku but...but, it's just too funny," she giggled a little more, unable to contain herself. "I know," Sora agreed, "It's hard to stop." Kairi now walked over to her friend and sat next to him. "Sora, it's been ages since we've been able to laugh like this, huh?" "Yeah, it has. I can't remember the last time I did this." "Well, I remember perfectly!" Kairi held her pointer finger up to her head. "It was only a few days before we started building our first raft those few years ago. Us three were walking along the beach and you somehow tripped and fell right into the water! You were soaked from head to toe!" "Oh, right," Sora rubbed his head, turning away, "That's why I didn't want to remember." "But, I couldn't help it! You looked so goofy with your hair all flat from being wet. It almost covered your entire face!" "It was not funny! It was embarrassing!" Sora protested, now looking her straight in the eye. Kairi grinned, "You're so cute when your mad!" "Uh!" Sora was taken aback as his face began to turn beet red at her sudden statement. Kairi had to laugh once again because of his reaction. After she stopped, she looked up at the stars. "Oh," she was a little shocked, "I guess I didn't realize it was already nighttime." "Are you tired at all? Maybe we should get our rest as well." Sora almost stood to get a pillow when- "Wait. I want to stay up just a little longer. The sky is...so beautiful tonight." "Okay. If you want to." Sora couldn't say no...just like last time. Another few minutes passed by before he looked over at Kairi. "Hey, Kai..." he noticed she was shivering a little. "Yes?" "Aren't you cold?" "Oh, no, I'm okay. It's only a little chilly, that's all." "C'mon, you don't have to lie like that. Here, I'll get something." Sora walked over to their supplies and pulled out a thick blanket. He went back over to Kairi and draped it around her shoulders. He sat down next to her again. "Is that better?" "Yeah. A little bit." she still wasn't as comfortable as she would have liked. Sora, building up some courage, started to move nearer to her. When he felt he was close enough to keep Kairi warm, he wrapped his arms around her form and pulled her close into his embrace. As he rested his head on top of hers, he asked, "How about that?" Kairi felt herself beginning to blush from being so close to him. She simply replied, "Thanks." Sora smiled, "Sure thing." His nerves were beginning to fade. He guessed it was because he was starting to get used to being around Kairi more often...and because he was almost able to confess how he felt about her back at the island. "Thank you," Kairi repeated. Sora chuckled under his breath, "You already said that." "No, I mean it." she pulled back just enough to be able to look at him. "Sora..." She did it again. Every time she said his name he felt a strange knot form in his stomach. Sora looked down, gazing at her beautiful facial features. She spoke again. "Thanks for always being there...for me." Kairi smiled that gorgeous smile of hers, and Sora could think of only one word to describe it. Stunning. The two stared at each other for a little longer. Sora was having such a hard time holding himself back from showing Kairi how much he loved her. His body started moved on it's own as he bent down to place a short, sweet kiss on Kairi's forehead. Kairi wasn't the only one surprised. Sora's mind was racing so fast. This was NOT normal for the two of them. It seemed so awkward, yet at the same time so... ...right. As he pulled back for their eyes to meet another time, one of his hands moved up to gently stroke her cheek. "Kairi, I..." He didn't know what to say next. Her beauty always made it difficult for him to form the right words. Kairi's heart was thumping so hard that it felt like it was about to burst. She wanted to say something, too, but she couldn't speak, and she didn't know why. The next thing Sora said made her tremble, but not from the cold. "Would it be okay if...if I kissed you, Kairi?" Kairi's eyes grew wide. She didn't think he would ask so soon. Sure, she wanted it to happen, but...was she ready? Sora grew anxious with each passing second of no response. Was this the wrong time to ask her? Kairi made her decision. She knew her emotions for the boy next to her were genuine. Was this love? Maybe. She wanted to find out. Sora saw Kairi give him a small nod. "Are you sure?" he asked. She nodded again, "Yes..." The look of longing on Kairi's face made Sora's hesitation to act cease. As he leaned in, Kairi tilted her head on instinct, closing her eyes in anticipation. Sora paused for a few seconds when they were millimeters away, just to hold on to the moment. They both savored the feeling of each other's breath on their skin. Sora's eyelids then fluttered shut as he closed the gap for their lips to meet. Kairi melted at his touch, unable to move. She didn't know what to think of it. Only that it was the most exhilarating thing she had ever experienced. When she was finally able to focus, Kairi kissed him back, wanting to show him that she felt the same way. Realizing that Kairi was now pressing her lips to his made Sora feel light headed and dizzy. Was this actually happening? It all seemed like a crazy dream... ...a wonderful, breathtaking dream. He moved his arm, currently around Kairi's shoulders, farther down so it wrapped around her waist, trying to pull her as close to him as possible. Kairi responded by placing her arms around Sora's neck. They broke apart only for an instant, to catch their breath, and then they kissed again. This time they weren't simply pressing lips together, but slowly moving in time against each other. With each passing moment the kiss grew more passionate. Sora's head moved from side to side, changing their position every now and then. They both couldn't stop their actions. Their emotions were taking over. They had both kept their feelings for each other bottled up for so long. Now that the moment had come, they didn't want it to end. But it had to. They reluctantly pulled apart, breathing heavily. "Wow..." was all Kairi could say at that point. Sora's other hand moved from her cheek, and it now ran through her hair. "Kairi...you're the world to me." He wasn't lying, as cheesy as the phrase sounded. "Never forget that." Kairi replied, "You know I won't." She turned around and leaned against him with content. "Good night...Sora." Sora smiled as his arms wrapped around her figure once more, sleep almost taking them. "Goodnight." (YAY! SoKai!!!! <3 Woot!)

Okay! Lexi is good then =D Oh, and to VenRoxKH, I forgot to also mention that I like your red color effects on "dear agony"

^ditto to what they said. First is GREAT

This one below was made before BBS came out and it was just a random project, but I hope you all still like it =3

lol actually the reason the XXX's are there is because when i post them at fanfiction.net everything is automatically centered and it actually looks like a neat 'dividing scenes' line that way i apologize if it bugs you. sorry if it doesn't show up that way here, i just copy and paste it as a post (as for more, i will post the next chapter soon!)

Thanks for feedback (and to those wondering, all these chapters are posting started YEARS ago so they're old but the story is still going. I've been working on my latest chapter which is Chap. 6) ANYWAYS< here's the next one: NOBODIES BECOME SOMEBODIES Chapter Three: What I Hide Sora looked out of his bedroom window. There was so much going on in his mind at the moment. He was reminiscing about when he saw the storm that one night out of the very same window. His entire life had changed in a split second. He couldn't believe how long ago that had happened. It seemed like only yesterday. The events of the next morning also drifted around in his thoughts. Even though he had been to so many worlds, Sora had no idea what to expect out in the ocean. Who knew? They could end up finding another island the next day after leaving. It was also a possibility for them to not find another inhabited place for weeks. Whatever the case, he was ready. It was about time he left the monotonous days on the island for yet another adventure. Being with his two best friends was all he could ever ask for. He couldn't fathom that he went so long without seeing them at all. The majority of that year was pretty much a blur to him. At one moment he was walking along a grassy plain. The next, he was awaking from a deep slumber in a strange looking chamber. If only he knew what took place! He had so many unanswered questions! Even with the many adventures he went through, Sora felt like he had missed something...and it was important. He knew he would be able to figure it out someday. He just wished it would come soon. It made him uneasy. Speaking of uneasy, why did he have to say "yes" to Kairi's request? He had been dreading that moment for so long and he didn't have the guts to say "no"! Sora sighed. He knew it was impossible to refuse anything Kairi suggested. It was impossible to say "no" at all because her beauty always bewildered him to the point where he could barely move or talk. Why did he have to feel that way? He hated that he liked her so much. He hated the fact that he wanted to admit it to her but he couldn't. Every day that went by without revealing his secret made being around her more and more nerve racking. Maybe...just maybe, if he could get enough courage the next morning, he could tell Kairi his true feelings. If he did that, the horrible nerves would settle down. At least more than normal. It was decided! He was going to do it! xxxxXXXXxxxxXXXXxxxxXXXXxxxx "Evrer! Why is my goblet NOT here yet?" The creature appeared before the mistress with the goblet in his hands. "I'm sorry milady. It's right here." "It's about time!" she yanked it from his grasp. "What took you so long?" "Well, it...it's just that I couldn't find-" "Oh, forget it! I don't want to listen to your pathetic excuses." The woman placed the goblet on the windowsill. She stared at it in awe. "My darling," she stroked the object as a mischievous grin appeared on her face, "You will soon be used for my evil intentions...and no one can stop me." "Lady Jazel!" She turned around, "Yes?" "Commander Haddar, reporting!" the soldier in the doorway saluted her. "What news do you bring?" Jazel inquired. The soldier spoke loudly, "Maam! The troops have located the Memory Mirror as you requested! It is being brought up here at present!" "Thank you Haddar." She gave a quick wave of her hand, "You are dismissed." The soldier left and Evrer walked up to where Jazel stood and bowed, "When are you putting this plan into action, your grace? I anxiously await the results." "As you well should. I hope to start soon." Jazel glanced at the mesmerizing goblet once again, "The heroes are in for something special." xxxxXXXXxxxxXXXXxxxxXXXXxxxx Kairi's vision was blurry as she looked around her sunlit room. "Morning already?" She rubbed her eyes and yawned sleepily. "I better pack my things and get ready so we can leave soon." She got dressed and walked into her bathroom. She brushed her teeth and combed her hair, along with all her other morning routines. For a moment, she stared in the mirror at her reflection. Why I am getting my hopes up? He would never fall for a girl like me...I don't think I'll ever have the guts to tell him that I...I... "Kairi, your friends are here!" her mother yelled up the stairs "Don't make them wait too long!" "I'm coming!" Man, I better hurry! Kairi quickly got everything she needed and carried it downstairs. Her mom stopped her and embraced her before she reached the door. "Now, be careful, sweetie...and have fun." "Don't worry, Mom," Kairi reassured, "Sora and Riku will keep me safe." Her mom let go and handed her a package. "Now, here are some goodies for the three of you. Don't eat them up too fast." Kairi laughed as she took it, "Don't worry. We won't," she opened the door. "Bye! I love you!" Her mom waved back before the door slid closed. "Let's get going!" Sora exclaimed. The friends took a small boat over to the island. After arriving, they went over to the raft and started getting everything set up. After placing their needed belongings on it, and tying them down so they wouldn't slide of with possible rocky currents, Riku grabbed some cloth. "I'm going to get the sail ready," he said. "It shouldn't take too long, and then we can head out." Kairi walked over to him, "Ummm...Riku?" "Yes, Kairi?" "Sora and I are going to take a quick walk while we wait for you. Just let us know when you're finished." Riku was fine with it, "No problem." "Come on, Sora!" Kairi grabbed his arm and led him in the direction of the waterfall. Sora looked behind him to see Riku giving him a thumbs up. Oh boy...Sora gulped long and hard, I guess this is it. They both reached the plant covered entrance and Sora pushed the vines aside. "After you," he let Kairi step in first. Sora walked in after she did, and, as always, it was a little hard to see the pathway until you reached the sunlit room. He walked slowly with his hands feeling around to find the way. When he finally reached where he could see, Kairi was standing in front of where the keyhole for the islands used to be. Sora had flashbacks of seeing Ansem for the first time. He didn't know it was Ansem back then, when talking to the hooded figure, but he remembered sensing a very dark presence. It gave him chills just thinking about it. Not ever knowing of the adventure ahead, he had tried sounding brave when talking back to the man, but inside he'd actually felt a little fear building up. Sora would never forget that feeling. It was even worse when he had to fight Ansem...actually, Xehanort's heartless, and defeat him for good. That's the part I don't miss about my adventures, Sora thought, Knowing that my friends were in danger and that it was all up to me to save them was...scary. Yet I somehow was able to pull through that feeling to win... Kairi looked behind her, "Sora? What's wrong?" "Oh, nothing...I'm just thinking." "Are you sure you're okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that...many memories always keep coming back to me. I can never shake them off." "You don't mind that, though, right?" "Sometimes. Parts of the memories are good, and others...I'd rather be rid of them." Kairi started walking around, looking at all the random wall scribblings from their past, "But, didn't those times help you become stronger than you once were?" "I guess so." "So, in a sense, you should be happy you still remember them." "Yeah...you've grown a lot, too, Kairi." Kairi glanced back at him, "You really think so?" "Sure. Riku told me you're quite the fighter now." "Well, sort of. I'm not that good still." She smiled awkwardly. Her head then looked down, "At that moment, when Riku handed me the keyblade, all I could think about was protecting the ones I cared about. It's all quite a blur actually. I didn't have any skill. I went off of a whim, just trying my best to fight back. All I wanted to do was help." Kairi spun around and walked a little farther away. She stopped and wrapped her arms around herself. Sora was a bit shocked...he thought he heard her crying. This wasn't like her at all. Kairi was a strong-willed person who he had never heard cry with such sincerity before. He wanted to say something...anything to cheer her up...but he wasn't sure what to do to comfort her. He had no idea why she was sad. Sora didn't have to do anything in the end. Kairi explained herself. "I hated it. I hated the fact that I couldn't do anything. Before that moment when I finally was able to fight, I always felt like I was worthless. I always...wanted to help you guys, but I got in the way so many times. I was always the problem that you had to fix. I was always kidnapped like I was so pitiful that I couldn't even save myself from anything!" You could hear her choking sobs in between words, "I felt like everything was my fault. I just...just didn't want you and Riku to know how I truly felt. I hid that emotion behind my smiles and fake courage because...I thought you both would think I was weak if I told you. I...I just..." Suddenly, Kairi felt Sora's strong embrace around her. "Kairi..." he spoke from behind, trying to fight back tears himself, "Don't...ever...think that you're worthless." Sora was stunned at his own emotions at the moment. He felt a single tear drip down his face. "You're special, Kairi, and don't let anyone make you believe otherwise." He let go and turned her around so he could look her straight in the eyes, "Besides..." he smiled at her, "...you're probably the bravest girl I've ever known." Kairi smiled back through sobs. Sora used one of his hands to wipe moisture from her cheek. "C'mon..." Sora walked over to their drawing of each other and motioned for her to come over by him. They both sat down and looked at it, not saying anything. Just staring at the lines of the drawing together spoke louder than words. Sora felt he had do something to show his true feelings...He figured he wouldn't have the guts to actually say it at that moment. So, he slowly placed his hand by Kairi's, and then he held it, their fingers intertwining. Kairi then surprised him by laying her head on his shoulder. She broke the silence, "Thank you...Sora." Sora had to regain his composure before saying, "You're welcome." "I...never knew you cared so much." "Of course I do. It really hurt me to see you cry like that. Are...Are you alright now?" "Yeah...I think so...It took a lot of guts for me to admit everything to you. But, it was worth it." she sighed with content. Wow...At that moment Sora realized Kairi was much more courageous than he could ever be. She was able to admit something to him that she had bottled up for a long time...Something he thought he could never do...or maybe he could... If she could do it...So can I... "Kairi," Sora spoke softly, "There...There's something I need to tell you." Kairi craned her neck so she could look up at him, "What is it?" Sora then looked down into her captivating, blue eyes. He was almost lost in a trance. His free hand stroked her burgundy strands of hair. "It's true...I do care about you...more than anyone else." Looking at his eyes, Kairi had never seen such a compassionate look in them before. She started to feel herself go numb at his gaze. It felt as though millions of butterflies were fluttering around in her stomach. "But...much more then that...is that I..." Sora now used both of his hands to cup Kairi's face, "...I think you're beautiful, Kairi." Kairi felt her heart jump up to her throat. Could it be? Could he really...? "I could honestly say that I think I'm...that I'm in lo-" "SORA! KAIRI! ARE YOU GUYS READY YET?" RIKU! Sora wanted to deck his best friend at that moment. WHY did he have to interrupt at that particular moment? Sora sighed heavily and put his hands down, "I...guess we need to go." They both stood up and Kairi put her hand on Sora's shoulder. "Don't worry," she told him, "You'll get a chance to tell me." Kairi leaned up and pressed her lips against Sora's cheek. She held them there for a few seconds before pulling back to laugh at Sora's wide-eyed expression. "I...I..." Sora was at a loss for words. Kairi took his hand in hers, "Let's get out of here!" She started walking out of the cave and Sora followed suit. He placed his fingers on the spot where Kairi kissed him. Oh, boy...What's next?... xxxxXXXXxxxxXXXXxxxxXXXXxxxx Sora, Riku, and Kairi: Thank you all so much for what you have done. I know it wouldn't have been possible to defeat Organization XIII without you three. The worlds are now starting to disconnect with each other once again. I don't know when we will get to see each other again, but if any trouble ever starts, I will find a way to reach you. Sora, Donald and Goofy send their greetings and told me to say to always keep smiling, even in the hard times. Riku, never lose your light. Even though it may seem to flicker out at times, it's always there. ...and, Kairi, always be there for your friends and keep your pure heart shining. Sincerely, KING MICKEY It had almost been a year since he had sent that letter to them. King Mickey now wandered in the castle halls, looking for his trusty knight and magician. He was making the normal rounds of seeing that everything was in proper order. Then, something caught him off guard. He heard a faint buzzing noise behind him and turned around. There was a line of colored, fuzzy static trying to make a form. He eyed it very suspiciously. In a flash of light, a shadow appeared. "Xehanort!" he ran toward the figure, but he fell straight through it. Looking behind once again, he saw the image slowly begin to fade away. "This...is not normal..."

Chapter 2 here! Please read and comment (I love hearing feedback and replies) Have fun reading! More to come! NOBODIES BECOME SOMEBODIES Chapter Two: Blush...and Run Away Sora used his free hand to wipe sweat from his brow. Riku and him were carrying large pieces of wood to the shore, where the raft was being made. The heat beaming down from the sun was definitely making it worse, and this was one of those times when Sora wished he didn't live on a tropical island. His mind started to wander to his past adventures again. He imagined the snowy mountains of China where he and his friends met Mushu and Mulan. Just thinking about the cold weather made him feel a little better, but not too much. "Sora? You doing okay over there?" Riku inquired, "You're not getting tired, are you?" "Of course not!" Sora didn't want to admit how exhausted he was, "I've never felt better!" Riku chuckled. "Liar." "Oh, and you aren't the least bit tired yourself?" Kairi yelled over to them from the almost completed raft, "C'mon, you two, stop dillydallying! Quit your jabbering and get over here!" "Sorry!" They both replied. As the afternoon slowly progressed for the three friends, they surprisingly ended up finishing the raft. They had only started it a few days before and were amazed at how fast their progress had been. "Good going team!" Kairi cheered. "Wow...We're actually done," Riku said. Sora rested in his usual "hands behind the head" pose. He hadn't felt such a great sensation of accomplishment like this in a while. "How about we do something to celebrate?" Kairi suggested. "I'm all for that!" Riku raised his hand. "How about you, Sora? You ready for some fun!" Kairi glanced over at him. "Uh..." Sora was taken aback by her smile again, "Um, yeah...definitely!" "Let's go to my house! My mom could even whip us up some cake if I asked. We should invite Selphie and the others, too!" "Good idea, Kairi. Your mom's cooking skills are always up to par," Riku agreed. "I can go get the others," Sora told them. "You two can start getting ready at Kairi's." As they parted and headed in different directions, Sora couldn't help but think about Kairi. It hadn't always been like this. He knew the reason he got so nervous around her, and it all began only a few weeks after the return home from Organization XIII's stronghold. He just had to go look in the secret place again back then! He just had to notice Kairi's continuation of their drawing! Come to think of it, Kairi and him had never been in the secret place together since they came back to the islands. He didn't mind, though. He didn't want the subject of the secret place or the drawing to come up. However, Sora knew it was inevitable, since he knew Kairi still went there by herself every now and then. He would eventually have to face her and talk about it. He just hoped it wouldn't be soon. The party at Kairi's was a great time for everyone. They ate cake and ice cream, played a few games, and mostly just talked in the living room. Wakka brought up the conversation of blitzball, as he always did. Tidus kept asking Riku and Sora if they wanted to duel the next day, early in the morning before they left (and with the regular wooden swords). Selphie and Kairi were off in their own little world, having their normal girl chit-chat. They giggled whenever they glanced over at the boys. The guys were not about to ask them what was so funny. At the end of the party, Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka left, wishing their friends good luck with their trip on the raft the next morning. Sora, Riku, and Kairi stayed behind to make sure they had everything ready so they could leave as soon as possible. After making sure all preparations had been made, Riku and Sora were ready to head home. Riku walked out the front door, and before Sora had the chance to do the same, Kairi tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey, Sora?" Oh great...Sora turned around, "Yeah, Kairi? What's up?" "Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to say that I'm really glad you came up with this idea. It'll be so much fun to go out to the ocean together! It's what we always talked about when we were younger. I'm glad we're finally able to do so." "Oh, it's no problem. I'm excited, too. I mean, it won't be as exciting as fighting heartless and traveling to worlds, but I'm still looking forward to it." Kairi turned around with her back to him. Had he said something wrong? "You're right. We had some good times then, even if I didn't get to see you much. To tell you the truth, I actually kind of miss that exhilarating feeling," Kairi admitted. Sora was in complete shock. This whole time Kairi had actually felt the same way he and Riku did. There was a long pause, and Kairi faced him again. "That's silly, isn't it?...for me to think that way..." "No, no! It isn't," Sora said, "Riku and I feel the same. We just thought you were so happy being back home that we didn't want to mention it." Kairi smiled, "Well...I'm glad you think so...and, if we're being truthful and all, I guess being on the islands again isn't so bad still, especially since you're back again." Sora blushed again as he smiled back. "And Riku, too, of course," Kairi corrected herself, "It was so lonely without you both here. I just wish I could've come on your adventures with you." "Well, that's about to change tomorrow when we all go together." Kairi stared up at him, "But...what if just you and I went?" Sora reared back for a second, "What!" "JUST KIDDING!" Kairi laughed. "You're so gullible!" She gave him a soft whack in the arm with her fist. Sora, laughed, too, but faking it, "Uh, yeah, I...guess I am...heh." "You know it wouldn't be fair to leave Riku behind without telling him. I can almost imagine how mad he'd be." "Yeah..." Sora's mind went back to that day on the dock when Kairi mentioned just the two of them going on their first raft. She was so excited then, too. "Sora! Let's take the raft and go. Just the two of us!" "Huh?" "Just kidding!" "What's gotten into you?..." "I just can't wait...once we set sail. It'll be great." Sora could help but laugh to himself. Kairi hadn't changed much since those days. That might have been the reason he loved hanging out with her so much. Her childlike energy always brightened his day. "What are you so happy about?" Kairi asked him. "Oh...nothing," Sora replied. "C'mon, your lying!" "Well, I was just remembering how excited you were the first time we built a raft two years ago. You still have that same excitement about you now." Kairi pondered the statement before saying something. "I guess, despite those adventures we had, we all really haven't changed that much." "You're right. But I'd rather have it that way." "Me, too." Kairi then surprised Sora by jumping up and giving him a great big hug. "You're great just the way you are, Sora." "Sora...don't ever change." She sure enjoyed catching him off guard. Why does she always have to do that? Sora thought to himself. Although it was a little awkward, he felt it wouldn't be right if he didn't return the favor, so he hugged her back. "Thanks, Kairi. You are, too." After staying in their position for a while, Kairi drew back. "Um...Sora?" her head was down. She seemed a little embarrassed, "Can I ask you something?" "Sure...what is it, Kai?" "Be...Before we leave tomorrow could...we go to the...the secret place one more time? I mean, we don't know how long we'll be gone, and I just figured we could go as our way of saying goodbye to the island, and I understand if you don't want to because I was just asking and I thought it would-" "Whoa, Kairi, slow down!" Sora put his hands on her shoulders, "It's okay." She looked up, "You mean...you don't mind going there...just us two?" Oh boy...I knew this was going to come up. Sora felt the nerves coming, but drew up some courage to speak. For some reason it wasn't as hard as he thought it would be. "Of course not. We're best friends aren't we?" "Yeah, friends...right..." Kairi smiled once again. Sora face started turning red as he took his hands off her in a hurry. "Well, Kairi, I better get going...need to get lots of rest for tomorrow." "Definitely. See you in the morning." She waved. He waved back. "Right!...bye." Sora exhaled deeply after he walked out the front door and closed it behind him. "What took you so long?" "Ahhh! Ri-Riku?" Riku was standing right outside. He had been waiting for Sora to come out. Sora inquired, "Were...were you listening the WHOLE time?" "Hmmmm...maybe," Riku started walking away and Sora quickly followed. "So, exactly how much did you hear?" "Oh, I heard enough," Riku smirked. "So...uh..." "Sora, why is it so hard to admit?" "Admit what? What are you talking about?" he raised a quizzical eyebrow. Riku laughed a hearty laugh, "You know perfectly well what I'm talking about." There was a long silence as they walked along the beach's shore, their shoes making noises in the sand. Sora finally brought up the subject, "It's pretty obvious isn't it?" "That you like Kairi?" "Well, I...I just...I guess I'm just a little nervous to...to-" "Tell her how you feel?" "...Yes..." Riku patted him on the back, "Don't worry! You'll be able to do it! I have faith in you." "Thanks, Riku."

Thanks everyone for watching! Here is a vid I did towards the beginning of the year mixing up Kairi from KH in the anime world of Shugo Chara (a dream, basically lol)

Wwwww...wowza! Your stuff is amazing! (hope you don't mind i'm using one of your sora avys) I know there are a few requests already up here in comments, but if you have any time, is there anyway I could maybe request a VENTUS sig? Any size, just not too big. I like the size of most of your made sigs or around the size my current sig is. Any is fine =D Oh, and you can add text if you want, but it's not necessary. Up to you...and any Ven pic is good, preferably a screenshot from the game maybe?

I started this a while back, but it's still in process, so I figured I can post it. 5 chapters are complete, but here's the first one for now. ENJOY! NOBODIES BECOME SOMEBODIES Chapter One: Missing What Has Past

AWWWW thank you guys so much!!!! Here's my YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/Anime17 (and TWO more vids below) I wonder if there are any Final Fantasy fans here, too probably. The video below was made by me AND 7 other YouTube users/editors. 6 seconds of SMEXY enjoy, Riku fangirls! <3

(looks as signature....looks at my username at khinsider 'venfan17' and...) HECK YES MEH LOVES VEN! Okay, maybe not LOVE Love. I'm the kind of fangirl that thinks he's a cute kid =) Since I'm an older gamer, in my 20s and such. I agree with this line: "He said... he said to bring two grown-ups." VOICE ACTED SO WELL< I adored it! Especially his facial expression when saying it <3 And, I completely LOVE the end scenes when he gets upset and such (and ready to kick a** with his keyblade!!) ^but I won't say why for spoiler purposes >.>

Thanks for all the welcomes!!!

By far, it's Birth by Sleep for me. Overall, the plot was just as good as former KH titles, but the EPIC battle system is why I have it rated the highest. SO AWESOME =D And this is something unexpected, because KH1 is very dear to my heart, but BBS was more fun to play.

Hi everyone! I hope to share my AMVs with you all and that you'll enjoy them <3 I'll post some more every now and then on this same thread. Here's my most recent KH ones: (this is part of a song for a group project:) (DON'T WORRY! NO BBS SPOILERS BELOW! Just intro/commercial/beginning/etc clips)

Hi everyone!! I have heard many great things about KH13, so I have decided to join ^.^ You can also find me at kh-vids.net (as ANIME17 also) or at KHINSIDER (i'm known as VenFan17 there) I'm excited and hope to enjoy my time here
