Kingdom Hearts Fan Fiction ❯ Hollow Bastion Reborn ❯ Chapter two: Thinking of you ( Chapter 2 )

Thinking of you wherever you are,
We pray for our sorrows to end and hope that our hearts will blend.
Now I will step forward to realize this wish and who knows:
starting a new journey may not be so hard,
or maybe it has already begun.
There are many worlds,but they share the same sky.
One sky, one destiny.
Kairi.

Sora looked down at the scroll he was holding. He had never told Kairi or Riku that he had kept the scroll. It had been only two years since they were trapped in the darkness and both Riku and Sora didn't think they would return. It was Kairi's letter that opened the door of light and brought them home to their island and back to Kairi side. Not much had change in those two years till now. Now they were back in Twilight town where Heatless had returned and they seemed stronger then Sora had ever seen then. For a moment he thought about giving up to returning back to his island with his friends and let the people of this land deal with their own problems but he quickly shook that idea away. They were counting on him on all of them to protect them from any threat. That was the duty that was giving to both Riku and himself when they were given the power of the Keyblade. He pushed the scrap of paper back in his pocket and smiled at his friends watching him talk to their friends. He took a step towards Kairi but stopped falling to his knees holding his head tightly. He felt something warm sticky running from his nose but his head hurt so badly he couldn't put his hand to his nose to see what it was. He could see Kairi, Riku, and the others calling for him running towards him but for some reason he couldn't hear them and a bright light over took him he remembered falling to the ground and found himself in a dark nothingness. It was all around him he had trouble breathing and out of the darkness came a voice. A dark man's voice evil in nature. "Hello Sora"

He spin around looking for the voice but all he could see was darkness. The voice seemed to echo all around him. "who are you? What is this place?"

The dark voice only laughed a dark and evil sounding laugh that pierced the darkness all around Sora. "I want the Keyblades, I have been locked away in the darkness and now I want to be free, I want everything for myself, but most of all I want to make sure you are under my control forever."

The being laughed again and then Sora felt as if he was falling through the darkness towards a very bright light, As he fell he could hear a female voice calling for him.

"Sora"
"Kairi, where are you?" His voice seemed to be lost in the darkness, as he fell into the bright overpowering light.
"Wake up Sora, please

He opened his eyes and found himself in a darkly painted room laying on a strange bed he had never seen before. Kairi and Riku were standing over him looking down at him. Kairi's face was pale and stained with tears. She had been crying over him. He sat up weakly putting a hand to her checks wiping her tears away. Out of the corner of Sora's eye she could see Tifa sitting in the corner reading. This must have been her house. He finally found his voice and looked at Riku. "Wha...what happened?"

It was Kairi that answered him. "You started holding your head and blood ran down your nose then you fell unconscious on the ground."

"Lucky Tifa, and Cloud were here to help carry you we were worried sick about you..but I think Kairi was worried most of all." Riku finished for Kairi who was now blushing deep red from what Riku just said. Sora gave a cocky grin looking at Kairi. He had never noticed what a beautiful women she had grown into the last few years. Riku smiled at them. He was trying to hide his loneness but he was happy for them and they did make a cute couple. "Are you alright Sora we were worried about you."
"I'm fine really.

All he could think about was that dream and what that dark man had said. What was going to happened to them how would they get through all this. A knock on the door pulled him out of his thought Tifa stood putting her thick brown book in the seat where she was sitting and goes to the door opening it. Riku and Kairi had turned to look at the door. Sora he sat up struggling to look around Kairi and Riku to see himself. There was no one at the door just a small white envelope under a small rock to keep if from blowing away. Tifa stuck her head out the door looking around but saw no body she bend down throwing the rock away picking up the envelope and stepped back inside the room shutting the door behind her. She went over to Sora "Its for you Sora" she handed him the envelope with his name hand written on the front in thin neatly printed black ink. "How did anyone know you were here" Riku asked but it was barely autotable over the sound of his heart that was beating hard in his chest. He tore the top of the envelope open and pulled out a single piece of white paper which was neatly folded in two. He unfolded it and begin reading the neatly written letter:

Dear Sora, Riku and Kairi

First may I say welcome back Keyblade welders and friend. My name is Areiana and if you are wondering how I knew you were back in Twilight Town I have been watching you for some time now but never fear we are on the same side. I was at your others Roxas side when he was a member of Organization XIII but left shortly after he did. You all were great in the last battle but this new evil is much stronger then the last and it will take everything you have to defeat them. Please know that I will be there to help you whenever I can tho I am part of the darkness. If you wish to know what this new force is start your journey at library at Castle Oblivion I will be waiting for you. But take care the journey will be full of darkness and full of people trying to trick you. Walk with care my friends. I will see you soon.

Areiana

Sora folded up the letter sating it in his lap looking at his friends. "What do you think?" Riku scratched the back of his head as if in deep though. "It looks like we don't have much of a choose. If this Areiana wanted to destroy us it sounds like she had plenty of chances."

Kairi nodded at that "It looks like we're have to go to Castle Oblivion and meet with Areiana together." she laid a hand on top of Sora's and looked at Riku her eyes pleading to join them. Riku came over laying a hand on top of the other two. Sora smiled he knew he was the luckiest guy in the world to have such good friends. "Together then to Castle Oblivion."
