The Two

 

Chapter 1

 

20 years have passed since we got home. 20 years. I'm 36 years old now, so's Kairi, and Riku's 37. A lot has changed since we came back home. We found out that all the worlds had truly been restored, thanks to the letter that the king had sent us. That meant that Selphie, Wakka, and Tidus were gone now. But, that's all right. Plenty of new people have moved into our ocean-side town.

We still go out to the island every now and then. The children of the people who moved here recently often go out there to play, and, sometimes when they see me, they ask me if I'll practice swordplay with them. I can still summon my keyblade and so can Riku. Kairi can hold one, but, not summon one.

We've all got jobs now. Riku helps out with the construction work around our quickly growing little village, Kairi has a beauty salon near the center of the village, and me, well, I got myself a job as a teacher. I had to leave the village for a while to get certified to be a teacher, but I did it and came back quick enough.

But, you know, after all those adventures, I still find myself longing for more. Like I want to go out and fight again, but then I don't because what would happen if I couldn't come back? Scary thought. But I still find myself thinking about what happened to everyone. What are they doing now? How's King Mickey? What about the princesses? How did everything turn out okay for Leon and the others? Did they all make it back to their homes? Hm...come to think of it…Leon would probably be around 40 or 50 something by now, wouldn't he? I wonder if he could still fight like he used to…

 

“Sora…”

Blue eyes shot open as he sat up. He breathed out hard. Was that a dream? Someone called my name…and…it sounded like they were in trouble…

He swung his legs off the side of his bed and stood. Padding quietly to the balcony that had a clear view of the ocean shore and island beyond, Sora looked out over everything. The half moon cast a silvery light on everything. The sky was clear and the stars that covered it in uncountable numbers shined brightly. He sighed and leaned against the railing. Whose voice had that been? It sounded like a boy's. A young boy's. One of his students? No. None of them called him by his first name. Who else sounded like that?

A slight shuffling next to him made him jerk to attention, as he looked to where the sound had come from, his eyes widened in surprise. There stood a man in a black coat, almost just like the ones that the Organization had worn. Sora clenched his fist and his keyblade materialized in it. The figure held up his hand just as Sora brought hi keyblade back, preparing to strike. Sora's eyes narrowed as he halted. The man lifted his hand and brought them to his hood, pulling the black fabric away from his face.

Sora held his breath for a moment then his grip slackened as he smiled.

“Riku?”

All right, I know that this is an inexcusably short chapter, but, it's all I could really come up with for the first one. And I suppose that this is my first attempt at a cliffe. Horrible, ne?

Ah, oh well.

Later,
