Kingdom Hearts: Saving Life in Another World

Chapter 63: A faithful reunion

The white void had been disoriented for a bit with Subaru, Sora, and Rem all looked around with their guards up. After a moment of disorientation from the white void, the trio manage to see one another once again.

Subaru and Rem both turned towards Sora to see that he has returned back to his adult form, indicating that the Keyblade Master has returned to normal. Both Subaru and Rem went to hug the boy, surprising him at first before smiling, happy to be back with them.

"Master Sora, it is good to have you back."

"Yes, I'm glad to be back my apprentice."

"Sora-kun!"

They stayed hugging for a moment before eventually all three realizing that they all got back their memories. Subaru and Sora both turned towards Rem and hugged her, both of them happy that she got her memories back. Rem was caught off guard by this since she didn't expect the two keyblade wielders to hug her yet she smiled while having tears in her eyes.

She saw how painful and guilt the two had since they were the only ones to remember her. This hurt since even Ram forgot about her yet she was happy that the boy she loves and her friend were able to still remember who she was prior to Lye Batenkaitos and Regulus Corneas' attack. Despite this, she was happy to be back with the group.

"I'm so sorry Rem...I wish that I could've done everything in my power to save you."

"It's not your fault Master Sora, it is mine. If I wasn't so reckless...maybe then I could've prevented it."

"Both of you, stop. I'm just happy to be back with you guys."

The three hugged for a bit before finally they stopped with Rem smiling at the two boys, seeing just how much they miss her. She looked at Sora and just went to kiss him on the cheek. Sora's face turned red for a moment before he smiled at Rem, happy that she got her memories back.

The trio took a moment to process everything before both Sora and Rem turned towards Subaru, both of them recalling that Subaru has the ability known as Return by Death. Subaru noticed the two looking at him and was confused for a moment until he recalled that their amnesia selves had read his book of the dead.

'...shit.'

Subaru didn't know how to deal with this. He was worried that Satella would try to kill them yet he knows from the previous loops of amnesia Subaru that she will be coming.

'I would need to figure something out about Envy but first...'

"L-Look Master Sora, Rem, I kn—"

Before Subaru could even say anything, Sora and Rem hugged him to which he thought to himself,

'I-I guess it's my turn.'

Subaru was surprised for only a few seconds before accepting this, knowing that both his master and his friend care deeply for him. He smiled for a moment before he felt tears coming from his own eyes, now knowing that for sure he has someone he can trust with the secret that is his ability to Return by Death.

"Master Sora...Rem...I-I...I really am sorry...had I been much stronger...much smarter then...I wouldn't have to loop back and..."

"It's okay Subaru, no need to beat yourself up for it."

"Yes, Sora-kun and I are here to help you."

"...thanks you two. My dearest friends."

The three all got their hug and stayed there for a bit before finally they separate with Subaru saying to them,

"It's going to be a bit hard but I ask if you all don't tell the others about Return by Death, especially Emilia-tan. The last thing I want is...for her to know or my parents. The last thing they need to know is that...I have experienced death."
